In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the

As thy days may demand, shall thy
strength ever be.
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not
dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee
aid;
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause
thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent
hand.
When through the deep waters I call thee
to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to
bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
When through fiery trials thy pathways
shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy
supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only
design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to
refine.
Even down to old age all My people shall
prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable
love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples
adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be
borne.
The soul that on Jesus has leaned for
repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should
endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.

foundation,
Christ the Head and Corner-stone, With salvation’s walls surrounded,
Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Thou may’st smile at all thy foes.
Binding all the Church in one,
Holy Sion's help for ever,
And her confidence alone.
See! the streams of living waters,

2 All that dedicated city, Springing from eternal love;

Dearly loved of God on high,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
In exultant jubilation
Pours perpetual melody; And all fear of want remove:
God the One in Three adoring
In glad hymns eternally. Who can faint while such a river

Ever flows their thirst t’assuage?

3 To this temple, where we call Thee,
Come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day; Grace, which like the Lord, the giver,
With Thy wonted loving-kindness,
Never fails from age to age.
Hear Thy servants as they pray;
And Thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
Round each habitation hovering,
4 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants See the cloud and fire appear!
What they ask of Thee to gain,
For a glory and a covering
Showing that the Lord is near.
Thus deriving from our banner
Light by night and shade by day;
Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray.
Blest inhabitants of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer’s blood!
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests to God.
’Tis His love His people raises,
Over self to reign as kings,
And as priests, His solemn praises
Each for a thank offering brings.
Savior, if of Zion’s city,
I through grace a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy name.
Fading is the worldling’s pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion’s children know.

Glory, laud, and honor unto Christ
the King,

(Refrain)
The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord,
She is His new creation
By water and the Word.
From heaven He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her
And for her life He died.
She is from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth;
Her charter of salvation,
One Lord, one faith, one birth;
One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
The Church shall never perish!
Her dear Lord to defend,
To guide, sustain, and cherish,
Is with her to the end:
Though there be those who hate her,
And false sons in her pale,
Against both foe or traitor
She ever shall prevail.
Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed:
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song!
’Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till, with the vision glorious,
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
Your hand, O God, has guided
your flock from age to age;
your faithfulness is written
on history's open page.
Our parents knew your goodness,
and we their deeds record;
and both to this bear witness:
one church, one faith, one Lord!
2 Your heralds brought the gospel
to greatest and to least;
they summoned men and women
to share the great King's feast.
And this was all their teaching
in every deed and word,
to all alike proclaiming:
one church, one faith, one Lord!
3 Your mercy will not fail us
nor leave your work undone;
with your right hand to help us
the victory shall be won.
And then by earth and heaven
your name shall be adored;
and this shall be our anthem:
one church, one faith, one Lord!
O for a thousand tongues to sing

Yet she on earth hath union My great Redeemer’s praise,

With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion The glories of my God and King,
With those whose rest is won,
With all her sons and daughters The triumphs of His grace!
Who, by the Master’s hand
Led through the deathly waters,
Repose in Eden land.
O happy ones and holy! My gracious Master and my God,
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly, Assist me to proclaim,
On high may dwell with Thee:
There, past the border mountains, To spread through all the earth abroad
Where in sweet vales the Bride
With Thee by living fountains The honors of Thy name.
Forever shall abide!

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,

That bids our sorrows cease; On this glad day the glorious Sun

’Tis music in the sinner’s ears, Of Righteousness arose;

’Tis life, and health, and peace. On my benighted soul He shone

And filled it with repose.

He breaks the power of canceled sin,

He sets the prisoner free; Sudden expired the legal strife,

His blood can make the foulest clean, ’Twas then I ceased to grieve;

His blood availed for me. My second, real, living life

I then began to live.

He speaks, and, listening to His voice,

New life the dead receive, Then with my heart I first believed,

The mournful, broken hearts rejoice, Believed with faith divine,

The humble poor believe. Power with the Holy Ghost received

To call the Savior mine.

Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,

Your loosened tongues employ; I felt my Lord’s atoning blood

Ye blind, behold your Savior come, Close to my soul applied;

And leap, ye lame, for joy. Me, me He loved, the Son of God,

For me, for me He died!

In Christ your Head, you then shall know,

Shall feel your sins forgiven; (O I found and owned His promise true,
for a thous…)
Ascertained of my part, (O for a
Anticipate your heaven below, thousan….)

And own that love is heaven. My pardon passed in heaven I knew

When written on my heart.

Glory to God, and praise and love

Be ever, ever given, Look unto Him, ye nations, own

By saints below and saints above, Your God, ye fallen race;

The church in earth and heaven. Look, and be saved through faith alone,

Be justified by grace.
 By His love and power controlling

See all your sins on Jesus laid: All I do and say.

The Lamb of God was slain,

His soul was once an offering made May the Word of God dwell richly

For every soul of man. In my heart from hour to hour,

So that all may see I triumph

Awake from guilty nature’s sleep, Only through His power.

And Christ shall give you light,

Cast all your sins into the deep, May the peace of God my Father

And wash the Æthiop white. Rule my life in everything,

That I may be calm to comfort

Harlots and publicans and thieves Sick and sorrowing.

In holy triumph join!

