A charge to keep I have

Hymnal: BW1870 #428 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky; 2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil; Oh, may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in Thy sight to live; And oh! Thy servant, Lord, prepare, A strict account to give. 4 Help me to watch and pray, And on Thyself rely, Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die.

A few more years shall roll

Hymnal: BW1870 #586 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come; And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore; And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that calm day; O wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 3 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that blest day; Oh, wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 4 A few more Sabbaths here Shall cheer us on our way: And we shall reach the endless rest, Th'eternal Sabbath-day: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that sweet day; Oh, wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 5 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

A glory gilds the sacred page

Hymnal: BW1870 #251 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun; It gives a light to ev'ry age, It gives--but borrows none. 2 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat: His truths upon the nations rise, They rise, but never set. 3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine, For such a bright display, As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 4 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of Him I love, Till glory breaks upon my view In brighter worlds above.

A mighty stronghold is our God

Hymnal: BW1870 #602 (1870) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 A mighty stronghold is our God, A sure defence and weapon; He helps us free from every need Which hath us now o'ertaken. The old angry foe Now means us deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight,-- On earth is not his equal. 2 In our own strength can naught be done-- Our loss were soon effected; There fights for us the Proper One, By God himself elected. Ask you who frees us? It is Christ Jesus-- The Lord Sabaoth, There is no other God; He'll hold the field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All waiting to devour us; We'll still succeed, so God hath willed,-- They cannot overpower us: The Prince of this world To hell shall be hurled; He seeks to alarm, But shall do us no harm; The smallest Word can fell him. 4 The Word they still must let remain, And for that have no merit; For he is with us on the plain, By his good gifts and Spirit: Destroy they our life, Goods, fame, child and wife? Let all pass amain, They still no conquest gain, For ours is still the kingdom. Topics: Reformation Festival Languages: English

A pilgrim and a stranger

Hymnal: BW1870 #380 (1870) Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below: Far distant is my country, The home to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and opprest, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call thy servant To blessedness with Thee! Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace! 3 There I shall dwell forever, No more a stranger guest, With all thy blood-bought children, In everlasting rest: The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before!

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Hymnal: BW1870 #121 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world The blessèd Saviour passed; A mourner all His life was He, A dying Lamb at last! 2 That tender heart, which felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place Save only in the grave! 3 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreath'd His brow with thorn? 4 No: facing all its frowns or smiles, Like Him, obedient still, We homeward press, through storm or calm To Zion’s blessèd hill. 5 Dead to the world, with Him who died to win our hearts, our love, We, risen with our risen Head, In spirit dwell above.

Abide with me; fast falls the even-tide

Hymnal: BW1870 #532 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the even-tide; The darkness deepens: Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me. 4 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes, Shine, through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

According to Thy gracious word

Hymnal: BW1870 #261 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice! I must remember Thee:-- 5 Remember Thee and all Thy pains, And all Thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and mem'ry flee, When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.

Affliction is a stormy deep

Hymnal: BW1870 #462 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Affliction is a stormy deep, Where wave resounds to wave; Though o'er my head the billows roll, I know the Lord can save. 2 The hand that now withholds my joys Can reinstate my peace; And He who bade the tempest roar, Can bid that tempest cease. 3 In the dark watches of the night, I'll count His mercies o'er; I'll praise Him for ten thousand past, And humbly sue for more. 4 When darkness and when sorrows rose And press'd on every side, The Lord has still sustain'd my steps, And still has been my guide. 5 Here will I rest, and build my hopes, Nor murmur at His rod; He's more than all the world to me, My health, my life, my God!

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Hymnal: BW1870 #128 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut its glories in, when God, the mighty Maker, died for his own creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of tears can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.

Ye saints, extol your risen Lord, And sing His praise with sweet accord. 2 Behold the Lamb of God, The atoning Sacrifice, Sustains the dreadful load Of man's iniquities; Death, sin, and hell, our cruel foes, All vanquish'd fell when Jesus rose. 3 The Conqueror ascends In triumph to the skies: Celestial hosts attend, To crown His victories; Hark! they proclaim His glorious name; And heaven resounds Immanuel's fame. 4 Now to the throne above Let ev'ry saint draw near; There dwells incarnate love; Grace sits triumphant there; See mercy smile, e'en on that throne Where once did wrath and justice frown.
