O Love, who formedst me to wear

Author: J. Scheffler Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Love, who formedst me to wear The image of Thy Godhead here; Who soughtest me with tender care Through all my wanderings wild and drear; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be. 2 O Love, who ere life’s earliest morn On me Thy choice hast gently laid, O Love, who here as man wast born, And wholly like to us wast made; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be. 3 O Love, who once in time wast slain, Pierced through and through with bitter woe; O Love, who wrestling thus didst gain That we eternal joy might know; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be. 4 O Love, who lovedst me for aye, Who for my soul dost ever plead, O Love, who didst that ransom pay Whose power sufficeth in my stead; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be. 5 O Love, who once shalt bid me rise From out this dying life of ours; O Love, who once o’er yonder skies Shalt set me in the fadeless bowers; O Love, I give myself to Thee, Thine ever, only Thine to be.

When along life's thorny road

Author: James G.

O for a faith that will not shrink

Author: W. H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 709 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by many a foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe, 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod, But, in the hour of grief or pain, Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; 4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile; 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life’s last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed! 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come, We’ll taste e’en here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Appears in 234 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see: I ask Thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, To wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate; A work of lowly love to do For Him on whom I wait. 5 I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side, Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. 6 In service which Thy will appoints There are no bonds for me; My secret heart is taught the truth That makes Thy children free; A life of self-renouncing love Is one of liberty.
