RESCUE THE PERISHING

 

HYMN FOR TODAY - Monday July 7
===============================
Rescue the perishing,
care for the dying,
Snatch them in pity
from sin and the grave;
Weep o’er the erring one,
lift up the fallen,
Tell them of Jesus,
the mighty to save.

Rescue the perishing,
care for the dying,
Jesus is merciful,
Jesus will save.

Though they are slighting Him,
still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to receive;
Plead with them earnestly,
plead with them gently;
He will forgive if they only believe.

Down in the human heart,
crushed by the tempter,
Feelings lie buried
that grace can restore;
Touched by a loving heart,
wakened by kindness,
Chords that were broken
will vibrate once more.

GUIDE ME O THOU GREAT JEHOVAH

HYMN FOR TODAY - Sunday July 6
===============================
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand:
|:Bread of heaven, :|
|:Feed me now and evermore. :|


Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
|:Strong Deliv'rer, :|
|:Be Thou still my strength and shield. :|


Feed me with the heavn'ly manna
In this barren wilderness
Be my sword and shield, and banner
Be my robe of righteousness
|:Fight and conquer;:|
|:All my foes by sov'reign grace:|

GROWING IN GRACE

HYMN FOR TODAY - Saturday July 5
===============================
Father of spirits, grant that we
May more and more resemble thee;
Daily from strength to strength proceed,
Christians in name and so indeed.

In our whole lives may we express,
The truth and energy of grace;
A lively faith a humble fear,
And be in truth what we appear.

By our exact obedience show,
What we do thy rich mercy owe;
And thus a bright example give,
To teach the world how they should live.

I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

HYMN FOR TODAY - Friday July 4
===============================
I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord:
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

I need Thee, O I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
O bless me now, my Saviour!
I come to Thee.

I need Thee every hour;
Stay Thou near by;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.

THERE'S NOT A BIRD WITH LONELY NEST

HYMN FOR TODAY - Thursday July 3
===============================

There’s not a bird with lonely nest,
In pathless wood or mountain crest,
Nor meaner thing, which does not share,
O God, in Thy paternal care.

There’s not a being now accurst
Who did not taste thy goodness first;
And every joy the wicked see
Received its origin from thee.

Each barren crag, each desert rude,
Holds Thee within its solitude;
And Thou dost bless the wand’rer there,
Who makes his solitary prayer.

MANY ARE MY FEARS

HYMN FOR TODAY - Wednesday July 2
===============================
My God, how many are my fears!
How fast my foes increase!
Conspiring my eternal death,
They break my present peace.


The lying tempter would persuade
There's no relief in heaven;
And all my swelling sins appear
Too big to be forgiven.


But thou, my glory and my strength,
Shalt on the tempter tread,
Shalt silence all my threatening guilt,
And raise my drooping head.

I COME

 

 HYMN FOR TODAY - Tuesday July 1
===============================
Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou biddest me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come!


Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come!


Just as I am, though tossed about,
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings within, and fears without.
O Lamb of God, I come!