Saved is the sinner that believes May the love of Jesus fill me

From crimes as great as mine. As the waters fill the sea;

Him exalting, self abasing,

Murderers and all ye hellish crew This is victory.

In holy triumph join!

Believe the Savior died for you; May I run the race before me,

For me the Savior died. ( O for a Strong and brave to face the foe,
thousand…)
Looking only unto Jesus

As I onward go.
With me, your chief, ye then shall know,

Shall feel your sins forgiven;

May His beauty rest upon me,
Anticipate your heaven below,
As I seek the lost to win,
And own that love is heaven.
And may they forget the channel,

Seeing only Him.

May the mind of Christ my Saviour….

May the mind of Christ, my Savior, ------

Live in me from day to day,

Rise up, O men of God!
Have done with lesser things.
Give heart and mind and soul and
strength
To serve the King of kings.
Rise up, O men of God!
The kingdom tarries long.
Bring in the day of brotherhood
And end the night of wrong.
Rise up, O men of God!
The church for you doth wait,
Her strength unequal to her task;
Rise up and make her great!
Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where His feet have trod.
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God!

tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid him
in the tomb?
4 Were you there when God raised
him from the tomb?
Were you there when God raised him
from the tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to
tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when God raised him
from the tomb?
Fight the good fight with all thy might!
Christ is thy strength, and Christ thy
right;
Lay hold on life, and it shall be
Thy joy and crown eternally.

Run the straight race through God’s good
grace,
Lift up thine eyes, and seek His face;
Life with its way before us lies,
Christ is the path, and Christ the prize.

Cast care aside, lean on thy Guide;
His boundless mercy will provide;
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove
Christ is its life, and Christ its love.

He changeth not, and thou art dear;
Only believe, and thou shalt see
That Christ is all in all to thee.

Hail to the Lord’s anointed, great
David’s greater Son!
Hail in the time appointed, His reign on
earth begun!
He comes to break oppression, to set the
captive free;
To take away transgression and rule in
equity.
He comes in succor speedy to those who
suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy, and bid the
weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing, their
darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying, were
precious in His sight.
By such shall He be fearèd while sun and
moon endure;
Beloved, obeyed, reverèd; for He shall
judge the poor
Through changing generations, with
While stars maintain their stations, or
moons renew their youth.
He shall come down like showers upon
the fruitful earth;
Love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring
in His path to birth.
Before Him, on the mountains, shall
peace, the herald, go,
And righteousness, in fountains, from hill
to valley flow.
Arabia’s desert ranger to Him shall bow
the knee;
The Ethiopian stranger His glory come to
see;
With offerings of devotion ships from the
isles shall meet,
To pour the wealth of oceans in tribute at
His feet.
Kings shall fall down before Him, and
gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him, His praise all
people sing;
For He shall have dominion o’er river, sea
and shore,
Far as the eagle’s pinion or dove’s light
wing can soar.
For Him shall prayer unceasing and daily
vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing, a kingdom
without end:
The mountain dews shall nourish a seed
in weakness sown,
Whose fruit shall spread and flourish and
shake like Lebanon.
O’er every foe victorious, He on His
throne shall rest;
From age to age more glorious, all
blessing and all blest.
The tide of time shall never His covenant
remove;
His Name shall stand forever, His Name to
us is Love.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
[or Guide me, O Thou great Redeemer…]
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 till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more.
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and 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.
Lord, I trust Thy mighty power,
Wondrous are Thy works of old;
Thou deliver’st Thine from thralldom,
Who for naught themselves had sold:
Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer,
Sin, and Satan and the grave,
Sin, and Satan and the grave.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side.
(Guide me O…)
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee.
Musing on my habitation,
Musing on my heav’nly home,
Fills my soul with holy longings:
Come, my Jesus, quickly come;
Vanity is all I see;
Lord, I long to be with Thee!
Lord, I long to be with Thee!

Will your anchor hold in the storms of
life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of
strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables
strain,
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Stedfast and sure while the billows
roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot
move,
Grounded firm and deep in the
Savior's love.
It is safely moored, 'twill the storm
withstand,
For 'tis well secured by the Savior's hand;
And the cables passed from His heart to
mine,
Can defy the blast, through strength
divine.
It will firmly hold in the straits of fear,
When the breakers have told the reef is
near;
Though the tempest rave and the wild
winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o'erflow.
It will surely hold in the floods of death,
When the waters cold chill our latest
breath;
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil

Take my life and let it be
consecrated, Lord, to thee.
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in endless praise,
let them flow in endless praise.

at the impulse of thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
swift and beautiful for thee,
swift and beautiful for thee.
3 Take my voice and let me sing
always, only, for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
filled with messages from thee,
filled with messages from thee.
4 Take my silver and my gold;
not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
every power as thou shalt choose,
every power as thou shalt choose.
5 Take my will and make it thine;
it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne,
it shall be thy royal throne.
6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
at thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself, and I will be
ever, only, all for thee,
ever, only, all for thee.

