O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

Author: George Matheson Hymnal: HOoS1926 #521 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in Thee; I give Thee back the life I owe, That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. 2 O Light that follow'st all my way, I yield my flick'ring torch to Thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in Thy sunshine’s glow its day May brighter, fairer be. 3 O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to Thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be. 4 O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to hide from Thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

Come unto Me, When Shadows Darkly Gather

Author: Catherine H. Esling Hymnal: HOoS1926 #523 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Come unto Me, when shadows darkly gather, When the sad heart is weary and distressed; Seeking for comfort from your heav'nly Father, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest. 2 Ye who have mourned when the tender flowers were taken, When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground, When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken, Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned, 3 Large are the mansions in thy Father’s dwelling, Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling, Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn. 4 There like an Eden blossoming in gladness, Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed: Come unto Me, all ye who droop in sadness, Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.

Author: Philip Paul Bliss Hymnal: HOoS1926 #525 (1926) Meter: 11.8.11.9 Lyrics: 1 When peace like a river attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul. 2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. 3 My sin, O the bliss of this glorious thought; My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to His cross and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul. 4 And, Lord, haste the day when our faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll, The trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend; Even so--it is well with my soul.
