PREFACE
In making this collection, hymns have been sought, not religious poetry,
so much of which has recently found its way into hymnals. Religious poems,
even though beautiful in thought and excellent as literature, often lose their
fine uplift if set to music. Hymns, being that portion of the service in which
all may join, should be simple and stirring ; they are to be sung, not read ;
they should be praise and prayer.
There have been hymn-writing ages, when many grand religious lyrics
were given to the world. The aim, in this book, has been to gather the
best from every age ; but no book can contain them all.
The tunes are, as far as possible, those written for hymns, — not adapta-
tions from operas, instrumental numbers, or love-songs, etc. In an appendix
will be found some familiar tunes which may at times be wanted, though it
was regarded as inadvisable to associate them with any of the hymns in the
body of the work. It seemed desirable to repeat the best, rather than to
make additions merely for variety.
Another appendix contains hymns to be read, — hymns which, because
of their peculiar metre, or because of the nature of the thought or its ex-
pression, were not adapted to musical setting.
In selecting the music, the late Lewis S. Thompson, Mr. Benjamin L.
Whelpley, Mr. William Alden Paull, and Professor Leo R. Lewis rendered
valuable assistance.

i Holy, holy, holy, Lord God almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name in earth, and sky, and sea.
2 Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
Which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be!
3 Holy, holy, holy! though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.
Bishop Reginald Hebcr, 1783

i City of God, how broad and far
Outspread thy walls sublime!
The true thy chartered freemen are,
Of every age and clime.
2 One holy church, one army strong,
One steadfast high intent,
One working band, one harvest-song,
One King omnipotent!
3 How purely hath thy speech come down
From man's primaeval youth!
How grandly hath thine empire grown
Of freedom, love, and truth!
4 How gleam thy watch-fires through the
night,
With never-fainting ray!
How rise thy towers, serene and bright,
To meet the dawning day!
5 In vain the surge's angry shock,
In vain the drifting sands;
Unharmed, upon the eternal rock,
The eternal city stands.
Rev. Samuel Johnson, 1822

1 One holy church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Unwasted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.
2 From oldest time, on farthest shores,
Beneath the pine or palm,
One unseen presence she adores,
With silence or with psalm.
3 Her priests are all God's faithful sons,
To serve the world raised up;
The pure in heart her baptized ones;
Love, her communion-cup.
4 The truth is her prophetic gift,
The soul her sacred page;
And feet on mercy's errands swift
Do make her pilgrimage.
5 O living church, thine errand speed;
Fulfil thy task sublime;
With bread of life earth's hunger feed;
Redeem the evil time!
Rev. Samuel Longfellow, 1819

i O Lord of life and truth and grace,
Ere nature was begun!
Make welcome to our erring race
Thy spirit and thy Son.
2 We hail the church, built high o'er all
The heathen's rage and scoff, —
Thy providence its fenced wall,
"The Lamb the light thereof."
3 Thy Christ hath reached his heavenly
seat,
Through sorrows and through scars:
The golden lamps are at his feet,
And in his hand the stars.
4 O may he walk among us here
With his rebuke and love;
A brightness o'er this lower sphere, —
A ray from worlds above!
Rev. Nathaniel L. Frothingham, 1793

1 This is the day the Lord hath made:
O earth, rejoice and sing;
Let songs of triumph hail the morn,
Hosanna to our King!
2 The stone the builders set at nought
That stone has now become
The sure foundation, and the strength
Of Zion's heavenly dome.
Spirit of the Psalms
6
1 O where are kings and empires now
Of old that went and came?
But, Lord, thy church is praying yet,
A thousand years the same.
2 We mark her goodly battlements,
And her foundations strong;
We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.
3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy church, O God!
Tho' earthquake shocks are threaten-
And tempests are abroad; [ing her,
4 Unshaken as eternal hills,
Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,
A house not made with hands.
Rev. A. Cleveland Coxe, 1818

Lord of all being, throned afar,
Thy glory flames from sun and star;
Centre and soul of every sphere,
Yet to each loving heart how near!
Sun of our life, thy quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day:
Star of our hope, thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.
Our midnight is thy smile withdrawn;
Our noontide is thy gracious dawn;
Our rainbow arch thy mercy's sign:
All, save the clouds of sin, are thine.
Lord of all life, below, above, [is love;
Whose light is truth, whose warmth
Before thy ever-blazing throne
We ask no lustre of our own.
Grant us thy truth to make us free,
Andkindlinghearts that burn for thee,
Till all thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame.

i Lo, God is here! let us adore, i
And humbly bow before his face;
Let all within us feel his power,
Let all within us seek his grace.
2 Lo, God is here! him, day and night, 2
United choirs of angels sing;
To him, enthroned above all height,
Heaven's host their noblest praises
bring.
3 Being of beings! may our praise 3
Thy courts with grateful incense fill;
Still may we stand before thy face,
Still hear and do thy sovereign will.
Tr. from Gerhard Tersteegen, 1697

Great God, the followers of thy Son,
We bow before thy mercy-seat,
To worship thee, the holy one,
And pour our wishes at thy feet.
O grant thy blessing here to-day!
O give thy people joy and peace !
The tokens of thy love display,
And favor that shall never cease.
We seek the truth which Jesus brought;
His path of light we long to tread;
Here be his holy doctrines taught,
And here their purest influence shed.
Rev. Henry Ware, Jr., 1794
10 Tune, LOUVAN ( See opposite page
1 Come, blessed spirit, source of light, 3
Whose power and grace are uncon-
fined,
Dispel the gloomy shades of night,
The thicker darkness of the mind.
2 To mine illumined eyes display
The glorious truth thy word reveals;
Cause me to run the heavenly way;
The book unfold, unloose the seals.
Thine inward teachings make me know,
The mysteries of redeeming love,
The emptiness of things below,
The excellence of things above.
While through this dubious maze I stray,
Spread, like the sun, thy beams abroad
To show the dangers of the way,
And guide my feeble steps to God.

Lord, before thy presence come,
Bow we down with holy fear:
Call our erring footsteps home,
Let us feel that thou art near.
Wandering thoughts and languid powers
Come not where devotion kneels;
Let the soul expand her stores,
Glowing with the joy she feels.
At the portals of thine house,
We resign our earth-born cares:
Nobler thoughts our souls engross,
Songs of praise and fervent prayers.
John Taylor, 1750

1 Sovereign and transforming grace !
We invoke thy quickening power;
Reign, the spirit of this place;
Bless the purpose of this hour.
2 Holy and creative light!
We invoke thy kindling ray;
Dawn upon our spirits' night,
Turn our darkness into day.
3 Work in all; in all renew
Day by day the life divine;
All our wills to thee subdue,
All our hearts to thee incline.
Rev. Frederic H. Hedge, 1805
14 Tune, PAX DEI ( See opposite page)
1 O thou whose power o'er moving worlds presides,
Whose voice created, and whose wisdom guides!
On darkling man in pure effulgence shine,
And cheer the clouded mind with light divine.
2 'Tis thine alone to calm the pious breast
With silent confidence and holy rest:
From thee, great God, we spring; to thee we tend, -
Path, motive, guide, original, and end.

Father of love and light,
Speed on thy word :

All the wide world around, l
Wherever man is found!
God speed his word.
Hail, blessed jubilee!
Thine, Lord, the glory be;
Praise ye the Lord!
One for his truth we stand,
Strong in his own right hand,
Firm as a martyr-band;
God shield his word.
Onward shall be our course,
Despite of fraud and force;
God is before:
His word ere long shall run
Free as the noon-day sun;
His purpose must be done:
God bless his word.

Lord of my life, whose tender care
Hath led me on till now,
Here lowly at the hour of prayer
Before thy throne I bow:
I bless thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for another day.
O, may I daily, hourly, strive
In heavenly grace to grow;
To thee and to thy glory live,
Dead to all else below;
Tread in the path thy saints have trod,
Though thorny, yet the path to God!
With prayer'my humble praise I bring
For mercies day by day:
Lord, teach my heart thy love to see;
Lord, teach me how to pray!
All that I have, I am, to thee
I offer through eternity.

I look to thee in every need,
And never look in vain;
I feel thy strong and tender love,
And all is well again:
The thought of thee is mightier far
Than sin and pain and sorrow are.
Discouraged in the work of life,
Disheartened by its load,
Shamed by its failures or its fears,
I sink beside the road;
But let me only think of thee,
And then new heart springs up in me.
Thy calmness bends serene above,
My restlessness to still;
Around me flows thy quickening life,
To nerve my faltering will;
Thy presence fills my solitude;
Thy providence turns all to good.
Embosomed deep in thy dear love,
Held in thy law, I stand;
Thy hand in all things I behold,
And all things in thy hand;
Thou leadest me by unsought ways,
And turn'st my mourning into praise.

i How sweet, upon this sacred day,
The best of all the seven,
To cast our earthly thoughts away,
And think of God and heaven!
2 How sweet to be allowed to pray
Our sins may be forgiven!
With filial confidence to say,
" Father, who art in heaven! "
3 How sweet the words of peace to hear
From him to whom 'tis given
To wake the penitential tear,
And lead the way to heaven!
4 And if to make our sins depart
In vain the will has striven,
He who regards the inmost heart
Will send his grace from heaven.
5 Then hail, thou sacred, blessed day,
The best of all the seven,
When hearts unite their vows to pay
Of gratitude to heaven!
Mrs. Eliza L. Follen, 1787

i The spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic like the sun!
It gives a light to every age;
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat;
His truths upon the nations rise,
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be thine,
For such a bright display,
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
5 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of him I love;
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above.

Firm and bold in virtue's cause;
Still thy providence adoring,
Faithful subjects to thy laws, —

All our hope is from above.

Sordid hopes and fond desires,

Peace and pardon from the skies.

Every pure and humble mind;
Every kindred, tongue, and nation,
From the dross of guilt refined:

All souls that long for heavenly light,
Appear, and on my darkness shine;
Descend, and be my guide divine.
2 Spirit of power, whose might doth dwell
Full in the souls thou lovest well,
Unto this fainting heart draw near
And be my daily quickener.
3 Spirit of joy, that makest glad
Each broken heart by sin made sad
Pour on this mourning soul thy cheer;
Give me to bless my comforter.
4 Till thou shalt make me meet to bear
The sweetness of heaven's holy air,
The light wherein no darkness is,

O source divine, and life of all,
The fount of being's wondrous sea!
Thy depth would every heart appall
That saw not love supreme in thee.
We shrink before thy vast abyss,
Where worlds on worlds unnumbered
brood :
We know thee truly but in this, —
That thou bestowest all our good.
And so, 'mid boundless time and space,
O grant us still in thee to dwell,
And through the ceaseless web to trace
Thy presence working all things well!
Bestow on every joyous thrill
A deeper tone of reverent awe;
Make pure thy children's erring will,
And teach their hearts to love thy law.

1 Glory be to God on high,
God whose glory fills the sky;
Peace on earth to man forgiven,
Man, the well beloved of heaven.
2 Favored mortals, raise the song;
Endless thanks to God belong;
Hearts, o'erflowing with his praise,
Join the hymns your voices raise.
3 Mark the wonders of his hand , —
Power, no empire can withstand;
Wisdom, angels' glorious theme;
Goodness, one eternal stream.
4 Gracious being, from thy throne
Send thy promised blessings down;
Let thy light, thy truth, thy peace
Bid our raging passions cease.
John Taylor, 1750

1 Let us, with a gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for he is kind;
For his mercies aye endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
2 Let us blaze his name abroad,
For of gods he is the God;
Who, with all-commanding might,
Filled the new-made world with light.
3 His own people he did bless,
In the wasteful wilderness;
He hath with a piteous eye
Viewed us in our misery.
4 Let us, then, with gladsome mind,
Praise the Lord, for he is kind;
For his mercy shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.

[ God is in his holy temple:
Earthly thoughts be silent now,
While with reverence we assemble,
And before his presence bow.
3 God is in his holy temple, —
In the pure and holy mind;
In the reverent heart and simple;
In the soul from sense refined :
2 He is with us now and ever,
When we call upon his name,
Aiding every good endeavor,
Guiding every upward aim.
4 Then let every low emotion
Banished far and silent be,
And our souls in pure devotion,
Lord, be temples worthy thee!
Hymns of the Spirit

Tune, ECKHARDTSHEIM
Early, my God, without delay,
I haste to seek thy face;
My thirsty spirit faints away,
Without thy cheering grace.
So pilgrims on the scorching sand,
Beneath a burning sky,
Long for a cooling stream at hand;
And they must drink or die.
( See opposite page )
3 Not life itself, with all its joys,
17
Can my best passions move,
Or raise so high my cheerful voice,
As thy forgiving love.
Thus, till my last expiring day,
I'll bless my God and King;
Thus will I lift my hands to pray,
And tune my lips to sing.

Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home, —
2 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting thou art God, —
To endless years the same.
3 A thousand ages, in thy sight,
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night,
Before the rising sun.
4 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away:
They fly, forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
5 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be thou our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home!
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674

That thou the only Lord
And everlasting Father art,
By all the earth adored!
2 To thee all angels cry aloud;
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 sway.
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!

i When all thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love and praise.
2 Unnumbered comforts on my soul
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 sin and sorrow 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.
5 Through every period of my life,
Thy goodness I'll pursue;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
Joseph Addision, 1672

1 How sweet to be allowed to pray
To God the holy one;
With filial love and trust to say,
O God, thy will be done!
2 We in these sacred words can find
A cure for every ill:
They calm and soothe the troubled
mind,
And bid all care be still.
3 O teach my heart the blessed way
To imitate thy Son!
Teach me, O God, in truth to pray,
"Thy will, not mine, be done."

The first and best of days; [bright,
The laborer's rest, the saint's delight,
The day of prayer and praise.
2 My Saviour's face made thee to shine,
His rising thee did raise;

Beyond all other days.

To all the sheaves behind;
And they who do the sabbath love,

The panoply of God;
Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in his mighty power;
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts,
Is more than conqueror.
Stand then in his great might,
With all his strength endued;
4 Leave no unguarded place,
No weakness of the soul;
Take every virtue, every grace,
And fortify the whole;
5 From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle, and fight, and pray;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.

Teach me in every various scene

Come, we that love the Lord,
And let our joys be known;
Join in a song with sweet accord,
And thus surround the throne.
The sorrows of the mind
Be banished from the place;
Religion never was designed
To make our pleasures less.
3 The men of grace have found
Glory begun below:
Celestial fruits, on earthly ground,
From faith and hope may grow.
4 Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry:
We're marching thro'Immanuel's ground
To fairer worlds on high.

Lodged in thy sovereign hand
And if its sun arise and shine,

That saw the Lord arise;
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes!
2 The King himself comes near,
And feasts his saints to-day;
Here we may sit, and see him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
One day of prayer and praise
His sacred courts within,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And wait to hail the brighter day
Of everlasting bliss.

Let us now a blessing seek,
Waiting in his courts to-day, —
Day of all the week the best,
Emblem of eternal rest.
2 While we seek supplies of grace,
Through the dear Redeemer's name,
Show thy reconciling face;
Take away our sin and shame;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in thee!
Here we come thy name to praise,
Let us feel thy presence near;
May thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in thy house appear!
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
May the gospel's joyful sound

Bring relief from all complaints:

Till we join the church above.

Contented with that aim alone
Which bears her to the King of kings,
And rests her at his sheltering throne !

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 thunder-clouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.
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 plains,
And sweetly distils in the dew and the rains.
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 !

To love thee more and more.

For all my cares are thine;
I live in triumph, Lord ! for thou
Hast made thy triumphs mine.
3 When obstacles and trials seem
Like prison walls to be,

From grief can set me free,

i O come, loud anthems let us sing,
Hosannas to the almighty King,
And high our grateful voices raise,
As our salvation's rock we praise.
2 Into his presence let us haste
To thank him for his favors past;
To him address, in joyful songs,
The praise that to his name belongs.
3 For God the Lord, enthroned in state,
Is with unrivalled glory great;
The depths of earth are in his hand,
Her secret wealth at his command.
4 O let us to his courts repair,
And bow with adoration there;
Low on our knees with reverence fall,
And on the Lord our maker call.
Tate and Brady, 165a

1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, be-
gone;
Let my religious hours alone;
From flesh and sense I would be free,
And hold communion, Lord, with thee.

2 My heart grows warm with holy fire,
And kindles with a pure desire
To see thy grace, to taste thy love,
And feel thine influence from above.
3 When I can say that God is mine,
When I can see thy glories shine,
I tread the world beneath my feet,
And all that men call rich and great.
4 Send comfort down from thy right hand,
To cheer me in this barren land;
And in thy temple let me know
The joys that from thy presence flow.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674
58
1 Almighty Father, bless the word
Which thro' thy grace we now have
heard ;
O may the precious seed take root,
Spring up, and bear abundant fruit.
2 We praise thee for the means of grace,
Thus in thy courts to seek thy face:
Grant, Lord, that we who worship here
May all, at last, in heaven appear.

i When Israel, of the Lord beloved,
Out from the land of bondage came,
Her fathers' God before her moved,
An awful guide, in smoke and flame.
2 By day, along the astonished lands,
The cloudy pillar glided slow;
By night, Arabia's crimsoned sands
Returned the fiery column's glow.
3 But present still, though now unseen,
When brightly shines the prosperous
day,
Be thoughts of thee a cloudy screen
To temper the deceitful ray.
4 And O, when stoops on Judah's path,
In shade and storm, the frequent
night,
Be thou, long-suffering, slow to wrath,
A burning and a shining light.
Sir Walter Scott, 1771
60
O render thanks to God above,
The fountain of eternal love;
Whose mercy firm through ages past
Has stood, and shall forever 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.
Then render thanks to God above,
And praise him by a life of love;
They praise him best, who best obey,
And never from his precepts stray.

1 Father of our feeble race,
Wise, beneficent, and kind;
Spread o'er nature's ample face,
Flows thy goodness unconfined.
Musing in the silent grove
Or the busy walks of men,
Still we trace thy wondrous love
Claiming large returns again.
2 Lord, what offering shall we bring,
At thine altars when we bow ?
Hearts, the pure unsullied spring
Whence the kind affections flow;
Soft compassion's feeling soul,
By the melting eye expressed ;
Sympathy, at whose control
Sorrow leaves the wounded breast;
Willing hands to lead the blind,
Bind the wounded, feed the poor;
Love, embracing all our kind;
Charity, with liberal store.
Teach us, O thou heavenly King,
Thus to show our grateful mind,
Thus the accepted offering bring,
Love to thee and all mankind.

Thou art a cooling fountain
In life's dry dreary sand;
From thee, like Pisgah's mountain.
We view our promised land.
To-day on weary nations
The heavenly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel-light is glowing,
With pure and radiant beams
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
Rev. Christopher Wordsworth, 1807
62
i O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee, the high and lowly,
Through ages joined in tune,
Sing " holy, holy, holy "
To the great God alone.
2 Thou art a port protected
From storms that round us rise;
A garden intersected
With streams of Paradise;

Thou Lord of hosts, whose guiding
hand
Has brought us here, before thy face!
Our spirits wait for thy command,
Our silent hearts implore thy peace.
Those spirits lay their noblest powers
As offerings on thy holy shrine:
Thine was the strength that nourished
ours;
The soldiers of the cross are thine.
And now with hymn and prayer we
stand,
To give our strength to thee, great
God!
We would redeem thy holy land,
That land which sin so long has trod.
Send us where'er thou wilt, O Lord!
Through rugged toil and wearying
fight:
Thy conquering love shall be our sword,
And faith in thee our truest might.
5 Send down thy constant aid, we pray;
Be thy pure angels with us still;
Thy truth, be that our firmest stay;
Our only rest, to do thy will.
Rev. Octavius B. Frothingham, 1822

i Now to the Lord a noble song!
Awake, my soul, awake, my tongue!
Hosanna to the eternal name,
And all his boundless love proclaim.
2 The spacious earth and spreading flood
Proclaim the wise, the powerful God;
And thy rich glories from afar
Sparkle in every rolling star.
3 But in the gospel of thy Son
Are all thy mightiest works outdone;
The light it pours upon our eyes
Outshines the wonders of the skies.
4 Our spirits kindle in its beam:
It is a sweet, a glorious theme:
Ye angels, dwell upon the sound!
Ye heavens, reflect it to the ground!

When, as returns this solemn day,
Man comes to meet his maker, God,
What rites, what honors, shall he pay ?
How spread his sovereign's praise
abroad ?
From marble domes and gilded spires
Shall curling clouds of incense rise,
And gems and gold and garlands deck
The costly pomp of sacrifice ?
Vain, sinful man, creation's Lord
Thy golden offerings well may spare ;
But give thy heart, and thou shalt find
Here dwells a God who heareth
prayer.
Mrs. Anna L. Barbauld, 1743

From every stormy wind that blows,
From every swelling tide of woes,
There is a calm, a sure retreat:
'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat.
There is a scene where spirits blend,
Where friend holds fellowship with
friend;
Though sundered far, by faith they meet
Around one common mercy-seat.
There, there on eagle wings we soar,
And sense and sin molest no more,
And heaven comes down our souls to
greet,
And glory crowns the mercy-seat.
Rev. Hugh Stowell, 1799

Tune, CHATHAM ( See opposite page )
When before thy throne we kneel,
Filled with awe and holy fear,
Teach us, O our God, to feel
All thy sacred presence near.
Check each proud and wandering
thought,
When on thy great name we call:
Man is naught, is less than naught;
Thou, our God, art all in all.
3 Weak, imperfect creatures, we
In this vale of darkness dwell,
Yet presume to look to thee
'Midst thy light ineffable.
4 O receive the praise that dares
Seek thy heaven-exalted throne!
Bless our offerings, hear our prayers,
Infinite and holy one!

i The ocean looketh up to heaven,
As 'twere a living thing;
The homage of its waves is given
In ceaseless worshipping.
2 They kneel upon the sloping sand,
As bends the human knee;
A beautiful and tireless band,
The priesthood of the sea.
3 The mists are lifted from the rills,
Like the white wing of prayer;
They kneel above the ancient hills,
As doing homage there.
4 The forest-tops are lowly cast
O'er breezy hill and glen,
As if a prayerful spirit passed
On nature as on men.
5 The sky is as a temple's arch:
The blue and wavy air
Is glorious with the spirit-march
Of messengers at prayer.
John G. Whittier, 1807

1 We pray no more, made lowly wise,
For miracle and sign;
Anoint our eyes to see within
The common, the divine.
2 "Lo here! lo there! " no more we cry,
Dividing with our call
The mantle of the presence, Lord,
That seamless covers all.
3 We turn from seeking thee afar,
And in unwonted ways,
To build from out our daily lives
The temples of thy praise.
4 And if thy casual comings, Lord,
To hearts of old were dear,
What joy shall dwell within the faith
That feels thee ever near!
5 And nobler yet shall duty grow,
And more shall worship be,
When thou art found in all our life,
And all our life in thee.

Whose mercies are so great,
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.
2 High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground wTe 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 ail our guilt remove.
4 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:

To endless years endure;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.

Shed thou thy freshening dew.
3 This is the day of peace !
Thy peace our spirits fill!
Bid thou the blasts of discord cease,
The waves of strife be still.
4 This is the day of prayer !
Let earth to heaven draw near;
Lift up our hearts to seek thee there:
Come dowrn to meet us here.
5 This is the first of days!
Send forth thy quickening breath,
And wake dead souls to love and
praise,
O vanquisher of death!

Hold me with thy powerful hand.

Whence the living waters flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.

In this barren wilderness;
Be my sword, and shield, and banner,

God is wisdom, God is love.
E'en the hour that darkest seemeth
Will his changeless goodness prove;

Hope and comfort from above;
Everywhere his glory shineth:

Shall guide his children well.

To thee a general paean raise.
3 And shall my voice, great God, alone
Be mute 'midst nature's loud acclaim ?
O let my heart with answering tone
Breathe forth in praise thy holy name.

But — matchless proof of love divine — ■

The firmament thy power;
Day unto day the story
Repeats from hour to hour;
Night unto night replying,
Proclaims in every land,
O Lord, with voice undying,
The wonders of thy hand.
O'er every tribe and nation
That music strange is poured;

With God at my right hand ?

When faint and desolate.

Mercy thy days shall lengthen,
The Lord will give thee peace.

Forgive me, if too close I lean
My human heart on thee.

From vexation and annoy;
Calm in thy tranquillity,
All my mourning turned to joy.
3 Let my life be hid in thee
When alarms are gathering round,
Covered with thy panoply,
Safe within thy holy ground.
4 Let my life be hid in thee
When my strength and health shall fail ;
Let thine immortality
In my dying hour prevail.
5 Let my life be hid in thee,
In the world and yet above;
Hid in thine eternity,
In the ocean of thy love.

i Mysterious presence, source of all, —
The world without, the soul within !
Fountain of life, O hear our call,
And pour thy living waters in!
2 Thou breathest in the rushing wind,
Thy spirit stirs in leaf and flower;
Nor wilt thou from the willing mind
Withhold thy light and love and
power.
3 Thy hand, unseen, to accents clear
Awoke the Psalmist's trembling lyre;
And touched the lips of holy seer
With flame from thine own altar fire.
4 That touch divine still, Lord, impart,
Still give the prophet's burning word;
And, vocal in each waiting heart,
Let living psalms of praise be heard.
Rev. Seth C. Beach, 1837

i Father and friend, thy light, thy love,
Beaming through all thy works, we
see;
Thy glory gilds the heavens above,
And all the earth is full of thee.
2 Thy voice we hear, thy presence feel,
While thou, too pure for mortal sight,
Involved in clouds, invisible,
Reignest the Lord of life and light.
3 We know not in what hallowed part
Of the wide heavens thy throne may
be;
But this we know, that where thou art
Strength, wisdom, goodness, dwell
with thee.
4 Thy children shall not faint nor fear,
Sustained by this delightful thought,
Since thou, their God, art everywhere
They cannot be where thou art not.

i God of the earth, the sky, the sea;
Of all above and all below, —
Creation lives and moves in thee;
Thy present life through all doth flow.
2 Thy love is in the sunshine's glow,
Thy life is in the quickening air:
When lightnings flash and storm-winds
blow,
There is thy power; thy law is there.
3 We feel thy calm at evening's hour,
Thy grandeur in the march of night;
And, when the morning breaks in power,
We hear thy word, "Let there be
light."
4 But higher far, and far more clear,
Thee in man's spirit we behold;
Thine image and thyself are there, —
Th' indwelling God, proclaimed of old.
Rev. Samuel Longfellow, 1810
89
i Through all the various shifting scene
Of life's mistaken ill or good,
Thy hand, O God! conducts, unseen,
The beautiful vicissitude.
2 Thou givest with paternal care,
Howe'er unjustly we complain,
To all their necessary share
Of joy and sorrow, health and pain,
3 All things on earth, and all in heaven,
On thine eternal will depend;
And all for greater good were given,
Would man pursue th' appointed
end.
4 Be this our care: to all beside
Indifferent let our wishes be;
Passion be calm, and dumb be pride,
And fixed our souls, great God, on
thee.

i The Lord descended from above,
And bowed the heavens most high,
And underneath his feet he cast
The darkness of the sky.
2 On cherubim and seraphim
Full royally he rode,
And on the wings of mighty winds
Came flying all abroad.
3 He sat serene upon the floods,
Their fury to restrain;
And he as sovereign Lord and King
For evermore shall reign.
Thomas Sternhold, 1549
91
i Since all the varying scenes of time
God's watchful eye surveys,
O, who so wise to choose our lot,
Or to appoint our ways !
2 Good, when he gives, supremely good,
Nor less when he denies;
E'en crosses, from his sovereign hand,
Are blessings in disguise.
3 Why should we doubt a Father's love,
So constant and so kind?
To his unerring, gracious will
Be every wish resigned.

