Wholly Thine

Thine, most gracious Lord,
O make me wholly Thine —
Thine in thought, in word and deed,
For Thou, O Christ, art mine.

Wholly Thine, my Lord,
To go when Thou dost call;
Thine to yield my very self
In all things, great and small.

Wholly Thine, O Lord,
In every passing hour;
Thine in silence, Thine to speak,
As Thou dost grant the power.

Wholly Thine, O Lord,
To fashion as Thou wilt,
Strengthen, bless and keep the soul
Which Thou hast saved from guilt.

Thine, Lord, wholly Thine,
For ever one with Thee —
Rooted, grounded in Thy love,
Abiding, sure and free.

Wholly Thine, wholly Thine;
Thou hast bought me, I am Thine;
Blessed Savior, Thou art mine;
Make me wholly Thine.

oly:


In His Keeping

When the early morning breaking,
Slumber from my eyelids shaking,
Comes the blessed tho’t with waking,
I am in His keeping.
Day advances, labor bringing,
Care, her mantle ’round me flinging,
Yet midst all my soul keeps singing,
I am in His care.

Sometimes dark clouds hang o’er me,
Not one step I see before me,
Still, my Savior, I adore Thee,
I am in His keeping.
I can trust His hand to guide me,
’Neath His wings He’ll safely hide me,
And no harm can e’er betide me,
I am in His care.

When gentle eventide is nearing,
Light from heaven disappearing,
Still the blessed tho’t so cheering,
I am in His keeping.
Now night’s curtains gather ’round me,
Yet its dangers have not found me,
For His angel guards surround me,
I am in His care.

I am in my Father’s keeping,
I am in His tender care;
Whether waking, whether sleeping,
I am in His care.

He departed from there…to a deserted place.
Matthew 14:13

.......... There is no music in a rest, but there is the making of music in it.​ ..........

​

oly:


Music and Rest

Called aside – From the glad working of thy busy life,
From the world’s ceaseless stir of care and strife,
Into the shade and stillness by thy Heavenly Guide
For a brief space thou hast been called aside.

Called aside – Perhaps into a desert garden dim;
And yet not alone, when thou hast been with Him,
And heard His voice in sweetest accents say:
‘Child, wilt thou not with Me this still hour stay?

Called aside – In hidden paths with Christ thy Lord to tread,
Deeper to drink at the sweet Fountainhead,
Closer in fellowship with Him to roam,
Nearer, perchance, to feel thy Heavenly Home.

Called aside – Oh, knowledge deeper grows with Him alone;
In secret of His deeper love is shown,
And learnt in many an hour of dark distress
Some rare, sweet lesson of His tenderness.

Called aside – We thank thee for the stillness and the shade;
We thank Thee for the hidden paths Thy love hath made,
And, so that we have wept and watched with Thee,
We thank Thee for our dark Gethsemane.

Called aside – Oh, restful thought–He doeth all things well;
Oh, blessed sense, with Christ alone to dwell;
So in the shadow of Thy cross to hide,
We thank Thee, Lord, to have been called aside.

The Lord’s Times

In the early morning hours,
’Twixt the night and day,
While from earth the darkness passes
Silently away…

Then ’tis sweet to talk with Jesus
In thy chamber still
For the coming day and duties
Ask to know His will,

Then He’ll lead the way before you,
Mountains laying low;
Making desert places blossom,
Sweet’ning Marah’s flow,

Would you know this life of triumph,
Victory all the way?
Then put God in the beginning
Of each coming day.

Pleasing or painful, dark or bright,
As best may seem to Thee.

My times are in Thy hand;
Why should I doubt or fear?
My Father’s hand will never cause
His child a needless tear.
My times are in Thy hand,
Jesus, the crucified!
Those hands my cruel sins had pierced
Are now my guard and guide.

My times are in Thy hand,
Jesus, my advocate:
Nor shall Thine hand be stretched in vain,
For me to supplicate.
My times are in Thy hand,
I’ll always trust in Thee;
And, after death, at Thy right hand
I shall forever be.

We Lift Our Hearts in Thanks Today

We lift our hearts in thanks today
For all the gifts of life;
And first, for peace that turns away
The enemies of strife;

And next, the beauty of the earth,
Its flowers and lovely things,
The spring’s great miracle of birth,
With sound of songs and wings;

Then, harvests of its teeming soil
In orchard, croft and field;
But more, the service and the toil
Of those who helped them yield;

And most, the gifts of hope and love,
Of wisdom, truth and right,
The gifts that shine like stars above
To chart the world by night.

As we receive, so let us give,
With ready, generous hand,
Rich fruitage from the lives we live
To bless our home and land.

