INDEX OF FIRST LINES
A parting hymn we sing
A thousand years have come and gone A voice by Jordan's shore . . . Again, as evening's shadow falls . All hail the power of Jesus' Name All people that on earth do dwell . All praise to Thee, my God, this night Almighty God, Thy word is cast And now the wants are told that brought Another six days' work is done . . As with gladness men of old . . . At the Lamb's high feast we sing . Before Jehovah's awful throne . . Blessed night, when first that plain Blest Comforter Divine .... Bread of heaven, on Thee I feed . Christ in His word draws near . . Christ is made the sure Foundation Christ the Lord is risen to-day . . Come, dearest Lord, descend and dwell Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove Come, Holy Spirit, come .... Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove Come, Lord, and tarry not . . Come, Thou Almighty King . . Come, Thou long-expected Jesus Come to our poor nature's night Come, we that love the Lord Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Crown Him with many crowns . Every morning mercies new . . For all the saints who from their labors rest From all that dwell below the skies From all Thy saints in warfare . . From the eastern mountains . . . Go, labor on : spend, and be spent God, in the gospel of His Son . . Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost . . Great God, how infinite art Thou . Hark ! ten thousand harps and voices Hark, the glad sound ! the Saviour comes Hark ! what mean those holy voices . He that goeth forth with weeping . . Holy, Holy, Holy ! Lord God Almighty

2 Still the greatness of Thy love Daily doth our sins remove ; Daily, far as east from west, Lifts the burden from the breast ; Gives unbought to those who pray Strength to stand in evil day.
Let our prayers each morn prevail, That these gifts may never fail ; And, as we confess the sin And the tempter's power within, Every morning, for the strife, Feed us with the Bread of Life.
4 As the morning light returns, As the sun with splendor burns, Teach us still to turn to Thee, Ever-blessed Trinity, With our hands our hearts to raise, In unfailing prayer and praise.
Rev. Greville Phillimore, 1863 : verse r, U. 1,2, alt.

2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep My wearied eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest Forever on my Saviour's breast.
3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without Thee I cannot live ; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without Thee I dare not die.

4 If some poor wandering child of Thine Have spurned to-day the voice Divine, Now, Lord, the gracious work begin ; Let him no more lie down in sin.
5 Watch by the sick ; enrich the poor With blessings from Thy boundless store ; Be every mourner's sleep to-night, Like infants' slumbers, pure and light.
6 Come near and bless us when we wake, Ere through the world our way we take, Till in the ocean of Thy love We lose ourselves in heaven above.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, 4 O may my soul on Thee repose,
The ill that I this day have done ; And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close ;
That with the world, myself, and Thee, Sleep that may me more vigorous make I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. To serve my God when I awake.
3 Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed ; To die, that this vile body may Rise glorious at the awful day.
5 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.
6 O when shall I, in endless day For ever chase dark sleep away, And hymns with the supernal choir Incessant sing, and never tire !
Bishop Thomas Ken, 1693 (text of 1709)

1 O LIGHT of life, O Saviour dear, Before we sleep bow down Thine ear : Through dark and day, o'er land and sea, We have no other hope but Thee.
2 Oft from Thy royal road we part, Lost in the mazes of the heart : Our lamps put out, our course forgot, We seek for God, and find Him not.
What sudden sunbeams cheer our sight ! What dawning risen upon the night ! Thou giv'st Thyself to us, and we Find guide and path and all in Thee.
4 Through day and darkness, Saviour dear, Abide with us, more nearly near ; Till on Thy face we lift our eyes, The Sun of God's own Paradise.
Praise God, our Maker and our Friend ; Praise Him through time, till time shall end ; Till psalm and song His Name adore Through heaven's great day of evermore.

2 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from Thee ; Thou art He who, never weary, Watchest where Thy people be.
3 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly,
Angel-guards from Thee surround us ; We are safe if Thou art nigh.
Should swift death this night o'ertake us, And our couch become our tomb,
May the morn in heaven awake us, Clad in light and deathless bloom.

The sun, that bids us rest, is waking Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
So be it, Lord ; Thy throne shall never, Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
But stand, and rule, and grow for ever, Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway.

2 Around the throne on high,
Where night can never be, The white-robed harpers of the sky Bring ceaseless hymns to Thee.
3 Too faint our anthems here ;
Too soon of praise we tire :
But O the strains, how full and clear, Of that eternal choir !
Yet, Lord, to Thy dear will
If Thou attune the heart, We in Thine angels' music still
May bear our lower part.
'Tis Thine each soul to calm, Each wayward thought reclaim,
And make our life a daily psalm Of glory to Thy Name.
A little while, and then
Shall come the glorious end ;
And songs of angels and of men In perfect praise shall blend.

Our foresight cannot see ; But be it joy or sorrow,

Where'er our steps may move, The staff of Thy sure promise,

2 On Thee our whole reliance
From day to day we cast, To Thee, with firm affiance,

For needful grace we come, And trust that Thy good Spirit
Will guide us safely home.