My God, accept my heart this day,
And make it always thine;
That I from thee no more may stray,
No more from thee decline.
Anoint me with thy heavenly grace,
And seal me for thine own;
That I may see thy glorious face
And worship at thy throne.
Let every thought and work and word
To thee be ever given :
Then life shall be thy service, Lord,
And death the gate of heaven.

i Thou grace divine, encircling all,
A shoreless, soundless sea,
Wherein at last our souls must fall, —
O love of God most free!
2 When over dizzy heights we go,
One soft hand blinds our eyes,
The other leads us safe and slow, —
O love of God most wise !
3 And though we turn us from thy face,
And wander wide and long,
Thou hold'st us still in thine em-
brace,—
O love of God most strong!
4 The saddened heart, the restless soul,
The toil-worn frame and mind,
Alike confess thy sweet control, —
O love of God most kind!
5 And, filled and quickened by thy
breath,
Our souls are strong and free
To rise o'er sin and fear and death,
O love of God, to thee!

1 Our Father, God! thy gracious power
On every hand we see;
O may the blessings of each hour
Lead all our thoughts to thee!
2 If, on the wings of morn, we speed
To earth's remotest bound,
Thy hand will there our footsteps lead,
Thy love our path surround.
3 Thy power is in the ocean deeps,
And reaches to the skies;
Thine eye of mercy never sleeps,
Thy goodness never dies.
4 From morn till noon, till latest eve,
The hand of heaven we see;
And all the blessings we receive
Proceed, O God, from thee!
5 In all the varying scenes of time,
On thee our hopes depend,
Through every age, in every clime,
Our Father and our friend !

Leave God to order all thy ways,
And hope in him whate'er betide;
Thou'lt find him, in the evil days,
Thy all-sufficient strength and guide;
Who trusts in God's unchanging love,
Builds on the rock that nought can
move.
What can these anxious cares avail,
These never-ceasing moans and sighs? j
What can it help us to bewail
Each painful moment as it flies ?
Our cross and trials do but press
The heavier for our bitterness.
Only thy restless heart keep still,
And wait in cheerful hope ; content 2
To take whate'er his gracious will,
His all-discerning love hath sent.
Doubt not our inmost wants are
known
To him who chose us for his own.
Sing, pray, and swerve not from his
ways,
But do thine own part faithfully; -
Trust his rich promises of grace,
So shall they be fulfilled in thee:
God never yet forsook at need
The soul that trusted him indeed.
Georg Neumark, 1621

The Lord my pasture shall prepare,
And feed me with a shepherd's care;
His presence shall my wants supply,
And guard me with a watchful eye;
My noonday walks he shall attend,
And all my midnight hours defend.
Though in the paths of death I tread,
With gloomy horrors overspread,
My steadfast heart shall fear no ill,
For thou, O Lord, art with me still:
Thy friendly crook shall give me aid,
Andguidemethro' the dreadful shade.

i There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea;
There's a kindness in his justice,
Which is more than liberty.
2 For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind,
And the heart of the eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
SAMSON L. M. (Hymns 99 and 100)
3 But we make his love too narrow
By false limits of our own;
And we magnify his strictness
With a zeal he will not own.
4 If our love were but more simple,
We should take him at his word;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

ELVEN L. M.
St. Al ban's Tune Book
i Ere mountains reared their forms sub- 3 But our brief life's a shadowy dream,
lime, A passing thought that soon is o'er;
Or heaven and earth in order stood; That fades with morning's earliest
Before the birth of ancient time; beam,
From everlasting, — thou art God. And fills the musing mind no more.
2 A thousand ages, in their flight,
With thee are as a fleeting day:
Past, present, future, to thy sight
At once their various scenes display.
4 To us, O Lord, the wisdom give
Each passing moment so to spend
That we at length with thee may live
Where life and bliss shall never end.
Harriet Auber, 1773
y" Tune, SAMSON ( See opposite page )
i There's nothing bright, above, below, i
From flowers that bloom to stars that
glow,
But in its light my soul can see
Some feature of the Deity.
2
2 There's nothing dark, below, above,
But in its gloom I trace thy love,
And meekly wait the moment when
Thy touch shall make all bright again.
3
3 The heavens, the earth, where'er I look,
Shall be one pure and shining book,
Where I may read, in words of flame,
The glories of thy wondrous name.
Thomas Moore, 1779

O love divine, whose constant beam
Shines on the eyes that will not see,
And waits to bless us while we dream
Thou leav'st us when we turn from
thee!
All souls that struggle and aspire,
All hearts of prayer, by thee are lit;
And, dim or clear, thy tongues of fire
On dusky tribes and centuries sit.
Nor bounds, nor clime, nor creed thou
know'st ;
Wide as our need thy favors fall;
The white wings of the Holy Ghost
Stoop, unseen, o'er the heads of all.

i Wait on the Lord, ye heirs of hope,
And let his word support your souls;
Well can he bear your courage up,
And all your foes and fears control.
He waits his own well-chosen hour
The intended mercy to display;
And his paternal pities move,
While wisdom dictates the delay.
SOHO C. M. ( Hymn 103 )
3 Blest are the humble souls that wait
With sweet submission to his will;
Harmonious all their passions move,
And in the midst of storms are still, —
4 Still, till their Father's well-known voice
Wakens their silence into songs;
Then earth grows vocal with his praise,
And heaven the grateful shout pro-
longs.

i Lord of our life, and God of our salvation,
Star of our night, and hope of every nation,
Hear and receive thy people's supplication,
Lord God almightv.
2 Grant us thy help till foes are backward driven,
Grant them thy truth, that they may be forgiven,
Grant peace on earth, and, after we have striven,
Peace in thy heaven.
3 Peace in our hearts our evil thoughts assuaging,
"Peace in thy church, where brothers are engaging,
Peace, when the world its busy war is waging,
Send us, O Father.

1 To thee, my God, whose presence fills 3 To thee, my God, alone I look,
The earth, and seas, and skies, On thee alone confide;
To thee, whose name, whose heart is
love,
With all my powers I rise.
2 Troubles in long succession roll;
Wave rushes upon wave;
Pity, O pity my distress!
Thy child, thy suppliant, save!

Thou never hast deceived the soul
That on thy grace relied.
4 Though oft thy ways are wrapped in
clouds
Mysterious and unknown,
Truth, righteousness, and mercy stand
The pillars of thy throne.

1 Praise to thee, thou great creator,
Praise be thine from every tongue;
Join, my soul, with every creature,
Join the universal song.
Father, source of all compassion,
Pure, unbounded grace is thine:
Hail the God of our salvation,
Praise him for his love divine.
2 For ten thousand blessings given,
For the hope of future joy,
Sound his praise thro' earth and heaven,
Sound Jehovah's praise on high.
Joyfully on earth adore him,
Till in heaven our song we raise;
There, enraptured, fall before him,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
Rev. John Fawcett, 1739
104
Take my heart, O Father! take it;
Make and keep it all thine own;
Let thy spirit melt and break it —
This proud heart of sin and stone.
Heavenly Father, deign to mould it
In obedience to thy will;
And, as ripening years unfold it,
Keep it meek and childlike still.
Father, make it pure and lowly,
Fond of peace and far from strife;
Turning from the paths unholy
Of this vain and sinful life.
Ever let thy grace surround it,
Strengthen it with power divine,
Till thy cords of love have bound it;
Made it to be wholly thine.

i Father, in thy mysterious presence kneeling,
Fain would our souls feel all thy kindling love;
For we are weak, and need some deep revealing
Of trust and strength and calmness from above.
2 Lord, we have wandered forth through doubt and sorrow,
And thou hast made each step an onward one;
And we will ever trust each unknown morrow, —
Thou wilt sustain us till its work is done.
3 In the heart's depths a peace serene and holy
Abides, and when pain seems to have its will,
Or we despair, O may that peace rise slowly,
Stronger than agony, and we be still!
4 Now, Father, now, in thy dear presence kneeling,
Our spirits yearn to feel thy kindling love:
Now make us strong, we need thy deep revealing
Of trust and strength and calmness from above.

i Hear what God, the Lord, hath spoken:
O my people, faint and few,
Comfortless, afflicted, broken,
Fair abodes I build for you.
Scenes of heartfelt tribulation
Shall no more perplex your ways:
You shall name your walls "salvation,"
And your gates shall all be "praise."
2 There, like streams that feed the garden,
Pleasures without end shall flow;
For the Lord, your faith rewarding,
All his bounty shall bestow.
Still in undisturbed possession
Peace and righteousness shall reign;
Never shall you feel oppression,
Hear the voice of war again.
Ye, no more your suns descending,
Waning moons no more shall see;
But, your griefs forever ending,
Find eternal noon in me.
God shall rise, and, shining o'er you,
Change to day the gloom of night:
He, the Lord, shall be your glory,
God your everlasting light.

A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing;
Our helper he amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great;
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 That word above all earthly powers •
No thanks to them — abideth;
The spirit and the gifts are ours,
Through him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also:
The body they may kill,
God's truth abideth still;
His kingdom is forever.

But when our eyes behold thy word,
We read thy name in fairer lines.

Lord, when I quit this earthly stage,
Where shall I fly but to thy breast?
For I could find no other home,
For I have learned no other rest.
113
O thou, to whose all-searching sight
The darkness shineth as the light!
Search, prove my heart; it pants for thee
O burst these bonds, and set it free!
I cannot live contented here 2 If in this darksome wild I stray,
Without some glimpses of thy face; Be thou my light, be thou my way:
And heav'n, without thy presence there, No foes, no violence, I fear;
Would be a dark and tiresome place. No ill, while thou, my God, art near.
3 When earthly cares engross the day, 3
And hold my thoughts aside from
thee,
The shining hours of cheerful light
Are like long, tedious years to me.

4 And if no evening visit's paid
Between my Saviour and my soul,
How dull the night! how sad the shade!
How mournfully the minutes roll!
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674

When rising floods my soul o'erflow,
When sinks my heart in waves of woe,
O God, thy timely aid impart,
And raise my head and cheer my heart.
If rough and thorny be the way,
My strength proportion to my day:
Till toil and grief and pain shall cease,
Where all is calm and joy and peace.

Father of lights, we sing thy name,
Who kindlest up the lamp of day:
Wide as he spreads his golden flame,
His beams thy power and love dis-
play.
Fountain of good, from thee proceed
The copious drops of genial rain,
Which, o'er the hill and through the
mead,
Revive the grass and swell the grain.
O let not our forgetful hearts
O'erlook the tokens of thy care;
But what thy liberal hand imparts
Still own in praise, still ask in prayer.
So shall our suns more grateful shine,
And showers in sweeter drops shall
fall,
-H-f
When all our hearts and lives are thine,
And thou, O God, enjoyed in all!
Rev. Philip Doddridge, 1702
115
High in the heavens, eternal God,
Thy goodness in full glory shines;
Thy truth shall break through every
cloud
That veils and darkens thy designs.
Forever firm thy justice stands,
As mountains their foundations keep;
Wise are the wonders of thy hands;
Thy judgments are a mighty deep.
Life, like a fountain, rich and free,
Springs from the presence of my
Lord;
And in the light our souls shall see
The glories promised in thy word.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674

Gently distil like early dew.

Great guardian of my sleeping hours!

Thy sovereign word restores the light,
And quickens all my drowsy powers.

To thee I consecrate my days;
Perpetual blessings from thy hand
Demand perpetual songs of praise.

0 thou who hast at thy command
The hearts of all men in thy hand!
Our wayward, erring hearts incline
To have no other will but thine.
2 Our wishes, our desires, control;
Mould every purpose of the soul;
O'er all may we victorious be
That stands between ourselves and
thee.
3 Thrice blest will all our blessings be,
When we can look through them to
thee;
When each glad heart its tribute pays
Of love and gratitude and praise.
4 And while we to thy glory live,
May we to thee all glory give;
Until the final summons come,
That calls thy willing servants home.
Mrs. Jane Cotterill, 1790
118
i To thine eternal arms, O God,
Take us, thine erring children, in;
From dangerous paths too boldly trod,
From wandering thoughts and
dreams of sin.
2 Those arms were round our childish
ways,
A guard thro' helpless years to be;
O leave not our maturer days,
We still are helpless without thee!
We
trusted hope and pride and
strength: [was vain,
Our strength proved false, our pride
Our dreams have faded all at length, —
We come to thee, O Lord, again!
4 A guide to trembling steps yet be,
Give us of thine eternal powers!
So shall our paths all lead to thee,
And life smile on like childhood's
hours.

i Father, thy wonders do not singly stand,
Nor far removed where feet have seldom strayed
Around us ever lies the enchanted land,
In marvels rich to thine own sons displayed.
2 In finding thee are all things round us found;
In losing thee are all things lost beside;
Ears have we, but in vain sweet voices sound,
And to our eyes the vision is denied.
3 Open our eyes that we that world may see,
Open our ears that we thy voice may hear,
And in the spirit-land may ever be,
And feel thy presence with us always near.
4 No more to wander 'mid the things of time,
No more to suffer death or earthly change,
But with the Christian's joy and faith sublime
Through all thy vast eternal scenes to range.

When I survey life's varied scene,
Amid the darkest hours
Sweet rays of comfort shine between,
And thorns are mixed with flowers.
2 Is health and ease my happy share?
O may I bless my God!
Thy kindness let my songs declare,
And spread thy praise abroad.
3 And O, whate'er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign hand denies,
Accepted at thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise, —
4 " Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From every murmur free,
The blessings of thy grace impart,
And let me live to thee;
5 " Let the sweet hope that thou are mine
My path of life attend,
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And bless its happy end."

i Father! the dearest, holiest name
That men or angels know!
Fountain of life, that had no fount
From which itself could flow!

' From thee our living souls;
And undiminished still thy sea
Of calmest glory rolls.
3 All wills are held within thy will,
All things in thee possessed;
To labor for thee is our work,
To think of thee our rest.

Far from my home, on life's rough way,
0 teach me from my heart to say,
"Thy will be done!"
2 Though dark my path and sad my lot,
Let me be still and murmur not,
Or breathe the prayer divinely taught, —
"Thy will be done!"
3 Though thou hast called me to resign
What most I prized, it ne'er was mine:
1 have but yielded what was thine, —
"Thy will be done!"
4 Should grief or sickness waste away
My life in premature decay,
My Father, still I strive to say,
"Thy will be done!"

Blend it with thine, and take away
All that now makes it hard to say
"Thy will be done!"

Where thou, almighty one, dost move;
But I can always, always say
That God is love.

O'er earth, my soul to heaven above,
As to her native home, upsprings;
For God is love.
When mystery clouds my darkened path,
I'll check my dread, my doubts reprove;
In this my soul sweet comfort hath,
That God is love.
5 Let but my fainting heart be blest
With thy sweet spirit for its guest,
My God, to thee I leave the rest, -
"Thy will be done!"

But makes thy glories known;

God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform:
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill,
He treasures up his bright designs,
And works his sovereign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him for his grace:
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour:
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain:
God is his own interpreter,
And he will make it plain.
William Cowper, 1731

Thou one in all, thou all in one, [days,
Source of the grace that crowns our
For all thy gifts 'neath cloud or sun,
We lift to thee our grateful praise.
For life that thou hast made a joy, [thine,
For strength to make our lives like
For duties that our hands employ —
We bring our offerings to thy shrine.
2 We bless thee for tne life that flows, 4 Be thine to give and ours to own
A pulse in every grain of sand, The truth that sets thy children free,
A beauty in the blushing rose, [hand. The law that binds us to thy throne,
A thought and deed in brain and The love that makes us one with thee.

We own thy power divine,
We hear thy breath in every storm,
For all the winds are thine.
3 Thy mercy tempers every blast
To those who seek thy face;
And mingles, with the tempest's roar,
The whispers of thy grace.
2 Wide as they sweep their sounding way, 4 Those gentle whispers let me hear,
They work thy sovereign will; Till all the tumult cease,
And, awed by thy majestic voice, And gales of Paradise shall lull
Confusion shall be still. My weary soul to peace.
Rev. Philip Doddridge, 170a

i O thou, in all thy might so far,
In all thy love so near,
Beyond the range of sun and star,
And yet beside me here: 4
2 What heart can comprehend thy name,
Or, searching, find thee out,
Who art, within, a quickening flame,
A presence round about? 5
3 Yet though I know thee but in part,
I ask not, Lord, for more:
7o
Enough for me to know thou art,
To love thee and adore!
O sweeter far than aught besides,
The tender mystery
That like a veil of shadow hides
The light I may not see!
And dearer than all things I know
The childlike faith shall be,
That makes the darkest way I go
An open path to thee.

i My soul, praise the Lord, speak good of his name!
His mercies record, his bounties proclaim:
To God, their creator, let all creatures raise
The song of thanksgiving, the chorus of praise!
2 Though hid from man's sight, God sits on his throne,
Yet here by his works their author is known:
The world shines a mirror its maker to show,
And heaven views its image reflected below.
3 By knowledge supreme, by wisdom divine,
God governs this earth with gracious design;
O'er beast, bird, and insect, his providence reigns,
Whose will first created, whose love still sustains.
4 And man, his last work, with reason endued,
Who, falling through sin, by grace is renewed;
To God, his creator, let man ever raise
The song of thanksgiving, the chorus of praise!

i How large the promise, how divine,
To Abraham and his seed!
" I'll be a God to thee and thine,
Supplying all their need."
2 The words of his extensive love
From age to age endure;
The angel of the covenant proves,
And seals the blessings sure.
3 Jesus the ancient faith confirms
To our great fathers given;
He takes young children in his arms,
And calls them heirs of heaven.
4 Our God ! ■— how faithful are his ways!
His love endures the same;
Nor from the promise of his grace
Blots out our children's name.

i Walk with your God, along the road,
Your strength he will renew;
Wait on the everlasting God,

Made in the spirit strong;
Each task divine ye still shall hail,
And blend it with a song.
Thomas H. Gill, 1819

The Lord our God is full of might,
The winds obey his will;
He speaks, and in his heavenly height
The rolling sun stands still.
Rebel, ye waves! and o'er the land
With threatening aspect roar;
The Lord uplifts his awful hand,
And chains you to the shore.
Howl, winds of night! your force com-
bine;
Without his high behest,
Ye shall not in the mountain pine
Disturb the sparrow's nest.
Ye nations all, in reverence bend,
Ye monarchs, wait his nod,
And bid the choral song ascend
To celebrate our God!

Eternal and immortal King!
Thy peerless splendors none can bear;
But darkness veils seraphic eyes,
When God with all his glory's there.
Yet faith can pierce the awful gloom,
The great invisible can see;
And with its tremblings mingle joy,
In fixed regard, great God, to thee.
Then every tempting form of sin,
Shamed in thy presence, disappears;
And all the glowing, raptured soul,
The likeness it contemplates, wears.
O ever conscious to my heart,
Witness to its supreme desire!

To share thine own eternity.

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun
Does his successive journeys run;
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on his love with sweetest song,
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on his name.
Blessings abound where'er he reigns;
The prisoner leaps to loose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,
And all the sons of want are blest.
Let every creature rise, and bring
Peculiar honors to our King;
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the long amen.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674

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.
( See opposite page )
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 spread 'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O 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 for ever.

O'er captive death and conquered sin.
2 Ride on, ride on in majesty;
Hark! all the tribes "Hosanna" cry:
Thy humble beast pursues his road,
With palms and scattered garments
strewed.
Ride on, ride on in majesty;
The winged squadrons of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes
To see the approaching sacrifice.

Bow thy meek head to mortal pain,
Then take, O Christ, thy power, and

Hark! my soul! it is the Lord:
'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee,
Speaks to each one, " Lov'st thou me ? "
He delivered thee when bound,
And when wounded, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
Can a woman's tender care
Cease towards the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be;
Yet will he remember thee.
4 His is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above,
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 We shall see his glory soon.
When the work of grace is done;
Partners of his throne shall be;
Hear him asking, " Lov'st thou me? "
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint
That my love is weak and faint;
Yet I love thee and adore;
O for grace to love thee more!
William Cowper, 1731

Tune, FEDERAL STREET ( See opposite page )
Thou, Lord, who rear'st the mountain's
height, [bright,
And mak'st the cliffs with sunshine
O grant that we may own thy hand,
No less in every grain of sand.
With forests huge, of dateless time,
Thy will has hung each peak sublime;
But withered leaves beneath the tree
Have tongues that tell as loud of thee.
Teach us that not a leaf can grow,
Till life from thee within it flow;
That not a grain of dust can be,
O fount of being! save by thee; —
That every human word and deed,
Each flash of feeling, will, or creed,
Hath solemn meaning from above,
Begun and ended all in love.

i O thou great friend to all the sons of men,
Who once appeared in humblest guise below,
Sin to rebuke, to break the captive's chain,
And call thy brethren forth from want and woe!
2 Thee would I sing: thy truth is still the light
Which guides the nations, groping on their way,
Stumbling and falling in disastrous night,
Yet hoping ever for the perfect day.
3 Yes: thou art still the life; thou art the way
The holiest know, — light, life, and way of heaven;
And they who dearest hope, and deepest pray,
Toil by the light, life, way, which thou hast given.

i Jesus, where'er thy people meet,
There they behold thy mercy-seat;
Where'er they seek thee, thou art found,
And ev'ry place is hallowed ground.
2 For thou, within no walls confined,
Inhabitest the humble mind;
Such ever bring thee where they come,
And going, take thee to their home.
3 Great Shepherd of thy chosen few,
Thy former mercies here renew;
Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
Thesweetness of thy saving name.
5 Lord, we are few, but thou art near:
Nor short thine arm, nor deaf thine ear;
O, rend the heavens, come quickly
down,
And make a thousand hearts thine own.

My soul shall scorn it more and more.

On whom my hopes of heaven depend ?
No! when I blush, be this my shame, —
That I no more revere his name.
4 Here may we prove the power of prayer 3 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may
To strengthen faith, and sweeten care
To teach our faint desires to rise,
And bring all heaven before our eyes.
When I've no sins to cast away,
No tears to wipe, no joys to crave,
And no immortal soul to save.

Peace is there, that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.
In the cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.

Israel's shepherd, guide me, feed me
Through my pilgrimage below,
And beside the waters lead me,
Where thy flock rejoicing go.

Meekly kneeling, I implore;
I have found thee, and would never,
Never wander from thee more.

All hail the power of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown him Lord of all.
Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all;
To him all majesty ascribe,
And crown him Lord of all.
3 O that, with yonder sacred throng,
We at his feet may fall!
We'll join the everlasting song,
And crown him Lord of all;
And join the everlasting song,
And crown him Lord of all.
Rev. Edward Perronet, 1726
151 Tune, HEATH ( See opposite page )
1 How beauteous are their feet,
Who stand on Zion's hill;
Who bring salvation on their tongues,
And words of peace reveal! 4
2 How charming is their voice,
How sweet the tidings are!
Zion, behold thy Saviour king:
He reigns and triumphs here. 5
3 How happy are our ears
That hear the joyful sound,
83
Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!
How blessed are our eyes,
That see this heavenly light!
Prophets and priests desired it long,
But died without the sight.
The watchmen join their voice,
And tuneful notes employ:
Jerusalem breaks forth in songs,
And deserts learn the joy.

Chrisc the head and corner-stone,
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the church in one;
Holy Zion's help forever,
And her confidence alone.
2 To this temple, where we call thee,
Come, O Lord of hosts, to-day:
With thy wonted loving-kindness,
84
Hear thy servants as they pray;
And thy fullest benediction
Shed within its walls alway.
Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
What they ask of thee to gain,
What they gain from thee, forever
With the blessed to retain,
And hereafter in thy glory
Evermore with thee to reign.

Christ, the true, the only light,
Sun of righteousness, arise!
Triumph o'er the shades of night:
Day-spring from on high, be near;
Day-star, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
Unaccompanied by thee;
Joyless is the day's return,
Till thy mercy's beams I see;
Till thou inward light impart,
Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
Visit then this soul of mine;
Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
Fill me, radiancy divine;
Scatter all my unbelief;
More and more thyself display,
Shining to the perfect day.

i My dear Redeemer and my Lord,
I read my duty in thy word ;
But in thy life the law appears,
Drawn out in living characters.
2 Such was thy truth and such thy zeal,
Such deference to thy Father's will,
Such love and meekness so divine, —
I would transcribe, and make them
mine.
3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer;
The desert thy temptations knew,
Thy conflict and thy victory, too.
4 Be thou my pattern: may I bear
More of thy gracious image here!
Then God, the judge, shall own my
name
Amongst the followers of the Lamb.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674

How sweetly flowed the gospel's sound
From lips of gentleness and grace,
When listening thousands gathered
round,
And joy and reverence filled the place !
From heaven he came, of heaven he
spoke,
To heaven he led his followers' way;
Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,
Unveiling an immortal day.
" Come, wanderers, to my Father's
home;
Come, all ye weary ones, and rest."
Yes, sacred teacher, we will come,
Obey thee, love thee, and be blest.
Decay, then, tenements of dust;
Pillars of earthly pride, decay:
A nobler mansion waits the just,
And Jesus has prepared the way.

Immortal love, forever full,
Forever flowing free,
Forever shared, forever whole,
A never-ebbing sea!
Our outward lips confess the name
All other names above;
Love only knoweth whence it came,
And comprehendeth love.
We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For him no depths can drown:
4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present help is he;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
5 The healing of his seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain;
We touch him in life's throng and press,
And we are whole again.
6 Thro' him the first fond prayers are said
Our lips of childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with his name.

