I Will Not Let Thee Go
Author: J. Fawcett Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Thou Coming One, our wants relieve Lyrics: 1. Thou coming One, our wants relieve
In this our evil day;
To all thy tempted followers give
The pow'r to watch and pray.
Long as our fiery trials last,
Long as the cross we bear,
O may our souls on thee be cast,
In all-prevailing pray'r.
2. The pow'r of interceding grace
Give us in faith to claim;
To wrestle till we see thy face,
And know thy hidden name.
Till then thy perfect love impart;
Till thou appear below
Be this the cry of ev'ry heart,
"I will not let thee go."
3. I will not let thee go, unless
Thou tell thy name to me;
With all thy great salvation bless,
And make me all like thee.
Then shall I on the mountain-top
Behold thy open face,
Where faith in sight is swallowed up,
And prayer in joyful praise. Topics: The Home Eternal Waiting for Christ Used With Tune: PERSEVERANCE

My Dearest, Lovely, Native Land
Author: J. Lewis Shuck Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My dearest, lovely, native land,
Where peace and pleasure grow,
Where joy with fairest, softest hand,
Wipes off the tears of woe—
Thy Sabbaths, laws, and happy shores,
And names, I love them well,
And looking o’er those richest stores,
How can I say, Farewell!
2. O sacred home, how sweet thou art,
And all thy scenes how dear!
Thou dost with chords entwine my heart,
And seem’st to say, Stay here!
Thou always didst an angel prove,
My youthful fears to quell,
Thou still art clad with smiles of love,
And can I say, Farewell!
3. My parents, brothers, sisters, friends
My warm affection know,
And love from each my path attends,
And can I from them go?
The thoughts of days that now are past,
No pen or tongue can tell;
Though to my heart they cling so fast,
Yet I must say, Farewell!
4. No sighs of grief my bosom heave,
No tears of anguish roll:
My friends, my all, I gladly leave,
For Jesus cheers my soul.
Ye winds, then waft me far away,
The tale of love to tell;
To country, home, and friends I say,
Farewell, O! yes, farewell! Used With Tune: MISSIONARY'S ADIEU Text Sources: A Compilation of Genuine Church Music, by Joseph Funk, 4th edition, 1847

Sabbath school
Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: How pleasant is the Sabbath school Refrain First Line: Sweet Sabbath school, place dear to me Lyrics: 1 How pleasant is the Sabbath school,
With joy we enter there,
Where little children learn to sing
The hymn of praise and prayer,
Sweet Sabbath school, place dear to me,
Where'er through life I roam,
My heart will often turn to thee,
My childhood's Sabbath home.
2 There sacred songs remind us of
The days when we were young;
When we, like them, at Sabbath school,
The praise of Jesus sung.
Sweet Sabbath school, place dear to me,
Where'er through life I roam,
My heart will often turn to thee,
My childhood's Sabbath home.
3 O holy place! where first we shed
The penitential tear;
Where youthful steps are taught to tread
In paths of peace and prayer.
Sweet Sabbath school, place dear to me,
Where'er through life I roam,
My heart will often turn to thee,
My childhood's Sabbath home.
4 We'll ever love the Sabbath school,
Its toil we'll freely share;
That God will give it great increase,
Shall be our latest prayer.
Sweet Sabbath school, place dear to me,
Where'er through life I roam,
My heart will often turn to thee,
My childhood's Sabbath home.
5 And when our labors here shall end,
We hope in nobler strains
To sing again our Sabbath songs
Where endless Sabbath reigns.
Sweet Sabbath school, place dear to me,
Where'er through life I roam,
My heart will often turn to thee,
My childhood's Sabbath home. Used With Tune: SABBATH SCHOOL

On time's tempestuous ocean wide
Author: I. I. Leslie Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On time's tempestuous ocean wide,
A gallant ship set sail,
And out into the raging deep
She stood before the gale,
Well fitted to abide the storm,
And angry water's foam,
And bring the captives that she bore
Unto her haven home.
2 Long was to be her voyage the time,
Six thousand years almost,
Ere she would make the highland hights,
Along the heavenly coast;
Yet with her sails expanded wide,
On, on, she swiftly flew,
Bearing with ardent hope and love
Her passengers and crew.
3 Oft tempests have assailed her round,
And stormy winds rose high;
And dark have been the mountain waves
That bore her to the sky;
But o'er them all, with steady helm,
She onward pressed her way;
Her compass, true unto the pole,
Guides her to endless day.
4 Long, long, she has been out, and now
She nears her haven home;
A beacon light hangs o'er her bow,
And bids her thither come;
And voices joyful oft are heard,
And music swelling high:
"The land! the land! the land ahead!"
With rapture now they cry.
5 Now soon will she be safely moored
And anchored in the bay;
And all her passengers on shore
Will keep a festal day;
And long their songs of joy will rise
Beneath high heaven's dome;
They've passed the stormy sea of time,
They've reached their haven home. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: PERSEVERANCE
On time's tempestuous ocean wide
What though the angry waves roll high
Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What though the angry waves roll high,
And darkness reigns around?
Let hope be bright in every eye;
Our ship is homeward bound.
What though no moon nor stars appear
Amid the gloom profound?
We will not yield a place to fear;
Our ship is homeward bound.
2 What though the lightnings glare above,
And deafening thunders roar?
Yet with the eye of faith and love
We view the distant shore.
We know that friends will meet us there,
We loved in life before;
And angel forms, all bright and fair,
Line the immortal shore.
3 Then let the fearful thunders roar,
And let the lightnings glare;
We're nearing the eternal shore,
And we are almost there.
Then heave, ye waves, on every side,
And onward, homeward bear
Our fragile bark, 'gainst wind and tide;
For we are almost there.
4 The coward peers, with trembling form,
Into the gloom profound;
But we can smile to view the storm;
Our ship is homeward bound:
And though for us, on time's dark wave
No place of rest be found,
O let our hearts be true and brave;
Our ship is homeward bound.

He Speaks Within
Author: Rev. F. L. Hosmer Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: Go not, my soul, in search of Him Lyrics: 1 Go not, my soul, in search of Him,
Thou wilt not find him there,
Not in the depths of shadow dim,
Nor heights of upper air.
For not in far off realms of space
The Spirit hath its throne;
In ev'ry heart it findeth place,
And waiteth to be known.
2 Tho't answereth alone to tho't,
And Soul with soul hath kin:
The outward God he findeth not
Who finds not God within.
And if the vision come to thee
Reveal'd by inward sign,
Earth will be full of Deity,
And with his glory shine.
3 O gift of gifts! O grace of grace!
That God should condescend
To make thy heart his dwelling place
And be thy daily Friend!
For not in far off realms of space
The Spirit hath its throne;
In ev'ry heart it findeth place,
And waiteth to be known.