2 How sweetly rest Thy saints above 4 Welcome and dear unto my soul
Which in Thy bosom lie ; Are these sweet feasts of love ;
The Church below doth rest in hope But what a Sabbath shall I keep
Of that felicity. When I shall rest above !
3 Thou, Lord, who daily feed'st Thy sheep, 5 I bless Thy wise and wondrous love,
Mak'st them a weekly feast ; Which binds us to be free ;
Thy flocks meet in their several folds Which makes us leave our earthly snares,
Upon this day of rest. That we may come to Thee.
6 I come, I wait, I hear, I pray, Thy footsteps, Lord, I trace ; I sing to think this is the way Unto my Saviour's face.

Fount of all our joy and peace, To Thy living waters lead me ;
Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed me ;
Bless Thy word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love.
Kindle Thou the sacrifice That upon my lips is lying ;
Clear the shadows from mine eyes, That, from every error flying,
No strange fire may in me glow
That Thine altar doth not know.
4 Let me with my heart to-day,
Holy, Holy, Holy, singing, Rapt awhile from earth away,
All my soul to Thee upspringing, Have a foretaste inly given How they worship Thee in heaven.
5 Rest in me, and I in Thee ;
Build a paradise within me ; O reveal Thyself to me,
Blessed Love, who diedst to win me ; Fed from Thine exhaustless urn, Pure and bright my lamp shall burn.
6 Hence all care, all vanity,
For the day to God is holy ; Come, Thou glorious Majesty,
Deign to fill this temple lowly ; Nought to-day my soul shall move, Simply resting in Thy love.

2 Now met to pray, and bless Thy Name, 4 In Thy blest kingdom we shall be
Whose mercies flow each day the same, From every mortal trouble free ;
Whose kind compassions never cease, No sighs shall mingle with the songs
We seek instruction, pardon, peace. Resounding from immortal tongues ;
3 Thy day of rest, O Lord, we love, But look for truer rest above ; To that our laboring souls aspire With ardent hope and strong desire.
5 No rude alarms of raging foes ; No cares to break the long repose ; No midnight shade, no waning moon, But sacred, high, eternal noon.
6 O long-expected day, begin,
Dawn on these realms of woe and sin ! Break, morn of God, upon our eyes ; And let the world's true Sun arise !
Rev. Philip Doddridge, 1737 : alt. Cotterill's Sel. 1819; and elsewhere
41 (GRACE CHURCH) L. M.
1 SWEET is the work, my God, my King, 3 My heart shall triumph in my Lord, To praise Thy Name, give thanks, and sing ; And bless His works, and bless His word : To show Thy love by morning light, Thy works of grace, how bright they shine !
And talk of all Thy truth at night. How deep Thy counsels, how Divine !
2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest ; No mortal care shall seize my breast : O may my heart in tune be found, Like David's harp of solemn sound.
4 But I shall share a glorious part When grace hath well refined my heart, And fresh supplies of joy are shed, Like holy oil to cheer my head.
5 Then shall I see, and hear, and know, All I desired or wished below ; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy.

2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns 4 This heavenly calm within the breast So sweet a rest to wearied minds, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest, Provides an antepast of heaven, Which for the Church of God remains, And gives this day the food of seven. The end of cares, the end of pains.
3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise, 5 In holy duties let the day, As grateful incense, to the skies ; In holy pleasures, pass away :
And draw from heaven that sweet repose, How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend, Which none but he that feels it knows. In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

2 Our broken spirits pitying see,
And penitence impart ; Then let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart.
3 When our responsive tongues essay
Their grateful hymns to raise, Grant that our souls may join the lay, And mount to Thee in praise.
When we disclose our wants in prayer,
May we our wills resign ; And not a thought our bosom share
Which is not wholly Thine.
Let faith each meek petition fill,
And waft it to the skies ; And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still
That grants it, or denies.

1 O GOD of hosts, the mighty Lord, 4 For in Thy courts one single day
How lovely is the place 'Tis better to attend,
Where Thou, enthroned in glory, show'st Than, Lord, in any place besides
The brightness of Thy face. A thousand days to spend.
2 O Lord of hosts, my King and God, How highly blest are they Who in Thy temple always dwell, And there Thy praise display.
5 For God, who is our Sun and Shield, Will grace and glory give ; And no good thing will He withhold From them that justly live.
3 Thrice happy they whose choice has Thee 6 Thou God, whom heavenly hosts obey,
Their sure protection made ; How highly blest is he
Who long to tread the sacred ways Whose hope and trust, securely placed,
That to Thy dwelling lead. Is still reposed on Thee.

2 Yes, my God, I come before Thee, Come Thou also down to me ;
Where we find Thee and adore Thee, There a heaven on earth must be.
To my heart O enter Thou,
Let it be Thy temple now.
3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown ;
Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone ;
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
4 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee,
Let Thy will be done indeed ; May I undisturbed draw near Thee
While Thou dost Thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows, Here is balm for all our woes.

