He Leadeth MeHe leadeth me, O blessd thought!

O words with heavnly comfort fraught!

Whateer I do, whereer I be

Still tis Gods hand that leadeth me.

Refrain

He leadeth me, He leadeth me,

By His own hand He leadeth me;

His faithful follower I would be,For by His hand He leadeth me.

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,

Sometimes where Edens bowers bloom,

By waters still, over troubled sea,Still tis His hand that leadeth me.

Refrain

Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,

Nor ever murmur nor repine;

Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Dear Lord and Father of mankind,

Forgive our foolish ways;

Reclothe us in our rightful mind,

In purer lives Thy service find,

In deeper reverence, praise.

In simple trust like theirs who heard,

Beside the Syrian sea,

The gracious calling of the Lord,

Let us, like them, without a word,

Rise up and follow Thee.

O Sabbath rest by Galilee,

O calm of hills above,Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee

The silence of eternity,

Interpreted by love!

With that deep hush subduing allOur words and works that drown

7/31/2019 Hymn Cards 2011 2012

4/24

The tender whisper of Thy call,

As noiseless let Thy blessing fallAs fell Thy manna down.

Drop Thy still dews of quietness,

Till all our strivings cease;

Take from our souls the strain and

stress,

And let our ordered lives confess

The beauty of Thy peace.

Breathe through the heats of our

desire

Thy coolness and Thy balm;

Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;

Speak through the earthquake, wind,

and fire,

O still, small voice of calm.

Words: John G. Whittier, in the AtlanticMonthly, April 1872

He Hideth My Soul

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,

A wonderful Savior to me;

He hideth my soul in the cleft of therock, Where rivers of pleasure I see.

Refrain

He hideth my soul in the cleft of therock That shadows a dry, thirsty land;

He hideth my life with the depths of

His love, And covers me there with

His hand, And covers me there with

His hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,

He taketh my burden away;

He holdeth me up, and I shall not be

moved, He giveth me strength as my

day.

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In a believers ear!

It soothes his sorrows, heals his

wounds,

And drives away his fear.

It makes the wounded spirit whole,

And calms the troubled breast;Tis manna to the hungry soul,

And to the weary, rest.

Dear name, the rock on which I build,

My shield and hiding place,My never failing treasury, filled

With boundless stores of grace!

By Thee my prayers acceptance gain,

Although with sin defiled;

Satan accuses me in vain,

And I am owned a child.

Jesus! my shepherd, husband, friend,

O prophet, priest and king,

My Lord, my life, my way, my end,

Accept the praise I bring.

Weak is the effort of my heart,

And cold my warmest thought;

But when I see Thee as Thou art,Ill praise Thee as I ought.

Till then I would Thy love proclaim

With every fleeting breath,

And may the music of Thy nameRefresh my soul in death!

What A Friend We Have in Jesus

What a Friend we have in Jesus, all

our sins and griefs to bear!

What a privilege to carry everything toGod in prayer!

O what peace we often forfeit, O what

needless pain we bear,

All because we do not carry everything

to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations? Is

there trouble anywhere?

We should never be discouraged; takeit to the Lord in prayer.

Can we find a friend so faithful who

will all our sorrows share?

Jesus knows our every weakness; take

it to the Lord in prayer.

10/24

Are we weak and heavy laden,

cumbered with a load of care?Precious Savior, still our refuge, take

it to the Lord in prayer.

Do your friends despise, forsake you?

Take it to the Lord in prayer!In His arms Hell take and shield you;

you will find a solace there.

Blessd Savior, Thou hast promised

Thou wilt all our burdens bearMay we ever, Lord, be bringing all to

Thee in earnest prayer.

Soon in glory bright unclouded there

will be no need for prayerRapture, praise and endless worship

will be our sweet portion there.

Ill Praise My Maker

Ill praise my maker while Ive breath,

And when my voice is lost in death,

Praise shall employ my nobler powers;

My days of praise shall neer be past,

While life, and thought, and being last, Orimmortality endures.

Why should I make a man my trust?

Princes must die and turn to dust;

Vain is the help of flesh and blood:Their breath departs, their pomp, and

power, And thoughts, all vanish in an

hour, Nor can they make their promise

good.

