As oft, with worn and weary feet

Author: James Edmeston Appears in 59 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 As oft, with worn and weary feet, We tread earth's rugged valley o'er, The thought, how comforting and sweet, Christ trod this very path before! Our wants and weaknesses he knows From life's first dawning till its close. 2 Do sickness, feebleness, or pain, Or sorrow in our path appear? The recollection will remain, More deeply did he suffer here: His life, how truly sad and brief, Filled up with suffering and with grief! 3 If Satan tempts our hearts to stray, And whispers evil things within, So did he, in the desert way, Assail our Lord with thoughts of sin, When worn, and in a feeble hour, The tempter came with all his power. 4 Just such as I, this earth he trod, With every human ill but sin; And, though indeed the Son of God, As I am now, so he has been: My God, my Saviour! look on me With pity, love, and sympathy Topics: The Christian Comfort and Encouragement Used With Tune: YOAKLEY

When gathering clouds around I view

Author: Robert Grant Appears in 276 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 When gathering clouds around I view, And days are dark and friends are few, On Him I lean who not in vain Experienced every human pain: He sees my wants, allays my fears, And counts and treasures up my tears. 2 If aught should tempt my soul to stray From heavenly wisdom's narrow way, To fly the good I would pursue, Or do the sin I would not do, Still, He who felt temptation's power Shall guard me in that dangerous hour. 3 If wounded love my bosom swell, Deceived by those I prized too well, He shall his pitying aid bestow Who felt on earth severer woe, At once betrayed, denied, or fled, By those who shared his daily bread. 4 When sorrowing o'er some stone I bend Which covers what was once a friend, And from his voice, his hand, his smile, Divides me for a little while, Thou, Saviour, mark'st the tears I shed; For thou didst weep o'er Lazarus dead.

Be still, my heart! these anxious cares

Author: John Newton Appears in 137 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Be still, my heart! these anxious cares To thee are burdens, thorns, and snares; They cast dishonor on thy Lord, And contradict his gracious word; Brought safely by his hand thus far, Why wilt thou now give place to fear? 2 When first before his mercy-seat Thou didst to him thy all commit, He gave thee warrant from that hour To trust his wisdom, love, and power: Did ever trouble yet befall And he refuse to hear thy call? 3 He who has helped thee hitherto, Will help thee all thy journey through; Though rough and thorny be the road, It leads thee home, apace, to God; Then count thy present trials small, For heaven will make amends for all.
