My Father! cheering name!

Hymnal: BW1870 #445 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My Father! cheering name! Oh, may I call Thee mine? Give me with humble hope to claim A portion so divine. 2 This can my fears control, And bid my sorrows fly: What real harm can reach my soul Beneath my Father's eye? 3 Whate'er Thy will denies, I calmly would resign: For Thou art just, and good, and wise: Oh, bend my will to Thine! 4 Whate'er Thy will ordains, Oh, give me strength to bear; Still let me know a Father reigns, And trust a Father's care. 5 Thy ways are little known To my weak, erring sight; Yet shall my soul, believing, own, That all Thy ways are right.

When gloomy thoughts and fears

Hymnal: BW1870 #446 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When gloomy thoughts and fears The trembling heart invade, And all the face of nature wears A universal shade; 2 Religion can assuage The tempest of the soul; And ev'ry fear shall lose its rage At her divine control. 3 Through life's bewilder'd way, Her hand unerring leads; And o'er the path her heavenly ray A cheering lustre sheds. 4 When reason, tired and blind, Sinks helpless and afraid, Thou blest supporter of the mind, How powerful is thine aid! 5 Oh, let me feel thy power, And find thy sweet relief, To brighten ev'ry gloomy hour, And soften ev'ry grief.

There is a glorious world on high

Hymnal: BW1870 #447 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 There is a glorious world on high, Resplendent with eternal day; Faith views the blissful prospect nigh, While God's own word reveals the way. 2 How blest are those, how truly wise, Who learn and keep the sacred road! Happy the men whom heaven employs To turn rebellious hearts to God! 3 The shining firmament shall fade, And sparkling stars resign their light: But these shall know nor change nor shade, For ever fair, for ever bright. 4 On wings of faith and strong desire, Oh, may our spirits daily rise; And reach at last the shining choir, In the bright mansions of the skies!

How do Thy mercies close me round!

Hymnal: BW1870 #448 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How do Thy mercies close me round! For ever be Thy name adored; I blush in all things to abound; The servant is above his Lord! 2 Inured to poverty and pain, A suff'ring life my Master led: The Son of God, the Son of man, He had not where to lay His head. 3 But lo! a place He hath prepared For me, whom watchful angels keep; Yea, He himself becomes my guard; He smooths my bed and gives me sleep. 4 Jesus protects; my fears, begone: What can the Rock of Ages move? Safe in Thine arms I lay me down, Thine everlasting arms of love. 5 I rest beneath th'Almighty's shade, My griefs expire, my troubles cease; Thou, Lord, on whom my soul is stay'd, Wilt keep me still in perfect peace. 6 Me for Thine own Thou lov'st to take In time and in eternity; Thou never, never wilt forsake A helpless worm that trusts in Thee.

'Tis a point I long to know

Hymnal: BW1870 #452 (1870) Lyrics: 1 'Tis a point I long to know, Oft it causes anxious thought, Do I love the Lord, or no? Am I His, or am I not? 2 When I turn mine eyes within, All is dark, and vain, and wild: Fill'd with unbelief and sin, Can I deem myself a child? 3 Lord, decide the doubtful case! Thou who art Thy people's sun, Since upon Thy work of grace, If it be indeed begun. 4 Let me love Thee more and more, If I love at all, I pray: If I have not loved before, Help me to begin to-day.

Jesus, my Saviour and my God

Hymnal: BW1870 #453 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour and my God, Thou hast redeem'd me with Thy blood By ties, both natural and divine, I am, and ever will be Thine. 2 But ah! should my inconstant heart, Ere I'm aware, from Thee depart, What dire reproach would fall on me For such ingratitude to Thee! 3 The thought I dread, the crime I hate; The guilt, the shame, I deprecate: And yet so mighty are my foes, I dare not trust my warmest vows. 4 Pity my frailty, dearest Lord! Grace in the needful hour afford: Oh, steel this tim'rous heart of mine With fortitude and love divine. 5 So shall I triumph o'er my fears, And gather joys from all my tears; So shall I to the world proclaim The honors of the Christian name.
