Give to the Winds Thy Fears
Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 516 hymnals Matching Instances: 11 Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.

He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.
3 Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own His way,
How wise, how strong His hand!
4 Far, far above thy thought
His counsel shall appear,
When fully He the work hath wrought
That caused thy needless fear.

Bring the long-looked for day!
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?

Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"
Do you not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans
With longing for your stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of decay.
4 Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded paradise,
Creation's second birth.

Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to yourself,
Great King of Righteousness! Topics: Advent Season; Hope; New Creation; New Life; Perseverance; Redemption; Reign of God, Kingdom; Second Coming Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earth-born passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest,
Let me thy loving servant be,
And taste thy promised rest.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point thou the heavenly way.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
That, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share thy joy at last.
Amen.

Lord Jesus, think on me
Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
2 I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
3 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure--
it varies with the wind.
4 It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
5 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign.

And Wilt Thou Pardon, Lord
Author: J. M. Neale; Joseph of the Studium Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 And wilt Thou pardon, Lord,
A sinner such as I?
Although Thy book his crimes record,
Of such a crimson dye?

So terrible their fear--
The righteous scarcely can be saved,
And where shall I appear?
3 O Thou, Physician blest,
Make clean my guilty soul;
And me, by many a sins oppressed,
Restore and keep me whole!
4 I know not how to praise
Thy mercy and Thy love;
But deign my soul from earth to raise,
And learn from Thee above.

And Wilt Thou Pardon, Lord
Not all the blood of beasts
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 601 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Not all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace
Or wash away the stain.
2 But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away;
A Sacrifice of nobler name,
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of Thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burden Thou didst bear
When hanging on the cursèd Tree,
And knows her guilt was there.
5 Believing, we rejoice
To see the curse remove;
We bless the Lamb with cheerful voice,
And sing His bleeding love.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Faith Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

In Zion's gloomy hour,
And make her dying graces live
By thy restoring power.

To fervent earnest prayer;
Again may they their vows renew,
Thy blessed presence share.

Through lips of feeble clay,
And hearts of adamant will break,
And rebels will obey.

Oh, listen to our cry;
Oh, come and bring salvation here:
Our hopes on thee rely. Topics: Missions and Growth; Church Missions of; Church Triumph of; Missions; Church Missions of; Church Triumph of; Missions Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
