Thy Thoughts Concerning Me
Author: J. T. Nickens Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 First Line: Thy thoughts concerning me, O God Lyrics: 1 Thy thoughts concerning me, O God,
Are precious and divine,
Outnumbering the sands of time,
They assure me I am Thine.
2 When I awake I’m still with Thee,
I am by Thee beset;
Thy providence my path doth guard,
Thy mercy guides my feet.
3 Thy hand is oft upon me laid
When I would go astray,
Thou gently whisper'st in my ear,
"My child, this is the way."
4 There is no word my tongue can frame,
But what is known to Thee,
Else would I lose myself away,
In praises to Thy name.
5 But search me, Lord, and let my thoughts
Reflect Thy sovereign will,
And when I cross the bar, I pray
I may be with Thee still.
Amen. Topics: God the Father His Presence; God Abiding Presence; Holy Scripture Scripture: Psalm 139 Used With Tune: ALLEYNE
Thy Thoughts Concerning Me
Not In Vain
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: It tarries long, and seems to say Lyrics: 1 It tarries long, and seems to say,
God hath forgotten me.
Yet shall it come, and when it comes,
Good shall the answer be.
2 It seemeth sad so long to watch,
Thus tossed on stormy sea;
But day shall break, and when it comes,
Good shall the answer be.
3 So tired of sin and strife, the soul
Cries out in vain to Thee;
Yet not in vain; deliverance comes;
Good shall the answer be.
4 The night is long, the sky is dark,
In fear we bow the knee,
We plead for light; it comes at last—
Good shall the answer be.
5 The battle goes against us, yet,
We fight and will not flee;
Help, Lord! He hears: and when it comes
Good shall the answer be.
6 How long! the widowed Church thus pleads
In hours of agony.
But not in vain; her cry is heard;
Good shall the answer be.
7 How long! Creation cries in bonds,
Still longing to be free!
The groan is heard; and when it comes,
Good shall the answer be. Used With Tune: ALLEYNE Text Sources: Quarterly Journal of Prophecy, Vol. 24, June 1872, p. 208
Not In Vain
Sleep, Weary World
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Sleep, weary world, and take thy rest Lyrics: 1 Sleep, weary world, and take thy rest,
Thy countless eyelids close;
Shut all thy cares within thy breast,
For once in peace repose.
2 Wake, slumbering world, a midnight cry
Comes with almighty breath;
Wake, thy redemption draweth nigh,
Rise from the dust of death.
3 Yon star, those angels, shepherds, kings,
A birth from Heav’n proclaim;
God’s only Son thy ransom brings,
Emanuel is His name.
4 Gather thy children from afar,
Of climes and tongues unknown;
Show them the stable and the star,
Christ’s manger and His throne.
5 There, with the angels, loud and sweet,
All hearts, all voices blend;
There, with the shepherds at His feet,
All knees, all nations bend.
6 There, with the wise men from the east,
Sinners their offerings bring;
Each at this altar be a priest,
And every priest a king.
7 For He shall wash them in His blood,
Shall with His robes array,
And make them kings and priests to God,
Lord Jesus, haste the day. Used With Tune: ALLEYNE Text Sources: The Sunday School Teacher's Magazine, and Journal of Education, Vol. 1 (London: Richard Davis, January 1830)
