Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tower

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #461 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Thee will I love, my Strength, my Tower, Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown; Thee will I love with all my power, In all my works, and Thee alone: Thee will I love, till sacred fire Fill my whole soul with pure desire. 2 I thank Thee, uncreated Sun, That Thy bright beams on me have shined: I thank Thee, Who hast overthrown My foes, and heal'd my wounded mind; I thank Thee, Whose enlivening voice Bids my freed heart in Thee rejoice. 3 Uphold me in the doubtful race, Nor suffer me again to stray; Strengthen my feet, with steady pace Still to press forward in Thy way; That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. 4 Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown; Thee will I love, my Lord, my God! Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown Or smile, Thy sceptre or Thy rod; What though my flesh and heart decay? Thee shall I love in endless day. Topics: The Christian Life Love Languages: English

Come, we that love the Lord

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #462 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known! Join in a song with sweet accord, And thus surround the throne. 2 Let those refuse to sing That never knew our God, But children of the heavenly King May speak their joys abroad. 3 The God of heaven is ours, Our Father and our love; He shall send down His heavenly powers To carry us above. 4 There we shall see His face, And never, never sin; There, from the rivers of His grace, Drink endless pleasures in. 5 Children of grace have found Glory begun below; Celestial fruits on earthly ground From faith and hope may grow. 6 The hill of Sion yields A thousand sacred sweets, Before we reach the heavenly fields, Or walk the golden streets. 7 Then let our songs abound, And every tear be dry; We're marching through Emmanuel's ground To fairer worlds on high.

Soon will He call you hence away, And take His wanderers home. Topics: The Christian Life Joy Languages: English

The King of love my Shepherd is

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #464 (1871) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine for ever. 2 Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul He leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish oft I stray'd, But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill With Thee, dear Lord, beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy Cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight, Thy unction grace bestoweth, And O the transport of delight with which my cup o'erfloweth! 6 And so, through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never: Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house for ever!

Quiet Lord my froward heart

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #465 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Quiet, Lord, my froward heart; Make me teachable and mild, Upright, simple, free from art; Make me as a little child, From distrust and envy free, Pleased with all that pleases Thee. 2 What Thou shalt to-day provide Let me as a child receive; What to-morrow may betide Calmly to Thy wisdom leave; 'Tis enough that Thou wilt care; Why should I the burden bear? 3 As a little child relies On a care beyond his own, Knows he's neither strong nor wise, Fears to stir a step alone, Let me thus with Thee abide, As my Father, Guard, and Guide.

O, for a heart to praise my God

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #467 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God, A heart from sin set free! A heart that's sprinkled with the blood, So freely shed for me; 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My dear Redeemer's throne; Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone; 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean; Which neither life nor death can part From Him that dwells within. 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine, Perfect, and right, and pure, and good-- A copy, Lord, of Thine! 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write Thy new name upon my heart, Thy new, best name of Love.

There is a fold whence none can stray

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #468 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a fold whence none can stray, And pastures ever green, Where sultry sun, or stormy day, Or night, is never seen. 2 Far up the everlasting hills, In God's own light, it lies; His smile its vast dimension fills With joy that never dies. 3 One narrow vale, one darksome wave, Divides that land from tis; I have a Shepherd pledged to save, And bear me home to bliss. 4 Soon at His feet my soul will lie, In life's last struggling breath; But I shall only seem to die, I shall not taste of death. 5 Far from this guilty world, to be Exempt from toil and strife; To spend eternity with Thee,-- My Saviour, this is life!

God shall charge his angel legions

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #469 (1871) Lyrics: 1 God shall charge His angel legions Watch and ward o'er thee to keep; Though thou walk through hostile regions, Though in desert wilds thou sleep. 2 On the lion vainly roaring, On the young, thy foot shall tread; And, the dragon's den exploring, Thou shalt bruise the serpent's head. 3 Since, with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of His protection He will shield thee from above. 4 Thou shalt call on Him in trouble, He will hearken, He will save; Here for grief reward thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave.

My soul be on thy guard