Glory to thee, my God, this night,
for all the blessings of the light:
keep me, O keep me, King of kings,
beneath thine own almighty wings.
Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
the ill that I this day have done;
that with the world, myself, and thee,
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
Teach me to live, that I may dread
the grave as little as my bed;
teach me to die, that so I may
rise glorious at the awful day.
O may my soul on thee repose,
and with sweet sleep mine eyelids close;
sleep that shall me more vigorous make
to serve my God when I awake.
When in the night I sleepless lie,
my soul with heavenly thoughts supply;
let no ill dreams disturb my rest,
no powers of darkness me molest.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
praise him, all creatures here below;
praise him above, ye heavenly host:
praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

O feed me, Lord, that I may feed

O Thou who camest from above,
Thy hungering ones with manna sweet.
The pure celestial fire to impart,

Kindle a flame of sacred love

O strengthen me, that while I stand
Upon the mean altar of my heart.
Firm on the rock, and strong in Thee,

I may stretch out a loving hand

There let it for Thy glory burn
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
With inextinguishable blaze,

[or, Unquenched, undimmed, in darkest

O teach me, Lord, that I may teach

And trembling to its source return,
And wing my words, that they may reach
In humble prayer and fervent praise.
The hidden depths of many a heart.

Jesus, confirm my heart’s desire

O give Thine own sweet rest to me,
To work and speak and think for Thee;
That I may speak with soothing power
Still let me guard the holy fire,
A word in season, as from Thee,
And still stir up Thy gift in me.
To weary ones in needful hour.

Ready for all Thy perfect will,

Till death Thy endless mercies seal,
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.

For His mercies aye endure,

I need Thy presence every passing hour; Refrain

bitterness;
Looked upon our misery.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy
victory?

I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. Refrain

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing

eyes;
He the golden tressèd sun
Shine through the gloom and point me to
the skies; Caused all day his course to run.

All things living He doth feed,

His full hand supplies their need.

Let us, with a gladsome mind,

Praise the Lord, for He is kind.

All Glory Laud and Honour
1 All glory, laud, and honor
to you, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
You are the King of Israel
and David's royal Son,
now in the Lord's name coming,
the King and Blessed One.
2 The company of angels
is praising you on high;
and we with all creation
in chorus make reply.
The people of the Hebrews
with palms before you went;
our praise and prayer and
anthems
before you we present.
3 To you before your passion
they sang their hymns of praise;
to you, now high exalted,
our melody we raise.
As you received their praises,
accept the prayers we bring,
for you delight in goodness,
O good and gracious King!
At the name of Jesus
At the name of Jesus every knee
shall bow,
every tongue confess him King of
glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure we
should call him Lord,
who from the beginning was the
mighty Word.
2 At his voice creation sprang at
once to sight:
all the angel faces, all the hosts
of light,
thrones and dominations, stars
upon their way,
all the heavenly orders in their
great array.
3 Humbled for a season, to
receive a name
from the lips of sinners, unto
whom he came;
faithfully he bore it spotless to
the last,
brought it back victorious when
from death he passed;
4 bore it up triumphant, with its
human light,
through all ranks of creatures, to
the central height,
to the throne of Godhead, to the
Father's breast,
filled it with the glory of that
perfect rest.
5 In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not
true.
Look to him, your Savior, in
temptations' hour;
let his will enfold you in its light
and power.
6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall
return again,
with his Father's glory o'er the
earth to reign;
for all wreaths of empire meet
upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King
of glory now.
Come Let us join our cheerful
songs
Come, let us join our cheerful
songs
with angels round the throne;
ten thousand thousand are their
tongues,
but all their joys are one.
2 'Worthy the Lamb that died,'
they cry,
'to be exalted thus';
'Worthy the Lamb,' our lips reply,
'for he was slain for us.’
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
honour and power divine;
and blessings, more than we can
give,
be, Lord, for ever thine.
4 Let all that dwell above the sky,
and air, and earth, and seas,
conspire to lift thy glories high,
and speak thine endless praise.
5 The whole creation joins in one
to bless the sacred name
of him that sits upon the throne,
and to adore the Lamb.
Crown Him with many crowns
1. Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark! How the heav’nly anthem
drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul and sing
Of Him Who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless
King
Through all eternity.
2. Crown Him the Lord of love!
Behold His hands and side—
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends His
wond’ring eye
At mysteries so bright.
3. Crown Him the Lord of life!
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
Who rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
4. Crown Him the Lord of heav’n!
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit through Him
giv’n
From yonder glorious throne,
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died;
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless
days
Adored and magnified.
Joyful, joyful we adore Thee
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of
glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; drive
the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the
light of day!
All Thy works with joy surround Thee,
earth and heaven reflect Thy rays,
Stars and angels sing around Thee, center
of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Singing bird and flowing fountain call us
to rejoice in Thee.

