4 To thy blessed will resign'd,
And stay'd on that alone,
I thy perfect strength shall find,
Thy faithful mercies own ;
Compass'd round with songs of praise,
My all to my Redeemer give ;
Spread thy miracles of grace,
And to thy glory live.
For Believers Suffering. SW)
HYMN 336. 7's8r6's.
FATHER, in the Name I pray
Of thy incarnate Love ;
Humbly ask, that as my day
My suffering strength may prove :
When my sorrows most increase,
Let thy strongest joys be given :
Jesus, come with my distress,
And agony is heaven !
2 Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
For good remember me !
Me, whom thou hast caused to trust
For more than life on thee :
With me in the fire remain,
Till like burnish'd gold I shine,
Meet, through consecrated pain,
To see the Face Divine.
HYMN 337. l. m.
1 INTERNAL Beam of Light Divine,
*-^ Fountain of unexhausted love,
In whom the Father's glories shine,
Through earth beneath, and heaven above
2 Jesus, the weary wanderer's rest,
Give me thy easy yoke to bear ;
With steadfast patience arm my breast,
With spotless love, and lowly fear.
3 Thankful I take the cup from thee,
Prepared and mingled by thy skill,
Though bitter to the taste it be,
Powerful the wounded soul to heal.
3^20 For Believers Suffering
4 Be thou, O Rock of Ages, nigh !
So shall each murmuring thought be gone ;
And grief, and fear, and care, shall fly,
As clouds before the mid-day sun.
5 Speak to my warring passions, " Peace ! "
Say to my trembling heart, " Be still ! "
Thy power my strength and fortress is,
For all things serve thy sovereign will.
6 O death! where is thy sting? Where now
Thy boasted victory, O grave ?
Who shall contend with God ? or who
Can hurt whom God delights to save ?
HYMN 338. l. m.
1 nTHOU Lamb of God, thou Prince of Peace,
J- For thee my thirsty soul doth pine ;
My longing heart implores thy grace ;
O make me in thy likeness shine !
2 With fraudless, even, humble mind,
Thy will in all things may I see ;
In love be every wish resign'd,
And hallow'd my whole heart to thee.
3 When pain o'er my weak flesh prevails,
