I ask not, Lord, for less to bear

Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: SDAH1886 #724 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I ask not, Lord, for less to bear Here in the narrow way, But that I may thy blessing share In all I do or say, In all I do or say. 2 Through whatsoe'er my path shall lie, With patience may I run; With filial trust my heart reply, "Thy will, O God, be done." 3 With thee to lead, I will not fear In scenes with dangers rife, While still thy cheering voice I hear, "I am the Way, the Life." 4 Thou art the refuge of my soul, My hope when comforts flee, My strength while life's rough billows roll, My joy eternally. 5 Then help me to improve with care, These precious moments given; For they a faithful record bear, Of good or ill, to Heaven. 6 And in thine arms of love enfold Me from the tempter's snare; And in the book of life enrolled, Be my name written there.

Author: Mrs. E. H.

From my weary heart the burden rolled away: Happy day! happy day! happy day! From my weary heart the burden rolled away; Happy day! happy day. 2 I leave it all with Jesus, for he knows How to steal the bitter from life's woes; How to gild the tear of sorrow with his smile, Make the desert garden bloom awhile. Then with all my weakness leaning on his might, All is light! all is light! all is light! Then with all my weakness leaning on his might, All is light! all is light. 3 I leave it all with Jesus, day by day; Faith can firmly trust him, come what may; Hope has dropp'd for aye her anchor, found her rest; In the calm, sure haven of his breast, Love esteems it joy of heaven to abide At his side! at his side! at his side! Love esteems it joy of heaven to abide, At his side! at his side. 4 O, leave it all with Jesus, drooping soul, Tell not half thy story, but the whole; Worlds on worlds are hanging ever on his hand; Life and death are waiting his command, Yet his tender, loving mercy makes thee room: O come home! O come home! O come home! Yes, his tender, loving mercy makes thee room, O come home! O come home. Topics: Special Department Bible Songs Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Tune Title: I LEFT IT ALL WITH JESUS

Chorus: Then palms of victory, crowns of glory, Palms of victory we shall bear. 2 The summer sun was shining, The sweat was on his brow, His garments worn and dusty, His step seemed very slow: But he kept pressing onward, For he was wending home; Still shouting as he journeyed, Deliverance will come.

He stopped his ears, and ran, Still shouting as he journeyed, Deliverance will come.

Hope made for him a pillow, And faith, a garment rare, To keep him in his slumbers Till Jesus should appear.

Though worn with toil, oppressed by foes, No murmur from his heart arose: I asked what buoyed his spirits up, "O this!" said he "the blessed hope." 3 And there was one who left behind The cherished friends of early years, And honor, pleasure, wealth resigned, To treat the path bedewed with tears. Through trials deep and conflicts sore, Yet still a smile of joy he wore: I asked what buoyed his spirits up, "O this!" said he "the blessed hope." 4 While pilgrims here we journey on In this dark vale of sin and gloom, Through tribulation, hate, and scorn, Or through the portals of the tomb, Till our returning King shall come To take his exile captives home, O! what can buoy the spirits up?

Gates Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1357 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I will sing you a song of that beautiful land, The far away home of the soul, Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll, While the years of eternity roll; Where no storms ever beat on the glittering strand, While the years of eternity roll. 2 O, that home of the soul! in my visions and dreams Its bright, jasper walls I can see, Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me, Between the fair city and me; Till I fancy but thinly the vail intervenes Between the fair city and me. 3 That unchangeable home is for you and for me, Where Jesus of Nazareth stands; The King of all kingdoms forever, is he, And he holdeth our crowns in his hands, And he holdeth our crown in his hands; The King of all kingdoms forever, is he, And he holdeth our crowns in his hands. 4 O, how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain; With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again! To meet one another again! With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands, To meet one another again!

I would not live alway, I ask not to stay

Author: William A. Muhlenberg Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1178 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway, I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. I would not live always; no; welcome the tomb, Since Jesus has laid there, I dread not its gloom; There sweet be my rest till he bid me arise To hail him in triumph descending the skies. 2 Who, who would live always, away from his God. Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? There saints of all ages in harmony meet; Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet; There anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord in the feast of the soul.

