Preface
This book completes the Pilgrim series of hymn books. It is the Pilgrim
Hymnal enlarged, enriched and revised. It profits by the test of use in wor-
ship, new material which has come to light or gained favor, and the general
advance in the character of hymnals coming to be sought by churches and offered
to them. The Pilgrim Hymnal is now able more freely to pursue its distinctive
ideal, — a book of moderate size, admitting nothing which has not poetical or
musical merit, no verse which is not a hymn lyrical and worshipful, no tune
which is not singable, devout, and congenial to its appointed hymn ; hospitable
to the new from every source, yet giving the larger place to the old hymns
and tunes of proved worth and enduring vitality. Any congregation will find
itself at home in this book, meeting at every opening known and loved
hymns and their familiar tunes. Hymns that have not been wisely mated by
earlier custom are fitted with worthy and expressive tunes. For this purpose,
and to serve peculiar meters, some welcome additions in music less familiar or
wholly new will be found. New hymns also, timely and beautiful, the better
enable the book in this edition *' to respond to the yearning of the life and
faith of to-day for more hymns to express communion with God in his near-
ness and living presence, fellowship with Christ, enthusiasm for humanity, the
passion of service, and consecration to the Kingdom of God on earth."
In the editing of the hymns, no pains have been spared, to recover the ori-
ginal text, which is given preference unless some variation has rightly become
established or is clearly needed to remove offence and better fit the hymn for
singing and worship, to choose such stanzas as make the hymn a unity, brief
enough to be sung as a whole, and so to classify the hymns as to encourage use
of the full resources of the book, and help interpret the hymns. Further to
define and bring out the meaning an expressive title is placed over each hymn.
When the title is one adopted by the author it is set in quotation marks.
Over translations the first line of the original is generally used as title.
To show that a hymn has in any particular been altered the author's name
is given in italics.
In the case of a few longer hymns parentheses are placed about the numbers
of such verses as may ordinarily be omitted in the interest of brevity and unity.
The hymnal, with new reason, may now claim to be " the product of the
churches for which it is prepared." It has been tried in their worship, and
reshaped in the light of their experience, approval and criticism. It loyally
maintains the continuity of hymnology in our free churches, for though catholic
Preface
in its inclusion of whatever is good, and serviceable for us, from hymns ancient
and modern of all communions, the substance of it consists of hymns which our
fathers sang and of present day successors of that stock.
Many generous and painstaking helpers have cooperated with us in the
making of this, as of the first edition, some of whom are gratefully named in
the Acknowledgments on page i, at the close of the book. Others no less willing
and serviceable must of necessity go unmentioned. No doubt they will count
their reward great, as we shall ours, if among the churches we have labored to
serve there shall be found of the Father more of such as he seeks, who worship
him in spirit and in truth: j

Far beyond these clouds of sadness.
Are the many mansions fair.
Far from pain and sin and folly.
In that palace of the holy,
I would find my mansion there.

By ten thousand voices greeted.

Loud shall be our voices yonder.
When before his throne we meet.

^ Psalm One Hundred and Four'
1 The earth where we dwell, that journeys in space,
With air as a robe thou wrappest around :
Her countries she turneth to greet the sun's face,
Then plungeth to slumber in darkness profound.
3 All seemeth so sure, yet naught doth remain:
Unending their change obeys thy decree :
The valleys of ocean stand up a dry plain,
Thou whelmest the mountains beneath the deep sea.
4 O God, thou art great ! no greatness I see,
Except thee alone, thy praise to record.
On all thy works musing my pleasure shall be :
My joy shall be singing, ' My soul, praise the Lord ! *

3 Salvation to God, who sits on the throne !
Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son.
Of Jesus the praises the angels proclaim.
Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.
4 Then let us adore, and give him his right.
All glory and power, and wisdom and might.
All honor and blessing, with angels above,
And thanks never ceasing, and infinite love.

2 That truth, O Lord, we seek,
In spirit meek and lowly ;
To all who learn or teach,
Give wisdom pure and holy.
In solemn awe we bend.
All wondering round thy throne ;
And thee, our Lord, our Hfe,
Our joy, our gladness, own.
3 All praise and thanks to thee,
Eternal Lord, be given.
For all thy help on earth.
For all our hopes of heaven ;

Praise is Comely
2 Thou who art beyond the farthest 4 Here, great God, to-day we offer
Mortal eye can scan.
Can it be that thou regardest
Songs of sinful man ?
Can we feel that thou art near us.
And wilt hear us ?
Yea, we can.
Of thine own to thee ;
And for thine acceptance proffer.
All unworthily,
Hearts and minds, and hands and voices.
In our choicest
Melody.
3 Yea, we know thy love rejoices 5 Honor, glory, might, and merit,
O'er each work of thine ; Thine shall ever be.
Thou didst ears and hands and voices Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
For thy praise combine ; Blessed Trinity :
Craftsman's art and music's measure Of the best that thou hast given
For thy pleasure Earth and heaven
Didst design. Render thee.

Who ran this earthly race,
And now, from sin released.
Behold the Saviour's face,
God's praises sound,
As in his light
With sweet delight
Ye do abound.
3 Ye saints who toil below.
Adore your heavenly King,
And onward as ye go
Some joyful anthem sing ;
Take what he gives
And praise him still.
Through good or ill.
Who ever lives.
4 My soul, bear thou thy part.
Triumph in God above.
And with a well-tuned heart
Sing thou the songs of love
Let all thy days
Till life shall end,
Whate'er he send,
Be filled with praise.

2 Though high above all praise,
Above all blessing high,
Who would not fear his holy name,
And laud, and magnify ?
3 O for the living flame.
From his own altar brought,
Xo touch our lips, our minds inspire.
And wing to heaven our thought !

And his salvation ours ;
Then be his love in Christ proclaimed
With all our ransomed powers.

The Lord your God adore ;
Stand up, and bless his glorious name.
Henceforth for evermore.

1 Lord of the worlds above.
How pleasant and how fair
The dwellings of thy love.
Thy earthly temples, are :
To thine abode
My heart aspires.
With warm desires
To see my God.
2 O happy souls that pray
Where God delights to hear !
O happy men that pay
Their constant service there !
Thev praise thee still ;
And happy they
That love the way
To Zion's hill.
3 They go from strength to strength.
Through this dark vale of tears.
Till each arrives at length.
Till each in heaven appears :
O glorious seat.
When God, our King,
Shall thither bring
Our willing feet !
4 God is our sun and shield.
Our light and our defence ;
With gifts his hands are filled ;
We draw our blessings thence.
Thrice happy he,
O God of hosts.
Whose spirit trusts
Alone in thee.

O Worship the Lord in the Beauty of Holiness
2 Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness,
High on his heart he will bear it for thee.
Comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness.
Guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3 Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness
Of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine:
Truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness.
These are the offerings to lay on his shrine.
4 These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
He will accept for the Name that is dear ;
Mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
Trust for our trembling, and hope for our fear.

Inhabitest the humble mind ; Thy former mercies here renew ;
Such ever bring thee where they come, Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
And going, take thee to their home. The sweetness of thy saving name.

To strengthen faith, and sweeten care.
To teach our faint desires to rise.
And bring all heaven before our eyes.

With thy gracious presence cheer us,
Hither let thy kingdom come.

Descend and clothe the ground ;
The liquid streams forbear to flow,
In icy fetters bound.

The fields no longer mourn ;

And bids the spring return.

(3) When night with wings of starry gloom
O'ershadows all the earth and skies.
Like some dark beauteous bird whose plume
Is sparkling with unnumbered eyes, —
That sacred gloom, those fires divine,
So grand, so countless. Lord, are thine.
4 When youthful spring around us breathes.
Thy Spirit warms her fragrant sigh ;
And every flower the summer wreathes
Is born beneath that kindling eye :
Where'er we turn, thy glories shine.
And all things fair and bright are thine.

Night and noonlight. Praise him ever.
Starry temples azure-floored, PVom the mountain's deep vein poured;

Breeze that floats with genial gladness, Troubled torrent, madly rushing.
Praise ye, praise ye, God the Lord !

Pulse of waters blithely beating.

Each glad soul its free course winging,
Each blithe voice its free song singing,

To our fathers in distress ;
Praise him, still the same forever.
Slow to chide, and swift to bless.
Praise him ! praise him !
Glorious in his faithfulness !
3 Father-like he tends and spares us ;
Well our feeble frame he knows ;
In his hands he gentlv bears us,
Rescues us from all our foes.
Praise him ! praise him !
Widely as his mercy flows !

Ye behold him face to face ;
Sun and moon, bow down before him ;
Dwellers all in time and space.
Praise him ! praise him !
Praise with us the God of grace !

2 Nor shall fail from memory's treasure 3 Full of kindness and compassion,
Works by love and mercy wrought, Slow to anger, vast in love,
Works of love surpassing measure, God is good to all creation ;
Works of mercy passing thought. All his works his goodness prove.
4 All thy works, O Lord, shall bless thee,
Thee shall all thy saints adore,
King supreme shall they confess thee.
And proclaim thy sovereign power.

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 by all-commanding might.
Filled the new-made world with light.
He the golden-tressed sun
Caused all day his course to run ;
Th' horned moon to shine by night,
'Mid her spangled sisters bright.
He his chosen race did bless.
In the wasteful wilderness -,
He hath, with a piteous eye,
Looked upon our misery.
5 All things living he doth feed.
His full hand supplies their need ;
For his mercies aye endure.
Ever faithful, ever sure.

^Praise for Creation and Providence^
I sing the almighty power of God,
That made the mountains rise.
That spread the flowing seas abroad.
And built the lofty skies.
I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day ;
The moon shines full at his command.
And all the stars obey.
I sing the goodness of the Lord,
That filled the earth with food.
And formed the creatures with his word.
And then pronounced them good.
4 Lord, how thy wonders are displayed
Where'er I turn mine eye ;
If I survey the ground I tread.
Or gaze upon the sky !
(5) There's not a plant or flower below
But makes thy glories known ;
And clouds arise, and tempests blow,
By order from thy throne.
6 Creatures that borrow life from thee
Are subject to thy care ; [flee.
There's not a place where we can
But God is present there.

How wonderful, how beautiful, 4 Yet I may love thee, too, O Lord,
The sight of thee must be, — Almighty as thou art.
Thine endless wisdom, boundless power. For thou hast stooped to ask of me
And awful purity ! The love of my poor heart.
O how I fear thee, living God,
With deepest, tenderest fears ;
And worship thee with trembling hope,
And penitential tears!
(5) No earthly father loves like thee.
No mother half so mild
Bears and forbears as thou hast done
With me, thy sinful child.

I Thou, Lord, art love, and everywhere 4 Thy thoughts are love, and Jesus is
'Love in Air
Thy name is brightly shown.
Beneath, on earth thy footstool fair.
Above, in heaven thy throne.
2 Thy word is love ; in lines of gold
There mercy prints its trace ;
In nature we thy steps behold.
The gospel shows thy face.
3 Thy ways are love; though they trans-
cend
Our feeble range of sight, [end
They wind through darkness to their
In everlasting light.
The living voice they find ;
His love lights up the vast abyss
Of the eternal mind.
Thy chastisements are love; more deep
They stamp the seal divine,
And by a sweet compulsion keep
Our spirits nearer thine.
Thy heaven is the abode of love ;
O blessed Lord, that we
May there, when time's deep shades
remove.
Be gathered home to thee !

Love Passing Knowledge
There's a vvideness in God's mercy
Like the wideness of the sea ;
There's a kindness in his justice,
Which is more than liberty ;
There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good ;
There is mercy with the Saviour,
There is healing in his blood :
For the love of God is broader
Than the measures of man's mind.
And the heart of the Eternal
Is most wonderfully kind.
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.

Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream.
Bears all its sons away :
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6 Our God, our help in ages past.
Our hope for years to come.
Be thou our guard while troubles last.
And our eternal home.
Isaac Watts, 1719

* Thy Kingdom is Now at Handy and Thou Standing at the Door*
1 Our God, our God, thou shinest here. Doth not he still the church extend.
Thine own this latter day.
To us thy radiant steps appear.
Here leads thy glorious way.
2 Not only olden ages felt
The presence of the Lord ;
Not only with the fathers dwelt
Thy Spirit and thy Word :
3 Doth not the Spirit still descend
And bring the heavenly lire .''
And waiting souls inspire ?
4 Come, Holy Ghost, in us arise :
Be this thy mighty hour ;
And make thy willing people wise
To know thy day of power.
5 Pour down thy fire in us to glow,
Thy might in us to dwell :
Again thy works of wonder show,
Thy blessed secrets tell.

From Everlasting to Everlasting Thou art God
Great God, how infinite art thou ! 3 Eternity with all its years
How frail and helpless we !
Let the whole race of creatures
bow.
And pay their praise to thee.
2 Thy throne eternal ages stood,
Ere seas or stars were made :
Thou art the ever-living God,
Were all the nations dead.
Stands present in thy view ;
To thee there's nothing old appears ;
To thee there's nothing new.

And vexed with trifling cares,
While thine eternal thought moves on
Thine undisturbed affairs.

T^^ Golden Chain*
The fire divine their steps that led
Still goeth bright before us,
The heavenly shield around them spread,
Is still high holden o'er us ;
The grace those sinners that subdued.
The strength those weaklings that re-
newed.
Doth vanquish, doth restore us.
Their joy unto their Lord we bring.
Their song to us descendeth ;
The Spirit who in them did sing
To us his music lendeth :
His song in them, in us, is one ;
We raise it high, we send it on,
The song that never endeth.
Ye saints to come, take up the strain.
The same sweet theme endeavor ;
Unbroken be the golden chain,
Keep on the song for ever ;
Safe in the same dear dwelling-place.
Rich with the same eternal grace.
Bless the same boundless Giver.

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

Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie.
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.

7. 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 behavior,
And calming passion's fierce and stormy gales.
4 O Holy Ghost, the lyord and the Life-giver,
Thine is the quickening power that gives increase j
From thee have flowed, as from a pleasant river.
Our plenty, wealth, prosperity and peace.
5 O Triune God, with heart and voice adoring.
Praise we the goodness that doth crown our days ;
Pray we that thou wilt hear us, still imploring
Thy love and favor kept to us always.

Fulfil thy perfect thought : We see thee in the sun ;
The ancient paths the fathers trod And praise thee that the years proclaim
Are widening out to pathways broad. Thy justice and thy love the sam_e,
Because thy hand hath wrought. And joy and duty one.
2 Our sires adored and worshiped thee, 4 Dear Father, — kind when most severe.
Yet feared beneath thy rod ;
For clearer light, by which we see
Thy judgments and thy grace agree,
We bless thee, O our God.
Most loving when most just ;
To lead us on from year to year.
In pastures wide by waters clear.
Thy guiding hand we trust.

* Visit Me with Thy Salvation '
2 Wilt thou not visit me ?
The morning calls on me with cheering tone.
And every hill and tree
Has but one voice, the voice of thee alone.
3 Come, for I need thy love
More than the flower the dew, or grass the rain ;
Come, like thy holy Dove,
And, swift-descending, bid me live again.
4 Yes, thou wilt visit me ;
Nor plant nor tree thine eye delights so well,
As when, from sin set free,
Man's spirit comes with thine in peace to dwell.
Jones Very, 1839

The Word within Thee
1 I pray for faith, I long to trust ;
I listen with my heart, and hear
A voice without a sound, — ' Be just,
Be true, be merciful, revere
The Word withinthee: God is near.'
2 O joy supreme ! I know the Voice,
Like none beside on earth or sea ;
Yea, more, O soul of mine, rejoice !
By all that he requires of me
I know what God himself must be.
3 No picture to my aid I call,
I shape no image in my prayer ;
I only know in him is all
Of life, light, beauty, everywhere.
Eternal Goodness here and there.
4 I fear no more. The clouded face
Of Nature smiles: through all her
things
Of time and space and sense I trace
The moving of the Spirit's wings,
And hear the song of hope she sings.

2 What heart can comprehend thy name, 3 Yet, though I know thee but in part,
Or, searching, find thee out, I ask not, Lord, for more :
Who art within, a quickening flame, Enough for me to know thou art,

That makes the darkest way I go

'■Whom hut Thee'
2 Below all depths thy saving mercy lies,
Through thickest glooms I see thy light arise;
Above the highest heavens thou art not found
More surely than within this earthly round.
3 Take part with me against these doubts that rise
And seek to throne thee far in distant skies ;
Take part with me against this self that dares
Assume the burden of these sins and cares.
4 How shall I call thee who art always here ?
How shall I praise thee who art still most dear ?
What may I give thee, save what thou hast given ?
And whom but thee have I in earth or heaven ?

And serve thee when I'm glad.
Thomas T. Lynch, 1855
73 (BATTELL) L. M. ' The Spirit-Land'
1 P'ather, 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.

1 Blest are the pure in heart.
For they shall see our God ;
The secret of the Lord is theirs.
Their soul is Christ's abode.
2 The Lord who left the sky
Our life and peace to bring,
And dwelt in lowliness with men.
Their pattern and their King, —
3 Still to the lowly soul
He doth himself impart.
And for his cradle and his throne
Chooseth the pure in heart.

2 Come as the light ; to waiting minds, 4 Come as the dew ; on hearts that pine
That long the truth to know,
Reveal the narrow path of right,
The way of duty show.
Come as the fire ; enkindle now
The sacrificial flame,
That all our souls an offering be
To our Redeemer's name.
Descend in this still hour,
Till every barren place shall own
With joy thy quickening power.
Come as the wind ; sweep clean away
What dead within us lies.
And search and freshen all our souls
With living energies.

