Lo! on a narrow neck of land
Appears in 258 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Lo! on a narrow neck of land,
'Twixt two unbounded seas I stand,
Yet how insensible!
A point of time, a moment's space,
Removes me to that heavenly place,
Or shuts me up in hell.
2 O God, my inmost soul convert,
And deeply on my thoughtful heart
Eternal things impress!
Give me to feel their solemn weight,
And save me, ere it be too late,
By that almighty grace.
3 Before me place, in bright array,
The pomp of that tremendous day
When thou in clouds shalt come
To judge the nations at thy bar:
Oh, tell me, Lord, shall I be there
To meet a joyful doom?
4 Be this my one great business here,
With holy trembling, holy fear,
To make my calling sure!
Assist, O Lord, a feeble worm,
Then shall I all thy will perform,
And to the end endure.

Lo! on a narrow neck of land
Lord, in Thy Presence Dread and Sweet
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Lord, in Thy presence dread and sweet,
Thine own dear Spirit we entreat
His sevenfold gifts to shed
On us, who fall before Thee now,
Bearing the cross upon our brow
On which our Master bled.
2. Spirit of wisdom! turn our eyes
From earth and earthly vanities,
To heavenly truth and love.
Spirit of understanding true!
Our souls with holy light endue
To seek the things above.
3. Spirit of counsel! be our guide;
Teach us by earthly struggles tried
Our heavenly crown to win.
Spirit of fortitude! Thy power
Be with us in temptation’s hour,
To keep us pure from sin.
4. Spirit of knowledge! lead our feet
In Thine own paths secure and sweet,
By angel footsteps trod;
Where Thou our Guardian true shalt be,
Spirit of gentle piety!
To keep us close to God.
5. But most of all, be ever near,
Spirit of God’s most holy fear,
In our heart’s inmost shrine:
Our souls with loving reverence fill,
To worship His most holy will,
All righteous and divine.
6. So, dearest Lord, through peace or strife,
Led us to everlasting life,
Where only rest may be.
What matter where our lot is cast,
If only it may end at last
In paradise with Thee! Used With Tune: ADVENT (Plymouth)

For A Sick Friend In Darkness
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Come, Lord, come quickly from above Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, come quickly from above,
The object of Thy bleeding love
Is sick, and wants Thine aid;
Lover of every helpless soul,
O let Thy pity make him whole,
Whose mind on Thee is stayed.
2 His only trust is in Thy blood,
Thou sinner’s Advocate with God,
Thou all-atoning Lamb;
The virtue of Thy death impart,
Speak comfort to his drooping heart,
And tell him all Thy name.
3 Give Him Thy pardoning love to feel,
And freely his backsliding heal,
Repair his faith’s decay;
Restore the sweetness of Thy grace,
Reveal the glories of Thy face,
And take his sins away.
4 Speak, Lord, and let him find Thee near,
O bid him now be of good cheer,
Declare his sins forgiv’n;
Return, Thou Prince of Peace, return
Thou Comforter of all that mourn,
And take him up to Heav’n. Used With Tune: ADVENT Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems (Bristol, England, Felix Farley, 1749)
