Jesus, my strength, my hope
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 385 hymnals Lyrics:
Jesus, my strength, my hope,
On Thee I cast my care;
With humble confidence look up,
And know Thou hear'st my prayer.
Give me on Thee to wait,
Till I can all things do;
On Thee, almighty to create,
Almighty to renew.
Give me a true regard,
A single, steady aim,
Unmoved by threatening or reward,
To Thee and Thy great Name;
A jealous, just concern
For Thine immortal praise;
A pure desire that all may learn
And glorify Thy grace.
I rest upon Thy word;
The promise is for me;
My succour and salvation, Lord,
Shall surely come from Thee:
But let me still abide,
Nor from my hope remove,
Till Thou my patient spirit guide
Into Thy perfect love.
Amen.

Jesus, my strength, my hope
Love of Jesus, all divine
Author: Francis Bottome Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics:
Love of Jesus, all divine,
Fill this longing heart of mine:
Ceaseless struggling after life,
Weary with the endless strife.
Savior, Jesus, lend thine aid,
Lift thou up my fainting head;
Lead me to my long-sought rest,
Pillowed on thy loving breast.
Thou alone my trust shalt be,
Thou alone canst comfort me;
Only, Jesus, let thy grace
Be my shield and hiding-place;
Let me know thy saving power
In temptation's fiercest hour:
Then, my Savior, at thy side
Let me evermore abide.
Thou hast wrought this fond desire,
Kindled here this sacred fire,
Weaned my heart from all below,
Thee and thee alone to know.
Thou who hast inspired the cry,
Thou alone canst satisfy:
Love of Jesus, all divine,
Fill this longing heart of mine.
Amen.

Love of Jesus, all divine
Hear us, Thou that broodedst
Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.5.6.5.6.5.6.5 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics:
Hear us, thou that broodedst
O'er the wat'ry deep,
Waking all creation
From its primal sleep;
Holy Spirit, breathing
Breath of life divine,
Breathe into our spirits,
Blending them with thine.
Light and Life immortal!
Hear us as we raise
Hearts, as well as voices,
Mingling prayer and praise.
481
When the sun ariseth
In a cloudless sky,
May we feel thy presence,
Holy Spirit, nigh;
Shed thy radiance o'er us,
Keep it cloudless still,
Through the day before us,
Perfecting thy will.
When the fight is fiercest
In the noontide heat,
Bear us, Holy Spirit,
To our Savior's feet;
There to find a refuge
Till our work is done,
There to fight the battle
Till the battle's won.
If the day be falling
Sadly as it goes,
Slowly in its sadness
Sinking to its close,
May thy love in mercy,
Kindling, ere it die,
Cast a ray of glory
O'er our evening sky.
Morning, noon, and evening,
Whensoe'er it be,
Grant us, gracious Spirit,
Quickening life in thee:
Life that gives us, living,
Life of heavenly love,
Life that brings us, dying,
Life from heaven above.
482
Amen.

Even while thy life-blood flows,
Craving pardon for thy foes:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Savior, for our pardon sue,
When our sins thy pangs renew,
For we know not what we do:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Be like thee in heart and deed,
When with wrong our spirits bleed:

Of the thief, who near thee dies,
Promising him Paradise:

And our hope seems far away,
In the darkness be our stay:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Though no light our spirits cheer,
Tell our faith that God is near:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Lead us in our sin and woe
Where the healing waters flow:

All thy Father's will obeyed,
By thy sufferings perfect made:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Save us in our soul's distress,
Be our help to cheer and bless,
While we grow in holiness:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Brighten all our heavenward way
With an ever holier ray,
Till we pass to perfect day:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Jesus, all thy labour vast,
All thy woe and conflict past,
Yielding up thy soul at last:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
When the death shades round us lower,
Guard us from the tempter's power,
Keep us in that trial hour:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
May thy life and death supply
Grace to live and grace to die,
Grace to reach the home on high:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.
Amen.