COME, Thou Almighty King, Help us Thy Name to sing,
Help us to praise : Father, all-glorious, O'er all victorious, Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of days.
Come, Thou Incarnate Word. Gird on Thy mighty sword,
Our prayer attend : Come, and Thy people bless, And give Thy word success ; Spirit of holiness,
On us descend.
Copyright, 189^ by THE TRUSTEES OF THE PRESBYTERIAN BOARD OF PUBLICATION AND SABBATH-SCHOOL WORK
3 We would sing as in the rays
Of mercy ever bright, Which endureth, to Thy praise,
For ever Thy delight : Sing for happiness we know, Or that we may happy grow.
4 We would pray as those who stand
Their truest Friend beside, Whom He takes as by the hand,
Unto their God to guide ; By His power, and for His sake, Fully us Thy children make.
Rev. Thomas T. Lynch, 1S5;
Come, Holy Comforter, Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour : Thou who almighty art, Now rule in even- heart, And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.
To the great One in Three Eternal praises be
Hence evermore. His sovereign majesty May we in glory see, And to eternity
Love and adore.

2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way ; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day : Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon Thy Name.
3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night ; Turn Thou for us its darkness into light ;
From harm and danger keep Thy children free, For dark and light are both alike to Thee.
4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife ; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.
Rev. John Ellerton, 1866 [Text of iS
74. (TIVERTON) C. M.
1 Almighty God, Thy word is cast
Like seed upon the ground ;
O may it grow in humble hearts,
And righteous fruits abound.
2 Let not the foe of Christ and man
This holy seed remove, But give it root in praying souls To bring forth fruits of love.
3 Let not the world's deceitful cares
The rising plant destroy, But may it, in converted minds, Produce the fruits of joy.
4 Let not Thy word, so kindly sent
To raise us to Thy throne, Return to Thee, and sadly tell That we reject Thy Son.

2 The hope of heaven's eternal days 4 0 wondrous peace, in thought to dwell
Absorbs not all the heart On excellence Divine :
That gives Thee glory, love, and praise, To know that nought in man can tell
For being what Thou art. How fair Thy beauties shine.
3 For Thou art God, the One, the same, 5 0 Thou, above all blessing blest,
O'er all things high and bright : O'er thanks exalted far,
And round us, when we speak Thy Name, Thy very greatness is a rest There spreads a heaven of light. To weaklings as we are ;
6 For when we feel the praise of Thee A task beyond our powers, We say, ■■' A perfect God is He, And He is fully ours."

And calls me back to care, Each day returning to begin With Thee, my God, in prayer.

And evening calms the mind ; The setting as the rising sun

The signal of repose, Calm in the shadow of Thy wings, Mine eyelids I would close.

And in Thee do all things live, Be to Thee all honor paid ;
Praise to Thee let all things give, Singing everlastingly
To the blessed Trinity.
3 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand,
Spirits blest, before Thy throne, Speeding thence at Thy command ;
And, when Thy behests are done, Singing everlastingly

4 Cherubim and seraphim
Veil their faces with their wings ; Eyes of angels are too dim
To behold the King of kings, While they sing eternally To the blessed Trinity.

Thee the Church in every land ;

To Thee the powers on high, Both cherubim and seraphim, Continually do cry : —
3 O Holy, Holy, Holy Lord,
Whom heavenly hosts obey, The world is with the glory filled Of Thy majestic ray.
4 The apostles' glorious company, And prophets crowned with light,
With all the martyrs' noble host, Thy constant praise recite.
5 The holy Church throughout the world, O Lord, confesses Thee,
That Thou Eternal Father art, Of boundless majesty ;
6 Thy honored, true, and only Son ; And Holy Ghost, the Spring Of never-ceasing joy : O Christ, Of glory Thou art King.

2 He sends His showers of blessing down 4 His hoary frost, His fleecy snow,
To cheer the plains below ; Descend and clothe the ground ;
He makes the grass the mountains crown, The liquid streams forbear to flow, And corn in valleys grow. In icy fetters bound.
3 His steady counsels change the face 5 He sends His word, and melts the snow ;
Of the declining year ; The fields no longer mourn ;
He bids the sun cut short his race, He calls the warmer gales to blow,
And wintry days appear. And bids the spring return.
6 The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey His mighty word : With songs and honors sounding loud Praise ye the sovereign Lord.

2 Thy throne eternal ages stood, /
Ere seas or stars were made : Thou art the ever-living God, Were all the nations dead.

1 MY God, how wonderful Thou art,
Thy majesty how bright ! How beautiful Thy mercy-seat, In depths of burning light !
2 How dread are Thine eternal years,
O Everlasting Lord, By prostrate spirits, day and night, Incessantly adored !
4 Yet I may love Thee too, O Lord,
Almighty as Thou art ; For Thou hast stooped to ask of me The love of my poor heart.
5 No earthly father loves like Thee,
No mother half so mild Bears and forbears, as Thou hast done With me, Thy sinful child.
3 O how I fear Thee, living God, 6 Father of Jesus, love's Reward !
With deepest, tenderest fears ; What rapture will it be,
And worship Thee with trembling hope, Prostrate before Thy throne to He,
And penitential tears. And gaze and gaze on Thee.

Praise, laud, and bless His Name always, For it is seemly so to do.
2 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. 4 For why? the Lord our God is good
His mercy is for ever sure ;

Approach with joy His courts unto ; And shall from age to age endure.

