- How soon they fade and die!
15
- From doubting, fear and sin—
- This rest is free for you and me—
- My rest is deep and strong,
- Abiding, true and clean—
16
- Heal the sick and lame,
- Sinner, come, and at His footstool
- Go, and sin no more,”
- He who wept and prayed in anguish
17
- In love and mercy reign
- And make me clean.
18
- For my Lord says “Come” and I seek my home,
19
- Time and talents He bestows;
- Days and years pass swiftly by.
- God’s own Son, so pure and holy,
20
- Oh, what pain and sorrow
- Died for you and me.
- Faint and forsaken,
- Bowed His head and died.
- He, our hope and surety,
21
- If we but knew the sorrow and the loss,
- The strength and mercy of the outstretched hand,
- Before whom angels bow and nations fall,
22
- He was smitten of God and afﬂicted
- The Judge of the quick and the dead?
- When earth and its pleasures have ﬂed?
23
- And on His shoulders brought me
- The brightest and the best,
24
- And pressing through the past
- Of failure, fault and fear,
- And dare to leave it there.
- And as I am appear:
- For life and liberty.
- Thy wisdom and Thy pow’r,
- And while from them to Thee I turn,
25
- And though all the world forsake Thee,
- All to leave and follow Thee,
- All I’ve sought and hoped and known;
- All I’ve sought and hoped and known;
- God and heav’n are still mine own.
- Let the world despise and leave me;
- Human hearts and looks deceive me;
- Man may trouble and distress me;
26
- And quickened from the dead.
- In weariness and woe,
- And Thou hast brought to me,
- Salvation full and free,
- Thy pardon and Thy love.
- And joy with suff’ring blent.
- My Saviour and my King.
27
- His name and nature, love.
- And sorrow ﬁlled my heart:
- My portion and my part.
28
- And conquered in the strife:
- As strangers and as pilgrims,
- A great and noble throng,
- With tears and pain and blood,
- With tears and pain and blood,
- With loins girt up and ready,
- With purpose ﬁrm and strong,
29
- ’Tis better than thousands of silver and gold,
- And hear when He speaketh to me.
- God’s word is so pure and so precious to me;
- Its precepts I love and adore—
- A lamp to my feet and a light to my path,
- How peaceful and pleasant the ways of the Lord,
- The word that He speaketh is spirit and life,
- Refreshing and sweet to my soul.
- I hear and obey, and my soul is set free
- To follow my Saviour and King;
- Thy law is my joy and delight;
- To ponder therein day and night.
30
- And our song with heaven’s gladness rings:
- Ye who trace with weary hearts and sad
- Oh, rejoice and be forever glad!
- “We have found Him— come and see!”
- And He comes in lowliness to thee,
- Shall in light and peace abound.
31
- Come, and He will give you rest.
- Come and drink the living waters;
- Vict’ry over self and sin.
- And the call you must obey.
- In His tender love and mercy,
- From His light and love and presence,
- From His light and love and presence,
32
- Which leads to God and endless day;
- Pilgrims and strangers here we roam:
- We’re trav’ling on to God and home.
- We hear His voice and bless the hand
- We know the end is fair and sweet,
- Our God is merciful and kind:
- He found us lost in sin and blind,
- And gently led us to the light;
- Our song shall praise Him day and night.
- He will protect us and defend
- And keep us faithful to the end.
33
- Dauntless was He, true and brave;
- Give, and to you shall be given—
34
- Save us from things seen and temp’ral;
- Thou, our source of life and bliss.
- May we spend them one and all
35
- Him as Lord by lip and life confessed—
- And by moral actions hope God’s home to gain;
- Fear not to confess His name and serve Him now;
36
- Of this vain world with all its sin and strife.”
- And unto you He says, “I am the Way.”
- And give you pow’r to be a child of God.
- Oh, follow Him, and He will lead you on;
- And, turning late, you ﬁnd that He is gone.
37
- For this full and free salvation,
- Pray for pardon and salvation,
- And it shall be as thou wilt;
- You shall live and shall not die.”
38
- Then weep and wail beyond the grave?”
- And bid thee shun the narrow way,
39
- His love and promises endure.
- And that He planned the same for me,
- And walking Jesus’ lowly way.
- The world looks on and does despise
- And those who eat thereof shall live;
40
- Respond and harden not your heart;
- And leave you, never to return.
- And still you undecided stand;
- While angels bow their heads and weep,
41
- Rest and liberty.
- Tossing to and fro,
- And thy life, as days are passing,
- Many souls are bruised and broken,
- And of endless woe.
42
- Lord, hear my prayer, and lead me in
- A way of peace and holiness,
- Of purity and love.
- A way of truth and grace—
- And they who share His suff’ring now
43
- In every age and clime.
- His feet were bruised and torn—
- “Come, follow me, and do not fear,”
- Is calling you and me.
44
- Love and prayer and faith’s clear vision
- And the eye of faith grow dim.
- Walk in fellowship and prayer.
45
- Poor I was and sought for riches,
- Bread of life, so rich and free;
46
- I fear the snares and pitfalls in life’s way;
- I am so weak and prone to go astray;
- And keep me pure;
- ’Twould be well spent and joy to me afford.
- And drank the gall.
47
- And you need a friend to help you,
- When his heart is burdened down with pain and woe?
- And whose blood can wash and make us white as snow?
- And whose blood can wash and make us white as snow?
- Who will light the way before us and dispel all doubt and fear,
- Who will light the way before us and dispel all doubt and fear,
- And will bear our spirits safely o’er the tide?
48
- Under the burdens of guilt and care,
- Open your heart and, rejoicing, share
- Love Him, and serve Him forever.
49
- Could my yearning heart ﬁnd rest and comfort
- Had I wealth and love in fullest measure
- And a name revered both far and near,
- And a name revered both far and near,
- Who endured the cross and died for me,
- Mid the sins and sorrows here below;
- And eternity— how dark without Him—
- Only night and tears and endless woe!
- Only night and tears and endless woe!
- And without Him all eternity!
- For my needs and more He will provide!
50
- How I’d wrestled, prayed and striven!
- Sin and Satan’s host defying,
- On His strength and grace relying,
- I am His, and His forever!
51
- And honour that’s due.
- Of righteousness, peace and true joy from on high;
- Where He can His life and true blessing impart:
52
- His grace and love thy soul is needing;
- E’en though thy path be dark and lone;
- How near and dear He then will be!
53
- His grace, how rich and free,
54
- Come and gather round His feet?
- And the heart of the Eternal
55
- Thus His kingdom and His pow’r
- Rule and reign of Christ within
- Peace and joys that never die.
- Jesus— hail Him King and Lord!
57
- Make me and help me daily to yield,
- Only and ever, Jesus my shield.
- Teach me submission, and here below
- And when in glory, in sweet accord,
58
- Mould me and make me
- Yielded and still.
- Search me and try me,
- Wounded and weary,
- Touch me and heal me,
59
- Come unto me and I will give you life,
- Come unto me and I will give you rest.”
- Thy doubts shall vanish and thy sorrows cease:
- “Come unto me and I will give you peace.”
- O dying man, with guilt and sin dismayed,
- ’Twixt hopes and fears, oh, end the anxious strife:
- “Come unto me and I will give you life.”
- Life, rest and peace, the ﬂow’rs of deathless bloom,
- But here and now, on earth, some glimpse is giv’n
60
- When doubts and fears arise,
- Shine through the cloud and rain,
- Through sorrow, toil and pain;
61
- And with zeal it doth inspire;
- And with zeal it doth inspire.
- Taking time to wait and listen,
- And to hear what He would say;
- And with heart and mind renewed,
- And with heart and mind renewed,
- Standing true and loyal to Jesus,
- Standing true and loyal to Jesus,
- And to humbly seek His face:
- And renew us by His grace;
- And His still, small voice we’ll hear.
62
- Sweet words of Jesus, eternal and true—
- Sow, then, O sower, in patience and love;
- I, so unworthy, so weak and deﬁled;
63
- I’d cherish and obey it,
- They offer peace and guidance,
64
- To grow like Him in word and deed.
65
- Seed of life and seed of love.
- Quickly to be robbed and taken—
- That it there may grow and ﬂourish,
66
- He will forgive thy past and set thee free
- From every doubt and fear.
- “Take up thy cross and follow me;
- This world is hard and cold,
- This world is hard and cold.”
67
- Come in spite of fear and doubt.
- He who knows your sin and sorrow
- Look and see the hand of Jesus
- And your life, so dearly purchased,
- Still He calls, and yet you linger;
68
- When the heart, torn and bleeding,
- All your burdens and heartaches,
- All your sorrow and care,
- As a friend and a brother
- And a refuge for you.
- Waits and longs to enfold you
69
- Amidst a world of doubt and strife,
- For Thou, dear Lord, and Thou alone
70
- Light and truth and love shall reign.
- Light and truth and love shall reign.
- Lord of lords and Prince of Peace;
71
- To His strait and narrow way,
72
- And error grows in bypath ways;
- But hearts are ﬁlled with joy and praise,
- I’ll plead His name and precious blood;
- The pure and spotless Son of God
- And sinners’ friend is Jesus.
73
- Come to earth to bleed and die;
- Come with me to live and labour
- Facing death and cruel mocking—
74
- Come and trust Him now!
- Rise and haste away!
75
- Thy friendship let me value more and more.
- Who hath joy and satisfaction brought,
- One who doth my soul and spirit feed,
- And who turns my tempter’s wiles to naught.
- Now my heart He maketh pure and clean.
- Mine today and mine eternally.
76
- Freedom from bondage, turmoil and strife;
