I Called Upon Thy Name

Nearer Each Day

I Love God With All My Heart And With All My Soul

I’m spending time now,
Just me and my God!
I’m lingering longer;
Just me and my God!

The sheep are a’ snoring!
I’m singing and psalming!
My heart is a harp-sing
Unto my God!

I’m spending time now,
Just me and my God!
I’m lingering longer;
Just me and my God!

Your words are sweet as
Honey unto my taste,
And a light unto my path;
I’m lingering,
Just me and my God!

Lord You're altogether lovely
You're fairer than the morning
You're matchless, sweet, unrivaled
You're far beyond compare
Amazing love You have outpoured
How could I but love You more
Stepping out of glory
Son of Man, reaching me

Lord You sought me and pursued me
Until You won me completely
With love eternal ever new
Lord my eyes see only You
Joy unspeakable fills my being
perfect love has captured me
Now together we abide
I am Yours and You are mine

Let me linger in this sweetness
Remain here in Your presence
Lost within Your beauty
Sweet foretaste of eternity
As our hearts blend into one
How I long for Your return
Come Beloved, satisfy
Your longing for a match, a Bride

As our hearts blend into one
How I long for Your return
Come Beloved, satisfy
Your longing for a match, a Bride

Lord You're Altogether Lovely

1    Gamay ko nga langgam,
Nadakpan’s umahan,
Bisag gihawla’s Ginoo,
Siyay awitan ko;
Nalipay nga gihawla Mo,
Kay m’oy gikahimut-an Mo.
 
2    Way laing buhaton,
Sa tanang panahon,
      Awita’g pahamut-an S’yang
Naminaw’s awit ko.
Bisan gigapos Mong pako
Namati Ka sa awit ko.
 
3    Awit paminawon,
Ako bulahanon;
Bisag awit di matahum;
Imong pamation.
Kay nasayud Kang awit ko
Dinasig’s gugma ko Nimo.
 
4    Bilanggo ning hawla,
   Di na makagula;
Kasingkasing ko gawas man,
    Bisag pako hiniktan;
Hawla di makabilanggo,
Sa kagawasan’s kalag ko.
 
5    O nindot ilupad
   Kining tanang babag!
Kaniya kansang pagbuot
   Ug tuyo gimahal;
Sa pagbuot Mo mapalgan,
Ang kalipay ko’g kagawasan.

Hymn 724 - A Little Bird I am (Cebuano)

1.
Lord Jesus, I long in Thy presence to live,
From morning to evening my one world Thou art;
O let not my heart be contented or rest
When loving or seeking what with Thee doth part.
Each moment, each day, throughout suff’ring and pain,
When nought in the world can give comfort or cheer,
When sighing and weeping encompasses me,
Lord, still all my sighing and wipe every tear.

2.
Each time when I dream of the goodness of life,
I pray Thee, dear Lord, that Thou in it may be;
O do not allow me to choose by myself,
Nor seek any pleasure that’s other than Thee.
Each night when alone in the stillness I lie,
I pray Thee, Lord Jesus, that Thou wilt be near;
Each morning ere dawn comes, while still in my sleep,
Then whispering call me and open my ear.

3.
Each time, Lord, when reading in Thy holy Word,
I pray that Thy glory may shine on each line,
That clearly I’ll see what a Savior I have
And how great salvation that Thou hast made mine.
When helpless I come, Lord, to kneel at Thy throne,
I pray Thee to hear me and grant me Thy grace;
If thru my shortcomings Thou hear not my prayer,
Withdraw not Thy presence, O hide not Thy face.

4.
Each time when of heavenly blessings I think,
O let my heart long to be raptured to Thee;
My only hope here is Thy coming again,
My only joy there, Lord, Thy presence will be.
Lord, teach me each day in Thy presence to live,
From morning to evening my one world Thou art;
O let not my heart be contented or rest
When loving or seeking what with Thee doth part.

Lord Jesus, I Long In Thy Presence To Live (Hymn 389)

Lord, there’s nothing in this world like You;
You fill me up completely.
And I would never give You up for anything
Because nothing else could satisfy me so.

