6. Hymn: Like A River Glorious

Hymn: Like A River Glorious
Author: Frances R. Havergal (1836-1879)

1. Like a river glorious is God‵s perfect peace,
    Over all victorious, in its bright increase;
    Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day,
    Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.

Refrain:
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.

2. Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,
    Never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
    Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
    Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.

3. Every joy or trial falleth from above,
    Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
    We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
    They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.

7. Hymn: Take My Life and Let It Be

Hymn: Take My Life and Let It Be
Author: Frances Ridley Havergal (1836-1879)

1. Take my life, and let it be
    Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
    Take my moments and my days,
    Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
    Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2. Take my hands, and let them move
    At the impulse of Thy love;
    Take my feet and let them be
    Swift and beautiful for Thee,
    Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3. Take my voice, and let me sing
    Always, only, for my King;
    Take my lips, and let them be
    Filled with messages from Thee,
    Filled with messages from Thee.

4. Take my will, and make it Thine;
    It shall be no longer mine.
    Take my heart; it is Thine own;
    It shall be Thy royal throne,
    It shall be Thy royal throne.

5. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
    At Thy feet its treasure-store.
    Take myself, and I will be
    Ever, only, all for Thee,
    Ever, only, all for Thee.

1. Hymn: I Could Not Do Without Thee

I Could Not Do Without Thee

Modern Tune, by Craig Curry
(Vocal)
(Music)

1. I could not do without Thee, 
    O Saviour of the lost, 
    Whose precious blood redeemed me 
    At such tremendous cost; 
    Thy righteousness, Thy pardon, 
    Thy precious blood, must be 
    My only hope and comfort, 
    My glory and my plea.  

2. I could not do without Thee, 
    I cannot stand alone, 
    I have no strength or goodness, 
    No wisdom of my own; 
    But Thou, beloved Saviour, 
    Art all in all to me, 
    And weakness will be power 
    If leaning hard on Thee.  

3. I could not do without Thee, 
    For, oh, the way is long, 
    And I am often weary, 
    And sight replaces song; 
    How could I do without Thee? 
    I do not know the way; 
    Thou knowest, and Thou leadest, 
    And wilt not let me stray.  

4. I could not do without Thee, 
    O Jesus, Saviour dear; 
    E'en when my eyes are holden, 
    I know that Thou art near. 
    How dreary and how lonely 
    This changeful life would be, 
    Without the sweet communion, 
    The secret rest with Thee!  

5. I could not do without Thee; 
    No other friend can read 
    The spirit's strange deep longings, 
    Interpreting its need; 
    No human heart could enter 
    Each dim recess of mine, 
    And soothe, and hush, and calm it, 
    O blessed Lord, but Thine.  

6. I could not do without Thee, 
    For years are fleeting fast, 
    And soon in solemn loneliness 
    The river must be passed; 
    But Thou wilt never leave me, 
    And though the waves roll high, 
    I know Thou wilt be near me, 
    And whisper, "It is I."

36. Hymn: Wait Patiently For Him

Wait Patiently For Him

by Frances R. Havergal

1. God doth not bid thee wait, 
    To disappoint at last; 
    A golden promise, fair and great, 
    In precept-mold is cast. 
    Soon shall the morning gild 
    The dark horizon-rim, 
    Thy heart's desire shall be fulfilled. 
    "Wait patiently for Him."  

2. The weary waiting times 
    Are but the muffled peals, 
    Low preluding celestial chimes, 
    That hail His chariot-wheels. 
    Trust Him to tune thy voice 
    To blend with seraphim; 
    His "Wait" shall issue in "Rejoice!" 
    "Wait patiently for Him."  

3. He doth not bid thee wait, 
    Like drift-wood on the wave, 
    For fickle chance or fixed fate 
    To ruin or to save. 
    Thine eyes shall surely see,
    No distant hope or dim, 
    The Lord thy God arise for thee: 
    "Wait patiently for Him."

24. Hymn: Like A River Glorious

Like A River Glorious

Tune: WYE VALLEY, by James Mountain

1. Like a river glorious is God’s perfect peace,
    Over all victorious, in its bright increase;
    Perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day,
    Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.

Refrain: 
Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest 
Finding, as He promised, perfect peace and rest.  

2. Hidden in the hollow of His blessed hand,
    Never foe can follow, never traitor stand;
    Not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
    Not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there.  

3. Every joy or trial falleth from above,
    Traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love;
    We may trust Him fully all for us to do;
    They who trust Him wholly find Him wholly true.