2 Lord, we are weak without thine aid, 4 For thy blest coming us prepare.
Without thy help are blind : As spring's soft showers, the earth,
' Ask and receive,' hast thou not said ? That we may in the harvest share,
And, ' Seek and ye shall find ? ' The soul's new life and birth.

May we thy word believe.
Thy faithfulness unfailing prove.
And thy best gift receive !

(2) I ask no dream, no prophet-ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay.
No angel-visitant, no opening skies ;
But take the dimness of my soul away.
3 Hast thou not bid us love thee, God and King,
All, all thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind ?
I see thy cross — there teach my heart to cling :
O let me seek thee, and O let me find !
4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh ;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh ;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer;
5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love.
One holy passion filling all my frame, —
The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,
My heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

And to the waiting earth
The hidden thunders call.

Of earth, and air, and sky!
The God of glory comes
In gentleness and might,
To comfort and alarm.
To succor and to smite.

New gladness to begin.
And ancient wrong to end;

I heard the bells on Christmas day 4
Their old familiar carols play.
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men.
I thought how, as the day had come.
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men.
And in despair I bowed my head :
' There is no peace on earth,' I said,
' For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men.'
Bells '
Then pealed the bells more loud and
deep:
' God is not dead, nor doth he sleep ;
The wrong shall fail, the right pre-
vail.
With peace on earth, good-will to
men ':
Till, ringing, singing on its way.
The world revolved from night to
day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime.
Of peace on earth, good-will to men I

* Christ'' s Message '
2 He comes, the prisoners to release 3 He comes, the broken heart to bind,
In Satan's bondage held ; The bleeding soul to cure,
The gates of brass before him burst. And with the treasures of his grace
The iron fetters yield. To enrich the humble poor.
4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
Thy welcome shall proclaim.
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With thy beloved name.

2 A little child, thou art our guest, 3 Thou comest in the darksome night
That weary ones in thee may rest; To make us children of the light.
Forlorn and lowly is thy birth, To make us in the realms divine
That we may rise to heaven from earth. Like thine own angels round thee shine.
4 All this for us thy love hath done;
By this to thee our love is won;
For this we tune our cheerful lays.
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

Ah, Lord, who hast created all, "Within my heart, that it may be
How hast thou made thee weak and A quiet chamber kept for thee.
small,
That thou must choose thy infant bed 5 My heart for very joy doth leap,
Where ass and ox but lately fed ?
Were earth a thousand times as fair,
Beset with gold and jewels rare.
She yet were far too poor to be
A narrow cradle. Lord, for thee.
Ah, dearest Jesus, holy child,
Make thee a bed, soft, undefiled,

My lips no more their silence keep ;
I too must sing with joyful tongue
That sweetest ancient cradle-song,

While angels sing with pious mirth

Emmanuely God with Us
And art thou come with us to dwell, 4 Thy reign eternal will not cease ;
Thy years are sure, and glad, and
slow ;
Within thy mighty world of peace
The humblest flower hath leave to
blow.
And with thy guiding help we pierce
Life's labyrinth now no longer vain ;
The love that frees the universe
Hath made its broken story plain.
(3)The heart is glad for thee, — it knows 6 The world is glad for thee, the heart
None now shall bid it err or mourn. Is glad for thee, and all is well.
And o'er its desert breaks the rose And fixed and sure, because thou art,
In triumph o'er the grieving thorn. Whose name is called Emmanuel.
Dorothy Greenwell, 187.1
Our Prince, our Guide, our Love,
our Lord,
And is thy name Emmanuel,

Each waste, each peopled solitude,
Becomes a home for happy men.

The D ay-Spring from on High
2 And we are glad, and we will sing,
As in the days of yore ;
Come all, and hearts made ready bring,
To welcome back once more
The day when first on wintry earth
A summer change began
And, dawning in a lowly birth,
Uprose the Light of man.
3 For trouble, such as men must bear
From childhood to fourscore.
He shared with us, that we might share
His joy forevermore ;
And twice a thousand years of grief,
Of conflict, and of sin.
May tell how large the harvest sheaf
His patient love shall win.

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

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 !

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

2 Low at the cradle throne we bend, 3 For us the world must lose its charms
We wonder and adore ; Before the manger shrine,
And feel no bliss can ours transcend, When, folded in thy mother's arms,
No joy was sweet before. We see thee. Babe divine.
4 Thou Light of uncreated Light,
Shine on us. Holy Child ;
That we may keep thy birthday bright.
With service undefiled.

Seek the great Desire of nations.

2 'Peace on earth, good- will from heaven, 3 'Hasten, mortals, to adore him;
Reaching far as man is found;
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven;
Loud our golden harps shall sound.
Christ is born, the great Anointed;
Heaven and earth his glory sing:
Glad receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.
Learn his name, and taste his joy;
Till in heaven you sing before him.
Glory be to God Most High!'
Let us learn the wondrous story
Of our great Redeemer's birth,
Spread the brightness of his glory.
Till it cover all the earth.

Frbhlich Soil Mein Herze Springen
2 Hark ! a voice from yonder manger, 3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder :
Soft and sweet, doth entreat : Here let all, great and small,
* Flee from woe and danger ; Kneel in awe and wonder j
Brethren, come; from all doth grieveyou Love him who with love is yearning;
You are freed ; all you need Hail the Star that from far
I will surely give you.' Bright with hope is burning.
4 Blessed Saviour, let me find thee ;
Keep thou me close to thee.
Cast me not behind thee :
Life of life, my heart thou stillest,
Calm I rest on thy breast,
AH this void thou fiUest.

Adore the Mystery of Love
2 Then to the watchful shepherds it was told,
Who heard the angelic herald's voice : *■ Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
To you, and all the nations upon earth :
This day hath God fulfilled his promised word ;
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord.'
3 He spake : and straightway the celestial choir
In hymns of joy, unknown before, conspire;
The praises of redeeming love they sang.
And heaven's whole orb with alleluias rang :
God's highest glory was their anthem still.
Peace upon earth, and mutual good will.
4 O may we keep and ponder in our mind
God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind ;
Trace we the Babe, who has retrieved our loss,
From his poor manger to his bitter cross ;
Treading his steps, assisted by his grace,
Till man's first heavenly state again takes place.
113
Advent and Nativity
5 Then may we hope, the angelic thrones among,
To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song;
He that was born upon this joyful day,
Around us all his glory shall display ;
Saved by his love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to heaven's almighty King.

The Babe in the Manger
2 He came down to earth from heaven, 4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
Who is God and Lord of all,
And his shelter was a stable,
And his cradle was a stall:
With the poor, and mean, and lowly.
Lived on earth our Saviour holy.
Through his own redeeming love.
For that child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above:
And he leads his children on
To the place where he is gone.
3 He became our childhood's pattern, 5 Not in that poor lowly stable.
Day by day like us he grew.
He was little, weak and helpless.
Tears and smiles like us he knew:
And he feeleth for our sadness,
And he shareth in our gladness.
With the oxen standing by.
We shall see him; but in heaven,
Set at God's right hand on high;
When like stars his children rise
Singing praises in the skies.

We Have Seen His Star, and are Come to Worship
2 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 ?
3 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would his favor secure ;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration.
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
4 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 Thou who in a manger
Once hast lowly lain,
Who dost now in glory
O'er all kingdoms reign,
Gather in the people.
Who in lands afar
Ne'er have seen the brightness
Of thy guiding star.
Come to Thy Light
3 Gather in the outcasts,
All who've gone astray ;
Throw thy radiance o'er them.
Guide them on their way ;
Those who never knew thee.
Those who've wandered far.
Guide them by the brightness
Of thy guiding star.

2 As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger-bed.
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heaven and earth adore;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek thy mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare,
At that manger rude and bare.
So may we with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin's alloy.
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heavenly King.
Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past.
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds thy glory hide.

2 When manhood's brows are bent in 4 When shadows of the valley fall,
thought When sin and death the soul appal.
To learn what men of old have taught, One light we through the darkness
When eager hands seek wisdom's key, see —
Wise Temple Child, we learn of thee ! Christ on the Cross, we cry to thee !
5 And when the world shall pass away,
3 When doubts assail, and perils fright, And dawns at length the perfect day.
When, groping blindly in the night. In glory shall our souls made free.
Thou God enthroned, then worship
thee.

2 Such was thy truth, and such thy zeal, 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air
Such deference to thy Father's will, Witnessed the fervor of thy prayer ;
Such love and meekness so divine, — The desert thy temptations knew,
I would transcribe and make them mine. Thy conflict and thy victory too.

More of thy gracious image here :
Then God the Judge shall own my name
Amongst the followers of the Lamb.

1 O Child of lowly manger birth
On whose low cry the ages wait.
Lead us thy way, and every day
Guide us to see what made thee great.
2 O Jesus, youth of Nazareth,
Preparing for the bitter strife.
Wilt thou impart to every heart
Thy perfect purity of life ?
3 O Christ whose words make dear the
fields
And hillsides green of Galilee,
Grant us to find, with reverent mind.
The truth thou saidst should make us
free.
4 O suffering Lord on Calvary,
Whom love led on to mortal pain,
We know thy cross is not a loss
If we thy love shall truly gain.
5 O Master of abundant life
From natal morn to victory's hour.
We look to thee, heed thou our plea.
Teach us to share thy ageless power.

T>^(? Sweet Story of Old
I wish that his hands had been placed on my head,
That his arm had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen his kind look when he said,
' Let the little ones come unto me.'
Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go.
And ask for a share in his love ;
And if I now earnestly seek him below,
I shall see him and hear him above.
In that beautiful place he is gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven ;
And many dear children are gathering there.
For of such is the kingdom of heaven.
But thousands and thousands who wander and fall
Never heard of that heavenly home ;
I should like them to know there is room for them all.
And that Jesus has bid them to come.
I long for the joy of that glorious time.
The sweetest and brightest and best.
When the dear little children of every clime
Shall crowd to his arms and be blest.

2 Meek and lowly were his ways ;
From his loving grew his praise,
From his giving, prayer ;
All the outcasts thronged to hear,
All the sorrowful drew near
To enjoy his care.
4 Fill us, Lord, with thy desire,
All the sinful to inspire
With the Father's life ;
Free us from the cares that press
On the heart of worldliness.
From the fret and strife.
3 When he walked the fields, he drew 5 Lord, be ours thy power to keep
From the flowers and birds and dew. In the very heart of grief.

Room in My Heart for Thee
2 Heaven's arches rang,
When the angels sang
Proclaiming thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth
Didst thou come to earth,
And in great humility:
O come to my heart. Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
3 The foxes found rest,
And the birds their nest
In the shade of the forest tree;
But thy couch was the sod,
O thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
4 Thou camest, O Lord,
With the living word
That should set thy people free;
But with mocking scorn.
And with crown of thorn.
They bore thee to Calvary:
O come to my heart. Lord Jesus,
Thy cross is my only plea.
5 When heaven's choirs shall sing,
And her arches ring.
At thy coming to victory.
Let thy voice call me home.
Saying, ^Yet there is room.
There is room at my side for thee ; '
And my heart shall rejoice. Lord Jesus,
When thou comest and call'st for me.

He Laid Down His Life for Us
2 In life, no house, no home
My Lord on earth might have ;
In death no friendly tomb.
But what a stranger gave.
What may I say ?
Heaven was his home ;
But mine the tomb
Wherein he lay.
3 Sometimes they strew his way.
And his sweet praises sing.
Resounding all the day
* Hosannas ' to their King:
Then, ' Crucify '
Is all their breath;
And for his death
They thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done,
What makes this rage and spite .?
He made the lame to run.
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries !
Yet they at these
Themselves displease,
And 'gainst him rise.
5 Here might I stay and sing !
No story so divine ;
Never was love, dear King,
Never was grief like thine !
This is my Friend,
In whose sweet praise
I all my days
Could gladly spend.

Far more for others' sins, than all

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.'
2 Help us, through good report and ill, 5 Should friends misjudge, or foes defame,
Our daily cross to bear; Or brethren faithless prove.
Like thee, to do our Father's will. Then, like thine own, be all our aim
Our brethren's griefs to share. To conquer them by love.
3 Let grace our selfishness expel, 6 Kept peaceful in the midst of strife.
Lord, as to thy dear cross we flee.
And plead to be forgiven.
So let thy life our pattern be.
And form our souls for heaven.
Our earthliness refine ;
And kindness in our bosoms dwell,
As free and true as thine.

O may we lead the pilgrim's life.
And follow thee to heaven.

2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet,
Save in the cross of Christ, my God; Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
All the vain things that charm me most Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
I sacrifice them to his blood. Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
4 Were the whole realm of nature mine.
That were a present far too small ;
Love so amazing, so divine.
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

In the Cross of Christ I Glory
1 In the cross of Christ I glory, 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Towering o'er the wrecks of time ; Light and love upon my way,
All the light of sacred story From the cross the radiance streaming
Gathers round its head sublime. Adds more luster to the day.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy. By the cross are sanctified;
Never shall the cross forsake me ; Peace is there that knows no measure,
Lo ! it glows with peace and joy. Joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory.
Towering o'er the wrecks of time ;

(2) Thine own disciple to the Jews has sold thee ;
With friendship's kiss and loyal word he came :
How oft of faithful love my lips have told thee,
While thou hast seen my falsehood and my shame !
3 With taunts and scoffs they mock what seems thy weakness,
With blows and outrage adding pain to pain :
Thou art unmoved and steadfast in thy meekness ;
When I am wronged how quickly I complain !
4 My Lord, my Saviour, when I see thee wearing
Upon thy bleeding brow the crown of thorn.
Shall I for pleasure live, or shrink from bearing
Whate'er my lot may be of pain or scorn ?

* Christ Our Example in Suffering '
2 See him at the judgment-hall, 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb;
Beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned ; There adoring at his feet,
See him meekly bearing all ;
Love to man his soul sustained :
Shun not suffering, shame or loss ;
Learn of Christ to bear the cross.
149
Mark that miracle of time,
God's own sacrifice complete j
' It is finished ! ' hear him cry ;
Learn of Jesus Christ to die.
James Montgomery, 1820
7s. 61.
* Good Friday '
Throned upon the awful tree, 3 Hark that cry that peals aloud
King of grief, I watch with thee :
Darkness veils thine anguished face,
None its lines of woe can trace.
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold thee silent and alone.
Upward through the whelming cloud !
Thou, the Father's only Son,
Thou, his own Anointed One,
Thou dost ask him — can it be .?
' Why hast thou forsaken me .? '
Silent through those three dread hours, 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll
Wrestling with the evil powers. Darkly o'er my sinful soul.
Left alone with human sin. Thou, who once wast thus bereft.
Gloom around thee and within. That thine own might ne'er be left,
Till the appointed time is nigh, Teach me, by that bitter cry,
Till the Lamb of God may die. In the gloom to know thee nigh.
John Ellerton, 1875

2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil thy law's demands :
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone ;
Thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring.
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to thee for dress.
Helpless, look to thee for grace,
Foul, I to the fountain fly ;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath.
When my eyelids close in death.
When I soar to worlds unknown.
See thee on thy judgment throne, —
Rock of Ages, cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in thee.

Salve, Caput
2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners' gain :
Mine, mine was the transgression.
But thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Saviour !
'Tis I deserve thy place ;
Look on me with thy favor.
Vouchsafe to me thy grace.
Cruentatum
3 What language shall I borrow
To thank thee, dearest Friend,
For this thy dying sorrow.
Thy pity without end ?
O, make me thine forever !
And, should I fainting be.
Lord, let me never, never,
Outlive my love to thee !
Passion and Death
(4) And when I am departing,
O part not thou from mc !
When mortal pangs are darting,
Come, Lord, and set me free :
And when my heart must languish
Amidst the final throe,
Release me from mine anguish
By thine own pain and woe.
(5) Be near me when I'm dying,
O, show thy cross to me !
And for my succor flying,
Come, Lord, and set me free:
These eyes new faith receiving.
From Jesus shall not move ;
For he who dies believing.
Dies safely through thy love.

' Hymn for Easier '
2 Lives again our glorious King :
Where, O death, is now thy sting ?
Dying once, he all doth save :
Where thy victory, O grave ?
3 Love's redeeming vi^ork Is done,
Fought the fight, the battle won ;
Death In vain forbids him rise ;
Christ has opened Paradise.
Soar we now, where Christ has led.
Following our exalted Head ;
Made like him, like him we rise.
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail the Lord of earth and heaven !
Praise to thee by both be given :
Thee we greet triumphant now :
Hail, the Resurrection thou !

Victory over Pain and Death
1 Past arethecross,thescourge,the thorn, 3 And so in sorrow dark and drear,
The scoffing tongue, the jibe, the scorn. Though black the night, the morn is near;
And brightly breaks the Easter morn. Soon shall the heavenly day appear.
4 And when death's darkness dims our
2 Gone are the gloomy clouds of night ; eyes.
The shades of death are put to flight. From out the gloom our souls shall rise
And from the tomb beams heavenly light. In deathless glory to the skies.
5 Then let us raise the glorious strain.
Love's triumph over sin and pain.
Faith's victory over terror's reign. Alleluia !

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

2 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.
3 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.

