We give Thee but Thine own

Author: William Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 484 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be: All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first fruits give. 3 O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs, for whom the Shepherd bled, Are straying from the fold! 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, The lost to God to bring, To teach the way of life and peace,-- It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe Thy Word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er we do for Thine, O Lord, We do it unto Thee.

To Thy temple I repair

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 301 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thy Temple I repair: Lord, I love to worship there; When, within the veil, I meet Christ before the mercy-seat. 2 I through Him am reconciled, I through Him become Thy child: Abba, Father! give me grace In Thy courts to seek Thy face. 3 While Thy glorious praise is sung, Touch my lips, unloose my tongue: That my joyful soul may bless Christ, the Lord my righteousness. 4 While the prayers of saints ascend, God of love, to mine attend; Hear me, for Thy Spirit pleads; Hear, for Jesus intercedes. 5 While I hearken to Thy Law, Fill my soul with humble awe; Till Thy Gospel bring to me Life and immortality. 6 While Thy ministers proclaim Peace and pardon in Thy Name, Through their voice, by faith may I Hear Thee speaking from the sky. 7 From Thy house when I return, May my heart within me burn; And at evening let me say, "I have walked with God to-day."

God of my life, to Thee I call!

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 170 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call! Afflicted at Thy feet I fall; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail! 2 Friend of the friendless and the faint! Where should I lodge my deep complaint? Where but with Thee, whose open door Invites the helpless and the poor? 3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee, And Thou refuse that mourner's plea? Does not the word still fixed remain, That none shall seek Thy face in vain? 4 That were a grief I could not bear, Didst Thou not hear and answer prayer; But a prayer-hearing, answering God Supports me under every load. 5 Fair is the lot that's cast for me; I have an Advocate with Thee; They whom the world caresses most Have no such privilege to boast. 6 Poor though I be, despised, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not; And he is safe, and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

Dear Refuge of my weary soul

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 362 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On Thee, when sorrows rise; On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief, For every pain I feel. 3 Hast Thou not bid me seek Thy face? And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace Be deaf when I complain? 4 No, still the ear of sovereign grace Attends the mourner's prayer: O may I ever find access, To breathe my sorrows there!

Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou very present Aid In suffering and distress; The soul which still on Thee is stayed Is kept in perfect peace. 2 The soul by faith reclined On his Redeemer's breast, Midst raging storms exults to find An everlasting rest. 3 Sorrow and fear are gone, Whene'er Thy face appears; It still the sighing orphan's moan, And dries the widow's tears. 4 It hallows every cross; It sweetly comforts me; Makes me forget my every loss, And find my all in Thee. 5 Peace to the troubled heart, Health to the sin-sick mind; The wounded spirit's Balm Thou art, The Healer of mankind. 6 Jesus, to whom I fly, Doth all my wishes fill; In vain created streams are dry, In have the Fountain still. 7 Stript of my earthly friends, I fend them all in One; And peace, and joy that never ends, And heaven, in Christ alone.

Your harps, ye trembling saints

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 355 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Your harps, ye trembling saints, Down from the willows take; Loud, to the praise of Love divine, Bid every string awake. 2 Though in a foreign land, We are not far from home; And nearer to our house above We every moment come. 3 His grace will to the end Stronger and brighter shine; Nor present things, nor things to come, Shall quench the spark divine. 4 When we in darkness walk, Nor feel the heavenly flame, Then is the time to trust our God, And rest upon His Name. 5 Soon shall our doubts and fears Subside, at His control: His loving-kindness shall break through The midnight of the soul. 6 Blest is the man, O God, That stays himself on Thee! Who wait for Thy salvation, Lord, Shall Thy salvation see. Topics: The Cross and Comfort In Outward Suffering; Easter Season, Fifth Sunday; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: NARENZA

Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!

Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 112 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord! On Thee I fix my trust, Encouraged by Thy holy Word, A feeble child of dust. I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea; And 'tis enough my Saviour died, My Saviour died for me. 2 When storms of fierce temptation beat, And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat, My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words My spirit flies to Thee: Joy to my heart the thought affords, My Saviour died for me. 3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne, When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and anguish torn, A body racked with pain: Ah, what could give the sufferer rest, Bid every murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast That Jesus died for me? 4 And when Thy awful voice commands This body to decay, And life, in its last lingering sands, Is ebbing fast away, Then, though it be in accents weak, And faint and tremblingly, O give me strength in death to speak, "My Saviour died for me."