And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with thee to heaven.

i Jesus, my Saviour, look on me,
For I am weary and opprest;
I come to cast myself on thee, —
Thou art my rest.
2 Look down on me, for I am weak;
I feel the toilsome journey's length;
Thine aid omnipotent I seek, —
Thou art my strength.
3 I am bewildered on my way;
Dark and tempestuous is the night;
O send thou forth some cheering ray,-
Thou art my light.
4 I hear the storms around me rise;
But when I dread the impending shock,
My spirit to the refuge flies, —
Thou art my rock.
5 Standing alone on Jordan's brink,
In that tremendous latest strife,
Thou wilt not suffer me to sink, —
Thou art my life.
6 Thou wilt my every want supply,
E'en to the end, whate'er befall;
- Through life, in death, eternally,
Thou art my all.

Hear the prayers I oft have prayed,

Cheerless, none can cheer but thou;

Appears each grace divine!
The virtues, all in Jesus met,
With mildest radiance shine.
To spread the rays of heavenly light,
To give the mourner joy,
To preach glad tidings to the poor,
Was his divine employ.
'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,
Patient and meek he stood:
His foes, ungrateful, sought his life;
He labored for their good.
In the last hour of deep distress,
Before his Father's throne,
With soul resigned he bowed, and said,
" Thy will, not mine, be done."
Be Christ our pattern and our guide;
His image may we bear!
O may we tread his holy steps,
His joy and glory share!

It is finished, — glorious word
From thy lips, our suffering Lord;
Word of high, triumphant might,
Ere thy spirit takes its flight.
It is finished : all is o'er;
Pain and scorn oppress no more.
Now no more foreboding dread
Shades the path thy feet must tread ;
No more fear lest, in thine hour,
Pain should patience overpower.
On the perfect sacrifice
Not a stain of weakness lies.
Champion, lay thine armor by;
'Tis thine hour of victory.
All thy toils are now o'erpast;
Thou hast found thy rest at last:
All hath faithfully been done,
And the world's salvation won.
Rev. Stephen G. Bulfinch, 1809

Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel the tempter's power;
Your Redeemer's conflict see,
Watch with him one bitter hour;
Turn not from his griefs away,
Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
Follow to the judgment-hall;
View the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
Learn of him to bear the cross.
Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
There, adoring at his feet,
Mark the miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete;
" It is finished! " hear him cry;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

i Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather,
When the sad heart is weary and distressed;
Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father,
Come unto me, and I will give you rest:
2 Ye who have mourned when the spring flowers were taken,
When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground ;
When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken,
Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned.
3 Large are the mansions in the Father's dwelling ;
Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim;
Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling;
Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn.
4 There, like an Eden blossoming in gladness,
Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed:
Come unto me, all ye who droop in sadness,
Come unto me, and I will give you rest.

i Be with me, Lord, where'er I go; [do ;
Teach me what thou would st have me
Suggest whate'er I think or say;
Direct me in the narrow way.
2 Prevent me, lest I harbor pride,
Lest I in my own strength confide;
NATIVITY CM. (Hymn 173)
Show me my weakness; let me see
I have my power, my all from thee.

Incline my nature to obey;
What thou abhorrest, let me flee,
And only love what pleases thee.

TALLIS'S ORDINAL C. M.
T. Tallis
i Beneath the shadow of the cross,
As earthly hopes remove,
His new commandment Jesus gives, -
His blessed word of love.
2 O bond of union, strong and deep!
O bond of perfect peace!
Not even the lifted cross can harm,
If we but hold to this.
3 Then, Jesus, be thy spirit ours;
And swift our feet shall move
To deeds of pure self-sacrifice,
And the sweet tasks of love.
Rev. Samuel Longfellow, 1810
Bright was the guiding star that led,
With mild, benignant ray,
The Gentiles to the lowly shed
Where the Redeemer lay.
a But, lo! a brighter, clearer light,
Now points to his abode:
It shines through sin and sorrow's night,
To guide us to our Lord.
3 O haste to follow where it leads!
The gracious call obey,
Be rugged wilds or flowery meads
The Christian's destined way.
4 O gladly tread the narrow path,
While light and grace are given!
Who meekly follow Christ on earth
Shall reign with him in heaven.
Harriet Auber, 1773

Tune, NATIVITY
( See opposite page )
i Jesus, the very thought of thee 3 O hope of every contrite heart,
With sweetness fills my breast; 0 joy of all the meek,
But sweeter far thy face to see, To those who fall, how kind thou art!
And in thy presence rest. How good to those who seek!
2 Nor voice can sing,'nor heart can frame, 4 Jesus, our only joy be thou,
Nor can the memory find As thou our prize wilt be:
A sweeter sound than thy blest name, In thee be all our glory now,
O Saviour of mankind! And through eternity.

My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine !
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
O let me, from this day,
Be wholly thine!
While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
Pure, warm and changeless be,
A living fire!
When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Saviour! then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul!

1 Come, said Jesus' sacred voice, —
Come, and make my paths your choice;
I will guide you to your home:
Weary pilgrim, hither come.
2 Thou who, houseless, sole, forlorn,
Long hast borne the proud world's
scorn,
Long hast roamed the barren waste,
Weary pilgrim, hither haste.
3 Ye who, tossed on beds of pain,
Seek for ease, but seek in vain;
Ye whose swoln and sleepless eyes
Watch to see the morning rise;
4 Ye, by fiercer anguish torn,
In remorse for guilt who mourn, —
Here repose your heavy care:
Let the Lord the burden bear.
5 Hither come ; for here is found
Balm that flows for every wound,
Peace that ever shall endure,
Rest eternal, sacred, sure.

i 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.
2 He comes, with 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.
3 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, 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.
4 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;
That name to us is — Love.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on his cradle the dewT-drops are shining,
Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall,
Angels adore him in slumber reclining,
Chosen of God, the Redeemer of all.
3 Say, shall we yield him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom, and offerings divine ?
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine ?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation;
Vainly with gifts would his favors secure:
Richer by far is the heart's adoration;
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning^
Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.

i Father, to us thy children, humbly kneeling,
Conscious of weakness, ignorance, sin, and shame,
Give such a force of holy thought and feeling,
That we may live to glorify thy name;
2 That we may conquer base desire and passion,
That we may rise from selfish thought and will,
O'ercome the world's allurement, threat, and fashion,
Walk humbly, gently, leaning on thee still.
3 Let all thy goodness by our minds be seen,
Let all thy mercy on our souls be sealed :
Lord, if thou wilt, thy power can make us clean;
O speak the word, thy servants shall be healed!

To prayer, to prayer! for the morning breaks,
And earth in her Maker's smile awakes;
His light is on all below and above, —
The light of gladness, of life, and of love.
O then on the breath of this early air,
Send up the incense of grateful prayer.
2 To prayer! for the day that God hath blest
Comes tranquilly on with its welcome rest.
It speaks of creation's early bloom;
It speaks of the Prince who burst the tomb:
Then summon the spirit's exalted powers,
And devote to heaven the hallowed hours.
To prayer! when the glorious sun is gone,
And the gathering darkness of night comes on:
Like a curtain from God's kind hand it flows,
To shade the couch where his children repose.
Then kneel, while the watching stars are bright,
And give your last thoughts to the guardian of night.

i O draw me, Father, after thee!
So shall I run and never tire;
With gracious words still comfort me;
Be thou my hope, my sole desire:
Free me from every weight ; nor fear
Nor sin can come, if thou art here.
2 From all eternity, with love '
Unchangeable thou hast me viewed ;
Ere knew this beating heart to move,
Thy tender mercies me pursued:
Ever with me may they abide,
And close me in on every side!
3 In suffering be thy love my peace,
In weakness be thy love my power,
And when the storms of life shall cease
My God, in that important hour,

In death as life be thou my guide,
And bear me through death's whelming
tide.

Forth from the dark and stormy sky,
Lord, to thine altar's shade we fly;
Forth from the world, its hope and fear,
Father, we seek thy shelter here :
Weary and weak, thy grace we pray;
Turn not, O Lord, thy guests away.
Long have we roamed in want and pain,
Long have we sought thy rest in vain ;
Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost,
Long have our souls been tempest-tost:
Low at thy feet our sins we lay;
Turn not, O Lord, thy guests away!

And heaven on earth be won.

CHATHAM 7.
Not forever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be;
But the steep and rugged pathway
May we tread rejoicingly.
Not forever by still waters
Would we idly quiet stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
Be our strength in hours of weakness;
In our wanderings be our guide;
Through endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side!

Day by day the manna fell:
O to learn this lesson well!
Still by constant mercy fed,
Give me, Lord, my daily bread.
Day by day, the promise reads,
" Daily strength for daily needs:
Cast foreboding fears away;
Take the manna of to-day."
Lord, my times are in thy hand:
All my sanguine hopes have planned,
To thy wisdom I resign,
And woulcl mould my will to thine.
Thou my daily task shalt give;
Day by day to thee I live;
So shall added years fulfil
Not my own, my Father's will.

Ye starry lights, ye twinkling flames,
Shine to your Makers praise.
3 Ye vapors, when ye rise,
Or fall in showers, or snow,
Ye thunders, murmuring round the skies,
His power and glory show.
4 Wind, hail, and flashing fire,
Agree to praise the Lord,
When ye in dreadful storms conspire
To execute his word.
5 By all his works above
His honors be expressed;
But they who know his heavenly love
Should sing his praises best.

i From the recesses of a lowly spirit,
Our humble prayer ascends; O I Father, I hear it, |
Borne on the trembling wings of awe and meekness;
For- 1 give its I weak- 1 ness!
2 We see thy hand; it leads us, it supports us:
We hear thy voice; it counsels I and it I courts us: I
And then we turn away; and still thy kindness
For- 1 gives our I blind- 1 ness.
3 Father and Saviour, plant within each bosom
The seeds of holiness; and I bid them I blossom |
In fragrance and in beauty bright and vernal,
And I spring e-l ter-l nal.
4 Then place them in thine everlasting gardens,
Where angels walk, and seraphs I are the I wardens;
Where every flower, escaping through death's portal,
Be- 1 comes i-m-l mor-l tal.

Amidst a world of hopes and fears,
A wild of cares and toils and tears,
Where foes alarm, and dangers threat,
And pleasures kill, and glories cheat;
Shed, Lord of light, a heavenly ray
To guide me in the doubtful way;
And o'er me hold thy shield of power
To guard me in the dangerous hour.
HAMBURG
Each sacred principle impart, —
The faith that sanctifies the heart,
Hope that to heaven's high vault
aspires,
And love that warms with holy fires.
Afflicted, may I not repine,
My will submissive bend to thine;
And through this maze of mortal ill,
Safe lead me to thy heavenly hill.

God is the strength of every saint.

196 Tune, WILSON;
Prayer is the soul's sincere desire,
Uttered or unexpressed;
The motion of a hidden fire,
That trembles in the breast. ,
Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear;
The upward glancing of the eye,
When none but God is near.
Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The majesty on high.
FAITH C. M.
( Hymn 1
I
also BEATITUDO (See opposite page)
Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice,
Returning from his ways;
While angels in their songs rejoice
And cry, "Behold, he prays!"
Prayer is the Christian's vital breath,
The Christian's native air;
His watchword at the gates of death:
He enters heaven with prayer.
O thou by whom we come to God, —
The life, the truth, the way!
The path of prayer thyself hast trod:
Lord, teach us how to pray.

God of our fathers, by whose hand
Thy people still are blest,
Be with us through our pilgrimage,
Conduct us to our rest.
Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
O spread thy sheltering wings around,
Till all our wanderings cease;
And, at our Father's loved abode,
Our souls arrive in peace.
Such blessings, from thy gracious hand,
Our humble prayers implore;
And thou, the Lord, shalt be our God
And portion evermore.

Praise the Lord! his glories show, 1
Saints within his courts below,
Angels round his throne above,
All that see and share his love;
Earth to heaven, and heaven to earth
Tell his wonders, sing his worth;
Age to age and shore to shore
Praise him, praise him evermore.
Praise the Lord! his mercies trace; 2
Praise his providence and grace:
All that he for man hath done,
All he sends us through his Son.
Strings and voices, hands and hearts
In the concert bear your parts;
All that breathe your Lord adore,
Praise him, praise him evermore.

Every fainting soul inspire;
Enter every drooping heart:
Every mournful spirit cheer;
Scatter all our doubt and gloom;
Father, in thy grace appear,
To thy human temples come!
Come, in this accepted hour,
Bring thy heavenly kingdom in;
Fill us with thy glorious power,
Rooting out the seeds of sin:
Nothing more can we require,
We can rest in nothing less;
Be thou all our hearts' desire,
All our joy and all our peace.

I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.

1 Almighty God, in humble prayer
To thee our souls we lift;
Do thou our waiting minds prepare
For thy most needful gift.
2 We ask not golden streams of wealth
Along our path to flow;
We ask not undecaying health,
Nor length of years below;
3 We ask not honors which an hour
May bring and take away
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore,
We ask not pleasure, pomp, nor power, And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
Lest we should go astrav
4 We ask for wisdom : Lord , impart
The knowledge how to live;
A wise and understanding heart
To ail before thee
give.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven;
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
The young remember thee in youth,
Before the evil days;
The old are guided by thy truth,
In wisdom's pleasant ways.
James Montgomery, 1771

May its departing ray

In every joy that crowns my days,

Or seek relief in prayer.

Thy love my thoughts shall fill;
Resigned, when storms of sorrow lower,
My soul shall meet thy will.

The lowering storm shall see;

That heart will rest on thee.

The fountain in its source
No drought of summer fears;
The farther it pursues its course,
The nobler it appears.
But shallow cisterns yield
A scanty, short supply;
The morning sees them amply filled ;
At evening they are dry.
The cisterns I forsake,
O fount of bliss, for thee;
My thirst with living waters slake,
And drink eternity.

O bless the Lord, my soul!
Let all within me join,
And aid my tongue, to bless his name
Whose favors are divine.
O bless the Lord, my soul!
Nor let his mercies lie
Forgotten in unthankfulness,
And without praises die.
'Tis he forgives thy sins;
'Tis he relieves thy pain;
'Tis he that heals thy sicknesses,
And makes thee strong again.
He crowns thy life with love;
He rescues from the grave:
He that redeemed my soul from death
Hath sovereign power to save.

Author of life divine
Who hast a table spread
Furnished with mystic wine
And everlasting bread,
Preserve the life thyself hast given,
And feed and train us up to heaven.
Our needy souls sustain
With fresh supplies of love,
Till all thy life we gain,
And all thy fullness prove,
And, strengthened by thy perfect grace,
Behold without a veil thy face.

1 When the Paschal evening fell,
Deep on Kedron's hallowed dell,
When around the festal board
Sate the apostles with their Lord,
2 Then his parting word he said,
Blessed the cup and brake the bread.
"This whene'er ye do or see,
Evermore remember me!"
3 Years have passed, in every clime,
Changing with the changing time,
Varying through a thousand forms,
Torn by factions, rocked by storms;
4 Still the sacred table spread,
Flowing cup and broken bread,
With that parting word agree,
"Drink and eat; remember me."

To thy cross we look and live.

Through the life of him who died;

On that forsaken night,
When from his side the nearest fled,
And death was close in sight.
2 Through all the following ages' track,
The world remembers yet;
With love and worship gazes back, I
And never can forget.
3 But none of us has seen his face,
Or heard the words he said;
And none can now his looks retrace
In breaking of the bread.
4 O blest are they who have not seen,
And yet believe him still; 3
They know him, when his praise they
mean,
And when they do his will.

Though on his breast that moment lay
The loved disciple's head;
2 Though to his eye that moment sprung
The kind, the pitying tear
For those that eager round him hung,
His words of love to hear.
3 No, not for these alone, he prayed;
For all of mortal race,
Whene'er their fervent prayer is made,
Where'er their dwelling-place.
221
i Ye followers of the Prince of peace,
Who round his table draw!
Remember what his spirit was,
What his peculiar law.
2 The love, which all his bosom filled,
Did all his actions guide;
Inspired by love, he lived and taught;
Inspired by love he died.
3 Let each the sacred law fulfil;
Like his be every mind :
Be every temper formed by love,
And every action kind.
4 Sweet is the thought, when thus we 4
meet
His feast of love to share;
And 'mid the toils of life, how sweet
The memory of his prayer.
Emily Taylor, 1795

Disgrace his honored name;

The title which they claim.

Of mingled praise and prayer,
Are but a worthless sacrifice,
Unless the heart is there.
2 And while the years, an endless host,
Come pressing swiftly on, [boast
The brightest names that earth can
Just glisten, and are gone.
2 Upon thine all-discerning ear
Let no vain words intrude;
No tribute but the vow sincere,
The tribute of the good.
3 Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed
A lustre pure and sweet;
And still it leads, as once it led,
To the Messiah's feet.
4 O Father, may that holy star
Grow every year more bright,
And send its glorious beams afar
To fill the world with light.
William Cullen Bryant, 1794
3 My offerings will indeed be blest,
If sanctified by thee;
If thy pure spirit touch my breast
With its own purity.

4 O may that spirit warm my
To piety and love,
And to life's lowly vale impart
Some rays from heaven above!

My God, permit me not to be
A stranger to myself and thee:
Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove,
Forgetful of my highest love.
Why should my passions mix with
earth,
And thus debase my heavenly birth ?
Why should I cleave to things below,
And let my God, my Saviour, go?
Call me away from flesh and sense, —
One sovereign word can draw me
thence :
I would obey the voice divine,
And all inferior joys resign.
Be earth, with all her scenes, with-
drawn;
Let noise and vanity be gone;
In secret silence of the mind,
My heaven, and there my God, I find.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674

1 Like shadows gliding o'er the plain,
Or clouds that roll successive on,
Man's busy generations pass;
And, while we gaze, their forms are
gone.
2 " He lived, — he died ! " behold the sum,
The abstract, of the historian's page!
Alike in God's all-seeing eye
The infant's day, the patriarch's
age.
3 O Father, in whose mighty hand
The boundless years and ages lie!
Teach us thy boon of life to prize,
And use the moments as they fly;
4 To crowd the narrow span of life
With wise designs and virtuous deeds:
So shall we wake from death's dark
night,
To share the glory that succeeds.
John Taylor, 1750

Go forward, Christian soldier,
Beneath his banner true:
The Lord himself, thy leader,
Shall all thy foes subdue.
His love foretells thy trials,
He knows thine hourly need;
He can, with bread of heaven,
Thy fainting spirit feed.
Go forward, Christian soldier,
Fear not the secret foe;
Far more are o'er thee watching
Than human eyes can know.
Trust only Christ, thy captain,
Cease not to watch and pray;
Heed not the treacherous voices
That lure thy soul astray.
Go forward, Christian soldier,
Nor dream of peaceful rest,
Till Satan's host is vanquished
And heaven is all possessed;
Till Christ himself shall call thee
To lay thine armor by,
And wear, in endless glory,
The crown of victory.
Go forward, Christian soldier,
Fear not the gathering night:
The Lord has been thy shelter,
The Lord will be thy light.
When morn his face revealeth,
Thy dangers all are past;
O pray that faith and virtue
May keep thee to the last!

i Thou hidden love of God, whose 3
height,
Whose depth unfathomed no man
knows,
I see from far thy beauteous light,
Inly I sigh for thy repose.
My heart is pained; nor can it be
At rest, till it find rest in thee.

2 Thy secret voice invites me still
The sweetness of thy yoke to prove :
And fain I would ; but though my will
Seem fixed, yet wide my passions rove ;
Yet hindrances strew all the way;
I aim at thee, yet from thee stray.
i34
'Tis mercy all, that thou has brought
My mind to seek her peace in thee;
Yet, while I seek, but find thee not,
No peace my wandering soul shall
see.
O when shall all my wanderings end,
And all my steps to thee-ward tend !
Is there a thing beneath the sun,
That strives with thee my heart to
share ?
Ah! tear it thence, and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there.
Then shall my heart from earth be free,
When it hath found repose in thee.

i Out of the depths I cry to thee,
Lord God: O hear my prayer!
Incline a gracious ear to me,
And bid me not despair.
2 My hope I rest on thee, O Lord!
My works I count but dust:
I build not there, but on thy word,
And in thy goodness trust.
3 Tho' great my sins, and sore my wounds,
And deep and dark my fall,
Thy helping mercy hath no bounds;
Thy love surpasseth all.

1 Peace, troubled soul. Thou need'st i
not fear;
Thy great protector still is near:
He who has fed, will feed thee still;
Be calm, and sink into his will:
Who hears the ravens when they cry
Will all his children's needs supply.
2 Peace, doubting heart; distrust not God: 2
Though dark the valley, steep the way,
Still lean upon his staff and rod,
Still make his providence thy stay:
A sudden calm thy soul shall fill, —
'Tis God, who whispers, Peace; be still.

Demands our souls' collected powers.

These solemn, these devoted hours;
O may our souls, adoring, own
The grace which calls us to thy throne.
Thy spirit's powerful aid impart!
O may thy word with life divine
Engage the ear and warm the heart.
Then shall the day indeed be thine;
Then shall our souls, adoring, own
The grace which calls us to thy throne.

Strength to seek a better way;
When our wakening thoughts begin
First to loathe their cherished sin;
When our weary spirits fail,
And our aching brows are pale;
When our tears bedew thy word, —
Then, O then, have mercy, Lord!
2 Lord, have mercy when we know
First how vain this world below;
When its darker thoughts oppress,
Doubts perplex, and fears distress;

When the earliest gleam is given
Of the bright but distant heaven, —
Then thy fostering grace afford;
Then, O then, have mercy, Lord!
Lord, have mercy when we lie
On the restless bed, and sigh, —
Sigh for death, yet fear it still,
From the thought of former ill;
When the dim, advancing gloom
Tells us that our hour has come;
When is loosed the silver cord, —
Then, 0 then, have mercy, Lord!

Years are coming — speed them onward !
When the sword shall gather rust,
And the helmet, lance, and falchion
Sleep at last in silent dust!
Earth has heard too long of battle,
Heard the trumpet's voice too long;
But another age advances,
Seers foretold in ancient song.
Years are coming when, forever,
War's dread banner shall be furled,
And the angel peace be welcomed,
Regent of the happy world.
Hail with song that glorious era,
WThen the sword shall gather rust,
And the helmet, lance, and falchion
Sleep at last in silent dust.

Upward tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.

i My heart is resting, O my God !
I will give thanks and sing;
My heart is at the secret source
Of every precious thing.
2 I thirst for springs of heavenly life,
And here all day they rise;
I seek the treasure of thy love,
And close at hand it lies.
4 Mine be the reverent listening love
That waits all day on thee;
The service of a watchful heart
Which no one else can see;
5 The faith that, in a hidden way
No other eye may know,
Finds all its daily work prepared,
And loves to have it so.
3 Glory to thee for strength withheld,
For want and weakness known, —
The fear that sends me to thy breast
For what is most mine own.
6 My heart is resting, O my God!
My heart is in thy care;
I hear the voice of joy and praise
Resounding everywhere.
Anna L. Waring, 1820

I want the spirit of power within,
Of love and of a healthful mind,
Of power to conquer every sin,
Of love to God and all mankind;
Of health that pain and death defies
Most vigorous when the body dies.
2 O that the comforter would come,
Nor visit as a transient guest,
But fix in me his constant home,
And keep possession of my breast;
And make my soul his loved abode,
The temple of indwelling God !

With humble confidence look up,
And know thou hear'st my prayer.
Give me on thee to wait,
Till I can all things do, —
On thee, almighty to create,

2 I want a sober mind,
A self-renouncing will,
That tramples down and casts behind
The baits of pleasing ill;
A soul inured to pain,
To hardship, grief, and loss;
Bold to take up, firm to sustain,
The consecrated cross.
I want a godly fear,
A quick-discerning eye,
That looks to thee when sin is near,
And sees the tempter fly;
A spirit still prepared,
And armed with jealous care,
For ever standing on its guard,
And watching unto prayer.

And knoweth more of all my needs
Than all my prayers have told.
a Enough, that blessings undeserved
Have marked my erring track;

Which opens into light,

Slow rounding into calm.

The bird let loose in eastern skies, 3 So grant me, God", from every care
When hastening fondly home, And stain of passion free,
Ne'er stoops to earth her wing, nor flies Aloft, through virtue's purer air,
Where idle warblers roam; To hold my course to thee, —
2 But high she shoots thro' air and light,'
Above all low delay, [flight,
Where nothing earthly bounds her
Nor shadow dims her way.
No sin to cloud, no lure to stay
My soul as home she springs,
Thy sunshine on her joyful way,
Thy freedom in her wings!

Perils and snares beset thee round :
Beware of all ; guard every part,

Thro' life and death, thro' fate, thro'

A thread of law runs thro' my prayer
Stronger than iron cables are;
And love and longing towards her goal
Are pilots sweet to guide the soul.
O thou, God's mariner, heart of mine,
Spread canvas to the airs divine;
Spread sail, and let thy fortune be
Forgotten in thy destiny.
The wind ahead ? The wind is free;
For evermore it favoureth me:
To shores of God still blowing fair,
O'er seas of God my bark doth bear.
For life must live, and soul must sail,
And unseen over seen prevail;
And all God's argosies come to shore,
Let ocean smile, or rage, or roar.

Nor tire amidst the heavenly road.
From thee, the ever-flowing spring,
Our souls shall drink a fresh supply,
While such as trust their native strength
Shall melt away, and droop, and die.

Longing for its rest and food
In some hidden, untried good ?

