I Bow My Forehead to the Dust

Author: J. G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I bow my forehead to the dust, I veil mine eyes for shame, And urge, in trembling self-distrust, A prayer without a claim. No off'ring of my own I have, Nor works my faith to prove; I can but give the gifts He gave, And plead His love for love. 2. I dimly guess, from blessings known, Of greater out of sight; And, with the chastened Psalmist, own His judgments too are right. And if my heart and flesh are weak To bear an untried pain, The bruised reed He will not break, But strengthen and sustain. 3. I know not what the future hath Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death His mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea I wait the muffled oar: No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: AMESBURY

While the sun is shining Brightly in the sky, Ere the rays declining Tell that night is high; Ere the shadows falling, Lengthen on our way, Hark! a voice is calling, "Work while it is day." 2. Work, but not in sadness, For your Lord above; He will make it gladness With his smile of love. When that Lord returning Knocketh at the gate, Let your light be burning, Be like men who wait. 3. Happy then the meeting, When you see His face; Welcome then the greeting From the throne of grace, "Good and faithful servant, Of my Father blest, Now your work is ended, Enter into rest."

O shouldst Thou from us sinners Withhold Thy grace to guide, Forever we should wander From Thee, and peace, aside; But Thou to spirits contrite Dost light and life impart, That man may learn to serve Thee With thankful, joyous heart. 3. Our souls--on Thee we cast them, Our only refuge Thou! Thy cheering words revive us, When pressed with grief we bow; Thou bear'st the trusting spirit Upon Thy loving breast, And givest all The ransomed A sweet, unending rest.

Thy Word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns Thy Word, And pierceth flesh and bone. Let it go forth o'er all the earth, To cleanse our hearts within. To show Thy pow'r in Satan's hour And break the might of sin. 3. Thy Word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e'er sink in night; In ev'ry spirit shine, That none may miss heav'n's final bliss, Led by Thy light divine.