77
- And joyfully I now obey.
- He waits with words of hope and cheer,
- Though pow’rs of earth and hell oppose,
78
- Over every vale and hill,
- All that’s good and best for me.
79
- And to plant our feet therein!
- Art thou lost and tired of straying?
- Come and follow, without doubting;
80
- Every dark and dreary valley
- And your failing strength renew.
- Though the strife be ﬁerce and long;
81
- Chart and compass in the night.
82
- I know how heart and ﬂesh may fail—
- Do thou, my child, o’er hill and dale,
- And trust me through all coming years!
- Thy God and Guide o’er land and sea,
- Thy God and Guide o’er land and sea,
83
- And you need Him, oh! so much.
- In this world of woe and sighing,
- Sick of sin and faint from crying,
- Longing to be healed and blest.
85
- And His footsteps follow still.
- And His arm around me thrown.
- Through the tempest and the sunshine,
- Through the battle and the strife.
- And His eye the way must guide,
86
- Weary and sighing for rest?
87
- And sweetly answer yes.”
- And giv’n Him right of way,
- And henceforth it is always yes,
- With willing heart and hands.
- And learn His will each day,
- And always gladly answer yes,
- And though clouds hang o’er my pathway,
- And while I live I’ll answer yes,
88
- “Lie still, and let Him mould thee,”
- And I the yielding clay.
- Then soften me, and mould me,
- And for Thy will prepare.
- Thy love and skill are such;
89
- “Gratefully trust me, and give me thy heart.”
- Calling in mercy again and again,
- “Turn now from sin, and from evil depart:
- Make full surrender, and give me thy heart.”
90
- Trusting in His love and might.
91
- He died to save and ransom me.
- His love and purpose now I see,
- And tread the suff’ring path He trod,
- And peace with God, and peace with God.
- And peace with God, and peace with God.
- To guide and keep me day by day;
92
- Seek to keep resigned and humble
- Serving Him with joy and gladness,
- One in heart and mind and spirit,
- One in heart and mind and spirit,
- He will mould and make you perfect,
- Silence all your thoughts and reas’nings
- And the Lord can see the image
93
- And as vapour it’s passing away.
- And in losing a hundredfold gain;
- And to die, thus God’s best to obtain.
- Only one life, and white is the ﬁeld—
- And the little I can I will do.
- Yet the world and the ﬂesh often call.
94
- Come and ﬁnd abiding rest;
- Take His yoke and learn in meekness
- Jesus waits, the meek and lowly,
- Full of mercy, truth and grace;
95
- And still my soul in slumber lie?
- God calling yet! And shall He knock,
- And I my heart the closer lock?
- And shall I dare go on in sin?
- God calling yet! And shall I give
96
- And humbly follow after me.”
- And brace thy heart and nerve thine arm.
- And brace thy heart and nerve thine arm.
- To save thy soul from death and hell.
- And calmly every danger brave;
- And lead to vict’ry o’er the grave.
97
- Lone and weary, silent He suffered:
98
- Pause and ponder where thou goest:
- Midst its toils and tears;
- Through our doubts and fears.
- While we look on mirth and beauty,
99
- Riches and pleasures to gain?
- Withers and passes away:
100
- “Come, and welcome, come, and welcome;
- “Come, and welcome, come, and welcome;
101
- Only one life, and oh, how soon ’tis over!
- In careless ease, and seeking selfish pleasures,
- But what shall be the end for you and me?
- To God and home and rest and endless day.
- To God and home and rest and endless day.
- To God and home and rest and endless day.
102
- And your cry be just too late—
- And the fatal line be passed:
- Youth and beauty pass away,
- Death and judgment drawing nigh;
- And your soul forever lost:
- Come and start for heav’n tonight:
103
- Rich and clothed, with eyes anointed,
- Days and years glide swiftly by;
- Oh, arise, be up and doing,
- Moth and rust cannot decay.
- Learn of Him, the meek and lowly,
104
- Though we secure and safe may seem,
- Oft fall the strong and bold.
- And slumber without fear,
- And deaf to all we hear?
- And soon the end will come.
105
- Bled and died for you and me.
- Bled and died for you and me.
106
- Waiting for me and for you.
- And silently pass from our view,
- For His counsel so loving and true.
- Countless millions have lingered and died,
- And too lowly His way for their pride.
107
- He came with joy and gladness
- My heart was sad and weary—
- And wandered on in darkness,
- And all was dark as night;
- I longed for peace and light.
- I found them void and vain;
- Left but remorse and sadness
- And sorrow in my heart.
- And bore in my own body
108
- There’s peace and contentment in serving the Lord.
- In Jesus there’s safety now and evermore.
- To spend and be spent here, whatever befall,
109
- There’s love and life and lasting joy,
- There’s love and life and lasting joy,
- And found in Thee alone,
- I sighed for rest and happiness;
- And still my thirst prevailed!
110
- And ’twas for thee I came to die:
- From home and light of day.
- And wondered, “Can it be,
- Poor and a captive, there is yet
- Pardon and hope for me?”
- And through a mist of tears
111
- And He will make you whole.
- And He will make you whole.
- Who bids you fear and doubt;
- Come now and trust in Jesus—
- Will ﬁll your heart and life;
- His joy and consolation
- Will banish sin and strife.
- His voice so sweet and tender,
- So full of love and grace,
- Entreats you, “Come, and welcome
- And ﬁnd a hiding place.”
- And you are lost at last.
112
- “Come unto me and rest;
- So weary, worn and sad;
- And He has made me glad.
- Stoop down and drink and live.”
- Stoop down and drink and live.”
- I came to Jesus, and I drank
- And now I live in Him.
- And all thy day be bright.”
- I looked to Jesus, and I found
- And in that Light of Life I’ll walk
113
- Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling—
- Calling for you and for me.
- See, on the portals He’s waiting and watching,
- Watching for you and for me.
- Pleading for you and for me?
- Why should we linger and heed not His mercies,
- Mercies for you and for me?
- Passing from you and from me.
- Coming for you and for me.
- Promised for you and for me.
- Though we have sinned, He has mercy and pardon,
- Pardon for you and for me.
114
- Wearied and oppressed:
- I fain would rise and go
- And His forgiveness know.
- And add to sorrow’s heavy load,
- To comfort, save and guide,
- And pastures ever fresh and green
- In tender tones and sweet,
115
- In the world so dark and cold;
- On the mountain bleak and dreary,
- And to bring them safely home.
- And the lambs fold to my breast,
- And the feet that are so weary
- “They shall hear my voice and follow
- And at noonday I will guide them
- Though I lead through vale and shadow,
- And they’ll know that I am near.”
116
- Why perish with hunger and cold?
- There’s bread and to spare, and no famine is there;
- There’s bread and to spare, and no famine is there;
117
- To my sin and shame and need!
- To my sin and shame and need!
- Dark and dreary all around me—
- I will go and seek my Father,
- Loved me in my sin and shame.
118
- To ask Him the way of salvation and light;
- The Master made answer in words true and plain,
- And let not this message to you be in vain:
- And sing with the ransomed the song of the blest,
119
- And purify your conscience
- And ﬁnd in Him your rest,
- And bid the conﬂict cease.
- And be your strength and stay.
- And be your strength and stay.
- To cheer you and to bless you
- And guide you to the end.
- In spite of fear and doubt?
- And will not cast you out.
- And His salvation now.
120
- While your mind is calm and quiet,
- And in patience waits your choice
- And His rest unto your soul.
- To His meek and lowly Son,
- And be numbered with the lost.
- And His sheep will heed His voice.
121
- And save you from hopeless despair.
- Its waters lie sullen and cold.
- Then, oh, turn while you may, and give ear to His voice!
- To His comfort and rest, then, oh, hasten away!
122
- And walk in His way.
- And God gives you light,
- And come, come tonight.
123
- And are mingled with much pain;
124
- Come quickly and abide,
- And Thy rich promises
125
- All of its pleasures, pomp and its pride;
- Till all its struggles and trials are past;
126
- Shame and dishonour wait those who stray
- Hasten to Jesus, your Saviour and Friend,
- Hasten to Jesus, your Saviour and Friend.
127
- Yield your heart and life to Jesus—
- Trust Him and obey.
- He for you has lived and suffered,
128
- We are building in sorrow and building in joy,
- For the love that we show and the kindness we bestow,
- Then be watchful and wise, let the temple we rear
- For the Master has said, and He taught us in His word,
129
- And follow Him, though the world may sneer;
130
- When time and seasons are no more.
- And everything that tempteth me,
- With death and darkness surging wild.
- And though I do not grasp it now,
131
- More than earth’s vain show and pomp;
- Yearns my soul to rise and follow—
- Chasing all my doubt and fear.
132
- And I would not dare to journey
- Rough and toilsome though it be;
- And although despised, forsaken,
- And the scornful judgment hall,
- And if Thou wilt guide me ever,
- Though the earth may rock and tremble,
- Though my foes be strong and ruthless,
- And whate’er the pain and peril,
- And whate’er the pain and peril,
133
- His love and life will possess you.
- Sometimes you sit and ponder
- Pleasure and gain enthrall you;
- God loves and longs to save you;
- With pardon, peace and power,
134
- To redeem and set you free;
- Oh, receive Him now, and you shall rejoice
- In His light and liberty.
- He will give you life and a living hope
- From the guilt and pow’r of sin.
- And the joys of heav’n partake.
135
- And returneth nevermore.