Him it seeks from whom it came:
While I muse, I feel the fire
Burning on, and mounting higher.
4 Onward, upward, to thy throne,
O thou infinite, unknown!
Still it presseth, till it see
Thee in all, and all in thee.

i O how the thought of God attracts,
And draws the heart from earth,
And sickens it of passing shows
And dissipating mirth!
2 O utter but the name of God
Down in your heart of hearts,
And see how from the world at once
All tempting light departs.
3 A trusting heart, a yearning eye,
Can win their way above !
If mountains can be moved by faith,
Is there less power in love?
251 .
i Weak and irresolute is man:
The purpose of to-day,
Woven with pains into his plan, -
To-morrow rends away.
2 Some foe to his upright intent
Finds out his weaker part:
Virtue engages his assent,
But pleasure wins his heart.
3 'Tis here the folly of the wise
Through all his art we view;
And while his tongue the charge denies,
His conscience owns it true.
4 How little of that road, my soul! 4 Bound on a voyage of awful length,
How little hast thou gone! And dangers little known,
Take heart, and let the thought of God A stranger to superior strength,
Allure thee further on. Man vainly trusts his own.
5 Then keep thy conscience sensitive;
No inward token miss;
And go where grace entices thee : —
Perfection lies in this.
Rev. Frederick W. Faber, 1814
5 But oars alone can ne'er prevail
To reach the distant coast: [sail.

i Christian! dost thou see them
On the holy ground,
How the powers of darkness,
Rage thy steps around ?
Christian, up and smite them,
Counting gain but loss;
In the strength that cometh
By the holy cross.
2 Christian! dost thou feel them,
How they work within,
Striving, tempting, luring,
Goading into sin?
Christian! never tremble;
Never be downcast;
Gird thee for the battle,
Watch and pray and fast.
148
3 Christian! dost thou hear them,
How they speak thee fair?
"Always fast and vigil?
Always watch and prayer?".
Christian! answer boldly:
"While I breathe, I pray!"
Peace shall follow battle,
Night shall end in day.
4 " Well I know thy trouble,
0 my servant true;
Thou art very weary,
1 was weary too;
But that toil shall make thee
Some day all mine own,
And the end of sorrow
Shall be near my throne."

i Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian -while he sings;
It is the Lord, who rises
With healing on his wings:
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
3 " It can bring with it nothing
But he will bear us through;
Who gives the lilies clothing
Will clothe his people too;
Beneath the spreading heavens
No creature but is fed;
And he who feeds the ravens
Will give his children bread.
In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God's salvation,
And find it ever new;
Set free from present sorrow,
We cheerfully can say,
"E'en let the unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may!
"Though vine nor fig-tree neither
Their wonted fruit shall bear,
Though all the field should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there,
Yet God the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice:
For, while in him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice."

Through the harsh noises of our day
A low, sweet prelude finds its way;
Through clouds of doubt and creeds of
fear
A light is breaking calm and clear.
Henceforth my heart shall sigh no
more
For olden time and holier shore :
God's love and blessing, then and there,
Are now and here and everywhere.
John G. Whittier, 1807

i Yet sometimes gleams upon my sight
Through present wrong the eternal
right;
And step by step, since time began,
I see the steady gain of man, —

Remains to make our own time glad,
Our common, daily life divine,
And every land a Palestine.

Be it my only wisdom here
To serve the Lord with filial fear,
With loving gratitude;
Superior sense may I display,
By shunning every evil way,
And walking in the good.
O may I still from sin depart!
A wise and understanding heart,
Father, to me be given!
And let me through thy spirit know
To glorify my God below,
And find my way to heaven.
Wesley's Collection
ZuO Tune, EVAN ( See opposite page )
i O happy is the man who hears 4
Instruction's faithful voice;
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice!
2 Wisdom has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold; z
And her rewards more precious are
Than is the gain of gold.
3 She guides the young, with innocence 2
In pleasure's path to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
151
According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
Scotch Paraphrases
257
This is the first and great command —
To love thy God above;
And this the second — as thyself
Thy neighbor thou shalt love.
Who is my neighbor? He who wants
The help which thou canst give;
And both the law and prophets say
This do, and thou shalt live.

i Heaven is a place of rest from sin,
But all who hope to enter there,
Must here that holy course begin,
Which shall their souls for rest pre-
pare.
2 Clean hearts, O God, in us create,
Right spirits, Lord, in us renew;
Commence we now that higher state,
Now do thy will as angels do.
3 In Jesus' footsteps may we tread,
Learn every lesson of his love;
And be from grace to glory led,
From heaven below to heaven above.

O blessed life! the heart at rest,
When all without tumultuous seems,
That trusts a higher will, and deems
That higher will, made ours, the
best.
2 O blessed life ! the mind that sees —
Whatever change the years may
bring —
Some good still hid in every thing,
And shining through all mysteries.
3 O blessed life! the soul that soars,
When sense of mortal sight is dim,
Beyond the sense, — beyond, to him
Whose love unlocks the heavenly
doors.
4 O blessed life! heart, mind, and soul
From selfish aims and wishes free,
In all at one with Deity
And loyal to the Lord's control.

Fountain of reason! Judge of right!
Parent of good! whose blessings flow
On all above, and all below:
2 Assist us, Lord, to act, to be,
What nature and thy laws decree;
Worthy that intellectual flame
Which from thy breathing spirit came.
3 Our moral freedom to maintain,
Bid passion serve, and reason reign,
Self-poised and independent still
On this world's varying good or ill.
4 No slave to profit, shame, or fear,
O may our steadfast bosoms bear
The stamp of heaven : an upright heart,
Above the mean disguise of art!
5 May our expanded souls disclaim
The narrow view, the selfish aim;
But with a Christian zeal embrace
Whate'er is friendly to our race.
6 O Father, grace and virtue grant!
Xo more we wish, no more we want:
To know, to serve thee, and to love,
Is peace below, is bliss above.
Rev. Henry Moore, 173a
261 Tune, LANCASTER ( See opposite page )
O happy soul that lives on high
While yet he sojourns here!
His hopes are fixed above the sky,
And faith forbids his fear.
His conscience knows no secret stings;
While peace and joy combine
To form a life whose holy springs
Are hidden and divine.
He waits in secret on his God;
His God in secret sees;
Let earth be all in arms abroad,
He dwells in heavenly peace.
His pleasures rise from things unseen,
Beyond this world and time,
Where neither eye nor ear hath been,
Xor thoughts of mortals climb.

The evening shadows fall;
But pass not from us with the sun,
True light that lightenest all.

Where night can never be,
The white-robed harpers of the sky
Bring ceaseless hymns to thee.

'Tis thine each soul to calm,
Each wayward thought reclaim,
And make our life a daily psalm
Of glory to thy name.

Shall come the glorious end ;
And songs of angels and of men
In perfect praise shall blend.

1 In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear;
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid;
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed ?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way he taketh,
And I will walk with him.
Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me
Where darkest clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure,
My path in life is free:
My Father has my treasure,
And he will walk with me.

i So let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Saviour God,
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of sin.
3 Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temperance, truth, and love
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope, —
The bright appearance of the Lord ;
And faith stands leaning on his word.

Rise o'er sin and fear and care,
Joy to find, in every station,
Something still to do or bear!
2 Think what spirit dwells within thee,
What a Father's smile is thine,
What thy Saviour did to win thee, —
Child of heaven, shouldst thou
repine ?
3 Haste, then, on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by

Heaven's eternal day's before thee,

Hope soon change to glad fruition,

267 Tune, ST. DROSTANE ( See opposite page)
How happy is he born and taught
That serveth not another's will,
Whose armor is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill,
Whose passions not his masters are,
Whose soul is still prepared for
death,
Untied unto the world by care
Of public fame or private breath ;
Who hath his life from rumors freed,
Whose conscience is his strong
retreat,
Whose state can neither flatterers feed,
Nor ruin make oppressors great !
This man is freed from servile bands
Of hope to rise, or fear to fall, —
Lord of himself, though not of lands,
And, having nothing, yet hath all.

All my desires and hopes beside
Are faint and cold, compared with

Its golden shower, as day flows in;

Now is breaking
O'er the earth another day;
Come, to him who made this
splendor,
See thou render
All thy feeble strength can pay.
2 Pray that he may prosper ever
Each endeavour,
When thine aim is good and true;
But that he may ever thwart thee,
And convert thee,
When thou evil would 'st pursue.
3 Think that he thy ways beholdeth;
He unfoldeth
Every fault that lurks within;
He the hidden shame glossed over
Can discover,
And discern each deed of sin.
4 Mayest thou on life's last morrow,
Free from sorrow,
Pass away in slumber sweet;
And, released from death's dark sad-
ness,
Rise in gladness,
That far brighter sun to greet.
5 Only God's free gifts abuse not,
Light refuse not,
But his spirit's voice obey;
Thou with him shalt dwell, beholding
Light enfolding
All things in unclouded day.

Our wakening and uprising prove;
Thro' sleep and darkness safely bro't,
Restored to life and power and thought.
2 New mercies, each returning day,
Hover around us while we pray;
New perils past, new sins forgiven,
New thoughts of God, new hopes of
heaven.
3 Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,
As more of heaven in each we see:
Some softening gleam of love and
prayer
Shall dawn on every cross and care.
4 The trivial round, the common task,
Will furnish all we ought to ask :
Room to deny ourselves; a road
To bring us daily nearer God.
5 Only, O Lord, in thy dear love
Fit us for perfect rest above;
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray.
Rev. John Keble, 1792

O God, I thank thee for each sight 3 Another day in which to cast
Of beauty that thy hand doth give, — Some silent deed of love abroad,
For sunny skies and air and light : That, greatening as it journeys past,
O God, I thank thee that I live. May do some earnest work for God.
My life I consecrate to thee:
And ever, as the day is born,
On wings of joy my soul would flee
To thank thee for another morn.

Lord, may we be thine to-day!
Drive the shades of sin away.
2 Fill our souls with heavenly light,
Banish doubt, and clear our sight;
In thy service, Lord, to-day,
May we stand and watch and pray.
3 Keep our haughty passions bound ;
Save us from our foes around;
Going out and coming in,
Keep us safe from every sin.

O receive us then at last!
Night and sin will be no more,

What this day shall be my lot,
Light or darkness, know I not.
3 Should it be with clouds o'ercast,
Clouds of sorrow gathering fast,

Still let thy mercy, as of old, be near us,
And lead us safely to thy holy hill.

i Still, still with thee, when purple morning breaketh,
When the bird waketh and the shadows flee;
Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight,
Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with thee.
2 Alone with thee, amid the mystic shadows,
The solemn hush of nature newly born;
Alone with thee in breathless adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.
3 As in the dawning, o'er the waveless ocean,
The image of the morning star doth rest,
So in this stillness thou beholdest only
Thine image in the waters of my breast.
4 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber,
Its closing eye looks up to thee in prayer;
Sweet the repose beneath thy wings o'ershading,
But sweeter still to wake and find thee there.
So shall it be at last, in that bright morning
When the soul waketh and life's shadows flee:
O, in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning.
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with thee.
Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1812

i Behold, the morning sun
Begins his glorious way!
His beams through all the nations run
And life and light convey.
2 But where the gospel comes,
It spreads diviner light;
It calls dead sinners from their tombs,
And gives the blind their sight.
3 How perfect is thy word !
And all thy judgments just!
Forever sure thy promise, Lord,
And men securely trust.
MONSELL s. M. (Second Tune)
4 My gracious God, how plain
Are thy directions given!
O may I never read in vain,
But find the path to heaven!
5 I hear thy word with love,
And I fain would obey,
Send thy good spirit from above,
To guide me, lest I stray.
6 While with my heart and tongue
I spread thy praise abroad,
Accept the worship and the song,
My Saviour and my God.

i What secret hand, at morning light,
Softly unseals mine eye,
Draws back the curtain of the night,
And opens earth and sky?
2 'Tis thine, my God, the same that kept
My resting hours from harm;
Xo ill came nigh me, for I slept
Beneath the almighty's arm.
3 In death's dark valley though I stray
'Twould there my steps attend,
Guide with the staff my lonely way,
And with the rod defend.
4 May that sure hand uphold me still
Through life's uncertain race,
To bring me to thine holy hill,
And to thy dwelling-place.

i Once more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes the waking eyes!
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To him who rules the skies.
2 Day unto day his name repeats;
The night renews the sound
Thro' all the heaven on which he sits
And rolls the seasons round.
3 And we will magnify his name,
Our tongues shall speak his praise,
Whose hand sustain our mortal frame
Through all our passing days.
4 My God ! may every hour be thine,
Till all our days are past;
So shall our sun in peace decline,
And set in smiles at last.

1 Again the Lord of life and light
Awakes the kindling ray;
Unseals the eyelids of the morn,
And pours increasing day.
2 O what a night was that which wrapt
The heathen world in gloom!
O what a sun which broke this day,
Triumphant from the tomb!
3 This day be grateful homage paid,
And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in every heart,
And praise on every tongue.
4 Ten thousand differing lips shall join
To hail this welcome morn, [wings
Which scatters blessings from its
To nations yet unborn.

For the dear love that kept us through the night,
And gave our senses to sleep's gentle sway;
For the new miracle of dawning light
Flushing the east with prophecies of day,
We thank thee, O our God.
For the fresh life that through our being flows
With its full tide to strengthen and to bless;
For calm, sweet thoughts, upspringing from repose,
To bear to thee their song of thankfulness,
We praise thee, O our God.
Day uttereth speech to day, and night to night
Tells of thy power and glory. So would we,
Thy children, duly, with the morning light,
Or at still eve, upon the bended knee
Adore thee, O our God.
Thou know'st our needs, thy fullness will supply;
Our blindness, — let thy hand still lead us on,
Till, visited by the dayspring from on high,
Our prayer, one only, "Let thy will be done,"
We breathe to thee, O God.

i Another fleeting day is gone!
Slow o'er the west the shadows fly,
Swift the soft-stealing hours have flown,
And night's dark mantle veils the sky.
2 Another fleeting day is gone!
Swept from the records of the year;
And still, with every setting sun,
Life's fading visions disappear.
3 Another fleeting day is gone!
But soon a fairer shall arise; —
A day whose never-setting sun
Shall pour his light o'er cloudless
skies.
4 Another fleeting day is gone!
In solemn silence rest, my soul,
And bow before his awful throne,
Who bids the morn and evening roll.
Rev. William B. Collyer, 1782
1 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!
2 Be thou my guardian while I sleep;
Thy watchful station near me keep;
My heart with love celestial fill,
And guard me from the approach of ill.
3 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son,
For ills that I this day have done;
That with the world, myself and thee
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
4 Praise God from whom all blessings
flow:
Praise him, all creatures here below!
Praise him, ye angels round his throne !
Praise God, the high and holy one!

i Sun of my soul I thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
To hide thee from thy servant's eyes!
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought, how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour's breast I
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 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from thy boundless store;
Be every mourner's sleep to-night,
Like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
5 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.

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.
3 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.
4 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 ever-
more.

We kneel at close of day:
Look on thy children from on high,
And hear us while we pray.

So fade within our heart
The hopes in earthly love and joy

The darkness falls at thy behest, The dawn leads on another day,
To thee our morning hymns ascended, The voice of prayer is never silent,
Thy praise shall hallow now our rest. Nor dies the strain of praise away.
2 We thank thee that thy church,
unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is
keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
4 So be it, Lord; thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass
away;
But stand and rule and grow forever,
Till all thy creatures own thy sway.

God that madest earth and heaven,
Darkness and light;
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night, —
May thine angel-guards defend us,
Slumber sweet thy mercy send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This livelong night.
2 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
And, when we die,
May we in thy mighty keeping
All peaceful lie :
When the heavenly call shall wake us,
Do not thou, our God, forsake us,
But to dwell in glory take us
With thee on high.
Bishop Reginald Heber, 1783

Now we lay us down to rest;
Through the silent watches guard us,
Let no foe our peace molest;
Jesus, thou our guardian be;
Sweet it is to trust in thee.

2 Pilgrims here on earth, and strangers,
Dwelling in the midst of foes,

In thine arms may we repose,
And, when life's brief day is past,
Rest with thee in heaven at last.

Pardon each infirmity,

Work in me as silently;
Veil the day's distracting sights,
Show me heaven's eternal lights.
3 Living worlds to view be brought
In the boundless realms of thought;
High and infinite desires,
Flaming like those upper fires.

Let them break upon my sight;
Let them shine serene and still,
And with light my being fill.

Our heavy weight of mortal toil,
Our bitterness of tears.

Who have been with us here;
And in our secret heart we name
The distant and the dear.
We bring to thee our hopes and fears,
And at thy footstool lay;

Wilt hear us as we pray.

With one accord our parting hymn of praise;

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.

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!

Thus far his power prolongs my days;
And every evening shall make known
Some fresh memorial of his grace.
2 Much of my time has run to waste,
And I, perhaps, am near my home;
But he forgives my follies past,
And gives me strength for days to
come.
3 I lay my body down to sleep;
Peace is the pillow for my head ;
While well-appointed angels keep
Their watchful stations round my
bed.
4 Faith in his name forbids my fear:
O may thy presence ne'er depart!
And in the morning make me hear
The love and kindness of thy heart.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674

We gather in these hallowed walls;
And vesper hymn and vesper prayer
Rise mingling on the holy air.

Here find the rest of God's own peace;
And, strengthened here by hymn and
prayer,
Lay down the burden and the care !
3 O God, our light! to thee we bow;
Within all shadows standest thou:
Give deeper calm than night can bring;
Give sweeter songs than lips can sing.

We cannot at the shrine remain;
But in the spirit's secret cell
May hymn and prayer forever dwell.

i Father! breathe an evening blessing,
Ere repose our spirits seal ;
Sin and want we come confessing,
Thou canst save, and thou canst heal.
2 Though destruction walk around us,
Though the arrow past us fly,
Angel-guards from thee surround us;
We are safe, if thou art nigh.
3 Though the night be dark and dreary,
Darkness cannot hide from thee;
Thou art he, who, never weary,
Watchest where thy people be.
4 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.

Brings the night its peace profound
Let our vesper hymn be blending
With the holy calm around.

Stars of heaven shine out above,
Telling still the ancient story, —
Their creator's changeless love.
3 Now, our wants and burdens leaving
To his care who cares for all,
Cease we fearing, cease we grieving;
At his touch our burdens fall.
4 As the darkness deepens o'er us,
Lo ! eternal stars arise ;
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
Shining in the spirit's skies.

And spent too soon her golden store;
The shadows of departing day
Creep on once more.

Its glorious noon, how quickly past!
Lead us, O Christ, our life-work done,
Safe home at last.
3 O by thy soul-inspiring grace
Uplift our hearts to realms on high:
Help us to look to that bright place
Beyond the sky,
4 Where light, and life, and joy, and
In undivided empire reign, [ peace

Tarry with me, O my Saviour! 4 Let me hear thy voice behind me,
For the day is passing by; Calming all these wild alarms;
See! the shades of evening gather, Let me, underneath my weakness,
And the night is drawing nigh.
Deeper, deeper grow the shadows,
Paler now the glowing west,
Swift the night of death advances:
Shall it be the night bf rest ?
Lonely seems the vale of shadow;
Sinks my heart with troubled fear;
Give me faith for clearer vision,
Speak thou, Lord, in words of cheer.
Feel the everlasting arms.
5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying,
Lord, I cast myself on thee;
Tarry with me through the darkness;
While I sleep, still watch by me.
6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour!
Lay my head upon thy breast
Till the morning; then awake me!
Morning of eternal rest.

i Abide with me! fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide:
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me!
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see:
0 thou who changest not, abide with me!
3 I need thy presence every passing hour:
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me!
4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless:
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness:
Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory?
1 triumph still, if thou abide with me!
5 Hold thou the cross before my closing eyes!
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies!
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee:
In life and death, O Lord, abide with me!

i O it is hard to work for God,
To rise and take his part
Upon this battle-field of earth,
And not sometimes lose heart!
2 He hides himself so wondrously,
As though there were no God;
He is least seen when all the powers
Of ill are most abroad.
3 Muse on his justice, downcast soul!
Muse, and take better heart;
Back with thine angel to the field,
And bravely do thy part.
4 God's glory is a wondrous thing,
Most strange in all its ways;
And, of all things on earth, least like
What men agree to praise.
5 Thrice blest is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie,
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man's blindfold eye.
6 For right is right, since God is God
And right the day must win;
To doubt would be disloyalty,
To falter would be sin.
Rev. Frederick W. Faber, 1814
306
i I want a principle within
Of jealous, godly fear;
A sensibility to sin,
A pain to find it near.
2 I want the first approach to feel
Of pride, or fond desire;
To catch the wandering of my will,
And quench the kindling fire.
3 From thee that I no more may part,
No more thy goodness grieve,
The filial awe, the fleshly heart,
The tender conscience give.
4 Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.

O Lord, our strength in weakness,
We pray to thee for grace;
For power to fight the battle,
For speed to run the race ;
When thy baptismal waters
Were poured upon our brow,
We then were made thy children,
And pledged our earliest vow.
We then were sealed and hallowed
By thy life-giving word ;
Were made the spirit's temples,
And members of the Lord ;
With his own blood he bought us,
And made the purchase sure;
His are we : may he keep us
Sober, and chaste, and pure.
3 Conformed to his own likeness
May we so live and die,
That in the grave our bodies
In holy peace may lie;
And at the resurrection
Forth from those graves may spring,
Like to the glorious body
Of Christ, our Lord and King.
4 The pure in heart are blessed,
For they shall see the Lord
Forever and forever
By seraphim adored;
And they shall drink the pleasures,
Such as no tongue can tell,
From the clear crystal river,
And life's eternal well.

Thy joy to do the Father's will;
It is the way the Master went ;
Should not the servant tread it still ?

Thine earthly loss is heavenly gain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee

3 Go, labor on! enough, while here,
If he shall praise thee, if he deign
The willing heart to mark and cheer:
No toil for him shall be in vain.
4 Go, labor on, while it is day!

Speed, speed thy work! cast sloth

Compel the wanderer to come in !

Soon shalt thou hear the bridegroom's

Rev. Horatius Bonar, 1808

Press on, press on! ye sons of light,
Untiring in your holy fight,
Still treading each temptation down,
And battling for a brighter crown.
Press on, press on! through toil and
woe,
With calm resolve, to triumph go;
And make each dark and threatening
ill
Yield but a higher glory still.
Press on, press on! still look in faith
To him who conquereth sin and death;
Then shall ye hear his word, "Well
done."
True to the last, press on, press on!

O for a closer walk with God,
A calm and heavenly frame,
A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
2 What peaceful hours I once enjoyed !
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
3 Return, O holy Dove, return,
Sweet messenger of rest;
I hate the sins that made thee mourn,
And drove thee from my breast.
4 The dearest idol I have known,
Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from thy throne,
And worship only thee.
5 So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame ;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb.
William Cowper, 1731
311
i Make channels for the streams of love,
Where they may broadly run;
And love has overflowing streams
To fill them, every one.
2 But if at any time we cease
Such channels to provide,
The very founts of love for us
Will soon be parched and dried.
3 For we must share, if we would keep
That blessing from above:
Ceasing to give, we cease to have, —
Such is the law of love.

i O life that maketh all things new, —
The blooming earth, the thoughts of
men!
Our pilgrim feet, wet with thy dew,
In gladness hither turn again.
2 From hand to hand the greeting flows,
From eye to eye the signals run,
From heart to heart the bright hope
glows;
The seekers of the light are one.
3 One in the freedom of the truth,
One in the joy of paths untrod,
One in the soul's perennial youth,
One in the larger thought of God; —
4 The freer step, the fuller breath,
The wide horizon's grander view,
The sense of life that knows no death, —
The life that maketh all things new.
Rev. Samuel Longfellow, 1819

i Go forth to life, O child of earth!
Still mindful of thy heavenly birth:
Thou art not here for ease, or sin,
But manhood's noble crown to win.
2 Though passion's fires are in thy soul,
Thy spirit can their flames control;
Though tempters strong beset thy way,
Thy spirit is more strong than they.
3 Go on from innocence of youth
To manly pureness, manly truth :
God's angels still are near to save,
And God himself doth help the brave.
4 Then forth to life, O child of earth!
Be worthy of thy heavenly birth!
For noble service thou art here;
Thy brothers help, thy God revere!

i Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise;
Exalt thy towering head, and lift thine eyes;
See heaven its sparkling portals wide display,
And break upon thee in a flood of day!
2 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn!
See future sons and daughters, yet unborn,
In crowding ranks on every side arise,
Demanding life, impatient for the skies!
3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend,
Walk in thy light, and in thy temple bend !
See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings,
While every land its joyous tribute brings!
4 The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay,
Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away:
But fixed his word; his saving power remains;
Thy realm shall last, thy own Messiah reigns.

1 I cannot find thee. Still on restless pinion
My spirit beats the void where thou dost dwell;
I wander lost through all thy vast dominion,
And shrink beneath thy light ineffable.
2 I cannot find thee. E'en when, most adoring,
Before thy shrine I bend in lowliest prayer;
Beyond these bounds of thought, my thought upsoaring,
From furthest quest comes back : thou art not there.
3 Yet high above the limits of my seeing,
And folded far within the inmost heart,
And deep below the deeps of conscious being,
Thy splendor shineth: there, O God! thou art.
4 I cannot lose thee. Still in thee abiding,
The end is clear, how wide soe'er I roam;
The law that holds the worlds my steps is guiding,
And I must rest at last in thee, my home.

i Ancient of days, who sittest, thron'd in glory:
To thee all knees are bent, all voices pray;
Thy love has bless'd the wide world's wondrous story,
With light and life since Eden's dawning day.
2 O holy Father, who hast led thy children
In all the ages, with the fire and cloud,
Through seas dry-shod; through weary wastes bewildering:
To thee, in reverent love, our hearts are bowed.
3 O holy Jesus, Prince of peace and Saviour,
To thee we owe the peace that still prevails,
Stilling the rude wills of men's wild behaviour,
And calming passion's fierce and stormy gales.

t The perfect way is hard to flesh;
It is not hard to love ;
If thou wert sick for want of God
How swiftly wouldst thou move!
j Good is the cloister's silent shade,
Cold watch and pining fast;
Better the mission's wearing strife,
If there thy lot be cast.
; Press forward to the perfect mind;
Keep thy heart calm all day,
ROCKINGHAM L. M. (Hymn 319)
And catch the words the spirit there
From hour to hour may say.
4 Tis not enough to save the soul,
To shun the eternal fires;
The tho't of God must rouse the soul
To more sublime desires.
5 Be docile to thine unseen guide,
Love him as he loves thee;
Time and obedience are enough,
And thou a saint shalt be.

Shine upon this heart of mine;
Chase the shades of night away;
Turn the darkness into day.
2 Holy spirit, power divine,
Cleanse this guilty heart of mine
Long has sin, without control,
Held dominion o'er my soul.
3 Holy spirit, love divine,
Glow within this heart of mine;
Kindle every high desire,
Cleanse my soul in thy pure fire.
4 Holy spirit, peace divine,
Still this restless heart of mine:
Speak to calm the tossing sea,
Stayed in thy tranquillity.
5 Holy spirit, joy divine,
Cheer this saddened heart of mine;
Bid my troubled thoughts be still,
With thy peace my spirit fill.
6 Holy spirit, all divine,
Dwell within this heart of mine :
Cast down every idol-throne;
Reign supreme, and reign alone.

