StF 250

  1. Jesus calls us!  O'er the tumult
    of our life's wild restless sea,
    day by day his voice is sounding,
    saying: ‘Christian, follow me.’
  1. As of old apostles heard it
    by the Galilean lake,
    turned from home and toil and kindred,
    leaving all for his dear sake.
  1. Jesus calls us from the worship
    of the vain world's golden store,
    from each idol that would keep us,
    saying: ‘Christian, love me more.’
  1. In our joys and in our sorrows,
    days of toil and hours of ease,
    still he calls, in cares and pleasures:
    ‘Christian, love me more than these.’
  1. Jesus calls us!  By your mercies,
    Saviour, may we hear your call,
    give our hearts to your obedience,
    serve and love you best of all.

Cecil Frances Alexander (1818–1895)

StF 51

  1. Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father,
    there is no shadow of turning with thee;
    thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
    as thou hast been thou for ever wilt be:

Great is thy faithfulness!  Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
all I have needed thy hand hath provided.
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

  1. Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
    sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
    join with all nature in manifold witness
    to thy great faithfulness, mercy and love:
  1. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
    thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
    strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
    blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

StF 465

  1. 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, Bread of heaven,
    feed me now and evermore;
    feed me now and evermore.
  1. Open thou the crystal fountain
    whence the healing stream shall flow;
    let the fiery, cloudy pillar
    lead me all my journey through:
    strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
    be thou still my strength and shield;
    be thou still my strength and shield.
  1. When I tread the verge of Jordan
    bid my anxious fears subside;
    death of death, and hell's destruction,
    land me safe on Canaan's side:
    songs of praises, songs of praises,
    I will ever give to thee;
    I will ever give to thee.

William Williams (1717–1791)
translated by Peter Williams (1727–1796)

StF 481

  1. The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want;
    he makes me lie in pastures green,
    he leads me by the still, still waters,
    his goodness restores my soul.

And I will trust in you alone,
and I will trust in you alone,
for your endless mercy follows me,
your goodness will lead me home.

  1. He guides my ways in righteousness,
    and he anoints my head with oil;
    and my cup — it overflows with joy,
    I feast on his pure delights.
  1. And though I walk the darkest path —
    I will not fear the evil one,
    for you are with me, and your rod and staff
    are the comfort I need to know.

StF 323

  1. I will sing the wondrous story
    of the Christ who died for me,
    how he left the realms of glory
    for the cross on Calvary:

Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story
of the Christ who died for me,
sing it with his saints in glory,
gathered by the crystal sea.

  1. I was lost; but Jesus found me,
    found the sheep that went astray,
    raised me up, and gently led me
    back into the narrow way:
  1. Faint was I, and fears possessed me,
    bruised was I from many a fall;
    hope was gone, and shame distressed me;
    but his love has pardoned all:
  1. Days of darkness still come o'er me;
    sorrow's paths I often tread;
    but the Saviour still is with me,
    by his hand I'm safely led:
  1. He will keep me till the river
    rolls its waters at my feet;
    then he'll bear me safely over,
    where the loved ones I shall meet:

StF 24

Come, now is the time to worship.
Come, now is the time to give your heart.
Come, just as you are to worship.
Come, just as you are before your God, come.

One day every tongue
will confess you are God,
one day every knee will bow.
Still, the greatest treasure remains
for those who gladly choose you now.

Come, now is the time to worship …

StF 438

  1. Your ceaseless, unexhausted love,
    unmerited and free,
    delights our evil to remove,
    and help our misery.
  1. You wait and you are gracious still
    and will with sinners bear,
    that, saved, we may your goodness feel,
    and all your grace declare.
  1. Your goodness and your truth to me,
    to every soul, abound,
    a vast, unfathomable sea,
    where all our thoughts are drowned.
  1. Its streams the whole creation reach,
    so plenteous is the store,
    enough for all, enough for each,
    enough for evermore.
  1. Faithful, O Lord, your mercies are,
    a rock that cannot move;
    a thousand promises declare
    your constancy of love.
  1. Throughout the universe it reigns,
    unalterably sure;
    and while the truth of God remains
    the goodness must endure.

Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

StF 518

  1. Father, hear the prayer we offer:
    not for ease that prayer shall be,
    but for strength that we may ever
    live our lives courageously.
  1. Not for ever in green pastures
    do we ask our way to be;
    but the steep and rugged pathway
    may we tread rejoicingly.
  1. Not for ever by still waters
    would we idly rest and stay;
    but would strike the living fountains
    from the rocks along our way.
  1. Be our strength in hours of weakness,
    in our wanderings be our guide;
    through endeavour, failure, danger,
    Father, be there at our side.

Love Maria Willis (1824–1908)

StF 489

  1. All I once held dear,
    built my life upon,
    all this world reveres,
    and wars to own,
    all I once thought gain
    I have counted loss;
    spent and worthless now,
    compared to this.

Knowing you, Jesus,
knowing you,
there is no greater thing.
You're my all, you're the best,
you're my joy, my righteousness,
and I love you, Lord.

  1. Now my heart's desire
    is to know you more,
    to be found in you
    and known as yours.
    To possess by faith
    what I could not earn,
    all-surpassing gift
    of righteousness.
  1. Oh, to know the power
    of your risen life,
    and to know you in
    your sufferings.
    To become like you
    in your death, my Lord,
    so with you to live
    and never die.

StF 469

  1. I watch the sunrise lighting the sky,
    casting its shadows near.
    And on this morning bright though it be,
    I feel those shadows near me.

But you are always close to me
following all my ways.
May I be always close to you
following all your ways, Lord.

  1. I watch the sunlight shine through the clouds,
    warming the earth below.
    And at the mid-day life seems to say:
    ‘I feel your brightness near me.’

For you are always close to me …

  1. I watch the sunset fading away,
    lighting the clouds with sleep.
    And as the evening closes its eyes
    I feel your presence near me.

For you are always close to me …

  1. I watch the moonlight guarding the night,
    waiting till morning comes.
    The air is silent, earth is at rest —
    only your peace is near me.

Yes, you are always close to me …
