Immortal love, for ever full
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807-1892 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Hope and Consolation Lyrics: 1 Immortal love, for ever full,
for ever flowing free,
for ever shared, for ever whole,
a never-ebbing sea.
2 Our outward lips confess the name
all other names above;
love only knoweth whence it came
and comprehendeth love.
3 O warm, sweet, tender, even yet
a present help is he;
and faith has still its Olivet,
and love its Galilee.
4 The healing of his seamless dress
is by our beds of pain;
we touch him in life's throng and press,
and we are whole again.
5 Through him the first fond prayers are said
our lips of childhood frame;
the last low whispers of our dead
are burdened with his name.
6 Alone, O love ineffable,
thy saving name is giv'n;
to turn aside from thee is hell,
to walk with thee is heav'n. Scripture: Luke 8:44 Used With Tune: BISHOPTHORPE

visions of rapture burst on my sight;
angels descending, bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love. [Refrain]

I in my Saviour am happy and blest;
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love. [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:20 Used With Tune: BLESSED ASSURANCE

O For a Faith that Will Not Shrink
Author: William H. Bathurst, 1796-1877 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 688 hymnals Topics: Consolation Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink,
Though pressed by every foe,
That will not tremble on the brink
Of any earthly woe.
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But, in the hour of grief or pain,
Will lean upon its God;
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without:
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt;
4 That bears, unmoved, the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds the scornful smile;
That seas of trouble cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile;
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Illumes up a dying bed:
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this;
And then, what e’er may come,
I’ll taste, e’en now, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Scripture: Luke 17:5 Used With Tune: MANOAH

That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
3 There let my way appear,
Steps unto heav'n;
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
4 Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
5 Or if, on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 119:151 Used With Tune: BETHANY

he doth himself impart,
and for his dwelling and his throne
chooseth the pure in heart.

may ours this blessing be;
give us a pure and lowly heart,
a temple meet for thee. Scripture: Matthew 5:8 Used With Tune: FRANCONIA Text Sources: Vs. 2 and 4: William John Hall's "Psalms and Hymns" (1836), alt.

I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
and feel the promise is not vain,
that morn shall tearless be.

I dare not ask to fly from thee:
I lay in dust life's glory dead,
and from the ground there blossoms red
life that shall endless be. Used With Tune: ST MARGARET
O Love that wilt not let me go
Take up your cross, the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Topics: Comfort/Consolation Lyrics: 1 Take up your cross, the Saviour said,
if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak spirit with alarm;
Christ's strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, heed not the shame,
nor let your foolish pride rebel;
your Saviour once accepted death
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, and follow Christ,
think not till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Used With Tune: HESPERUS (QUEBEC)
Take up your cross, the Saviour said
O for a closer walk with God
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,367 hymnals Topics: Consolation Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God,
a calm and heavenly frame,
a light to shine upon the road
that leads me to the Lamb.
2 Where is the blessedness I knew
when first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed,
how sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
the world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy dove, return,
sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
and drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
whate'er that idol be,
help me to tear it from thy throne
and worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:6-10 Used With Tune: CAITHNESS
O for a closer walk with God