Ich Sag es Jedem^ dass Er Lebt
1 And what I say, let each this morn 4 The fears of death and of the grave
Go tell it to his friend, Are whelmed beneath the sea,
That soon in every place shall dawn And every heart, now light and brave.
His kingdom without end. May face the things to be.
3 Now first to souls who thus awake 5 The way of darkness that he trod
Seems earth a fatherland ;
A new and endless life they take
With rapture from his hand.

* Perfect Through Sufferings *
1 The head that once was crowned 4 To them the cross, with all its shame,
with thorns With all its grace, is given,-
Is crowned with glory now ;
A royal diadem adorns
The mighty victor's brow.
2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is his, is his by right.

Their name an everlasting name.
Their joy the joy of heaven.
The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal Light,
3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below
To whom he manifests his love.
And grants his name to know.
They suffer with their Lord below,
They reign with him above, —
Their profit and their joy to know
The mystery of his love.
The cross he bore is life and health.
Though shame and death to him, —
His people's hope, his people's wealth.
Their everlasting theme.

Hymned by the firstborn sons of light, 'Lift up your heads, for you he waits.'
Re-echoed now, ' Good will ! ' Amen f ' We lift them up, Amen, Amen ' '

Rich the trophies Jesus brings ;
In the seat of power enthrone him,
While the vault of heaven rings.
Crown him ! crown him,
Crown the Saviour, King of kings !
3 Sinners in derision crowned him,
Mocking thus the Saviour's claim ;
Saints and angels crowd around him.
Crown him ! crown him !
Spread abroad the Victor's fame.

Hark, those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station :
O what joy the sight affords !

Who from his altar call ; The wormwood and the gall.
Extol the stem of Jesse's rod, Go, spread your trophies at his feet.
And crown him Lord of all. And crown him Lord of all.

Ye ransomed of the fall ; On this terrestrial ball.
Hail him, who saves you by his grace. To him all majesty ascribe.

That thou thyself hast trod;

When our hearts are bowed with care ;
Jesus comes again in answer
To an earnest, heartfelt prayer;
Alleluia ! Alleluia !
Comes to save us from despair.
3 Jesus comes to hearts rejoicing,
Bringing news of sins forgiven;
Jesus comes in sounds of gladness,
Leading souls redeemed to heaven;
Alleluia ! Alleluia !
Now the gate of death is riven.
4 Jesus comes in joy and sorrow.
Shares alike our hopes and fears;
Jesus comes, whate'er befalls us.
Glads our hearts, and dries our tears;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Cheering e'en our failing years.
5 Jesus comes on clouds triumphant.
When the heavens shall pass away;
Jesus comes again in glory, —
Let us then our homage pay,
Alleluia ! ever singing.
Till the dawn of endless day.

Which guides the nations, groping on their way,
Stumbling and falling in disastrous night,
Yet hoping ever for the perfect day.
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 truth, life, way, that thou hast given.

2 Thou hast arisen, but thou declinest never ;
To-day shines as the past :
All that thou wast, thou art, and shalt be ever.
Brightness from first to last !

Day fills up all its blue, —
Unfailing beauty, and unfaltering gladness.
And love for ever new !

O shine each mist away !
Banish the fear, the falsehood, and the fretting ;

To bring the Lord Christ down ;

Thorny proved the way I trod ;

Humbly I confess my sin ;
At thy feet, O Father, falling.
To thy household take me in.

Our Father, set us free.
2 O shouldst thou, from us fallen.
Withhold thy grace to guide.
Forever we should wander
From thee and peace, aside j
But thou to spirits contrite
Dost light and life impart,
That man may learn to serve thee
With thankful, joyous heart.
Our souls, — on thee we cast them,
Our only refuge thou !
Thy cheering words revive us.
When pressed with grief we bow ;
Thou bearest the trusting spirit
Upon thy loving breast.
And givest all thy ransomed
A sweet, unending rest.

We would be cleansed, O make us pure within!
We would be cleansed, for this we cry to thee;

I look at heaven and long to enter in;
But there no evil thing may find a home,
And yet I hear a voice that bids me ' Come.'
2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
In the pure glory of that holy land ?
Before the whiteness of that throne appear.?
Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.

2 O, we would bless thee for thy ceaseless care,
And all thy works from day to day declare :
Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned ?
Does not thine arm encircle us around ?
3 Alas, unworthy of thy boundless love.
Too oft with careless feet from thee we rove !
But now, encouraged by thy voice, we come,
Returning wanderers to a Father's home.
4 O, by that name in whom all fulness dwells,
O, by that love which every love excels,
O, by that blood so freely shed for sin.
Open blest mercy's gate, and take us in !

His are the hands stretched out to draw me near.
And his the blood that can for all atone.
And set me faultless there before the throne.

Rise against us one by onej Precious hours in folly spent;
Acts unworthy, deeds unthinking, Christian vow and fight unheeded;
Good that we have left undone; Scarce a thought to wisdom lent.
3 Hearts that far from thee were straying, 5 Lord, thy mercy still entreating.
While in prayerwe bowed the knee; We with shame our sins would own;

Common Prayer
2 Lord, on thee our souls depend ;
In compassion now descend,
Fill our hearts with thy rich grace,
Tune our lips to sing thy praise.
3 Send some message from thy word
That may joy and peace afford ;
Let thy spirit now impart
Full salvation to each heart.
4 Comfort those who weep and mourn,
Let th^ time of joy return ;
Those that are cast down lift up
Strong in faith, in love and hope.
5 Grant that those who seek may find
Thee a God sincere and kind ;
Heal the sick, the captive free.
Let us all rejoice in Thee.
William Hammond, 1745

' Lovest Thou Me*
1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord !
'Tis thy Saviour, hear his word ;
Jesus speaks and speaks to thee,
' Say, poor sinner, lovest thou me ?
2 ' I delivered thee when bound.
And when bleeding healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
(3) ' Can a woman's tender care
Cease towards the child she bare ?
Yes, she may forgetful be.
Yet will I remember thee.
4 ' Mine is an unchanging love.
Higher than the heights above ;
Deeper than the depths beneath.
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 ' Thou shalt see my glory soon,
When the work of grace is done ;
Partner of my throne shalt be :
Say, poor sinner, lovest 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 !

Prayer
2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh,
The falling of a tear,
The upward glancing of an eye
When none but God is near.
(3) Prayer is the simplest form of speech
That infant lips can try ;
Prayer the sublimest strains that reach
The Majesty on high.
(4) Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice
Returning from his ways.
While angels in their songs rejoice,
And cry, ' Behold, he prays.'
5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath.
The Christian's native air.
His watchword at the gates of death ;
He enters heaven with prayer.
6 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.
James Montgomery, 1819
218 BEATITUDO C. M.
'Make Me a Clean Hearty O God^
1 O for a heart to praise my God, 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
A heart from sin set free ; Believing, true, and clean,
A heart that always feels thy blood. Which neither life nor death can part
So freely spilt for me ; From Him that dwells within ;
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, 4 A heart in every thought renewed.
My great Redeemer's throne. And full of love divine ;
Where only Christ is heard to speak. Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
Where Jesus reigns alone ; A copy. Lord, of thine !
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart ;
Come quickly from above ;
Write thy new name upon my heart.
Thy new, best name of Love.

But, Jesus, draw thou nearer.
And shield my soul from sin.
O let me hear thee speaking
In accents clear and still.
Above the storms of passion.
The murmurs of self-will !

ALTIOR 6. 5. D. The Disciple's Prayer
I In life's earnest morning.
When our hope was high,
Came thy voice in summons
Not to be put by:
Nor in toil nor sorrow.
Weakness nor dismay,
Need we ever falter, —
Art not thou our stay?
2 Teach us. Lord, thy wisdom,
While we seek men's lore;
May the mind be humbled
As we know thee more;
Let the larger vision
Bring the childlike heart,
And our deeper knowledge
Holier zeal impart.

2 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.

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.
James Montgomery, 1834
{Concluded) The Disciple s Prayer
Should our faith be palsied
By the touch of doubt,
Should our hearts grow empty.
Faithless, undevout.
Lord, in mercy lead us
To our springs in thee.
Where are healing waters
Plentiful and free.
Save us. Lord, from seeking
Earth's unhallowed goals;
May our lifelong passion
Be the love of souls;
Let us live and labor.

Through the grace of Jesus,
By the Spirit's might.

Christus Der 1st Mein Leben
1 For me to live is Christ,
To die is endless gain ;
For him I gladly bear the cross,
And welcome grief and pain.
2 A pilgrimage my lot.
My home is in the skies ;
I nightly pitch my tent below,
And daily higher rise.
3 I fare with Christ my Lord,
His path the path I choose ;
They joy who suffer most with him.
They win who with him lose.
4 The dawn on distant hills
Shines o'er the vales below ;
The shadows of this world are lost
In light to which I go.
5 My journey soon will end.
My scrip and stafF laid down j
O, tempt me not with earthly toys !
I go to wear a crown.
6 Faithful may I endure.
And hear my Saviour say.
Thrice welcome home, beloved child.
Inherit endless day !

The Perfect Sympathy
2 Thou who hast trod the thorny road 3 There is no secret sigh we breathe
Wilt share each small distress ; But meets thine ear divine ;
The love which bore the greater load And every cross grows light beneath
Will not refuse the less. The shadow, Lord, of thine.
4 Life's ill without, sin's strife within, —
The heart would overflow.
But for that love which died for sin.
That love which wept with woe.

Grace to Help in
2 Other refuge have I none, 3
Hangs my helpless soul on thee ;
Leave, ah, leave me not alone !
Still support and comfort me:
All my trust on thee is stayed.
All my help from thee I bring ;
Cover my defenceless head
With the shadow of thy wing.
Time of Need
Plenteous grace with thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin ;
Let the healing streams abound,
Make and keep me pure within :
Thou of life the fountain art ;
Freely let me take of thee.
Spring thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.

2 Come, almighty to deliver, 3 Finish, then, thy new creation,
Let us all thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never.
Nevermore thy temples leave!
Thee we would be always blessing;
Serve thee as thy hosts above;
Pray, and praise thee without ceasing;
Glory in thy perfect love.
Pure and spotless may we be;
Let us see thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in thee!
Changed from glory into glory.
Till in heaven we take our place;
Till we cast our crowns before thee.

Among the sons of men;

He bled, he died to save me;
And not alone the gift of life.
But his own self he gave me:
Naught that I have mine own I call,

So kind and true and tender!
So wise a Counsellor and Guide,
So mighty a Defender!
From him who loves me now so well

2 Which of all our friends, to save us, 3 O for grace our hearts to soften !
Could or would have shed his blood ? Teach us. Lord, at length to love
But our Jesus died to have us
Reconciled in him to God :
This was boundless love indeed !
Jesus is a friend in need.

But when home our souls are brought,
We will love thee as we ought.

1 Ci for a thousand tongues to sing

The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace !
2 My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad.
The honors of thy name.
3 Jesus, the name that charms our fears.
That bids our sorrows cease ;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.
He breaks the power of reigning sin.
He sets the prisoner free ;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
He speaks, and, listening to his voice.
New life the dead receive ;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice j
The humble poor believe.

Nor can the memory find Nor tongue nor pen can show :
A sweeter sound than thy blest name, The love of Jesus, what it is

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds 3 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
In a believer's ear ! My Prophet, Priest, and King,
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds. My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
And drives away his fear. Accept the praise I bring.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole.
And calms the troubled breast ;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul.
And to the weary rest.
4 Weak is the effort of my heart.
And cold my warmest thought.
But when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
5 Till then I would thy love proclaim
With every fleeting breath ;
And may the music of thy name
Refresh my soul in death.

And earth hath ne'er so dear a spot I love thee, dearest Lord, and will,

Thou Conqueror renowned, Thou Fount of life and fire.
Thou Sweetness most ineffable. Surpassing all the joys we know.
In whom all joys are found ! And all we can desire !
2 When once thou visitest the heart.
Then truth begins to shine,
Then earthly vanities depart.
Then kindles love divine.
4 May every heart confess thy name,
And ever thee adore ;
And seeking thee, itself inflame
To seek thee more and more.

And ever in our lives express

Above All Praise
2 I'd sing the precious blood he spilt, 3 I'd sing the characters he bears,
My ransom from the dreadful guilt
Of sin, and wrath divine :
I'd sing his glorious righteousness.
In which all-perfect, heavenly dress
My soul shall ever shine.
And all the forms of love he wears,
Exalted on his throne :
In loftiest songs of sweetest praise,
I would to everlasting days
Make all his glories known.
4 Well, the delightful day will come
When my dear Lord will bring me home,
And I shall see his face ;
Then with my Saviour, Brother, Friend,
A blest eternity I'll spend,
Triumphant in his grace.

8.8.6.8.8.6 'Cast Thy Burden Upon the Lord'
O Lord, how happy should we be 3 Could we but kneel and cast our load,
If we could cast our care on thee,
If we from self could rest.
And feel at heart that One above.
In perfect wisdom, perfect love.
Is working for the best !
2 How far from this our daily life.
Ever disturbed by anxious strife,
By sudden, wild alarms !
O could we but relinquish all
Our earthly props, and simply fall
On thine almighty arms !
Even while we pray, upon our God,
Then rise with lightened cheer,
Sure that the Father, who is nigh
To still the famished raven's cry.
Will hear in that we fear !
Lord, make these faithless hearts of ours
Such lessons learn from birds and flowers;
Make them from self to cease.
Leave all things to a Father's will.
And taste, before him lying still.
Even in affliction, peace.

' The Lord is My Shepherd '
Where streams of living water flow 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill,
My ransomed soul he leadeth, With thee, dear Lord, beside me.
And where the verdant pastures grow Thy rod and staff my comfort still.
With food celestial feedeth. Thy cross before to guide me.
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.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight.
Thy unction grace bestoweth.
And O ! what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth !
263
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never :
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
Within thv house forever.
Henry W. Baker, 1868
CHISELHURST S. M.
Always Near
1 One gift, my God, I seek, —
To know thee always near.
To feel thy hand, to see thy face.
Thy blessed voice to hear.
2 Where'er I go, my God,
O let me find thee there ;
Where'er I stay, stay thou with me,
A presence everywhere.
3 And if thou bringest peace.
Or if thou bringest pain.
But come thyself with all that comes.
And all shall go for gain.
4 Long listening to thy words.
My voice shall catch thy tone.
And, locked in thine, my hand shall grow
All loving like thine own.

2 I thirst for springs of heavenly life, 4 The faith that, in a hidden way
And here all day they rise ; No other eye may know,
I seek the treasure of thy love, Finds all its daily work prepared,
And close at hand it lies. And loves to have it so.
3 Mine be the reverent, listening love 5 My heart is resting, O my God !
That waits all day on thee.
The service of a watchful heart
Which no one else can see ;
My heart is in thy care :

Resounding everywhere.

I There is a safe and secret place.
Beneath the wings divine.
Reserved for all the heirs of grace,-
O be that refuge mine !
3 He feeds in pastures, large and fair,
Of love and truth divine, —
O child of God, O glory's heir.
How rich a lot is thine !
2 The least and feeblest there may bide, 4 A hand almighty to defend,
Uninjured and unawed ; An ear for every call.
While thousands fall on every side. An honored life, a peaceful end.
He rests secure in God. And heaven to crown it all,

2 He leads me to the place
Where heavenly pasture grows,
Where living waters gently pass,
And full salvation flows.
3 If e'er I go astray.
He doth my soul reclaim.
And guides me in his own right way,
For his most holy name.
4 While he affords his aid,
I cannot yield to fear ;
Tho' I should walk thro' death's dark shade.
My Shepherd's with me there.
5 In spite of all my foes.
Thou dost my table spread ;
My cup with blessings overflows,
And joy exalts my head.
6 The bounties of thy love
Shall crown my following days.
Nor from thy house will I remove.
Nor cease to speak thy praise.

The Tender Mercy of Our God
1 Sweet is thy mercy. Lord ;
Before thy mercy-seat
My soul, adoring, pleads thy word.
And owns thy mercy sweet.
2 My need and thy desires
Are all in Christ complete ;
Thou hast the justice truth requires.
And I thy mercy sweet.
3 Where'er thy name is blest.
Where'er thy people meet,
There I delight in thee to rest.
And find thy mercy sweet.
4 Light thou my weary way.
Lead thou my wandering feet.
That while I stay on earth I may
Still find thy mercy sweet.
5 Thus shall the heavenly host
Hear all my songs repeat
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
My joy, thy mercy sweet.

2 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.
3 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 ;
And then new heart springs up in me. Thy providence turns all to good.
4 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 turnest my mourning into praise.

When I Awake I Am Still with Thee
(2) 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.
3 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.
4 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.

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.

Tell of his wondrous faithfulness.
And sound his power abroad ;
Sing the sweet promise of his grace.
And the performing God.

Speaks all the promises.

But whisper, ' Thou art mine,'

1 The Lord is my Shepherd, no want shall I know;
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?
4 Let goodness and mercy, my bountiful God,
Still follow my steps till I meet thee above;
I seek, by the path which my forefathers trod
Through the land of their sojourn, thy kingdom of love.

2 From the sword at noonday wasting,
From the noisome pestilence,
In the depth of midnight blasting,
God shall be thy sure defence:
He shall charge his angel legions
Watch and ward o'er thee to keep;
Tho* thou walk through hostile regions,
Tho' in desert wilds thou sleep.
3 Since, with pure and firm affection
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of his protection
He will shield thee from above:
Thou shalt call on him in trouble.
He will hearken, he will save;
Here for grief reward thee double,
Crown with life beyond the grave.

