One Sweetly Solemn Thought

Author: Phoebe Cary Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 694 hymnals Matching Instances: 50 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er: Nearer my home am I today Than e’er I’ve been before. 2 Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer my Savior's glorious 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 dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the deep and unknown stream Beyond which shines the light. 5 Father, perfect my trust! Strengthen my power of faith! And let me lean on Christ alone Upon the shore of death.

Chastened Submission

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: What wait I for but Thee? 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; Ere I go hence and be no more, The hand of judgment stay.

Alas, What Mean Those Fears?

Author: John Berridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal 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.