Thou art giving and forgiving, ever
blessing, ever blessed,
Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean
depth of happy rest!
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother, all
who live in love are Thine;
Teach us how to love each other, lift us to
the joy divine.
Mortals, join the happy chorus, which the
morning stars began;
Father love is reigning o’er us, brother
love binds man to man.
Ever singing, march we onward, victors in
the midst of strife,
Joyful music leads us Sunward in the
triumph song of life.
Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus, ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy and crown.
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the
woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.
Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels Heav’n can boast.
All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly,
Wondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee;
None can be nearer, fairer or dearer,
Than Thou, my Savior, art to me.
Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forever more be Thine.
Lo He comes with clouds
decending
Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
once for our salvation slain;
thousand thousand saints attending
swell the triumph of his train:
Alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!
Christ the Lord returns to reign.
Every eye shall now behold him,
robed in dreadful majesty;
those who set at nought and sold him,
pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
deeply wailing, deeply wailing, deeply
wailing,
shall the true Messiah see.
Those dear tokens of his passion
still his dazzling body bears,
cause of endless exultation
to his ransomed worshipers;
with what rapture, with what rapture, with
what rapture
gaze we on those glorious scars!
Now redemption, long expected,
see in solemn pomp appear;
all his saints, by man rejected,
now shall meet him in the air:
Alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!
See the day of God appear!
Yea, amen! let all adore thee,
high on thine eternal throne;
Savior, take the power and glory;
claim the kingdom for thine own:
Alleluia! alleluia! alleluia!
Thou shalt reign, and thou alone.
o worship the King
O worship the King,
all glorious above!
O gratefully sing
his power and his love!
Our shield and defender,
the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor,
and girded with praise.
O tell of his might!
O sing of his grace!
Whose robe is the light,
whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath
the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path
on the wings of the storm.
The earth, with its store
of wonders untold,
Almighty, thy power
hath founded of old,
hath 'stablished it fast
by a changeless decree,
and round it hath cast,
like a mantle, the sea.
Thy bountiful care,
what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air;
it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills,
it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills
in the dew and the rain.
Frail children of dust,
and feeble as frail,
in thee do we trust,
nor find thee to fail;
thy mercies, how tender!
How firm to the end!
Our Maker, Defender,
Redeemer, and Friend!
O measureless Might,
ineffable Love,
while angels delight
to worship thee above,
the humbler creation,
though feeble their lays,
with true adoration
shall all sing thy praise
praise to the Lord the Almighty
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty,
the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy
health and salvation!
All ye who hear,
Now to His temple draw near;
Sing now in glad adoration!
2
Praise to the Lord, who o’er all
things so wondrously reigneth,
Who, as on wings of an eagle,
uplifteth, sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen
How thy desires all have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
3
Praise to the Lord, who hath fearfully,
wondrously, made thee!
Health hath vouchsafed and, when
heedlessly falling, hath stayed thee.
What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief?
Wings of His mercy did shade thee.
4
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper
thy work and defend thee,
Who from the heavens the streams of
His mercy doth send thee.
Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do,
Who with His love doth befriend thee.
5
Praise to the Lord! Oh, let all that
is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come
now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen
Sound from His people again;
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
be Thou my vision
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
be all else but naught to me, save that thou
art;
be thou my best thought in the day and the
night,
both waking and sleeping, thy presence my
light.
Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true
word,
be thou ever with me, and I with thee
Lord;
be thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee
one.
Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the
fight;
be thou my whole armor, be thou my true
might;
be thou my soul's shelter, be thou my
strong tower:
O raise thou me heavenward, great Power
of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise:
be thou mine inheritance now and always;
be thou and thou only the first in my heart;
O Sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou
art.
High King of heaven, thou heaven's bright
sun,
O grant me its joys after victory is won;
great Heart of my own heart, whatever
befall,
still be thou my vision, O Ruler of
all.Jesus, Lover of my soul
nearer my God to Thee
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
2
Though, like a wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness comes over me,
My rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
3
There let me see the sight,
An open heaven;
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
4
Then, with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise,
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee.
All people that on Earth do
dwell
All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice:
him serve with mirth, his praise forth
tell,
come ye before him and rejoice.
The Lord, ye know, is God indeed;
without our aid he did us make:
we are his folk, he doth us feed,
and for his sheep he doth us take.
O enter then his gates with praise,
approach with joy his courts unto;
praise, laud, and bless his Name always,
for it is seemly so to do.
For why? the Lord our God is good,
his mercy is for ever sure;
his truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure.
Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways!

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

the God whom heaven and earth adore,
from men and from the angel host
be praise and glory evermore.How firm
a Foundation

Praise to the Holiest

Praise to the Holiest in the height,

and in the depth be praise;
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways!

O loving wisdom of our God!

When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.

O wisest love! that flesh and blood,

which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive, and should prevail;

and that the highest gift of grace

should flesh and blood refine:
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.

O generous love! that he who smote

in man for ma the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo.

And in the garden secretly,

and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.

voice;

