Rise, O My Soul, Pursue The Path

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, O my soul, pursue the path By ancient worthies trod; Aspiring, view those holy men Who lived and walked with God. 2 Tho' dead, they speak in reason’s ear, And in example live; Their faith, and hope and mighty deeds, Still fresh instruction give. 3 ’Twas thro' the Lamb’s most precious blood They conquered ev'ry foe; To His almighty pow'r and grace Their crowns of life they owe. 4 Lord, may I ever keep in view The patterns Thou hast giv'n, And ne’er forsake the blessed road That led them safe to heav'n. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Consecration Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

Dear Refuge Of My Weary Soul

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 363 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear refuge of my weary soul, On Thee, when sorrows rise, On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 While hope revives, though pressed with fear And I can say My God, Beneath Thy feet I spread my cares, And pour my woes abroad. 3 To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone canst heal; Thy Word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel. 4 But oh! when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call Thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. 5 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust, And still my soul would cleave to Thee, Though prostrate in the dust. 6 Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face? And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace Be deaf when I complain? 7 No, still the ear of sovereign grace Attends the mourner’s prayer; O may I ever find a place To breathe my sorrows there. 8 Thy mercy seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend Thy will, And wait beneath Thy feet.

Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By wars without, and fears within, I come to thee for rest. 4. Be thou my shield and hiding place, That, sheltered near thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him, Thou hast died. 5. O wondrous love! to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners, such as I, Might plead thy gracious name! 6.
