Psalms 31:3

• [Psa 31:3] I Do Not Ask, O Lord

  I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be A pleasant road; I do not ask that Thou wouldst take from me Aught of its load. I do not ask that flowers should always spring Beneath my feet; I know too well the poison and the sting Of things too sweet. For one thing, only Lord, dear Lord, I plead: Lead me aright, Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed, Through peace to light. I do not ask, O Lord, that Thou shouldst shed Full radiance here Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread Without a fear. I do not ask my cross to understand, My way to see; Better in darkness just to feel Thy hand, And follow Thee. Joy is like restless day; but peace divine Like quiet night: Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine, Through peace to light.

• [Psa 31:3] Jesus, Merciful And Mild

  Jesus, merciful and mild, lead me as a helpless child: On no other arm but Thine would my weary soul recline. Thou art ready to forgive, Thou canst bid the sinner live; Guide the wanderer, day by day, in the straight and narrow way. Thou canst fit me by Thy grace for the heav’nly dwelling place; All Thy promises are sure, ever shall Thy love endure; Then what more could I desire, how to greater bliss aspire? All I need, in Thee I see; Thou art all in all to me. Jesus, Savior all divine, hast Thou made me truly Thine? Hast Thou bought me by Thy blood? Reconciled my heart to God? Hearken to my tender prayer; let me Thine own image bear. Let me love Thee more and more till I reach Heav’n’s blissful shore.

Psalms 71:3

• [Psa 71:3] Thou Art My Rock

  Thou art my Rock in the wide desert land, Sheltered by Thee here in safety I stand; What tho’ the storms and the tempests may beat, What tho’ the sun pour its fierce noontide heat: Refrain Sheltered by Thee, sheltered by Thee, Here in the shadow from danger I’m free. Once I was wand’ring exposed to the storm, Refuge there was none to shield me from harm; Then ’twas I found in the broad desert way Christ as my Rock and with gladness could say: Refrain Come to the Rock so majestic and grand; Here in its shelter a million may stand; Each one may feel that his hope here is sure, Each one may say in his safety secure: Refrain

Psalms 18:2

• [Psa 18:2] Come, Great Deliverer, Come

  O hear my cry, be gracious now to me, Come, Great Deliverer, come; My soul bowed down is longing now for Thee, Come, Great Deliverer, come. Refrain I’ve wandered far away o’er mountains cold, I’ve wandered far away from home; O take me now, and bring me to Thy fold, Come, Great Deliverer, come. I have no place, no shelter from the night, Come, Great Deliverer, come; One look from Thee would give me life and light, Come, Great Deliverer, come. Refrain My path is lone, and weary are my feet, Come, Great Deliverer, come; Mine eyes look up Thy loving smile to meet, Come, Great Deliverer, come. Refrain Thou wilt not spurn contrition’s broken sigh, Come, Great Deliverer, come. Regard my prayer, and hear my humble cry, Come, Great Deliverer, come. Refrain

• [Psa 18:2] Rock Of Ages

  Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure. Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, [originally When my eye-strings break in death] When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