Firm is his promise, and his mercy sure.
Tell out, my soul, the greatness of the
Lord
to children's children and for evermore!
The King of Love
1 The King of love my shepherd
is,
whose goodness faileth never.
I nothing lack if I am his,
and he is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water
flow,
my ransomed soul he leadeth;
and where the verdant pastures
grow,
with food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish, oft I
strayed,
but yet in love he sought me;
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill,
with thee, dear Lord, beside me;
thy rod and staff my comfort still,
thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spreadst a table in my
sight;
thy unction grace bestoweth;
and oh, what transport of delight
from thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of
days,
thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy
praise
within thy house forever.
The Lord’s My Shepherd
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want.
he makes me down to lie
in pastures green; he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.
My soul he doth restore again;
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
even for his own Name's sake.
Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale,
yet will I fear no ill;
for thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff my comfort still.
My table thou hast furnished
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me;
and in God's house forevermore
my dwelling place shall be.
Jesus THy blood and
Righteousness
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
’Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
Bold shall I stand in Thy great day;
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully absolved through these I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb,
Who from the Father’s bosom came,
Who died for me, e’en me to atone,
Now for my Lord and God I own.
Lord, I believe Thy precious blood,
Which, at the mercy seat of God,
Forever doth for sinners plead,
For me, e’en for my soul, was shed.
Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
Thou hast for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.
When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
Ev’n then this shall be all my plea,
Jesus hath lived, hath died, for me.
This spotless robe the same appears,
When ruined nature sinks in years;
No age can change its glorious hue,
The robe of Christ is ever new.
Jesus, the endless praise to Thee,
Whose boundless mercy hath for me—
For me a full atonement made,
An everlasting ransom paid.
O let the dead now hear Thy voice;
Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness.
Man of Sorrows
1 Man of sorrows what a name
for the Son of God, who came
ruined sinners to reclaim:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
2 Bearing shame and scoffing
rude,
in my place condemned he stood,
sealed my pardon with his blood:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
3 Guilty, helpless, lost were we;
blameless Lamb of God was he,
sacrificed to set us free:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
4 He was lifted up to die;
"It is finished" was his cry;
now in heaven exalted high:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
5 When he comes, our glorious
King,
all his ransomed home to bring,
then anew this song we'll sing:
Hallelujah, what a Savior!
O sacred Head
O sacred Head, now wounded, with grief
and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded with thorns,
Thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory, what bliss till
now was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call
Thee mine.
What Thou, my Lord, hast suffered, was
all for sinners’ gain;
Mine, mine was the transgression, but
Thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior! ’Tis I deserve
Thy place;
Look on me with Thy favor, vouchsafe to
me Thy grace.
Men mock and taunt and jeer Thee, Thou
noble countenance,
Though mighty worlds shall fear Thee and
flee before Thy glance.
How art thou pale with anguish, with sore
abuse and scorn!
How doth Thy visage languish that once
was bright as morn!
Now from Thy cheeks has vanished their
color once so fair;
From Thy red lips is banished the splendor
that was there.
Grim death, with cruel rigor, hath robbed
Thee of Thy life;
Thus Thou hast lost Thy vigor, Thy
strength in this sad strife.
My burden in Thy Passion, Lord, Thou
hast borne for me,
For it was my transgression which brought
this woe on Thee.
I cast me down before Thee, wrath were
my rightful lot;
Have mercy, I implore Thee; Redeemer,
spurn me not!
What language shall I borrow to thank
Thee, dearest friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow, Thy pity
without end?
O make me Thine forever, and should I
fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never outlive my love
to Thee.
My Shepherd, now receive me; my
Guardian, own me Thine.
Great blessings Thou didst give me, O
source of gifts divine.
Thy lips have often fed me with words of
truth and love;
Thy Spirit oft hath led me to heavenly joys
above.
Here I will stand beside Thee, from Thee I
will not part;
O Savior, do not chide me! When breaks
Thy loving heart,
When soul and body languish in death’s
cold, cruel grasp,
Then, in Thy deepest anguish, Thee in
mine arms I’ll clasp.
The joy can never be spoken, above all
joys beside,
When in Thy body broken I thus with
safety hide.
O Lord of Life, desiring Thy glory now to
see,
Beside Thy cross expiring, I’d breathe my
soul to Thee.
My Savior, be Thou near me when death is
at my door;
Then let Thy presence cheer me, forsake
me nevermore!
When soul and body languish, oh, leave
me not alone,
But take away mine anguish by virtue of
Thine own!
Be Thou my consolation, my shield when I
must die;
Remind me of Thy passion when my last
hour draws nigh.
Mine eyes shall then behold Thee, upon
Thy cross shall dwell,
My heart by faith enfolds Thee. Who dieth
thus dies well.
Rock of Ages
1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which
flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me
pure.
2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting
breath,
when mine eyes shall close in
death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
There is a Green Hill
There is a green hill far away,
outside a city wall,
where our dear Lord was crucified
who died to save us all.
We may not know, we cannot tell,
what pains he had to bear,
but we believe it was for us
he hung and suffered there.
He died that we might be forgiven,
he died to make us good,
that we might go at last to heaven,
saved by his precious blood.
There was no other good enough
to pay the price of sin,
he only could unlock the gate
of heaven and let us in.
O dearly, dearly has he loved!
And we must love him too,
and trust in his redeeming blood,
and try his works to do.
And did THose feet
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon Englands mountains green:
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!
And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?
Bring me my Bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my Chariot of fire!
I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.
All the way my saviour Leads
me
All the way my Savior leads me;
What have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt His tender mercy,
Who through life has been my
Guide?
Heav’nly peace, divinest comfort,
Here by faith in Him to dwell!
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well,
For I know, whate’er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.
2
All the way my Savior leads me,
Cheers each winding path I tread,
Gives me grace for every trial,
Feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
And my soul athirst may be,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! a spring of joy I see,
Gushing from the Rock before me,
Lo! a spring of joy I see.
3 let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
All the way my Savior leads me;
Oh, the fullness of His grace!
Perfect rest to me is promised
In my Father’s blest embrace.
When my spirit, clothed immortal,
Wings its flight to realms of day,
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way,
This my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way.
Dear Lord and Father of
Mankind
Dear Lord and Father of mankind,
forgive our foolish ways!
Re-clothe us in our rightful mind,
in purer lives thy service find,
in deeper reverence, praise;
in deeper reverence, praise.
In simple trust like theirs who heard,
beside the Syrian sea,
the gracious calling of the Lord,
let us, like them, without a word,
rise up and follow thee;
rise up and follow thee.
O Sabbath rest by Galilee!
O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity
interpreted by love!
interpreted by love!
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and
stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace;
the beauty of thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
speak through the earthquake, wind,
and fire,
O still, small voice of calm;
O still, small voice of calm.
How sweet the Name
How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
and drives away his fear.
It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary, rest.
Dear Name, the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace!
Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy Name
refresh my soul in death!
Lord of Hopefulness
Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares
could destroy,
Be there at our waking, and give us,
we pray,
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord,
At the break of the day.
Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,
Whose strong hands were skilled at
the plane and the lathe,
Be there at our labours and give us,
we pray,
Your strength in our hearts, Lord,
At the noon of the day.
Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,
Your hands swift to welcome, Your
arms to embrace.
Be there at our homing, and give us,
we pray,
Your love in our hearts, Lord,
At the eve of the day.
Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
Whose voice is contentment, whose
presence is balm,
Be there at our sleeping, and give us,
we pray,
Your peace in our hearts, Lord,
At the end of the day.
Judge Eternal Throned in
Splendour.
Judge eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of thy wings.
Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release,
and the city's crowded clangor
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
Crown, O God, thine own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with thy sword;
feed all those who do not know thee
with the richness of thy word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord.

