Father, whate'er of earthly bliss

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: LHPN1913 #473 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, whate'er of earthly bliss Thy sovereign will denies, Accepted at Thy throne of grace, Let this petition rise: 2 Give me a calm, a thankful heart, From every murmur free; The blessings of Thy grace impart, And make me live to Thee. 3 Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine My life and death attend; Thy presence through my journey shine And bless its happy end.

Thee will I love, my strength, my tower

Author: J. Scheffler Hymnal: LHPN1913 #474 (1913) 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 the pure fire Fill my whole soul with chaste desire. 2 I thank Thee, uncreated Sun, That Thy bright beams on me have shined; I thank Thee, who hast overthrown My foes, and healed 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 scepter or Thy rod. What though my flesh and heart decay? Thee shall I love in endless day.

O Jesus, crucified for man

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: LHPN1913 #475 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, crucified for man, O Lamb, all glorious on Thy throne, Teach Thou our wondering souls to scan The mystery of Thy love unknown. 2 We pray Thee, grant us strength to take Our daily cross, whate’er it be, And gladly for Thine own dear sake In paths of pain to follow Thee. 3 As on our daily way we go, Through light or shade, in calm or strife, O may we bear Thy marks below In conquered sin and chastened life. 4 And week by week this day we ask That holy memories of Thy cross May sanctify each common task, And turn to gain each earthly loss. 5 Grant us, dear Lord, our cross to bear, Till at Thy feet we lay it down, Win through Thy blood our pardon there, And through the cross attain the crown.

Thou hidden love of God, whose height

Author: G. Tersteegen Hymnal: LHPN1913 #476 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Thou hidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathomed no man knows, I see from far Thy beauteous light, Inly I sigh for Thy repose: My heart is pained, nor can it be At rest, till it find rest in Thee. 2 Is there a thing beneath the sun That strives with Thee my heart to share? Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone, The Lord of every motion there. Then shall my heart from earth be free, When it has found repose in Thee. 3 O hide this self from me, that I No more, but Christ in me, may live! My base affections crucify, Nor let one favorite sin survive; In all things nothing may I see, Nothing desire, or seek, but Thee. 4 Each moment draw from earth away My heart that lowly waits Thy call! Speak to my inmost soul, and say I am thy love, thy God, thy all! To feel Thy power, to hear Thy voice, To taste Thy love, be all my choice!

O Jesus, our salvation

Author: J. Hamilton Hymnal: LHPN1913 #477 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, our salvation, Low at Thy cross we lie: Lord, in thy great compassion, Hear, our bewailing cry. We come to Thee with mourning, We come to Thee in woe; With contrite hearts returning, And tears that overflow. 2 O gracious Intercessor! O Priest within the veil, Please for each lost transgressor The blood that cannot fail. We spread our sins before Thee, We tell them one by one: O, for Thy name's great glory, Forgive all we have done. 3 O, by Thy cross and passion, Thy tears and agony, And crown of cruel fashion, And death on Calvary; By all that untold suffering, Endured by Thee alone; O Priest, O spotless Offering, Plead, for Thou didst atone! 4 And in these hearts now broken Re-enter Thou and reign, And say, by that dear token, We are absolved again. And build us up, and guide us, And guard us day by day; And in Thy presence hide us, And take our sins away.

Now have I found the ground wherein

Author: J. A. Rothe Hymnal: LHPN1913 #478 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain-- The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world’s foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, Thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far, Thy heart still melts with tenderness, Thy arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste and live. 3 O Love, Thou bottomless abyss, My sins are swallowed up in Thee! Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies Mercy, free, boundless mercy! cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Savior’s breast: Away, sad doubt and anxious fear! Mercy is all that’s written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o’er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies-- Father, Thy mercy never dies! 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away: Mercy’s full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.