2 O Christ, whose voice the waters heard, 3 O Holy Spirit, who didst brood
And hushed their raging at thy word.
Who walkedst on the foaming deep.
And calm amid the storm didst sleep,
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea!
Upon the waters dark and rude.
And bid their angry tumult cease,
And give for wild confusion peace,
O hear us when we cry to thee
For those in peril on the sea!
4 O Trinity of love and power.
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe.
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
And ever let there rise to thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Thro' burning climes they pass unhurt,

At thy command is still.

Thy goodness we adore :
We praise thee for thy mercies past.

And stills the stormy wave ;
And, though his arm be strong to smite,

God shall appear, and we shall rise

His coming like the morn shall be,
Like morning songs his voice.
As dew upon the tender herb.
Diffusing fragrance round ;

When all created streams are dried,
Thy fulness is the same ;
May I with this be satisfied,
And glory in thy name.
No good in creatures can be found,
But may be found in thee ;
I must have all things and abound,
While God is God to me.
He that has made my heaven secure.
Will here all good provide ;
While Christ is rich, can I be poor ?
What can I want beside ?
O Lord, I cast my care on thee ;
I triumph and adore :
Henceforth my great concern shall be
To love and please thee more.

Of force I must love thee ;
Thou art my castle and defence
In my necessity.
2 My God, my rock, in whom I trust.
The worker of my wealth ;
My refuge, buckler, and my shield.
The horn of all my health !
3 I sore beset with pain and grief,
Did pray to God for grace ;
And he forthwith heard my complaint
Out of his holy place.
7 Thou teachest me thy saving health,
Thy right hand is my tower ;
Thy love and gentleness also
Do still increase my power.
(4) The Lord descended from above.
And bowed the heavens high ;
And underneath his feet he cast
The darkness of the sky.
(5) On cherub and on cherubim
Full royally he rode.
And on the wings of mighty winds
Came flying all abroad.
6 He brought me forth to open place,
That so I might be free ;
And kept me safe, because he had
A favor unto me.

To shake my faith in thee ; Thy face I cannot see ;
O give me strength. Lord, as my day. Then, Lord, arise with glorious light.
For good remember me. And still remember me.

' The Churches Safety and Triumph '
1 God is the Refuge of his saints 3 There is a stream whose gentle flow
When storms of sharp distress invade ; Supplies the city of our God ;
Ere we can offer our complaints. Life, love, and joy, still gliding through.
Behold him present with his aid ! And watering our divine abode.
2 Loud may the troubled ocean roar ; 4 That sacred stream, thy holy Word,
In sacred peace our souls abide, Our grief allays, our fear controls ;
While every nation, every shore. Sweet peace thy promises afford, [souls.
Trembles, and dreads the swellingtide. And give new strength to fainting
5 Zion enjoys her Monarch's love.
Secure against a threatening hour;
Nor can her firm foundations move,
Built on his truth, and armed with power.

2 Is health and ease my happy share ? 4 ' Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
O may I bless my God ! From every murmur free,
Thy kindness let my songs declare, The blessings of thy grace impart,
And spread thy praise abroad. And let me live to thee.

Thy sovereign hand denies.

* The Power of Faith '
1 O for a faith that will not shrink 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
Though pressed by many a foe. When tempests rage without.
That will not tremble on the brink That, when in danger, knows no fear.
Of poverty or woe ; In darkness feels no doubt ;
2 That will not murmur nor complain (4) A faith that keeps the narrow way
Beneath the chastening rod. Till life's last spark is fled,
But in the hour of grief or pain And with a pure and heavenly ray
Can lean upon its God ; Lights up a dying bed !
5 Lord, give me such a faith as this.
And then, whate'er may come,
I taste e'en now the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.

'Thy Way, Not Mine'
1 I dare not choose my lot ;
I would not, if I might :
Choose thou for me, my God j
So shall I walk aright.
Take thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow fill.
As best to thee may seem ;
Choose thou my good and ill.
3 Choose thou for me my friends.
My sickness or my health ;
Choose thou my cares for me.
My poverty or wealth.
Not mine, not mine the choice.
In things or great or small ;
Be thou my guide, my strength.
My wisdom, and my all.

Which comes from outward rest,

Till all life's discipline shall cease,

To do the will of Jesus, this is rest.

On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found.

In Jesus' keeping we are safe, and they.

The world's dull roar and din.
Still speak thy word of higher life.
Thou Voice within !
3 When burdens sore upon us press,
And vexing cares increase.
Spring thou a fount of quietness.
Our hidden Peace !
4 Though fond hopes fail,and joy depart.
And friends should faithless prove,
O save us from the bitter heart.
Indwelling Love !

2 For one thing only, Lord, dear Lord, I plead, —
Lead me aright.
Though strength should falter and though heart should bleed.
Through peace to light.
3 I do not ask, O Lord, that thou shouldst shed
Full radiance here;
Give but a ray of peace, that I may tread
Without a fear.
4 I do not ask my cross to understand,
My way to see;
Better in darkness just to feel thy hand.
And follow thee.

Like quiet night:
Lead me, O Lord, till perfect day shall shine.
Through peace to light.

* He Leads Us On '
2 He leads us on through all the unquiet years ;
Past all our dreamland hopes, and doubts, and fears
He guides our steps ; through all the tangled maze
Of losses, sorrows, and o'erclouded days
We know his will is done,
And still he leads us on.
3 And he, at last, — after the weary strife.
After the restless fever we call life,
After the dreariness, the aching pain,
The wayward struggles which have proved in vain.
After our toils are past, —
Will give us rest at last.

No careless slumber shall his eyelids close

Behold our God, the Lord, he slumbereth ne'er
Who keepeth Israel in his holy care.

And thee no sun by day shall ever smite;
No moon shall harm thee in the silent night.
4 From every evil shall he keep thy soul,
From every sin:
Jehovah shall preserve thy going out.
Thy coming in:
Above thee watching, he whom we adore
Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore.

Shouldst lead me onj
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!

Will lead me on.

Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

2 When obstacles and trials seem
Like prison-walls to be,
I do the little I can do,
And leave the rest to thee.
3 I have no cares, O blessed will,
For all my cares are thine ;
I live in triumph. Lord, for thou
Hast made thy triumphs mine.
4 He always wins who sides with God,
To him no chance is lost ;
God's will is sweetest to him when
It triumphs at his cost.
5 111 that he blesses is our good.
And unblest good is ill ;
And all is right that seems most wrong.
If it be his sweet will.

2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom, 4 And when my task on earth is done.
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, When, by thy grace,the victory's won,
By waters calm, o'er troubled sea, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Still 'tis his hand that leadeth me. Since God thro' Jordan leadeth me.
3 Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine, (5) He leadeth me, he leadeth me,
Nor ever murmur or repine ; By his own hand he leadeth me :
Content, whatever lot I see. His faithful follower I would be.
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. For by his hand he leadeth me.

2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth ;
Unhelped by thee, in error's maze we grope.
While passion stains and folly dims our youth.
And age comes on uncheered by faith or hope.
3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right ;
Blindly we stumble when we walk alone.
Involved in shadows of a moral night ;
Only with thee we journey safely on.
4 Lead us, O Father, to thy heavenly rest.
However rough and steep the pathway be,
Through joy or sorrow, as thou deemest best.
Until our lives are perfected in thee.

' Joy and Peace
1 Sometimes a light surprises
The Christian while he sings ;
It is the Lord, who rises
With healing in his wings :
When comforts are declining,
He grants the soul again
A season of clear shining,
To cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
We sweetly then pursue
The theme of God's salvation.
And find it ever new:
in Believing*
Set free from present sorrow.
We cheerfully can say, —
E'en let the unknown to-morrow
Bring with it what it may.
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.

And a heart at leisure from itself
To soothe and sympathize.
3 I would not have the restless will

In whatsoe'er estate,
I have a fellowship with hearts
To keep and cultivate.
And a work of lowly love to do
For the Lord on whom I wait.

2 Enough, that blessings undeserved 4 That death seems but a covered way
Have marked my erring track ; Which opens into hght,
That,wheresoe'er my feet have swerved, Wherein no blinded child can stray
Thy chastening turned me back ; Beyond his Father's sight.
3 That more and more a providence 5 No longer forward or behind
Of love is understood, I look, in hope or fear.
Making the springs of time and sense But grateful take the good I find,
Sweet with eternal good ; God's blessing, now and here.

1 I little see, I little know.
Yet can I fear no ill :
He who hath guided me till now
Will be my leader still.
3 He will not leave my soul forlorn,
I still must find him true.
Whose mercies have been new each morn
And every evening new.
2 No burden yet was on me laid 4 Upon his providence I lean.
Of trouble or of care. As lean in faith I must;
But he my trembling step hath stayed. The lesson of my life hath been
And given me strength to bear. A heart of grateful trust.
5 And so my onward way I fare
With happy heart and calm.
And mingle with my daily care
The music of my psalm.

2 Praise him when clouds are dark ;
True faith waits not to prove : [mark,
Tho' hope no brightening gleam may
His meaning still is love.
Praise him when drear and lone
The shadows round thee fall —
No eye upon thy sins but One —
Fear not ! he pardons all.
3 Praise him when home is sweet,
As though we ne'er should part ;
But pray, while kindred spirits meet,
Pray for a thoughtful heart.
Praise him when far away
On mountain or the sea ;
Each place is home to them who pray i
Thy Father guardeth thee.
4 Praise him when joyful songs
The saints on earth unite,
In sacred chorus, with the throngs
Of angels in the height.
At all times praise the Lord ;
His promises are sure :
Fear not, doubt not ; his steadfast word
Unchanging shall endure.

The Memory of His Goodness

Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those com forts flowed.
(3) ^^'^hen in the slippery paths of youth
With heedless steps I ran,
Thine arm unseen conveyed me safe.
And led me up to man.
5 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
6 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue ;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
(4) When worn with sickness, oft hast 7 Through all eternity, to thee
With health renewed my face ; [thou
And, when in sins and sorrows sunk.
Revived my soul with grace.

' Thy Will is Done '
O God, not only in distress.
In pain and want and weariness.
Thy tender Spirit stoops to bless.
Thy will is done.
But oftener on the wings of peace
And girt about with tenderness.
Thou comest,and all troubles cease, —
Thy will is done.
In all that nature hath supplied.
In flowers along the country side,
In morning light, in eventide,
Thy will is done.
4 In youthful days, when joys increase.
In light, in hope, in happiness.
In quiet times of trustful peace,
Thy will is done.
5 And when the burdened heart can bring
Its sorrows to thy feet and cling
Till hope surpasses sorrowing.
Thy will is done.
6 Thy will is pure, O Lord, and just ;
And we, frail creatures of the dust,
Through good or ill, can only trust
Thy will is done.

The voices that have mingled long
In joyous flow of mirth and song ?

Forall its sorrowinghours have taught.
For all we mourn, for all we keep.
The hands we clasp, the loved that sleep,

The stars that gild our darkening years.

When sickness, want, and tumults
This tho't comes with divinest peace,
It is thy will ; thy will be done.
With treasures of the fertile ground.
Bright, joyous let the anthem sound, — -
It is thy will ; thy will be done.

Make sweetest music through the day,
Most heartily we love to say, —

Are not as yet a dawning ;
The mists of night precede the light.
And usher in the mornine.

Thro' trouble, toil, and sorrow.
Thro' wind and rain, and tears and pain
The sun shall pierce, to-morrow.
2 Hopeon,hopeon! tho'blackthe clouds, 4 Hope on, hope on! tho' friends be few,
Black shadows intertwining. And dark the way before thee.
Yet calm and still, o'er heath and hill, A God of love from heaven above
The stars will soon be shining. Shall shed his radiance o'er thee.

Loving and blessing those who hate.
Returning good for ill.

So shall no part of day or night
From sacredness be free.

The Conquests of the Cross
1 'Mid the homes of want and woe, 4 To the weary and the worn
Strangers to the living word,
Let the Saviour's herald go,
Let the voice of hope be heard.
(3) Where the shadows deepest lie.
Carry truth's unsullied ray ;
Where are crimes of blackest dye,
There the saving sign display.
6 Be the banner still unfurled,
Still unsheathed the Spirit's sword,
Till the kingdoms of the world
Are the kingdom of the Lord.
William Walsham How, 1864
Tell of realms where sorrows cease J
To the outcast and forlorn
Speak of mercy and of peace.
5 Guard the helpless ; seek the strayed;
Comfort troubles ; banish grief j
In the might of God arrayed.
Scatter sin and unbelief.

Daily our lives would show
Weakness made strong.
Toilsome and gloomy ways
Brightened with song ;
Some deeds of kindness done,
Some souls by patience won,
Dear Lord, to thee ;
Some word of hope for hearts
Burdened with fears.
Some balm of peace for eyes
Blinded with tears.
Love s Offering '
Some dews of mercy shed.
Some wayward footsteps led.
Dear Lord, to thee.
4 Thus in thy service. Lord,
Till eventide
Closes the day of life.
May we abide ;
And when earth's labors cease,
Bid us depart in peace.

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

Precious fruits will thus be given
Through an influence all divine.

Whereon their hallowing influence And give this glorious world its crown
Would we go forth, O God, — Of truth and righteousness.

In human hearts to strive.
That all may learn to love and bear.

At eve hold not thy hand ;
To doubt and fear give thou no heed.
Broadcast it o'er the land ;
2 And duly shall appear.
In verdure, beauty, strength.
The tender blade, the stalk, the ear
And the full corn at length.
Cold, heat, and moist, and dry
Shall foster and mature the grain
For garners in the sky.

The day of God, shall come.
The angel reapers shall descend,
And heaven shout, Harvest-home !

^God^s Law and Love''
384 L.M.
1 O God, in whom we live and move,
Thy love is law, thy law is love ;
Thy present Spirit waits to fill
The soul which comes to do thy will.
2 Unto thy children's spirits teach
Thy love beyond the power of speech ;
And make them know with joyful awe
The encircling presence of thy law.
5 Such faith, O God,
That we may work
Who works for just
Who works in love,
3 That law doth give to truth and right,
Howe'er despised,a conquering might.
And makes each fondly worshipped lie
And boasting wrong to cower and die.
4 Its patient working doth fulfil
Man's hope,and God's all-perfect will,
Nor suffers one true word or thought
Or deed of love, to come to naught.
our spirits fill,
in patience still :
ice, works with thee,
thy child shall be.

Fellow Workers with God
2 Toil is no thorny crown of pain, We link them to the work of him
Bound round man's brow for sin; Who made all life divine,
Truesoulsfrom it all strength may gain, ^ Where'er thou sendest, we will go.
High manliness may win. Nor any question ask,
3 Our skill of hand and strength of limb, And what thou biddest we will do
Are not our own but thine ; Whatever be the task.

IVork Shall be Prayer
2 Yet these are not the only walls 3 Then let us prove our heavenly birth,
Wherein thou mayest be sought ; In all we do and know ;
On homeliest work thy blessing falls, And claim the kingdom of the earth
In truth and patience wrought. For thee and not thy foe.
Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart, Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought
The wealth of land and sea. As thou wouldst have it done.
The worlds of science and of art And prayer, by thee inspired and taught.
Revealed and ruled by thee. Itself with work be one.

The Blessing of Work
Work ye, then, while yet 'tis day ; 3 Working not alone for golcl,
Work, ye Christians, while ye may ;
Work for all that's great and good.
Working for your daily food.
Working whilst the golden hours.
Health, and strength, and youth are
yours,
Not the work that's bought and sold,
Nor as traffickers at marts.
But as fitteth honest hearts.
Working till your spirits rest
With the spirits of the blest.

' For Believers before Work '
1 Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go 4 Thee may I set at my right hand.
My daily labor to pursue, Whoseeyesmy inmost substance see.
Thee, only thee, resolved to know And labor on at thy command.
In all I think, or speak, or do. And offer all my works to thee.
2 The task thy wisdom hath assigned, 5 Give me to bear thy easy yoke,
O, let me cheerfully fulfil, And every moment watch and pray,
In all my works thy presence find. And still to things eternal look.
And prove thy good and perfect will. And hasten to thy glorious day ;
(3) Preserve me from my calling's snare, (6) For thee delightfully employ [given.
And hide my simple heart above, — Whate'er thy bounteous grace hath
Above the thorns of choking care. And run my course with even joy,
The gilded baits of worldly love. And closely walk with thee to heaven.

Mould every purpose of the soul ; near,
O'er all may we victorious be As our worst foe ourselves to fear, —
That stands between ourselves and Thy word our safety from alarm,
thee. Our strength thine everlasting arm.
3 Twice blest will all our blessings be, (5) And while we to thy glory live,
When we can look thro' them to thee, May we to thee all glory give.
When each glad heart its tribute pays
Of love and gratitude and praise.

L. M. ^The Character of a Happy Life'
I How happy is he born and taught, (3) Who hath his life from rumors freed,
That serveth not another's will.
Whose armor is his honest thought,
And simple truth his utmost skill.
Whose conscience is his strong retreat.
Whose state can neither flatterers feed,
Nor ruin, make oppressors great.
2 Whose passions not his masters are, 4 Who God doth late and early pray
Whose soul is still prepared for death, More of his grace than goods to lend,
Not tied unto the world by care And walks with man, from day to day,
Of public fame or private breath. As with a brother and a friend !
5 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.

