It Singeth Low in Every Heart

Author: John W. Chadwick Appears in 64 hymnals Matching Instances: 10 Lyrics: 1. It singeth low in every heart, We hear it each and all; A song of those who answer not, However we may call. They throng the silence of the breast; We see them as of yore; The kind, the true, the brave, the sweet, Who walk with us no more. 2. ’Tis hard to take the burden up, When these have laid it down; They brightened all the joy of life, They softened every frown. But, Oh, ’tis good to think of them When we are troubled sore; Thanks be to God that such have been, Though they are here no more. 3. More home-like seems the vast unknown Since they have entered there; To follow them were not so hard, Wherever they may fare. They cannot be where God is not, On any sea or shore; Whate’er betides, Thy love abides, Our God, forevermore. Used With Tune: AULD LANG SYNE

What Time I am Afraid

Author: Miss J. H. Johnston Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: Sometimes the sky is overcast Lyrics: 1 Sometimes the sky is overcast, I fear to lose my way; Until the storm be over-past, O keep me safe, I pray. In darkness, danger, and in doubt, My heart is sore dismayed, But "I will trust in Thee, O Lord, What time I am afraid." 2 Accusing Conscience, like a flame, Within my spirit burns, The tempter speaks of wrath and shame, My soul in anguish turns. To Him whose blood atones for me, On whom my heart is stayed, For "I will trust in Thee O Lord, What time I am afraid." 3 From all the unknown future days, My timid heart recoils, But known to God are all my ways, And all my cares and toils. The wisdom, pow'r, and might are Thine, But mine the promised aid, And "I will trust in Thee O Lord, What time I am afraid." 4 When twilight shadows softly fall, And night comes on apace, In life and death, O Lord of all, I would behold Thy face. The final hour, Oh! let me meet In peace, and undismayed, For "I will trust in Thee O Lord, What time I am afraid." Scripture: Psalm 56:3 Used With Tune: SCOTCH

What vessel are you sailing in?

Author: Anon. Appears in 58 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 What vessel are you sailing in? Declare to us the same. Our vessel in the church of God, And Christ our captain's name, And Christ our captain's name. Our vessel is the church of God, And Christ our captain's name. 2 And are you not afraid some storm Your bark will overwhelm? No, bless the Lord, we need not fear; Our Father's at the helm. 3 Our compass is the sacred word; Our anchor, blooming hope; The love of God our maintop sail, And faith our cable rope. 4 The sun is up, the clouds are gone, The heavens above are clear; The city bright, appears in sight; We're getting round the pier. 5 And when we all are landed safe On the celestial plain, Our song shall be, "Worthy's the Lamb For rebel sinners slain."
