His are the thousand sparkling rills
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 33 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 His are the thousand sparkling rills
That from a thousand fountains burst,
And fill with music all the hills;
And yet he saith, "I thirst."
2 All fiery pangs on battlefields,
On fever beds where sick men toss,
Are in that human cry he yields
To anguish on the cross.
3 But more than pains that racked him then
Was the deep longing thirst divine
That thirsted for the souls of men;
Dear Lord! and one was mine.
4 O Love most patient, give me grace;
Make all my soul athirst for thee;
That parched dry lip, that fading face,
That thirst, were all for me.
Amen. Topics: Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Compassion of; Christ Example of; Christ Suffering of; Longing for Christ and God Scripture: John 19:28 Used With Tune: ELMHURST

There are three lessons I would write
Author: J. C. Schiller, 1759-1805 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 There are three lessons I would write,
Three words as with a burning pen,
In tracings of eternal light,
Upon the hearts of men.
2 Have faith: where'er thy bark is driven
The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth
Know this God rules the host of heaven,
The inhabitants of earth.
3 Have hope: though clouds environ now,
And gladness hides her face in scorn,
Put thou the shadow from thy brow;
No night but hath its morn.
4 Have love: not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call,
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.
5 Thus grave these lessons on thy soul
Faith, hope, and love, and thou shalt find
Strength when life's surges rudest roll,
Light when thou else wert blind. Topics: Brotherhood Universal; The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Faith Hope and Charity; Universal Brotherhood; Graces, Christian; Social Righteousness; Righteousness Social; Man His Life and Experiences Used With Tune: ELMHURST
