And are we yet alive

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 223 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And are we yet alive, And see each other's face? Glory and praise to Jesus give For His redeeming grace! 2 Preserved by power divine To full salvation here, Again in Jesus' praise we join, And in His sight appear. 3 What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we past, Fightings without, and fears within, Since we assembled last! 4 But out of all the Lord Hath brought us by His love; And still He doth His help afford, And hides our life above. 5 Then let us make our boast Of His redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more: 6 Let us take up the cross, Till we the crown obtain; And gladly reckon all things loss, So we may Jesus gain.

And put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the strength of every saint. 3 O mighty God, Thy matchless power Is ever new, and ever young, And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run! 4 From Thee, the ever-flowing Spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply; While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as the eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire along the heavenly road.

And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will. O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control; O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul. 4 O Jesus, Thou hast promised, To all who follow Thee, That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow My Master and my Friend. 5 O let me see Thy footmarks, And in them plant mine own; My hope to follow duly Is in Thy strength alone.

Sometimes a light surprises

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 409 hymnals 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, Even 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 vine nor fig-tree neither Their wonted fruit shall bear. Though all the field should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there; Yet, God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; For while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.
