In My Quiet Contemplation

Author: Johan Olof Wallin Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In my quiet contemplation I look up to Thee, O Lord. Guided by Thy revelation, Lighted by Thy living Word, Touched by Thy great love and passion, I draw near to Thy salvation. 2 In the quiet path of duty I my earthly span may fill, Pressing onward in the beauty Of performing but Thy will, Well content with all Thou sendest, If Thy grace to me Thou lendest. 3 Let me live in peace and stillness, Giving to no soul offense; Pain or pleasure, helth or illness Take I from Thy providence, Never wounding, ever healing, Thus a Christly life revealing. 4 Here my cross with patience bearing, I will go where Jesus leads, All enduring, all forbearing, For His sake who knows my needs. O how swift the fours of trail, Spent in Christian self-denial! 5 Keep me quietly expecting Thine appearance, Saviour dear; In my life, Thy life reflecting, Let Thy sacred love appear, Till on earth my last day closes, And my soul in Thee reposes. 6 Gracious Saviour, deign to number Me with saints in glory there, Calm and peaceful then my slumber After my last evening prayer; When from dust my spirit rises, All my tears shall change to praises. 7 Let my body then be hidden In a humble, nameless tomb; When at last I shall be bidden To forsake that narrow room, Jesus knows where they are sleeping Who were given in His keeping. Amen. Topics: Christian Conduct and Service; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Trinty, Fourth Sunday Used With Tune: STILLA JAG PÅ DIG VILL AKTA

Guardian of Pure Hearts, and Hearer

Author: Johan Olof Wallin Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Guardian of pure hearts, and Hearer, Lord, of ev'ry faithful prayer, In Thy courts one day is dearer Than a thousand days elsewhere. Worn with earth's unrest, how sweet In Thy temple fair to meet! There to sing away each sorrow That from life and toil we borrow! 2 With the righteous oft it fareth Here as if his deeds were ill; Blight fair virtue's flow'rs impaireth, Weeds of vice do flourish still; Joy and fortune haste away, Friends with friends--how short their stay! Rachel still her children mourneth, And her soul from comfort turneth. 3 But when here devoutly soareth High the temple-anthem sweet, Grief grows calm, no plaint outpoureth, Hearts with holy rapture beat: Free from earthly clouds, the soul Presses toward a higher goal, Takes from hope the comfort given, Speaks e'en now the tongue of heaven. 4 O my soul, on wings ascending, Thou on Salem's mount shalt rest; There where cherub-harps are blending With the singing of the blest; Let thy note of praise and prayer To thy God precede thee there, While e'en yet a careworn mortal, Still without Thy Father's portal. 5 Christians, while on earth abiding, Let us ever praise and pray, Firmly in our God confiding, As our fathers in their day; Be the children's voices raised To the God their fathers praised. Let Thy bounty, failing never, Be on us and all forever. 6 Bless us, Father, and protect us, Be our souls' sure hiding-place, Let Thy wisdom still direct us, Light our darkness with Thy grace! Let Thy countenance on us shine, Fill us all with peace divine. Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit, Praise Him all that life inherit. Amen.
