We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen

Author: Ellen Ellis Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #629b (1894) Meter: 11.10 Topics: For the Sick and Afflicted Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus, the great rock foundation Whereon our feet were set by sovereign grace: Nor life nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. 3 We would see Jesus: other lights are paling, Which for long years we have rejoiced to see; The blessings of our pilgrimage are failing: We would not mourn them, for we go to Thee. 4 We would see Jesus; yet the spirit lingers Round the dear objects it has loved so long, And earth from earth can scarce unclasp its fingers; Our love to Thee makes not this love less strong. 5 We would see Jesus: sense is all too binding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see Thee, Thyself our hearts reminding What Thou hast suffered, our great debt to pay. 6 We would see Jesus: this is all we're needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen]

Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow

Oh, what could hope and confidence afford To tread that path, but this? Thou knowest, Lord. 5 Thou knowest, not alone as God, all-knowing; As Man, our mortal weakness Thou hast proved; On earth, with purest sympathies o'erflowing, O Saviour, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved; And love and sorrow still to Thee may come, And find a hiding-place, a rest, a home. 6 Therefore I come, Thy gentle call obeying, And lay my sins and sorrows at Thy feet; On everlasting Strength my weakness staying, Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete: Then rising and refreshed I leave Thy throne, And follow on to know as I am known. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow]

In trouble and in grief, O God

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #631 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: It is Good that I have been Afflicted Lyrics: 1 In trouble and in grief, O God, Thy smile hath cheered my way; And joy hath budded from each thorn That round my footsteps lay. 2 The hours of pain have yielded good Which prosperous days refused; As herbs, though scentless when entire, Spread fragrance when they're bruised. 3 The oak strikes deeper as its boughs By furious blasts are driven; So life's tempestuous storms the more Have fixed my heart in heaven. 4 All-gracious Lord, whate'er my lot In other times may be, I'll welcome still the heaviest grief That brings me near to thee.

Earth is no resting-place for Thee; To heaven direct thy weeping eye, I am thy portion; Come to me." 4 O voice of mercy! voice of love!

God of thine Israel's faithful three

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #635 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Fearless in the Furnace of Affliction Lyrics: 1 God of thine Israel's faithful three, Who braved the tyrant's ire, Who nobly scorned to bow the knee, And walked, unhurt, in fire: Oh, breathe their faith into my breast, In every trying hour; And stand, O Son of Man, confessed In all thy saving power! 2 While thou, Almighty Lord, art nigh, My soul disdains to fear; Both sin and Satan I defy, Still impotently near: The earth and hell their wars may wage-- I mark their vain design: And calmly smile to see them rage Against a child of thine. Scripture: Daniel 3:23
