The Little While I Linger Here

Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The little while I linger here Should grief and fear o'ertake me? No; Jesus is my Shepherd dear, He never will forsake me. He gave His life to save the herd, And with His Spirit and His Word, Is present with us always. 2 I hear Him speak, I know His voice, I go where'er He beckons. His own He knows, they are His choice, Their numbers, too, He reckons. And He will seek the straying sheep, The feeble in His bosom keep, And gently raise the fallen. 3 He strengthens me with living bread, With waters sweet and gracious, Which flow from life's great fountain-head, With peace and joy most precious. Though rough and thorny is my way, If from His path I do not stray, I shall not be discouraged. 4 O Thou who saidst, "Away from me No one shall snatch them ever." Thee I implore, to Thee I fee, Ah leave, forsake me, never! The world allures; oh, guide me through, That with the blesséd I may view thy Father's glorious mansions. 5 How vain the worldling's pomp and show, How brief His joys and pleasures! The night approaches now, and lo! We leave all earthly treasures. And then what is all earthly bliss to that blest promise, Where He is We shall be with Him also!

Light of the Gentile Nations

As Simeon once had waited His Saviour God to find. 2 Yes, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee, E'en now, in every place Where Thy true Word hath promised That they should see Thy face. Thou yet will gently grant us, Who gather round Thee here, In faith's strong arms to bear Thee, As once that aged seer. 3 Be Thou our Joy, our Brightness, That shines 'mid pain and loss, Our Sun in times of terror, The glory round our cross: A glow in sinking spirits, A sunbeam in distress, Physician, Friend in sickness, In death our happiness. 4 Let us, O Lord, be faithful With Simeon to the end, That so his dying song may From all our hearts ascend: "O Lord, now let Thy servant Depart in peace for aye, Since I have seen my Saviour, Have here beheld His day." 5 My Saviour, I behold Thee Now with the eye of faith: No foe of Thee can rob me, Though bitter words he saith: Within Thy heart abiding, As Thou dost dwell in me, No pain, no death has terrors To part my soul from Thee!

In thy rest and in thy labor Look to Him with every breath, Look to Jesus' life and death. 2 Look to Jesus, till reviving Faith and love thy bosom swell; Strength for all things good deriving From Him who did all things well; Work as He did, in thy season, Works which shall not fade away, Work while it is called to-day. 3 Look to Jesus, praying, waking, When thy feet on roses, tread; Follow, worldly pomp forsaking, With thy cross, where He Hath led. Look to Jesus in temptation; Baffled shall the tempter flee, And God's angels come to thee. 4 Look to Jesus, when dark lowering Perils thy horizon dim; Unlike His disciples cowering, Calm 'mid tempests look on Him. Trust in Him who still rebuketh Wind and billow, fire and flood; Forward! then, and trust in God. 5 Look to Jesus when distresséd, See what He, the Sinless, bore Is thy heart with conflict presséd? Is thy soul still harassed sore? See His bloody sweat, His conflict Watch His agony increase, Hear His prayer, and taste His peace! 6 Art thou by sore want surrounded? Do thy pains press forth thy sighs? Art thou wronged and deeply wounded? Does a scornful world despise? Friends forsake thee or deny thee? See what Jesus must endure, He who as the light was pure! 7 Look to Jesus still to shield thee When this dwelling thou must leave In that last need He will shield thee Peace the world can never give. Look to Him, thy head low bending: He, who finished all for thee, Takes thee then with Him to be. Topics: Sanctification Used With Tune: JESUS! DU DIG SJÄLF UPPVÄCKTE

He loves more tenderly than any mother; To rest in Him is more than wealth and fame. 3 My poor and wretched soul He bought so dearly, And freed from condemnation, death, and hell; The old and bitter foe He crushed completely. My soul, rejoice and sing, for all is well! 4 Thus I’m redeemed; no more the law prevaileth, For Christ, the Lord, is my Redeemer’s Name; His precious blood more than my sin availeth; His merit covers all my guilt and shame. 5 With hallelujahs here I’d tell the story, My Lord to praise, to laud and magnify; And praise His Name for evermore in glory, Before His throne with all the saints on high.

I trust Thee utterly, my Lord, For Thou hast promised in Thy Word! 5 Dear Lord, forgive us all our guilt; Help us to wait until Thou wilt That we depart; and let our faith Be brave, and conquer e'en in death: Firm resting on Thy sacred Word, Until we sleep in Thee, our Lord.
