Talk with Us, Lord
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 First Line: Talk with us, Lord, Thyself reveal Lyrics: 1. Talk with us, Lord, Thyself reveal,
While here o’er earth we rove;
Speak to our hearts, and let us feel
The kindling of Thy love.
2. With Thee conversing, we forget
All time, and toil, and care;
Labor is rest, and pain is sweet,
If Thou, my God, art here.
3. Here, then, my God, vouchsafe to stay,
And bid my heart rejoice;
My bounding heart shall own Thy sway,
And echo to Thy voice.
4. Thou callest me to seek Thy face,
’Tis all I wish to seek;
To attend the whispers of Thy grace,
And hear Thee inly speak.
5. Let this my every hour employ,
Till I Thy glory see;
Enter into my master’s joy,
And find my heaven in Thee. Used With Tune: SOHO Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1740. The original version had an additional first stanza that began, Saviour, Who ready art to hear. The current version first appeared in the Wesley Hymn Book, 1780

The Lord Will Happiness Divine
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 124 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. The Lord will happiness divine
On contrite hearts bestow;
Then tell me, gracious God, is mine
A contrite heart or no?
2. I hear, but seem to hear in vain,
Insensible as steel;
If aught is felt, ’tis only pain,
To find I cannot feel.
3. I sometimes think myself inclined
To love Thee if I could;
But often feel another mind,
Averse to all that’s good.
4. My best desires are faint and few,
I fain would strive for more;
But when I cry, My strength renew!
Seem weaker than before.
5. Thy saints are comforted, I know,
And love Thy house of prayer;
I therefore go where others go,
But find no comfort there.
6. Oh make this heart rejoice, or ache;
Decide this doubt for me;
And if it be not broken, break,
And heal it, if it be. Used With Tune: SOHO Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 64

O Holy Ghost the Comforter
Thankless For Favors From On High
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Thankless for favors from on high,
Man thinks he fades too soon:
Though ’tis his privilege to die,
Would he improve the boon.
2 But he, not wise enough to scan
His best concerns aright,
Would gladly stretch life’s little span
To ages, if he might.
3 To ages in a world of pain,
To ages, where he goes
Galled by affliction’s heavy chain,
And hopeless of repose.
4 Strange fondness of the human heart,
Enamored of its harm!
Strange world, that costs it so much smart,
And still has power to charm.
5 Whence has the world her magic power?
Why deem we death a foe?
Recoil from weary life’s last hour,
And covet longer woe?
6 The cause is conscience: conscience oft
Her tale of guilt renews;
Her voice is terrible, though soft,
And dread of death ensues.
7 Then, anxious to be longer spared,
Man mourns his fleeting breath;
All evils then seem light compared
With the approach of death.
8 ’Tis judgment shakes him: there’s the fear
That prompts his wish to stay;
He has incurred a long arrear,
And must despair to pay.
9 Pay! Follow Christ, and all is paid:
His death your peace ensures;
Think on the grave where He was laid,
And calm descend to yours. Used With Tune: SOHO

By inspiration given;
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
To guide our souls to heaven.
2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts,
In this dark vale of tears;
Life, light, and joy it still imparts,
And quells our rising fears.
3 This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. Topics: Scriptures Lamp a ; The Godhead Holy Scripture; Grace Throne; Lamp, the Bible a Used With Tune: SPRINGTIDE