Service Its Own Reward
1 Who calls the glorious labor hard ? 3 It may not be our lot to wield
Who deems it not its own reward ? The sickle in the ripened field,
Who, for its trials, counts it less Nor ours to hear on summer eves
A cause of praise and thankfulness ? The reaper's song among the sheaves.
2 And were this life the utmost span, (4) Now is the seed-time: God alone
The only end and aim of man. Beholds the end of what is sown ;
Better the toil of fields like these Beyond our vision weak and dim
Than waking dream and slothful ease. The harvest-time is hid with him:
5 Yet where our duty's task is wrought
In unison with God's great thought,
The near and future blend in one,
And whatsoe'er is v/illed, is done.

Still smite! still burn! till naught is left
But God's own truth and love ;
Then, Lord, as morning dew come
Rest on us from above. [down,
3 We fight for truth, we fight for God, 6 Yea, come! then tried as in the fire,
Poor slaves of lies and sin ! From every lie set free,
He who would fight for thee on earth Thy perfect truth shall dwell in us,
Must first be true within. And we shall dwell in thee.

For Strength^ Not Ease
2 Not for ever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be ;
But the steep and rugged pathways
May we tread rejoicingly.

Would we idly quiet stay ;
But would smite the living fountains
PVom the rocks along our way.

4 Be our strength in hours of weakness;
In our wanderings be our guide ;
Through endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side.
(5) Let our jiath be bright or dreary.
Storm or sunshine be our share,
May our souls, in hope unweary,
Makethy work our ceaseless prayer.

' Te shall Drink of My Cup *
1 O what, if we are Christ's,
Is earthly shame or loss ?
Bright shall the crown of glory be,
When we have borne the cross.
2 Keen was the trial once,
_ Bitter the cup of woe.
When martyred saints, baptized in blood,
Christ's sufferings shared below.
3 Bright is their glory now.
Boundless their joy above.
Where, on the bosom of their God,
They rest in perfect love.
4 Lord, may that grace be ours.
Like them in faith to bear
All that of sorrow, grief, or pain.
May be our portion here.
5 Enough, if thou at last
The word of blessing give,
And let us rest beneath thy feet.
Where saints and angels live.

To lift thy heart to God above,

By whom our faith is taught
To fear no ill, to light
The holy fight they fought :
Heroic warriors, ne'er from Christ
P ^y any lure or guile enticed.

As strong the battle rolls !
'Gainst lies and lusts and wrongs,
Let courage rule our souls :
In keenest strife. Lord, may we stand,
Upheld and strengthened by thy hand.
4 Not long the conflict : soon
The holy war shall cease.
Faith's warfare ended,— won
The home of endless peace :
Look up ! the victor's crown at length ;
March on, O soul, march on, with strength !

Standy ^it Tou Like
2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus !
The trumpet call obey,
Forth to the mighty conflict
In this his glorious day :
Ye that are men now serve him 4
Against unnumbered foes ;
Let courage rise with danger.
And strength to strength oppose.
3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus !
Stand in his strength alone ;
The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own ;
Men, Be Strong
Put on the gospel armor,
Each piece put on with prayer;
Where duty calls, or danger,
Be never wanting there.
Stand up, stand up for Jesus !
The strife will not be long ;
This day the noise of battle.
The next the victor's song :
To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be,
He with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally.

1 Lead on, O King Eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease.
And holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace ;

Nor roll of stirring drums.
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King Eternal :
We follow, not with fears.
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears :
Thy cross is lifted o'er us ;
We journey in its light ;
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might,

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

2 Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God :
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod :
We are not divided,
All one body we.
One in hope, in doctrine.
One in charity.
3 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.
4 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.

2 Jesus, Lord and Master,
At thy sacred feet,
Here with hearts rejoicing
See thy children meet :
Often have we left thee.
Often gone astray ;
Keep us, mighty Saviour,
In the narrow way.
3 All our days direct us
In the way we go,
Lead us on victorious
Over every foe;
Bid thine angels shield us.
When the storm-clouds lower;
Pardon, Lord, and save us
In the last dread hour.
4 Then with saints and angels
May we join above.
Offering prayers and praises
At thy throne of love :
When the toil is over,
Then come rest and peace,
Jesus in his beauty.
Songs that never cease.

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

2 Nearer, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to thee.
Deep in adoration
Bending low the knee :
Thou for our redemption
Cam'st on earth to die ;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high.
3 Great and ever greater
Are thy mercies here ;
True and everlasting
Are the glories there,
Where no pain nor sorrow.
Toil nor care is known,
Where the angel-legions
Circle round thy throne.
(4) Brighter still and brighter
Glows the western sun.
Shedding all its gladness
O'er our work that's done
Time will soon be over.
Toil and sorrow past.
May we, blessed Saviour,
Find a rest at last.
5 Onward, ever onward.
Journeying o'er the road
Worn by saints before us,
Journeying on to God ;
Leaving all behind us.
May we hasten on.
Backward never looking
Till the prize is won.
(6) Higher, then, and higher.
Bear the ransomed soul,
Earthly toils forgetting,
Saviour, to its goal ;
Where in joys unthought of
Saints with angels sing,
Never weary raising
Praises to their King.

2 Bright youth and snow-crovv^ned age, 5 Yes, on through life's long path.
Strong men and maidens meek, Still chanting as ye go ;
Raise high your free, exulting song,
God's wondrous praises speak.
3 With all the angel choirs.
With all the saints on earth.
From youth to age, by night and day.
In gladness and in woe,
6 Still lift your standard high,
Still march in firm array.
Pour out the strains of joy and bliss. As warriors through the darkness toil
True rapture, noblest mirth. Till dawns the golden day.
4 With voice as full and strong 7 At last the march shall end.
As ocean's surging praise. The wearied ones shall rest,
Send forth the hymns our fathers loved. The pilgrims find their Father's house.
The psalms of ancient days. Jerusalem the blest.

Where faith bids fear depart.

2 The kingdom of the Lord, — 3 The living waters flow
It Cometh not with show ; That fainting souls may drink ;
Nor throne, nor crown, nor sword, The mystic fruit-trees grow
Proclaim its might below : Along the river's brink ;
Tho' dimly scanned thro' mists of sin. We taste e'en now the waters sweet
The Lord's true kingdom is within. And of the tree of life we eat.
4 Not homeless wanderers here
Our exile songs we sing;
Thou art our home most dear,
Thou city of our King :
Thy future bliss we cannot tell,
Content in thee on earth to dwell.

2 Did we in our own strength confide, 3 And the' this world, with devils filled.
Our striving would be losing.
Were not the right man on our side,
Xhe man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be ?
Christ Jesus, it is he.
Lord Sabaoth his name,
From age to age the same,
And he must win the battle.
Should threaten to undo us ;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim, —
We tremble not for him ;
His rage we can endure,
For lo ! his doom is sure.
One little word shall fell him.
4 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.

One steadfast high intent,
One working band, one harvest song.
One King omnipotent.

From man's primeval youth !
How grandly hath thine empire grown
Of freedom, love, and truth !

One holy Church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Un wasted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by changing place.
of God^
How gleam thy watch-fires through
the night.
With never-fainting ray !
How rise thy towers, serene and bright.
To meet the dawning day !
In vain the surge's angry shock,
In vain the drifting sands ;
Unharmed upon the eternal rock
The eternal city stands.
Samuel Johnson, i860
Universal '
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.
2 From oldest time, on farthest shores, 4 The truth is her prophetic gift.
Beneath the pine or palm. The soul her sacred page ;
One unseen presence she adores. And feet on mercy's errands swift"
With silence or with psalm. 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 !

The brothers of thy well-beloved Son ;
Descend, O Holy Spirit, like a dove,
Into our hearts that we may be as one, —
As one with thee, to whom we ever tend,
As one with him, our Brother and our Friend.
3 We would be one in hatred of all wrong.
One in our love of all things sweet and fair,
One with the joy that breaketh into song.
One with the grief that trembles into prayer.
One in the power that makes thy children free
To follow truth, and thus to follow thee.

Our inspiration be thy constant word ;
We ask no victories that are not thine :
Give or withhold, let pain or pleasure be.
Enough to know that we are serving thee.

^ Hymn of the Church Militant^
Lord, thou canst help when earthly armor faileth ;
Lord, thou canst save when sin itself assaileth ;
Christ, o'er thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth :
Grant us thy peace, Lord, —
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;
Calm thy foes' raging.
Grant us thy help till backward they are driven ;
Grant them thy truth, that they may be forgiven ;
Grant peace on earth, or, after we have striven.
Peace in thy heaven.

2 Never flinched they from the flame.
From the torture, never ;
Vain the foeman's sharpest aim,
Satan's best endeavor :
For by faith they saw the land
Decked in all its glory.

With the victor's story.

Love that could not languish ;
And eternal hope o'ercame
Momentary anguish.

One message they proclaim,
One growing bond of fellowship,
Above all names one Name.

One Spirit's quickening breath.
One widening reign, from age to age,
Of freedom and of faith.
Though dead they speak to-day :
How great the cloud of witnesses

2 I love thy church, O God ; 4 Beyond my highest joy
Her walls before thee stand, I prize her heavenly ways.
Dear as the apple of thine eye, Her sweet communion, solemn vows.
And graven on thy hand. Her hymns of love and praise.
3 For her my tears shall fall.
For her my prayers ascend.
To her my cares and toils be given
Till toils and cares shall end.
5 Sure as thy truth shall last.
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of heaven.

'Love of the Brethren '
1 Blest be the tie that binds 4 When we are called to part
Our hearts in Christian love; It gives us inward pain.
The fellowship of kindred minds But we shall still be joined in heart,
Is like to that above. And hope to meet again.
2 Before our Father's throne 5 This glorious hope revives
We pour our ardent prayers ; Our courage by the way.
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one. While each in expectation lives.
Our comforts and our cares. And longs to see the day.
3 We share each other's woes,
Each other's burdens bear,
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tear.
6 From sorrow, toil and pain.
And sin, we shall be free.
And perfect love and friendship reign
Through all eternity.

Lord, from thine inmost glory send, 3 May erring minds that worship here
Within these courts to abide, Be taught the better way ;
The peace that dwelleth without end Andthey who mourn and they who fear,
Serenely by thy side. Be strengthened as they pray.

And pure devotion rise,
While round these hallowed walls the storm
Of earth-born passion dies.

The Meeting House
1 We love the venerable house (4) From humble tenements around
Our fathers built to God, — Came up the pensive train.
In heaven are kept their grateful vows. And in the Church a blessing found.
Their dust endears the sod. That filled their homes again ;
2 Here holy thoughts a light have shed (5) For faith, and peace, and mighty love.
From many a radiant face, That from the Godhead flow.
And prayers of humble virtue made Showed them the life of heaven above
The perfume of the place. Springs from the life below.
3 And anxious hearts have pondered here 6 They live with God, their homes are
The mystery of life. Yet here their children pray, [dust ;
And prayed the eternal Light to clear And in this fleeting lifetime trust
Their doubts, and aid their strife. To find the narrow way.
7 On him who by the altar stands.
On him thy blessing fall ;
Speak through his lips thy pure commands.
Thou Heart, that lovest all.

2 Thou call'st us from the strain of care 4 Wise patience is thy gift, and strength
And from the battle strife, For thee to toil, then wait
To win in quietude of prayer For harvest days that come at length.
Abundant life. And ne'er too late.
3 Thy call to fellowship how sweet !
With thee the silent mind
In thy great light itself can greet.
Its fulness find.
5 With thee the boundlessness we learn
Of good for us in store,
That, much received, we yet may turn
To thee for more.

Help me to look within,
I will not turn me from the sight
Of all my sin.

Our heart with joy is rife ;
No fear ! and see we e'en the grave
As Gate of Life.

3 Not mine the life I thought to live
When first I took his name ;
Mine but the right to weep and grieve
Over my shame.
2 Not mine the purity of heart
That shall at last see God ;
Not mine the following in the steps
The Saviour trod ;
4 Yet, Lord, I thank thee for the sight
Thou hast vouchsafed to me ;
And, humbled to the dust, I shrink
Closer to thee.
5 And if thy love will not disown
So frail a heart as mine,
Chasten and cleanse it as thou wilt.
But keep it thine.

I I hunger and I thirst,
Jesus, my manna be.
Ye living waters burst
Out of the rock for me
2 Thou bruised and broken Bread,
My life-long wants supply ;
As living souls are fed,
O feed me, or I die !
3 Thou true life-giving Vine,
Let me thy sweetness prove.
Renew my life with thine.
Refresh my soul with love.
4 Rough paths my feet have trod
Since first their course began;
Feed me, thou Bread of God ;
Help me, thou Son of Man.

My thirsting soul before;
O living waters, rise
Within me evermore !

' Te Do Show Forth the Lord's Death till He Come *
1 By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored.
We keep the memory adored.
And show the death of our dear Lord
Until he come.
2 His body broken in our stead
Is here in this memorial bread.
And so our feeble love is fed
Until he come.
3 His fearful drops of agony,
His life-blood shed for us we see;
The wine shall tell the mystery
Until he come.
4 And thus that dark betrayal night
With the last advent we unite,
By one blest chain of loving rite.
Until he come.
5 O blessed hope ! with this elate,
Let not our hearts be desolate.
But, strong in faith, in patience wait
Until he come.

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

Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 This is the hour of banquet and of song.
This is the heavenly table spread for me ;
Here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong
The brief, bright hour of fellowship with thee.
4 Too soon we rise ; the symbols disappear ;
The feast, though not the love is past and gone ;
The bread and wine remove, but thou art here
Nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.
5 I have no help but thine, nor do I need
Another arm save thine to lean upon :
It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed ;
My strength is in thy might, thy might alone.

Yet, passing, points to the glad feast above.
Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy.

That giveth joy to all, Whereon the weak may rest ;
Content to bloom in native bower, That so what health and strength I have
Although the place be small. May serve my neighbors best.

That comforteth the sad ;
That helpeth others to be strong.
And makes the singer glad.

2 There's a home for little children,
Above the bright blue sky,
Where Jesus reigns in glory,
A home of peace and joy ;
No home on earth is like it,
Nor can with it compare ;
For every one is happy,
Nor could be happier there.
3 There's a song for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
A song that will not weary.
Though sung continually,
the Little Ones'
A song which even angels
Can never, never sing ;
They know not Christ as Saviour,
But worship him as King.
4 There's a crown for little children
Above the bright blue sky,
And all who look to Jesus
Shall wear it by and by.
All, all above is treasured,
And found in Christ alone ;
Lord, grant thy little children
To know thee as their own.

2 Thou art our Holy Lord,
The all-subduing Word,
Healer of strife :
Thou didst thyself abase,
That from sin's deep disgrace
Thou mightest save our race.
And give us life.
(3) Thou art the great High Priest,
Thou hast prepared the feast
Of heavenly love :
While in our mortal pain.
None calls on thee in vain ;
Help thou dost not disdain,
Help from above.

Sound we thy praises high.
And joyful sing :

Who to thy Church belong.

May read, in characters of blood, Hereshines the light which guidesourway
The wisdom, power and grace of God. From earth to realms of endless day.

Received the gift divine,
And still that light she lifteth
O'er all the earth to shine.
It is the golden casket,
Where gems of truth are stored ;
It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.
3 It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled ;
It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world :

It is the chart and compass
That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and darkness,
Still guides, O Christ, to thee.
O make thy Church, dear Saviour,
A lamp of purest gold.
To bear before the nations
Thy true light, as of old !
O teach thy wandering pilgrims
By this their path to trace.
Till, clouds and darkness ended.
They see thee face to face !

With fervent prayer, —

By restless passions tossed.
Redeemed at countless cost.
From dark despair.
3 Christ for the world! we sing;

With us the work to share.
With us reproach to dare,
With us the cross to bear,
For Christ our Lord.

Reclaimed from error's ways.
Inspired with hope and praise.

2 See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above ;
While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey.
And seek the Saviour's blessing,
A nation in a day.
3 Blest river of salvation.
Pursue thy onward way ;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay ;
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, The Lord is come !

2 Light of the world, thy beauty
Steals into every heart,
And glorifies with duty
Life's poorest, humblest part ;
Thou robest in thy splendor
The simple ways of men,
And helpest them to render
Light back to thee agam.

3 Light of the world, illumine
This darkened earth of thine.
Till everything that's human
Be filled with the divine ;

From sin's dominion free.

Which springs from love and thee.

2 He comes with succor speedy
To those who suffer wrong,
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weaic be strong ;
To give them songs for sighing.
Their darkness turn to Hght,
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 For him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend.
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end :
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove.
His name shall stand for ever, —
That name to us is Love.

' The Sacramental Host of God*
2 A holy war those servants wage :
Mysteriously at strife,
The powers of heaven and hell engage
For more than death or life.
Ye armies of the living God,
His sacramental host, •
Where hallowed footsteps never trod
Take your appointed post.
3 Tho'fewand smallandwealcyour bands,
Strong in your Captain's strength
Go to the conquest of all lands ;
All must be his at length ;
Those spoils at his victorious feet
You shall rejoice to lay.
And lay yourselves, as trophies meet,
In his great judgment-day.
4 O fear not, faint not, halt not now ;
Quit you like men, be strong !
To Christ shall all the nations bow.
And sing with you this song, —
' Uplifted are the gates of brass,
The bars of iron yield ;
Behold the King of glory pass ;
The cross hath won the field ! '

Around thine open door.
While sin and darkness tremble,

* Prepare the Way of the Lord '
2 Behold how many thousands still are lying
Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin.
With none to tell them of the Saviour's dying.
Or of the life he died for them to win !
(3)'Tis thine to save from peril of perdition
The souls for whom the Lord his life laid down ;
Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission,
Thou lose one jewel that should deck his crown.
4 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious,
Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way.
Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious ;
And all thou spendest Jesus will repay.
5 He comes again : O Zion, ere thou meet him.
Make known to every heart his saving grace ;
Let none whom he hath ransomed fail to greet him,
Through thy neglect, unfit to see his face.