People think that they can find
Satisfaction, peace of mind.
Everything leads to another,
But I’ve found the best.

No more trying something else,
Or thinking that there’s something more;
No more hoping “someday,”
’Cause today I have the best.

Looking not at failures past,
Hoping not in future dreams;
Not wishing I were different,
Knowing everything’s the best.

Lord, There's Nothing In This World Like You

When thou wakest in the morning
Ere thou tread the untried way,
Of the lot that lies before thee
Thor’ the coming busy day.
Whether sunbeams promise brightness,
Whether dim forebodings fall,
Be thy dawning glad or gloomy,
Go to Jesus, tell Him all.

In the calm of sweet communion
Let thy daily work be done;
In the peace of soul-outpouring,
Care be banished, patience won.
And if earth with its enchantments
Seek thy spirit to enthrall,
Ere thou listen, ere thou answer,
Turn to Jesus, tell Him all.

And if weariness creeps o'er thee
As the day wears to its close,
Or if sudden fierce temptation
Bring thee face to face with foes;
In thy weakness, in thy peril,
Raise to heav’n a truthful call;
Strength and calm for every crisis,
Come, in telling Jesus all.

主耶穌我羨慕活在你面前/Lord Jesus, I Long In Thy Presence to Live 詩歌290

O How Deep and How Far Reaching

1	Since long ago at Bethany we parted,
 	Within my heart there is a ceaseless void;
 	How can I take my harp down from the willow?
 	How can my songs without Thee be enjoyed?
 	And when at night I’m keeping lonely vigil-
 	Grown numb alike to sorrow and to cheer-
 	Then I recall the promise of Thy coming,
 	But sigh: O Lord, why, why Thou dost not yet appear?
2	Thy manger wakes the thought: I too am homeless;
 	Thy cross strips earthly pleasures from my soul;
 	Thy coming bids me seek a better country,
 	For Thou Thyself art now my final goal.
 	Since Thou art gone my joy has lost its flavor,
 	My song the sweetness I would fain convey.
 	Since Thou art gone the sense of void o’erwhelms me.
 	Oh, how I long that Thou wilt come and not delay.
3	Though even now I know Thy loving presence,
 	Yet in my heart there’s still a sense of lack.
 	Enlightening and tenderest sustaining
 	Can no more satisfy: I want Thee back.
 	Despite Thy peace within, I still feel lonely;
 	Despite Thy joy there still remains a sigh;
 	When I feel most content, the silent yearning
 	To see Thee face to face becomes an uttered cry.
4	What exile cannot but desire his homeland
 	And long his people once again to greet?
 	What soul on alien soil forgets his kindred?
 	What parted lovers never yearn to meet?
 	O Lord, how can these earthly loves and pleasures
 	With all the joy of Thy return compare?
 	Then, if I cannot here behold Thy countenance,
 	What can I do but sigh till Thou, my Lord, appear?
5	Could’st Thou, O Lord, forget Thy word of promise
 	Soon to return and take me unto Thee?
 	Yet day by day and year by year I’ve waited
 	And still I wait, and no return I see!
 	Remember, Lord, the years I have been waiting
 	While Thy dear footsteps linger far away.
 	How long? How long? Oh! must I wait still longer
 	Till Thou shalt come again in glorious array?
6	From generation unto generation
 	Thy saints have come and gone, but have not seen
 	Thy glorious promise pass into fulfilment.
 	How long, how very long the time has been!
 	Why cannot we, dear Lord, discern Thy footsteps?
 	Why are the heavens still so closely sealed?
 	Oh! must our waiting be prolonged still further
 	Before Thou in Thy matchless splendor art revealed?
7	Lord, I recall the many years I’ve waited
 	For Thy return-yet, Lord, not I alone,
 	But Thy dear saints through many generations-
 	Beseeching Thee to come back for Thine own.
 	To countless tears and countless fervent pleadings,
 	By Thine appearing haste to make reply.
 	Oh, may Thou come, the echo of the ages,
 	Come, come and answer now this mighty corp’rate cry!
