Thy Loving-kindness, Lord, Is Good and Free

Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy loving-kindness, Lord, is good and free, In tender mercy turn Thou unto me; Hide not Thy face from me in my distress, In mercy hear my prayer, Thy servant bless. 2 Needy and sorrowful, to Thee I cry; Let Thy salvation set my soul on high; Then I will sing and praise Thy holy name, My thankful song Thy mercy shall proclaim. 3 With joy the meek shall see my soul restored; Your heart shall live, ye saints that seek the Lord; He helps the needy and regards their cries, Those in distress the Lord will not despise. 4 Let heaven above His grace and glory tell, Let earth and sea and all that in them dwell; Salvation to His people God will give, And they that love His name with Him shall live. Amen. Topics: Comfort; God Grace; Prayer; Life in Christ Prayer and Intercession Scripture: Psalm 69:17-19 Used With Tune: ELLERS Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear; The feast, though not the love, is past and gone. The bread and wine remove, but Thou art here, Nearer than ever,—still my Shield and Sun. 2 I have no help but Thine; nor do I need Another arm save Thine to lean upon. It is enough, my Lord, enough, indeed; My strength is in Thy mighty—Thy might alone. 3 I have no wisdom, save in Him who is My Wisdom and my Teacher, both in one; No wisdom can I lack while Thou art wise, No teaching do I crave save Thine alone. 4 I know that deadly evils compass me, Dark perils threaten, yet I would not fear, Nor poorly shrink, nor feebly turn to flee,— Thou, O my Christ, art Buckler, Sword and Spear. 5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by; Yet, passing, points to the glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Search Me, O Lord

Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Search me, O Lord, and try this heart of mine Lyrics: 1. Search me, O Lord, and try this heart of mine, Search me, and prove if I indeed am Thine. Test by Thy Word, that never changed can be, My strength of hope and living faith in Thee. 2. Search me, O Lord, subdue each vain desire, And in my soul a deeper love inspire. Hide Thou my life, that I, supremely blest, Beneath Thy wings in perfect peace may rest. 3. Search me, O Lord, and from the dross of sin, Refine as gold, and keep me pure within, Search Thou my thoughts whose springs Thine eyes can see; From secret faults, O Savior, cleanse Thou me. 4. Search me, O Lord, let faith through grace divine Thyself reflect in every act of mine, Till at Thy call my waiting soul shall rise, Caught up with joy, to meet Thee whom I prize.
