Earnest Longings
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #320 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Christians Conflicts First Line: Purer yet, and purer Lyrics: 1 Purer yet, and purer
I would be in mind,
Dearer yet and dearer
Every duty find;
Hoping still and trusting
God without a fear,
Patiently believing
He will make all clear.
2 Calmer yet and calmer
Trial bear and pain,
Surer yet and surer
Peace at last to gain;
Suffering still and doing,
To his will resigned,
And to God subduing
Heart and will and mind.
3 Higher yet and higher
Out of clouds and night,
Nearer yet and nearer
Rising to the light
Oft these earnest longings
Swell within my breast,
Yet their inner meaning
Ne'er can be expressed. Languages: English
Earnest Longings
The closer walk
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: Laudes Domini #289 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Christians Conflicts First Line: Oh, for a closer walk with God Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!
2 Where is the blessedness I know
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?
3 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
4 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest!
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
5 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
6 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb. Languages: English Tune Title: HERMON

My longing soul is stirred;
Oh, give me a diviner name!
Call me thy servant, Lord!
2 No longer would my soul be known
As uncontrolled and free;
Oh, not mine own, oh, not mine own!
Lord, I belong to thee!
3 Thy servant, me thy servant choose;
Naught of thy claim abate!
The glorious name I would not lose,
Nor change the sweet estate.
4 In life, in death, on earth, in heaven,
This is the name for me!
The same sweet style and title given
Through all eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: SERENITY

"Troubleth at my word"
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #291 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Christians Conflicts First Line: Oh, for that tenderness of heart Lyrics: 1 Oh, for that tenderness of heart,
That bows before the Lord;
That owns how just and good thou art,
And trembles at thy word.
2 Oh, for those humble, contrite tears,
Which from repentance flow;
That sense of guilt which, trembling, fears
The long-suspended blow!
3 Saviour! to me, in pity give,
For sin, the deep distress;
The pledge thou wilt, at last, receive,
And bid me die in peace.
4 Oh, fill my soul with faith and love,
And strength to do thy will;
Raise my desire and hopes above,
Thyself to me reveal. Languages: English

When heated in the chase,
So longs my soul, O God, for thee,
And thy refreshing grace.
2 For thee, my God the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine;
Oh, when shall I behold thy face,
Thou Majesty divine!
3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Trust God; who will employ
His aid for thee, and change these sighs
To thankful hymns of joy.
4 I sigh to think of happier days,
When thou, O Lord! wast nigh;
When every heart was tuned to praise,
And none more blest than I.
5 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still; and thou shalt sing
The praise of him who is thy God,
Thy health's eternal spring. Languages: English Tune Title: CHERITH

"I shall be with Him"
Author: Richard Baxter Hymnal: Laudes Domini #293 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Christians Conflicts First Line: Lord, it belongs not to my care Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live;
To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give.
2 If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey;
If short, yet why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?
3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
Than he went through before;
No one into his kingdom comes,
But through his opened door.
4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet,
Thy blessed face to see;
For if thy work on earth be sweet,
What will thy glory be!
5 My knowledge of that life is small;
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with him. Languages: English

"My repentings are kindled"
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Laudes Domini #294 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Christians Conflicts First Line: Depth of mercy! can there be Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! can there be
Mercy still reserved for me?
Can my God his wrath forbear?
Me, the chief of sinners, spare?
2 I have long withstood his grace;
Long provoked him to his face:
Would not hearken to his calls;
Grieved him by a thousand falls.
3 Kindled his relenting are;
Me he now delights to spare;
Cries, How shall I give thee up?
Lets the lifted thunder drop.
4 There for me the Saviour stands;
Shows his wounds and spreads his hands!
God is love! I know, I feel:
Jesus weeps, and loves me still.
Languages: English Tune Title: SEYMOUR

"Where is the blessedness"
Author: John Newton Hymnal: Laudes Domini #295 (1890) Topics: Christians Conflicts; Christians Conflicts First Line: Sweet was the time when first I felt Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt
The Saviour's pardoning blood
Applied to cleanse my soul from guilt,
And bring me home to God.
2 Soon as the morn the light revealed,
His praises tuned my tongue;
And, when the evening shade prevailed,
His love was all my song.
3 In prayer, my soul drew near the Lord,
And saw his glory shine;
And when I read his holy word,
I called each promise mind.
4 Now, when the evening shade prevails,
My soul in darkness mourns;
And when the morn the light reveals,
No light to me returns.
5 Rise, Saviour! help me to prevail,
And make my soul thy care;
I know thy mercy cannot fail,
Let me that mercy share. Languages: English Tune Title: COOLING

What snares beset my way!
To heaven, oh, let me lift mine eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears!
My weak resistance, ah, how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
3 O gracious God! in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid;
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Though trembling and afraid.
4 Increase my faith, increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up,
Or soon my strength will fail.
5 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way,
And bid the tempter flee!
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and thee. Languages: English

A nearness to my God,
Then would my hours glide sweet away
While leaning on his word.
2 Lord, I desire with thee to live
Anew from day to day,
In joys the world can never give,
Nor ever take away.
3 Blest Jesus, come and rule my heart,
And make me wholly thine,
That I may never more depart,
Nor grieve thy love divine.
4 Thus, till my last, expiring breath,
Thy goodness I'll adore;
And when my frame dissolves in death,
My soul shall love thee more. Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN
