Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin?

Author: Edward Henry Bickersteth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #413 (1917) Person Name: G. T. Caldbeck Lyrics: 1 Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The Blood of Jesus whispers peace within. 2 Peace, perfect peace, by thronging duties pressed? To do the will of Jesus, this is rest. 3 Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round? On Jesus' bosom naught but calm is found. 4 Peace, perfect peace, with loved ones far away? In Jesus' keeping we are safe and they. 5 Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown? Jesus we know, and He is on the throne. 6 Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. 7 It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease, And Jesus call us to heaven's perfect peace. Amen.

I lay my sins on Jesus

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: LHTC1918 #338 (1917) Person Name: John B. Calkin Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus, The spotless Lamb of God; He bears them all, and frees us From the accursèd load. I bring my guilt to Jesus To wash my crimson stains White, in His Blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus: All fullness dwells in Him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy child; I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng; To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angels' song.

When in the hour of utmost need

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Eber; Joachim Camerarius Hymnal: LHTC1918 #498 (1917) Person Name: Joachim Camerarius Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of utmost need We know not where to look for aid, When days and nights of anxious thought Nor help nor counsel yet have brought; 2 Then this our comfort is alone, That we may meet before Thy throne, And cry, O faithful God, to Thee For rescue from our misery; 3 To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes, Repenting sore with bitter sighs, And seek Thy pardon for our sin, And respite from our griefs within. 4 For Thou hast promised graciously To hear all those who cry to Thee, Through Him Whose Name alone is great, Our Saviour and our Advocate. 5 O, hide not for our sins Thy face, Absolve us through Thy boundless grace, Be with us in our anguish still, Free us at last from every ill; 6 That so with all our hearts we may To Thee our glad thanksgiving pay, And walk obedient to Thy Word, And now and ever praise the Lord.

Then joy and peace and comfort Shall blossom as a rose, Until our earthly blessings The worth of heaven disclose. [Refrain] Amen.

Caswall Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding: "Christ is nigh," it seems to say: "Cast away the works of darkness, O ye children of the day!" 2 Startled at the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, our Sun, all sloth dispelling, Shines upon the morning skies. 3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heaven; Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all, to be forgiven. 4 So, when next He comes in glory, And the world is wrapped in fear, May He then as our Defender On the clouds of heaven appear. 5 Honor, glory, might and blessing To the Father and the Son, With the Ever-living Spirit One in Three, and Three in One.

To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth, Be glory and honor through heaven and earth; True Godhead incarnate, omnipotent Word!

When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Saviour of our race, And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face Evermore and evermore. 3 O ye heights of heaven adore Him; Angel-hosts, His praises sing; Powers, dominions, bow before Him And extol our God and King; Let no tongue on earth be silent, Every voice in concert ring Evermore and evermore. 4 Christ, to Thee, with God the Father, And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee, Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving And unending praises be, Honor, glory and dominion, And eternal victory, Evermore and evermore.