2 His sovereign power, without our aid, 4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful
Made us of clay, and formed us men ; songs,
And when like wandering sheep we strayed, High as the heavens our voices raise ;
He brought us to His fold again.
3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame ;
What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy Name ?
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is Thy command,
Vast as eternity Thy love ; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

Strings and voices, hands and hearts, In the concert bear your parts ; All that breathe, your Lord adore, Praise Him, praise Him, evermore.
Rev. Henry F. Lyte, 1S34
4 And can man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No : the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart arid voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice, Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above.
2 Praise the Lord, His mercies trace ; Praise His providence and grace, All that He for man hath done, All He sends us through His Son :
I09 (POSEN) 7 7 77
1 SONGS of praise the angels sang, Heaven with alleluias rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When He spake, and it was done.
2 Songs of praise awoke the morn. When the Prince of Peace was born : Songs of praise arose, when He Captive led captivity.
3 Heaven and earth must pass away, 6 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall crown that day : Songs of praise shall conquer death :
God will make new heavens, new earth, Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise shall hail their birth. Songs of praise their powers emplov.

2 O love of God, how deep and great ! Far deeper than man's deepest hate ; Self-fed, self-kindled like the light, Changeless, eternal, infinite.
3 O heavenly love, how precious still, In days of weariness and ill,
In nights of pain and helplessness, To heal, to comfort, and to bless !
4 O wide-embracing, wondrous love ! We read thee in the sky above, We read thee in the earth below,
In seas that swell, and streams that flow.
WINCHESTER NEW L. M.
5 We read thee best in Him who came To bear for us the cross of shame ; Sent by the Father from on high, Our life to live, our death to die.
6 We read thy power to bless and save, E'en in the darkness of the grave ; Still more in resurrection light,
We read the fulness of thy might.
7 O love of God, our shield and stay Through all the perils of our way I Eternal love, in thee we rest,
For ever safe, for ever blest.

2 In darkness willingly I strayed ;
I sought Thee, yet from Thee I roved ; For wide my wandering thoughts were spread ;. Thy creatures more than Thee I loved ; And now, if more at length I see, 4
'Tis through Thy light, and comes from Thee.
3 Uphold me in the doubtful race,
Nor suffer me again to stray ;
Strengthen my feet, with steady pace Still to press forward in Thy way ; My soul and flesh, O Lord of might, Fill, satiate with Thy heavenly light.
Thee will I love, my Joy, my Crown ;
Thee will I love, my Lord, my God ; Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown
Or smile, Thy sceptre or Thy rod. What though my flesh and heart decay? Thee shall I love in endless day.

t O RENDER thanks to God above, The Fountain of eternal love, Whose mercy firm through ages past Has stood, and shall for ever last.
2 Who can His mighty deeds express, Not only vast but numberless ? What mortal eloquence can raise His tribute of immortal praise ?
3 Extend to me that favor, Lord, Thou to Thy chosen dost afford ;
When Thou return'st to set them free, Let Thy salvation visit me.
4 O may I worthy prove to see Thy saints in full prosperity, That I the joyful choir may join,
And count Thy people's triumph mine.

2 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed.
3 His power subdues our sins, And His forgiving love,
Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove.
4 The pity of the Lord
To those that fear His Name Is such as tender parents feel ; He knows our feeble frame.
5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower ;
If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour.

And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

3 O for the living flame, From His own altar brought,
To touch our lips, our minds inspire. And wing to heaven our thought !

Then be His love in Christ proclaimed With all our ransomed powers.

Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed,
3 When worn with sickness, oft hast Thou
With health renewed my face ; And, when in sins and sorrows sunk, Revived my soul with grace.
4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy.

Is His, is His by right, The King of kings, and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light :
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below To whom He manifests His love, And grants His Name to know.
4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
With all its grace, is given ;
Their name an everlasting name,
Their joy the joy of heaven.
5 They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with Him above ; Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love.
6 The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him ; His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.

2 Jesus, the Saviour, reigns,
The God of truth and love : When He had purged our stains,
He took His seat above. Lift up your heart, lift up your voice : Rejoice ; again I say, rejoice.
3 He sits at God's right hand
Till all His foes submit, And bow to His command,
143 H0LY c^oss' C.M.
1 O JESUS. King most wonderful,
Thou Conqueror renowned. Thou Sweetness most ineffable, In whom all joys are found !
2 When once Thou visitest the heart,
Then truth begins to shine, Then earthly vanities depart, Then kindles love Divine.
And fall beneath His feet. Lift up your heart, lift up your voice : Rejoice ; again I say, rejoice.
4 Rejoice in glorious hope :
Jesus, the Judge, shall come, And take His sen-ants up To their eternal home. We soon shall hear the archangel's voice : The trump of God shall sound, — Rejoice.
Rev. Charles Wesley, 1744
Surpassing all the joys we know, And all we can desire !
May even* heart confess Thy Name,
And ever Thee adore ; And seeking Thee, itself inflame
To seek Thee more and more.
3 O Jesus, Light of all below, Thou Fount of life and fire,
5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless ; Thee may we love alone ; And ever in our lives express The image of Thine own.

Where perfect praises ring, And evermore confess Thee Our Saviour and our King.