- Come and ﬁnd in Him a refuge;
- Hasten now and enter in.
136
- Come and make Him now your friend;
- And, outside the door of mercy,
137
- On a wild and stormy sea!
- Lonely and dark the way,
- And you hear His word “Depart.”
138
- How will it fare with thee and me,
- How will it fare, friend, with thee and me—
139
- As He knocks and asks admission,
- Room and time now give to Jesus!
- Soon your heart be cold and silent,
- And your Saviour’s pleading cease.
140
- And learn His will to do;
- Leave the world behind, and you will ﬁnd
- In spirit and in truth.
- For you He bled and died.
141
- And the heart of God is yearning,
142
- Come and evermore rejoice,
- And you weep and wail at last,
- And you weep and wail at last,
- And then awake, too late to count the cost?—
- Come in His own accepted time and way;
143
- In the darkness and gloom,
- They are lost mid the din and the strife.
- And no longer despise;
- You will then weep and wail,
144
- Nothing but sorrow and remorse of heart.
145
- Let Thy life and love and grace
- From all iniquity and sin
- And comfort of the fold.
- O Shepherd, kind and true,
- I need Thy love and life
- To quicken and preserve my soul
- Amid earth’s toil and strife.
- His life is mine, and I am safe,
146
- Oh, the height and depth of mercy!
- Oh, the length and breadth of love!
147
- In accents low and sweet:
- And rest your weary feet;
- My peace and sweet forgiveness
- And I will gently lead you
- In awful guilt and fear.
- Your days and years are passing,
- And lost outside the fold?
148
- Jesus wants to lead you on to heav’n and home;
- He will walk beside you and your spirit cheer.
- All His tender mercy and His love abuse?
- Then you turned against Him and your birthright sold.
149
- Forgiving transgression and sin;
- To pardon and welcome you in.
- There’s no one so faithful and true;
- Eternal salvation and glory,
- And risk not a moment’s delay;
- Illusive and passing away.
- His mercy and love do not spurn.
- And rest for the weary of heart;
- And let your Redeemer depart?
150
- Of your heart and soul.
- Wand’rer, stop and hearken!
- Rest and peace He offers
- Rocks and shoals lie hidden
151
- In accents soft and clear;
- Then with that great and countless band,
152
- Oh, be in earnest! Pause and consider,
- Pause and consider while He is so near.
- Great is His mercy, His patience and love;
- Oh, turn from the darkness, and walk in the light.
153
- “Come unto me and rest;
154
- Will you come and walk with God
- It will lead you on to home and endless day.
- Come and enter and abide:
- Come and enter and abide:
- You will prove a Father’s love and tender care.
- And the riches of His glory you shall share.
- Hasten now and enter in:
- And your soul with joy and gladness shall rejoice.
- And your soul with joy and gladness shall rejoice.
155
- And shut the open door.
- Incline your ear and come;
- Now and eternally.
- His rest and peace will stay;
- And never pass away.
156
- He’s waiting in mercy for you and for me.
- He longs to enfold you and crown you with blessings;
- Come while He’s pleading, and taste of His goodness:
- The Shepherd will guide you, will help and protect you;
- Oh, enter with Jesus, and be of the fold!
- Oh, come and take refuge while yet there is time!
157
- Then He’ll come and dwell within you
- And will cleanse you from your sin.
- And receive His words so true;
- And refuse His words so true,
- And hear His “Well done” at last.
158
- And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
159
- Death’s angel soon will come and say,
160
- And come to the Saviour now pleading with thee.
- To die out of Christ, and thy soul to be lost?
161
- Lord, now take me and make me Thine own;
- Thy love has conquered, and now I arise:
- Must as a child come and enter therein.
- Gladly I spurn the world and its pride,
- Pleasure and treasure, its glory beside—
162
- Low and sweet a voice is calling,
- ’Tis the Saviour, meek and lowly—
- Pleasures sought have failed and vanished;
- To the yielded heart and life,
- Mid the world’s unrest and strife.
- Oh, be earnest, rise and follow—
163
- Riches and earthly fame,
- Bid sin and fear depart;
164
- Take now this step, while God and heav’n are near.
165
- Great and free.
- For Thy grace and tender mercy,
- Every day and hour supplying
- And for all.
166
- The call comes low and sweet;
- And tenderly He bids you
- O soul, so sad and weary,
- The call comes low and clear;
- And joy through eternity:
- His life so pure and holy,
167
- Look at my hands and see
- Come and rejoice!”
168
- And love untold.
169
- All rough and thorny though the path may be,
- And desert stretches now may lie before me;
- And where Thou lodgest, I will lodge with Thee;
- Though joy and sorrow now may be my portion,
170
- When other helpers fail and comforts ﬂee,
- Change and decay in all around I see;
- Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
- Through cloud and sunshine, oh! abide with me!
- Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness;
171
- And let my steps be all controlled by Thee.
- Thy message written clear and plain for me;
- And I shall ﬁnd my peace, my All in all!
172
- Help us, O Lord, to speak and pray,
- With prayerful heart and mind.
- Cleanse us from sinful thought and deed,
- An off’ring pure and sweet:
173
- May Thy light and truth still lead us;
- Guide us by Thy staff and rod.
- So Immanuel lived and suffered
- And for this was cruciﬁed.
- God is here and seeking lab’rers
- God is here and will not fail us,
- He will come to cheer and strengthen
- As we love His truth and way.
- And we know not where to go;
174
- Bringing life and liberty.
- One in heart, in mind and spirit,
- Cleanse us, Lord, and teach us ever
175
- “Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile,
- Weary, I know it, of the press and throng;
- Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil,
- And in My quiet strength again be strong.”
- Alone with Me and with My Father here—
- With Me and with My Father, not alone.”
- “Come, tell Me all that ye have said and done,
- Your victories and failures, hopes and fears;
- Your victories and failures, hopes and fears;
- I know how hardly souls are wooed and won;
- And work till daylight softens into ev’n;
- More of your Master and His rest in heav’n.
176
- As they of old, Thy voice so plain and clear;
- Oft have we failed to wait and seek Thy face;
- The ﬁelds are white and honest hearts are waiting—
177
- And bless us now.
- And lead us by the hand
- Now cleanse and heal;
- Accept our lives, and give
- Humble and meek;
- Childlike, resigned and still,
178
- Humbly and with fear,
179
- And the body kill.
180
- Forgive and cleanse, like other times,
- And, as the early rain
- Made conscious of shortcomings and
- And, interceding on our part,
- And envy drive away.
- And ﬁtly join the ﬁrst with last,
- And set each other free;
181
- Where there’s hope and warmth and cheer,
- Where there’s hope and warmth and cheer,
- And we’re ﬁlled with wholesome fear,
- Many times we’ve feared and faltered
- And have wept and prayed to overcome our fear;
- And have wept and prayed to overcome our fear;
- And at times it seemed so hopeless
- May our hearts be soft and tender
- And our lives show forth Thy praises
- To deny ourselves and all Thy will obey.
- Sealed and guided by Thy hand,
- Will show forth Thy life and glorify Thy name.
182
- A weak and helpless ﬂock,
- A meek and lowly man,
- And saidst to Thy disciples,
- And lose our lives down here;
- And wearily doth sigh;
- And we ourselves do long, Lord,
183
- And tell our need.
- And bring to light our sin;
184
- Here we come and seek to pray;
- Past and future Thou dost see.
- Touch our hearts and make us plead.
185
- Let us draw near and pray.
- And we may enter in.
- Our Father and our Friend;
- Let prayer and praise ascend.
186
- Then brother, sister, plead and pray;
- Whose prayers ascend both day and night;
- And out of weakness make them strong,
- And put their enemies to ﬂight.
- And forth to death their captives lead;
- And these may perish if we cease
- To watch and pray and intercede.
- To watch and pray and intercede.
- And God looks down with pitying eye
- On harvest great and lab’rers few,
- With perfect hearts, sincere and true,
187
- And seek His love to share.
- And read a portion there,
- And sweeten all thy care.
- And offer grateful praise.
- And plead His righteousness.
188
- He is meek and lowly:
- Thine the pow’r and glory,
- How to fall and die;
189
- Mark well her towers and bulwarks,
- Our rock and fortress is He.
- Christ is her light and her temple,
190
- How to watch and pray;
- Fierce and strong the pow’rs of darkness—
- Be our strength and stay.
- Lord, preserve and shield Thy people—
- Prayers from needy hearts and contrite
191
- Watch and pray every day,
- Watch and pray every day,
- We have need to watch and pray.
- And we walk the narrow pathway:
- We should always watch and pray.
- And though farther on we go
- And our God we learn to know,
- If we do not watch and pray.
- And our path is bright as day,
- That we need to watch and pray.
- If we only watch and pray.
- If we only watch and pray.
192
- He will comfort and protect.
- And the sun withdraws its light,
- In the still and solemn night.
- Sure and steady in the race.
193
- Wept and prayed for grace and pow’r;
- Wept and prayed for grace and pow’r;
- And our Father, too, will send us
194
- Fill us with Thy love and zeal;
- As in Thee we move and live.
- With Thy pure and changeless love.
196
- And lift to Thee again my song.
197
- I long to know Thy will and Thy way;
- Here mid earth’s sin and sorrow and care,
- Here mid earth’s sin and sorrow and care,
- Men lost and dying, souls in despair,
