Thou art the Way: to Thee alone

When along life's thorny road

Author: James G. Deck Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When along life's thorny road, Faints the soul beneath the load, By its cares and sins opprest, Finds on earth no peace or rest; When the wily tempter's near, Filling us with doubt and fear: Jesus, to Thy feet we flee, Jesus, we will look to Thee. 2 thou, our Savior, from the throne Listenest to Thy people's moan; Thou, the living Head, dost share Every pang Thy members bear; Full of tenderness Thou art, Thou wilt heal the broken heart; Full of power Thine arm shall quell All the rage bad might of hell. 3 Mighty to redeem and save, Thou hast overcome the grave; Thou the bars of death hast riven, Opened wide the bars of heaven; Soon in glory thou shalt come, Taking Thy poor pilgrims home; Jesus, then we all shall be, Ever, ever, Lord, with Thee.

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 233 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.

O day of rest and gladness

Author: C. Wordsworth Appears in 821 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright, On thee the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing holy, holy, holy! To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the Creation The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord, victorious The Spirit sent from heaven; And thus on thee, most glorious, A triple light was given. 3 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise; Thou at a cooling fountain, In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 4 Today on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises; To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One.