Tune, ROCKINGHAM ( See opposite page )
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died.
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
191
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet ?
Or thorns compose so rich a crown ?
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a tribute far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

But that thy love is seeking me,
And that thou bid'st me come to thee,
O loving God ! I come, I come.
2 Just as I am, — and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To thee whose love can cleanse each

i As body when the soul has fled,
As barren trees, decayed and dead,
Is faith; a hopeless, lifeless thing,
If not of righteous deeds the spring.
2 One cup of healing oil and wine,
One tear-drop shed on mercy's shrine,
Is thrice more grateful, Lord, to thee,
Than lifted eye or bended knee.
3 In true and genuine faith, we trace
The source of every Christian grace:
Within the pious heart it plays,
A living fount of joy and praise.
4 Kind deeds of peace and love betray
Where'er the stream has found its way;
But where these spring not rich and
fair,
The stream has never wandered there.

1 O Jesus, thou art standing
Outside the fast-closed door,
In lowly patience waiting
To pass the threshold o'er:
Shame on us, Christian brothers,
His name and sign who bear;
O shame, thrice shame upon us,
To keep him standing there!
2 O Jesus, thou art knocking:
And lo! that hand is scarred,
And thorns thy brow encircle,
And tears thy face have marred
O love that passeth knowledge,
So patiently to wait!
O sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate.
3 O Jesus, thou art pleading
In accents meek and low,
"I died for you, my children,
And will ye treat me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
We open now the door:
Dear Saviour, enter, enter,
And leave us nevermore.

1 Jerusalem the golden!
With milk and honey blest;
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest.
I know not, O I know not,
What joys await us there !
What radiancy of glory!
What bliss beyond compare!
Jerusalem the golden!
With milk and honey blest;
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and soul opprest.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
Jerusalem the golden, etc.
3 There is the throne of David ;
And there, from care released
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast.
And they, who with their leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
Jerusalem the golden, etc.
4 The world is very evil,
The times are waxing late.
Be sober and keep vigil,
The Judge is at the gate;
The Judge who comes in mercy,
The Judge who comes with might,
To terminate the evil,
To diadem the right.
Jerusalem the golden, etc.
5 Arise, arise, good Christian,
Let right the wrong succeed ;
Let penitential sorrow
To heavenly gladness lead:
To the home of fadeless splendor,
Of flowers that bear no thorn,
Where they shall dwell as children,
Who here as exiles mourn;
Jerusalem the golden, etc.
6 'Mid power that knows no limit,
And wisdom free from bound,
Where rests a peace untroubled,
Peace holy and profound.
O happy, holy portion,
Refection for the blest,
True vision of true beauty,
Sweet cure for all distress!
Jerusalem the golden, etc.
7 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean!
Thou hast no time, bright day!
Dear fountain of refreshment
To pilgrims far away!
Strive, man, to win that glory;
Toil, man, to gain that light;
Send hope before to grasp it,
Till hope be lost in sight.
Jerusalem the golden, etc.
8 O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest!
Who art with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest.
Jerusalem the golden!
With milk and honey blest;
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest.

With milk and honey blest;
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest.
I know not, O I know not,
What joys await us there!
What radiancy of glory!
What bliss beyond compare!
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.

3 There is the throne of David ;
And there, from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast.
And they, who with their leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest !
Who art with God the Father,

1 A voice from the desert comes awful and shrill:
The Lord is advancing; prepare ye the way!
The word of his promise he comes to fulfil,
And o'er the dark world pour the splendor of day.
2 Bring down the proud mountain, though towering to heaven,
And be the low valley exalted on high;
The rough path and crooked be made smooth and even,
He cometh! our King, our Redeemer is nigh.
3 The beams of salvation his progress illume,
The lone, dreary wilderness sings of her God;
The rose and the myrtle there suddenly bloom,
And the olive of peace spreads its branches abroad.

i I'm but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is my home.
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on ev'ry hand,
Heaven is my fatherland,
Heaven is my home.
2 What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home.
Time's wild and wintry blast
Soon will be over-past;
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.
3 Therefore I murmur not,
Heaven is my home;
Whate'er my earthly lot,
Heaven is my home.
And I shall surely stand
There at my Lord's right hand;
Heaven is my fatherland
Heaven is my home.

One by one the moments fall :
Some are coming, some are going;
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee;
Let thy whole strength go to each:
Let no future dreams elate thee ;
Learn thou first what these can

2 One by one, bright gifts from heaven,
Joys are lent thee here below :
Take them readily when given;
Ready, too, to let them go.

Do not fear an armed band :

Has its task to do or bear:
Luminous the crown and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
One by one thy duties wait thee;
Let thy whole strength go to each;
Let no future dreams elate thee;
Learn thou first what these can

i 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.
2 Elect 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.
Though with a scornful wonder
Men see her sore opprest,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distrest;
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 for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest.

1 The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar;
Who follows in his train?
Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain;
Who patient, bears his cross below,
He follows in his train.
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 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!

Not only for some task sublime
Thy help do I implore;
Not only at some solemn time
Thy holy spirit pour !
But for each daily task of mine
I need thy quickening power ;
I need thy presence everywhere,
I need thee every hour.
Each action finds in thee its spring,
Each joy thy love makes bright,
Each footstep is thine ordering,
Each grief shines in thy light.
Thomas H. Gill, 1810

i O thou who hast thy servants taught,
That not by words alone,
But by the fruits of holiness,
The life of God is shown, —
2 While in the house of prayer we meet,
And call thee God and Lord,
Give us a heart to follow thee,
Obedient to thy word.
3 When we our voices lift in praise,
Give thou us grace to bring
An offering of unfeigned thanks,
And with the spirit sing.
4 And, in the dangerous path of life,
Uphold us as we go ;
That with our lips and in our lives
Thy glory we may show.

Has not for thee a home.

1 Who are these in bright array,
This innumerable throng,
Round the altar, night and day,
Tuning their triumphant song?
" Worthy is the Lamb, once slain,
Blessing, honor, glory, power,
Wisdom, riches to obtain,
New dominion every hour."
a These through fiery trials trod ;
These from great affliction came;
Now before the throne of God,
Sealed with his eternal name;
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor palms in every hand,
Through their great Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed;
Them the Lamb amidst the throne,
Shall to living fountains lead:
Joy and gladness banish sighs;
Perfect love dispels their fears;
And for ever from their eyes
God shall wipe away their tears.

Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast.
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.

Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I am this dark world's light;
Look unto me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright.
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk
Till travelling days are done.

Crown him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon his throne;
Hark! how the heavenly 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
Thro' all eternity.
Crown him the Son of God
Before the worlds began,
And ye, who tread where he hath trod,
Crown him the son of man;
Who every grief hath known
That wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for his own,
That all in him may rest.
Crown him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And 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.

i Ye golden lamps of heaven! farewell,
With all your feeble light:
Farewell, thou ever-changing moon,
Pale empress of the night!
2 And thou, refulgent orb of day!
In brighter flames arrayed,
My soul, which springs beyond thy
sphere,
No more demands thine aid.
3 Ye stars are but the shining dust
Of my divine abode,
The pavement of these heavenly courts
Where I shall reign with God.
4 The father of eternal light
Shall there his beams display;
Nor shall one moment's darkness mix
With that unvaried day.
5 No more the drops of piercing grief
Shall swell into mine eyes;
Nor the meridian sun decline,
Amid those brighter skies.
6 There all the millions of his saints
Shall in one song unite;
And each the bliss of all shall view
With infinite delight.
Rev. Philip Doddridge, 170a
Hymn 335, continued
Crown him of lords the Lord,
Who over all doth reign,
Who once on earth, th' incarnate
word,
For ransomed sinners slain,
Now lives in realms of light,
Where saints with angels sing
Their songs before him day and night,
Their God, Redeemer, King.
Crown him the Lord of heaven,
Enthroned in worlds above;
Crown him the King, to whom is given,
The wondrous name of love.
Crown him with many crowns,
As thrones before him fall,
Crown him, ye kings, with many
crowns,
For he is King of all.

1 Lord, with glowing heart I'll praise
thee,
For the bliss thy love bestows,
For the pardoning grace that saves me,
And the peace that from it flows;
Help, O God, my weak endeavour;
This dull soul to rapture raise:
Thou must light the flame, or never
Can my love be warmed to praise.
2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought
thee,
Wretched wanderer, far astray;
Found thee lost, and kindly brought
thee
209
From the paths of death away;
Praise, with love's devoutest feeling,
Him, who saw thy guilt-born fear,
And, the light of hope revealing,
Bade the blood-stained cross appear.
Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling
Vainly would my lips express:
Low before thy footstool kneeling,
Deign thy suppliant's prayer to bless:
Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure,
Love's pure flame within me raise:
And, since words can never measure,
Let my life show forth thy praise.

1 Pleasant are thy courts above,
In the land of light and love;
Pleasant are thy courts below,
In this land of joy and woe.
O my spirit longs and faints
For the converse of thy saints,
For the brightness of thy face,
King of glory, God of grace!
2 Happy birds that sing and fly
Round thine altars, O most high!
Happier souls that find a rest
In a heavenly Father's breast!
Like the wandering dove that found
No repose on earth around,
They can to their ark repair,
And enjoy it ever there.
Happy souls! their praises flow
Even in the vale of woe:
Waters in the desert rise;
Manna feeds them from the skies:
On they go from strength to strength
Till they reach thy throne at length,
At thy feet adoring fall
Who .hast led them safe through all.

Journeying toward the better land ;
Foes we know are to be met,
Snares the pilgrim's path beset;
Clouds upon the valley rest,
Rough and dark the mountain's breast;
And our home may not be gained,
Save through trials well sustained.
2 God of mercy! on thee, all
Humbly for thy guidance call;
Save us from the evil tongue,
From the heart that thinketh wrong,
From the sins, whate'er they be,
That divide the soul from thee.
God of grace! on thee we rest;
Bless us, and we shall be blest.

Not a look behind.
Burns the fiery pillar
At our army's head :
Who shall dream of shrinking,
By our captain led ?
Forward, out of error,
Leave behind the night;
Forward through the darkness,
Forward into light!
Glories upon glories
Hath our God prepared,
By the souls that love him
One day to be shared.
Eye hath not beheld them,
Ear hath never heard ;
Nor of these hath uttered
Thought or speech a word.

Where the heaven is bright,
Till the veil be lifted,
Till our faith be sight!
Far o'er yon horizon
Rise the city towers,
Where our God abideth:
That fair home is ours.
Flash the streets with jasper,
Shine the gates with gold;
Flows the gladdening river
Shedding joys untold.

i For all thy saints, O God,
Who strove in thee to live,
Who followed thee, obeyed, adored,
Our grateful hymn receive.
2 For all thy saints, O God,
Accept our thankful cry,
Who counted thee their great reward,
And yearned for thee to die.
3 They all, in life and death,
With thee, Lord, in their view,
Learned from thy holy spirit's breath
To suffer and to do.
4 For this thy name we bless,
And humbly pray that we
May follow them in holiness,
And live and die in thee.
Bishop Richard Mant, 1776
343
1 Blest are the pure in heart,
For they shall see our God ;
The secret of the Lord is theirs;
Their soul is his abode.
2 Still to the lowly soul
God doth himself impart,
And for his dwelling and his throne
Doth choose the pure in heart.
Lord, we thy presence seek;
May ours this blessing be:
Give us a pure and lowly heart,
A temple meet for thee.
Rev. John Keble, 179a
344
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky;
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfil :
O may it all my powers engage
To do my Master's will.
Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live;
And O, thy servant, Lord, prepare,
A strict account to give !
Help me to watch and pray,
And on thyself rely,
Assured if I my trust betray,
I shall forsaken die.

All men are equal in their birth,
Heirs of the earth and skies;
All men are equal when that earth
Fades from their dying eyes.
God meets the throngs who pay their
vows
In courts that hands have made,
And hears the worshipper who bows
Beneath the plantain shade.
'Tis man alone who difference sees,
And speaks of high and low;
NOX PRECESSIT c. M.
And worships those, and tramples these,
While the same path they go.
O let man hasten to restore
To all their rights of love;
In power and wealth exult no more;
In wisdom lowly move!
Ye great, renounce your earth-born
pride;
Ye low, your shame and fear:
Live, as ye worship, side by side;
Your brotherhood revere.

Salvation! O the joyful sound,
'Tis pleasure to our ears,
A sov'reign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.

2 Salvation! let the echo fly
The spacious earth around,
While all the armies of the sky
Conspire to raise the sound.

i The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great original proclaim.
2 The unwearied sun, from day to day,
Doth his creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an almighty hand.
3 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale,
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth;
4 Whilst all the stars that round her
burn,
And all the planets, in their turn,
Confirm the tidings, as they roll,
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
5 What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball!
What though no real voice nor sound
Amidst their radiant orbs be found! —
214
6 In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice;
Forever singing, as they shine,
" The hand that made us is divine."
Joseph Addison, 1672
348
1 Father, to thy kind love we owe
All that is fair and good below;
Bestower of the health that lies
On tearless cheeks and cheerful eyes!
2 Giver of sunshine and of rain !
Ripener of fruits on hill and plain!
Fountain of light, that, rayed afar,
Fills the vast urns of sun and star!
3 Yet deem we not that thus alone
Thy bounty and thy love are shown ;
For we have learned, with higher
praise
And holier names, to speak thy ways.
4 In woe's dark hour, our kindest stay;
Sole trust when life shall pass away;
Listening to prayer, and reconciled
Full quickly to thy erring child.

1 Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee!
Let the water and the blood, -
From thy side, a healing flood,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
2 Should my tears for ever flow,
Should my zeal no langour know,
All for sin could not atone,
REDHEAD 7. 61. (Second Tune)

Thou must save, and thou alone;
In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling.
3 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold thee on thy throne,
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.

O mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end ?
Thy joys when shall I see ?
O happy harbor of God's saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow can be found,
Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.
No murky cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun ;
For God himself gives light.
O my sweet home, Jerusalem,
Thy joys when shall I see ?
The King that sitteth on thy throne
In his felicity ?
216
Thy gardens and thy goodly walks
Continually are green, [flowers
Where grow such sweet and pleasant
As nowhere else are seen. [sound,
Right through thy streets, with silver
The living waters flow.
And on the banks, on either side,
The trees of life do grow.
Those trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring:
There evermore the angels are,
And evermore do sing.
Jerusalem, my happy home.
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see!

Lord and Father, great and holy!
Fearing nought, we come to thee;
Fearing nought, tho' weak and lowly,
For thy love has made us free.
By the blue sky bending o'er us,
By the green earth's flowery zone,
Teach us, Lord, the angel chorus,
"Thou art love, and love alone!"
Tho' the worlds in flame should perish,
Suns and stars in ruin fall,
Trust in thee our hearts should cherish,
Thou to us be all in all.
And tho' heavens thy name are praising,
Seraphs hymn no sweeter tone
Than the strain our hearts are raising,
"Thou art love, and love alone!"
Archdeacon Frederick W. Farrar, 1831

i Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God:
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for his own abode.
On the rock of ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose ?
With salvation's wall surrounded
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2 See ! the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage ? —
Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver,
Never fails from age to age.

Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light:
'Tis finished! all is finished.
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
218
O day for which creation
And all its tribes were made I
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand-fold repaid !
O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore !
What knitting severed friendships up,
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.

I heard a sound of voices
Around the great white throne,
With harpers harping on their harps
To him that sat thereon:
"Salvation, glory, honor!"
I heard the song arise,
As through the courts of heaven it
rolled
In wondrous harmonies.
2 From every clime and kindred,
And nations from afar,
As serried ranks returning home
In triumph from a war,
I heard the saints upraising,
The myriad hosts among,
In praise of him who died and lives,
Their one glad triumph-song.
And there no sun was needed,
Nor moon to shine by night;
God's glory did enlighten all,
The Lamb himself, the light;
And there his servants serve him,
And, life's long battle o'er,
Enthroned with him, their Saviour,
King,
They reign for evermore.

i Calm, on the listening ear of night,
Come heaven's melodious strains,
Where wild Judaea stretches far
Her silver-mantled plains.
4 O'er the blue depths of Galilee,
There comes a holier calm;
And Sharon waves, in solemn praise,
Her silent groves of palm.
2 Celestial choirs, from courts above, 5 "Glory to God," the sounding skies
Shed sacred glories there; Loud with their anthems ring;
And angels, with their sparkling lyres, " Peace to the earth, good-will to men,
Make music on the air. From heaven's eternal King!"
3 The answering hills of Palestine
Send back the glad reply;
And greet, from all their holy heights,
The day-spring from on high.

O little town of Bethlehem!
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light:
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
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!
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!

What its signs of promise are;
Traveller, o'er yon mountain's height,
See that glory-beaming star!
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of hope or joy foretell ?
Traveller, yes; it brings the day, —
Promised day of Israel.
2 Watchman, tell us of the night:
Higher yet that star ascends.
Traveller, blessedness and light,
Peace and truth, its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth ?
Traveller, ages are its own:
See! it bursts o'er all the earth.
Watchman, tell us of the night;
For the morning seems to dawn.
Traveller, darkness takes its flight,
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, let thy wanderings cease:
Hie thee to thy quiet home.
Traveller, lo! the Prince of peace,
Lo! the Son of God, is come.

While shepherds watched their flocks
by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
" Fear not," said he — for mighty
dread 3
Had seized their troubled mind —
" Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind.
"To you, in David's town, this day
Is born, of David's line,
The Saviour, who is Christ the Lord;
And this shall be the sign:
228
The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."
Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, and thus
Addressed their joyful song:
" All glory be to God on high
And to the earth be peace!
Good will henceforth, from heaven to
men,
Begin and never cease!"

i 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;
Songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens and earth;
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.
4 And shall man alone be dumb,
Till that glorious kingdom come ?
No ! his heart delights to raise
Psalms and hymns and songs of praise.
5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.
Borne upon the latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,
Songs of praise our powers employ.
James Montgomery, 1771
365
Sons of men, behold from far,
Hail the long expected star! —
Star of truth that gilds the night,
Guides bewildered men aright.
Mild it shines on all beneath,
Piercing through the shades of death,
Scattering error's wide-spread night,
Kindling darkness into light.
Nations all, remote and near,
Haste to see your Lord appear;
Haste: for him your hearts prepare,
Meet him manifested there.
There behold the day-spring rise,
Pouring light on mortal eyes;
See it chase the shades away,
Shining to the perfect day,
Rev. Charles Wesley, 1708

And on the eyes oppressed with night
To pour celestial day.
4 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
The bleeding soul to cure :
And with the treasures of his grace
To enrich the humble poor.
5 Our glad hosannas, Prince of peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim;
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved name.

1 Hark! the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
The Saviour promised long:
Let every heart prepare a throne,
And every voice a song.
2 He comes, the prisoners to release,
In Satan's bondage held:
The gates of brass before him burst,
The iron fetters yield.
3 He comes, from thickest films of vice
To clear the mental ray,

Tune, NOX PRECESSIT ( See opposite page )
High let us swell our tuneful notes,
And join the angelic throng,
For angels no such love have known
To wake a cheerful song.
Justice and peace, with sweet accord
His rising beams adorn;
Let heav'n and earth in concert join,
To us a child is born!
3 Glory to God in highest strains
In highest worlds be paid,
His glory by our lips proclaimed,
And by our lives displayed.
4 When shall we reach those blissful realms
Where Christ exalted reigns,
And learn of the celestial choir
Their own immortal strains!

That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold :
"Peace on the earth, good-will to men,
From heaven's all-gracious King."

To hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,

Whose forms are bending low,
Who toil along the climbing way,

Look now ; for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing:

And hear the angels sing!
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.

1 Christ the Lord is risen to-day,
Sons of men and angels say:
Raise your joys and triumphs high;
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.
2 Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the fight, the victory won:
Jesus' agony is o'er,
Darkness veils the earth no more.
3 Soar we now where Christ hath led,
Following our exalted Head ;
Made like him, like him we rise, —
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Rev. Charles Wesley, 1708
374
1 Morning breaks upon the tomb,
Jesus dissipates its gloom;
Day of triumph through the skies,
See the glorious Saviour rise!
2 Christians, dry your flowing tears;
Chase those unbelieving fears;
Look on his deserted grave;
Doubt no more his power to save.
3 Ye who are of death afraid,
Triumph in the scattered shade;
Drive your anxious fears away:
See the place where Jesus lay!
4 So the rising sun appears,
Shedding radiance o'er the spheres;
So returning beams of light
Chase the terrors of the night.
Rev. William B. Collyer, 178a
375
i Angel, roll the rock away;
Death, yield up thy mighty prey:
See! he rises from the tomb,
Glowing in immortal bloom.
2 Powers of heaven, seraphic fires,
Sing, and sweep your sounding lyres;
Sons of men, in humble strain,
Sing your mighty Saviour's reign.
3 Every note with wonder swell,
And the Saviour's triumph tell:
Where, O death! is now thy sting?
Where thy terrors, vanquished king?
Rev. Thomas Scott, 1705

i Ye humble souls that seek the Lord,
Chase all your fears away;
And bow with reverence down, to see
The place where Jesus lay.
2 Thus low the Lord of life was brought;
Such wonders love can do!
Thus cold in death that bosom lay
Which throbbed and bled for you.
3 But dry your tears and tune your songs,
The Saviour lives again;
Not all the bolts and bars of death
The conqueror could detain.
4 With joy like his, shall every saint
His empty tomb survey;
Then rise with his ascending Lord,
Through all his shining way.
Rev. Philip Doddridge, 1702
377
1 Sing we the song of those who stand
Around the eternal throne,
Of every kindred, clime, and land, —
A multitude unknown.
2 Life's poor distinctions vanish here:
To-day the young, the old,
Our Saviour and his flock appear, —
One shepherd and one fold.
3 Toil, trial, suffering, still await
On earth the pilgrim's throng;
Yet learn we, in our low estate,
The church-triumphant's song.
4 Now alleluia, power and praise,
To God in Christ be given,
By all who tread these earthly ways,
And all the blest in heaven.

Yonder glorious morning ray,
Breaking o'er the purple east,
Symbol of our Easter feast.
He is risen ! he is risen !
He has opened heaven's gate!
We are free from sin's dark prison!
Risen to a holier state;
And a brighter Easter beam
On our longing eyes shall stream.

Chant our Lord's triumphant lay;
Not one darksome cloud is dimming

1 On the resurrection morning,
Soul and body meet again;
No more sorrow, no more weeping,
No more pain!
2 Here awhile they must be parted,
And the flesh its sabbath keep,
Waiting in a holy stillness,
Wrapt in sleep.
5 Soul and body reunited,
Thenceforth nothing shall divide,
Waking up in Christ's own likeness,
Satisfied.
6 O the beauty,
O the gladness
Of that resurrection-day!
Which shall not, through endless ages,
Pass awav!
3 For a space the tired body 7 On that happy Easter morning
Lies with feet toward the dawn, All the graves their dead restore;
Till there breaks the last and brightest Father, sister, child and mother,
Easter morn. Meet once more.
4 But the soul in contemplation
Utters earnest prayer and strong;
Breaking at the resurrection
Into song.
8 To that brightest of all meetings
Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last,
To thy cross, thro' death and judgment,
Holding fast.

i The day of resurrection,
Earth, tell it out abroad:
The passover of gladness,
The passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
From earth unto the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over,
With hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection-light;
And, listening to his accents,
May hear, so calm and plain,
His own "All hail!" and, hearing,
May raise the victor-strain.
Now let the heavens be joyful,
Let earth her song begin;
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Invisible and visible,
Their notes let all things blend;
For Christ the Lord hath risen,
Our joy that hath no end.

ST. SAVIOUR c. M. ( Hymn 385 )
3 The Lord is risen indeed ;
Attending angels, hear!
Up to the courts of heaven with speed
The joyful tidings bear.
4 Then take your golden lyres,
And strike each cheerful chord!
Join, all ye bright celestial choirs,
To sing our risen Lord.

i Lift up, lift up your voices now!
The whole wide world rejoices now!
The Lord hath triumphed gloriously!
The Lord shall reign victoriously!
2 In vain with stone the cave they barred ;
In vain the watch kept ward and
guard;
Majestic from the spoiled tomb,
In pomp of triumph Christ is come!
3 He binds in chains the ancient foe;
A countless host he frees from woe,
m1^
And heaven's high portal open flies,
For Christ has risen, and man shall
rise.
And all he did, and all he bare,
He gives us as our own to share;
And hope and joy and peace begin,
For Christ has won, and man shall win.
O victor, aid us in the fight, [light;
And lead through death to realms of
We safely pass where thou hast trod;
In thee we die to rise to God.

Like light around them shed,
Still speak the prophets of the Lord,
Still live the sainted dead. 4

Yet floats upon the air;
We hear it in beatitude,
In parable, and prayer. 5

And burden of to-day.
Earnest of life forevermore,

Looked forth and knew no fear!
Spirit of Jesus, still speed on!
Speed on thy conquering way
Till every heart the Father own,
And all his will obey!

When our bitter tears o'erflow;
When we mourn the lost, the dear,
Gracious God of Jesus! hear.
2 He our throbbing flesh hath worn,
He our mortal griefs hath borne,
He hath shed the human tear;
Heir of Jesus! hush thy fear.
3 When the sullen death-bell tolls
For our own departed souls;
When our final doom is near,
Gracious God of Jesus! hear.
4 He hath bowed the dying head;
He the blood of life hath shed;
He hath rilled a mortal bier:
Heir of Jesus! hush thy fear.
5 When the heart is sad within
With the thought of all its sin;
When the spirit shrinks with fear;
Gracious God of Jesus! hear.
6 He the spirit's strife hath known,
He the spirit's victory won;
He hath now no grief to bear;
Heir of Jesus! hush thy fear.

i Mighty God, the first, the last,
What are ages in thy sight
But as yesterday when past,
Or a watch within the night?
2 All that being ever knew,
Down, far down, ere time had birth,
Stands as clear within thy view
As the present things of earth.
3 In thine all-embracing sight
Every change its purpose meets,
Every cloud floats into light,
Every woe its glory greets.
4 Whatsoe'er our lot may be,
Calmly in this thought we'll rest, —
Could we see as thou dost see,
We should choose it as the best.

i As pants the hart for cooling streams,
When heated in the chase,
So longs my heart, O God, for thee
And thy refreshing grace.
2 For thee, my God, the living God,
My thirsty soul doth pine;
O when shall I behold thy face,
Thou majesty divine ?
3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Trust God, who will employ
His aid for thee, and change these sighs
To thankful hymns of joy.
4 God of my strength, how long shall I,
Like one forgotten, mourn,
Forlorn, forsaken, and exposed
To my oppressors ' scorn ?
My heart is pierced as with a sword,
While thus my foes upbraid :
" Vain boaster, where is now thy God ?
And where his promised aid?"
Why restless, why cast down, my soul?
Hope still; and thou shalt sing
The praise of him who is thy God,
Thy health's eternal spring.
Tate and Brady, 1652

O could our thoughts and wishes fly
Above earth's gloomy shades,
To those bright worlds beyond the sky,
Which sorrow ne'er invades!
There joys, unseen by mortal eyes
Or reason's feeble ray,
In ever-blooming prospect rise,
Unconscious of decay.
Lord, send a beam of light divine,
To guide our upward aim;
With one reviving ray of thine
Our languid hearts inflame.
Then shall, on faith's sublimest wing,
Our ardent wishes rise,
To those bright scenes, where pleas-
ures spring
Immortal in the skies.