Volume 4
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain—
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be,
That Thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
’Tis mystery all: th’Immortal dies:
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
To sound the depths of love divine.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.
’Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;
Let angel minds inquire no more.
He left His Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite His grace—
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race:
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For O my God, it found out me!
’Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For O my God, it found out me!
Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.
Still the small inward voice I hear,
That whispers all my sins forgiven;
Still the atoning blood is near,
That quenched the wrath of hostile
Heaven.
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel the Savior in my heart.
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel the Savior in my heart.
No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
Alive in Him, my living head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my
own.
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my
own.

Soldiers of Christ, arise, Take every virtue, every grace,

And put your armor on, And fortify the whole;

Strong in the strength which God supplies Indissolubly joined,

Through His eternal Son. To battle all proceed;

Strong in the Lord of hosts, But arm yourselves with all the mind

And in His mighty power, That was in Christ, your head.

Who in the strength of Jesus trusts

Is more than conqueror. Let truth the girdle be,

That binds your armor on,

Stand then in His great might, In faithful, firm sincerity

With all His strength endued, To Jesus cleave alone.

And take, to arm you for the fight, Let faith and love combine

The panoply of God; To guard your valiant breast:

That, having all things done, The plate be righteousness divine,

And all your conflicts past, Imputed, and impressed.

Ye may o’ercome through Christ alone

And stand entire at last. Still let your feet be shod,

Ready His will to do,

Stand then against your foes, Ready in all the ways of God

In close and firm array; His glory to pursue:

Legions of wily fiends oppose Ruin is spread beneath,

Throughout the evil day; The Gospel greaves put on,

But meet the sons of night, And safe through all the snares of death

And mock their vain design, To life eternal run.

Armed in the arms of heavenly light,

Of righteousness divine. But, above all, lay hold

On faith’s victorious shield;

Leave no unguarded place, Armed with that adamant and gold,

No weakness of the soul, Be sure to win the field:

If faith surround your heart, Spirit and soul with this divide,

Satan shall be subdued, And joints and marrow part.

Repelled his every fiery dart,

And quenched with Jesus’ blood. To keep your armor bright,

Attend with constant care,

Jesus hath died for you! Still walking in your captain’s sight,

What can His love withstand? And watching unto prayer.

Believe, hold fast your shield, and who Ready for all alarms,

Shall pluck you from His hand? Steadfastly set your face,

Believe that Jesus reigns, And always exercise your arms,

All power to Him is given: And use your every grace.

Believe, till freed from sin’s remains;

Believe yourselves to Heaven. Pray without ceasing, pray,

Your captain gives the word;

Your Rock can never shake: His summons cheerfully obey

Hither, He saith, come up! And call upon the Lord;

The helmet of salvation take, To God your every want

The confidence of hope: In instant prayer display,

Hope for His perfect love, Pray always; pray and never faint,

Hope for His people’s rest, Pray, without ceasing, pray!

Hope to sit down with Christ above,

And share the marriage feast. In fellowship; alone,

To God with faith draw near;

Brandish in faith till then Approach His courts, besiege His throne

The Spirit’s two-edged sword, With all the powers of prayer:

Hew all the snares of fiends and men Go to His temple, go,

In pieces with the Word; Nor from His altar move;

’Tis written; This applied Let every house His worship know,

Baffles their strength and art; And every heart His love.