Happy the man whose hopes relyOn Israels God: He made the sky,

And earth, and seas, with all their train:

His truth for ever stands secure;

He saves thoppressed, He feeds the

7/31/2019 Hymn Cards 2011 2012

12/24

poor, And none shall find His promise

vain.

The Lord has eyes to give the blind;

The Lord supports the sinking mind;

He sends the laboring conscience peace;

He helps the stranger in distress, Thewidow, and the fatherless, And grants the

prisoner sweet release.

He loves His saints, He knows them well,

But turns the wicked down to hell; ThyGod, O Zion! ever reigns:

Let every tongue, let every age,

In this exalted work engage;

Praise Him in everlasting strains.

Ill praise Him while He lends me breath,

And when my voice is lost in death, Praise

shall employ my nobler powers; My days

of praise shall neer be past, While life,

and thought, and being last, Orimmortality endures.

His child and forever I am.

Refrain

Redeemed, redeemed,

Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;Redeemed, redeemed,

His child and forever I am.

With me doth continually dwell.

The King in whose law I delight;

And soon, with the spirits made perfect,At home with the Lord I shall be.

Im Not Ashamed to Own My Lord

Im not ashamed to own my Lord,

Or to defend His cause; Maintain the

honor of His Word, The glory of His

cross.

Jesus, my God! I know His name,

His name is all my trust; Nor will He

put my soul to shame, Nor let my hope

be lost.

Firm as His throne His promise

stands, And He can well secure

What Ive committed to His hands

Till the decisive hour.

Then will He own my worthless name

Before His Fathers face, And in the

new Jerusalem Appoint my soul a

place.

Sweet Hour of Prayer

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of

prayer! That calls me from a world of

care, And bids me at my Fathers

throne Make all my wants and wishes

known.In seasons of distress and grief,

My soul has often found relief

And oft escaped the tempters snare

By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of

prayer! The joys I feel, the bliss I

share, Of those whose anxious spirits

burn With strong desires for thyreturn! With such I hasten to the place

Where God my Savior shows His face,

And gladly take my station there,

And wait for thee, sweet hour ofprayer! Sweet hour of prayer! sweet

hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my

petition bear To Him whose truth andfaithfulness Engage the waiting soul

to bless. And since He bids me seek

His face, Believe His Word and trust

His grace, Ill cast on Him my everycare, And wait for thee, sweet hour of

prayer!

Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of

prayer! May I thy consolation share,Till, from Mount Pisgahs lofty height,

I view my home and take my flight:

This robe of flesh Ill drop and rise

To seize the everlasting prize;And shout, while passing through the

air, Farewell, farewell, sweet hour of

prayer!

Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee;

Let the water and the blood,

From Thy wounded side which flowed,

Be of sin the double cure;Save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labor of my hands

Can fulfill Thy laws demands;

Could my zeal no respite know,

Could my tears forever flow,

All for sin could not atone;

Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,

Simply to the cross I cling;

Naked, come to Thee for dress;

Helpless look to Thee for grace;

Foul, I to the fountain fly;

Wash me, Savior, or I die.

7/31/2019 Hymn Cards 2011 2012

While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyes shall close in death,[originallyWhen my eye-strings break

in death]

When I soar to worlds unknown,

See Thee on Thy judgment throne,Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide myself in Thee.

I Stand Amazed

I stand amazed in the presence

Of Jesus the Nazarene,

And wonder how He could love me,

A sinner, condemned, unclean.

Refrain

O how marvelous! O how wonderful!

And my song shall ever be:

O how marvelous! O how wonderful!Is my Saviors love for me!

For me it was in the garden

He prayed: Not My will, but Thine.

He had no tears for His own griefs,

But sweat drops of blood for mine.

In pity angels beheld Him,And came from the world of light

His face I at last shall see,

Twill be my joy through the ages

The Rock That is Higher Than I

Oh! sometimes the shadows are deep,

And rough seems the path to the goal,

And sorrows, sometimes how theysweep

Like tempests down over the soul.

To the Rock that is higher than I

O then to the Rock let me fly

And sometimes how weary my feet!

But toiling in lifes dusty way,

The Rocks blessd shadow, how

sweet!
