Alas, What Mean Those Fears?
Author: John Berridge Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13702 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Alas, what mean those fears Lyrics: 1 Alas, what mean those fears,
That dry and withered look;
That head besprinkled with gray hairs,
And hands with palsy shook?
2 Thy heart once all a flame,
Fed well on Jesus’ store,
But starved now, and sick, and lame,
Thou seemest sadly poor.
3 Be sure thou hast been slack,
And settling on thy lees,
The Bible cast behind thy back,
And seldom on thy knees.
4 To Jesus thou art grown
A stranger once again;
No wonder He has made thee moan,
And look like any Cain.
5 Come, lift the feeble hand,
And shake the drowsy mind,
Gird up thy loins for Canaan’s land,
And fast thy sandals bind.
6 To Jesus yet return,
And Jesus will receive;
Awhile He makes the rambler mourn,
And then His peace will give.

Alas, What Mean Those Fears?
What Wait I for but Thee?
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7298 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. What wait I for but Thee?
My hope is in Thy name;
From all my sins deliver me,
Nor put my soul to shame.
2. I suffered silently,
Because Thy will is best;
Remove Thy heavy stroke from me,
For I am sore distressed.
3. When sin Thou dost repay
And chasten and restrain,
Man’s beauty quickly fades away;
Yea, human life is vain.
4. O Lord, regard my fears,
And answer my request;
Turn not in silence from my tears,
But give the mourner rest.
5. I am a stranger here,
Dependent on Thy grace,
A pilgrim, as my fathers were,
With no abiding place.
6. O spare me and restore
My failing strength, I pray;
E’er I go hence and be no more,
The hand of judgment stay. Languages: English Tune Title: DULCE DOMUM

One Sweetly Solemn Thought
Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5235 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er and o’er;
Nearer to my home today am I
Than e’er I’ve been before.
2. Nearer my Father’s house,
Where many mansions be;
Nearer today, the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea.
3. Nearer the bound of life
Where burdens are laid down;
Nearer to leave the heavy cross,
Nearer to gain the crown.
4. But lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is the deep and unknown stream
To be crossed ere we reach the light.
5. Closer and closer my steps
Come to the dread abysm,
Closer death to my lips
Presses the awful chrism.
6. Feel as I would my feet,
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be, I’m nearer home—
Nearer now than I think.
7. Father, perfect my trust!
Strengthen my power of faith!
Nor let me stand, at last, alone
Upon the shore of death.
8. Be Thee near when my feet
Are slipping over the brink;
For it may be I’m nearer home,
Nearer now than I think. Languages: English Tune Title: DULCE DOMUM