Crown Him the Lord of love :
Behold His hands and side, Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beautv- glorified : No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight, But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.
Crown Him the Lord of peace : Whose power a sceptre sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease. Absorbed in prayer and praise :
His reign shall know no end ;
And round His pierced feet Fair flowers of Paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.
Crown Him the Lord of years,
The Potentate of time ; Creator of the rolling spheres
Ineffably sublime : All hail. Redeemer, hail !
For Thou hast died for me : Thy praise shall never, never fail
Throughout eternity.

2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious,
Travelling onward in His might ; 'Tis the Saviour, O how glorious
To His people is the sight ! Jesus now is strong to save, Mighty to redeem the slave.
3 Why that blood His raiment staining?
'Tis the blood of many slain ; Of His foes there's none remaining,
None the contest to maintain : Fallen they are, no more to rise, All their glory prostrate lies.
4 This the Saviour has effected
By His mighty arm alone ; See the throne for Him erected;
'Tis an everlasting throne : 'Tis the great reward He gains, Glorious fruit of all His pains.
5 Mighty Victor, reign for ever,
Wear the crown so dearly won ; Never shall Thy people, never
Cease to sing what Thou hast done : Thou hast fought Thy people's foes ; Thou wilt heal Thy people's woes.

2 On Him the Spirit, largely poured,
Exerts its sacred fire ; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love, His holy breast inspire.
3 He comes, the prisoners to release
In Satan's bondage held ; The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield.
4 He comes, from the thick films of vice
To clear the mental ray, And on the eye-balls of the blind To pour celestial day.
5 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure ; And with the treasures of His grace To enrich the humble poor.
6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim ; And heaven's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved Name.

2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world : Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel-sounds
The blessed angels sing.
3 And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way W ith painful steps and slow, —
Look now ! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing :
O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing.
4 For lo, the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold, When with the ever-circling years
Comes round the age of gold ; When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling, And the whole world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

2 Then angels on their starry way
Felt bliss unfelt before, For news that men should be as they,
To darkened earth they bore ; So toiling men and spirits bright
A first communion had, And in meek mercy's rising light
Were each exceeding glad.
3 And we are glad, and we will sing,
As in the days of yore ; Come all, and hearts made ready bring, To welcome back once more
The day when first on wintry earth
A summer change began, And, dawning in a lowly birth,
Uprose the Light of man.
For trouble such as men must bear
From childhood to fourscore, He shared with us, that we might share
His joy for evermore ; And twice a thousand years of grief,
Of conflict, and of sin, May tell how large the harvest sheaf
His patient love shall win.

2 For Christ is born of Mary ;
And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth ; And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given !
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still.
The dear Christ enters in.
O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray ; Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell ; O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.

2 Blessed hills, that heard the song Of the glorious angel throng Swelling all your slopes along.
Happy shepherds, on whose ear Fell the tidings glad and clear, " God to man is drawing near."
Thus revealed to shepherds' eyes, Hidden from the great and wise, Entering earth in lowly guise —
We adore Thee as our King, And to Thee our song we sing ; Our best offering to Thee bring.
Blessed Babe of Bethlehem, Owner of earth's diadem, Claim and wear the radiant gem.

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 for ever may we sing Alleluias to our King.
William C. Dix, 1861
2 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.
3 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.

2 Ye saw the heaven-born Child
In human flesh arrayed, Benevolent and mild,
While in the manger laid : And " Praise to God, And peace on earth," For such a birth, Proclaimed aloud.
3 Around the bloody tree
Ye pressed with strong desire That wondrous sight to see, The Lord of life expire : And could your eyes Have known a tear, Had dropped it there In sad surprise.
4 Around His sacred tomb
A willing watch ye keep Till the blest moment come To rouse Him from His sleep
Then rolled the stone,
And all adored
Your rising Lord With joy unknown.
When, all arrayed in light,
The shining Conqueror rode, Ye hailed His rapturous flight Up to the throne of God, And waved around Your golden wings, And struck your strings Of sweetest sound.
The warbling notes pursue,
And louder anthems raise, While mortals sing with you Their own Redeemer's praise : And thou, my heart, With equal flame, And joy the same, Perform thy part.

2 Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal, Such deference to Thy Father's will, Such love, and meekness so Divine,

2 And lo, Thy touch brought life and health,
Gave speech, and strength, and sight ; And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Owned Thee, the Lord of light : And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as of yore, In crowded street, by restless couch,
As by Gennesareth's shore.
3 Though Love and Might no longer heal
By touch, or word, or look ; Though they who do Thy work must read Thy laws in nature's book ;
Yet come to heal the sick man's soul, Come, cleanse the leprous taint ;
Give joy and peace where all is strife, And strength where all is faint.
4 Be Thou our great Deliverer still,
Thou Lord of life and death ; Restore and quicken, soothe and bless
With Thine almighty breath. To hands that work and eyes that see
Give wisdom's heavenly lore, That whole and sick, and weak and strong,
May praise Thee evermore.

