Take Time to be Holy

In the Secret of His Presence

Oh, how precious are the lessons which I learn at Jesus' side! Earthly cares can never vex me, neither trials lay me low; For when Satan comes to tempt me, to the secret place I go, to the secret place I go. 2 When my soul is faint and thirsty, 'neath the shadow of His wing There is cool and pleasant shelter, and a fresh and crystal spring; And my Saviour rests beside me, as we hold communion sweet: If I tried, I could not utter what He says when thus we meet, what He says when thus we meet. 3 Only this I know: I tell Him all my doubts, my griefs and fears; Oh, how patiently He listens! and my drooping soul He cheers: Do you think He ne'er reproves me? what a false friend He would be, If He never, never told me of the sins which He must see, of the sins which He must see. 4 Would you like to know the sweetness of the secret of the Lord? Go and hide beneath His shadow: this shall then be your reward; And when o'er you leave the silence of that happy meeting place, You must mind and bear the image of the Master in your face, of the Master in your face.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J.

Lord, give us grace, that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Topics: Church Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: HHNO1908 #200 (1908) Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though ev'ry prospect pleases, And only man is vile; In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen, in His blindness, Bows down to wood and stone! 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high,-- Shall we, to men benighted, The lamp of life deny? Salvation! oh, salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learn'd Messiah's name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss return to reign!
