Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n

Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Faith; Third Sunday after Epiphany; First Sunday after Easter; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living pow'r from heav'n, That grasps the promise God hath giv'n, A confidence in Christ alone, Whose grace cannot be overthrown. 2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace, And bids the mourner’s weeping cease; By faith the children’s place we claim And give all honor to One Name. 3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath In love and hope that conquer death; Faith worketh joyfulness in God And trusts and blesses e’en the rod. 4 We thank Thee, then, O God of heaven, That Thou to us this faith hast given; Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace Till we shall see Thee face to face.

O for a Faith that will not shrink

Author: William Hiley Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 712 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Trust; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 O for a Faith that will not shrink, Though prest by many a foe; That will not tremble on the brink Of poverty or woe; 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod: But in the hour of grief or pain Can lean upon its God. 3 A Faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt: 4 That bears unmoved the world's dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That sin's wild ocean cannot drown, Nor Satan's arts beguile: 5 A Faith that keeps the narrow way Till life's last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed. 6 Lord, give us such a Faith as this, And then whate'er may come, We'll taste e'en here the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 855 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Lyrics: 1. Hail to the Lord's Anointed, great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, his reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free; to take away transgression, and rule in equity. 2. He comes with succor speedy to those who suffer wrong; to help the poor and needy, and bid the weak be strong; to give them songs for sighing, their darkness turn to light, whose souls, condemned and dying, are precious in his sight. 3. He shall come down like showers upon the fruitful earth; love, joy, and hope, like flowers, spring in his path to birth. Before him on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, and righteousness, in fountains, from hill to valley flow. 4. To him shall prayer unceasing and daily vows ascend; his kingdom still increasing, a kingdom without end. The tide of time shall never his covenant remove; his name shall stand forever; that name to us is love. The United Methodist Hymnal
