When Far Astray
Author: Salathial C. Kirk Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10980 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: When far astray in sin, one day Lyrics: 1 When far astray in sin, one day
The loving Savior passed my way;
As helpless, sick, and sore I lay
Deep in the pit and miry clay.
2 He stooped and touched me in my shame;
I felt His touch, I breathed His name;
A thrill divine went through my soul—
I felt that touch had made me whole.
3 "For you I drank the bitter cup,"
Thus Jesus said, and raised me up;
He raised me up, O praise the Lamb,
From what I was to what I am!
4 I know the depths from whence I came;
Thou knowest, too, how weak my frame;
Keep Thou my hand within Thine own,
For, O, I dare not walk alone!
5 Close by the side of such a friend,
Whose love could such a depth descend,
I shall not wander from the fold,
For power to save is grace to hold. Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED

The World He Made He Still Sustains
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11105 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 The world He made He still sustains,
When then dost thou, O Israel, say,
"My God forgets His people’s pains;
His Jacob is a castaway"?
2 Repent thee of thy peevish haste,
Recall the rash desponding word,
No more complain, "The hour is past,
And I have wearied out my Lord."
3 Hast thou not heard, hast thou not known,
The everlasting God, that laid
The earth’s foundations, rules alone,
Nor faints to bear the world He made?
4 Jehovah is unchangeable,
His ways, and thought, are not as ours,
He cheers the languid souls that fail,
And quickens all their drooping powers.
5 Gently He lifts the fallen up,
He gives them faith, and faith’s increase,
Revives their feeble, dying hope,
And fills with love, and joy and peace.
6 Blasted, the vigor of the young
Shall fade, and suddenly decay;
The bold, and confident, and strong,
Shall fear, despair, and die away.
7 But they who wait upon the Lord
Shall surely find His promise true,
Receive the quickening powerful Word,
And, born of God, their strength renew.
8 Their willing souls from sin set free,
Shall swiftly in His statutes move,
Shall walk in glorious liberty,
Shall fly upon the wings of love.
9 With eagle’s wings their souls shall rise,
Steady and strong to Heaven soar,
Regain on earth their native skies,
And faint, and fall, and sin no more. Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED
The World He Made He Still Sustains
Lord, In Thy Field I Work All Day
Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11130 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 "Lord, in Thy field I work all day,
I read, I teach, I warn, I pray,
And yet these willful wandering sheep
Within Thy fold I cannot keep.
2 "I journey, yet no step is won—
Alas! the weary course I run!
Like sailors shipwrecked in their dreams
All powerless and benighted seems."
3 What? wearied out with half a life?
Scared with this smooth unbloody strife?
Think where thy coward hopes had flown,
Had Heaven held out the martyr’s crown.
4 How couldst thou hang upon the cross,
To whom a weary hour is loss?
Or how the thorns and scourging brook,
Who shrinkest from a scornful look?
5 Yet ere thy craven spirit faints,
Hear thine own king, the King of saints;
Though thou wert toiling in the grave,
’Tis He can cheer thee, He can save.
6 He is th’ eternal mirror bright,
Where angels view the Father’s light,
And yet in Him the simplest swain
May read his homely lesson plain.
7 Early to quit His home on earth,
And claim His high celestial birth,
Alone with His true Father found
Within the temple’s solemn round:
8 Yet in meek duty to abide
For many a year at Mary’s side,
Nor heed, though restless spirits ask,
"What? hath the Christ forgot His task?"
9 Conscious of Deity within,
To bow before an heir of sin,
With folded arms on humble breast,
By His own servant washed and blest:
10 With hymns of angels in His ears,
Back to His task of woe and tears,
Unmurmuring through the world to roam
With not a wish or thought of home:
11 All but Himself to heal and save,
Till ripened for the cross and grave,
He to His Father gently yield
The breath that our redemption sealed:
12 Then to unearthly life arise,
Yet not at once to seek the skies,
But glide away from saint to saint,
Lest on our lonely way we faint;
13 And through the cloud by glimpses show
How bright, in Heaven, the marks will glow
Of the true cross, imprinted deep
Both on the Shepherd and the sheep:
14 When out of sight, in heart and prayer
Thy chosen people still to bear,
And from behind Thy glorious veil,
Shed light that cannot change or fail:
15 This is Thy pastoral course, O Lord,
Till we be saved, and Thou adored;
Thy course and ours—but who are they
Who follow on the narrow way?
16 And yet of Thee from year to year
The Church’s solemn chant we hear,
As from Thy cradle to Thy throne
She swells her high heart-cheering tone.
17 Listen, ye pure white robèd souls,
Whom in her list she now enrolls,
And gird yet from your high emprize
By these her thrilling minstrelsies.
18 And wheresoe’er, in earth’s wide field,
Ye lift, for Him, the red-cross shield,
Be this your song your joy and pride—
"Our Champion went before and died."

The New Song
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12668 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Beyond the hills where suns go down Lyrics: 1 Beyond the hills where suns go down,
And brightly beckon as they go;
I see the land of far renown,
The land which I so soon shall know.
2 Above the dissonance of time,
And discord of its angry words,
I hear the everlasting chime,
The music of unjarring chords.
3 I bid it welcome; and my haste
To join it cannot brook delay;
O song of morning, come at last,
And ye who sing it, come away!
4 O song of light, and dawn, and bliss,
Sound over earth, and fill these skies,
Nor ever, ever, ever cease
Thy soul entrancing melodies.
5 Glad song of this disburdened earth,
Which holy voices then shall sing;
Praise for creation’s second birth,
And glory to creation’s king! Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED

Father In Heav'n, Look Down, I Pray
Author: Grace W. Hinsdale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15346 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Father in Heav’n, look down, I pray Lyrics: 1 Father in Heav’n, look down, I pray,
And guide my steps throughout the day;
Let not my thoughts to sin incline,
But fill me with Thy grace divine.
2 Let all my words and actions be
Restrained and governed, Lord, by Thee;
Bless my dear friends whom Thou has giv’n
To teach my soul the way to Heav’n.
3 Bless me, dear Lord, again I pray;
Let nothing tempt me from the way
Which leads at last, through Jesus’ love
To that sweet home of joy above. Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED

When Israel out of Egypt went
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #39 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Trinity Hymnal Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt went,
From people of a speech unknown,
The Lord among his people dwelt,
And there he set his royal throne.
2 The sea beheld and fled away,
The Jordan's waters backward turned,
The lofty mountains and the hills
With trembling awe our God discerned.
3 What aileth thee, O troubled sea?
Thou Jordan, why thy riven tide?
Ye mountains and ye little hills,
Why thus dismayed on ev'ry side?
4 O tremble, earth, before the Lord,
In presence of Jehovah fear,
Beneath whose touch the flinty rock
Became a fount of waters clear.