And patient hope is crowned,
And everlasting light
Its glory throws around.
LYTE S. M. ( Hymn 392 )

The path your Saviour trod
Of daily toil and woe;

In uncomplaining love,

Shall welcome you above.

3 Beyond this vale of tears,
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years;
And all that life is love.

The life of perfect love, the rest
Of immortality.

i O where shall rest be found, —
Rest for the weary soul ?
'Twere vain the ocean-depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.

The bliss for which we sigh:
'Tis not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
392 Tune, LYTE ( See opposite page )
1 Far from my heavenly home,
Far from my Father's breast,
Fainting I cry, "Blest spirit! come
And speed me to my rest!" 4
2 Upon the willows long
My harp has silent hung:
How shall I sing a cheerful song,
Till thou inspire my tongue ? 5
3 My spirit homeward turns,
And fain would thither flee:
249
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee.
To thee, to thee I press,
A dark and toilsome road:
When shall I pass the wilderness,
And reach the saints' abode ?
God of my life, be near!
On thee my hopes I cast;
O guide me through the desert here,
And bring me home at last!

Yet holding unperceived their way
Through the unclouded sky.

Connected with a world above,

i Here in a world of doubt,
A sorrowful abode,
O how my heart and flesh cry out
For thee, the living God!
2 As for the water-brooks
The hart expiring pants,
So for my God my spirit looks,
Yea, for his presence faints.
3 I know thy joys, O earth!
The sweetness of thy cup;
Oft have I mingled in thy mirth,
And trusted in thy hope.
But ah! how woes and fears
Those hollow joys succeed !
That cup of mirth is mixed with tears.
That hope is but a reed.
What have I then below,
Or what but thee on high!
Thee, thee, O Father, would I know,
And in thee live and die!
Rev. William H. Furness. 1802
Sab Tune, BERA ( See opposite page )
1 O love divine, that stooped to share 3
Our sharpest pang, our bitterest tear!
On thee we cast each earth-born care;
We smile at pain while thou art
near.
2 Though long the weary way we tread ,
And sorrow crown each lingering
year, 4
No path we shun, no darkness dread;
Our hearts still whispering, thou art
near.
251
When drooping pleasure turns to grief,
And trembling faith is changed to
fear,
The murmuring wind, the quivering
leaf
Shall softly tell us, thou art near.
On thee we cast our burdening woe,
O love divine, forever dear!
Content to suffer, while we know,
Living and dying, thou art near.

I feed in green pastures, safe folded I rest:
He leadeth my soul where the still waters flow,
Restores me when wandering, redeems when oppressed.
2 Through the valley and shadow of death though I stray,
Since thou art my guardian, no evil I fear:
Thy rod shall defend me, thy staff be my stay;
No harm can befall, with my comforter near.
3 In the midst of affliction, my table is spread;
With blessings unmeasured my cup runneth o'er;
With perfume and oil thou anointest my head:
O what shall I ask of thy providence more ?

I How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in his excellent word !
What more can he say than to you he hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled,
2 " Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed;
For I am thy God , I will still give thee aid :
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand."
3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be near thee thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress."
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway 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."
5 "E'en down to old age, all my people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in my bosom be borne."
Keen, about 1750 (?)

Lead, kindly light, amid th' encircling gloom,
Lead thou me on:
The night is dark, and I am far from home,
Lead thou me on.
Keep thou my feet: I do not ask to see
The distant scene, — one step enough for me.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou
Should 'st lead me on:
I loved to choose and see my path; but now-
Lead thou me on.
I loved the garish day; and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
So long thy power has blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on,
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone.
And, with the morn, those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

In the hour of trial,
Jesus, plead for me;
Lest by base denial,
I depart from thee.
When thou see'st me waver,
With £l look recall,
Nor for fear or favor
Suffer me to fall.
With forbidden pleasures
Would this vain world charm,
Or its sordid treasures
Spread to work me harm;
Bring to my remembrance
Sad Gethsemane,
Or, in darker semblance,
Cross-crowned Calvary.
255
Should thy mercy send me
Sorrow, toil, and woe;
Or should pain attend me
On my path below;
Grant that I may never
Fail thy hand to see;
Grant that I may ever
Cast my care on thee.
When my last hour cometh,
Fraught with strife and pain,
When my dust returneth
To the dust again;
On thy truth relying,
Through that mortal strife,
Jesus, take me dying,
To eternal life.

And the heart faint beneath his chastening rod;

And pray to be forgiven,
So let thy life our pattern be,
And form our souls for heaven.
2 Help us, through good report and ill,
Our daily cross to bear;
Like thee to do our Father's will,
Our brother'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 grief's dark day come on,
We in our turn would meekly cry,
"Father, thy will be done."

For if thy work on earth be sweet,
What must thy glory be ?
3 Then I shall end my sad complaints,
And weary, sinful days;
And join with those triumphant saints
That sing Jehovah's praise.
4 My knowledge of that life is small,
The eye of faith is dim;
But 'tis enough that Christ knows all,
And I shall be with him.

O'er climes and ages, 'tis thy throne;
Where'er thy fading eye may bend
The desert blooms and is thine own.
3 Great chief of faithful souls, arise;
None else can lead the martyr-band,
Who teach the brave how peril flies,
When faith unarmed lifts up the
hand.
Thy various messengers employ;
Thy purposes of love fulfil ;
And, 'mid the wreck of human joy,
Let kneeling faith adore thy will.
Rev. Andrews Norton, 1786
Thy parting blessing, Lord, we pray;
Make but one fold below, above;
And when we go the last lone way,
O give the welcome of thy love.

1 The darkened sky, how thick it lowers!
Troubled with storms, and big with
showers;
No cheerful gleam of light appears, 5
But nature pours forth all her tears.
2 Yet let the sons of God revive;
He bids the soul that seeks him live,
And from the gloomiest shade of night
Calk
forth a morning of delight.
HAMBURG L. m. (Second Tune)
The seeds of ecstasy unknown
Are in these watered furrows sown;
See the green blades, how thick they
rise,
And with fresh verdure bless our eyes!
In secret foldings they contain
Unnumbered ears of golden grain;
And heaven shall pour its beams around,
Till the ripe harvest load the ground.
Then shall the trembling mourner
come,
And bind his sheaves, and bear them
home:
The voice long broke with sighs shall
sing,
Till heaven with alleluias ring.

1 I cannot think of them as dead
Who walk with me no more;
Along the path of life I tread
They have but gone before.
2 And still their silent ministry
Within my heart hath place,
As vhen on earth they walked with me
And met me face to face.
Their lives are made forever mine.
What they to me have been
Hath left henceforth its seal and sign
Engraven deep within.
Mine are they by an ownership
Nor time nor death can free;
For God hath given to love to keep
Its own eternally.

i Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb!
Take this new treasure to thy trust,
And give these sacred relics room
To seek a slumber in thy dust.
2 Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear
Invade thy bounds; no mortal woes
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
While angels watch its soft repose.
3 So Jesus slept; God's dying Son
Passed through the grave, and blessed
the bed; [throne
Then rest, dear saint, till from his
The morning break, and pierce the
shade.
4 Break from his throne, illustrious morn!
Attend, O earth, his sovereign word!
Restore thy trust! a glorious form
It must ascend to meet the Lord.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674
412 Tune, PASCAL ( See opposite page )
There is no death. The stars go down 4
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heaven's jewelled crown
They shine for evermore.
There is no death. The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer *
showers
To golden grain, or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He plucks our fairest, sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
Born into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With joy we welcome them — the same,
Except in sin and pain.
3 There is no death. An angel form
Walks o'er the earth with silent tread
He bears our best loved things away,
And then we call them "dead."
263
6 And ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread ;
For all the boundless universe
Is life; there are no dead.
Sir Edward Buhver-Lytton, 1803

•i The Homeland ! O the Homeland!
The land of souls freeborn !
No gloomy night is known there,
But aye the fadeless morn:
I'm sighing for that country,
My heart is aching here;
There is no pain in the Homeland
To which I'm drawing near.
2 My Lord is in the Homeland,
With angels bright and fair;
No sinful thing nor evil,
Can ever enter there;
265
The music of the ransomed
Is ringing in my ears,
And when I think of the Homeland,
My eyes are wet with tears.
For loved ones in the Homeland
Are waiting me to come
Where neither death nor sorrow
Invades their holy home;
O dear, dear native country!
O rest and peace above!
Christ bring us all to the Homeland
Of his eternal love.

i It is not death to die —
To leave this weary road,
And 'mid the brotherhood on high
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed by tears,
And wake, in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust,
And rise, on strong exulting wing,
To live among the just.
4 Jesus, thou Prince of life!
Thy chosen cannot die;
Like thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with thee on high.

Tune, HUMILITY ( See opposite page)
God giveth quietness at last!
The common way once more is passed
From pleading tears and lingerings fond
To fuller life and love beyond.
Fold the rapt soul in your embrace,
Dear ones familiar with the place !
While to the gentle greetings there
We answer here with murmured prayer.
What to shut eyes hath God revealed ?
What hear the ears that death has sealed ?
269
What undreamed beauty passing show
Requites the loss of all we know ?
4 O silent land to which we move!
Enough, if there alone be love,
And mortal need can ne'er outgrow
What it is waiting to bestow !
5 O pure soul! from that far-off shore
Float some sweet song the waters o'er
Our faith confirm, our fears dispel,
With the dear voice we loved so well!

His soul is found in peace.

4 Awake, lift up thine eyes!
See, all heaven's host appears!
And be thou glad exceedingly,

With those of mortal birth:
The living God hath touched thy lips,
Thou who hast done with earth!

Hymn 422, continued.
2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
"Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;"
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home.
Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.
3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea,
And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind shepherd, turn their weary steps to thee. Refrain.
4 Rest comes at length, though life be long and dreary,
t The day must dawn, and darksome night be past;
Faith's journeys end in welcome to the weary,
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. Refrain,

Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest. Alleluia, Alleluia.
2 Thou wast their rock, their fortress, and their might:
Thou, Lord, their captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, the 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,

The saints triumphant rise in bright array;

2 But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
3 Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark;
And may there be no sadness of farewell
When I embark.
4 For tho' from out the bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my pilot face to face,
When I have crossed the bar.
Alfred Tennyson, 1809

i Passing out of the shadow
Into a purer light;
Stepping behind the curtain,
Getting a clearer sight.
Laying aside a burden,
This weary mortal coil;
Done with the world's vexations,
Done with its tears and toil.

2 Tired of all earth's playthings,
Heartsick and ready to sleep;
Ready to bid our friends farewell,
Wondering why they weep.
Passing out of the shadow
Into eternal day;
Why do we call it dying,
This sweet going away?

i Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin ?
The blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
2 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed ?
To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.
3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round ?
On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.
4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away?
In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.
5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown?
Jesus we know, and he is on the throne.
6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours?
Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers.
7 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease,
And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace.

i Grant to this child the inward grace,
While we the outward sign impart,
The cross we on his forehead trace
Do thou engrave upon his heart.
2 May it his pride and glory be,
Beneath thy banner fair unfurled,
To march to certain victory
O'er sin, o'er Satan, o'er the world.
Rev. John Marriott, 1780
429
This child we dedicate to thee,
O God of grace and purity!
Shield it from sin and threatening
wrong,
And let thy love its life prolong.
2 O may thy spirit gently draw
Its willing soul to keep thy law;
May virtue, piety, and truth
Dawn even with its dawning youth.
3 We, too, O God! thy children aTe;
And if our feet have wandered far,
Recall us to our Father's home,
And keep us that no more we roam.

i To thee, O God in heaven,
This little one we bring;
Giving to thee what thou has given,
Our dearest offering.
2 Into a world of toil
These little feet will roam,
280
Where sin its purity may soil,
Where care and grief may come.
O then let thy pure love,
With influence serene,
Come down, like water from above,
To comfort and make clean!

i O perfect love, all human thought transcending,
Lowly we kneel in prayer before thy throne,
That theirs may be the love that knows no ending,
Whom thou for evermore 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.

O Father all-creating,
Whose wisdom, love, and power
First bound two lives together
In Eden's primal hour,
To-day to these thy children
Thine earliest gifts renew, —
A home by thee made happy,
A love by thee kept true.
Except thou build it, Father,
The house is built in vain;
Except thou, Saviour, bless it,
The joy will turn to pain;
But naught can break the marriage
Of hearts in thee made one,
And love thy spirit hallows
Is endless love begun.
Rev. John Ellerton, 1826

433
The voice that breathed o'er Eden,
That earliest wedding day,
The primal marriage blessing,
It hath not passed away.
Be present, son of Mary,
To join their loving hands,
As thou didst bind two natures
In thine eternal bands!
Be present, holiest Spirit,
To bless them as they kneel,
As thou, for Christ the bridegroom,
The heavenly spouse dost seal!
O spread thy pure wing o'er them,
Let no ill power find place,
When onward to thine altar
Their hallowed path they trace.

Lord, who at Cana's wedding feast
Didst as a guest appear,
Thou dearer far than earthly guest,
Vouchsafe thy presence here;
For holy thou indeed dost prove
The marriage vow to be,
Proclaiming it a type of love
Between the church and thee.
The holiest vow that man can make,
The golden thread in life,
The bond that none may dare to break,
That bindeth man and wife:
283
Which, blest by thee, whate'er betides,
No evil shall destroy,
Through care-worn days each care
divides,
And doubles every joy.
On those who at thine altar kneel,
O Lord, thy blessing pour,
That each may wake the other's zeal
To love thee more and more:
O grant them here in peace to live,
In purity and love,
And, this world leaving, to receive
A crown of life above !

When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries
May Jesus Christ be praised !
Alike at work and prayer
To Jesus I repair;
May Jesus Christ be praised !
Whene'er the sweet church bell
Peals over hill and dell,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
O hark to what it sings,
As joyously it rings,
May Jesus Christ be praised !
Does sadness fill my mind ?
A solace here I find,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
Or fades my earthly bliss ?
My comfort still is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The night becomes as day,
When from the heart we say,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
The powers of darkness fear,
When this sweet chant they hear,
May Jesus Christ be praised !
In heaven's eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised !
Let earth, and sea, and sky
From depth to height reply,
May Jesus Christ be praised !
Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised !
Be this the eternal song
Through ages all along,
May Jesus Christ be praised !

Rejoice, ye pure in heart!
Rejoice, give thanks and sing!
Your glorious banner wave on high:
The cross of Christ, your King!
Rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, give
thanks and sing!
Bright youth, and snow-crowned age,
Strong men and maidens meek:
Raise high your free, exulting song!
God's wondrous praises speak!
Rejoice, etc.
With all the angel choirs,
With all the saints of earth,
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss,
True rapture, noblest mirth!
Rejoice, etc.
4 Your clear hosannas raise,
And alleluias loud!
Whilst answering echoes upward float,
Like wreaths of incense cloud.
Rejoice, etc.
5 Yes, on through life's long path!
Still chanting as ye go;
From youth to age, by night and day,
In gladness and in woe.
Rejoice, etc.
6 Still lift your standard high!
Still march in firm array!
As warriors through the darkness toil^
Till dawns the golden day!
Rejoice, etc.
7 At last the march shall end;
The wearied ones shall rest :
The pilgrims find their Father's house,
Jerusalem the blest.
Rejoice, etc.

And sweet the festal lay,
When Jesus deigned in Cana's hall
To bless the marriage day!
2 O Lord of life and love,
Come thou again to-day;
And bring a blessing from above
That ne'er shall pass away.
CANA s. M. (Second Tune)
3 O bless now, as of old,
The bridegroom and the bride;
Bless with the holier stream that flowed
Forth from thy pierced side.
4 Before thine altar-throne
This mercy we implore;
As thou dost knit them, Lord, in one,
So bless them evermore.

From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Afric's sunny fountains
Roll down their golden sand ;
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
What though the spicy breezes
Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle;
Though every prospect pleases,
And only man is vile :
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness
Bows down to wood and stone.
287
Can we, whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high;
Can we to men benighted
The lamp of life deny ?
Salvation, O salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim,
Till each remotest nation
Has learnt Messiah's name.
Waft, waft, ye winds, his story,
And you, ye waters, roll,
Till, like a sea of glory,
It spreads from pole to pole.
Till o'er our ransomed nature,
The Lamb, for sinners slain,
Redeemer, king, creator,
In bliss returns to reign.

Salvation thro* Immanuel's name;
To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the rose of Sharon there.
2 He'll shield you with a wall of fire,
With holy zeal your hearts inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease,
And hush the tempest into peace.
3 And when our labors all are o'er,
Then may we meet to part no more, —
Meet with the ransomed throng to fall,
And crown the Saviour Lord of all !

i Look from thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might!
In pity look on those who stray,
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from
thee!
3 Send forth thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened
old,
A scattered, homeless flock, till all
Be gathered to thy peaceful fold.
4 Send them thy mighty word to speak,
Till faith shall dawn and doubt
depart,
To awe the bold, to stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken
heart.
5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene
That makes us sadden as we gaze,
Shall grow with living waters green,
And lift to heaven the voice of
praise.
William Cullen Bryant, 1794
441 Tune, MELCOMBE ( See opposite page )
O spirit of the living God! 3 O spirit of the Lord, prepare
In all thy plentitude of grace, All the round earth her God to meet;
Where'er the foot of man hath trod, Breathe thou abroad like morning air,
Descend on our benighted race. Till hearts of stone begin to beat.
2 Be darkness, at thy coming, light;
Confusion, order in thy path ; [might ;
Souls without strength inspire with
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
Thy name, O Father, glorify,
Till every kindred call thee Lord.

In anxious silence o'er the sign;

Shall see from far the glorious sight,
And nations, crowding to be born,
Baptize their spirits in its light.
4 Fling out the banner! sin-sick souls
That sink and perish in the strife,
Shall touch in faith its radiant hem,
And spring immortal into life.
5 Fling out the banner! let it float
Skyward and seaward, high and wide,
Our glory, only in the cross;

6 Fling out the banner! wide and high,

Unresting in the calm of life,
Unshrinking in the storm.

i There is an hour of peaceful rest
To mourning wanderers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed,
A balm for every wounded breast:
'Tis found alone in heaven.
2 There is a home for weary souls
By sins and sorrows driven;
When tossed on life's tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise, and ocean rolls,
And all is drear but heaven.
There faith lifts up the tearless eye,
The heart no longer riven;
And views the tempest passing by,
Sees evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene in heaven.

1 God of eternity! from thee
Did infant time his being draw :
Moments and days and months and
years
Revolve by thine unvaried law.
3 The thoughtless tribe of mortal men
Before the rapid stream are borne
On to their everlasting home,
Whence not one soul can e'er return.
2 Silent and slow they glide away: 4 Great source of wisdom, teach my heart
Steady and strong the current flows, To know the price of every hour,
Lost in eternity's wide sea, That time may bear us on to joys
The boundless gulf from which it rose. Beyond its measure and its power.

i O what the joy and the glory must be,
Those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see!
Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be all, and in all ever blest.
2 What are the monarch, his court, and his throne?
What are the peace and the joy that they own ?
O that the blest ones, who in it have share,
All that they feel could as fully declare!
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people eternally raise.
4 There dawns no sabbath, no sabbath is o'er,
Those sabbath-keepers have one evermore;
One and .unending is that triumph-song
Which to the angels and us shall belong.

i Lord, we believe a rest remains,
To all thy people known;
A rest where pure enjoyment reigns,
For thou art served alone;
2 A rest, where all our soul's desire
Is fixed on things above, —
Where fear and sin and grief expire,
Cast out by perfect love.
449
i Another hand is beckoning us,
Another call is given;
And glows once more with angel steps
The path that reaches heaven.
2 O half we deemed she needed not
The changing of her sphere,
To give to heaven a kindred soul,
Who walked an angel here!
3 Alone unto our Father's will
One thought hath reconciled ;
3 O that we now the rest might know,
Believe, and enter in!
Now, Father, now the power bestow,
And let me cease from sin.
4 Remove this hardness from our heart,
All unbelief remove;
The rest of perfect faith impart,
The sabbath of thy love.
Wesley's Collection
295
That he whose love exceedeth ours
Hath taken home his child.
Fold her, O Father! in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger of love between
Our human hearts and thee.
Still let her mild rebuking stand
Between us and the wrong,
And her dear memory serve to make
Our faith in goodness strong.
John G. Whittier, 1807

i Forever with the Lord !
Amen, so let it be:
Life from the dead is in that word,
'Tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
Absent from thee I roam;
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home ;
Nearer home, nearer home,
A day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high!
Home of my soul, how near
At times to faith's foreseeing eye
Thy golden gates appear!
296
I hear at morn and even,
At noon and midnight hour,
The choral harmonies of heaven
Earth's Babel-tongues o'erpower.
Nearer home, etc.
3 Then, then I feel that he,
Remembered or forgot,
The Lord, is never far from me,
Though I perceive him not.
So, when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
Nearer home, etc.

There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers:
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood,
Stand dressed in living green :
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
4 But timorous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea,
And linger, shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan, that we love,
With unbeclouded eyes;
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o'er, —
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold
flood,
Should fright us from the shore.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1674
453 Tune, DAY OF REST
No seas again shall sever,
No desert intervene,
No deep sad-flowing river
Shall roll its tide between.
Love and unsevered union
Of soul with those we love,
Nearness and glad communion,
Shall be our joy above.
( See opposite page )
2 No dread of wasting sickness,
No thought of ache or pain,
No fretting hours of weakness,
Shall mar our peace again.
No death, our homes o'ershading,
Shall e'er our harps unstring;
For all is life unfading
In presence of our King.

1 Only waiting, till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting, till the glimmer
Of the day's last beam is flown;
Till the light of earth is faded
From the heart once full of day;
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
2 Only waiting, till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home;
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers, — gather quickly
These last ripe hours of my heart;
For the bloom of life is withered,
And I hasten to depart.
Only waiting, till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting, till the glimmer
Of the day's last beam is flown.
Then, from out the gathered darkness
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

i Jerusalem, my happy home!
Name ever dear to me !
When shall my labors have an end
In joy and peace and thee ?
2 There happier bowers than Eden's
bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know :
LANCASTER C. M. ( Hymn 457 )
Blest seats! through rude and stormy
scenes
I onward press to you.
Why should I shrink at pain and woe,
Or feel at death dismay?
I've Canaan's goodly land in view
And realms of endless day.
Apostles, martyrs, prophets there
Around my Saviour stand ;
And soon my friends in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.
Jerusalem, my happy home!
My soul still pants for thee :
Then shall my labors have an end
When I thy joys shall see.

i Art thou wean-, art thou languid, art thou sore distrest?
"Come to me," saith one, ''and coming be at rest!"
2 Hath he marks to lead me to him, if he be my guide?
14 In his feet and hands are wound-prints, and his side."
3 Hath he diadem as monarch that his brow adorns?
"Yea, a crown in very surety, but of thorns."
4 If I find him, if I follow, what his guerdon here?
'• Many a sorrow, many a labor, many a tear."
5 If I still hold closely to him, what hath he at last?
"Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan past."
6 If I ask him to receive me, will he say me nay?
"Not till earth and not till heaven pass away."

Tune, LANCASTER ( See opposite page )
i My God, I rather look to thee
Than to these fancies fond,
And wait, till thou reveal to me
That fair and far Beyond.
2 And wherefore should I seek above
Thy city in the sky,
Since firm in faith and deep in love
Its broad foundations lie, —
Since in a life of peace and prayer,
Nor known on earth, nor praised,
By humblest toil, by ceaseless care,
Its holy towers are raised?
Where pain the soul hath purified,
And penitence hath shriven,
And truth is crowned and glorified,
There — only there — is heaven.

With joy or sorrow fill,
As best to thee may seem;
Choose thou my good and ill.
Choose thou for me my friends,
My sickness or my health;
Choose thou my cares for me,

i Thy way, not mine, O Lord,
However dark it be!
Lead me by thine own hand;
Choose thou the path for me.
Smooth let it be, or rough,
It will be still the best;
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to thy rest.

Choose thou for me, my God;
So shall I walk aright.

1 Your harps, ye trembling saints,
Down from the willows take;
Loud to the praise of love divine
Bid every string awake.
Fastened within the veil,
Hope be your anchor strong;
His loving spirit the sweet gale
That wafts you smooth along.
2 Or should the surges rise,
And peace delay to come,
Blest is the sorrow, kind the storm,
That drives us nearer home.
When we in darkness walk,
Nor feel the heavenly flame,
Then is the time to trust our God,
And rest upon his name.
Wait, till the shadows flee;
Wait thy appointed hour;
Wait, till the shepherd of thy soul
Reveal his love with power.
Tarry his leisure, then,
Although he seem to stay;
A moment's intercourse with him
Thy grief will overpay.

Thy blessing now we wait:
Thy servant, girded for his work,
Stands at the temple's gate.
A holy purpose in his heart
Has deepened calm and still;
Now from his childhood's Nazareth
He comes, to do thy will.
2 O Father, keep his soul alive
To every hope of good ;
And may his life of love proclaim
Man's truest brotherhood!
f
O Father, keep his spirit quick
To every form of wrong;
And, in the ear of sin and self,
May his rebuke be strong!
3 And as he doth Christ's footsteps press,
If e'er his faith grow dim,
Then, in the dreary wilderness,
Thine angels strengthen him!
And grant him many hearts to lead
Into thy perfect rest:
Bless thou him, Father, and his work;
Bless, and they shall be blest.