Littledale Hymnal: LHPN1913 #479 (1913) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, by Thy passion, To Thee I make my prayer; Thou who in mercy smitest, Have mercy, Lord, and spare. 2 O wash me in the fountain That floweth from Thy side! O clothe me in the raiment Thy blood hath purified! 3 O hold Thou up my goings, And lead from strength to strength, That unto Thee in Zion I may appear at length! 4 O hearken to my knocking, And open wide the door, That I may enter freely And never leave Thee more! 5 O bring me, loving Jesus, To that most blessed place, Where angels and archangels Look ever on Thy face; 6 Where gladsome Hallelujahs Unceasingly resound; Where martyrs, now triumphant, Walk robed in white and crowned! 7 O make my spirit worthy To join that ransomed throng! O teach my lips to utter That everlasting song! 8 O give that last, best blessing, That even saints can know, To follow in Thy footsteps Wherever Thou dost go! 9 Not wisdom, might, or glory, I ask to win above; I ask for Thee, Thee only, O Thou eternal Love!

To Thee, O dear, dear Savior!

Author: John S.B. Monsell Hymnal: LHPN1913 #480 (1913) Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O dear, dear Savior! My spirit turns for rest, My peace is in Thy favor, My pillow on Thy breast; Though all the world deceive me, I know that I am Thine, And Thou wilt never leave me, O blessed Savior mine. 2 In Thee my trust abideth, On Thee my hope relies, O Thou whose love provideth For all beneath the skies; O Thou whose mercy found me, From bondage set me free, And then for ever bound me With threefold cords to Thee. 3 My grief is in the dullness With which this sluggish heart Doth open to the fulness Of all Thou wouldst impart; My joy is in Thy beauty Of holiness divine, My comfort in the duty That binds my life in Thine. 4 Alas, that I should ever Have failed in love to Thee, The only one who never Forgot or slighted me! O for a heart to love Thee More truly as I ought, And nothing place above Thee In deed, or word, or thought. 5 O for that choicest blessing Of living in Thy love, And thus on earth possessing The peace of heaven above; O for the bliss that by it The soul securely knows The holy calm and quiet Of faith's serene repose!

My all I to my God commend

Author: J. Leon Hymnal: LHPN1913 #481 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.4.8 Lyrics: 1 My all I to my God commend, Who all doth to His purpose bend; My life resigning to His will; Mine to lie still, Or his designs alone fulfill. 2 This earth is but a vale of tears, Where grief on every side appears; Sad hours of conflict, toil, and woe Here ebb and flow, Till we are summoned hence to go. 3 Today with joy our hearts beat high; Tomorrow in the grave we lie: Though as the rose we bloom today, We soon decay, And sorrow everywhere hath sway. 4 Lord, may we meditate aright How soon we all must fade from sight, How swiftly from the earth we fly, All born to die, Rich, poor, wise, simple, low and high. 5 Few are our days and sad below, Our daily bread is toil and woe: But God in His good time will send A peaceful end: Death from a foe is made a friend. 6 And though our sins against us rise, To heaven we lift our trusting eyes; For God is merciful, and gave, Our souls to save, His Son belovéd to the grace. 7 This thought in every pain and grief Brings comfort, sweet and full relief, That we shall rise when Christ appears, No more in tears, As now, in these our pilgrim years. 8 O Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who hast redeemed us with Thy blood, Thy precious wounds our refuge be: For rest we flee, O Lord, our only hope, to Thee.

O Jesus, blest is he

Author: A. T. Russell Hymnal: LHPN1913 #482 (1913) Meter: 6.5.6.5.11.6.6.5 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, blest is he Who Thine abideth: Thy light his steps in peace Securely guideth; On Thee our rock most high His hope endureth: Him of eternal rest, Him of eternal rest, Thy word assureth. 2 His care he casts on Thee, Nor evil feareth: Him on his heavenward way Thy presence cheereth. The world he leave for Thee; Thou art his treasure; The joys laid up in Thee, The joys laid up in Thee, No thought can measure. 3 What though on earth he mourn, His pain Thou healest; When all is dark and drear, Hope Thou revealest; Thou him in death wilt stay With consolation; Thou soon in bliss to be, Thou soon in bliss to be, His contemplation.