- Thou art my surety, now and for aye;
- Living in Thee, Lord, and Thou in me,
- Grant me the power, boundless and free,
- Power with men and power with Thee.
198
- To sit and learn at His dear feet
- And see more clearly how to prize
- He calms the fears and stills the cries
- To feel His touch and hear His voice
199
- And feel my need to watch and pray.
- And feel my need to watch and pray.
- Thou art my shield and hiding place,
- Thy tender love and mercy, Lord,
- They ﬂood and ﬁll my inmost soul
- And claim and make me wholly Thine.
- And claim and make me wholly Thine.
- And nestle closer to Thy side;
- The soul’s redeemer, friend and guide.
- Though heav’n and earth may pass away,
200
- One whom Thou canst seal and own.
- In Thy light and liberty.
- Make me more and more like Jesus
- Thou canst sympathize and care.
- And impart the needed grace
201
- I would seek Thy smile and favour;
- Often heart and ﬂesh would fail me;
- Strength and life it doth afford.
- Boundless is His love and mercy,
- For His home and habitation;
- Still refuse and say Him nay?
202
- And touch our hearts that we may pray;
- And pow’r to keep us in the Way.
- And help us now to intercede
- That they may see and feel their need.
- Possess our hearts and ﬁll our minds
- With light and wisdom from on high,
- And vile affections crucify.
- And there is none on earth beside—
- So tender, patient, kind and true,
- A loyal, faithful friend and guide.
203
- The cross and suff’ring never shun,
- But prove our love and loyalty.
- With stable hearts, contrite and free,
204
- True rest and peace of heart and mind.
- True rest and peace of heart and mind.
- I need Thy wisdom and Thy grace
- And bear the burden of the Lord,
- I need Thy meek and gentle Christ
- And cleansing by Thy precious blood,
- I shall not want: He knows and gives
205
- Enemies and foes surround me—
- And I need Thee all the way.
- Weak and wav’ring though I be;
- In Thy righteousness and grace.
206
- And keep me bound in sin and misery.
- And keep me bound in sin and misery.
- How hard and cold is my poor heart without Thee;
- I need Thy love and mercy every hour.
- I would excel in every grace and virtue;
- Cleanse and possess this yielded heart of mine.
- Subdue each thought and quell each stormy passion
207
- With the Christ who lived and suffered,
208
- And His that gentle voice we hear,
- And speaks of heav’n.
- And every virtue we possess,
- And every conquest won,
- And every thought of holiness
- Spirit of purity and grace,
- And worthier Thee.
210
- And prompting my heart to pray.
- Arise, my soul, and answer
- And I in temptation fall.
- Then, reconciled and broken,
- Be still, my soul, and, trusting
211
- And oh! how precious to my heart,
- And binds us nevermore to part!
- With rev’rence and with godly fear,
212
- And for our sins He came to die.
- And satisfy His just demands,
- And righteousness fulﬁl.
- And then sat down at God’s right hand.
- And love the mysteries of grace,
- And oh! what joy and endless bliss,
- And oh! what joy and endless bliss,
213
- And seek His all-sufﬁcient grace
- A wise and understanding heart,
214
- Then a sad and Christless heart
- Then a lost and dying sheep
- His strong arm, and His alone,
215
- And let it be like Thine, O Lord,
- In every deed and every word.
- And may Thy Spirit its temple ﬁll
- And teach me to obey Thy will.
- And show the tenderness of Christ on Calvary.
- Let tears of sorrow come and all my ways reﬁne;
- And stoops to help a friend in need.
- And lend a helping hand if he be friend or foe.
- And have a tender heart, where’er I go.
216
- And from all sin depart.
- To do Thy will and Thine alone;
- And share my Master’s shame.
217
- Arrayed in righteousness and grace,
- And stand before Him without blame.
218
- And our Master’s praise.
- Jesus hath come and dwelleth
- But as we love and trust Him,
- He who hath loved and given,
219
- Love Thee more, more and more.
- Source of life and love divine,
- Love Thee more and more.
- All my pow’rs and will,
- All Thy sorrow, grief and shame
- Loving more and more.
220
- Sought peace and rest;
221
- Is dark and fails to see
- We may be glad and leap for joy—
- To see His face and have His smile
222
- Producing hope and conﬁdence
- Love, joy and peace shall then be seen,
- And spread their fragrance all around;
- Shall grow and in my soul abound.
- And goodness, too, shall blossom then;
- The fruits of faith and godliness
- Meekness and temp’rance shall appear,
- The sign and seal that grace divine,
- The love of truth and holiness
223
- Lord, I would take Thy yoke and learn of Thee,
- And here before Thy lowly manger bow:
- Lord, I would take Thy yoke and learn of Thee,
- Lord, I would take Thy yoke and learn of Thee,
- When shadows lengthen and life’s sorrows come:
- Lord, I would take Thy yoke and learn of Thee,
- When man is cruel and the world untrue:
224
- My Master and my Friend.
- Around me and within;
- And shield my soul from sin.
- In accents clear and still,
- Oh, speak, and make me listen,
- And, Jesus, I have promised
- My Master and my Friend.
225
- Thine erring children lost and lone.
- The wand’ring and the wav’ring feet;
- And wing my words that they may reach
- Just as Thou wilt and how and where,
- Just as Thou wilt and how and where,
226
- From hardness and unyieldingness,
- And from all wrong to ﬂee,
- And turn their hearts from Thee.
- From pride and malice keep me clean,
- And every form of leav’n.
- In all I say and do.
- A wise and faithful steward prove,
- And gain Thy rich reward.
227
- I look to Thee, my Lord and God;
- I ﬁnd in Thee my hope and rest;
- And ﬁx my purpose ﬁrm and true;
- And ﬁx my purpose ﬁrm and true;
- Controlled and guided by Thy voice.
228
- Lovely and hallowed and sweet,
- Lovely and hallowed and sweet,
- Though by the mist and the shadow
229
- Above earth’s noise and tumult,
- This voice so sweet and touching,
- “Serve me with zeal and gladness;
- Cease not to watch and pray.”
231
- Fill them with joy and gladness;
- Teach them to watch and pray.
232
- And His faithfulness so great;
- Both in judgment and in mercy,
- And provides the strength to suffer
- And He keeps them from the evil
- Where there’s peace and love abounding
233
- My Lord and I shall never part;
- Adore His wondrous works and ways;
- His life within, His love and peace,
- To fall and worship at His feet.
234
- And all Thy ways adore;
- And every day I live I seem
- To love Thee more and more.
- When obstacles and trials seem
- And leave the rest to Thee.
235
- That wise and prudent have not known.
- And Christ be magniﬁed in me.
236
- Midst ﬁery trials and when tempted sore,
- While waiting there I’m cleansed from sin and fear,
- My strength renewed, the way made plain and clear.
- So much that would deﬁle and hinder me,
- Unto the Lord, and have His grace in store,
- That in all things I may keep pure and clean,
- Might through his tears and sorrows see in me
- What he could share through grace so rich and free.
237
- And thankful is my heart
- To help me conquer self and sin
- And all that’s not like Thee within,
- With heart and purpose free,
- A freedom from all woe and strife,
238
- And aid my tongue to bless His name,
- And without praises die.
- And makes thee young again.
- And justice for the oppressed.
- And lighter than our guilt.
239
- And our living hope in Thee.
- Bind us closer, Lord, and closer:
- And our love to one another
- In this world of doubt and darkness,
- And our lives reﬂect a measure
- And to journey on together,
240
- And ﬁrst we knew what depth of need
- And we alone with Him.
- When in the glory and the rest
- Our conﬂict and our sin,
- And now in perfect peace we go
241
- Though now cast out and suff’ring,
- He’s God’s own plan and pattern,
- The new and living way;
- And came to dwell within,
- And entered in by Jesus,
- His hand, ’tis strong and true;
242
- His love ﬁlls my heart with a hope strong and sure,
- And gives me a longing to keep my heart pure.
- He calms every tempest and bids us rejoice.
- As naked and wounded we groped for the light.
- And into our souls came His gentle caress.
- And legions of darkness against Him were hurled,
- He knew that His blood was the price and not gold,
- And offered His life for the lambs of His fold.
243
- In spirit and in truth
- And died to set us free.
- “All praise and glory be to Him:
244
- I will give thanks and sing;
- And I am thirsty still.
- And here all day they rise;
- And close at hand it lies.
- And a new song is in my mouth,
- For want and weakness known,
- And the fear that sends me to Thyself
- I hear the voice of joy and health
- And the music of their glad “Amen”
245
- And the worldling sing of mirth;
- And when day has aged to noontide
- And the heart is pressed with care,
- And my barque is slowly drifting
- And the heart shall know not sorrow,
246
- Source and fount of living waters,
- Joy and health and hope and cheer.
- Joy and health and hope and cheer.
- Joy and health and hope and cheer.
- There is rest from sin and strife.
247
- And hidden in Him live!
- And freed from all self-love within,
- And seek but Him to please!
- A meek and quiet spirit show,
- And live in perfect peace!
- How sweet, when all our pow’rs and will,
- Subdued, resigned, serene and still,
- And roams no more abroad!
- How sweet, in pure and perfect love,
- And dwell for aye with God!
248
- Their Father and their King;
- And satisﬁed shall he abide
249
- To contrite hearts and pure;
- So steadfast, safe and sure.
- How full of joy and sweet content
- And weaned from self His fullness prove,
250
- It thrills my soul and makes my heart rejoice.
- The One who loved and gave Himself for me.