"O let the children come to Me"
Author: Johan O. Wallin, 1779-1839; G. Mott Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics:
"O let the children come to me,"
Dear Savior, thou commandest:
And for these innocents we see
How thou in welcome standest.
Still goes thy Spirit freely forth,
To gladden souls that need thee,
And thou bestowest heavenly birth,
If they like children heed thee,
For theirs the kingdom is.
By water and the Spirit thou
Our sinful nature cleansest;
Thy word doth show the path to go,
And daily grace thou sendest.
O may thy sanctifying love
Surround us all with blessing;
And may we all thy favour prove
In daily thee confessing,
Abiding close to thee.
314
O soul of man, remember well
The holy Name thou bearest:
Of everything that tongue can tell
That Name is still the dearest.
O child of God, his voice attend,
Live worthy of his choosing;
For he is thy eternal friend:
Beware lest thou be losing
His grace so freely thine.

"O let the children come to Me"
Faithful Shepherd, feed me
Author: Thomas B. Pollock Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics:
Faithful Shepherd, feed me
In the pastures green;
Faithful Shepherd, lead me
Where thy steps are seen.
Hold me fast and guide me
In the narrow way;
So, with thee beside me,
I shall never stray.
Daily bring me nearer
To the heavenly shore;
May my faith grow clearer,
May I love thee more.
Hallow every pleasure,
Every gift and pain:
Be thyself my treasure,
Though none else I gain.
Give me joy or sadness,
This be all my care,
That eternal gladness
I with thee may share.
Day by day prepare me,
As thou seest best,
Then let angels bear me
To thy promised rest.
Amen.

Faithful Shepherd, feed me
Father of heaven, Who hast created all
Author: Albert Knapp; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 10.6.10.6.8.8.4 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics:
Father of heaven, who hast created all
In wisest love, we pray,
Look on this child, who at thy gracious call
Is entering on life's way!
O make it thine, thy blessing give,
That to thy glory it may live,
Father of heaven!
O Son of God, atoning Lord, behold
We bring this child to thee;
Take it, O loving Shepherd, to thy Fold
For ever thine to be:
Defend it through this earthly strife,
And lead it in the path of life,
O Son of God!
O Holy Ghost, who broodest o'er the wave,
Descend upon this child;
Give it undying life, its spirit lave
With waters undefiled;
And make it evermore to be
A child of God, a home for thee,
O Holy Ghost!
312
O Triune God, what thou hast willed is done;
We speak: but thine the might;
This child hath scarce yet seen our earthly sun,
Yet pour on it thy light
Of faith, and hope, and joyful love,
Thou Sun of all below, above,
O Triune God.
Amen.

Father of heaven, Who hast created all
Lord, in Thy presence dread and sweet
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics:
Lord, in thy presence dread and sweet,
Thine own dear Spirit we entreat
His sevenfold gifts to shed
On us who fall before thee now,
Bearing the cross upon our brow
On which our Master bled.
Spirit of Wisdom! turn our eyes
From earth and earthly vanities,
To heavenly truth and love.
Spirit of Understanding true!
Our souls with holy light endue
To seek the things above.
Spirit of Counsel! be our Guide;
Teach us by earthly struggles tried
Our heavenly crown to win.
Spirit of Fortitude! thy power
Be with us in temptation's hour,
To keep us free from sin.
Spirit of Knowledge! lead our feet
In thine own paths secure and sweet,
By angel footsteps trod
Where thou our Guardian true shalt be,
Spirit of gentle Piety!
To keep us close to God.
But most of all, be ever near,
Spirit of God's most holy Fear!
In our hearts' inmost shrine:
Our souls with loving reverence fill,
To worship his most holy will,
All righteous and divine.
344
So, dearest Lord, through peace or strife,
Lead us to everlasting life,
Where only rest may be.
What matter where our lot is cast,
If only it may end at last
In Paradise with thee!
Amen.