1 All things are thine: no gift have we,
Lord of all gifts, to offer thee;
And hence with grateful hearts to-day,
Thy own before thy feet we lay.
2 Thy will was in the builder's thought;
Thy hand unseen amidst us wrought;
Through mortal motive, scheme and
plan,
Thy wise eternal purpose ran. .
3 No lack thy perfect fulness knew;
From human needs and longings grew
ROCKINGHAM L. m. (Second Tune)
This house of prayer, this home of rest
In the fair garden of the west.
In weakness and in want we call
On thee for whom the heavens are
small;
Thy glory is thy children's good,
Thy joy thy tender fatherhood.
O Father, deign these walls to bless;
Fill with thy love their emptiness:
And let their door a gateway be
To lead us from ourselves to thee.

Here to meet for praise and prayer.
2 Let the living here be fed
With thy word, the heavenly bread;
Here, in hope of glory blest,
May the dead be laid to rest.

While the sea shall gird the land ;

While the sun and moon endure.

Where bends the cataract's ocean-fall,
On the lone mountain's silent head, —

Is filled by thee; but human thought
Burns clearer in some chosen place,
Where thine own words of love are
taught.

That faith thy servants knew of old,
Which onward bears, thro' weal or woe,

Shows yet no trace of human cares
Hereafter stand where we do now,
And raise to thee still holier prayers I

i The perfect world, by Adam trod,
Was the first temple, — built by God;
His fiat laid the corner-stone,
And heaved its pillars one by one.
2 He hung its starry roof on high, —
The broad, illimitable sky;
He spread its pavement green and
bright
And curtained it with morning light.
3 The mountains in their places stood, —
The sea, the sky, — and " all was
good;"
And, when its first pure praises rang,
The "morning stars together sang."
4 Lord ! 'tis not ours to make the sea,
And earth, and sky a house for thee;
But in thy sight our offering stands,
A humbler temple, " made with hands."

i To light, that shines in stars and souls,
To law, that rounds the world with
calm,
To love, whose equal triumph rolls
Through martyr's prayer and angel's
psalm, —
We wed these walls with unseen bands,
In holier shrines not made with hands.
2 May purer sacrament be here
Than ever dwelt in rite or creed ;
Hallowed the hour with vow sincere
To serve the time's all-pressing need,
And rear, its heaving seas above,
Strongholds of freedom, folds of love.
Here be the wanderer homeward led;
Here living streams in fulness flow;
And every hungering soul be fed,
That yearns the eternal will to know ;
Here conscience hurl her stern reply
To mammon's lust and slavery's lie.
Speak, living God, thy full command
Through prayer of faith and word of
power,
That we with girded loins may stand
To do thy work and wait thine hour,
And sow, 'mid patient toils and tears
For harvests in serener years.
Rev. Samuel Johnson, 1822
469 Tune, DUKE STREET ( See opposite page )
O Father! take the new-built shrine;
The house our glands have reared is
thine :
Greet us with welcome when we come,
And make our Father's house our home.
Blest with thy spirit while we stay,
May we thy spirit bear away,
That every heart a shrine may be,
And every home a home for thee.

i O thou whose own vast temple stands
Built over earth and sea!
Accept the walls that human hands
Have raised to worship thee.
May erring minds that worship here
Be taught the better way;
And they who mourn and they who fear
Be strengthened as they pray!
2 Lord, from thine inmost glory send, 4 May faith grow firm and love grow warm,
Within these courts to bide, And pure devotion rise,
The peace that dwelleth, without end, While round these hallow'd walls the storm
Serenely by thy side. Of earth-born passion dies!
William Cullen Bryant, 1794

1 We love the venerable house
Our fathers built to God ;
In heaven are kept their grateful vows,
Their dust endears the sod.
2 Here holy thoughts a light have shed
From many a radiant face,
And prayers of humble virtue made
The perfume of the place.
3 And anxious hearts have pondered here
The mystery of life,
And prayed the eternal light to clear
Their doubts and aid their strife.
From humble tenements around
Came up the pensive train,
And in the church a blessing found.
That filled their homes again.
They live with God, their homes are
dust;
Yet here their children pray,
And in this fleeting lifetime, trust
To find the narrow way.

1 O God, the rock of ages,
Who evermore hast been,
What time the tempest rages,
Our dwelling-place serene:
Before thy first creations,
O Lord, the same as now,
To endless generations
The everlasting thou!
2 Our years are like the shadows
O'er sunny hills that fly,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die;
A sleep, a dream, a story,
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
O thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail.
On us thy mercy lighten,
On us thy goodness rest;
And let thy spirit brighten
The hearts thyself hath blessed.

i O Lord of heaven, and earth, and sea,
To thee all praise and glory be:
How shall we show our love to thee,
Who givest all?
2 The golden sunshine, vernal air,
Sweet flowers and fruits thy love declare ;
When harvests ripen, thou art there,
Who givest all!
3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days,
For all the blessings earth displays,
We owe thee thankfulness and praise,
,Who givest all!
4 Thou didst not spare thine only Son,
But gav'st him for a world undone,
And freely with that blessed one
Thou givest all.
5 O Lord, from whom we all derive
Our life, our gifts, our power to give;
O may we ever with thee live,
Who givest all.

1 For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
2 For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above,
Pleasures pure and undefiled,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful hymn of praise.
For thy church that evermore
Lifteth holy hands above,
Offering up on every shore
Her full sacrifice of love,
Lord of all, to thee we raise
This our grateful psalm of praise.

i We plough the fields, and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft, refreshing rain.
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all his love.
2 He only is the maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey him,
By him the birds are fed;
318
Much more to us, his children,
He gives our daily bread.
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord,0 thank the Lord
For all his love.
We thank thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food;
Accept the gifts we offer,
For all thy love imparts,
And what thou most desirest, — ■
Our humble, thankful hearts.
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above,
Then thank the Lord,0 thank the Lord
For all his love.

Gone are those great and good
Who here, in peril, stood
And raised their hymn.
Peace to the reverend dead!
The light that on their head
The passing years have shed
Shall ne'er grow dim.
Ye temples, that to God
Rise where our fathers trod,
Guard well your trust, —
The faith that dared the sea,
The truth that made them free,
Their cherished purity,
Their garnered dust.
Thou high and holy one,
Whose care for sire and son
All nature fills, —
While day shall break and close,
While night her crescent shows,
O let thy light repose
On these our hills!
Rev. John Pierpont, 1785

i The God of harvest praise;
In loud thanksgiving raise
Hand, heart, and voice:
The valleys laugh and sing,
Forests and mountains ring,
The plains their tribute bring,
The streams rejoice.
2 Yea, bless his holy name,
And joyous thanks proclaim
Through all the earth:
To glory in your lot
Is comely; but be not
God's benefits forgot
Amid your mirth.
3 The God of harvest praise;
Hands, hearts, and voices raise,
With sweet accord.
From field to garner throng,
Bearing your sheaves along,
And in your harvest song
Bless ye the Lord.

For the love that crowns our days!
Bounteous source of every joy,
Let thy praise our tongues employ.
For the blessings of the field,
For the stores the gardens yield ;
Flocks, that whiten all the plain,
Yellow sheaves of ripened grain:
2 All that spring with bounteous hand
Scatters o'er the smiling land ;
All that liberal autumn pours
From her rich o'erflowing stores, —
These to thee, our God! we owe,
Source whence all our blessings flow;
And for these our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise.
Yet, should rising whirlwinds tear
From its stem the ripening ear;
Should the vine put forth no more,
Nor the olive yield her store ;
Still to thee our souls shall raise
Grateful vows and solemn praise;
And, when every blessing's flown,
Love thee for thyself alone !

1 Come, ye thankful people, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home;
All is safely gathered in,
Ere the winter storms begin ;
God, our maker, doth provide
For our wants to be supplied ;
Come to God's own temple, come,
Raise the song of harvest-home.
2 All the world is God's own field,
Fruit unto his praise to yield ;
Wheat and tares together sown,
Unto joy or sorrow grown:
First the blade, and then the ear,
Then the full corn shall appear:
Lord of harvest, grant that we
Wholesome grain and pure may be.
For the Lord our God shall come,
And shall take his harvest home:
From his field shall in that day
All offences purge away;
Give his angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore.
Even so, Lord, quickly come
To thy final harvest-home :
Gather thou thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin;
There forever purified,
In thy presence to abide :
Come with all thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home.

Mighty to revive and cheer!
Bless our yet untrodden way;
Lead us through the entered year.
Where the shades of death we see,
Let thy living brightness be:
Let it speed our lingering feet;
Let it shine on all we meet.
2 Open thou beneath our tread 3
Springs the distance could not show;
From the holy fountain-head
Let them rise where'er we go:
Rather, give us eyes to see, —
Love, awake to love in thee, —
Hearts that, trusting in thy care,
Find its traces everywhere.

While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Hasted through the former year,
Many souls their race have run,
Never more to meet us here.
Raised to an eternal state,
They have done with all below:
We a little longer wait;
But how little, none can know.
As the winged arrow flies
Speedily the mark to find;
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace be hind, -
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream:
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise;
All below is but a dream.
Thanks for mercies past receive,
Pardon of our sins renew;
Teach us henceforth how to live
With eternity in view.
Bless thy word to young and old;
Fill us with a Saviour's love;
And when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with thee above!

The unceasing rush of time sweeps on ;
Whelmed in its surges, disappear
Man's hopes and fears, forever gone!
2 O what concerns it him whose way
Lies upward to the immortal dead,
That nearer comes the closing day,
That one year more of life has fled ?
3 Swift years! but teach me how to bear,
To feel and act with strength and
skill,
To reason wisely, nobly dare, —
And speed your courses as you will.
4 When life's meridian toils are done,
How calm, how rich the twilight-
glow!
The morning twilight of a sun
Which shines not here on things be-
low!
5 Press onward thro' each varying hour;
Let no weak fears thy course delay;
Immortal being! feel thy power;
Pursue thy bright and endless way!

Their gratitude sincere,
Whose love hath kept us, night and day
Throughout another year.
2 Of every breath and every power
Thou wast the gracious source;

Which smiled along its course.

Melodious voices move! [break!

2 Lord ! from this year more service win,
More glory, more delight!
O make its hours less sad with sin,
Its days with thee more bright!

If earthly cheer should come;
Or gladsome mount on angel wings,
If thou shouldst take us home.

Still are we guarded by our God;
By his incessant bounty fed,
By his unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own:
The future, all to us unknown,
We to thy guardian care commit,
And, peaceful, leave before thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or depressed,
Thou art our joy, and thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.

In safety leads thro' danger's darkest hour, —
Here in thy temple, bow thy children down,
To bless thy mercy, and thy might to own.
2 Thine are the beams that cheer us on our way,
And pour around the gladdening light of day!
Thine is the night, and the fair orbs that shine
To cheer its hours of darkness, — all are thine.
3 Yet when our hearts review departed days,
How great thy goodness! how remiss thy praise!
The things we ought, how oft we've left undone,
Or grieved thy spirit, high and holy one!
4 But Father, now we lift thy hymn to thee;
Where'er we dwell, still let thy mercy be;
From year to year, still nearer to thy shrine
Draw our frail hearts, and make them wholly thine!

i Backward looking o'er the past,
Forward, too, with eager gaze,
Stand we here to-day, O God,
At the parting of the ways.
2 Tenderest thoughts our bosoms fill;
Memories all bright and fair
Seem to float on spirit wings,
Downward through the silent air.
3 Hark, through all their music sweet,
Hear you not a voice of cheer ?
'Tis the voice of hope which sings,
"Happy be the coming year."
Rev. John W. Chadwick, 1840
VIENNA 7. (Second Tune)

1 Bless, O Lord, the opening year
To the souls assembled here:
Clothe thy word with power divine;
Make us willing to be thine.
2 Where thou hast the work begun,
Give new strength the race to run;
Scatter darkness, doubts, and fears;
Wipe away the mourner's tears.
3 Bless us all, both old and young:
Call forth praise from every tongue :
Let our whole assembly prove
All thy power and all thy love.
Rev. John Newton, 1725

The breaking waves dashed high j
On a stern and rock-bound coast,
And the woods against a stormy sky
Their giant branches tossed ;
And the heavy night hung dark,
The hills and waters o'er,
When a band of exiles moored their
bark
On the wild New England shore.
Not as the conqueror comes, t
They, the true-hearted, came;
Not with the roll of stirring drums,
And the trump that sings of fame :
Not as the flying come,
In silence and in fear,
They shook the depths of the desert's
gloom
With their hymns of lofty cheer.
Amidst the storm they sang;
And the stars heard, and the sea!
And the sounding aisles of the dim woods
rang
To the anthem of the free.
The ocean eagle soared
From his nest by the white wave's foam,
And the rocking pines of the forest roared ;
This was their welcome home!
What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine ?
The wealth of seas, the spoils of war?
They sought a faith's pure shrine!
Ay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trod !
They have left unstained, what here they
found :
Freedom to worship God.

Blest are the souls that hear and know
The gospel's joyful sound;
Peace shall attend the paths they go,
And light their steps surround.
TRURO L. M.
2 Their joy shall bear their spirits up,
Through their Redeemer's name;
His righteousness exalts their hope,
Nor dares the world condemn.

Strength and salvation gives:

Thy God forever lives.

1 Spirit of mercy, truth, and love,
O shed thine influence from above;
And still from age to age convey
The wonders of this sacred day.
In every clime, by every tongue,
Be God's surpassing glory sung;
Through all the listening earth be
taught
The deeds our great Redeemer wrought.
Unfailing comfort, heavenly guide,
Still o'er thy holy church preside;
Still let mankind thy blessings prove,
Spirit of mercy, truth, and love.

1 When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean,
And billows wild contend with angry roar,
'Tis said, far down beneath the wild commotion,
That peaceful stillness reigneth evermore.
2 Far, far beneath, the noise of tempests dieth,
And silver waves chime ever peacefully;
And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it flieth,
Disturbs the sabbath of that deeper sea.
3 So to the heart that knows thy love, O purest!
There is a temple, sacred evermore;
And all the Babel of life's angry voices
Dies in hushed stillness at its peaceful door.
Far, far away, the roar of passion dieth,
And loving thoughts rise calm and peacefully;
And no rude storm, how fierce soe'er it flieth,
Disturbs the soul that dwells, O Lord, in thee.

A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest
Asleep within the tomb;
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
A few more suns shall set
O'er these dark hills of time,
And we shall meet where suns are not,
A far serener clime :
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blest day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
A few more storms shall beat
On this wild rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that calm day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more :
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that bright day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.
'Tis but a little while
And he shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with him may reign :
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O wash me in thy precious blood,
And take my sins away.

i Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless
wave,
Who bidst the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep,
O hear us when we cry to thee,
For those in peril on the sea.
2 O Christ! whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at thy word,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea!
O holy Spirit, who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea!
O source divine of love and power!
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and
sea.

i Rocked in the cradle of the deep, 3 And such the trust that still were mine,
I lay me down in peace to sleep; Tho' stormy winds swept o'er the brine,
Secure I rest upon the wave, Or tho' the tempest's fiery breath
For thou, O Lord! hast power to save. Roused me from sleep to wreck and
death!
2 I know thou wilt not slight my call; 4 In ocean caves still safe with thee
For thou dost mark the sparrow's fall! The germs of immortality:
And calm and peaceful is my sleep, So, calm and peaceful is my sleep,
Rocked in the cradle of the deep. Rocked in the cradle of the deep.

i O God of love, O King of peace, 3 Whom shall we trust but thee, O Lord ?
Make wars throughout the world to cease; Where rest but on thy faithful word ?
The wrath of sinful man restrain, None ever called on thee in vain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again. Give peace, O God, give peace again.
2 Remember, Lord, thy works of old,
The wonders that our fathers told,
Remember not our sin's dark stain,
Give peace, O God, give peace again.

Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrim's pride,
From every mountain side
Let freedom ring!

Land of the noble free, —
Thy name I love:
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills
Like that above.

And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song!
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break, -
The sound prolong!

On thee we wait!
Be her walls holiness;
Her rulers, righteousness;
Her officers be peace;
God save the state.

In whom alone is might,
On thee we call!
Give us prosperity;
Give us true liberty;
May all the oppressed go free;

praise,
Have made one offering of their days;
For truth, for heaven, for freedom's

i Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored!
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword;
His truth is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
2 I have seen him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps;
They have builded him an altar in the evening dews and damps;
I have read his righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps,
His day is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah, etc.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel;
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the hero born of woman crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
Glory, glory, hallelujah, etc.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat;
He is sifting out the hearts of men before his judgment-seat:
O be swift, my soul, to answer him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah, etc.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me;
As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While God is marching on.

May they thy servants be,
And rule in righteousness.
O Lord, stretch forth thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
4 The church of thy dear Son
Inflame with love's pure fire,
Bind her once more in one,
And life and truth inspire.
O Lord, stretch forth thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
5 Give peace, Lord, in our time;
O let no foe draw nigh,
Nor lawless deed of crime
Insult thy majesty.
O Lord, stretch forth thy mighty hand,
And guard and bless our fatherland.
Bishop William W. How, 1833
Hymn 514, continued
Crowns and thrones may perish,
Kingdoms rise and wane,
But the church of Jesus
Constant will remain;
Gates of hell can never
'Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail.
Onward, etc.
Onward, then, ye people!
Join our happy throng!
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song!
Glory, laud, and honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages
Men and angels sing.
Onward, etc.

i When, driven by oppression's rod,
Our fathers fled beyond the sea,
Their care was first to honor God,
And next to leave their children free.
2 Above the forest's gloomy shade
The altar and the school appeared:
On that, the gifts of faith were laid;
In this, their precious hopes were
reared.
3 The altar and the schools shall stand,
The sacred pillars of our trust;
And freedom's sons shall fill the land
When we are sleeping in the dust.
4 Before thine altar, Lord, we bend,
With grateful song and fervent
prayer;
For thou, who wast our fathers' friend,
Wilt make our offspring still thy care.

i God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,
Our grateful songs before thy throne arise.
2 Thy love divine hath led us in the past,
In this -free land by thee our lot is cast;
Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay;
Thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.
3 From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence,
Be thy strong arm our ever sure defence;
Thy true religion in our hearts increase,
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace.
4 Refresh thy people on their toilsome way,
Lead us from night to never-ending day;
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,
And glory, laud and praise be ever thine.

i O beautiful my country !
Be thine a nobler care
Than all thy wealth of commerce,
Thy harvests waving fair :
Be it thy pride to uplift
The manhood of the poor ;
Be thou to the oppressed
Fair freedom's open door !
2 For thee our fathers suffered, —
For thee they toiled and prayed ;
Upon thy holy altar
Their willing lives they laid :
Thou hast no common birthright,
Grand mem'ries on thee shine ;
The blood of pilgrim nations
Commingled flows in thine.
O beautiful our country !
Round thee in love we draw ;
Thine is the grace of freedom,
The majesty of law :
Be righteousness thy scepter,
Justice thy diadem ;
And on thy shining forehead
Be peace the crowning gem !

i Do no sinful action,
Speak no angry word ;
Ye belong to Jesus,
Children of the Lord.
4 But you must not hear him,
Though 'tis hard for you
To resist the evil,
And the good to do.
2 Christ is kind and gentle,
Christ is pure and true ;
And his little children
Must be holy too.
5 You are new-born Christians ;
You must learn to fight
With the bad within you,
And to do the right.
3 There's a wicked spirit
Watching round you still,
And he tries to tempt you
To all harm and ill ;
6 Christ is vour own Master,
He is good and true ;
And his little children
Must be holy too.

t
Hymn 528, continued
3 By cool Siloam's shady rill
The lily must decay;
The rose that blooms beneath the hill
Must shortly fade away.
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour
Of man's maturer age
Will shake the soul with sorrow's power,
And stormy passion's rage.
5 O thou whose infant feet were found
Within thy Father's shrine;
Whose years with changeless virtue
crowned,
Were all alike divine;
6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath,
We seek thy grace alone,
In childhood, manhood, age, and death,
To keep us still thine own.
Bishop Reginald Heber, 1783
529
1 How long, sometimes, a day appears!
And weeks, how long are they!
Months move as slow, as if the years
Would never pass away.
2 But even years are passing by,
And soon must all be gone;
For day by day, as minutes fly,
Eternity comes on.
3 Days, months, and years must have an
Eternity has none; [end;
'Twill always have as long to spend
As when it first begun.
4 Great God ! an infant cannot tell
How such a thing can be,
I only pray that I may dwell
That long, long time, with thee.

i Great God, and wilt thou condescend
To be my Father and my friend ?
I but a child and thou so high,
The Lord of earth, and air, and sky?
2 Art thou my Father ? Canst thou bear
To hear my poor imperfect prayer?
Or wilt thou listen to the praise
That such a little one can raise?
3 Art thou my Father? Let me be
A meek, obedient child to thee,
And try in every deed and thought
To serve and please thee as I ought.
4 Art thou my Father? I'll depend
Upon the care of such a friend;
And only wish to do and be
Whatever seemeth good to thee.
5 Art thou my Father? Then at last,
When all my days on earth are past,
Send down and take me in thy love
To be thy better child above.
Mrs. Ann T. Gilbert, 178/
1 We are but little children weak,
And he is King above the sky;
What can we do for Jesus' sake,
Who is so good, and great, and high ?
2 When deep within our swelling hearts
The thoughts of pride and anger rise,
When bitter words are on our tongues
And tears of passion in our eyes;
3 Then we may stay the angry blow,
Then we may check the hasty word,
Give gentle answers back again,
And fight a battle for our Lord.
4 With smiles of peace, and looks of love,
Light in our dwellings we may make,
Bid kind good humor brighten there,
And still do all for Jesus' sake.
5 There's not a child so small and weak
But has his little cross to take,
His little work of love and praise
That he may do for Jesus' sake.

HYMNS TO BE READ
1
Father of all! in every age,
In every clime adored,
By saint, by savage, or by sage,
The universal Lord!
Thou great first cause! least understood,
Who all my sense confined
To know but this, — that thou art good,
And that myself am blind.
What conscience dictates to be done,
Or warns me not to do,
This teach me, more than hell, to shun,
That, more than heaven, pursue.
If I am right, thy grace impart
Still in the right to stay;
If I am wrong, O teach my heart
To find that better way.
Save me alike from foolish pride
Or impious discontent
At aught thy wisdom has denied,
Or aught thy goodness lent.
Teach me to feel another's woe,
To hide the fault I see;
That mercy I to others show,
That mercy show to me.
Mean though I am (not wholly so,
Since quickened by thy breath),
O lead me, wheresoe'er I go,
Through this day's life or death.
.376
This day be bread and peace my lot;
But all beneath the sun
Thou know'st if best bestowed or not:
And let thy will be done.
To thee, whose temple is all space,
Whose altar, earth, sea, skies,
One chorus let all beings raise,
All nature's incense rise.
Alexander Pope, 1688
The harp at nature's advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made, and praise is given
By all things near and far:
The ocean looketh up to heaven
And mirrors every star.
The green earth sends her incense up
From many a mountain shrine:
From folded leaf and dewy cup
She pours her sacred wine.
The blue sky is the temple's arch;
Its transept, earth and air;
The music of its starry march,
The chorus of a prayer.
So nature keeps the reverent frame
With which her years began;
And all her signs and voices shame
The prayerless heart of man.
John G. Whittier, 1807
APPENDIX A
3
0 love! O life! our faith and sight
Thy presence maketh one:
As, through tranfigured clouds of white,
We trace the noon-day sun.
We faintly hear, we dimly see,
In differing phrase we pray;
But, dim or clear, we own in thee
The light, the truth, the way.
The homage that we render thee
Is still our Father's own;
Nor jealous claim or rivalry
Divides the cross and throne.
To do thy will is more than praise,
As words are less than deeds ;
And simple trust can find thy ways
We miss with chart of creeds.
Our friend, our brother, and our Lord,
What may thy service be?
Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word,
But simply following thee.
John G. Whittier, 1807
4 ( Eternal Goodness)
1 bow my forehead to the dust,
I veil mine eyes for shame,
And urge, in trembling self-distrust,
A prayer without a claim.
No offering of mine own I have,
Nor works my faith to prove;
I can but give the gifts he gave,
And plead his love for love.
I dimly guess, from blessings known,
Of greater out of sight;
And, with the chastened psalmist, own
His judgments too are right.
And if my heart and flesh are weak
To bear an untried pain,
The bruised reed he will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.
I know not what the future hath
Of marvel or surprise,
Assured alone that life and death
His mercy underlies.
And so beside the silent sea
I wait the muffled oar:
No harm from him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.
I know not where his islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond his love and care.
And thou, O Lord, by whom are seen
Thy creatures as they be,
Forgive me if too close I lean
My human heart on thee.
John G. Whittier, 1807
God hides himself within the love
Of those whom we love best;
The smiles and tones that make our homes
Are shrines by him possessed.
He tents within the lonely heart
And shepherds every thought;
We find him not by seeking long,
We lose him not, unsought.
Rev. William C. Gannett, 1840
6
At anchor laid, remote from home,
Toiling I cry, sweet spirit, come,
Celestial breeze, no longer stay,
But swell my sails and speed my way.
Fain would I mount, fain would I glow
And loose my cable from below;
But I can only spread my sail,
Thou, thou must breathe the auspicious gale !
Rev. Augustus M. Toplady, 1740
377
APPENDIX A
It is not what my hands have done
That weighs my spirit down,
That casts a shadow o'er the sun,
And over earth a frown.
It is not any heinous guilt,
Or vice by men abhorred,
For fair the fame that I have built,
A fair life's just reward.
And men would wonder if they knew
How sad I feel with sins so few.
Alas, they only know in part!
While thus they judge the whole;
They cannot look upon the heart,
They cannot read the soul;
But I survey myself within
And mournfully I feel
How deep the principle of sin
Its root may there conceal,
And spread its poison thro' the frame
Without a deed that men can blame.
They judge by actions which they see
Brought out before the sun,
But conscience brings reproach to me
For that I've left undone:
For opportunities of good
In folly thrown away;
For hours misspent in solitude,
Forgetfulness to pray;
And thousands more omitted things
Whose memory fills my breast with stings.
And therefore is my heart oppressed
With thoughtfulness and gloom,
Nor can I hope for perfect rest
'Till I escape this doom.
Help me, thou merciful and just,
This fearful gloom to fly:
Thou art my help, my hope, my trust,
O help me lest I die;
And let my full obedience prove
My perfect powers of faith and love.
Rev. Henry Ware, Jr., 1794
378
O (Thanksgiving)
Praise to God, and thanksgiving!
Hearts bow down; and voices sing
Praises to the glorious one,
All his year of wonder done!
Praise him for his budding green,
April's resurrection-scene ;
Praise him for his shining hours,
Starring all the land with flowers!
Praise him for his summer rain,
Feeding, day and night, the grain;
Praise him for his tiny seed,
Holding all his world shall need;
Praise him for his garden root,
Meadow grass and orchard fruit;
Praise for hills and valleys broad, —
Each the table of the Lord!
Praise him now for snowy rest,
Falling soft on nature's breast;
Praise for happy dreams of birth,
Brooding in the quiet earth;
For his year of wonder done,
Praise to the all-glorious one;
Hearts bow down, and voices ring,
Praise and love and thanksgiving!
Rev. William C. Gannett, 1840

