2 Just when Thou wilt, O Saviour, comė,
Take me to dwell in Thy bright home!
Or when the snows have crowned my head,
Or ere it hath one silver thread.
3 Just when Thou wilt, O Bridegroom, say,
Rise up, my love, and come away!
Open to me Thy golden gate,
Just when Thou wilt, or soon, or late.
4 Just when Thou wilt-Thy time is best-Thou shalt appoint my hour of rest, Marked by the Sun of perfect love, Shining unchangeably above.
5 Just when Thou wilt, no choice for me! Life is a gift to use for Thee;
Death is a hushed and perfect trust,
With Thee, my King, my Saviour, Christ! F. R. Havergal.
1 ONE sweetly solemn thought Nowe me o'er and o'er,—
I'm nearer home to-day
Than e'er I've been before.
Nearer my home, nearer my home,
Nearer my home to-day
Than e'er I've been before.
2 Nearer the great white throne,
Nearer the crystal sea,
Nearer my Father's house,
Where many mansions be.
3 Nearer the bound of life,
Where burdens we lay down;
Nearer leaving the cross,
Nearer gaining the crown.
4 Lying darkly between,
Winding down through the night,
Is that deep, unknown stream
Cross'd ere we reach the light.
5 Jesu! perfect my trust,
Strengthen my wav'ring faith:
Be near me when I stand
Upon the shore of death;
6 Be near me when my feet
Are slipping o'er the brink ;
May be I'm nearer home,
Nearer now, than I think.
UR Helper God, we bless His Name,
The same His power, His grace the same,
The tokens of His friendly care
Open and crown and close the year.
2 Amidst ten thousand snares we stand,
Supported by His guardian hand,
And see, when we review our ways,
Ten thousand monuments of praise.
3 Thus far His arm hath led us on,
Thus far we make His mercies known, And while we tread this desert land, New mercies shall new songs demand. 4 Our grateful souls on Jordan's shore Shall raise one sacred pillar more,
Then bear in His bright courts above
Inscriptions of immortal love.
ME is swiftly passing o'er us,
Swiftly life is fleeting by,
Unknown paths lie stretched before us,
Joys and griefs behind us die.
Lord, accept our soul's submission,
Strengthen Hope, remove each fear;
Thus we spend, in deep contrition,
Evening hours of the year!
2 Fount of life, our life renewing,
Grant us grace to meet each foe,
Every sin and doubt subduing,
Bless us as we onward go.
Thus by Thee our pathway cheering,
Calm and strong in peace or strife,
We will serve, until are nearing
Evening hours of our life!
3 Then the bright new year awaking
Glorious, calm, eternal day;
Never our glad hearts forsaking,
Shall that Sun withdraw His ray.
Earthly griefs assuaged, forgotten,
Perils past and sins forgiven;
What eternal joy shall herald
Dawning hours of Home and Heaven!