Be with the gospel light aglow. Away in light, from pole to pole,
And all men their Redeemer know, And endless day by every soul

Of grace that ever grows, [shore. With thine untroubled light.
Of truth that spreads from shore to ^ Light up thy Word; the fettered page

With hearts all unafraid. Through us thy radiance pour.

* The Glad New Time '
2 There shall meet the great and small We shall seek the valleys deep
In the glad new time,
Love shall be the lord of all
In the glad new time ;
From the mountains shall descend
Hearts of old that could not bend,
And the poor shall have a friend
In the glad new time.
3 We shall lift oppression's load
In the glad new time ;
We shall bear the cross of God
In the glad new time ;
Where the weary strive or sleep.
And convey them up the steep
To the glad new time.
4 There shall be a joy in heaven
In the glad new time ;
And God's resting shall be given
In the glad new time :
For his Sabbath shall be found
When the skies have touched the ground,
And the valleys shall resound
With the glad new time.

1 Sing we of the Golden City,
Pictured in the legends old :
Everlasting light shines o'er it.
Wondrous things of it are told.
2 Only righteous men and women
Dwell within its gleaming walls.
Wrong is banished from its borders.
Justice reigns through all its halls.
3 We are builders of that City,
All our joys and all our groans
Help to rear its shining ramparts ;
All our lives are building-stones.
4 For that City we must labor.
For its sake bear pain and grief;
In it find the end of living
And the anchor of belief.
5 And the work that we have builded,
Oft with bleeding hands, and tears,
Oft in error, oft in anguish.
Will not perish with our years.
6 It will last, and shine transfigured.
In the final reign of right ;
It will pass into the splendors
Of the City of the Light.

Shines on the eyes that will not see.
And waits to bless us while we dream,
Thouleavest us when we turn from

All hearts of prayer by thee are lit ;
And, dim or clear, thy tongues of fire
On dusky tribes and centuries sit.
3 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.

To all who sin and suffer ; more
And better than we dare to hope
Make with thy love our longings poor.

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.
2 He hath 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.

With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me :

For every martyr's stripe there glows a bar of morning bright ;

In conflict with unholy powers.
We grasp the weapons he has given, —
Thelight,and truth, andloveof heaven.
4 O make us, through the centuries long,
In peace secure, in justice strong;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards of thy righteous law;
And, cast in some diviner mold.
Let the new cycle shame the old!

2 The tumult and the shouting dies ; 4 If drunk with sight of power, we loose
The captains and the kings depart
Still stands thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet.
Lest we forget — lest we forget !
(3) Far-called, our navies melt away,
On dune and headland sinks the fire;
Lo, all our pomp of yesterday
Is one with Nineveh and Tyre !
Judge of the nations, spare us yet,
Lest we forget — lest we forget !
Wild tongues that have not thee in
Such boastings as the Gentiles use, [awe,
Or lesser breeds without the law, —
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet.
Lest we forget — lest we forget !
5 For heathen heart that puts her trust
In reeking tube and iron shard,
All valiant dust that builds on dust.
And guarding, calls not thee to guard.
For frantic boast and foolish word, —
Thy mercy on thy People, Lord !

2 Hers are riches, might and fame ;
All the earth resounds her name ;
In her roadsteads navies ride :
Hath she need of aught beside ?
3 Power Unseen, before whose eyes
Nations fall and nations rise.
Grant she climb not to her goal
All-forgetful of the Soul !
4 Firm in honor be she found,
Justice-armed and mercy-crowned,
Blest in labor, blest in ease.
Blest in noiseless charities.
545
5 Unenslaved by things that must
Yield full soon to moth and rust.
Let her hold a light on high
Men unborn may travel by.
6 Mightier still she then shall stand,
Moulded by thy secret hand,
Power Eternal, at whose call
Nations rise and nations fall !

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 Lord, while for all mankind we pray, 3 O guard our shores from every foe,
Of every clime and coast,
O hear us for our native land,
The land we love the most.
2 Here lies our fathers' sacred dust.
And here our kindred dwell,
Ourhomeishere, — how should we love
Another land so well ?
With peace our borders bless ;
With prosperous times our cities crown,
Our fields with plenteousness.

Of knowledge, truth, and thee;
And let our hills and valleys shout
The songs of liberty.

With steadfastness and careful truth. By deed or thought, to hurt the weak.
That, in our time, thy grace may give That, under thee, we may possess

Jerusalem Above,
2 No murky cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night ;
But every soul shines as the sun,
For God himself gives light.
There lust and lucre cannot dwell.
There envy bears no sway ;
There is no hunger, heat, nor cold.
But pleasure every way.
3 T^hy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green ; [flowers
There grow such sweet and pleasant
As nowhere else are seen :
Mother of Us All
Quite thro' the streets, withsllver sound.
The flood of life doth flow,
Upon whose banks on every side
The wood of life doth grow.
4 There trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring;
There evermore the angels sit.
And evermore do sing.
Jerusalem, my happy home.
Would God I were in thee I
Would God my woes were at an end.
Thy joys that I might see !

* Examples of Christ and the Saints '
2 Once they were mourning here below, 4 They marked the footsteps that he trod,
And wet their couch with tears ; His zeal inspired their breast ;
They wrestled hard, as we do now, And, following their incarnate God,
With sins, and doubts, and fears. Possess the promised rest.
3 I ask them whence their victory came ; 5 Our glorious Leader claims our praise
They, with united breath. For his own pattern given.
Ascribe their conquest to the Lamb, While the long cloud of witnesses
Their triumph to his death. Show the same path to heaven.
Isaac Watts, 1709

( ARLINGTON ) C. M.
The Land of Pure "Delight
1 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.
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 ;
3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood 6 Could we butclimbwhere Mosesstood,
Stand dressed in living green ; And view the landscape o'er, [flood.
So to the Jews old Canaan stood. Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold
While Jordan rolled between. Should fright us from the shore.

2 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.
3 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.
4 Rest comes at length; though life be long and dreary.
The day must dawn, and darksome night be passed ;
All journeys end in welcomes to the weary.
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last.
5 Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping:
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above :
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping.
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.

2 Thou who hast made my home of life so pleasant,
Leave not its tenant when its walls decay,
0 Love divine, O Helper ever present.
Be thou my strength and stay !
3 I have but thee, my Father, let thy Spirit
Be with me then to comfort and uphold :
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
4 Suffice it if — my good and ill unreckoned,
And both forgiven through thy abounding grace —
1 find myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fitting place, —
5 Some humble door among thy many mansions.
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving cease.
And flows forever through heaven's green expansions
The river of thy peace.
6 There, from the music round about me stealing,
I fain would learn the new and holy song.
And find at last, beneath thy trees of healing.
The life for which I long.

In the way the fathers trod ;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.

Zion's city is in sight ;
There our endless home shall be.
There our Lord we soon shall see.

He Turneth the Shadow
1 Around my path life's mysteries
Their deepening shadows throw ;
And, as 1 gaze and ponder,
They dark, and darker grow ;
Yet, still amid the darkness,
I feel the light is near.
And in the awful silence,
God's voice I seem to hear.
2 Thy voice I hear above me.
Which says, 'Wait, trust, and pray,
The night will soon be over.
And light will come with day.'
4 Fear not, brethren ; joyful stand
On the borders of your land ;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
5 Lord, obediently we go.
Gladly leaving all below ;
Only thou our leader be.
And we still will follow thee.
John Cknnick, 1742
of Death into Morning
Amen ! the light and darkness
Are both alike to thee :
Then to thy waiting servant,
Alike they both shall be.
3 That great unending future,
I cannot pierce its shroud.
But nothing doubt nor tremble j
God's bow is on the cloud :
To him I yield my spirit,
On him I lay my load ;
Fear ends with death ; beyond it
I nothing see but God.

2 Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course ;
Fire ascending seeks the sun ;
Both speed them to their source
So my soul, derived from God,
Pants to view his glorious face,
Forward tends to his abode.
To rest in his embrace.
3 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn.
Press onward to the prize ;
Soon our Saviour will return
Triumphant in the skies :
Yet a season, and you know
Happy entrance will be given.
All our sorrows left below,
And earth exchanged for heaven.

2 We have not donethe things we would, 4 We own thy promise, for we find
A blotted page we render back ; In all thy dealings evermore
Andyet,whate'er our work may lack, Thou teachest that the things before
Thy work goes on, and thou art good. Are better than the things behind.
3 Thou movest in the moving years ; 5 Thou Opener of the years to be,
Wherever man is, there thou art
To overrule his feebler part.
And bring a blessing out of tears.

For those that here we see no more ;

And ancient forms of party strife.
Ring in the nobler modes of life.
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold ;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,

Ring out the darkness of the land.

Strength withers, of to-morrow dreaming; This is no time for idle scorning;

Peer not ahead for duties new : Short is the day, the workers few :

Voices insistent calling, calling ;
Hear, from the throng love speaks to you !

Asking a springtide blessing at thy hand,

Wakening our wintry hearts to life again.
Bidding each soul like a fair garden bloom
In faith and works, and love's most sweet perfume.

Till, when the autumn crowns our blissful days,

Blessings of Sunshine and Shower
1 A gladsome song of praise we sing.
And thankfully we gather.
To bless the love of God above,
Our everlasting Father.
In him rejoice with heart and voice.
Whose glory fadeth never.
Whose providence is our defence.
Who lives and loves forever.
2 From shades of night he calls the light.
And from the sod the flower;
And every cloud his blessings break
In sunshine or in shower :
For nothing falls unknown to him.
Or care, or joy, or sorrow.
And he whose mercy ruled the past
Will be our stay to-morrow.
3 Then praise the Lord with one accord.
To his great name give glory,
And of his never-changing love
Repeat the wondrous story.
In him rejoice with heart and voice.
Whose glory fadeth never.
Whose providence is our defence,
Who lives and loves forever.

* y^ Song for the Harvest '
2 For grasses of upland and lowland,
For fruits of the garden and field,
For gold which the mine and the furrow
To delver and husbandman yield.
3 And thanks for the harvest of beauty,
P or that which the hands cannot hold,
The harvest eyes only can gather.
And only our hearts can enfold :
4 We reap it on mountain and moorland.
We glean it from meadow and lea.
We garner it in from the cloudland.
We bind it in sheaves from the sea.
5 But now we sing deeper and higher.
Of harvests that eye cannot see j
They ripen on mountains of duty,
Are reaped by the brave and the free.
6 O thou who art Lord of the harvest.
The Giver who gladdens our days.
Our hearts are forever repeating.
Thanksgiving, and honor, and praise !

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 ;
Much more to us, his children,
He gives our daily bread.
3 We thank thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seedtime and the harvest.
Our life, our health, our food :
No gifts have we to offer
For all thy love imparts,
But that which thou desirest.
Our humble, thankful hearts.

The Song of
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 ;
Harvest Home
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 for ever purified.
In thy presence to abide :
Come, with all thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home !

2 And yet God's love is not withdrawn ; 3 And tho' abroad the sharp winds blow.
His life within the keen air breathes, And skies are chill, and frosts are keen.
His beauty paints the crimson dawn. Home closer draws her circle now.
And clothes the boughs with glittering And warmer glows her light within,
wreaths.
4 O God, who givest the winter's cold.
As well as summer's joyous rays,
Us warmly in thy love enfold,
And keep us through life's wintry days !

1 Praise to God and thanks we bring, —
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 !
2 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 !
3 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, sing
Praise, and love, and thanksgiving !

While we in thy house appear :

Of our everlasting feast.
4 May thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints ;
May the fruits of grace abound.
Bring relief for all complaints :
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above.

2 While we pray for pardoning grace.
Through the dear Redeemer's name.
Show thy reconciled face ;
Take away our sin and shame ;
From our worldly cares set free.
May we rest this day in thee.

Let us feel thy presence near ;
May thy glory meet our eyes.

1 This is the day of light :
Let there be light to-day ;
O Day-spring, rise upon our night.
And chase its gloom away.
2 This is the day of rest :
Our failing strength renew ;
On weary brain and troubled breast
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 plrayer :
Let earth to heaven draw near ;
Lift up our hearts to seek thee there ;
Come down 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 !

Mercies New Every Morning
2 Still the greatness of thy love,
Daily doth our sins remove,
Daily, far as east from west.
Lifts the burden from the breast,
Gives unbought, to those who pray.
Strength to stand in evil day.
3 Let our prayers each morn prevail,
That these gifts may never fail ;
And, as we confess the sin
And the tempter's power within.
Every morning, for the strife.
Feed us with the bread of life.

2 Fount of all our joy and peace,
To thy living waters lead me ;
Thou from earth my soul release,
And with grace and mercy feed me ;
Bless thy word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that thou dost love.
3 Kindle thou the sacrifice
That upon my lips is lying :
Clear the shadows from my eyes,
That from every error flying,
No strange fire may in me glow
That thine altar doth not know.
4 Let me with my heart to-day,
Holy, holy, holy ! singing.
Rapt awhile from earth away,
All my soul to thee upspringing,
Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship thee in heaven.
5 Hence all care, all vanity,
For the day to God is holy ;
Come, thou glorious Majesty,
Deign to fill this temple lowly;
Naught to-day my soul shall move,
Simply resting in thy love.

When hill and dale in thickest darkness lay.
Awoke bright rays across the dim earth stealing,
And bade the even and morn complete the day.
3 Look from the tower of heaven, and send to cheer us
Thy light and truth, to guide us onward still ;
Still let thy mercy, as of old, be near us,
And lead us safely to thy holy hill.

And shades of evil from its splendors flee.

New Life with the New Day
New every morning is the love 4 Old friends, old scenes will lovelier be.
Our wakening and uprising prove, — As more of heaven in each we see ;
Thro' sleep and darkness safely brought. Some softening gleam of love and prayer
Restored to life,and power, and thought. Shall dawn on every cross and care.
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.
6
5 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.
If on our daily course our mind
Be set to hallow all we find.
New treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
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.

2 Sing a new song at morn ; 4 Cast every weight aside ;
Join the glad woods and hills ; Do battle with each sin ;
Join the fresh winds and seas and plains ; Fight with the faithless world without,
Join the bright flowers and rills. The faithless heart within.
3 Awake, cold lips, and sing;
Arise, dull heart, and pray ;
Lift up, O man, thy heart and eyes ;
Brush slothfulness away.
5 Look up beyond these clouds :
Thither thy pathway lies ;
Mount up, away, and linger not :
Thy goal is yonder skies,

Early Morning Hymn
1 Sweetly the holy hymn
Breaks on the morning air.
Before the world with smoke is dim
We meet to offer prayer.
2 While flowers are wet with dews.
Dew of our souls descend ;
Ere yet the sun the day renews,
O Lord, thy Spirit send.
3 Upon the battle-field.
Before the fight begins.
We seek, O Lord, thy sheltering shield,
To guard us from our sins.
4 On the lone mountain side,
Before the morning's light,
The Man of sorrows wept and cried.
And rose refreshed with might.
5 O, hear us, then, for we
Are very weak and frail.
We make the Saviour's name our plea,
And surely must prevail.

Let thy bright beams, all shades dispelling,
Around us and within us shine.

And, Holy ! cry, nor ever rest ;

Could we but voice the love we see,
As sweet a song as angels raise thee.

Earth's Girdle of Praise
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.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun, that bids us rest, is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord ; thy throne shall never.
Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
But stand, and rule, and grow, for ever.
Till all thy creatures own thy sway.

2 Forgive me, Lord, for thy dear Son, 4 O may my soul on thee repose,
The ill that I this day have done, And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close.
That with the world, myself, and thee. Sleep that may me more vigorous make
I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. To serve my God when I awake.
3 When in the night I sleepless lie.
My soul with heavenly tho'ts supply.
Let no ill dreams disturb my rest.
No powers of darkness me molest.
5 Praise God from whom all blessings flow ;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host :
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

In Thy Mercy Heal Us All
I At even, ere the sun was set, 4
The sick, O Lord, around thee lay;
O, in what divers pains they met I
O, with what joy they went away I
And none, O Lord, have perfect rest.
For none are wholly free from sin ;
And they who fain would serve thee best
Are conscious most of wrong within.
2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we, 5 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man ;
Oppressed with various ills, draw Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried;
near : Thy kind but searching glance can scan
What if thy form we cannot see ? The very wounds that shame would
We know and feel that thou art here. hide.
3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel ; 6 Thy touch has still its ancient power,
For some are sick, and some are sad. No word from thee can fruitless fall;
And some have never loved thee well. Hear, in this solemn evening hour.
And some have lost the love they had. And in thy mercy heal us all.

All day serve thee, in all that we are doing
Thy praise pursuing.

And bid the captive lose his griefs in sleeping ;

Of the universe, thy home.

2 As Christ upon the cross,
His head inclined,
And to his Father's arms
His parting soul resigned,
So now herself my soul
Would wholly give
Into his sacred charge
In whom all spirits live ;
3 So now beneath his eye
Would calmly rest,
Without a wish or thought
Abiding in the breast.

