HYMNS
Hymn #414
I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love,
I love to tell the story
Because I know ’tis true,
It satisfies my longing
As nothing else can do.
REFRAIN
I love to tell the story,
It is my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.
I love to tell the story,
’Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it,
More wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story,
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God’s own holy word.
REFRAIN
I love to tell the story,
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest,
I love to tell the story,
To sing the new, new song
That is the old, old story
That I have loved so long.
REFRAIN
Hymn #137
I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
REFRAIN
I need Thee, O, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour,
I come to Thee.
I need Thee every hour;
Stay Thou near-by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
REFRAIN
I need Thee every hour;
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promise, Lord,
In me fulfill.
REFRAIN
Hymn #254
O’er waiting harpstrings of the mind
There sweeps a strain,
Low, sad, and sweet, whose measures bind
The power of pain,
And wake a white-winged angel throng
Of thoughts, illumed
By faith, and breathed in raptured song,
With love perfumed.
Then His unveiled, sweet mercies show
Life’s burdens light.
I kiss the cross, and wake to know
A world more bright.
And o’er earth’s troubled, angry sea
I see Christ walk,
And come to me, and tenderly,
Divinely talk.
Thus Truth engrounds me on the rock,
Upon Life’s shore,
’Gainst which the winds and waves can shock,
Oh, nevermore!
From tired joy and grief afar,
And nearer Thee,—
Father, where Thine own children are,
I love to be.
My prayer, some daily good to do
To Thine, for Thee;
An offering pure of Love, whereto
God leadeth me.