To God your spirits dart,
Your souls in words declare,
Or groan, to Him who reads the heart,
The unutterable prayer.
His mercy now implore,
And now show forth His praise,
In shouts, or silent awe, adore
His miracles of grace.
Pour out your souls to God,
And bow them with your knees,
And spread your hearts and hands
abroad,
And pray for Sion’s peace;
Your guides, and brethren, bear
For ever on your mind;
Extend the arms of mighty prayer,
In grasping all mankind.
From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray,
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day;
Still let the Spirit cry
In all His soldiers, Come!
Till Christ the Lord descends from high
And takes the conquerors home.
I stand amazed in the
presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Refrain
O how marvelous! O how
wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O how
wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
For me it was in the garden
He prayed: “Not My will, but
Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine.
Refrain
In pity angels beheld Him,
And came from the world of light
To comfort Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.
Refrain
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone.
Refrain
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.
Refrain
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell.
It goes beyond the highest star
 And reaches to the lowest hell. The Redeemer has come!

The guilty pair, bowed down with care, Go look on His cradle,

God gave His Son to win; His cross, and His tomb.

His erring child He reconciled

And pardoned from his sin. Refrain

O love of God, how rich and pure!

How measureless and strong! Sound His praises, tell the story,

It shall forevermore endure— Of Him Who was slain;

The saints’ and angels’ song. Sound His praises, tell with gladness,

2 He liveth again.

When hoary time shall pass away,

And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall; Rejoice and be glad!

When men who here refuse to pray, It is sunshine at last!

On rocks and hills and mountains call; The clouds have departed,

God’s love, so sure, shall still endure, The shadows are past.

All measureless and strong;

Redeeming grace to Adam’s race— Sound His praises, tell the story,

The saints’ and angels’ song. Of Him Who was slain;

3 Sound His praises, tell with gladness,

Could we with ink the ocean fill, He liveth again.

And were the skies of parchment made;

Were every stalk on earth a quill, Rejoice and be glad!

And every man a scribe by trade; For the blood hath been shed;

To write the love of God above Redemption is finished,

Would drain the ocean dry; The price has been paid.

Nor could the scroll contain the whole,

Though stretched from sky to sky. Sound His praises, tell the story,

Of Him Who was slain;

Rejoice and be glad! Sound His praises, tell with gladness,

He liveth again.
Rejoice and be glad!
Now the pardon is free!
The Just for the unjust
Has died on the tree.
Sound His praises, tell the story,
Of Him Who was slain;
Sound His praises, tell with gladness,
He liveth again.
Rejoice and be glad!
For the Lamb that was slain
O’er death is triumphant,
And liveth again.
Sound His praises, tell the story,
Of Him Who was slain;
Sound His praises, tell with gladness,
He liveth again.
Rejoice and be glad!
For our King is on high,
He pleadeth for us on
His throne in the sky.
Sound His praises, tell the story,
Of Him Who was slain;
Sound His praises, tell with gladness,
He liveth again.
Rejoice and be glad!
For He cometh again;
He cometh to glory,
The Lamb that was slain.
Sound His praises, tell the story,
Of Him Who was slain;
Sound His praises, tell with gladness,
He cometh again.

From heaven you came, helpless babe,
Entered our world, your glory veiled;
Not to be served but to serve,
And give your life that we might live.
This is our God, the Servant King,
He calls us now to follow him,
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King.
There in the garden of tears,
My heavy load he chose to bear;
His heart with sorrow was torn,
'Yet not my will but yours,' he said.
This is our God, the Servant King,
He calls us now to follow him,
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King.
Come, see his hands and his feet,
The scars that speak of sacrifice,
Hands that flung stars into space
To cruel nails surrendered.
This is our God, the Servant King,
He calls us now to follow him,
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King.
So let us learn how to serve,
And in our lives enthrone him;
Each other's needs to prefer,
For it is Christ we're serving.
This is our God, the Servant King,
He calls us now to follow him,
To bring our lives as a daily offering
Of worship to the Servant King.
1. Jesus bids us shine with a clear,
pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the
night;
In this world of darkness, we must
shine,
You in your small corner, and I in
mine.
2. Jesus bids us shine, first of all for
Him;
Well He sees and knows it if our
light is dim;
He looks down from heaven, sees
us shine,
You in your small corner, and I in
mine.
3. Jesus bids us shine, then, for all
around,
Many kinds of darkness in this
world abound:
Sin, and want, and sorrow—we
must shine,
 You in your small corner, and I in
mine.
1. O perfect Love, all human thought
transcending,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before
Thy throne,
That theirs may be the love which
knows no ending,
Whom Thou forevermore dost join
in one.
2. O perfect Life, be Thou their full
assurance,
Of tender charity and steadfast
faith,
Of patient hope and quiet, brave
endurance,
With childlike trust that fears not
pain nor death.
3. Grant them the joy which
brightens earthly sorrow;
Grant them the peace which calms
all earthly strife;
And to life’s day the glorious
unknown morrow
That dawns upon eternal love and
life.
Nearer, still nearer, close to Thy
heart,
Draw me, my Savior—so precious
Thou art!
Fold me, oh, fold me close to Thy
breast.
Shelter me safe in that “Haven of
Rest”;
Shelter me safe in that “Haven of
Rest.”
Nearer, still nearer, nothing I bring,
Naught as an offering to Jesus, my
King;
Only my sinful, now contrite heart.
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood
doth impart.
Grant me the cleansing Thy blood
doth impart.
Nearer, still nearer, Lord, to be
Thine!
Sin, with its follies, I gladly resign,
All of its pleasures, pomp and its
pride,
Give me but Jesus, my Lord,
crucified.
Give me but Jesus, my Lord,
crucified.
Nearer, still nearer, while life shall
last.
Till safe in glory my anchor is cast;
Through endless ages ever to be
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to
Thee;
Nearer, my Savior, still nearer to
Thee!
1.1. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour
of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care
And bids me at my Father's throne
Make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
My soul has often found relief
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
And oft escaped the tempter's snare
By thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
2.2. Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of
prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
To him whose truth and faithfulness
Engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
Believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my ev'ry care
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
I'll cast on him my ev'ry care
And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!
The First Noel, the
Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in
fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping
their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was
so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them
far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and
night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
And by the light of that same star
Three Wise men came from
country far
To seek for a King was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it
went.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
This star drew nigh to the
northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both Pause and
stay
Right o'er the place where Jesus
lay.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then entered in those Wise men
three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and
frankincense.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made Heaven and earth
of nought
And with his blood mankind has
bought.

