Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts

Hymnal: BW1870 #405 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest Jesus! when my soaring thoughts O’er all Thy graces rove, How is my soul in transport lost-- In wonder, joy, and love! 2 Not softest strains can charm mine ears, Like Thy belovéd name, Nor aught beneath the skies inspire, My heart with equal flame. 3 Where’er I look, my wond'ring eyes Unnumber'd blessings see; But what is life, with all its bliss, If once compared to Thee? 4 When nature faints, around my bed Let Thy bright glories shine; And death shall all his terrors lose In raptures so divine.

God, my supporter and my hope

Hymnal: BW1870 #406 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God, my supporter and my hope, My help for ever near, Thine arm of mercy held me up, And saves me from despair. 2 Thy counsels, Lord, shall guide my feet Through this dark wilderness; Thy hand conduct me near Thy seat, To dwell before Thy face. 3 Were I in heaven without my God, ’Twould be no joy to me, And while this earth is my abode, I long for none but Thee. 4 What if the springs of life were broke, And flesh and heart should faint? God is my soul’s eternal rock, The strength of ev'ry saint.

Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings

Hymnal: BW1870 #407 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul! and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things, Toward heaven, thy native place: Sun and moon, and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun,-- Both speed them to their source: To a soul that's born of God, Pants to view His glorious face, Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, ye pilgrims! cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon your Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven.

Thou art my shield, my hiding-place; My hope is in Thy Word. 6 Thou hast inclined this heart of mine Thy statutes to fulfil; And thus till mortal life shall end Would I perform Thy will.

Hymnal: BW1870 #409 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great God, indulge my heartfelt claim; Be Thou my hope, my joy, my rest; The glories that compose Thy name Stand all engaged to make me blest. 2 Thou great and good, Thou just and wise, Thou art my Father and my God; And I am thine by sacred ties, Thy child and servant, bought with blood. 3 With heart and eyes, and lifted hands, For Thee I long, for Thee I look, As travellers in thirsty lands, Pant for the cooling water-brook. 4 E'en life itself, without Thy love, No lasting pleasures can afford: Yea, 'twould a tiresome burden prove, If I were banish'd from Thee, Lord. 5 I'll lift my hands, I'll raise my voice, While I have breath to pray or praise; This work shall make my heart rejoice Throughout the remnant of my days.

Let thoughtless thousands choose the road

Hymnal: BW1870 #410 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road That leads the soul away from God; This happiness, dear Lord, be mine, To live and die entirely Thine. 2 On Christ, by faith, my soul would live; From Him, my life, my all receive; To Him devote my fleeting hours; Serve Him alone with all my powers. 3 Christ is my everlasting all; To Him I look, on Him I call; He will my ev'ry want supply, In time, and through eternity. 4 Soon will the Lord, my Life, appear; Soon shall I end my trials here; Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain; To live is Christ, to die is gain. 5 Soon will the saints in glory meet, Soon walk through ev'ry golden street, And sing on ev'ry blissful plain, To live is Christ, to die is gain.

How vain are all things here below!

Hymnal: BW1870 #414 (1870) Lyrics: 1 How vain are all things here below! How false, and yet how fair! Each pleasure hath its poison too, And every sweet a snare. 2 The brightest things below the sky Give but a flatt'ring light; We should suspect some danger nigh Where we possess delight. 3 Our dearest joys, and nearest friends, The partners of our blood, How they divide our wavering minds, And leave but half for God! 4 Dear Saviour, let Thy beauties be My soul's eternal food; And grace command my heart away From all created good.