Now Rest Beneath Night’s Shadow

Now rest beneath night’s shadow the woodland, field, and meadow,
The world in slumber lies, but Thou, my heart, awake thee,
To prayer and song betake thee, let praise to thy creator rise.
The radiant sun hath vanished, His golden rays are banished
By night, the foe of day — but Christ, the sun of gladness,
Dispelling all my sadness, within my heart holds constant sway.

The rule of day is over and shining jewels cover
The heaven’s boundless blue, thus I shall shine in heaven,
Where crowns of gold are given to all who faithful prove and true.
To rest my body hasteth, aside its garments casteth,
Types of mortality, these I put off and ponder
How Christ will give me yonder a robe of glorious majesty.

Lord Jesus, who dost love me, oh, spread Thy wings above me
And shield me from alarm, though evil would assail me,
Thy mercy will not fail me: I rest in Thy protecting arm.
My loved ones, rest securely, for God this night will surely
From peril guard your heads — sweet slumbers may He send you,
And bid His hosts attend you and through the night watch o’er your beds.

Satisfied

I have tasted heaven’s manna, and I want no other bread.
In green pastures I am dwelling, and my hung’ring soul is fed.
At the living fount of waters, I have quenched my thirst for aye.
I am living in God’s glory, and my sins are washed away.

All my life I had a longing for a drink from some clear spring,
That I hoped would quench the burning of the thirst I felt within.
Feeding on the husks around me, till my strength was almost gone,
Longed my soul for something better, only still to hunger on.

Poor I was, and sought for riches, something that would satisfy,
But the dust I gathered round me only mocked my soul’s sad cry.
Well of water, ever springing, Bread of Life so rich and free,
Untold wealth that never faileth, My Redeemer is to me.

Hallelujah! I have found Him whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus satisfies my longings, through His blood the price was paid.
Hallelujah! Yes! I have found Him! Whom my soul so long has craved!
Jesus truly satisfies my longings, through His blood I now am saved.

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus — peace;
The heart of the whirlwind where its roarings cease,
A little home waiting, still and light and warm,
A safe sanctuary from the night and storm.

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus — rest;
A sure place of refuge for the sore-opprest,
A guarded pavilion no device can take,
A strong-walled fortress no assault can shake.

In the world tribulation; but in Jesus — joy;
A full cup of gladness that can never cloy,
A sweet fountain rising out of Marrah’s tide,
A spring of rejoicing that is never dried.

In the world, tribulation; but in Jesus — peace;
A deep, quiet harbor where the high waves cease,
A long-desired haven on a friendly shore,
Where the wild winds of oceans sweep the soul no more.

In the world, tribulation, trials all around,
For on earth no resting and no joys are found;
Let us flee to Jesus where all sorrows cease;
Here alone is gladness, here alone is peace.

In Thankful Remembrance

What shall I render to Thy name or how Thy praises speak?
My thanks how shall I testify, O Lord, Thou know’st I’m weak.
I owe so much, so little can return unto Thy name,
Confusion seizes on my soul, and I am filled with shame.

O Thou that hearest prayers, Lord, to Thee shall come all flesh
Thou hast me heard and answered, my complaints have had access.
What did I ask for but Thou gav’st, what could I more desire?
But thankfulness even all my days I humbly this require.

Thy mercies, Lord, have been so great in number numberless,
Impossible for to recount or any way express.
O help Thy us that seek Thy face to return unto Thee praise
And walk before Thee as they ought, in strict and upright ways.

And chase my fears away.

The wonders of Thy love;
But the full glories of Thy face
Are only known above.

Father of Mercies, in Thy Word

Father of mercies, in Thy Word what endless glory shines!
Forever be Thy Name adored for these celestial lines.

Riches above what earth can grant, and lasting as the mind.

Here the fair tree of knowledge grows and yields a free repast;
And richer fruits than nature shows invite the longing taste.
Amidst these gloomy wilds below, when dark and sad we stray,
Here beams of Heaven relieve our woe, and guide to endless day.

Here springs of consolation rise to cheer the fainting mind,
And thirsty souls receive supplies, and sweet refreshment find.
Here the Redeemer’s welcome voice spreads heavenly peace around
And life and everlasting joys attend the blissful sound.

Oh, may these hallowed pages be our joy by day and night,
And still new beauties may we see, and still increasing light.
Divine Instructor, gracious Lord, O grant our fervent prayer,
Teach us to love Thy sacred Word, and view our Savior there.

Marvelous grace of our loving Lord,

Threaten the soul with infinite loss;
Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold,
Points to the refuge, the mighty cross.

Dark is the stain that we cannot hide.
What can avail to wash it away?
Look! There is flowing a crimson tide,
Brighter than snow you may be today.

Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?

Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;

Grace that is greater than all our sin.
