Come, my Soul, thy Suit Prepare

Author: John Newton Appears in 715 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare, Jesus loves to answer pray'r; He Himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say thee nay. 2 With my burden I begin; Lord, remove this load of sin; Let Thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt. 3 Lord, I come to Thee for rest, Take possession of my breast, There Thy blood-bought right maintain And without a rival reign. 4 While I am a pilgrim here, Let Thy love my spirit cheer; As my guide, my guard, my friend, Lead me to my journey's end. 5 Show me what I have to do, Ev'ry hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die Thy people's death.

Once More the Liberal Year Laughs Out

Author: John G. Whittier Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: Once more the lib'ral year laughs out Lyrics: 1 Once more the lib'ral year laughs out O'er richer stores than gems or gold; Once more, with harvest-song and shout, Is nature's bloodless triumph told. 2 O favors ev'ry year made new! O blessings with the sunshine sent! The bounty overruns our due, The fullness shames our discontent. 3 We shut our eyes, the flow'rs bloom on; We murmur, but the corn ears fill; We choose the shadow, but the sun That casts it, shines behind us still. 4 Now let these altars, wreath'd with flow'rs And piled with fruits, awake again Thanksgiving for the golden hours, The early and the latter rain.

Jesus, Lover of my Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 3,303 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Savior, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ! art all I want; More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind! Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within; Thou of life the Fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart! Rise to all eternity! Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Justification Used With Tune: MARTYN

When, anthems swelling, I sing the angels' strain. 5 O faithful Savior, My sweetest rest and stay! O let me never From Thee in darkness stray! My soul deliver, And guide Thy weary dove, By grace and favor, Home to the place I love-- My home forever-- Jerusalem above. 6 There, past life's sadness, 'Tis good to be at rest, In joy and gladness, With saints forever blest; Lord, let me ever Walk in Thy faith and fear, That, past death's river, I may Thy welcome hear: "Come, blest forever, Come in, my servant dear!"

A few More Years shall Roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 384 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb. A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time, And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime. 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while, And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign; Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!
