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 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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

Hymnal: BW1870 #560 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blesséd sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep; A calm and undisturb'd repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 2 Asleep in Jesus! oh, how sweet, To be for such a slumber meet; With holy confidence to sing That Death has lost his venom'd sting. 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely :; No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Saviour's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus! oh, for me May such a blissful refuge be: Securely shall my ashes lie, And wait the summons from on high. 5 Asleep in Jesus! time nor space Affects this precious hiding-place: On Indian plains or Lapland snows Believers find the same repose. 6 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be: But there is still a blesséd sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep.

Awake, and sing the song

Soon will He call us hence away To our eternal home. 6 There shall our raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim, And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb.

I my vows to Thee renew: disperse my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill. 4 Direct, control, suggest, this day All I design to do or say; That all my powers with all their might, In thy sole glory may unite. 5 All praise to Thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refresh'd me, while I slept!

For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay-- Gifts of Thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in Thy word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth! hear Thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own, Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship Him alone; Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power He comes, Oh, may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

Behold a stranger at the door

Hymnal: BW1870 #283 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold a stranger at the door; He gently knocks, has knock'd before; Hath waited long, is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. 2 O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and loaded hands; Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes! 3 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need; The friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 4 Rise, touch'd with gratitude divine; Turn out His enemy and thine, That soul-destroying monster sin, And let the heavenly Stranger in. 5 Admit Him e're His anger burn, His feet departed ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand You'll at His door rejected stand.

Behold th' amazing sight

Hymnal: BW1870 #131 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold th'amazing sight, The Saviour lifted high! Behold the Son of God's delight Expire in agony? 2 For whom, for whom, my heart, Were all these sorrows borne! Why did He feel that piercing smart, And meet that various scorn? 3 For love of us He bled, And all in torture died; 'Twas love that bow'd His fainting head, And oped His gushing side. 4 In sympathy of love Let all the earth combine; And, drawn by cords so gentle, prove The energy divine. 5 In Him our hearts unite, Nor share His griefs alone, But from His cross pursue their flight To His triumphant throne.

Behold, the blind their sight receive!

Hymnal: BW1870 #123 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the blind their sight receive! Behold, the dead awake and live! The dumb speak wonders, and the lame Leap like the hart, and bless His name. 2 Thus doth th'eternal Spirit own And seal the mission of the Son; The Father vindicates His cause, While He hangs bleeding on the cross. 3 He dies; the heavens in mourning stood; He rises, and appears a God. Behold the Lord ascending high, No more to bleed, no more to die. 4 Hence, and forever, from my heart I bid my doubts and fears depart; And to those hands my soul resign, Which bear credentials so divine.
