My spirit on Thy care

Hymnal: BW1870 #365 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My spirit on Thy care, Blest Saviour, I recline; Thou wilt not leave me to despair, For Thou art Love divine. 2 In Thee I place my trust, On Thee I calmly rest: I know Thee good, I know Thee just, And count Thy choice the best. 3 Whate'er events betide, Thy will they all perform;: Safe in Thy breast my head I hide, Nor fear the coming storm. 4 Let good or ill befall, It must be good for me; Secure of having Thee in all, Of having all in Thee.

Thou only Sov'reign of my heart

Hymnal: BW1870 #366 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou only Sov'reign of my heart, My refuge, my almighty Friend! And can my soul from Thee depart, On whom alone my hopes depend? 2 Whither, ah, whither shall I go, A wretched wand'rer from my Lord? Can this dark world of sin and woe One glimpse of happiness afford? 3 Eternal life Thy words impart; On these my fainting spirit lives; Here sweeter comforts cheer my heart Than all the round of nature gives. 4 Low at Thy feet my soul would lie; Here safety dwells, and peace divine; Still let me live beneath Thine eye, for life, eternal life, is Thine.

Dear Refuge of my weary soul

Hymnal: BW1870 #367 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On Thee when sorrows rise, On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief For ev'ry pain I feel. 3 But, oh! when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call Thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail. And all my hopes decline. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to Thee, Though prostrate in the dust.

Sometimes a light surprises

Hymnal: BW1870 #368 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises The Christian while he sings; It is the Lord, Who rises With healing in His wings; When comforts are declining, He grants the soul again A season of clear shining To cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, We sweetly then pursue The theme of God’s salvation, And find it ever new: Set free from present sorrow, We cheerfully can say, Let the unknown to-morrow Bring with it what it may. 3 It can bring with it nothing But He will bear us through; Who gives the lilies clothing, Will clothe His people, too: Beneath the spreading heavens No creature but is fed; And He who feeds the ravens Will give His children bread. 4 Though neither vine nor fig-tree Its wonted fruit should bear, Though all the fields should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet God the same abiding, Yis praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

Give me the wings of faith to rise

Hymnal: BW1870 #369 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Give me the wings of faith to rise Within the veil, and see The saints above, how great their joys How bright their glories be. 2 Once they were mourning here below, And bathed their couch with tears; They wrestled hard, as we do now, With sins, and doubts, and fears. 3 I ask them whence their vict'ry came; They, with united breath, Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, Their triumph to His death. 4 They mark'd the footsteps that He trod; His zeal inspired their breast; And, following their incarnate God, Possess the promised rest. 5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise, For His own pattern given; While the long cloud of witnesses Shows the same path to heaven.

Happy the man whose wishes climb

Hymnal: BW1870 #370 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Happy the man whose wishes climb To mansions in the skies! He looks on all the joys of time With undesiring eyes. 2 In vain soft pleasure spreads her charms, And throws her silken chain; And wealth and fame invite his arms, And tempt his ear in vain. 3 He knows that all these glitt'ring things Must yield to sure decay; And sees on time's extended wings How swift they flee away. 4 To things unseen by mortal eyes, A beam of sacred light Directs his view; his prospects rise All permanent and bright. 5 His hopes are fix'd on joys to come: Those blissful scenes on high Shall flourish in immortal bloom, When time and nature die.

Courage, my soul! while God is near

Hymnal: BW1870 #371 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Courage, my soul! while God is near, What enemy hast thou to fear? How canst thou want a sure defence, Whose refuge is Omnipotence? 2 Though thickest dangers crowd my way, My God can chase my fears away: My steadfast heart on Him relies, And all those dangers still defies. 3 Though billows after billows roll To overwhelm my sinking soul, Firm as a rock my faith shall stand Upheld by God's almighty hand. 4 In life, His presence is my aid; In death, 'twill guide me through the shade, Chase all my rising fears away, And turn my darkness into day.

I look to Jesus, and the face

Hymnal: BW1870 #372 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I look to Jesus, and the face Of God is turn'd on me in love, I feel a Father's fond embrace, And all my doubts and fears remove. 2 I look to Jesus, and behold! My heart is lighten'd of its cares, My love for earthly things grows cold, And pleasure vainly spreads her snares. 3 I look to Jesus, and the sight Of all that He endured for me, Makes e'en my greatest sufferings light, Compared with His deep agony. 4 I look to Jesus when my zeal And faith and love grow dead and cold; Then doth He Calvary reveal, And makes me in His service bold. 5 Thus let me, Lord, while life doth last, In faith look ever up to Thee, And when life's sinful days are past I shall Thy face in glory see.

O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!

Hymnal: BW1870 #373 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of His countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that His presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round: They bear me away in His presence to be: I see Him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; I shall know how His love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turn'd away.

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Hymnal: BW1870 #374 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day? 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; No one into His kingdom comes, But through His open'd door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blesséd face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be! 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints, And weary, sinful days, And join with all triumphant saints Who sing my Jehovah's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small; The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him.
