357 1 3 I cannot feel Thee touch my hand, 4 But I have felt Thee in my thought, And when my heart loves God, I know 5 And when, dear Saviour, I kneel down, 6 Yes; when I pray Thou prayest too, But when I sleep Thou sleepest not, His ears are open unto their prayers. GOD almighty heareth ever When His little children pray: He is faint and weary never, And He turneth none away. 2 More than we deserve He sends us, 4 Through His Son, our precious Saviour, 87.87. 358 The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall 10 10.11 11.10 11. not want.-PSALM Xxiii. 1. 1 THOU HOUGH troubles assail And dangers affright, Yet one thing secures us Whatever betide, The Lord is my Shepherd, and He will provide. 3 His call we obey Like Abram of old, Not knowing our way, But faith makes us bold; For though we are strangers We have a sure Guide, And trust in all dangers The Lord will provide. So happy am I, etc. 4 No strength of our own Or goodness we claim; Yet since we have known The Saviour's great name, In this our strong tower For safety we hide, Almighty His power-The Lord will provide. So happy am I, etc. 359 1 CONDUCT. Thou God seest me.-GENESIS xvi. 13. GOD is in heaven! Can He hear A little prayer like mine? Yes, that He can; I need not fear: C.M. 2 God is in heaven! Can He see 3 God is in heaven! Would He know 4 God is in heaven! Does He care, 360 5 God is in heaven! May I pray Yes; love Him, seek Him, and one day 1 And be ye kind one to another. 6 4.6 4.6 6 6 4.6 4. KIND IND words can never die, God knows how deep they lie, Stored in the breast: Like childhood's simple rhymes, Kind words can never die, No, never die. 2 Sweet thoughts can never die, 361 But when the gentle dew Sweet thoughts can never die, 3 Our souls can never die, No, never die. Though in the tomb Our souls can never die, No, never die. The servant of the Lord must. . .D.C.M. WITH CHORUS. be gentle unto all men.-2 TIM. ii. 24. 1 THE sun may raise the grass to life, THEMA The dew the drooping flower; And eyes grow bright, and watch the light But words that breathe of tenderness And smiles we know are true, Are warmer than the summer-time And brighter than the dew. Gentle words! Loving smiles! How beautiful are gentle words and loving smiles. 2 It is not much the world can give, With all its subtle art; And gold and gems are not the things To satisfy the heart; But O! if those who cluster round The altar and the hearth Have gentle words and loving smiles, How beautiful is earth! Gentle words, etc. 362 1 LORD, who shall abide .? He that Loves from his heart to speak the truth, 2 He that hath practised no deceit Or slanderously his neighbour wrong: 3 He in the house of God shall dwell, He on His holy hill shall rest, The comforts of religion feel, And then be numbered with the blest: 4 But who or guile or falsehood use, Or take God's name in vain, or swear, L.M. They shall their dreadful sentence bear. 363 This is My commandment, etc. 11 11.11 11. THIS is My commandment, That ye love one Tanother, That ye love one another, As I have loved you. 1 Blessed words of Jesus we have heard to-day Saviour, by Thy Spirit, help us to obey: May Thy love unite us to the living Vine! |
