O For A Faith That Will Not Shrink

Author: W. H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 692 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink Tho' pressed by ev'ry foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe! 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chast'ning rod, But, in the hour of grief and pain, Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That, when in danger, knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; 4 That bears, unmoved, the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile; 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life’s last hour is fled, And with a pure and heav'nly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come, We’ll taste, e’en here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace Faith and Justification Used With Tune: WOLVERHAMPTON

I love to steal awhile away

Author: Phoebe H. Brown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 632 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away From every cumbering care, And spend the hours of setting day In humble, grateful prayer. 2 I love in solitude to shed The penitential tear, And all His promises to plead Where none but God can hear. 3 I love to think on mercies past, And future good implore, And all my cares and sorrows cast On Him whom I adore. 4 I love by faith to take a view Of brighter scenes in heaven; The prospect doth my strength renew, While here by tempests driven. 5 Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er, May its departing ray Be calm as this impressive hour, And lead to endless day.

Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee

Author: J. H. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 243 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, as to Thy dear cross we flee, And plead to be forgiven, So let Thy life our pattern be, And form our souls for heaven. 2 Help us through good report and ill Our daily cross to bear, Like Thee to do our Father’s will, Our brethren’s grief to share. 3 Let grace our selfishness expel, Our earthliness refine, And kindness in our being dwell As free and true as Thine. 4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly, And grief’s dark day come on, We in our turn would meekly cry, "Father, Thy will be done." 5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame, Or brethren faithless prove, Then, like Thine own, be all our aim To conquer them by love. 6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven, O may we lead the pilgrim’s life And follow Thee to heaven.
