O Love, I Languish At Thy Stay

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O love, I languish at thy stay, I pine for thee with lingering smart, Weary, and faint through long delay, When wilt thou come into my heart? From sin and sorrow set me free, And swallow up my soul in thee! 2 Come, O thou universal good, Balm of the wounded conscience, come, The hungry, dying spirit’s food, The weary, wandering pilgrim’s home, Haven to take the shipwrecked in, My everlasting rest from sin. 3 Be thou, O love, whatever I want, Support my feebleness of mind, Relieve the thirsty soul, the faint Revive, illuminate the blind, The mournful cheer, the drooping lead, And heal the sick, and raise the dead. 4 Come, O my comfort and delight, My strength and health, my shield and sun, My boast, and confidence, and might, My joy, my glory, and my crown, My Gospel hope, my calling’s prize, My tree of life, my paradise. 5 The secret of the Lord thou art, The mystery so long unknown, Christ in a pure and perfect heart, The name inscribed in the white stone, The life divine, the little leaven, My precious pearl, my present heaven.

He That Has God His Guardian Made

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He that has God his guardian made, Shall, under the Almighty’s shade, Secure and undisturbed abide. Thus to my soul of Him I’ll say, He is my fortress and my stay, My God, in whom I will confide. 2 His tender love and watchful care Shall free thee from the fowler’s snare, And from the noisome pestilence: He over thee His wings shall spread, And cover thy unguarded head; His truth shall be thy strong defense. 3 No terrors that surprise by night Shall thy undaunted courage fright, Nor deadly shafts that fly by day; Nor plague of unknown rise, that kills In darkness, nor infectious ills That in the hottest season slay. 4 A thousand at thy side shall die, At thy right hand ten thousand lie, While thy firm health untouched remains; Thou only shalt look on and see The wicked’s dismal tragedy, And count the sinner’s mournful gains. 5 Because, with well-placed confidence, Thou mak’st the Lord thy sure defense, And on the highest dost rely; Therefore no ill shall thee befall, Nor to thy healthful dwelling shall Any infectious plague draw nigh. 6 For He, throughout thy happy days, To keep thee safe in all thy ways Shall give His angels strict commands; And they, lest thou should’st chance to meet With some rough stone to wound thy feet Shall bear thee safely in their hands. 7 Dragons and asps, that thirst for blood, And lions roaring for their food, Beneath his conquering feet shall lie; Because he loved and honored Me, Therefore, says God, I’ll set him free, And fix his glorious throne on high. 8 He’ll call; I’ll answer, when he calls, And rescue him when ill befalls; Increase his honor and his wealth: And when with undisturbed content His long and happy life is spent, His end I’ll crown with saving health.

Come, O My Soul, The Call Obey

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O my soul, the call obey, Take up the burden of thy Lord! His practice is thy living way, Thy guide His pure unerring Word; The lovely perfect pattern read, And haste in all His steps to tread. 2 What did my Lord from sinners bear? His patience is the rule for me; Walking in Him I cannot err: And lo! the Man of Griefs I see Whose life one scene of sufferings was, Quite from the manger to the cross. 3 Here then my calling I discern, ’Tis written in affliction’s book, My first, and latest lesson learn, For nothing here but sufferings look, I bow me to the will divine, To suffer with my Lord be mine. 4 To suffer as my Lord I come: How did the Lamb His wrongs endure? Clamorous and warm? or meek, and dumb? Did He by force His life secure? His injured innocence defend; Or bear His burden to the end? 5 Did He evade the pain, and shame, Impatient of unjust disgrace? Did He throw off the imputed blame? Did He from spitting hide His face? Did He to man for succor fly? Or offer up Himself, and die? 6 When nature sank beneath her load, Would He the dreadful cup decline? Prostrate, and bruised, and sweating blood, "Father, Thy will be done, not Mine," He speaks, and meets His enemies, And gives them power Himself to seize. 7 The Word, which struck them to the ground, Could it not strike them into hell? Whom all the hosts of Heaven surround, He will not force by force repel; "Put up," He cries, "thy needless sword, Nor stain the meekness of thy Lord." 8 He chides His rash disciple’s zeal, Accepts nor man’s nor angel’s aid: Vouchsafes His wounded foe to heal: The hands that had His murderers made, He stretches out; He lets them bind The hands that could unmake mankind. Doth He in deed or word gainsay, Or ask or struggle to be freed? The lead the speechless Lamb away: To scorn, and pain, and death they lead The speechless Lamb; resigned unto The utmost earth and hell could do. O that I might like Him withstand, Like Him mine innocency clear, Like Him resist the ruffian band, Like Him refuse the cross to bear, Like Him the persecutor fly, Like Him submit to live, and die?
