Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, as Thou wilt, deal Thou with me, No other wish I cherish; In life and death I cling to Thee, O Lord, let me not perish! Let but Thy grace ne'er from me part, Else as Thou wilt; grant patient heart: Thy will the best is ever. 2 Grant honor, truth, prosperity, And love thy Word to ponder; False doctrines, Lord, keep far from me, And grant both here and yonder What serves my everlasting bliss; Preserve me from unrighteousness Throughout my life and doings. 3 When, at Thy summons, I must leave This world of sin and sadness, Give me Thy grace, Lord, not to grieve, But to depart with gladness; My spirit I commend to Thee, O Lord, a blessed end give me Through Jesus Christ;--Yea, Amen.

Lord, hear the voice of my complaint

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.4.6.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear the voice of my complaint, To Thee I now commend me, Let not my heart and hope grow faint, But deign Thy grace to send me. True faith from Thee, my God, I seek, The faith that loves Thee solely, Keeps me lowly, And prompt to aid the weak, And mark each word that Thou dost speak. 2 Yet more from Thee I dare to claim, Whose goodness is unbounded; O let me ne'er be put to shame, My hope be ne'er confounded; But e'en in death still find Thee true, And in that hour else lonely, Trust Thee only. Not aught that I can do, For such false trust I sore should rue. 3 O grant that from my very heart My foes be all forgiven, Forgive my sins and heal their smart, And grant new life from heaven; Thy Word, that blessed food, bestow, Which best the soul canst nourish; Make it flourish Through all the storms of woe That else my faith might overthrow. 4 Then be the world my foe or friend, Keep me to her a stranger, Thy steadfast follower to the end, Through pleasure and through danger; From Thee alone comes such high grace, No works of ours obtain it Or can gain it; Our pride hath here no place-- This Thy free promise we embrace. 5 Help me, for I am weak; I fight, Yet scarce can battle longer; I cling but to Thy grace and might, 'Tis Thou must make me stronger; When sore temptations are my lot, And tempests round me lower, Break their power: So, through deliverance wrought, I know that Thou forsak'st me not.

Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away; O let me from this day Be wholly Thine! 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold sullen stream Shall o'er me roll; Blest Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!

My God, my Father, while I stray

Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 563 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father, while I stray Far from my home, on life’s rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, Thy will be done! 2 Though dark my path, and sad my lot, Let me be still and murmur not, Or breathe the prayer divinely taught, Thy will be done! 3 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh; Submissive still would I reply, Thy will be done! 4 Though Thou hast called me to resign What most I prized, it ne’er was mine; I have but yielded what was Thine: Thy will be done! 5 Should grief or sickness waste away My life in premature decay, My Father, still I strive to say, Thy will be done! 6 Let but my fainting heart be blest With Thy sweet Spirit for its guest, My God, to Thee I leave the rest: Thy will be done! 7 Renew my will from day to day; Blend it with Thine, and take away All that now makes it hard to say, Thy will be done! 8 Then, when on earth I breathe no more, The prayer oft mixed with tears before, I’ll sing upon a happier shore, Thy will be done!

Thus far the Lord has led me on

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 657 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord hath led me on, Thus far His power prolongs my days; And every evening shall make known Some fresh memorial of His grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But He forgives my follies past, And gives me strength for days to come. 3 I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow for my head; His ever-watchful eye will keep Its constant guard around my bed. 4 Faith in Thy name forbids my fear; O may Thy presence ne’er depart! And in the morning may I bear Thy loving-kindness on my heart! Topics: Evening

Now praise we Christ, the Holy One

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now praise we Christ, the Holy One, The blessed virgin Mary's Son, Far as the blessed sun doth shine, E'en to the world's remote confine. 2 He who Himself all things did make, A servant's form vouchsafed to take, That He as man mankind might win, And save His creatures from their sin. 3 The grace of God, the mighty Lord, On the chaste mother was outpoured; A virgin pure and undefiled In wondrous wise conceived a child. 4 The noble mother bare a Son, For so did Gabriel's promise run, Whom John confessed, and leapt with joy, Ere yet the mother knew her boy. 5 In a rude manger, stretched on hay, In poverty content He lay; With milk was fed the Lord of all, Who feeds the ravens when they call. 6 The heavenly choirs rejoice, and raise Their voice to God in songs of praise; To humble shepherds is proclaimed The Shepherd who the world hath framed. 8 All honor unto Christ be paid, Pure offspring of the holy maid, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Till time in endless time be lost.
