My God, the Spring of all my joys

Hymnal: BW1870 #335 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, the Spring of all my joys, The Life of my delights, The Glory of my brightest days, And Comfort of my nights: 2 In darkest shades, if He appear, My dawning is begun; He is my soul’s sweet Morning Star, And he my rising Sun. 3 The opening heavens around me shine With beams of sacred bliss, While Jesus shows His heart is mine, And whispers, I am His. 4 My soul would leave this heavy clay At that transporting word, Run up with joy the shining way, T’embrace my dearest Lord. 5 Fearless of hell and ghastly death, I’d break through every foe; The wings of love and arms of faith Would bear me conqueror through.

Ever patient, gentle, meek

Hymnal: BW1870 #336 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Ever patient, gentle, meek, Holy Saviour! was Thy mind; Vainly in myself I seek, Likeness to my Lord to find; Yet, that mind which was in Thee, May be, must be form'd in me. 2 Days of toil, 'mid throngs of men, Vex'd not, ruffled not Thy soul; Still, collected, calm, serene, Thou each feeling couldst control. Lord, that mind which was in Thee, May be, must be form'd in me. 3 Though such griefs were Thine to bear, For each suff'rer Thou couldst feel; Every mourner's burden share, Every wounded spirit heal: Saviour! let thy grace in me Form that mind which was in Thee.

Jesus, cast a look on me!

We journey through a vale of tears

Hymnal: BW1870 #339 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 We journey through a vale of tears, By many a cloud o’ercast; And worldly cares, and worldly fears, Go with us to the last. 2 Not to the last! Thy Word hath said, Could we but read aright-- Poor pilgrim, lift in hope thy head; At eve there shall be light! 3 Only believe, in living faith, His love and power divine; And ere thy sun shall set in death, His light shall round thee shine. 4 When tempest-clouds are dark on high, His bow of love and peace Shines sweetly in the vaulted sky,-- A pledge that storms shall cease. 5 Hold on thy way, with hope unchill'd, By faith and not by sight, And thou shalt own His Word fulfill'd,-- At eve it shall be light.

"We've no abiding city here"

Hymnal: BW1870 #340 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 "We've no abiding city here," This may distress the worldly mind; But should not cost a saint a tear, Who hopes a better rest to find. 2 "We've no abiding city here," Sad truth, were this to be our home; But let this thought our spirits cheer, "We seek a city yet to come." 3 "We've no abiding city here," Then let us live as pilgrims do: Let not the world our rest appear; But let us haste from all below. 4 "We've no abiding city here," We seek a city out of sight: Zion it's name,--the Lord is there, It shines with everlasting light. 5 O sweet abode of peace and love, Where pilgrims freed from toil are blest; Had I the pinions of the dove, I'd flee to thee, and be at rest. 6 But hush, my soul! nor dare repine; The time my God appoints is best: While here, to do His will be mine, And His to fix my time of rest.

O Zion, when I think of thee

Hymnal: BW1870 #341 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Zion, when I think of thee, I wish for pinions like a dove, And mourn to think that I should be So distant from the place I love. 2 An exile here, and far from home, For Zion's sacred walls I sigh; Thither the ransom'd nations come, And see the Saviour eye to eye. 3 While here I walk on hostile ground, The few that I can call my friends, Are like myself, with fetters bound, And weariness our steps attends. 4 But yet we shall behold the day When Zion's children shall return, Our sorrows then shall flee away, And we shall never, never mourn. 5 The hope that such a day will come Makes ev'n the exile's portion sweet; Though now we wander far from home, In Zion soon we all shall meet.

And let this feeble body fail

Hymnal: BW1870 #342 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the cross sustain, And gladly wonder up and down, And smile at toil and pain. I suffer on my threescore years Till my deliverer come, And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 Oh, what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravish'd eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright Who taste the pleasures there! They all are robed in spotless white, And conq'ring palms they bear. 4 Oh, what are all my suff'rings here If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day.

On Jordan's stormy banks I stand

Hymnal: BW1870 #343 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan's fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. 2 Oh, the transporting, rapt'rous scene, That rises to my sight! Sweet fields array'd in living green, And rivers of delight. 3 There generous fruits, that never fail, On trees immortal grow; There rocks and hills, and brooks and vales With milk and honey flow. 4 All o'er those wide-extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. 5 No chilling winds or pois'nous breath Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and fear'd no more. 6 When I shall reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When I shall see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? 7 Fill'd with delight, my raptured soul Would here no longer stay; Though Jordan's waves around me roll, Fearless I'd launch away.
