Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
4 When rising floods my soul o’erflow,
When sinks my heart in waves of woe—
Jesus, thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head and cheer my heart.
5 Saviour, where’er thy steps I see,
Dauntless, untired, I follow thee;
O, let thy hand support me still,
And lead me to thy holy hill.
810 L. M.
That they be with me where I am.
John 17:24.
Let me be with thee where thou art,
My Saviour, my eternal Rest!
Then only will this longing heart
Be fully and for ever blest!
2 Let me be with thee where thou art,
Where spotless saints thy name adore;
Then only will this sinful heart
Be evil and defiled no more!
3 Let me be with thee where thou art,
Where none can die, where none remove;
There neither death nor life will part
Me from thy presence and thy love!
811 C. M.
A new heart.
O for a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free,
A heart that always feels the blood
So freely shed for me.
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek,
My great Redeemer’s throne,
Where only Christ is heard to speak
Where Jesus reigns alone.
3 O for a lowly, contrite heart,
Confiding, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From him that dwells within.
4 A heart in ev’ry thought renewed,
And full of love divine,
Perfect and right, and pure and good,
A copy, Lord, of thine.
5 Thy Spirit, gracious Lord, impart;
Direct me from above;
May thy dear name be near my heart,
That dear, best name is Love.
812 C. M.
Longing for Heaven.
Sweet land of rest, for thee I sigh,
When will the moment come,
When I shall lay my armor by,
And dwell in peace at home?
Chorus.—O, this is not my home,
O, this is not my home:
This world’s a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home.
2 No tranquil joy on earth I know,
No peaceful, sheltering dome;
This world’s a wilderness of woe,
This world is not my home.
3 When by affliction sharply tried,
I view the gaping tomb,
Although I dread death’s chilling tide,
Yet still I sigh for home.
4 Weary of wandering round and round
This vale of sin and gloom,
I long to quit the unhallowed ground,
And dwell with Christ at home.
813 C. M.
The true riches.
You glittering toys of earth, adieu,
A nobler choice be mine;
A real prize attracts my view—
A treasure all divine.
2 Away, unworthy of my cares,
You specious baits of sense;
Inestimable worth appears,
The pearl of price immense!