O where is He that trod the sea,
O where is He that spake, And piercing words of liberty
The deaf ears open shake ; And mildest words arrest the haste
Of fever's deadly fire, And strong ones heal the weak who waste
Their life in sad desire ?
O where is He that trod the sea,
O where is He that spake, And dark waves rolling heavily
A glassy smoothness take ; And lepers, whose own flesh has been
A solitary grave, See with amaze that they are clean,
And cry, " 'Tis He can save " ?
4 O where is He that trod the sea? .
'Tis only He can save ; To thousands hungering wearily
A wondrous meal He gave ; Full soon, celestially fed,
Their rustic fare they take ; 'Twas springtide when He blest the bread.
And harvest when He brake.
5 O where is He that trod the sea?
My soul, the Lord is here : Let all thy fears be hushed in thee ;
To leap, to look, to hear Be thine : thy needs He '11 satisfy.
Art thou diseased or dumb, Or dost thou in thine hunger cry?
"I come," saith Christ, "I come."

Clear Thou our clouded view ; Thou sittest on Thy throne :

We give Thee honor due. Still succoring Thine own.

2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear ; Like Thee, to do our Father's will, Our brethren's griefs to share.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel,
Our earthliness refine ; And kindness in our bosoms dwell, As free and true as Thine.
4 If joy shall at Thy bidding fly,
And griefs dark day come on, We, in our turn, would meekly cry, " Father, Thy will be done."
5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame.
Or brethren faithless prove. Then, like Thine own, be all our aim To conquer them by love.
6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife, Forgiving and forgiven, O may we lead the pilgrim's life, And follow Thee to heaven.

1 O MEAN may seem this house of clay, 4 But not this fleshly robe alone
Yet 'twas the Lord's abode ; Shall link us, Lord, to Thee ;
Our feet may mourn this thorny way, Not only in the tear and groan
Yet here Emmanuel trod. Shall the dear kindred be.
2 This fleshly robe the Lord did wear,
This watch the Lord did keep, These burdens sore the Lord did bear, These tears the Lord did weep.
3 Our very frailty brings us near
LTnto the Lord of heaven ; To every grief, to ever)' tear, Such glory strange is given.
5 We shall be reckoned for Thine own
Because Thy heaven we share, Because we sing around Thy throne, And Thy bright raiment wear.
6 O mighty grace, our life to live,
To make our earth Divine : O mighty grace, Thy heaven to give, And lift our life to Thine.

2 There prophets praise Thy glorious Name,
And deeds which Thou hast done ; And there the Father's words proclaim His own beloved Son.
3 The rays of Thy transfigured face
Beam with such golden light , That we would never leave the place, Nor lose the heavenly sight.
But there is work on earth to do, The suffering soul to heal;
The harvest great, the laborers few Thy kingdom to reveal.
We may not linger on the mount, Where bright Thy glories shine ;
We may not taste the sacred fount Of blessedness Divine :
6 But let some beams of heavenly light Make bright our earthly way ; Then grant the beatific sight Of heaven and endless day.

2 'Tis the spring of souls to-day :
Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days' sleep in death
As a sun hath risen ; All the winter of our sins,
Long and dark, is flying From His light, to whom we give
Laud and praise undying.
3 Now the Queen of seasons, bright
With the day of splendor, With the royal feast of feasts, Comes its joy to render ;
Comes to glad Jerusalem, Who with true affection
Welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither might the gates of death,
Nor the tomb's dark portal, Nor the watchers, nor the seal,
Hold Thee as a mortal : But to-day amidst the Twelve
Thou didst stand, bestowing That Thy peace, which evermore
Passeth human knowing.

2 Come, for Thy saints still wait ; Daily ascends their sigh :
The Spirit and the Bride say, " Come " Dost Thou not hear the cry ?
3 Come, for creation groans, Impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill, These ages of delay.
4 Come, and make all things new ; Build up this ruined earth ;
Restore our faded Paradise, Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin Thy reign Of everlasting peace ;
Come, take the kingdom to Thyself, Great King of Righteousness.

Our doubts and fears remove, And kindle in our breasts the flame Of never-dying love.
4 Convince us of our sin,
Then lead to Jesus' blood, And to our wondering view reveal The secret love of God.

To sanctify the soul, To pour fresh life on every part, And new-create the whole.

1 BLEST Comforter Divine,
Whose rays of heavenly love Amid our gloom and darkness shine, And guide our souls above ;
2 Thou, who with still small voice
Dost stop the sinner's way, And bid the mourning saint rejoice, Though earthly joys decay ;
4 Teach me to feel that Thou art always
nigh ; [bear,
Teach me the struggles of the soul to To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh ; Teach me the patience of unanswered
Prayer- [love,
5 Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels One holy passion filling all my frame ; The baptism of the heaven-descended
Dove, My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.
Rev. George Croly, 1S54
Thou, whose inspiring breath Can make the cloud of care,
And e'en the gloomy vale of death, A smile of glory wear ;

With love to all our race ; Blest Comforter, to us impart
The blessings of Thy grace.

2 Faith, that mountains could remove, Tongues of earth or heaven above, Knowledge, all things, empty prove,
Without heavenly love.
3 Love is kind, and suffers long ; Love is meek, and thinks no wrong ; Love than death itself more strong ;
Therefore, give us love.
4 Prophecy will fade away, Melting in the light of day ; Love will ever with us stay ;
Therefore, give us love.

