WALKING

WALKING with Thee, my God,
Saviour benign,

Daily confer on me

Converse divine:

Jesus, in Thee restored,
Brother and blessed Lord,

Let it be mine.

mf 2 Walking with Thee, my God, Like as a child

Leans on his father's strength,
Crossing the wild;
And by the way is taught
Lessons of holy thought,
Faith undefiled.

mf 3 Darkness and earthly mists, How do they flee, Far underneath my feet, Walking with Thee: f Pure is that upper air, Cloudless the prospect there, Walking with Thee.

mp 4 Walking in reverence
Humbly with Thee,

cr Yet from all abject fear
Lovingly free:

f E'en as a friend with friend,
Cheered to the journey's end,
Walking with Thee.

mf 5 Then Thy companions here Walking with Thee,

cr Rise to a higher life,

Soul liberty:

dim They are not, here to love, But to the home above, Taken by Thee.

p 6 Gently translated, they Pass out of sight, Gone as the morning stars Flee with the night: Taken to endless day, dim So may I fade away

Into Thy light. Amen.

mf COME, O Thou Traveller unknown,

Whom still I hold, but cannot see, My company before is gone, And I am left alone with Thee; f With Thee all night I mean to stay, ff And wrestle till the break of day. mp [2 I need not tell Thee who I am, My misery or sin declare ;

Thyself hast called me by my name; Look on Thy hands, and read it there! f But Who, I ask Thee, Who art Thou? Tell me Thy Name, and tell me now.]

mf 3 Wilt Thou not yet to me reveal

Thy new, unutterable Name?

cr Tell me, I still beseech Thee, tell :
To know it now, resolved I am :
f Wrestling, I will not let Thee go,

Till I Thy Name, Thy Nature know.
mp 4 Yield to me now, for I am weak,
But confident in self-despair;
Speak to my heart, in blessings speak,

Be conquered by my instant prayer! f Speak, or Thou never hence shalt move. ff And tell me, if Thy Name is Love? f 5 'Tis Love! 'tis Love! Thou diedst for me I hear Thy whisper in my heart! The morning breaks, the shadows flee; Pure universal Love Thou art! f To me, to all, Thy mercies move; ff Thy Nature, and Thy Name, is Love! 6 My prayer hath power with God; the grace Unspeakable I now receive;

mf

Through faith I see Thee face to face, I see Thee face to face, and live: ƒ In vain I have not wept and strove; ff Thy Nature, and Thy Name, is Love! mf 7 I know Thee, Saviour, Who Thou art; Jesus, the feeble sinner's Friend! Nor wilt Thou with the night depart, But stay, and love me to the end! f Thy mercies never shall remove, ff Thy Nature, and Thy Name, is Love! Amen. C. WESLEY, v. 5, 7. 5 altd

Who will serve the King?

Who will be His helpers

Other lives to bring?

Who will leave the world's side?

Who will face the foe?

Who is on the Lord's side?

Who will for Him go?

By Thy call of mercy,
By Thy grace divinę,
We are on the Lord's side,

mf [2 Not for weight of glory,
Nor for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,

Raise the warrior psalm
But for love that claimeth
Lives for whom He died,
cr He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on His side.
By Thy love constraining,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine!]

Thou hast made us willing,
Thou hast made us free.
By Thy grand redemption,
By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side
Saviour, we are Thine!

mf 4 Fierce may be the conflict,
Strong may be the foe,

cr But the King's own army

f

None can overthrow.
Round His standard ranging,
Victory is secure!

For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.
Joyfully enlisting

By Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord's side,
Saviour, we are Thine!

mf 5 Chosen to be soldiers
In an alien land,
"Chosen, called, faithful,"
For our Captain's band,
In the service royal,
Let us not grow cold:
f Let us be right loyal,
Noble, true, and bold.
Master, Thou wilt keep us,
By Thy grace divine,
Always on the Lord's side,
Saviour, always Thine!
