Barton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 281 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path, when wont to stray, Stream from the fount of heavenly grace, Brook by the traveler's way; 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed, True manna from on high; Our guide and chart, wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky; 3 Pillar of fire through watches dark, Or radiant cloud by day; When waves would 'whelm our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay; 4 Word of the ever-living God, Will of His glorious Son; Without Thee how could earth be trod, Or heaven itself be won? 5 Lord, grant us all aright to learn The wisdom it imparts; And to its heavenly teaching turn, With simple, childlike hearts.

Lift Up Your Hearts to Things Above

To Jesus’ name give thanks and sing, Whose mercies never end: Rejoice! rejoice! the Lord is king; The King is now our friend! 3. We, for His sake, count all things loss; On earthly good look down; And joyfully sustain the cross, Till we receive the crown. 4. O let us stir each other up, Our faith by works to approve, By holy, purifying hope, And the sweet task of love! 5. Love us, though far in flesh disjoined, Ye lovers of the Lamb; And ever bear us on your mind, Who think and speak the same: 6. You on our minds we ever bear, Whoe’er to Jesus bow; Stretch out the arms of faith and prayer, And lo! we reach you now. 7. Surely we now your souls embrace, With you we now appear Present before the throne of grace, And you, and Christ, are here. 8. The blessings all on you be shed, Which God in Christ imparts; We pray the Spirit of our Head Into your faithful hearts. 9. Mercy and peace your portion be, To carnal minds unknown, The hidden manna, and the tree Of life, and the white stone. 10. Live till the Lord in glory come, And wait His Heaven to share: Our Savior now prepares our home: Go on—we’ll meet you there. Used With Tune: HUMMEL Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749

I give Thee thanks for every drop— The bitter and the sweet. 2. I praise Thee for the desert road, And for the riverside; For all Thy goodness hath bestowed, And all Thy grace denied. 3. I thank Thee for both smile and frown, And for the gain and loss; I praise Thee for the future crown, And for the present cross. 4. I thank Thee for the wing of love, Which stirred my worldly nest; And for the stormy clouds which drove The flutterer to Thy breast. 5. I bless Thee for the glad increase, And for the waning joy; And for this strange, this settled peace, Which nothing can destroy. Used With Tune: BELMONT Text Sources: Lays of the Reformation, 1860

Searcher of hearts, before Thy face

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Searcher of hearts, before Thy face I all my soul display, And, conscious of its innate arts, Entreat Thy strict survey. 2 If, lurking in its inmost folds, I any sin conceal, O let a ray of light divine The secret guile reveal! 3 If in these fatal fetters bound A wretched slave I lie: Smite off my chains, and wake my soul To light and liberty! 4 To humble penitence and prayer Be gentle pity given; Speak ample pardon to my heart, And seal its claim to heaven.
