Seeking Water, Seeking Shelter

Author: Eric Routley Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #101 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Seeking water, seeking shelter, gasps the thirsty, weary deer; so my soul in days of trouble longs for God's refreshments here. In this stressful course of life, in its loneliness and strife, "When," say I, "will God deliver; is his mercy gone forever?" 2 No! he is my soul's true fortress; though I hear those voices wild-- "Where's your God? why has he left you?-- he will not forget his child. Come then, be my advocate, come, your servant vindicate; then no more in fruitless sorrow shall I face a barren morrow. 3 Send your light and trust to lead me; then the path shall I discern to my father's house, where welcome waits the prodigal's return. Then new songs shall fil my days, ev'ry moment full of praise, with the faithful who surround him, with the blest ones who have found him. 4 So, my soul, why such disquiet? why such mourning, why such fear? Day already breaks on darkness, God has sought you, God is near. Hope in God and you shall live; all delight he waits to give; peace and power and ev'ry blessing you shall know, this faith confessing.

Every hour that I am feeling Pains of body and of mind: Should some evil thought rush in, And provoke my soul to sin, Tho'ts of Thy deep wounds, from sinning Keep me in its first beginning. 2 Should some lust or sharp temptation Prove too strong for flesh and blood, Lo! I think upon Thy passion, And the breach is soon made good: Or should Satan press me hard, Thinking I am off my guard, Christ, I say, for me was wounded, And the tempter flees confounded. 3 Yes, whate're may pain or grieve me, Thy dear wounds can make me whole; When my heart sinks, they revive me, Life pours in upon my soul: May Thy comfort render sweet Every bitter cup I meet; Thou who by Thy death and passion Hast procured my soul's salvation. 4 Well of life, if Thou art nigh me, Springing deep within my heart, When the last dread hour shall try me, I can feel no inward smart: If I hide myself in Thee, Not a foe can injure me; He shall overcome who hideth In Thy wounds, and there abideth.

Over Kedron Jesus Treadeth

Author: Thomas Kingo; J. Jeffery Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #101 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Over Kedron Jesus treadeth To His passion for us all; Ev'ry human eye be weeping, Tears of bitter grief let fall! Round His spirit flock the foes, Place their shafts and bend their bows, Aiming at the Saviour solely, While the world forsakes Him wholly. 2 See Him anguish-stricken falling Prostrate, and with struggling breath, Three times on His Father calling, Praying that the bitter death And the cup of doom may go: Still He cries, in all His woe: "Not My will, but Thine, O Father," And the angels round Him gather. 3 See how, in that hour of darkness, Battling with the evil power, Agonies untold assail Him, On His soul the arrows shower; All the garden flowers are wet With the drops of bloody sweat From His anguished frame distilling-- Our redemption thus fulfilling.
