Hymn Context Compare
Songs with pow­er to stir and thrill,
Turning wa­ter in­to wine—
Then let your light ev­er shine;
The blood of an in­car­nate God.
When fa­mine de­so­lates the land;
Up the shin­ing heights of life,
start
My flesh would rest in Thine ab­ode,
Are dar­kened by Thy mas­ter hand!
As Thou art, so let us be!
The pray­er of faith this mo­ment seal
Send forth the Spir­it of Thy Son,
Ascend for years of er­ror.
To paths of peace the wan­der­er guide;
Our heart-strings groan with deep com­plaint,
Of Thee our re­com­pense,

pant­ing

Joy’s deep long­ings to ful­fill.
Is to taste Thy love di­vine:
Sunshine their souls will re­vive,
On Ethi­op­ia’s scorch­ing sand,
The lang­uid herds re­sign their breath.
Yearning for some no­ble strife.
Behold our dy­ing grain:
My God! my king! why should I be
Seen surg­ing here, their moils, their moods,
See I pant in Thee to rest!
end
And make me know as I am known;
I knew not help was near me;
Where streams of liv­ing wa­ter glide.
And ev­ery limb, and ev­ery joint,
And pains our ach­ing sense:
