Echoes from Heaven

Refrain: Hear the echoes filled with glory, From the bright angelic throng; Oh, the pure seraphic music Finds an echo in our song, While it gently rolls along. 2 How they stir the soul with rapture! How they thrill the chords of love! How they wake the songs of praises, Floating up to worlds above! [Refrain] 3 Far away in worlds of glory, We can hear the music sweet, Where the streams of life are flowing All along the golden street. [Refrain] 4 Far away in fields of glory We shall meet, and God adore; And the sweet redemption story We shall sing forevermore. [Refrain] Select Hymns, 1911 (Timeless Truths) Used With Tune: [Far away among the angels]

Great Redeemer, Friend Of Sinners

Author: William Williams, 1717-1791; William Griffiths, 1777-1825 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great Redeemer, friend of sinners, Thou hast wondrous power to save; Grant me grace, and still protect me, Over life’s tempestuous wave: May my soul with sacred transport, View the dawn while yet afar, And until the sun arises, Lead me by the morning star. 2 O! what madness! O! what folly, That my heart should go astray; After vain and foolish trifles, Trifles only of a day: This vain world with all its pleasures, Very soon will be no more; There’s no object worth admiring, But the God whom we adore. 3 See the happy spirits waiting, On the banks beyond the stream, Sweet responders still repeating, Jesus, Jesus is their theme: Hark! they whisper, lo! they call me, Sister spirit, come away; Lo! I come, earth can’t contain me, Hail the realms of endless day. 4 Swiftly roll, ye lingering hours, Seraphs, lend your glittering wings; Love absorbs my ransom powers, Heavenly song around me rings, Worlds of light and crowns of glory, Far above yon azure sky, Only now by faith I see you; Soon I hope to dwell on high. Used With Tune: ALEXANDER Text Sources: Tr.: Social and Campmeeting Songs For the Pious, 4th ed. (Baltimore: Armstrong & Plaskitt, 1822)

Sirach’s Prayer for a Happy and Temperate Life

Author: Paul Gerhardt; J. Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Creator, Father, Prince of might! Lyrics: Creator, Father, Prince of might! Who life to me art giving, Unless Thou guid’st my life aright In vain here am I living. For while I’m living, I am dead, To sin devoted ever; Whose life in mire of sin is led, The true life he hath never Beheld one moment even. Then turn on Thy poor child Thy face, In darkness do not leave me; That I may shun sin and disgrace, Good counsel ever give me! To keep my lips a guard, Lord, send, May no word ever leave them That e’er Thy people could offend Let nought I say e’er grieve them, Nor ever Thee dishonour! Forbid, Father! that mine ear Upon this earth so evil, Against Thy name and pow’r should hear The wicked rage and cavil. Let not the poison and the gall Of slanderers defile me; If I such filth should touch at all It surely would beguile me, Might e’en quite overthrow me. Lord, keep mine eyes, control their glance, May they work evil never; A bold and shameless countenance Keep Thou far from me ever! What’s honest, keeps due boundaries, What angels seek in heaven, What is well-pleasing in Thine eyes, For it by me be striven, All luxury disdaining. Oh! may I ne’er delighted be By revelling and eating; Be what Thou lov’st belov’d by me, Though others shun it, hating. The lusts wherein the flesh doth roll, To hell will draw us ever; The joys the world doth love, the soul And spirit will deliver To torment everlasting. Oh! happy he who eats heav’n’s bread, And heav’nly water drinketh, Who tastes nought else, nought else doth heed, Nought else desires, and thinketh Of that alone which strength can bring, The life we’ll live for ever With God, and with the hosts who sing His praise, in joy that never Shall know an interruption. Paul Gerhardt’s Spiritual Songs, 1867
