As Thirsts the Hart for Water Brooks

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 11 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 As thirsts the hart for water brooks, so thirsts my soul, O God for thee; it seeks for God, and ever looks and longs the living God to see, and longs the living God to see. 2 Far from the courts of God, my tears have been my food by night and day, while constantly with bitter sneers, "Where is thy God?" the scoffers say, "Where is thy God?" the scoffers say. 3 With grief I think of days gone by, when oft I trod the hallowed way to Zion, praising God on high with throngs who kept the holy day, with throngs who kept the holy day. 4 O why art thou cast down, my soul, and why so troubled shouldst thou be? Hope thou in God, and him extol, who gives his saving help to me, who gives his saving help to me.

Behold a Stranger's at the door!

Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 606 hymnals Matching Instances: 4 Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger's at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before; Hath waited long, is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill, You treat no other friend so ill. 2 Oh lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes! This matchless kindness to His foes! 3 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very Friend you need; The friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed at Calvary, With garments dyed at Calvary. 4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine; Turn out His enemy and thine, That soul-destroying monster, sin, And let the heavenly Stranger in, And let the heavenly Stranger in. 5 Admit Him, ere His anger burn, His feet departed ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand You'll at His door rejected stand, You'll at His door rejected stand. Amen. Topics: Accepted Time; Gospel Call; Christ Knocking at the Door; Delay Danger of; Procrastination; Striving The Spirit's Used With Tune: BACA

Our wanderings heal, our footsteps keep: We seek thy sheltering fold again, Nor shall we seek thee, Lord, in vain. 4 O God! we praise thee for thy grace: How sweet the smiling of thy face! O let thy grace our hearts control, And fill with love each longing soul. 5 Teach us to know and love thy way; And grant, to life's remotest day, By thine unerring guidance led, Our willing feet thy paths may tread.

O Lord, my soul convicted stands

Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, my soul convicted stands Of breaking all Thy Ten Commands; And on me justly might'st Thou pour Thy wrath in one eternal shower. 2 But thanks to God, its loud alarms Have warned me of approaching harms And now, O Lord, my wants I see; Lost and undone I come to Thee. 3 I know my worthless righteousness Can ne'er Thy broken law redress, Yet in the Gospel plan I see, There's hope of pardon e'en for me. 4 There I hold with wonder, Lord! That Christ hath to Thy Law restored Those honors on th' atoning day, Which guilty sinners took away. 5 Amazing wisdom, power, and love! Displayed to rebels from above! Do Thou, O Lord, my faith increase To love and trust Thy plan of grace.
