O Darkest Woe

O darkest woe! Ye tears, forth flow!
Has earth so sad a wonder?
God the Father’s only Son
Now lies buried yonder.

How Gentle God’s Commands

How gentle God’s commands!
How kind His precepts are!
Come cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust His constant care.

O God, Our Help

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.

The Evening Comes

The evening comes, the sun is sunk and gone,
And all things lie in stillness and in rest.
And thou my soul, for thee one rest alone
Remaineth ever on the Father’s breast.

Come Gracious Spirit, Heavenly Dove

Come, gracious Spirit, heavnly Dove,
With light and comfort from above;
Be Thou our Guardian, Thou our Guide,
O’er every thought and step preside.

Sun of my Soul, Thou Savior Dear

Sun of my soul! Thou Savior dear,
It is not night if Thou be near;
Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Majesty Divine

Full of glory, full of wonders, Majesty Divine!
Mid thine everlasting thunders, how Thy lightnings shine!
Shoreless ocean, who can sound Thee?
Thine eternity is round Thee, Majesty Divine!

Jesus, to Thee Our Hearts we Lift

Jesus, to Thee our hearts we lift;
May all our hearts with love o’erflow
With thanks for Thy continued gift
That still Thy precious name we know,
Retain our sense of sin forgiven,
And wait for all our inward heaven.
