Today, O Lord, a Holier Work

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler & others Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Today, O Lord, a holier work Thy secret counsels frame, A king to rule Thy new made world, To praise Thy glorious name. 2. Thou formest man: Thy Spirit breathes Life into dust of earth: Man, in Thine own true image made, From Thee receives his birth. 3. And henceforth he dominion holds O’er all in earth and sea; Yet mindful whence his being came Must humbly walk with Thee. 4. Alas! his willful heart rebels Against Thy gentle sway; Proud dust of earth would fain be like The God whom all obey. 5. O griefs and sorrows numberless, Which hence the world o’erspread; Jesu, Thy mercy succored us, Or hope itself had fled. 6. O praise the Father, and the Son Who saved us by His death, And Holy Ghost who quickens us With His life giving breath. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: Paris Breviary, 1736; translated by John Chandler & the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern

Our Savior's Voice Is Soft and Sweet

Author: Elizabeth R. Parson, 1812-1873 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Our Savior’s voice is soft and sweet When, bending from above, He bids us gather round His feet, And calls us by His love. 2. But while our thankful hearts rejoice That thus He bids us come, Jesus! we cry with pleading voice, Bring heathen wand’rers home. 3. They never heard the Savior’s name, They have not learned His way; They do not know His grace who came To take their sins away. 4. Dear Savior, let the joyful sound In distant lands be heard; And, oh! wherever sin is found, Send forth Thy pardoning Word. 5. And if our lips may breathe a prayer, Though raised in trembling fear, Oh! let Thy grace our hearts prepare, And choose some heralds here. Used With Tune: EVAN

Bright Was the Guiding Star That Led

Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Bright was the guiding star that led, With mild, benignant ray, The Gentiles to the lowly shed, Where the Redeemer lay. 2. But lo! a brighter, clearer, light Now points to His abode; It shines, through sin and sorrow’s night, To guide us to our God. 3. Oh! haste to follow where it leads The gracious call obey; Be rugged wilds, or flowery meads, The Christian’s destined way. 4. Oh! gladly tread the narrow path, While light and grace are given; Who meekly follow Christ on earth Shall reign with Him in Heaven. Used With Tune: ST. ETHELDREDA Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1829

How Helpless Guilty Nature Lies

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 233 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How helpless guilty nature lies, Unconscious of its load! The heart, unchanged, can never rise To happiness and God. 2. Can aught, beneath a power divine, The stubborn will subdue? ’Tis Thine, almighty Spirit! Thine, To form the heart anew. 3. ’Tis Thine, the passions to recall, And upward bid them rise; To make the scales of error fall From reason’s darkened eyes; 4. To chase the shades of death away, And bid the sinner live; A beam of Heaven, a vital ray, ’Tis Thine alone to give. 5. O change these wretched hearts of ours, And give them life divine; Then shall our passions and our powers Almighty Lord! be Thine. Used With Tune: BEMERTON (Greatorex) Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760
