L. M. 530. God our All in All. WESLEYAN. 1 THOU hidden Source of calm repose, 2 Father, my all in all thou art, 3 In want, my plentiful supply; "O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes." 1 O THAT the Lord would guide my ways To keep his statutes still! O that my God would grant me grace To know and do his will! 2 O send thy Spirit down to write Nor let my tongue indulge deceit, 3 From vanity turn off mine eyes; e; 4 Order my footsteps by thy word, 5 Make me to walk in thy commands,- Nor let my head, or heart, or hands, L. M. 532. BOWRING. Trust in God. 1 O LET my trembling soul be still, 2 When, mounted on thy clouded car, Thy light, sweet beaming through thy frown; And, should I faint a moment, then I think of thee, and smile again. 3 So, trusting in thy love, I tread The narrow path of duty on; What though some cherished joys are fled? What though some flattering dreams are gone? Yet purer, brighter joys remain : 7s. M. 533. NEWTON. The Child of God. 1 QUIET, Lord, my froward heart ; 2 What thou shalt to-day provide, 3 As a little child relies On a care beyond his own, Let me thus with thee abide, As my Father, Guard, and Guide. C. M. 534. BULFINCH. Help Thou our Unbelief. 1 FATHER! when o'er our trembling hearts Grant us again to see thy face; 2 When sorrow comes, and joys are flown, And fondest hopes lie dead, And blessings, long esteemed our own, Are now for ever fled, When the bright promise of our spring Is but a withered leaf, Lord, to thy truths still let us cling; 3 And when the powers of nature fail Nor love nor friendship can avail Then, Father, be our closing eyes L. M. 535. TOPLADY. For Perfect Love. 1 O THAT my heart was right with Thee, 2 Father, I dwell in mournful night, 3 O let my prayer acceptance find, C. M. 536. MONTGOMERY Resignation. 1 ONE prayer I have, all prayers in one,When I am wholly thine; Thy will, my God, thy will be done, 2 All-wise, almighty, and all-good, Thy ways, unknown or understood, 3 May I remember that to thee And back, in gratitude, from me 4 Thy gifts are only then enjoyed, 5 And, though thy wisdom takes away, No; let me bless thy name, and say, 6 A pilgrim through the earth I roam, 378 |