If God is mine, then present things

Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: SDAH1886 #703 (1886) Lyrics: 1 If God is mine, then present things And things to come are mine; Yea, Christ, his word, and Spirit too, And glory all divine. 2 If he is mine, then from his love He every trouble sends; All things are working for my good, And bliss his rod attends. 3 If he is mine, let friends forsake, Let wealth and honor flee; Sure he who giveth me himself Is more than these to me. 4 O, tell me, Lord, that thou art mine; What can I wish beside? My soul shall at the fountain live, When all the streams are dried. Topics: The Christian Comfort and Encouragement Tune Title: GRIGG

If I in thy likeness, O Lord, may awake

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #968 (1886) Lyrics: 1 If I thy likeness, O Lord, may awake, And shine, a pure image of thee, Then I shall be satisfied, when I can break The fetters of death, and be free. 2 I know this stained tablet must first be washed white, To let thy bright features be drawn; I know I must suffer the darkness of night, To welcome the coming of dawn. 3 O, I shall be satisfied when I can cast The shadow of nature all by, When this dreary world from my vision is passed, To live in an unclouded day. 4 I feel the blest morning begins to draw near, When time's dreary fancy shall fade; O, then in thy likeness may I but appear, In glory and beauty arrayed! 5 When on thine own image in me thou hast smiled, Within thy blest mansion, and when The arms of my Father encircle his child, Or I shall be satisfied then!

If, through unruffled seas

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: SDAH1886 #736 (1886) Lyrics: 1 If, through unruffled seas, Calmly toward heaven we sail, With grateful hearts, O God, to thee, We'll own the favoring gale, With grateful hearts, O God, to thee, We'll own the favoring gale. 2 But should the surges rise, And rest delay to come, Blest be the sorrow, kind the storm, Which drives us nearer home. 3 Soon shall our doubts and fears All yield to thy control; Thy tender mercies shall illume The midnight of the soul. 4 Teach us in every state, To make thy will our own, And when the joys of sense depart, To live by faith alone.

If 'tis sweet to mingle where

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #276 (1886) Lyrics: 1 If 'tis sweet to mingle where Christians meet for social prayer, If 'tis sweet with them to raise Songs of holy joy and praise, O, how sweet that state must be, Where they meet eternally! 2 Saviour, may these meetings prove Preparations from above; As we leave this sacred place, May we go from grace to grace, Till we each, in his degree, Fit for endless glory be.

If you cannot on the ocean

Author: Ellen H. Gates Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1070 (1886) Lyrics: 1 If you cannot on the ocean Sail among the swiftest fleet, Rocking on the highest billows, Laughing at the storms you meet, You can stand among the sailors, Anchored yet within the bay, You can lend a hand to help them, As they launch their boat away. 2 If you are too weak to journey Up the mountain steep and high, You can stand within the valley, While the multitude go by; You can chant in happy measure, As they slowly pass along; Though they may forget the singer, They will not forget the song. 3 If you have not gold and silver Ever ready to command, If you cannot to'ard the needy Reach an ever-open hand, You can visit the afflicted, O'er the erring you can weep, You can be a true disciple Sitting at the Saviour's feet. 4 If you cannot in the harvest Garner up the richest sheaves, Many a grain both ripe and golden Oft some careless reaper leaves; Go and glean among the briers, Growing rank against the wall, For it may be that the shadow Hides the heaviest wheat of all.

[Chorus] 4 But hark! there is something more precious Than all of these pleasures so rare, The hope of beholding my Saviour, The promise of knowing him there Who trod the rough, pathway before us Those portals of bliss to unfold Who suffered and died to restore us; His love can never be told.

I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger; I can tarry, I can tarry but a night. 2 There the glory is ever shining! O, my longing heart, my longing heart is there; Here in this country so dark and dreary, I long have wandered, forlorn and weary, 3 There's the city to which I journey; My Redeemer, my Redeemer is its light! There is no sorrow, nor any sighing, Nor any tears there, nor any dying. 4 Farewell, neighbors, with tears I've warned you, I must leave you, I must leave you, and be gone! With this your portion, your heart's desire, Why will you perish in raging fire? 5 Father, mother, and sister, brother! If you will not journey with me, I must go! Now since your vain hopes you will thus cherish, Should I too linger, and with you perish? 6 Farewell, drear earth, by sin so blighted, In immortal beauty soon you'll be arrayed; He who has formed thee, will soon restore thee, And then the dread curse shall never more be.

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #864 (1886) Lyrics: 1 I'm weary of staying; O when shall I rest In that promised land of the good and the blest. Where sin can no longer her blandishments spread, Where tears and temptations forever are fled? 2 I'm weary of sighing o'er sorrows of earth, O'er joy's glowing visions that fade at their birth, O'er pangs for the loved which we cannot assuage, O'er blightings of you and the weakness of age. 3 I'm weary of hoping, where hope is untrue, As fair but as fleeting as bright morning dew; I long for that land whose blest promise alone Is changeless, and sure as eternity's throne. 4 I'm weary of loving what passes away; The sweetest and dearest, alas! may not stay: I long for that land where these partings are o'er, And death and the tomb can divide us no more! 5 O Jesus, my Saviour, when shall I behold That morning long promised by prophets of old, When sin's night of sorrow forever is past, And death's silent captives are ransomed at last?
