In seasons of grief to my God I'll repair

Author: Wm. Hunter Hymnal: VoP1873 #1035 (1873) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 In seasons of grief to my God I'll repair, When my heart is o'erwhelmed with sorrow and care; From the end of the earth unto thee will I cry,-- Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I, Higher than I, higher than I, Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. 2 When Satan, the tempter, comes in like a flood, To drive my poor soul from the fountain of good, I'll pray to the Lord, who for sinners did die, Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. 3 And when I have finished my pilgrimage here, Complete in Christ's righteousness I shall appear, In the swellings of Jordan all dangers defy, And look to the Rock that is higher than I. 4 And when the last trumpet shall sound through the skies, And the dead from the dust of the earth shall arise, Transported, I'll join with the ransomed on high To praise the great Rock that is higher than I, Higher than I, higher than I, To praise the great Rock that is higher than I.

Mourn for the thousands slain

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #1036 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Mourn for the thousands slain, The youthful and the strong; Mourn for the wine-cup's fearful reign, And the deluded throng. 2 Mourn for the tarnished gem-- For reason's light divine Quenched from the soul's bright diadem, Where God had bid it shine. 3 Mourn for the ruined soul-- Eternal life and light Lost by the fiery, maddening bowl, And turned to helpless night. 4 Mourn for the lost--but call, Call to the strong, the free; Rouse them to shun that dreadful fall, And to the refuge flee. 5 Mourn for the lost--but pray, Pray to our God above, To break the fell destroyer's sway, And show his saving love.

Let Zion's sons and Levi's tribe

Author: S. M. Hoover Hymnal: VoP1873 #1039 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let Zion's sons and Levi's tribe And Israel's army move; Come, now, prepare to offer prayer, While in the tented grove. 2 Leave all the busy cares of life, All worldly things behind, That you may gather strength of soul, And fortify the mind. 3 For Jesus surely will be here, To fire our souls with love; And we shall find our hearts inclined To love the tented grove. 4 By faith we claim thy promise, Lord, Thy faithfulness to prove; Draw near to us, thou sinner's friend, While in our tented grove. 5 Oh, sacred ground, delightful place, Where God appears to man! Like Moses, we behold his face With but a vail between. 6 But when we rise to paradise, To worship God above, Then happier ground we all shall find Than in the tented grove.

Here's pardon, comfort, rest, a home; Lost wanderers, here's a refuge nigh; Jesus of Nazareth passeth by! Topics: Spiritual Songs; Jesus of Nazareth

When for th' eternal world I steer

Author: Leavitt Hymnal: VoP1873 #1042 (1873) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 When for th' eternal world I steer, And seas are calm and skies are clear, And faith in lively exercise, And distant hills of Canaan rise, My soul for joy then claps her wings, And loud her lovely sonnet sings, I'm going home. 2 With cheerful heart, her eyes explore Each land-mark on the distant shore, The tree of life, the pastures green The pearly gates, the crystal stream; Again for joy she claps her wings, And loud her lovely sonnet sings, I'm almost home. 3 The nearer still she draws to land, More eager all her powers expand; With steady helm and free, bent sail, Her anchor drops within the vail; With holy joy she folds her wings, And her celestial sonnet sings, I'm safe at home. 4 Now, safely moored, no storm I fear, My God, my Christ, my heaven is here; And all the joys of paradise In holiness and beauty rise: 'Tis now the soul, with folded wing, Her thrilling notes of joy shall sing: Glory to God!

He leads us on by paths we did not know
