Lord, I have made Thy Word my choice, My lasting heritage; There shall my noblest powers rejoice, My warmest thoughts engage. 2. I’ll read the histories of Thy love, And keep Thy laws in sight, While through the promises I rove, With ever fresh delight. 3. ’Tis a broad land of wealth unknown, Where springs of life arise, Seeds of immortal bliss are sown, And hidden glory lies. 4.

Behold what witnesses unseen

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen encompass us around, who, once like us, with suffering tried, but now with glory crowned. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, begin the Christian race, and, freed from each encumbering weight, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, who trod affliction's path, Jesus, at once the finisher and author of our faith. 4 He for the joy before him set, so generous was his love, endured the cross, despised the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 Then let our hearts no more despond, our hands be weak no more; still let us trust our Father's love, his wisdom still adore.

Above Me Hangs The Silent Sky

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Above me hangs the silent sky; Around me rolls the sea; The crew is at all at rest, and I Am, Lord, alone with Thee. 2 Go where I may, from all remote, Thou, Lord, art ever near: No secret thought, but Thou canst note; No word, but Thou canst hear. 3 When all around are sunk to sleep, Thy presence here I find; To me Thou walkest o’er the deep, Or speakest in the wind. 4 In winds, and waves, and starry sky; I see Thee present here; And, looking at myself, I cry, Can I still be Thy care? 5 I think of days and dangers past, When I have found Thee nigh; And wonder how Thy love can last To one so vile as I. 6 I think of terrors near at hand, Of judgment yet to come; When I before Thy face must stand And hear my final doom. 7 The sense of all I’ve been and done Would fill me with despair; But to my Savior’s cross I run, And find a refuge there. 8 I know He has the power to aid, I know He has the will: And He who once for sinners bled, Can rescue sinners still. 9 Lord, arm my soul with faith in Thee, And fill my heart with love, My path from sin and danger free, And guide me safe above. 10 And while the waves around me beat, Lord, often thus descend, And grant me here communion sweet With Thee, the sinner’s friend.