- How sweet to know, God’s pure and spotless Son
- In wonder and amazement I adore
- And plead for grace to love Him more and more.
- And plead for grace to love Him more and more.
- No more a stranger to His love and grace,
251
- And sadly remember the sanctiﬁed throng,
- Abide and sing praises, lest one day you see
252
- Purify my heart and cleanse me,
- Thou canst make me pure and holy;
- Comfort, joy and consolation
- Thou art life and light and gladness;
- Thou art life and light and gladness;
253
- My restless soul is calm and still;
- And all His marv’llous way adore,
- And I at last shall reach the goal,
254
- That leads to God and rest;
- He ﬁlled my soul with joy and peace
- And bid my sins depart.
- And this is why I love the path
- The yielded life and will,
255
- With a step more ﬁrm and free,
- Master, speak! Though least and lowest,
- Speak! and make me blest indeed.
- Master, speak! and make me ready,
- With obedience glad and steady,
257
- And humble as a child,
- And humble as a child.
- And let me ever there abide,
258
- And my life secure shall be—
- Saved and kept by love divine,
- Life and peace eternally,
259
- And humbly ask for pow’r
- And though my lot be cast today
- And should an adverse wind arise,
- And if today my path be dark—
260
- Dear Lord, when dark and stormy seems our way,
- Oh, teach us how to truly watch and pray;
- And may we from our hearts sincerely say,
- Dear Lord, when pow’rs of earth and sin oppose,
- When test of heart and spirit keener grows,
261
- Lord, Thy pow’r I need and for grace I plead,
- And it’s hard just to understand;
- And there’s grace for each step Thou’st planned.
- When my life ends and I go hence;
- Then I’ll answer yes and will forward press
262
- None so true and tender as the Man of Sorrows;
263
- In Thee I hide me and am still.
- And, trusting, lean upon Thy breast.
- And faith shall cry a joyous “Yes!”
264
- With heart resigned and will subdued,
- I hearken and obey His voice,
- The law of sin and death would rise
- He is their hope and joy;
- And peace without alloy.
- The voice of God, so still and sweet,
- I will obey, and Christ shall have
- Dominion and control.
265
- And then the vict’ry won—
266
- And yield obedience to His word,
- And we alone remain;
- To reign o’er self and sin;
267
- I follow now and humbly bow
- And He shall reign in me.
- And spend my days to serve and praise
268
- We love His precepts and His word,
- And joyfully obey.
- Renouncing self and sin:
- We yielded then and made our choice
- Our source of life and bliss—
- Will keep us ﬁrm and true.
- Our Master true and kind;
- His Way and Truth and Life.
- His Way and Truth and Life.
269
- And the cross that we are bearing
- ’Twas a varied path, and yet
270
- Enough for you and me to bear.
- And trust the future to the Father’s hand:
- He knows and plans our way.
- Are clear to God, and He will keep our feet
271
- And am persuaded that He is able
272
- And walked with us when lonely was the pathway;
- ’Twas then we proved His pow’r to keep and save.
- Since time began, and still His word is true.
- As we obey and follow Jesus’ footsteps,
273
- And on that last great day I’ll stand
- And though He slay me, I will trust,
- The length and breadth and depth of love,
- The length and breadth and depth of love,
- And shall not fear on that great day,
- When heav’n and earth shall pass away.
274
- To purify and mould;
- And I shall dwell with Him;
- My living hope and stay;
- And give me grace to bear the cross—
275
- We bear our Lord and Saviour’s name,
- And glory in the cross and shame;
- And glory in the cross and shame;
- We buy the truth and sell it not.
- His way and truth and life are sure;
- His way and truth and life are sure;
- His fellowship we love and prize;
- Though friends and foes alike despise.
- We walk midst earth’s reproach and scorn.
276
- Joy and sorrow interwoven—
- And the teardrops fall,
277
- My strength and hope are all in Thee.
- The grace to conquer and to bear—
- And He will guide that step aright.
278
- Best, though my health and strength be gone,
- And e’en though disappointments come,
- And lead me nearer Thee.
- In great events and small.
279
- The toiling hours o’er vale and hill;
- Sorrow and loss their vigil keep;
- Draw near and heal the aching wounds,
280
- And that by faith I now can see
- And plans my path, its joys and woes;
- And plans my path, its joys and woes;
- With fears within and foes without,
281
- And in its self-sufﬁciency,
- Clothed in both fruit and leaves.
- And leave the fountain of Thy word,
- He is my life and righteousness,
- True wisdom and true holiness:
282
- And ﬁll the place prepared for me.
- And all my waking heart is stirred;
- Midst sin and strife I hear Him say,
- “I will return: keep watch and pray.”
- And claim His chosen, faithful bride,
- Who in His way and truth abide.
- Reject His love and go astray,
- And needed grace He will supply
283
- Strong in the strength of gentleness, of meekness, faith and love,
- I take Thy hand in weakness and press on t’ward things above;
- The precious things Thou hast in store for yielded lives and true,
- I feast upon the living bread and drink the water sweet.
- Mid surges of temptations wild and murmurs of self-will,
284
- Take up thy cross and follow me.”
- And ﬁlled my soul with life divine;
- And set His loving eyes on me.
- His simple truth, so sure and clear,
- Brought fellowship and life anew.
285
- Wait on the Lord with conﬁdence and patience;
- Wait in your weakness and in darkest hour.
- He will renew your strength and you will daily
- Prove for yourself how great His love and pow’r.
- Or foes without that would destroy and lure us
- From God’s control, to darkness and to sin.
- Wait on the Lord in fruitfulness and vict’ry
- Lest you should be exalted and deﬁled.
- Always sincere and simple as a child.
- Wait on the Lord, and trust in all His leadings;
- Ask now of Him, and let Him ask of you;
- Answer His prayers, and yours He’ll gladly answer;
- Wait on the Lord, be of good cheer and courage;
286
- To Thee, my Prophet, Priest and King;
- Though small and mean the gift may be,
287
- And I cannot understand,
- None so loving, true and kind;
- Every great and mighty nation,
- To the Lord will bow and fall.
288
- And lead me, Lord, in all my desperation,
- And though I’ve fallen often in the struggle,
- To human pride and every selfish passion,
- When sorrow comes, and grief is cast upon me,
289
- And thinkest, Lord, of me?
290
- Precious is His love and friendship;
- As I follow and obey;
291
- His love and His grace will uphold me
- In wilderness vast and so dreary
- And for the souls thirsty and weary,
- And for the souls thirsty and weary,
292
- Of sorrow and distress,
- To comfort and to bless.
- And draws through mists and shadows
- Which leads o’er hills and valleys
- And all faith sees is heaven
- And keep the goal in view;
- And through eternal ages
293
- Save in Jesus and His cross,
- In the world but vain and loss.
- For which Jesus lived and died,
- To be faithful, true and tried!
- And in blindness turn away,
- All the shame and world rejection
- And obtain the heav’nly prize.
294
- And wouldst thou know the secret
- And He will conquer thee!
- And share His victory.
- And claim the vict’ry still;
- And through the very conﬂict
- And they alone can face it
295
- My refuge and hope are in Jesus,
- And onward rejoicing I go.
- My refuge and hope are in Jesus,
- I know He will nourish and bless.
- And know I shall surely prevail.
- His mercy and faithfulness never
- And, knowing our frame, He remembers
- His Spirit and strength to impart.
- He dwells with the meek and the lowly;
- The heart that is humble and contrite,
296
- Beaming with love and with saving grace;
- And I, Lord, am Thine to the journey’s end.
- And love lights the path for me day by day;
- Thy mercy and truth are my joy and delight,
- Thy mercy and truth are my joy and delight,
- Though ﬁerce be the storm and though dark the night.
- I think of Thy labour, Thy pain and Thy love,
- And love true and tender wells up in my soul
- And points through the storm to the saved one’s goal.
- That once walked so ﬁrm and then scorned defeat,
- But stepped from the path of Thy glory and grace,
- And strayed through the storm from the lowly place.
297
- Our Father’s hand controls the wind and sea.
- His Father’s hand controlled the winds and sea,
- And daily led the Man of Galilee.
- Our Father’s hand shall guide through storm and sea;
- Mountains will fade and foes before us ﬂee,
- If for our God we ﬁrm and faithful be.
298
- Through good report and evil, Lord,
- Our staff, our buckler and our sword—
299
- Finished His course; and when the end had come,
- Lord, take my heart, and may I always seek
- To be like Jesus, faithful, true and meek.
300
- To heal and make it whole.
301
- And lead us alway.
- And trials severe,
- And teach us Thy fear;
- So weak and so frail;
- And strength to prevail.
- And suffer for sinners
302
- And need the guidance of Thy loving hand.
- And over me the pow’r of wrong prevail;
303
- Gladly will I toil and suffer,
- Gladly will I toil and suffer,
304
- Come, brothers, on and forward!
- He leads us and He guards us,
- The sweetness and the glory,
- And onward goes the Shepherd
- In conﬁdence and quiet,
- Oh! dare and suffer all things!
- And then the face of God.
- The world, how small and empty—
- All hail the brier and thorn!
305
- And thus we count the cost.
- The grave clothes and the grave!
- And walk upon the sea!
- And steep and rough and lone,
- And steep and rough and lone,
- And steep and rough and lone,
- If crags and tangles cross it,
306
- And good the land He offers free;
- He’ll guide and help you day by day.