Save that his will be done
Whate'er betide, —
Dead to herself, and dead
In him to all beside.
Thus would I live ; yet now
Not I, but he
In all his power and love
Henceforth alive in me,
One sacred Trinity,
One Lord divine;
Myself for ever his.
And he for ever mine !

Evening Brings Us Home
2 We have been wounded by the hunter's darts,
Our eyes are very heavy, and our hearts
Search for thy coming, when the light departs ;
At evening bring us home.
3 The darkness gathers ; through the gloom no star
Rises to guide us ; we have wandered far ;
Without thy lamp we know not where we are ;
At evening bring us home.
4 We fare bewildered through the falling snow ;
O thou dear Shepherd, leave us not to go
Without thy heartening voice, thy guiding glow ;
At evening bring us home.

1 The day is ended. Ere I sink to sleep
My weary spirit seeks repose in thine ;
Father, forgive my trespasses, and keep
This little life of mine.
2 With lovingkindness curtain thou my bed.
And cool in rest my burning pilgrim feet,
Thy pardon be the pillow for my head ;
So shall my rest be sweet.

Our many hopes and fears.
Our heavy weight of mortal toil.
Our bitterness of tears.
3 We pray thee for all absent friends.
Who have been with us here ;
And in our secret heart we name
The distant and the dear.
And feet that from thee rove.
The sick, the poor, the tried, the fallen.
We pray thee, God of love.
5 We bring to thee our hopes and fears,
And at thy footstool lay ;
And, Father, thou who lovest all
Wilt hear us when we pray.

Our wearied eyelids close.
Content and glad awhile to tread
The way our Father knows.
5 And thou hast loved us ! all our heart
With answering love is stirred ;
And poverty and toil and smart,
Find healing in that word.
3 Yes, all, — the morning and the night, 6 And so we lay us down to rest.
The joy, the grief, the loss. As nightly shadows fall ;
The mountain track, the valley bright. And lean, confiding, on his breast
The daily thorn and cross. Who knows and pities all.
c. 1831
We put our work away.
And kneel to him who bends to hear
The story of the day.
2 The common story ; yet we kneel
To tell it at thy call.
And cares grow lighter when we feel
Our Father knows them all.

Upon the waves, and thy disciples cheer,

And earthly hopes and human succors fail ;
When all is dark, may we behold thee nigh,
And hear thy voice, ' Fear not, for it is I ! '

Lighten Our Darkness^ O Lord
2 Hushed are the sheep-bells afar on the moorland,
O'er the still meadows the night breezes sweep.
Faint fall the footsteps in city and hamlet,
Safely the children are folded in sleep.
3 Softly may weary ones rest from their duty,
Bright be the dreams of the troubled and worn,
While through the shade beam the stars in their beauty.
Watching the world till the breaking of morn.
4 Lord of the night, let thine angels defend us ;
Sunshine and gloom are alike unto thee :
Lord of the day, let thy Spirit attend us,
Bless us and keep us wherever we be.

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

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

Too soon of praise we tire ;

Of that eternal choir !

If thou attune the heart.

May bear our lower part.
5 'Tis thine each soul to calm.
Each wayward thought reclaim,

By day, by night, at home, abroad,

And calls me back to care.
Each day returning to begin
With thee, my God, in prayer.
3 With thee amid the crowd
That throngs the busy mart.
To hear thy voice, where time's is loud.
Speak softly to my heart.
4 With thee when day is done.
And evening calms the mind;
The setting as the rising sun
With thee my heart would find.
5 With thee when darkness brings
The signal of repose.
Calm in the shadow of thy wings.
Mine eyelids I would close.
6 With thee, in thee, by faith
Abiding, I would be ;
By day, by night, in life, in death,
I would be still with thee.

Praise his name for life and light ;
Are the shadows lengthening o'er us ?
Bless his care who guards the night.
2 Part in peace : with deep thanksgiving,
Rendering, as we homeward tread.
Gracious service to the living.
Tranquil memory to the dead.
3 Part in peace : such are the praises
God, our Maker, loveth best ;
Such the worship that upraises
Human hearts to heavenly rest.

And duty's narrow sphere,
Still in our hearts keep burning
The vision witnessed here ;
Still may thy spell of peace and power
Breathe strength for every toilsome hour.
Ella S. Armitage (1841- )
Arr. from Mendelssohn, 1840

1. Fa-ther, give thy ben - e - dic-tion: Give thy peace be - fore we part:
2. Let thy voice with sweet com-mand-ing. Bid our griefs and strug-gles end:
r^^A
Still our minds with truth's con-vic-tion. Calm with trust each anx-ious heart.
Peace which pass-eth un - der-stand-ing On our wait - ing spir - its send. A-men.

Sunday Hallowing the Week
2 If calm and bright its moments prove, And though our eyes let fall the tear,
Untouched by pain or woe. At peace our spirits be.
May they reflect a thankful love 4 In every scene, or dark, or bright.
To thee, from whom they flow. Thy favor may we seek ;
3 Or should they bring us grief severe. And O, do thou direct us right
Still may we lean on thee ; Through all the coming week !

Along our homeward road ; Enfold our day of rest ;
In silent thought, or friendly talk, Be he of every heart the light,
Our hearts be near to God. Of every home the guest.

Of slumber calm and deep.
Protect our homes, renew our powers.

Afy Peace I Give unto Tou
2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way :
With thee began, with thee shall end the day ;
Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon thy name.
3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night ;
Turn thou for us its darkness into light ;
From harm and danger keep thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to thee.
4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
Then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease.
Call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace,
John Ellerton, 1866

Now while we sing our closing psalm 2 May light to guide us every hour.
With reverent lips and glowing heart. From thee, eternal Sun, descend;
May peace from out the eternal calm And strength from thee, almighty Power,
Rest on our spirits as we part. Be with us now and to the end.

Bless Us Ere We Go
2 The day is done, its hours have run ; 4 Do more than pardon ; give us joy,
And thou hast taken count of all, — Sweet fear, and sober Hberty,
The scanty triumphs grace hath won. And loving hearts without alloy.
The broken vow, the frequent fall : That only long to be like thee :
Through life's long day and death's Through life's long day and death's
dark night, dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light ! O gentle Jesus, be our Light !
3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad,
True absolution and release ; The sinful, unto thee we call ;
And bless us, more than in past days, O let thy mercy make us glad ;
With purity and inward peace : Thou art our Jesus and our All :
Through life's long day and death's Through life's long day and death's
dark night, dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light ! O gentle Jesus, be our Light !

In chanting the Canticles sing the first, the Recitative, portion of each line of the
words to the first tone of the music, rapidly, with marked pause on italicised words; the
second, or Rhythmic, in strict time like an allegro in 2-2 tempo. Prolong through the half
measure a syllable followed by dash. A dot marks the center of the measure and guides to
the accent.
Sing the first line of the words to the first, the second, to the second half of the music.
Use two lines of words to each singing of the music of a single chant, four lines in case of a
double chant.

Beasts and all cattle;
Creeping things and flying fowl :

For his name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.

Psalm 104
BLESS the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, thou art very great;
Thou art clothed with honor and majesty:
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment;
Who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain;
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters ;
Who maketh the clouds his chariot;
Who walketh upon the wings of the wind;
Who maketh winds his messengers,
Flames of fire his ministers :
Who laid the foundations of the earth,
That it should not be moved for ever.
Thou coverest it with the deep as with a vesture ;
The waters stood above the mountains.
At thy rebuke they fled ;
At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away —
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down —
Unto the place which thou hadst founded for them.
Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over;
That they turn not again to cover the earth.
He sendeth forth springs into the valleys:
They run among the mountains ;
They give drink to every beast of the field;
The wild asses quench their thirst.
By them the birds of the heaven have their habitation;
They sing among the branches.
He watereth the mountains from his chambers:
The earth hath its fill from the fruit of thy works.
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle,
And herb for the service of man;
That he may bring forth food out of the earth,
And wine to make glad the heart of man,
Oil to make his face to shine. And bread to strengthen man's heart.
The trees of the Lord have their fill,
The cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;
Where the birds make their nests :
As for the stork, the fix-trees are her house.

The Lord is full of compassion and gracious.
Slow to anger, and plenteous in lovingkindness.
He will not always chide ; Neither will he keep his anger for ever.
He hath not dealt with us after our sins.
Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.
For as the heaven is high above the earth.
So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.
As far as the east is from the west.
So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Like as a father pitieth his children.
So the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
For he knoweth our frame ;

As for man, his days are as grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone ;
And the place thereof shall know it no more.
But the lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon
them that fear him.
And his righteousness unto children's children;
To such as keep his covenant,

Their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
His going forth is from the end of the heavens,
And his circuit unto the ends of it;
And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul :
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart:
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever:
The ordinances of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.

Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey
And the droppings of the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned:
In keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern his errors?
Clear thou me from hidden faults.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me:

And I shall be clear from great transgressions.

For there is none to help.
A company of evil-doers have inclosed me;

Thev that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head:
They that would cut me off, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty.
For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up;
And the reproaches of them that reproach thee are fallen upon me.
Reproach hath broken my heart;
And I am full of heaviness :
And I looked for some to take pity, but there was none;
And for comforters, but I found none.
They gave me also gall for m\' food;
And in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O Lord, in an acceptable time:

Pure Religion and Undefiled Before God
Isaiah 58
TS not this the fast that I have chosen, saith the Lord, —
^ To loose the fetters of injustice, To undo the bands of the yoke.
To let the oppressed go free, And to break every yoke?
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry.
And to bring the homeless into thy house?
When thou seest the naked to cover him.
And hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
Then shall thy light break forth as the morning,
And thy healing shall spring forth speedily ;
Thy righteousness shall go before thee.
And the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward:
Then shalt thou call, and the Lord will answer;
Thou shalt cry, and he will say, Here I am.
If from the midst of thee thou remove the yoke.
The pointing fmger, and the speech of mischief;
And draw out thy soul to the hungry;
And satisfy the afflicted soul, —
Then shall thy light rise in darkness.
And thy gloom shall be as the noonday;
Then the Lord will guide thee continually,
And satisfy thy soul in dry places. And thy vigor will he renew:
So shalt thou be like a well-watered garden,
And like a spring whose waters fail not.

God a Helper Against Injustice and Oppression

For judgment shall return unto righteousness;
And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers ot iniquity?
Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
When I said. My foot slippeth, thy lovingkindness, O Lord, held me up.
In the crowd of troubled thoughts within me thy comforts refresh my soul.
For the Lord hath been my high tower,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
Help, Lord; for the good are no more;
For the faithful fail from among the children of men.

With flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.

Our lips are with us : who is lord over us?

When baseness is exalted among the sons of men.

What can the righteous do?

He suffered no man to oppress them;
Yea, for their sakes he reproved kings.
Saying, Touch not mine anointed,

He led forth his own people like sheep,
And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

Love that Will not Let Us Go
haiah 43. 54
T> UT now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob,
^^ And he that formed thee, O Israel, —
Fear not, for I have redeemed thee ;
I have called thee by name, thou art mine.
When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee,
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:
When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned,
Neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
For I, the Lord, am thy God;
I, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour :
I, even 1, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake.
And thy sins I remember not.
For a small moment have 1 forsaken thee,
But with great mercies will I gather thee :
For a moment 1 hid my face from thee.
But with everlasting kindness will I have compassion on thee:
For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed;
But my lovingkindness shall not depart from thee.
Neither shall my covenant of peace be removed,
Saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.
O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted,
Behold, I will set thy stones in fair colors.
And lay thy foundations with sapphires :
And all thy border of pleasant stones.
And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord,
And great shall be the peace of thy children.
In righteousness shalt thou be established :
Thou shalt be far from oppression, for thou shalt not fear;
And from destruction, for it shall not come near thee.
Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation.
And in that day shall ye say, —
i will give thanks unto thee, o lord
For thy wrath is turned away, and thou comfortest me.
Behold, God is my salvation:
i will trust and will not be afraid:
For the Lord is my strength and song;
Even he is become my salvation.

God' 5 Gracious Invitation
Isaiah 55
"LJO, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters;
■■■ -■• And he that hath no money, come ye, buy and eat;
Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Wherefore do ye spend your money for that which is not bread,
And your labor for that which satisfieth not?
Hearken diligently unto me and eat ye that which is good.
And let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Incline your ear, and come unto me:
Hear, and your soul shall live:
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
Even the sure mercies of David.
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found;
Call ye upon him while he is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way.
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
And let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him;
And to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
Neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain cometh down and the snow from heaven.
And returneth not thither, but watereth the earth,
And maketh it bring forth and bud.
And give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, —
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth;
It shall not return unto me void,
But it shall accomplish that which I please.
And it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
For ye shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace:
The mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing,
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree.
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
And it shall be to the Lord for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

That she hath received of the Lord's hand double for all her sins.

Make level in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted.
And every mountain and hill be made low;
And the uneven shall be made level,
And the rough places a plain :

Get thee up on a high mountain;
O thou that tellest good tidings to Jerusalem,

Lift it up, fear not; say unto the cities of Judah, —
Behold your God !
Behold, the Lord God cometh as a mighty one.
And his arm ruleth for him.
Behold, his reward is with him.
And his recompense before him.

And gently lead those that are with their young.

The Unchanging and Unwearied God

And comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure,
And weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Who hath directed the spirit of the Lord,
Or being his counsellor, hath given him knowledge?
With whom hath he taken counsel, That he might obtain insight.
And be taught the way of right,
And be shown the way of understanding?
It is he that bringeth princes to nothing;
That maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.
Scarcely have they been planted, scarcely have they been sown,
When he bloweth upon them, and they wither,
And as stubble the whirlwind carrieth them away.
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket,
And as fme dust of the balance are they reckoned:
Behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.
Do ye not perceive? Do ye not hear?
Hath it not been told you from the beginning?

So that the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers ;
That hath stretched out the heavens as a firmament,
And spread them out as a tent to dwell in.
Lift up your eyes on high, and see who hath created these.
That bringeth out their host by number, and calleth them all by name.
By the greatness of his might, and for that he is strong in power,
Not one of them is lacking.
Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O Israel,
My way is hidden from the Lord,
And my right is passed over of my God?
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard?

There is no searching of his understanding.
He giveth power to the faint.

The Suffering Servant of the Lord
Isaiah 52
BEHOLD, my Servant shall deal wisely and prosper;
He shall rise, and be exalted, and be very high.
Like as many, on his account, were astonied, —
So marred from a man's was his visage.
And his form from the children of men, —
So will many in him take delight;
Before him kings shall be awe-struck in silence;
For that which had never been told them shall they see,
And what they had not heard shall they consider.
Isaiah 53
Who indeed hath believed our report?
And to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?

For he grew up before him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of a dry ground:
He had no form nor comeHness that we should regard him,
And no beauty that we should desire him.
He was despised and rejected of men,
A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief;
And, as one from whom men hide their face,
He was despised, and we esteemed him not.
But, surely, he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows;
Yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted :
But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities:
The chastisement of our peace was upon him,
And with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray,
We have turned every one to his own way.
And the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed, yet he humbled himself,
And opened not his mouth:
As a lamb that is led to the slaughter.
And as a sheep before her shearers is dumb.
So he opened not his mouth.
By an oppressive judgment was he taken away.
And as for his generation who among them considered,
That for my people he was cut off out of the land of the living.
That for their transgression he was stricken to death?
So they made his grave with the wicked. And with the rich in his death.
Though no wrong had he done, Neither was there guile in his mouth.
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him, and to put him to grief:
For so — since he had made himself an offering for sin —
He should see a posterity, he should prolong his days.
And the purpose of the Lord should prosper in his hand.
Out of the travail of his soul shall he see.
With his knowledge shall he be satisfied.
My righteous Servant shall win righteousness for many.
And take up the load of their iniquities :
Therefore will 1 give him a portion with the great.
And with the strong he shall share the spoil;
Because he poured out his soul unto death.
And let himself be reckoned with transgressors:
And yet it was he that bore the sins of many,
And for the transgressors he made intercession.

They went about in sheepskins and goatskins,
Destitute, afflicted, illtreated;
Wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes of the earth;
Of whom the world was not worthy.
And these all, though having witness borne to them through their faith,
Yet obtained not the promise,
God having in view some better thing for us.

