Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
2 When thickly round our footsteps rise
The floods and storms of life,
Grant us thy Spirit, Lord, to still
The dark and fearful strife.
3 Strong in our trust, on thee reposed,
The ocean path we’ll dare,
Though waves around us rage and foam,
Since thou art present there.
415 C. M.
Crying, Abba, Father.
Gal. 4:6.
Father! I wait before thy throne;
Call me a child of thine;
And let the Spirit of thy Son,
Fill this poor heart of mine.
2 There shed thy promised love abroad,
And make my comfort strong;
Then shall I say, my Father, God!
With an unwavering tongue.
416 C. M.
We have left all, etc.
Matt. 19:27.
There is a name I love to hear,
I love to speak its worth;
It sounds like music in mine ear,
The sweetest name on earth.
2 It tells me of a Saviour’s love,
Who died to set me free;
It tells me of his precious blood,
The sinner’s perfect plea.
3 It tells me of a Father’s smile,
Beaming upon his child;
It cheers me through this “little while,”
Through desert, waste, and wild.
4 It bids my trembling heart rejoice;
It dries each rising tear;
It tells me in “a still small voice,”
To trust and never fear.
5 Jesus! the name I love so well,
The name I love to hear!
No saint on earth its worth can tell,
No heart conceive how dear.
6 This name shall shed its fragrance still
Along this thorny road,
Shall sweetly smooth the rugged hill
That leads me up to God.
417 C. M.
The Spirit of God dwelleth within you.
1 Cor. 3:16.
Lord, let thy Spirit penetrate
This heart and soul of mine;
And my whole being with thy grace
Pervade, O Life divine!
2 As this clear air surrounds the earth,
Thy grace around me roll;
As the fresh light pervades the air,
So pierce and fill my soul.
3 As from these clouds drops down in love
The precious summer rain,
So from thyself pour down the flood
That freshens all again.
4 As these fair flowers exhale their scent
In gladness at our feet,
So from thyself let fragrance breathe,
More heavenly and more sweet.
5 Thus life within our lifeless hearts,
Shall make its glad abode;
And we shall shine in beauteous light
Filled with the light of God.
418 S. M. D.
I will write my law in their hearts.
Heb. 8:10.