- And if we ﬁnish in the race,
320
- I would be faithful and true to my trust.

326
- And darkness gathers o’er my way,

- And Thy mercy all our days.
- Giving grace and victory.
329
- Christ and Saviour much belov’d.
330
- Go, labour on, spend and be spent,
- Take up the torch and wave it wide,
- Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray,
331
- Sacriﬁce and suffer with Him,
- True in heart, in mind and purpose,
- Live above the gloom and darkness:
- Hate the world, its sin and folly:
- Keep your garments clean and white.
332
- And with humble hearts adore,
- Lord, how good, and oh, how pleasant
- To the Father and the Son.
- And anoint our hearts together
333
- One in Him who loves and keeps us,
334
- Through the night of doubt and sorrow
- Gleams and burns the guiding Light;
- Chasing far the gloom and terror,
336
- Teach me all Thy mind and will—
- Saviour, keep me true and faithful,
- Restful, quiet, calm and still.
- Since Thy pow’r and grace are mine,
- When I’m tested, tried and tempted,
- Give Thine own sweet rest and comfort
337
- Counted in with the loyal, the brave and the true,
- Counted in with the faithful, with Christ and the few;
- And will follow where He leads the way.
338
- The path is steep, and it is ﬁlled with fear:
- Though all is dark, and hope and friends are gone,
- Though all is dark, and hope and friends are gone,
- Hold fast— to fail, for thee means death and hell.
- When life seems bright, and all is well with thee,
339
- If we always keep steady and true.
- The past with its vict’ries and failures has ﬂown;
- With joy and with weeping much seed has been sown;
- From the souls who keep steady and true.
- And comrades succumb to the foe’s awful might,
- That Christ intercedes now by day and by night
- For the souls who keep steady and true.
- There’s balm for each wound and relief for dismay;
- For wisdom and grace are bestowed every day
- On the souls who keep steady and true.
- The reward of the steady and true.
340
- His mighty hand will be my strength and stay.
- But as an anchor ﬁrm and sure remain;
341
- And we have their simple message, though they’ve entered into rest—
- We can ﬁnd these souls of greatness where the walls are weak and low,
- Where the burden is the greatest and the tears most often ﬂow.
- And though worn and tried and tested, heaven’s beacons always glow
342
- With many precious things and treasures rare.
- But faithful be and steady in His care.
- Who are outside the fold and hopeless roam;
- Oh, may they ﬁnd the way to heav’n and home.
- And may I never, never disappoint Him
343
- And will conquer all.
- Sow in hope and you will surely
- So, with unfeigned faith and patience
- All our talents and our efforts
344
- Dispelling all my doubt and fear,
345
- In love He sought and found me when astray;
- And placed my feet within the narrow way.
- His righteousness and grace will make me worthy
346
- My ﬁrst and best, I yield it all
- And give my talents great or small;
347
- Our hope and conﬁdence today
- And bless, according to His word.
- And destitute of hope in Him;
- We’ve proved His wisdom, love and grace,
- Which once controlled, and hid His face.
- And some may fail to ﬁrmly stand,
348
- And His footsteps daily trace—
- Love divine, so pure and changeless,
- After toil and tribulation,
- Comes the joy of home and rest.
349
- And so, within this heart of mine,
- And though my heart be weary, worn,
- And though the way be long,
- And sing the victor’s song.
- For Thou, my Lord and Saviour true,
- And all the riches of Thy grace
- And sometimes in my heart I hear
- And so along this homeward road
- And future days shall hold no fear
350
- And mark the path till the journey’s done
- With pure and Christ-like deeds.
- When glad is thine heart and the sky is clear,
- And hope lends her strength to thy soul,
- When vict’ry is thine, and the Lord is near,
- And clearer thou seest the goal,
- When pained is thine heart, and the clouds hang low,
- And all thou canst see is defeat,
- And thou shalt be glad for each test
- And gained for thy soul God’s best.
351
- Reaching weary hearts and lonely,
- Thus, though worn and tried and tempted,
- Thus, though worn and tried and tempted,
- Vessels weak and poor and base,
- Vessels weak and poor and base,
- Meek, unnoticed and unknown,
- And to God a vessel holier,
- Filled with Christ and Christ alone;
352
- His love and approval I cherish;
- I’ve vowed to be true and to change not,
- What though it mean conﬂict and pain;
354
- To victors be o’er self and sin,
- Spend and be spent for Christ’s dear sake;
- To face the lonely days and years,
- And trust Him where we cannot trace.
- Sufﬁcient found His grace and love.
- Shall call and claim us as His own.
355
- May my daily walk and words and actions
- Of His great love and mercy,
- And all that He has done,
- Who faced earth’s scorn and sneer;
- And bearing of the cross;
- Means earthly pain and loss.
- And as He dwells within,
- He’ll keep me pure and spotless,
356
- Amid sin’s waste and barren land,
- Who love His holy will and way;
- Their Father, God, their strength and stay.
- And walk with Jesus cruciﬁed.
- And pure in heart, who see His face;
- Rejoicing in His truth and grace.
357
- And feast on His unchanging love;
- And righteousness shall reign at last.
358
- And yield my life to His control;
- His hand will guide and keep me true
- And never from the Shepherd stray,
- And all my will to Him resign.
- For things which only fade and die?
- And He alone can satisfy.
359
- With heart and purpose true,
- And heav’n’s reward in view.
- So strange it seems and wondrous
- And whispered, “Leave earth’s pleasures—
- The world and ﬂesh and devil
- And show me what I’m missing
- And doubt ﬁlls me with fear,
360
- Singing songs of joy and praise
- Growing in His truth and grace,
361
- And yielded up our all,
- As tests and trials abound,
- Faith, hope and love abiding,
- With steadfast mind and purpose,
362
- To count upon each promise and be still.
- To worship in Thy presence and abide;
- And, oh, the greatest longing, through Thy grace,
363
- I will follow Thee, my Lord, and Thy sweet will obey,
- Gladly yielding Thee my best and all from day to day;
- It is building on the Rock and not upon the sand—
- Hearing and obeying Christ the Saviour.
- Bore the cross in meekness and the shame He did despise,
- Though the world may sneer and scoff and hinder every day;
- Though the world may sneer and scoff and hinder every day;
- Jesus keeps His faithful ones, and they will hear Him say,
364
- And never turn aside;
- With a faithful heart and purpose true,
- Who was tempted sore and tried—
- The pure and precious Lamb of God
- To prove our hearts and show to us
- His daily love and care.
- So let us watch and pray
- Destroyed by self and sin?
365
- Oh! to be approved and faithful!
- Now and all along the way.
- Loved of God, approved and chosen—
- First I knew His peace and smile
- Gives my heart true rest and comfort,
366
- Evermore seek to labour and pray;
- Keep your heart and your life
- Never ceasing to labour and pray,
- Though the pitfalls and snares may abound.
- And the faithful who now share His glory,
- Where they hunger and thirst nevermore.
- In the glory and rest He is waiting—
367
- Hold fast, and be thou faithful unto death;
- And no man take thy crown.
- If we will ﬁrm and steadfast stand,
- And constant hardships met;
- Steadfast in heart and mind,
- Have conﬁdence and hope in God:
368
- And He meets my heart’s deep need.
- Now heav’n’s peace and joy I share.
- Of my heart and life for aye;
- And I know He’ll always be
- True and faithful, never changing,
- Giving life and liberty.
- And each day I long to follow
369
- The shield and breastplate are at hand.
- And able in His strength to stand.
- And pressed the battle to the last.
- For us His grace and wisdom are.
- And spread His glorious name afar.
370
- And calmly ﬁll their place
371
- Temptations painful and severe,
- And bruise the ﬁery serpent’s head.
372
- Say, O spirit brave and true,
- For the truth and for the right,

374
- The path, though steep and narrow,
- And I must face the foe,

- Amid the storm and tempest,
- And stay my wav’ring feet.
- And I rejoice to know
- And so I onward go.
- Amid earth’s pain and woe;
- And so I onward go.
375
- In every life, a conﬂict ﬁerce and keen;
- With help and courage in His outstretched hands.

