4. Savior, I long to walk Closer with Thee; Led by Thy guiding hand, Ever to be Constantly near Thy side, Quickened and purified, Living for Him who died Freely for me. C. S. Robinson, 1862. 338 S. M. 8 l O Thou who wouldst not have One wretched sinner die, Who diedst Thyself my soul to save From endless misery, Teach me my course to run, While yet I sojourn here, That when Thou comest on Thy throne I may with joy appear. 2. Thou art Thyself the Way, Thyself in me reveal; So shall I pass my life’s short day Obedient to Thy will; So shall I love my God Because He first loved me, And praise Thee in Thy bright abode Through all eternity. Charles Wesley, 1749, a. 339 8, 8, 6, 8, 8, 6 (C. P. M.) May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfil And do on earth our Father’s will As angels do above; Still walk in Christ, the living Way, With all Thy children and obey The law of Christian love. 2. So may we join Thy name to bless, Thy grace adore, Thy power confess, From sin and strife to flee. One is our calling, one our name, The end of all our hopes the same, A crown of life with Thee. 3. Spirit of Life, of Love and Peace, Unite our hearts, our joy increase, Thy gracious help supply. To each of us the blessing give In Christian fellowship to live, In joyful hope to die. Edward Osler, 1836, a. 340 8, 7, 8, 7, 4, 7 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy powerful hand: Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more! 2. Open now the crystal fountain Whence the healing streams do flow, Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield! 3. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death and hell’s Destruction, Land me safe on Canaan’s side: Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee. Wm. Williams, 1745; P. Williams, tr., 1771. 341 S. M. The man is ever blest Who shuns the sinners’ ways, Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorners’ place; 2. But makes the Law of God His study and delight Amid the labors of the day And watches of the night.
