O for a Heart to Praise My God
How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest
Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest,
The day of the week which I surely love best,
The morning my Saviour arose from the tomb,
And took from the grave all its terror and gloom.
2 Oh, let me be thoughtful and prayerful today,
And not spend a minute in trifling or play,
Remembering these seasons were graciously given
To teach me to seek and prepare me for heaven.
3 In the house of my God, in his presence and fear,
When I worship to-day, may it all be sincere!
In the school when I learn, may I do it with care,
And be grateful to those who watch over me there!
4 Instruct me, my Saviour: a child though I be,
I am not too young to be noticed by thee;
Renew all my heart, keep me firm in thy ways:
I would love thee, and serve thee, and give thee the praise.

How sweet is the Sabbath, the morning of rest
I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest
Author: Anon. Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest
In that promised land of the good and the blest.
Where sin can no longer her blandishments spread,
Where tears and temptations forever are fled?
2 I'm weary of sighing o'er sorrows of earth,
O'er joy's glowing visions that fade at their birth,
O'er pangs for the loved which we cannot assuage,
O'er blightings of you and the weakness of age.
3 I'm weary of hoping, where hope is untrue,
As fair but as fleeting as bright morning dew;
I long for that land whose blest promise alone
Is changeless, and sure as eternity's throne.
4 I'm weary of loving what passes away;
The sweetest and dearest, alas! may not stay:
I long for that land where these partings are o'er,
And death and the tomb can divide us no more!
5 O Jesus, my Saviour, when shall I behold
That morning long promised by prophets of old,
When sin's night of sorrow forever is past,
And death's silent captives are ransomed at last? Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: GOSHEN

In Heavenly Love Abiding
Appears in 594 hymnals First Line: In heav'nly love abiding Lyrics: 1 In heav'nly love abiding
No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me.
My head may low be laid;
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way he taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
3 Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where the dark clouds have been,
My hope I cannot measure
My path to life is free,
My Savior has my treasure,
And He will walk with me. Used With Tune: [In heav'nly love abiding]

Lord, Who at Cana's wedding feast
Author: Adelaide Thrupp; Godfrey Thring Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, Who at Cana’s wedding feast
Didst as a guest appear,
Thou dearer far than earthly guest,
Vouchsafe Thy presence here;
For holy Thou indeed dost prove
The marriage vow to be,
Proclaiming it a type of love
Between the Church and Thee;
2 The holiest vow that man can make,
The golden thread in life,
The bond that none may dare to break,
That bindeth man and wife;
Which, blest by Thee, whate’er betides,
No evil shall destroy,
Through care-worn days each care divides,
And doubles every joy.
3 On those, at Thine altar kneel,
O Lord, Thy blessing pour,
That each may wake the other’s zeal
To love Thee more and more:
O grant them here in peace to live,
In purity and love,
And, this world leaving, to receive
A crown of life above.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life The Family Used With Tune: ST. MARIA