- Strong in the Lord and the pow’r of His might,
- Strong in the Lord and the pow’r of His might.
- Trust in the Lord, and our foes then must yield.
- Press on to conquer, and never gainsay,
377
- Be true and faithful: His mercy’s sure,
- How real to bear the cross and follow Jesus,
- In love and meekness all His trials bore;
- Oh, help us, Lord, to love Thee more and more.
378
- My rising and my rest,
- And, ere my lips pronounce the word,
- Oh, wondrous knowledge, deep and high!
- And like a bulwark prove,
379
- And let my life appear
- And I, by grace, am brought at last
380
- Search me, O Lord, and know my inmost heart;
- To love and serve in harmony with Thee.

387
- With the Lord to lead and guide;

- To seek the lost and dying men,

- And though I knew not what would be,
- And see the little lambs to keep;
- And say again, “Dear Lord, send me.”

- To turn from home and lands and friends and kindred:
- To turn from home and lands and friends and kindred:
- To turn from home and lands and friends and kindred:
- Speak, Lord, again and say “Come, follow me.”

- And let me say, wherever they may wander,

- Who sows and reaps will both rejoice together
- And in eternal love will then abide.
408
- Honour and glory which never can fade;
- No reputation and unrecognized,
- Misunderstood and by worldlings despised,
- Laying my life down, to spend and be spent;
409
- Alone with God, and in Him hidden,
- And when I see the moment nearing
410
- Await the heirs of Christ and true salvation,
- And angels sing sweet melodies of grace.
- Thou art, O God, our comfort and delight;
- And when our hearts in mourning’s robes are shrouded,
- We feel Thee near— dear Guiding Star and Light.
411
- Sweet, sweet release, when pain and death have ﬂown,
- And Jesus lives forever with His own.
- Home, heav’nly home— all toil and trouble past;
- And we shall rise to reign on that blest shore.
- And Jesus calls us to heav’n’s perfect peace.
412
- When life is ended and I must travel
- If I have Jesus to guard and guide me,
- Shines o’er my pathway, and hope eternal
- ’Twas Jesus vanquished death and the grave;
- He freed my soul from sin’s curse and stain.

- Are worn if we in Him abide;

52
- When Jordan’s waves are ﬁerce assailing,
54

- To me are precious seed.
71
- Opportunities are gone
72

- Are to me a priceless treasure,
- Are to me a priceless treasure,
83
- Broken hearts are seeking rest,
88
- Thy love and skill are such;
97

- We are fading, too, like the ﬂowers
- With the tides of time we are drifting;
98
- Time is ﬂeeting, ﬂow’rs are falling,

- We are hast’ning on;
99

113
- Ye who are weary, come home”;
- Time is now ﬂeeting, the moments are passing—
- Shadows are gathering, night is soon coming,
115
- To my love they still are strangers,
- For they are not of this fold.
- And the feet that are so weary
121
- You are straying afar from the fold,
- There are dangers untold in the path you now tread,
123
- From earth’s pleasures that are vain;
- And are mingled with much pain;
- Tells of joys that are not vain,
125
- Till all its struggles and trials are past;
126
- Angels are waiting; do you not care
- That you are drifting to endless despair?
- That you are drifting to endless despair?
128
- We are building day by day,
- We are building in sorrow and building in joy,
129

130
- When time and seasons are no more.
134
- For His promises are sure.
135
- When your days on earth are o’er;
136
- You are left to mourn at last.
138

143
- There are many who say,
- “Are there few that be saved?”
- They are lost mid the din and the strife.
- “Go! depart, ye are not of my ﬂock”;
146
- All its joys are but a name;
147
- Your days and years are passing,
149
- The riches of earth are deceitful,
153
- Hiding when storms are near?
156
- The joys of the Kingdom are glories untold.
- Life is now passing, the shadows are deep’ning;
161
- These are not riches, but only as dross;
162
- Dreary are the wastes of sin;
164
- Take now this step, while God and heav’n are near.
166
- The solemn words are sounding
175
- I know how hardly souls are wooed and won;
- My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears.”
- The brief hours are not lost in which ye learn
176
- The ﬁelds are white and honest hearts are waiting—
- The ﬁelds are white and honest hearts are waiting—
182
- Lord, we are met together,
183
- Christ’s blood-bought ones are we;
186
- The hosts of sin are marching on,
190
- We are in the midst of danger—
- Foes are lurking round;
- Snares of death are found.
192
- In His sight their souls are precious—
- When our days on earth are done.
193
- We ourselves a watch are keeping
196
- Are spread to cover o’er my wrong,
207
- Sealed by Thee are we,
208
- Are His alone.
220
- Sweet are Thy messengers,
221
- Who through the Son are free.
- Home, friends are left; it seems so strange,
222
- Are dwelling in this heart of mine.
224
- My foes are ever near me,
228
- Rich are the moments of blessing,
- Rich are the moments of blessing,
- Rich are the moments of blessing
232
- New each morning are His mercies
234
- For all my cares are Thine;
238
- Whose favours are divine.
- But when His strokes are felt,
- His strokes are fewer than our crimes
- High as the heav’ns are raised
- Our days are as the grass
243
- Proving we are not our own,
245
- Which are every morning new;
- ’Tis a new song they are singing:
248
- How blest are they that fear the Lord,
249
- How gracious are His promises,
256
- They are life indeed;
261
- There are times in life when the way seems dark,
269
- And the cross that we are bearing
270
- For well He knows today’s own burdens are
- Are clear to God, and He will keep our feet
275
- His way and truth and life are sure;
- Our hearts are ﬁxed to run the race,
277
- My strength and hope are all in Thee.
278
- They, too, are best for me,
279
- Against our soul are strong arrayed;
283
- His promises are ever sure: rare treasures manifold.
286
- As one by one Thy lambs are found,
- As one by one Thy lambs are found.
291
- The bright lights of home are appearing
293
- Earthly suff’rings are not worthy
295
- My refuge and hope are in Jesus,
- My refuge and hope are in Jesus,
296
- Thy mercy and truth are my joy and delight,
306
- Fair are the prospects all ahead,
311
- My days of banishment are o’er.
318
- Are you bearing fruit for Jesus,
319
- For through it all, of blessing we are sure;
329
- Selfish freedoms are but bondage;
330
- The Master praises— what are men?
333
- One with His today are we—
- “May they all be one, as we are—
336
- Since Thy pow’r and grace are mine,
338
- Though all is dark, and hope and friends are gone,
339
- For wisdom and grace are bestowed every day
341
- We can ﬁnd these souls of greatness where the walls are weak and low,
342
- I would be true for there are those who trust me,
- Who are His blood-bought ones, His faithful band.
- Who are outside the fold and hopeless roam;
343
- Labourers are few.
346
- Thy vows are binding, Lord, on me;
347
- Are deeply rooted in the Lord;
- Are clothed with living hope in Him,
348
- Pilgrims, we are marching on;
356
- How blessed are the undeﬁled
360
- Darkest clouds are riven,
- All my sins are washed away,
361
- Some by our side are sleeping,
366
- See, the shadows are falling around;
367
- His promises are true.
369
- The shield and breastplate are at hand.
- For us His grace and wisdom are.
372
- In the warfare we are waging
381
- “Are my heart and purpose true?”
389
- Our sins are washed away
392
- We would see Jesus— other lights are paling,
- The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing;
394
- Keep ﬁrm and true: the weak in Him are strong.
397
- These shall pass onward when we are forgotten:
- When the bright crowns of rejoicing are won,
400
- Oh, can we say we are truly ready,
- Blessed are those whom the Lord ﬁnds watching—
405
- “These are the souls for whom my Saviour died.”
406
- To Jesus they are willing slaves,
- For them our hearts are stirred.
407
- Go forth among the lab’rers who are weary;
- Lift up your eyes, the ﬁelds are white and waiting;
- Before the precious grains are trampled under,
- And sheaves are bound, and chaff is cast aside,
408
- Scorners are silent, there’s none to upbraid.
409
- When storms of life are round me beating,
410
- And when our hearts in mourning’s robes are shrouded,

ARIGHT (5)

60
- Help me to walk aright,
90
- Knowing that it leads aright;
261
- To direct my own steps aright:
277
- And He will guide that step aright.
381
- Oh, for faith to help me walk aright,

ARISE (20)

60
- When doubts and fears arise,
76
- God in His mercy bids you arise;
77
- New springs within my heart arise
103
- Oh, arise, be up and doing,
143
- While He calls you, arise,
155
- Soon the Master will arise
159
- Arise, let this thine answer be,
161
- Thy love has conquered, and now I arise:
172
- O Lord, today may there arise
180
- In concord may our prayers arise
190
- While our prayers arise;
210
- Arise, my soul, and answer
246
- All my springs arise in Jesus—
- Quells the fears which oft arise.
- All my springs arise in Jesus—
- All my springs arise in Jesus—
- All my springs arise in Jesus—
259
- And should an adverse wind arise,
395
- Awake! arise! your lamps of purpose trim.
398
- Shall arise, no more to die.

