Hymn Context Compare
An en­mi­ty to dark des­pair.
Kind His bless­ings fall;
start
But bow in fi­li­al fear.
The call of love di­vine?
There our Re­deem­er reigns on high
Affection’s kind­ly glow,
Ringing in ears so long deaf to His call;
Let them be the li­on’s prey;
Thou, Lord, art near, our souls to bless
To com­fort the brok­en heart­ed
To com­fort the brok­en heart­ed
Recall Thy mer­cies, Lord,
To speak to the shep­herds of God’s great love.
Our Sab­bath school, O may He bless,
God make my life a lit­tle hymn
Cheering pil­grims, faint and wea­ry,
Israel, all His deep love slight­ing,
And we at last shall see
His pro­mises are sure;

ten­der­ness

With strength to help them on the way,
He chast­ens but to bless.
Which bows be­fore the Lord,
This hush of so­lemn pow­er;
And gain no thought of thine?
The time is swift­ly pass­ing by
In human hearts be­low.
Bringing sal­va­tion to one and all.
Keep them through life’s dan­ger­ous way.
And we, where’er our lot is cast,
I want to be meek and low­ly,
I want to be meek and low­ly,
And all Thy lov­ing-kind­ness­es,
The King from the glo­ry, so won­drous bright!
And lead us gent­ly when we die
Of faith—that nev­er wax­eth dim,
Pointing thro’ earth’s dark­ness drea­ry,
Still He followed, still in­vit­ing,
Her speech but ech­oes Thee!
Will ev­er­more en­dure.
