Tarry with me, O my Savior

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 250 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tarry with me, O my Saviour, For the day is passing by; See, the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh. 2 Many friends were gathered round me In the bright days of the past, But the grave has closed above them, And I linger here at last. 3 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, Paler now, the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances, Shall it be the night of rest? 4 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on thee; Tarry with me through the darkness, While I sleep, still watch by me.

Hymn of Promise

Author: Natalie Sleeth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals First Line: In the bulb there is a flower Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower; in the seed, an apple tree; in cocoons, a hidden promise: butterflies will soon be free! In the cold and snow of winter there's a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 2 There's a song in every silence, seeking word and melody; there's a dawn in every darkness bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 3 In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity. In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

In Thy Wrath and Hot Displeasure

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In thy wrath and hot displeasure, chasten not thy servant, Lord; let thy mercy, without measure, help and peace to me afford. Heavy is my tribulation, sore my punishment has been; broken by thine indignation, I am troubled by my sin. 2 With my burden of transgression heavy-laden, overborne, humbled low I make confession, for my folly now I mourn. Weak and wounded, I implore thee; Lord, to me thy mercy show; all my pray'r is now before thee, all my trouble thou dost know. 3 Darkness gathers, foes assail me, but I answer not a word; all my friends desert and fail me, only thou my cry hast heard. Lord, in thee am I confiding; thou wilt answer when I call, lest my foes, the good deriding, triumph in thy servant's fall. 4 I am prone to halt and stumble, grief and sorrow dwell within, shame and guilt my spirit humble; I am sorry for my sin. Lord, my God, do not forsake me, let me know that thou art near, under thy protection take me, as my Savior now appear.

Happy place! so near, so precious! May it find me there each day; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, I would look upon the past; For His love has been so gracious, It has won my heart at last. 2 Sitting at the feet of Jesus, Where can mortal be more blest? There I lay my sins and sorrows, And, when weary, find sweet rest; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, There I love to weep and pray; While I from His fullness gather Grace and comfort every day. 3 Bless me, O my Savior, bless me, As *I sit low at Thy feet; [*I’m waiting] Oh, look down in love upon me, Let me see Thy face so sweet; Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus, Keep me holy as He is; May I prove I’ve been with Jesus, Who is all my righteousness.