Born is the King of Israel!

Sits among the cherubim.

Told us of the Saviour's birth."

Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Hark! The herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn King!"
As with gladness, men of old
Did the guiding star behold
As with joy they hailed its light
Leading onward, beaming bright
So, most glorious Lord, may we
Evermore be led to Thee.
As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger bed
There to bend the knee before
Him Whom Heaven and earth adore;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy seat.
As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin’s alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.
Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
In the heavenly country bright,
Need they no created light;
Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown,
Thou its Sun which goes not down;
There forever may we sing
Alleluias to our King!
Christians, awake, salute the
happy morn
Whereon the Saviour of the world
was born
Rise to adore the mystery of love
Which hosts of angels chanted
from above
With them the joyful tidings first
begun
Of God incarnate and the Virgin's
Son
Then to the watchful shepherds it
was told
Who heard the angelic herald's
voice: "Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's
birth
To you and all the nations upon
earth
This day hath God fulfilled His
promised word;
This day is born a Saviour, Christ
the Lord."
He spake, and straightaway the
celestial choir
In hymns of joy, unknown before,
conspire
The praises of redeeming love
they sang
And heaven's whole orb with
alleluias rang
God's highest glory was their
anthem still
Peace upon earth and unto men
goodwill
To Bethlehem straight the
shepherds ran
To see the wonder God had
wrought for man
And found, with Joseph and the
blessed Maid
Her Son, the Saviour, in a manger
laid
Amazed, the wondrous story they
proclaim
The earliest heralds of the
Saviour's name
Let us, like these good shepherds,
them employ
Our grateful voices to proclaim
the joy
Trace we the Babe, who hath
retrieved our loss
From His poor manger to His
bitter cross
Treading His steps, assisted by His
grace
Till man's first heavenly state
again takes place
Then may we hope, the angelic
thrones among
To sing, redeemed, a glad
triumphal song
He that was born upon this joyful
day
Around us all His glory shall
display
Saved by His love, incessant we
shall sing
Of angels and of angel-men the
King
God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior was
born on Christmas Day;
To save us all from Satan’s power
when we were gone astray.
Refrain

O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
In Bethlehem, in Israel, this
blessèd Babe was born,
And laid within a manger upon
this blessèd morn;
The which His mother Mary did
nothing take in scorn.
Refrain
From God our heavenly Father a
blessèd angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
brought tidings of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
the Son of God by name.
Refrain
“Fear not, then,” said the angel,
“Let nothing you afright
This day is born a Savior of a pure
Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him
from Satan’s power and might.”
Refrain
The shepherds at those tidings
rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feeding in
tempest, storm and wind,
And went to Bethl’em
straightaway this blessèd Babe to
find.
Refrain
But when to Bethlehem they
came where our dear Savior lay,
They found Him in a manger
where oxen feed on hay;
His mother Mary kneeling unto
the Lord did pray.
Refrain
Now to the Lord sing praises all
you within this place,
And with true love and From heavens all gracious King!"
brotherhood each other now
The world in solemn stillness lay
embrace;
To hear the angels sing.
This holy tide of Christmas all
others doth deface.

Still through the cloven skies they

come,
Refrain
With peaceful wings unfurled;

And still their heavenly music

God bless the ruler of this house,
floats
and send him long to reign,
O'er all the weary world:
And many a merry Christmas may
live to see again; Above its sad and lowly plains

Among your friends and kindred They bend on hovering wing,

that live both far and near—
And ever o'er its Babel sounds

The blessed angels sing.

That God send you a happy new
year, happy new year,
O ye beneath life's crushing load,
And God send you a happy new
year. Whose forms are bending low,

Who toil along the climbing way

With painful steps and slow;

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the
earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to
men
Look now, for glad and golden
hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing.
For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophets seen of old,

When with the ever-circling years

Shall come the time foretold,

When the new heaven and earth

shall own

The Prince of Peace, their King,

And the whole world send back

the song

Which now the angels sing.
