Gently, Lord, oh, gently lead us

Hymnal: BW1870 #385 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Gently, Lord, oh, gently lead us Through this lonely vale of tears; Through the changes Thou'st decreed us, Till our last great change appears: When temptation's darts assail us, When in devious paths we stray, Let Thy goodness never fail us; Lead us in Thy perfect way. 2 In the hour of pain and anguish, In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish, Suffer not our souls to fear. And when mortal life is ended, Bid us in Thy bosom rest; Till by angel-bands attended We awake among the blest!

Oh, deem not they are blest alone

Hymnal: BW1870 #386 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Oh, deem not they are blest alone, Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep; For God, who pities man, hath shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. 2 The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears; And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. 3 There is a day of sunny rest For every dark and troubles night; And grief may bide an evening guest, But joy shall come with early light. 4 Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny; Though with a pierced and broken heart And spurn'd of men he goes to die. 5 For God has mark'd each sorrowing day, And number'd every secret tear, And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all His children suffer here.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!

Hymnal: BW1870 #387 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah! Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy powerful hand: Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more. 2 Open Thou the crystal fountain Whence the healing streams do flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong Deliv'rer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death! and hell's Destruction! Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee.

Jehovah is our strength

As long as we are His, We never can be poor: In vain do earth and hell oppose, For God is stronger than His foes. 4 The Lord our Shepherd is, He knows our ev'ry need; And since we now are His, His care our souls will feed: In vain do sin and death oppose, For God is stronger than His foes. 5 Our God our Father is, Our names are on His heart; We ever will be His, He ne’er from us will part: In vain the world and flesh oppose, For God is stronger than His foes.

Oh for a closer walk with God

Hymnal: BW1870 #392 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame; A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew When first I saw the Lord? Where is the soul-refreshing view Of Jesus and His word? 3 What peaceful hours I once enjoy'd! How sweet their memory still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 Return, O Holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest! I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, And drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb.

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Hymnal: BW1870 #394 (1870) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the Cross I spend; Life and health, and peace possessing, From the sinner's dying Friend: 2 Love and grief my heart dividing, With my tears His feet I'll bathe; Constant still, in faith abiding, Life deriving from His death. 3 Truly blesséd is this station-- Low before His Cross I'll lie; While I see divine compassion Beaming in His gregarious eye; 4 Here I'll sit forever viewing Mercy streaming in His blood: Precious drops, my soul bedewing, Plead and claim my peace with god.
