Thy grace is ever near, Thy Spirit ever here, Drawing to Thee. 2 Ages on ages rolled, Ere earth appeared, Yet Thine unmeasured love Thy way prepared; E'en then thou yearned for me That I might nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 3 Thy Son has come to earth, My sin to bear, My every wound to heal, My pain to share. "God in the flesh" for me, Brings me now nearer Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 Lo! all my debt is paid, My guilt is gone. See! He has risen for me, My throne is won. Thanks, O my God, to Thee! None now can nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 5 Welcome, then, to Thy home, Blest One in Three! As Thou hast promised, come! Come, Lord, to me! Work Thou, O God, through me, Live Thou, O God, in me, Ever in me. 6 By the baptismal stream, Which made me Thine, By the dear flesh and blood, Thy love made mine, Purge Thou all sin from me, That I may nearer be, Nearer to Thee! 7 Surely it matters not What earth may bring, Death is of no account, Grace will I sing. Nothing remains for me, Save to be nearer Thee, Nearer to Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE

O Christ, our true and only Light

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Hymnal: Book of Worship with Hymns and Tunes #230a (1899) Topics: Christ Desire of the Nations Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze, And all, O Lord, whose secret minds Some dark delusion hurts and blinds. 3 And all who else have strayed from Thee, O gently seek! Thy healing be To every wounded conscience given, And let them also share Thy heaven. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word, And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold, Recall the wanderers to Thy fold. Unite those now who walk apart, Confirm the weak and doubting heart. 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wondering thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given, By all Thy Church in earth and heaven. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY

How tedious and tasteless the hours

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #380 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: None upon earth I desire besides thee Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours, When Jesus no longer I see; Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers, Have all lost their sweetness with me. The mid-summer's sun shines but dim, The fields strive in vain to look gay; But when I am happy in him, December's as pleasant as May. 2 His name yields the richest perfume, And sweeter than music his voice; His presence disperses my gloom, And makes all within me rejoice. I should, were he always so nigh, Have nothing to wish or to fear; No mortal so happy as I, My summer would last all the year. 3 Content with beholding his face, My all to his pleasure resign'd; No changes of seasons or place, Would make any change in my mind: While bless'd with the sense of his love, A palace a toy would appear; And prisons would palaces prove, If Jesus would dwell with me there. 4 Dear Lord, if indeed I am thine, If thou art my sun and my song; Say, why do I languish and pine, And why are my winter so long? O drive those dark clouds from my sky, Thy soul-cheering presence restore; Or take me unto thee on high, Where winter and clouds are no more. Scripture: Psalm 73:25
