Come, O thou Traveler unknown

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #471 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Come, O thou Traveler unknown, Whom still I hold, but cannot see; My company before is gone, And I am left alone with thee; With thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. 2 I need not tell thee who I am, My misery or sin declare; Thyself hast called me by my name; Look on thy hands, and read it there! But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy name, and tell me now. 3 I know thee, Saviour, who thou art, Jesus, the feeble sinner's friend; Nor wilt thou with the night depart, But stay and love me to the end: Thy mercies never shall remove; Thy nature and thy Name is Love. A-men. 4 Yield to me now, for I am weak, But confident in self-despair; Speak to my heart, in blessings speak, Be conquered by my instant prayer. Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, And tell me if thy name is Love. 5 ’Tis Love, ’tis Love, thou died'st for me! I hear thy whisper in my heart! The morning breaks, the shadows flee; Pure universal love thou art; To me, to all, thy mercies move; Thy nature and thy name is Love. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: DAVID'S HARP

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #473 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me; It was not I that found, O Saviour true; No, I was found of thee. 2 Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold; I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea; 'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold As thou, dear Lord, on me. 3 I find, I walk, I love, but O the whole Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee; For thou wert long beforehand with my soul, Always thou lovèdst me.

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #474 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To welcome endless day? 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; He that unto God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace hath made me meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints And weary sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints That sing Jehovah's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But it's enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him.

Happy the man who finds the grace

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #494 (1917) Topics: The Christian Life The Inner Life Lyrics: 1 Happy the man who finds the grace, The blessing of God's chosen race, The wisdom coming from above, The faith that sweetly works by love. 2 Wisdom divine! who tells the price Of wisdom's costly merchandise? Wisdom to silver we prefer, And gold is dross compared to her. 3 Her hands are filled with length of days, True riches, and immortal praise, Riches of Christ on all bestowed, And honour that descends from God. 4 To purest joys she all invites, Chaste, holy, spiritual delights; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her flowery paths are peace. 5 Happy the man who wisdom gains; Thrice happy, who his guest retains; He owns, and shall for ever own, Wisdom, and Christ, and heaven, are one.
