O Lord, how full of sweet content

Author: William Cowper; Jeanne M. B. Guyon Hymnal: BWHT1899 #467 (1899) Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how full of sweet content Our years of pilgrimage are spent! Where'er we dwell, we dwell with Thee, In heaven, in earth, or on the sea. 2 To us remains nor place nor time; Our country is in every clime! We can be calm and free from care On any shore, since God is there. 3 While place we seek, or place we shun, The soul finds happiness in none; But with our God to guide our way, 'Tis equal joy to go or stay. 4 Could we be cast where Thou art not, That were indeed a dreadful lot; But regions none remote we call, Secure of finding God in all. Amen. Topics: Patience; Peace Personal; Pilgrimage Languages: English Tune Title: HURSLEY

I look to Jesus, and the face

Author: Anon. Hymnal: BWHT1899 #468 (1899) Lyrics: 1 I look to Jesus, and the face Of God is turned on me in love, I feel a Father's fond embrace, And all my doubts and fears remove. 2 I look to Jesus, and behold! My heart is lightened of its cares, My love for earthly things grows cold, And pleasure vainly spreads her snares. 3 I look to Jesus, and the sight Of all that He endured for me, Makes e'en my greatest sufferings light, Compared with His deep agony. 4 I look to Jesus when my zeal And faith and love grow dead and cold; Then doth He Calvary reveal, And makes me in His service bold. 5 Thus let me, Lord, while life doth last, In faith look ever up to Thee, And when life's sinful days are past I shall Thy face in glory see. Amen. Topics: Consolation; Faith Power of; Looing unto Jesus; Peace Personal Languages: English Tune Title: ORIEL

When I can read my title clear

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #469 (1899) Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage And fiery darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, and storms of sorrow fall, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all. 4 There I shall bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest; And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.

What cheering words are these!

Author: John Kent Hymnal: BWHT1899 #470 (1899) Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these! Their sweetness who can tell? In time and to eternity, ’Tis with the righteous well. 2 In every state secure, Kept by Jehovah’s eye, ’Tis well with them while life endures, And well when called to die. 3 ’Tis well when joys arise, ’Tis well when sorrows flow; ’Tis well when darkness veils the skies, And strong temptations blow. 4 ’Tis well when on the mount They feast on dying love; And ’tis as well, in God’s account, When they the furnace prove. 5 'Tis well when Jesus calls: "From earth and sin, arise, Join with the hosts of virgin souls, Made to salvation wise!" Amen.

O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: BWHT1899 #471 (1899) Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more! The light of His countenance shineth so bright, That here, as in heaven, there need be no night. 2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear; I tremble no more when I see Jesus near; I know that His presence my safeguard will be, For, "Why are you troubled?" He saith unto me. 3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found, When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round; They bear me away in His presence to be: I see Him still nearer whom always I see. 4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face; I shall know how His love went before me each day, And wonder that ever my eyes turned away. Amen. Topics: Christ Leader; Consolation; Looing unto Jesus; Peace Personal Languages: English Tune Title: PAULINA

When in distress on Him I called He to my rescue came: The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliverance He affords to all Who on His succor trust. 3 O make but trial of His love; Experience will decide How blest they are, and only they, Who in His truth confide; Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then Have nothing else to fear: Make you His service your delight, He'll make your wants His care.