5 Faith will vanish into sight ; Hope be emptied in delight ;
Love in heaven will shine more bright ; Therefore, give us love.
6 Faith and hope and love we see, Joining hand in hand, agree ; But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.
7 From the overshadowing Of Thy gold and silver wing, Shed on us who to Thee sing
Holy, heavenly love.

The Church from her dear Master
Received the gift Divine, And still that light she lifteth
O'er all the earth to shine. It is the golden casket,
Where gems of truth are stored ; It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled ;
It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world.
It is the chart and compass That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, Still guides, O Christ, to Thee.
4 O make Thy Church, dear Saviour,
A lamp of purest gold, To bear before the nations
Thy true light, as of old. O teach Thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended,
They see Thee face to face.

The rolling sun, the changing light, And nights and days, Thy power con- fess ; But the best volume Thou hast writ Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.
Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise Round the whole earth, and never stand ; So when Thy truth began its race, It touched and glanced on every land.
Nor shall Thy spreading gospel rest Till through the world Thy truth has
run ; Till Christ has all the nations blest That see the light, or feel the sun.
Great Sun of Righteousness, arise ; Bless the dark world with heavenly light : Thy gospel makes the simple wise, Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right.

1 GOD, in the gospel of His Son, Makes His eternal counsels known ; Where love in all its glory shines, And truth is drawn in fairest lines.
2 Here sinners of a humble frame May taste His grace, and learn His Name ; May read, in characters of blood, The wisdom, power, and grace of God.
3 The prisoner here may break his chains ; The weary rest from all his pains ;
Now He, salvation's Sun, Shineth on every one With mercy's light.
From the bright sky above, Clad in His robes of love,
'Tis He, our Lord ! Dim earth itself grows clear, As His light draweth near : O let us hush and hear
His holy word.
Rev. Thomas T. Lynch, 1855
The captive feel his bondage cease ; The mourner find the way of peace.
4 Here faith reveals to mortal eyes A brighter world beyond the skies ; Here shines the light which guides our way From earth to realms of endless day.
5 O grant us grace, Almighty Lord, To read and mark Thy holy word ; Its truth with meekness to receive, And by its holy precepts live.

2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood ; 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Thou savest those that on Thee call ; Where'er our changeful lot is cast ; To them that seek Thee Thou art good, Glad when Thy gracious smile we see, To them that find Thee all in all. Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.
3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay,
And long to feast upon Thee still ; Make all our moments calm and bright ;
We drink of Thee, the Fountain-head, Chase the dark night of sin away,
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

2 Where the paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood is shed, Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread ; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above.

1 A PARTING hymn we sing
Around Thy table, Lord ; Again our grateful tribute bring, Our solemn vows record.
2 Here have we seen Thy face,
And felt Thy presence here ; So may the savor of Thy grace In word and life appear.
3 Mighty Victim from the sky, ; Powers of hell beneath Thee lie ; Death is conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light : Paschal triumph, paschal joy, Only sin can this destroy ; From the death of sin set free Souls re-born, dear Lord, in Thee.
Robert Campbell, 1849: verse 1, 11. 3, 6, 8, verse 2, 1. 5, alt.
3 The purchase of Thy blood,
By sin no longer led, The path our dear Redeemer trod May we rejoicing tread.
4 In self- forgetting love
Be our communion shown,
Until we join the Church above,
And know as we are known.

3 Convert and send forth more 5 O let them spread Thy Name,
Into Thy Church abroad, Their mission fully prove ;
And let them speak Thy word of power, Thy universal grace proclaim, As workers with their God. Thine all-redeeming love.

Empower them still to call, And tell each creature under heaven That Thou hast died for all.

2 Go, labor on, 'tis not for naught ; 4 Go, labor on while it is day,
Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain ; The world's dark night is hastening on :
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not ; Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away ; The Master praises : — what are men ? It is not thus that souls are won.
3 Go, labor on : enough while here If He shall praise thee, if He deign Thy willing heart to mark and cheer ; No toil for Him shall be in vain.
5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray ; Be wise the erring soul to win ; Go forth into the world's highway, Compel the wanderer to come in.

1 O CHRIST, our true and only Light, Illumine those who sit in night ; Let those afar now hear Thy voice, And in Thy fold with us rejoice.
3 O make the deaf to hear Thy word ; And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow Though secretly they hold it now.
2 And all who else have strayed from Thee, 4 Shine on the darkened and the cold ; O gently seek • Thy healing be Recall the wanderers from Thy fold ;
To every wounded conscience given ; Unite those now who walk apart ;
And let them also share Thy heaven. Confirm the weak and doubting heart :
5 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore, And endless praise to Thee be given By all the Church in earth and heaven.