Out from the heart of nature rolled
The burdens of the Bible old:
The litanies of nations came,
Like the volcano's tongue of flame,
Up from the burning core below,
The canticles of love and woe.
The word unto the prophet spoken
Was writ on tables yet unbroken;
Still floats upon the morning wind,
Still whispers to the willing mind:
One accent of the Holy Ghost
The heedless world has never lost.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, i8og i
APPENDIX A
10
Every day hath toil and trouble,
Every heart hath care:
Meekly bear thine own full measure,
And thy brother's share.
Fear not, shrink not, though the burden
Heavy to thee prove:
God shall fill thy mouth with gladness,
And thy heart with love.
Patiently enduring, ever
Let thy spirit be
Bound, by links that cannot sever,
To humanity.
Labor! wait! thy Master perished
Ere his task was done:
Count not lost thy fleeting moments;
Life hath but begun.
Labor! wait! though midnight shadows
Gather round thee here,
And the storm above thee lowering
Fill thy heart with fear, —
Wait in hope! the morning dawneth
When the night is gone,
And a peaceful rest awaits thee
When thy work is done.
Bailey
1 1 ( Affliction )
It singeth low in every heart,
We hear it. each and all. —
A song of those who answer not,
However we may call.
They throng the silence of the breast;
We see them as of yore, —
The kind, the true, the brave, the sweet,
Who walk with us no more.
But O 'tis good to think of them
When we are troubled sore;
Thanks be to God that such have been,
Although they are no more!
More homelike seems the vast unknown,
Since they have entered there;
To follow them were not so hard,
Wherever they may fare.
They cannot be where God is not,
On any sea or shore:
Whate'er betides, thy love abides,
Our God for evermore!
Rev. John W. Chadwick, 1840
12
What thou wilt, O Father, give!
All is gain that I receive.
Let the lowliest task be mine,
Grateful, so the work be thine.
Let me find the humblest place
In the shadow of thy grace:
Blest to me were any spot
Where temptation whispers not.
If there be some weaker one,
Give me strength to help him on;
If a blinder soul there be,
Let me smide him nearer thee.
Clothe with life the weak intent,
Let me be the thing I meant;
Let me find in thy employ
Peace that dearer is than joy;
'Tis hard to take the burden up
When these have laid it down:
They brightened all the joy of life,
Thev softened everv frown.
Out of self to love be led,
And to heaven acclimated,
Until all things sweet and good
Seem my natural habitude.
John G. Whittier. 1807
379
APPENDIX A
J3
How few who, from their youthful day,
Look on to what tjieir life may be,
Painting the visions of the way
In colors soft, and bright, and free!
How few who to such paths have brought
The hopes and dreams of early thought!
For God, through ways they have not
known,
Will lead his own.
The eager hearts, the souls of fire,
Who pant to toil for God and man;
And view with eyes of keen desire
The upland way of toil and pain;
Almost with scorn they think of rest,
Of holy calm, of tranquil breast;
But God, through ways they have not
known,
Will lead his own.
A lowlier task on them is laid, —
With love to make the labor light;
And there their beauty they must shed
On quiet homes and lost to sight.
Changed are their visions high and fair,
Yet, calm and still, they labor there;
For God, through ways they have not
known,
Will lead his own.
The gentle heart that thinks with pain,
It scarce can lowliest tasks fulfil;
And, if it dared its life to scan,
Would ask but pathway low and still, —
Often such lowly heart is brought
To act with power beyond its thought;
For God, through ways they have not
known,
Will lead his own.
And they, the bright, who long to prove,
In joyous path, in cloudless lot,
How fresh from earth their grateful love
Can spring without a stain or spot, —
Often such youthful heart is given
The path of grief, to walk in heaven;
For God, through ways they have not
known,
Will lead his own.
What matter what the path shall be?
The end is clear and bright to view;
We know that we a strength shall see,
Whate'er the day may bring to do,
We see the end, the house of God;
But not the path to that abode;
For God, through ways they have not
known,
Will lead his own.
Anonymous
14 (Burial of the Dead)
How blest the righteous when he dies!
When sinks a weary soul to rest,
How mildly beam the closing eyes,
How gently heaves the expiring breast!
So fades a summer cloud away,
So sinks the gale when storms are o'er,
So gently shuts the eye of day,
So dies a wave along the shore.
A holy quiet reigns around, —
A calm which life nor death destroys:
Nothing disturbs that peace profound
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears,
Where lights and shades alternate
dwell:
How bright the unchanging morn appears!
Farewell, inconstant world, farewell.
Life's duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say,
" How blest the righteous when he
dies! "
Mrs. Anna L. Barbauld, 1743
38o
APPENDIX A
15 (Resignation)
Vital spark of heavenly flame,
Quit, O quit this mortal frame!
Trembling, hoping, lingering, flying,
O the pain, the bliss of dying!
Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife,
And let me languish into life.
Hark! they whisper! angels say
" Sister spirit, come away."
What is this absorbs me quite,
Steals my senses, shuts my sight,
Drowns my spirit, draws my breath?
Tell me, my soul, can this be death ?
The world recedes; it disappears.
Heaven opens on my eyes; my ears
With sounds seraphic ring.
Lend, lend your wings; I mount, I fly I
O grave, where is thy victory?
O death, where is thy sting?
Alexander Pope, 1688
16 (Affliction)
O thou who driest the mourner's tear,
How dark this world would be,
If, when deceived and wounded here,
We could not fly to thee!
When joy no longer soothes or cheers,
And e'en the hope that threw
A moment's sparkle o'er our tears,
Is dimmed and vanished too: —
O who would bear life's stormy doom,
Did not thy wing of love
Come, brightly wafting through the gloom
Our peace-branch from above?
Then sorrow, touched by thee, grows
bright
With more than rapture's ray;
As darkness shows us worlds of light
We never saw by day.
Thomas Moore, 1779
17
The Lord is come. On Syrian soil
The child of poverty and toil,
The man of sorrows, born to know
Each varying shade of human woe;
His joy, his glory, to fulfill
In earth and heaven his Father's will,
On lonely mount, by festive board,
On bitter cross, — despised, adored.
The Lord is come. Dull hearts to wake,
He speaks, as never man yet spake,
The truth which makes his servants free,
The royal law of liberty.
Though heaven and earth shall pass away,
His living words our spirits stay,
And from his treasures, new and old,
The eternal mysteries unfold.
The Lord is come. In him we trace
The fulness of God's truth and grace;
Throughout those words and acts divine,
Gleams of the eternal splendor shine;
And from his inmost spirit flow,
As from a height of sunlit snow,
The rivers of perennial life,
To heal and sweeten nature's strife.
The Lord is come. In every heart
Where truth and mercy claim a part,
In every land where right is might,
And deeds of darkness shun the light,
In every church where faith and love
Lift earthward thoughts to things above,
In every holy, happy home, —
We bless thee, Lord, that thou hast come.
Dean Arthur P. Stanley, 1815
18 (Christmas)
" What means this glory round our feet,"
The magi mused, " more bright than
morn ? "
And voices chanted clear and sweet,
" To-day the Prince of peace is born."
38i
APPENDIX A
" What means that star," the shepherds
said,
"That brightens through the rocky
glen?"
And angels, answering overhead,
Sang," Peace on earth, good will to men."
'Tis eighteen hundred years and more
Since those sweet oracles were dumb;
We wait for him like them of yore;
Alas, he seems so slow to come.
But it was said in words of gold,
No time or sorrow e'er shall dim,
That little children might be bold,
In perfect trust to come to him.
All round about our feet shall shine
A light like that the wise men saw,
If we our loving wills incline
To that sweet life which is the law.
So shall we learn to understand
The simple faith of shepherds then,
And clasping kindly hand in hand,
Sing, " Peace on earth, good will to
men."
And they who do their souls no wrong,
But keep at eve the faith of morn,
Shall daily hear the angel-song,
" To-day the Prince of peace is born."
James Russell Lowell, 1813
4 Q ( Dedication of the Arling-
* & ton Street Church, Boston )
Thou great invisible — whose power
Calls countless worlds from realms of
night,
A humble temple in this hour
Baptize into thy living light.
•
Here teach the youthful heart to fling
Its tendrils 'round the sacred vine;
Redeemer, Lord, to thee we cling,
In the soul's temple make us thine.
Here joy a hope unchanging seek,
And faith the heart of love sustain,
And cloistered sorrow's sunless cheek
Warm with the hues of heaven again,
O dazzling star of Judah's night,
Here thy untiring vigil keep,
To Christian pilgrims lend the light
Which beacons o'er the eternal deep.
Miss Sarah H. Adams, 1823
20 ( For Children )
How pleasant is Saturday night,
When I've tried all the week to be good
Not spoken a word that was bad,
And obliged every one that I could.
To-morrow the holy day comes,
Which a merciful Father has given
That we may have rest from our toil
And prepare for the joys of his heaven
Anonymous
21 (Burial of the Dead)
Forget not the dead, who have loved, who have left us,
Who bend o'er us now from their bright homes above;
But believe, never doubt, that the God who bereft us
Permits them to mingle* with friends they still love.
Repeat their fond words, all their noble deeds cherish;
Speak pleasantly of them who left us in tears:
Other joys may be lost, but their names should not perish,
While time bears our feet through the valley of tears.
James T. Fields, 1816

APPENDIX A
2t2d (Burial of the Dead)
The shadow of the rock!
Stay, pilgrim, stay!
Night treads upon the heels of day;
There is no other resting-place this way.
The rock is near,
The well is clear,
Rest in the shadow of the rock.
The shadow of the rock!
Abide, abide!
This rock moves ever at thy side,
Pausing to welcome thee at eventide.
Ages are laid
Beneath its shade,
Rest in the shadow of the rock.
The shadow of the rock!
To angel's eyes
This rock its shadow multiplies,
And at this hour in countless places lies.
One rock, one shade,
O'er thousands laid,
Rest in the shadow of the rock.
The shadow of the rock!
To weary feet
That have been diligent and fleet,
The sleep is deeper and the shade more sweet
O weary, rest,
Thou art sore pressed,
Rest in the shadow of the rock.
The shadow of the rock!
Thy bed is made;
Crowds of tired souls like thine are laid
This night beneath the self-same placid shade.
They who rest here
Wake with heaven near,
Rest in the shadow of the rock.
Rev. Frederick W. Faber, 1814

APPENDIX A
Zo ( Ordination )
Christ to the young man said : " Yet one thing more
If thou wouldst perfect be,
Sell all thou hast and give it to the poor,
And come and follow me ! "
Within this temple Christ again, unseen,
Those sacred words hath said,
And his invisible hands to-day have been
Laid on a young man's head.
And evermore beside him on his way
The unseen Christ shall move,
That he may lean upon his arm and say,
" Dost thou, dear Lord, approve? "
Beside him at the marriage feast shall be
To make the scene more fair;
Beside him in the dark Gethsemane
Of pain and midnight prayer.
O holy trust! O endless sense of rest!
Like the beloved John
To lay his head upon the Saviour's breast,
And thus to journey on!
Henry W. Longfellow, 1807
(For his brother's ordination)
24 (Thanksgiving)
O would, my God, that I could praise thee
With thousand tongues, by day and night!
How many a song my lips should raise thee,
Who orderest all things here aright;
• My thankful heart would ever be
Telling what God hath done for me.
O all ye powers that he implanted,
Arise! keep silence thus no more;
Put forth the strength that he hath granted j
Your noblest work is to adore.
O soul and body, make ye meet
With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet.
Ye forest-leaves so green and tender,
That dance for joy in summer air;
Ye meadow-grasses bright and slender;
Ye flowers so wondrous sweet and fair:
Ye live to show his praise alone;
Help me to make his glory known.
384
APPENDIX A
O all things that have breath and motion,
That throng with life, earth, sea, and sky,
Now join me in my heart's devotion,
Help me to raise his praises high.
My utmost powers can ne'er aright
Declare the wonders of his might.
But I will tell, while I am living,
His goodness forth with every breath,
And greet each morning with thanksgiving,
Until my heart is still in death.
Nay, when at last my lips grow cold,
His praise shall in my sighs be told.
O Father, deign thou, I beseech thee,
To listen to my earthly lays;
A nobler strain in heaven shall reach thee,
When I with angels hymn thy praise;
And learn amid their choirs to sing
Loud alleluias to my King.
Rer. Johann Mentzer, 1658
Tr. Catherine Winkworth, 1829
25
Sow in the morn thy seed,
At eve hold not thy hand;
To doubt and fear give thou no heed,
Broadcast it o'er the land.
Beside all waters sow,
The highway furrows stock,
Drop it where thorns and thistles grow,
Scatter it on the rock.
The good, the fruitful ground
Expect not here nor there;
O'er hill and dale by plots 't is found:
Go forth, then, everywhere.
Thou know'st not which may thrive,
The late or early sown;
Grace keeps the precious germs alive
When and wherever strown.
And duly shall appear,
In verdure, beauty, strength,
The tender blade, the stalk, the ear,
And the full corn at length.
Thou canst not toil in vain;
Cold, heat, and moist, and dry,
Shall foster and mature the grain
For garners in the sky.
Then, when the glorious end,
The day of God, shall come,
The angel-reapers shall descend,
And heav'n sing, "Harvest home!,,
James Montgomery, 1771
3*5
APPENDIX A
26
Rise, God! judge thou the earth in might,
This wicked earth redress!
For thou art he who shall by right
The nations all possess.
Captive, in whose narrow cell
Sunshine hath not leave to dwell;
Sailor, on the darkening sea ; —
Lift the heart and bend the knee!
Before thee righteousness shall go,
Thy royal harbinger.
Then wilt thou come, and not be slow;
Thy footsteps cannot err.
Truth from the earth, like to a flower,
Shall bud and blossom then,
And justice, from her heavenly bower,
Look down on mortal men.
Warrior, that from battle won
Breathest now at set of sun;
Woman, o'er the lowly slain
Weeping on his burial-plain;
Ye that triumph, ye that sigh,
Kindred by one holy tie,
Heaven's first star alike ye see; —
Lift the heart and bend the knee!
Mrs. Felicia D. Hemans, 1794
The nations all whom thou hast made
Shall come, and all shall frame
To bow them low before thee, Lord,
And glorify thy name.
For great thou art, and wonders great
By thy strong hand are done:
Thou, in thy everlasting seat,
Remainest God alone.
John Milton, 1608
27
Child, amidst the flowers at play,
While the red light fades away;
Mother, with thine earnest eye,
Ever following silently;
Father, by the breeze of eve
Called thy harvest- work to leave; —
Pray: ere yet the dark hours be,
Lift the heart and bend the knee!
Traveller, in the stranger's land,
Far from thine own household band;
Mourner, haunted by the tone
Of a voice from this world gone;
28
O be not faithless! with the morn
Cast thou abroad thy grain !
At noontide faint not thou forlorn,
At evening sow again!
Blessed are they, whate'er betide,
Who thus all waters sow beside.
Thou knowest not which seed shall
grow,
Or which may die or live;
In faith and hope and patience sow!
The increase God shall give,
According to his gracious will, —
As best his purpose may fulfil.
O could our inward eye but view,
Our hearts but feel aright,
What faith and love and hope can do,
By their celestial might,
We should not say, till these be dead,
The power of miracle is fled!
Bernard Barton, 1784
386
APPENDIX A
29
O Lord, be with us when we sail
Upon the lonely deep,
Our guard, when on the silent deck
The nightly watch we keep.
We need not fear, though all around,
'Mid rising winds, we hear
The multitude of waters surge;
For thou, O God, art near.
The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm,
The ocean and the land,
All, all are thine, and held within
The hollow of thy hand.
As when on blue Gennesaret
Rose high the angry wave,
And thy disciples quailed in dread,
One word of thine could save;
Wake in our breasts the living fires,
The holy faith that warmed our sires!
Thy hand hath made our nation free;
To die for her is serving thee.
Be thou a pillared flame to show
The midnight snare, the silent foe,
And, when the battle thunders loud,
Still guide us in its moving cloud!
God of all nations, sovereign Lord,
In thy dread name we draw the sword;
We lift the starry flag on high
That fills with light our stormy sky.
From treason's rent, from murder's stain
Guard thou its folds till peace shall reign,
Till fort and field, till shore and sea
Join our loud anthem, " Peace to thee."
Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1809
So when the fiercer storms arise
From man's unbridled will,
Be thou, Lord, present in our hearts
To whisper, " Peace, be still."
If duty calls, from threatened strife
To guard our native shore,
And shot and shell are answering
The booming cannon's roar;
Be thou the mainguard of our host
Till war and dangers cease;
Defend the right, put up the sword,
And through the world make peace.
31
O stay thy tears! for they are blest
Whose days are past, whose toil is done:
Here midnight care disturbs our rest;
Here sorrow dims the noonday sun.
How blest are they whose transient years
Pass like an evening meteor's flight!
Not dark with guilt, nor dim with tears;
Whose course is short, unclouded,
bright.
QA (Written during the war
OU 0{ the Rebellion, 1864)
0 Lord of hosts, almighty King,
Behold the sacrifice we bring!
To every arm thy strength impart,
Thy spirit shed through every heart.
O cheerless were our lengthened way!
But heaven's own light dispels the
Rev. Edward A. Dayman, 1807 gloom,
Streams downward from eternal day,
And casts a glory round the tomb.
O stay thy tears! the blest above
Have hailed a spirit's heavenly birth,
And sung a song of joy and love :
Then why should anguish reign on
earth?
Rev. Andrews Norton, 1786
387
APPENDIX A
32
Rejoice, believer, in the Lord,
Who makes your cause his own :
The hope that's built upon his word
Can ne'er be overthrown.
Though many foes beset your road,
And feeble is your arm,
Your life is hid with Christ in God,
* Beyond the reach of harm.
Weak as you are, you shall not faint,
Or, fainting, shall not die;
For God, the strength of every saint,
Will aid you from on high.
Though sometimes unperceived by sense,
Faith sees him always near,
A guide, a glory, a defence:
Then what have you to fear?
As surely as Christ overcame,
And triumphed once for you,
So surely you that love his name
Shall triumph in him too.
Rev. John Newton, 1725
33
Thou art, O God, the life and light
Of all this wondrous world we see:
Its glow by day, its smile by night,
Are but reflections caught from thee.
Where'er we turn, thy glories shine,
And all things fair and bright are thine.
When day, with farewell beam, delays
Among the opening clouds of even,
And we can almost think we gaze
Through golden vistas into heaven, —
Those hues, that make the sun's decline
So soft, so radiant, Lord, are thine.
When youthful spring around us breathes,
Thy spirit, warms her fragrant sigh;
And every flower the summer wreathes
Is born beneath thy kindling eye:
Where'er we turn, thy glories shine,
And all things fair and bright are
thine.
Thomas Moore, 1779
34 Burial of the dead.
Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!
From which none everwrakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's power.
Asleep in Jesus ! O for me
May such a blissful refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
Waiting the summons from on high.
Asleep in Jesus! far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be ;
But there is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep.
A'argarct Mackay, 1802

1 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The strife is o'er, the battle done!
The victory of life is won;
The song of triumph has begun.
Alleluia!
2 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The powers of death have done their worst,
But Christ their legions hath dispersed;
Let shouts of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!
3 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
The three sad days are quickly sped,
He rises glorious from the dead;
All glory to our risen Head !
Alleluia!
4 Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee,
From death's dread sting thy servants free,
That we may live and sing to thee.
Alleluia !
Latin Hymn, 12th Century. Tr. Rev. Francis Pott, 1832.

Do no sinful action
Early, my God, without delay
Ere mountains reared their forms sublime
Eternal and immortal King
Eternal Father, strong to save
Eternal life, whose love divine
Eternal source of life and light
Every day hath toil and trouble
Far from mortal cares retreating
Far from my heavenly home
Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone
Father and friend, thy light, thy love
Father, at thy footstool see
Father! breathe an evening blessing
Father divine! before thy view
Father, give thy benediction
Father, hear the prayer we offer
Father, in thy mysterious presence kneeling
Father of all ! in every age
Father of light, conduct my feet
Father of lights, we sing thy name
Father of me and all mankind
Father of our feeble race
Father! the dearest, holiest name
Father, thy paternal care
Father, thy wonders do not singly stand
Father, to thy kind love we owe
Father, to us thy children, humbly kneeling
Feeble, helpless, how shall I
Fight the good fight with all thy might
Fling out the banner, let it float
For all the saints, who from their labors rest
For all thy saints, O God
For the beauty of the earth
For the dear love that kept us through the night
Forever with the Lord
Forget not the dead, who have loved
Forth from the dark and stormy sky
Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go
Forward! be our watchword
From all that dwell below the skies
From every stormy wind that blows
From Greenland's icy mountains
From the recesses of a lowly spirit
From the table now retiring
Give to our God immortal praise
Give to the winds thy fears
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Glory be to God on high
Glory to thee, my God, this night

FIRST LINE OF HYMN
Go forth to life, 0 child of earth
Go forward, Christian soldier
Go, labor on! spend and be spent
Go not, my soul, in search of him
Go to dark Gethsemane
God be with you till we meet again
God bless our native land
God giveth quietness at last
God hides himself within the love
God in heaven, hear our singing
God is in his holy temple
God is love: his mercy brightens
God is my strong salvation
God moves in a mysterious way
God of eternity! from thee
God of mercy, God of grace
God of our fathers, by whose hand
God of our fathers! in whose sight
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
God of the changing year, whose arm
God of the earth, the sky, the sea
God of the morning, at whose voice
God that madest earth and heaven
God, thou art good! each perfumed flower
Gone are those great and good
Grant to this child the inward grace
Grant us, O our heav'nly Father
Great God, and wilt thou condescend
Great God, how infinite art thou
Great God, the followers of thy Son
Great God, this sacred day of thine
Great God, we sing that mighty hand
Great ruler of all nature's frame
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
Guide us, Lord, a pilgrim band
Hail to the Lord's anointed
Hark! hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling
Hark! my soul! it is the Lord
Hark! the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Hark! the herald-angels sing
Hark! what mean those holy voices
He is risen! he is risen
He leadeth me! O blessed thought
Heal me, O my Saviour, heal
Hear what God, the Lord, hath spoken
Heaven is a place of rest from sin
Heavenly Father, God of love
Help us to read our Master's will
Here in a world of doubt
Hi^h in the heavens, eternal God
High let us swell our tuneful notes

FIRST LINE OF HYMN
O God, I thank thee for each sight
O God, I thank thee that the night
O God of love, O King of peace
O God, our help in ages past
O God, the rock of ages
O God, thy children gathered here
O God, to thee our hearts would pay
O God, we praise thee, and confess
O God, whose presence glows in all
O happy is the man who hears
O happy soul that lives on high
O help us, Lord; each hour of need
O here, if ever, God of love
O how the thought of God attracts
O it is hard to work for God
O Jesus, I have promised
O Jesus, thou art standing
O life that maketh all things new
O light of life, O Saviour dear
O little town of Bethlehem
O Lord, be with us when we sai.
O Lord of heaven, and earth, and sea
O Lord of hosts, almighty King
O Lord of life and truth and grace
O Lord, our strength in weakness
O love divine, that stooped to share
O love divine, whose constant beam
O love! O life! our faith and sight
O mother dear, Jerusalem
O Paradise! O Paradise
O perfect love, all human thought transcending
O render thanks to God above
O source divine, and life of all
O source of uncreated light
O spirit, freed from earth
O spirit of the living God
O stay thy tears! for they are blest
O thou great friend to all the sons of men
O thou, in all thy might so far
O thou, to whose all-searching sight
O thou who driest the mourner's tear
O thou who hast thy servants taught
O thou whose power o'er moving worlds
O thou whose own vast temple stands
O what the joy and the glory must be
O where are kings and empires now
O where shall rest be found
O worship the King, all-glorious above
O would, my God, that I could praise thee
Oft in danger, oft in woe

FIRST LINE OF HYMN
To thee, O God in heaven
To thee our God we fly
To thine eternal arms, O God
Unto thy temple, Lord, we come
Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb
Up to the hills I lift mine eyes
Vital spark of heavenly flame
Wait on the Lord, ye heirs of hope
Waken! Christian children
Walk in the light! so shalt thou know
Walk with your God, along the road
Watchman, tell us of the night
We are but little children weak
We bless thee for this sacred day
We love the venerable house
We plough the fields, and scatter
We pray no more, made lowly wise
We three kings of Orient are
Weak and irresolute is man
Welcome, sweet day of rest
We're soldiers on duty, the foe is at hand
What is this that stirs within
What means this glory round our feet
What secret hand, at morning light
What thou wilt, O Father, give
When all thy mercies, O my God
When, as returns this solemn day
When before thy throne we kneel
When, driven by oppression's rod
When I survey life's varied scene
When I survey the wondrous cross
When Israel, of the Lord beloved
When morning gilds the skies
When our heads are bowed with woe
When the Paschal evening fell
When winds are raging o'er the upper ocean
Where ancient forests widely spread
While shepherds watched their flocks
While thee I seek, protecting power
While, with ceaseless course, the sun
Who are these in bright array
With silence only as their benediction
Worship, honor, glory, blessing
Ye Christian heralds! go, proclaim
Ye followers of the Prince of peace
Ye golden lamps of heaven! farewell
Ye humble souls that seek the Lord
Ye servants of the Lord
Years are coming — speed them onward
Yet, in the maddening maze of things
Yet sometimes gleams upon my sight
Your harps, ye trembling saints

408 A voice upon the midnight air
388 As pants the hart for cooling streams
406 Christ leads me through no darker rooms
392 Far from my heavenly home
394 Here in a world of doubt
397 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
400 I do not ask, O Lord, that life may be
399 In the hour of trial
398 Lead, kindly light, amid th' encircling gloom
405 Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee
387 Mighty God, the first, the last
407 My God, I thank thee! may no thought
395 O love divine, that stooped to share
389 O could our thoughts and wishes fly
391 O where shall rest be found
393 Our dead are like the stars by day
404 Still will we trust, though earth seem dark