ARM (13)

32
- His arm is strong: we do not fear,
76
- No eye to pity, no arm to save;
82
- Thy heavy load mine arm upbears—
85
- And His arm around me thrown.
96
- And brace thy heart and nerve thine arm.
150
- No strong arm to save.
214
- His strong arm, and His alone,
281
- The arm of ﬂesh dishonours Thee;
295
- His own strong right arm will protect me,
310
- Shepherd of Israel, strong is Thine arm,
315
- Stretch forth Thine arm, my soul defend;
376
- Keep on pursuing; His arm will prevail,
- Keep on pursuing; His arm will prevail.

ARMOUR (8)

33
- Clad in salvation’s full armour,
233
- Clothed in His armour, I shall stand,
367
- Lay not thine armour down.
- Lay not thine armour down.
369
- God’s armour waits for us to wear:
373
- Clad in your armour, ﬁrmly you stand,
- Clad in your armour, whole and complete,
396
- Before we lay our armour down.

ARMS (11)

68
- In the arms of His love.
74
- To His arms of mercy
86
- Come to the arms of thy Saviour,
102
- To the arms of Jesus ﬂy:
141
- To His loving arms now turning,
153
- Here in my arms ﬁnd shelter,
258
- ’Neath Thine everlasting arms,
264
- But held in His almighty arms,
291
- His strong, loving arms will enfold me;
323
- Choosing instead Thine everlasting arms.
378
- Within Thy circling arms I lie,

AROUND (13)

11
- Shall stand around the throne—
12
- Oh, spread Thy cov’ring wings around
45
- Feeding on the husks around me,
85
- And His arm around me thrown.
101
- The need is great, for souls around thee perish:
117
- Dark and dreary all around me—
131
- Light of life now beams around me,
170
- Change and decay in all around I see;
222
- And spread their fragrance all around;
224
- Around me and within;
248
- His angels camp around.
297
- Be of good cheer when storms around you rise,
366
- See, the shadows are falling around;

- So near art Thou to me,
25
- Thou art not, like them, untrue.
58
- Thou art the Potter;
69
- Thou art the Christ, we come to Thee;
79
- Art thou lost and tired of straying?
89
- Hear the soft whisper, wherever thou art.
- Softly He whispers, wherever thou art,
124
- When Thou art nigh.
125
- Draw me, my Saviour— so precious Thou art;
177
- Thou art the sinner’s friend;
179
- Show us Thou art here;
182
- But Thou art still our Rock;
- For Thou art coming back, Lord,
184
- Thou art wiser far than we:
187
- Where’er thou art— at home, abroad—
196
- Thou art my life, my hope, my all!
- Thou art the answer to my prayer:
- For, Lord, Thou art the pilgrim’s friend:
197
- Thou art my pattern day unto day;

224
- If Thou art by my side,

231
- “Thou art not left alone.”
- “Thou art not left alone.”

252
- Thou art my sufﬁciency.
- Thou art life and light and gladness;
262

289
- What need I fear since Thou art near
296
- I’ll go where Thou leadest, for Thou art my Friend,
302
- When Thou art very near, Thy presence gives me cheer;
308
- For Thou art with me, and Thy rod,
- For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
315
- For, Lord, Thou art my hiding place
327
- He who hath shown thee what thou art
341
- Art thou pained to see His kingdom suffer loss?
349
- If Thou art by my side,
385
- Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy,
- Thou art worthy, Thou art worthy,
- Of our best, Lord, Thou art worthy,

AS (231)

1
- Sang as they welcomed His birth,
13
- As Thou our prize shalt be;
16
- As in days of yore.
- As on Galilee.
18
- It is sweet to know as I onward go,
20
- As He died for sinners,
21
- Would we not praise as angels praise His name?
- Before such love all else would be as dross,
24
- And as I am appear:
- Just as I am, O Lord,
- Just as I am, a struggling soul,
28
- As strangers and as pilgrims,
- As strangers and as pilgrims,
- Hark! as their voices call us,
35
- Him as Lord by lip and life confessed—
- Pow’r is yours, as daily to His will you bow.
37
- And it shall be as thou wilt;
41
- And thy life, as days are passing,
47
- And whose blood can wash and make us white as snow?
54
- As the Saviour, who would have us
56
- As the Spirit gently pleadeth,
- But as a living seed
57
- May I be ever pliant as clay.
58
- As in Thy presence
60
- Long as my life shall last,
61
- As we walk in Jesus’ way:
62
- That I may choose Him as life’s better part,
68
- As a friend and a brother
74
- None so kind as He!
75
- As I near the end He’ll dearer be.
81
- As a beacon in the darkness,
87
- As He knocked at my heart’s proud entrance,
89
- No gift so precious to Him as our love.
90
- Pay no heed as it invites?
93
- And as vapour it’s passing away.
94
- He entreats you as a friend;
99
- Life, as the ﬂow’rs that are blooming,
104
- For young as well as old.
- For young as well as old.
105
- Then we’ll know as we are known.
106
- If only we knew as when life is through,
- As I ponder this thought, I’m reminded
107
- And all was dark as night;
108
- Of Jesus, our Saviour, as we do our part.
109
- E’en as I stooped to drink they ﬂed,
112
- I came to Jesus as I was—
117
- Ran to kiss me as I came;
- As I was, my Father loved me,
120
- As God’s Spirit seeks to draw you
121
- Growing darker each step as you go;
123
- Dost thou, as Samaria’s daughter,
- As the shades of night hang low,
125
- Naught as an off’ring to Jesus my King:
128
- As the moments glide away,
129
- Let us therefore build as the Master said:
- Let us take the Lord as our only Head,
130
- Then let me choose as I would choose
136
- Life is only as a vapour—
139
- As He knocks and asks admission,
- As in grace He calls again?
143
- As the multitudes roam
147
- Spent as a tale that’s told;
154
- He will seal you as His own—
158
- Just as I am, without one plea,
- Just as I am— poor, wretched, blind;
- Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
- Just as I am, Thy love unknown
161
- Must as a child come and enter therein.
- These are not riches, but only as dross;
- What things were gain may I count as loss.
- Satan deceived as an angel of light.
171
- As Thou didst break the loaves beside the sea.
- As Thou didst bless the bread by Galilee;
173
- As we love His truth and way.
174
- As we seek Thy face today?
- As the living branch abideth
176
- As they of old, Thy voice so plain and clear;
- As from our hearts we purpose to abide.
178
- Father, as we meet
- Father, as we pray
- Father, as we speak
- Father, as we part
- As we live for Thee,
179
- As we gather now together,
- As we pray, Lord, pray Thou through us
- As we do Thy will:
180
- And, as the early rain
- Though many, as one body, in
- As prayers of one with zeal:
- Forgive as we forgive, O Lord,
- Not as we would, but as Thou wilt—
- Not as we would, but as Thou wilt—
181
- As we trace the words of wisdom back to Thee.
- As ahead we saw the test;
- As we listen to Thy voice,
- As we daily make the choice
184
- As before Thy face we bow.
- Step by step as Thou dost show,
188
- All my life as seed.
189
- For He as King there abideth,
- Set as a light on a hill;
- Soon as the Bride to appear,
- Fair as the jasper stone clear.
191
- As we journey on life’s way,
- And our path is bright as day,
- We should take it as a warning
193
- As we face the daily strife?
- As He bore our sins away.
- As we think of days before us,
- Ever as we journey on,
194
- As in Thee we move and live.
- We would serve Thee as we should;
196
- As pants the hart for water brooks,
203
- As we present our sacriﬁce,
208
- Soft as the breath of ev’n,
216
- As Thy perfect love, O Lord,
218
- Loving as He hath loved us,
- But as we love and trust Him,
- Fresh as the dew of heaven,
221
- To sow one’s life as seed.
225
- As Thou hast sought, so let me seek
- A word in season, as from Thee,
- Just as Thou wilt and how and where,
226
- As Thou hast ﬁrst loved me,
- As Thou, Lord, hast forgiv’n;
- As others have endured,
227
- As parchèd land awaits the rain.
- Then I may count my soul as blest;
231
- Speak now, as in the old time
232
- As they cling to Him alone.
235
- Shall rise as incense to Thy throne;
236
- As in this present, evil world I see
238
- High as the heav’ns are raised
- Is such as tender parents feel:
- Our days are as the grass
239
- As one body may we be,
241
- As with a contrite heart I walk
242
- His smile as I journey brings peace to my soul;
- As naked and wounded we groped for the light.
- One night as He poured out His soul for the world,
245
- Blend the chorus all as one;
252
- Seal me as Thine own forever,
257
- Obedient as a child,
- Obedient as a child.
- And humble as a child,
- And humble as a child.
259
- To aid me as I live this day,
260
- We long to walk as one within Thy way,
- To overcome, as Thou didst teach us how;
261
- Lord, it’s not in me as I walk each day
- Help me always be as a tender plant
- Help me see things now as I’ll one day see,
262
- None so true and tender as the Man of Sorrows;

283

323
- Defying truth and boasting at great length,
325
- That will not count at all.
330
- Men die in darkness at thy side,
332
- Till the crown at last is won:
337

348
- All our life, at His disposal,
350
- Thy struggle will end at the dawn of day,
352
- With Him pass death’s vale at the end.
357
- And righteousness shall reign at last.
362
- I long to keep more closely at Thy side,
369
- The shield and breastplate are at hand.
371
- I worship at my Saviour’s feet.
373
- Loins girt with truth at your Leader’s command;
375
- At every gate, an ambushed foe unseen.

379