Lead on, O King Eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease, And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace ; For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums, But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly kingdom comes.
353 (ST0CKWELL) 8.7.8.7.
1 HE that goeth forth with weeping,
Bearing precious seed in love, Never tiring, never sleeping, Findeth mercy from above :
2 Soft descend the dews of heaven,
Bright the rays celestial shine ; Precious fruits will thus be given Through an influence all Divine.
Lead on, O King Eternal :
We follow, not with fears ; For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er Thy face appears ; Thy cross is lifted o'er us ;
We journey in its light : The crown awaits the conquest ;
Lead on, O God of might.
Rev. Ernest W. Shurtleff, iJ
3 Sow thy seed ; be never weary ;
Let no fears thy soul annoy ; Be the prospect ne'er so dreary. Thou shalt reap the fruits of joy.
4 Lo ! the scene of verdure brightening,
See the rising grain appear : Look again ; the fields are whitening, For the harvest-time is near.

2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave, Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save : Like Him, with pardon on his tongue
In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong :
Who follows in his train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came, Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mocked the cross and flame :
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane ; They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?
A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed : They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain : O God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.

Work, for the night is coming :
Work through the sunny noon ; Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon ; Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store ; Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.
Work, for the night is coming :
Under the sunset skies, While their bright tints are glowing.
Work, for daylight flies ; Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more ; Work while the night is darkening,

Whose love hath helped us on our way, And granted us success.
2 His arm the strength imparts Our daily toil to bear ;
His grace alone inspires our hearts Each other's load to share.
3 O happiest work below, Earnest of joy above.
For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven, For means of grace and hopes of heaven, Father, what can to Thee be given Who givest all?
We lose what on ourselves wre spend ; We have as treasure without end Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend Who givest all.
Whatever, Lord, we lend to Thee, Repaid a thousand-fold will be ; Then gladly will we give to Thee Who givest all ;
To Thee, from whom we all derive Our life, our gifts, our power to give ; O may we ever with Thee live Who givest all.
Bishop Christopher Wordsworth, 1863

2 O joy, to see that Master dear ! O joy, to live with Him so near ! O joy, that gentle voice to hear !
3 O more than joy, to that dear Lord, In purest, deepest love adored,
All lowly service to afford !
4 Yea, happy was your lot to bring, In loyal homage to your King, Each free and gracious offering.
5 O Jesus, throned above the height, Adoring troops of angels bright Wait on Thy bidding day and night :
6 Thy sacred form we cannot see,
Yet, Lord, these hands may render Thee Each lowly act of charity.
7 For while 'mid want and woe we move,. And tend Thy poor in gentle love,
We minister to Thee above.
8 O gracious Jesus, we confess
Our poor cold love, our nothingness : Yet Thou wilt own, and Thou wilt bless.

2 And Thou who cam'st on earth to die, That fallen man might live thereby, O hear us, for to Thee we cry In hope, O Lord, to Thee.
4 For all are brethren, far and wide, Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died ; Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide, To love them all in Thee.
3 Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught, 5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care, To feel for those Thy blood hath bought ; Whate'er it be. 'tis ours to share ; That ever}- word and deed and thought May we. when help is needed, there May work a work for Thee. Give help as unto Thee.
6 And may Thy Holy Spirit move All those who live, to live in love, Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above All those who live to Thee.
Rev. Godfrey Thring, 1S77: verse 6, L 4, alt.
38 1 (INTERCESSION OLD) L. M.
1 O THGT7 through suffering perfect made, On whom the bitter cross was laid ; In hours of sickness, grief, and pain, Xo sufferer turns to Thee in vain.
3 O loving Saviour, Thou canst cure The pains and woes Thou didst endure ; For all who need, Physician great, Thy healing balm we supplicate.
2 The halt, the maimed, the sick, the blind, 4 But. O far more, let each keen pain Sought not in vain Thy tendance kind ; And hour of woe be heavenly gain, Now in Thy poor Thyself we see, Each stroke of Thy chastising rod
And minister through them to Thee. Bring back the wanderer nearer God.
5 O heal the bruised heart within ; O save our souls all sick with sin ; Give life and health in bounteous store. That we may praise Thee evermore.
Bishop William W. How, 1871

2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might ; Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light. Alleluia !
3 O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold, Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia !
4 O blest communion, fellowship Divine ! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine ;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia !
5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, Steals on the ear the distant triumph-song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia !
6 The golden evening brightens in the west ; Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest ; Sweet is the calm of Paradise the blest. Alleluia !
7 But lo, there breaks a yet more glorious day; The saints triumphant rise in bright array ;
The King of Glory passes on His way. Alleluia !
8 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia !

2 Apostles, prophets, martyrs,
And all the sacred throng Who wear the spotless raiment,
Who raise the ceaseless song ; For these, passed on before us,
Saviour, we Thee adore, And. walking in their footsteps,
Would serve Thee more and more.
3 Then praise we God the Father,
And praise we God the Son. And God the Holy Spirit,
Eternal Three in One ; Till all the ransomed number
Fall down before the Throne, And honor, power, and glory
Ascribe to God alone.
Earl Nelson, 1S64.

2 One the light of God's own presence
O'er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread ; One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires ;
3 One the strain that lips of thousands
Lift as from the heart of one, One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun ;
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father
Reigns in love for evermore.
Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers,
Onward, with the cross our aid ; Bear its shame, and fight its battle,
Till we rest beneath its shade : Soon shall come the great awaking,
Soon the rending of the tomb ; Then the scattering of all shadows,
And the end of toil and gloom.
