Jesus, still lead on

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #331 (1918) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won; And, although the way be cheerless, We will follow calm and fearless, Guide us by Thy hand To our fatherland. 2 If the way be drear, If the foe be near, Let no faithless fears o'ertake us; Let not faith and hope forsake us; For through many a woe To our home we go. 3 When we seek relief From a long-felt grief: When temptations come alluring, Make us patient and enduring; Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. 4 Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won: Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand In our fatherland.

God of my life, whose gracious power

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #332 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 God of my life, whose gracious power Through various deaths my soul hath led; Or turned aside the fatal hour, Or lifted up my sinking head: 2 In all my ways Thy hand I own, Thy ruling Providence I see: O help me still my course to run, And still direct my path to Thee. 3 Whither, O whither should I fly But to my loving Savior's breast? Secure within Thine arms to lie, And safe beneath Thy wings to rest! 4 I have no skill the snare to shun, But Thou, O Christ, my Wisdom art! I ever into ruin run: But Thou art greater than my heart. 5 Foolish, and impotent, and blind, Lead me a way I have not known; Bring me where I my heaven may find, The heaven of loving Thee alone. 6 Enlarge my heart to make Thee room; Enter, and in me ever stay: The crooked then shall straight become; The darkness shall be lost in day.

Let us ever walk with Jesus

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #333 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Let us ever walk with Jesus, Follow His example pure, Flee the world, that would deceive us And to sin our soul allure. Ever in His footsteps treading, Body here, yet soul above, Full of faith and hope and love, Let us do the Father's bidding. Faithful Lord, abide with me, Savior, lead, I follow Thee. 2 Let us suffer here with Jesus, To His image e'er conform; Heaven's glory soon will please us, Sunshine follow on the storm. Having sown in tears, in gladness We shall reap. With patient cheer. Let us hope and, void of fear, Bide the turning of our sadness. Christ, I suffer here with Thee, There, oh, share Thy joy with me! 3 Let us also die with Jesus. His death from the second death, From our soul's destruction, frees us, Quickens us with life's glad breath. Let us mortify, while living, Flesh and blood, and die to sin; And the grave that shuts us in Shall but prove the gate to heaven. Jesus, here I die to Thee, There to live eternally. 4 Let us also live with Jesus; Since He's risen from the dead, Must the conquered grave release us. Jesus, Thou art now our Head, We Thy body's cherished members, Where Thou livest, live shall we; Own us evermore to be, Dearest Friend, Thy loved brethren. Jesus, here I live to Thee, Yonder, too, eternally. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English

Come, follow me, the Savior spake

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #334 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Come, follow me, the Savior spake, All in my way abiding; Deny yourselves, the world forsake, Obey my call and guiding; O bear the cross, whate'er betide, Take my example for your guide. 2 I am the Light, I light the way, A virtuous life displaying; Who comes to me and follows, aye, I lead from his dark straying. I am the Way, and well I show How men should sojourn here below. 3 My heart in lowliness abounds, My soul with love is glowing, And from my mouth are words and sounds Of meekness overflowing. My heart, my mind, my strength, my all To God I yield, on Him I call. 4 I teach you to avoid and flee What harms your soul's salvation, Your heart to purify and free From sin's abomination. Your Rock and fortress e'er am I, And lead you to the life on high. 5 But if too hot you find the fray, I, at your side, stand ready; I fight myself, I lead the way, At all times firm and steady. A coward he who will not heed When the chief Captain takes the lead. 6 Who seeks to find His soul's welfare Without me, he shall lose it; But who to lose it may appear, In God shall introduce it. Who bears no cross, nor follows hard, Deserves not me, nor my reward. 7 Then let us follow our dear Lord, Bearing the cross appointed, And bravely cleaving to His Word, In suffering be undaunted. Who has not stood the battle's strain The crown of life shall ne'er obtain. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #335 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.1 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my All shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still mine own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior too: Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn, and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father! I have stayed my heart on Thee; Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 5 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee; What a Father's smile is thine; What a Savior died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close the earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days: Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English

Holy Father! Thou hast taught me

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #336 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.1 Lyrics: 1 Holy Father! Thou hast taught me I should live to Thee alone; Year by year Thy hand hath brought me On through dangers oft unknown. When I wandered, Thou hast found me; When I doubted, sent me light; Still Thine arm has been around me, All my paths were in Thy sight. 2 In the world will foes assail me, Craftier, stronger far than I; And the strife will never fail me, Well I know, before I die. Therefore, Lord, I come, believing Thou canst give the power I need, Through the prayer of faith receiving Strength--the Spirit’s strength, indeed. 3 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm, Follow wholly Thy directing, Thou mine only guard from harm! Keep me from mine own undoing, Help me turn to Thee when tried; Still my footsteps, Father, viewing, Keep me ever at Thy side. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English

Savior! I follow on

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #337 (1918) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Savior! I follow on, Guided by Thee, Seeing not yet the hand That leadeth me; Hushed be my heart and still, Fear I no further ill, Only to meet Thy will My will shall be. 2 Riven the rock for me Thirst to relieve, Manna from heaven falls Fresh every eve; Never a want severe Causeth my eye a tear, But tThou dost whisper near, "Only believe!" 3 Often to Marah's brink Have I been brought; Shrinking the cup to drink, Help I have sought; And with the prayer's ascent, Jesus the branch hath rent-- Quickly relief hath sent, Sweetening the draught. 4 Savior! I long to walk Closer with Thee; Led by Thy guiding hand, Ever to be Constantly near Thy side, Quickened and purified, Living for Him who died Freely for me!

O Thou who wouldst not have

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #338 (1918) Lyrics: 1 O Thou who wouldst not have One wretched sinner die, Who diedst Thyself, my soul to save From endless misery! Teach me my course to run, While yet I sojourn here, That when Thou comest on Thy throne I may with joy appear. 2 Thou art Thyself the Way, Thyself in me reveal; So shall I pass my life's short day Obedient to Thy will; So shall I love my God, Because He first loved me, And praise Thee in Thy bright abode, Through all eternity.

May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #339 (1918) Lyrics: 1 May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill, And do on earth our Father's will, As angels do above; Still walk in Christ, the living Way, With all Thy children, and obey The law of Christian love. 2 So may we join Thy name to bless, Thy grace adore, Thy power confess, From sin and strife to flee: One is our calling, one our name, The end of all our hopes the same, A crown of life with Thee. 3 Spirit of life, of love and peace, Unite our hearts, our joy increase, Thy gracious help supply: To each of us the blessing give, In Christian fellowship to live, In joyful hope to die.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #340 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy powerful hand: Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more! 2 Open now the crystal fountain Whence the healing streams do flow, Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield! 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's Destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side; Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee.
