We fear because Thou art so good, And because we can sin; And when we make most show of love, We are trembling most within.
We fear because God is so good and we can sin
Would Jesus Have the Sinner Die? Would Jesus have the sinner die? Why hangs He then on yonder tree? What means that strange expiring cry? (Sinners, He p’ays for you and me;) Forgive them, Father, O forgive! They know not that by Me they live.

A Soul In Its Earliest Love
Strong
O Thou, to whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee; O burst these bonds, and set it free! Wash out its stains, refine its dress, Nail my affections to the Cross; Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean!

Silent Prayers
My heart is resting, O my God, I will give thanks and sing; My heart is at the secret source Of every precious thing. Now the frail vessel Thou hast made No hand but Thine shall fill; For the waters of the earth have failed, And I am thirsty still. I

Joy in the Presence of Jesus How tedious and tasteless the hours When Jesus no longer I see! Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers, Have all lost their sweetness to me;