That he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the things
pertaining unto God.
For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted.
He is able to succor them that are tempted.
Though he was a Son, yet he learned obedience by the things which he suffered:
And being made perfect, he became unto all who obey him the author of
eternal salvation.
Having, then, a great high priest who hath passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God,
Let us hold fast our confession.
For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our
infirmities,
But one who hath been tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin.
Let us then draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace,
With a true heart and in fullness of faith,
That we may receive mercy,
And find grace to help us in time of need ;
For he is able to save to the uttermost those that draw near to God through him.
Seeing that he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Because he abideth for ever, he hath his priesthood unchangeable:
Jesus Christ the same, yesterday, to-day and for ever.
Through him let us offer continually to God a sacrifice of praise.
That is the fruit of our lips confessing his name.
And to do good and to communicate forget not.
For with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Now THE God of peace, who brought again from the dead
Our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep.
Make us perfect in every good work to do his will.
Working in us that which is well-pleasing in his sight,
Through Jesus Christ;
To whom be the glory for ever and ever. Amen. -

Risen with Christ
TF then ye were raised with Christ,
-'■ Seek the things that are above.
Where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
Set your mind on the things that are above,
Not on the things that are upon the earth.
For we died and our life is hid with Christ in God.
That hke as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father,
So we also might walk in newness of life.
For if we have become united with him in the Hkeness of his death,
We shall be united with him also in the likeness of his resurrection.
If we died with Christ,
We believe that we shall also live with him;
For we know that as Christ was raised from the dead.
He dieth no more ; death has no more dominion over him.
For the death that he died, he died unto sin once.
But the life that he liveth he liveth unto God.
Even so let us reckon ourselves to be dead unto sin.
But alive unto God in Christ Jesus.
But if Christ live in us, The body is dead because of sin,
But the spirit is life because of righteousness.
And if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in us.
He who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead
Shall quicken also our mortal bodies through his Spirit dwelling in us.
So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh;
For if we live after the flesh we must die:
But if by the Spirit we put to death the deeds of the body, we shall live.
Let not sin, then, reign in our mortal body.
That we should obey the lusts thereof;
Neither let us present our members unto sin as instruments of unright-
eousness ;
But present ourselves unto God as alive from the dead,
And our members unto God as instruments of righteousness.
For sin shall not have dominion over us :
But now being set free from sin and become bond-servants of God,
We have our fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life.
For the wages of sin is death;
But the free gift of God is eternal life
In Jesus Christ, our Lord.

The Resurrection
1 Corinthians 15
NOW is Christ risen from the dead,
And become the first fruits of them that sleep.
For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
As we have borne the image of the earthy,
We shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
For there are celestial bodies and bodies terrestrial:
But the glory of the celestial is one,
And the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory
of the stars;
For one star differeth from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the dead.
It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption :
It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory:
It is sown in weakness ; it is raised in power :
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual,
But that which is natural, then that which is spiritual.
The first man is of the earth, earthy:
The second man is of heaven.
As is the earthy, such are they also which are earthy:
And as is, the heavenly, such are they also which are heavenly.
Now flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,
Neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Behold, 1 show you a mystery!
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption,
And this mortal must put on immortality.
But when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption,
And this mortal shall have put on immortality.
Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written.
Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting?
O grave, where is thy victory?
The sting of death is sin, And the strength of sin is the law:
But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory
Through our Lord Jesus Christ.

AS many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
For we received not the spirit of bondage, again unto fear;
But we received the spirit of sonship, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
The Spirit himself beareth v/itness with our spirit, that we are children of God:
And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ ;
If so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him.
For we reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be
compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good.
If God is for us, who is against us?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all.
How shall he not also with him freely give us all things?
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution,
Or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors
Through him that loved us.
For 1 am persuaded that neither death, nor life,
Nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers,
Nor things present, nor things to come.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature,
Shall be able to separate us from the love of God,

Day by day our inward man is renewed.

Worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen.

And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying;
Neither shall there be any more pain;
For the first things are passed away.

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried:
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven.
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost:
The Holy Catholic Church: The Communion of Saints:
The Forgiveness of sins: The Resurrection of the dead:
And the Life Everlasting. Amen.

Unison Confessions
25. A Scriptural Confession of Faith
To us there is: One God, the Father,
Of whom are all things, and we unto him;
And one Lord Jesus Christ,
Through whom are all things, and we through him;
Who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit.
Seen of angels. Preached among the nations,
Believed on in the world. Received up in glory;
And one Spirit of truth, Proceeding from the Father,
Bearing witness of Christ, Guiding us into all truth,
Declaring unto us the things that are to come,
Bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
Having fruit in all goodness, righteousness and truth.

The Lord' s Prayer
OUR Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name,
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and
from whom no secrets are hid; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the
inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily
magnify thy holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
O ALMIGHTY God, from whom cometh down every good and perfect
gift, and who pourest out on all who desire it the Spirit of grace and
supplication; deliver us, when we draw nigh unto thee, from coldness of heart
and wanderings of mind; that with steadfast thoughts and kindled affections we
may worship thee in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who art always more ready to hear than
we to pray, and art wont to give more than either we desire or deserve;
pour down upon us the abundance of thy mercy, forgiving us those things
whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we
are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ,
thy Son, our Lord. Amen.
OGOD, light of the hearts that see thee, and life of the souls that love
thee, and strength of the thoughts that seek thee; from whom to be
turned away is to fall, to whom to be turned is to rise, and in whom to abide is
to stand fast forever; grant us now thy grace and blessing as we are here assem-
bled to offer up our common supplications; and though we are unworthy to
approach thee, or to ask anything of thee at all, be pleased to hear and to
answer us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
LORD our God, great, eternal, wonderful in glory, who keepest covenant
and promises for those that love thee with their whole heart; who art
the life of all, the help of those that flee unto thee, the hope of those who
cry unto thee; cleanse us from our sins secret and open, and from every
thought displeasing to thy goodness; cleanse our bodies and souls, our hearts
and consciences, that with a pure heart and a clear soul, with perfect love and
calm hope, we may venture confidently and fearlessly to pray unto thee. Amen.

Prayers
OGOD, who art, and wast, and art to come, before whose face the gener-
ations rise and pass away; age after age the living seek thee, and find
that of thy faithfuhiess there is no end. Our fathers in their pilgrimage walked
by thy guidance, and rested on thy compassion: still to their children be thou
the cloud by day, the fire by night. Where but in thee have we a covert from
the storm, or shadow from the heat of life. In our manifold temptations thou
alone knowcst and art ever nigh: in sorrow thy pity revives the fainting soul:
in our prosperity and ease it is thy Spirit only that can wean us from our pride
and keep us low. O thou sole source of peace and righteousness, take now
the veil from every heart ; and join us in one communion with thy prophets and
saints who have trusted in thee and were not ashamed. Not of our worthi-
ness, but of thy tender mercy, hear our prayer. Amen.
OGOD, who hast prepared for those who love thee such good things as
pass man's understanding ; pour into our hearts such love toward thee,
that we, loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all
that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
OLORD, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, who hast
safely brought us to the beginning of this day; defend us in the same
with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run
into any kind of danger; but that all our doings, being ordered by thy gover-
nance, may be righteous in thy sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
OMOST loving Father, who wiliest us to give thanks for all things, to
dread nothing but the loss of thee, and to cast all our cares on thee who
carest for us; preserve us from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, and grant
that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from us the light of that love which
evermore dwells in thee, and which thou hast manifested to us in thy Son Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
OGOD, by whom the meek are guided in judgment, and light riseth up in
darkness for the godly ; grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties,
the grace to ask what thou wouldst have us to do; that the Spirit of wisdom
may save us from all false choices, and that in thy light we may see light, and in
thy straight path may not stumble; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
OGOD, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in knowledge
of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom;
defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely
trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the
might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, who requirest the hearts of thy creatures;
convert us wholly to thyself; turn away our eyes from beholding vanity,
and quicken us in thy way ; through him who is at once the pattern and the
power of godliness, thy Son Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Ill
Prayers
OGOD, the sovereign good of the soul, who requirest the hearts ot all thy
children; deliver us from all sloth in thy work, all coldness in thy
cause; and grant that by looking unto thee u^e may rekindle our love, and
by waitmg upon thee may renew our strength; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
LORD of all power and might, who art the Author and Giver of all good
things; graft in our hearts the love of thy name, increase in us true
religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep us in the
same, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
OGOD, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works
do proceed; give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot
give; that our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by
thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in
rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
OGOD, who, by the example of thy dear Son, hast warned us that we
should work thy works while it is day, before the night cometh when no
man can work; keep us from sloth and idleness, and from the misuse of those
talents which thou hast committed to our trust. Enable us to perform the
several duties of our state and calling with such care and diligence that our
work may never be reproved in thy sight; and forasmuch as the needful business
of this life is apt to steal away our hearts from thee, give us grace to remember
that we have a Master in heaven, and to do everything in singleness of heart,
as unto thee and not unto men, that of thee we may receive the reward of the
inheritance which thou hast promised in thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
OGOD, the protector of all that trust In thee, without whom nothing is
strong, nothing is holy; increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that,
thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that
we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for
Jesus Christ's sake our Lord. Amen.
OGOD, who art the guide and shepherd of all faithful souls, grant unto
us who have now tasted of thy goodness, that the eyes of our spirit may
never cease to see thee, nor our ears to hear thy voice; that so we, constantly
remembering thy love and goodness towards men, may with a pure heart and
faithful mind give ourselves to serve and follow thee, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
DIRECT us, O Lord, in all our doings, with thy most gracious favor, and
further us with thy continual help; that in all our works begun, continued,
and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy name, and finally, by thy mercy,
obtain everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Prayers
ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us grace at this time with one accord
to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost promise that
when two or three are gathered together in thy name thou wilt grant their
requests ; fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of thy servants, as may
be most expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of thy truth,
and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen.
At Evening
OGOD, with whom there is no darkness, but the night shineth as the
day; keep and defend us and all thy children, in soul and body, during
the coming night. May we rest in the consciousness of thy favor, in the
peace of a good conscience, in the hope of a better life, in the faith of thy
providence, in the love of thy spirit. May we rise up again to diligence in our
several callings, to work the work of God while the day lasts, seeing that the
night Cometh in which no man can work. And whether we wake or sleep
may we live together with Christ. Amen.
LIGHTEN our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great
mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love
of thy only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
A General Confession
ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father; we have erred, and strayed from
thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and
desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We
have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have
done those things which we ought not to have done. But thou, O Lord, have
mercy upon us. Spare thou those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore
thou those who art penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind
in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake;
That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of
thy holy name. Amen.
A General Thanksgiving
ALMIGHTY God, Father of all mercies, we, thine unworthy servants, do
give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-
kindness to us, and to all men. We bless thee for our creation, preservation,
and all the blessings of this life; but above all, for thine inestimable love in the
redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ ; for the means of grace, and
for the hope of glory. And, we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy
mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful, and that we show forth
thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up ourselves to
thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our
days ; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost,
be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

Prayers
For all Conditions of Men
OGOD, the Creator and Preserver of all mankind, we humbly beseech thee
for all sorts and conditions of men; that thou wouldest be pleased to
make thy ways known unto them, thy saving health unto all nations. More
especially we pray for thy holy Church universal; that it may be so guided and
governed by thy good Spirit, that all who profess and call themselves Christians
may be led into the way of truth, and hold the faith in unity of spirit, in the
bond of peace, and in righteousness of life. Finally, we commend to thy
fatherly goodness all those who are any ways afflicted, or distressed, in mind,
body, or estate; that it may please thee to comfort and relieve them, according
to their several necessities; giving them patience under their sufferings, and a
happy issue out of all their afflictions. And this we beg for Jesus Christ's
sake. Amen.
For the Remembrance of the Dead
ETERNAL God, in whom do rest the spirits of just men made perfect; we
bless and praise thy holy name for all thy servants departed this life in
thy faith and fear; and especially for those most dear to us, of whom we have
good hope that they have fallen asleep in Jesus. And we beseech thee to give
us grace to follow their good examples, that even here we may be united to
them in fellowship of spirit, and that finally we may be gathered together with
them into the bosom of thy love, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For the President and all in Civil Authority
OLORD, our heavenly Father, the high and mighty Ruler of the universe,
who dost from thy throne behold all the dwellers upon earth; most
heartily we beseech thee with thy favor to behold and bless thy servant, the
President of the United States, and all others in authority; and so replenish
them with the grace of thy Holy Spirit that they may always incline to thy
will, and walk in thy way. Endue them plenteously with heavenly gifts;
grant them in health and prosperity long to live; and finally, after this life, to
attain everlasting joy and felicity ; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
For the Country
ALMIGHTY God, who in the former time leddest our fathers forth into
a wealthy place, and didst set their feet in a large room; give thy grace,
we humbly beseech thee, to us their children, that we may always approve
ourselves a people mindful of thy favor and glad to do thy will. Bless our
land with honorable industry, sound learning and pure manners. Defend our
liberties, preserve our unity. Save us from violence, discord and confusion,
from pride and arrogancy and every evil way. Fashion into one happy people
the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with
the spirit of wisdom those whom we entrust in thy name with the authority of
governance, to the end that there be peace at home, and that we keep our
place among the nations of the earth. In the time of our prosperity temper
our self confidence with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble suffer not our
trust in thee to fail; all which we ask for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

Acknowledgments
The publishers and editors wish to acknowledge with sincere thanks their
indebtedness for advice and information received frcjm many interested co-
workers. Not to repeat mention of those who shared in the preparation of the
first Pilgrim Hymnal, we may name, among those who have aided in this revi-
sion, only the following.
Professor John W. Buckham, Rev. Charles Y. Carter, Pres. Samuel V.
Cole, Pres. Edward D. Eaton, Rev. Frank S. Hunnewell, Rev. Edward M.
Noyes, Rev. Charles H. Oliphant, Rev. Frederick H. Page, Rev. George T.
Smart, Mr. H. Augustin Smith, and Rev. Lucius H. Thayer have reviewed
in manuscript the collection of hymns and tunes. Rev. Washington Gladden
was the associate editor of the first, and has been a valued adviser in preparation
of the present edition. The lamented Frederic Field Bullard for the former,
and Prof. John P. Marshall of Boston University for the latter, have served
as expert musical advisers.
The Hymnal has been made more complete as a manual of worship by
inclusion of liturgical material from the Bible, prepared for responsive, and
unison readings. These have now been thoroughly restudied and, for the pur-
poses of worship, improved in numberless details. There is a larger use of the
familiar phrase of the old version, but later texts and renderings have been re-
sorted to when sense is thereby cleared or rhythmic smoothness gained. These
readings as they stood have abundantly approved themselves in use, and the
grateful appreciation of worshippers who confess their benefit from them should
first of all be credited to Rev. Lucius H. Thayer of Portsmouth, N. H., who
planned, and chiefly worked into form, the whole collection.
We would also record our obligations, —
To those who have gone before us in the work of gathering and editing
for use hymns and tunes, and especially to such accomplished editors and
hymn-lovers as Rev. Frederick M. Bird, Rev. William C. Gannett, Rev. W.
Garrett Horder, Rev. John Hunter, who have cordially encouraged and assisted
us in our work ; and most of all to Rev. John J. Julian, whose great Diction-
ary of Hymnology, in its latest edition, has generally been accepted, whenever
available, as authority for data, as to hymns and authors ;
To the many authors who will find their hymns included in this collection,
but in especial measure to the following named hymn-writers who have
not only given consent to the use of their hymns, but have been interested
to furnish the preferred text, or even to revise their hymns, if this seemed
advantageous, or to help in the choice of fitting titles and tunes :

Ferdinand Q. Blanchard, Mr. Robert Bridges, Rev. John W. Chadwick,
Pres. Samuel V. Cole, Rev. George T. Coster, Rev. Charles A. Dickinson,
Bishop William C. Doane, Rev. Wm. C. Gannett, Rev. Washington Glad-

The Lord will come and not be slow
The morning light is breaking * . . .
The old year's long campaign is o'er *
The peace which God bestows . . .
The radiant mom hath passed away
The saints of God! Their conflict past
The sands of time are sinking . .
The shadows of the evening hours
The Son of God goes forth to war *
The spacious firmament on high . .
The Spirit breathes upon the word
The strife is o'er, the battle done .
The sun is sinking fast
The sweet June days have come again
The twilight falls, the night is near
There are coming changes great
There is a book, who runs may read
There is a green hill far away * . .
There is a land of pure delight . .
There is a safe and secret place . .
There is no sorrow, Lord, too light
There's a Friend for little children *
(There's a wideness in God's mercy)
These things shall be, — a loftier race
They who seek the throne of grace .
Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
This is the day of light
Thou art, O God, the life and light .
Thou didst leave thy throne * . . . .
Thou Grace divine, encircling all . .
Thou Gracious Power whose mercy lends
Thou hidden love of God, whose height
Thou hidden Source of calm repose . .
Thou Life within my life, than self . .
Thou Lord, art love, and ever>'where .
Thou Lord of hosts, whose guiding hand
Thou Lord of Ufe, our saving health . .
Thou who dost all things give
Thou whose almighty word
Though home be dear, and life be sweet
Though lowly here our lot may be * . .
Throned upon the awful tree
Through all the changing scenes of life .
Through the day thy love has spared us
Through the night of doubt and sorrow *
Thus heaven is gathering, one by one
Thy home is with the humble. Lord .
Thy kingdom come, O Lord ....
Thy kingdom come! on bended knee
Thy life was given for me

Watchman, tell us of the night
We bless thee for thy peace, O God . . .
We come unto our fathers' God ....
We give thee but thine own
We join with all, in every place
We love the venerable house
(We may not climb the heavenly steeps) See
We plough the fields, and scatter * . . .
We stand in deep repentance
Weary of earth, and laden with my sin . .
'Welcome, happy morning! '
AMiat grace, O Lord, and beauty shone .

When morning gilds the skies *
When mother love makes all things bright *
WTien my love to Christ grows weak . .
When on my day of life the night ....
When our heads are bowed with woe . .
When shadows gather on our way . . .
When spring's soft breath, and softer * .
When the day of toil is done
\\Tien the Lord of Love was here * . . .

When thy heart, with joy o'erflowing *
When thy soldiers take their swords .
When wilt thou save the people . .

While thee I seek, protecting Power .
While with ceaseless course the sun .
Who calls the glorious labor hard . .
Who trusts in God, a strong abode .
