O Thou, to whose all-searching sight

Author: J. Wesley, 1703-1791; Count N. L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #438 (1917) Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 O Thou, to whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee; O burst these bonds, and set it free! 2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross, Nail my affections to the cross; Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean! 3 If in this darksome wild I stray, Be Thou my Light, be Thou my Way; No foes, no violence I fear, No fraud, while Thou, my God, art near. 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! 6 If rough and thorny be the way, My strength proportion to my day; Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease, Where all is calm, and joy, and peace.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #262 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me; They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me-- Thou art not, like them, untrue. Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials sore may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. 3 Go then, earthly fame and treasure! Come disaster, scorn, and pain! In Thy service pain is pleasure; With Thy favor loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father; I have stayed my heart on Thee: Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 6 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Languages: English Tune Title: WORLD, FAREWELL!

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #424 (1870) Topics: Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Saviour, too; Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like man, untrue: And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends may scorn me; Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh! 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; Oh! 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmix'd with Thee. 4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find, in every station, Something still to do or bear: Think what Spirit dwells within thee! What a Father's smile is thine! What a Saviour died to win thee? Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? Languages: English
