Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace

Author: William Henry Burleigh Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; Without thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth; Unhelped by thee, in error's maze we grope, While passion stains, and folly dims our youth, And age comes on, uncheered by faith and hope. Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a darksome night, Only with thee we journey safely on. Lead us, O Father, to thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be, Through joy or sorrows as thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in thee. Amen.

Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 314 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand th'eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lay. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heav'nly table spread for me; here let me feast, and feasting still prolong this hallowed hour of fellowship with thee. 4 Too soon we rise: the symbols disappear; the feast, though not the love, is past and gone; the bread and wine remove, but thou art here, nearer than ever, still my Shield and Sun. 5 I have no help but thine; nor do I need another arm save thine to lean upon; it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; my strength is in thy might, thy might alone. 6 Feast after fear thus comes and passes by, yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, the Lamb's great bridal feast of bliss and love. 6 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing Blood. Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; thy Blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God! Scripture: Revelation 19:9 Used With Tune: LANGRAN

Come, Take by Faith the Body of the Lord

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 118 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, take by faith the body of the Lord, and drink the blood of Christ for us outpoured. Praise and confess the wonders of his grace: to rescue us, he suffered in our place. 2 Led to the slaughter as the Lamb of God, our Savior bought us with his precious blood. Remember how he bore our curse and shame; until he comes, let us his death proclaim. 3 Come, let us then with contrite hearts draw near to seek the pledges of his mercy here. He, who his saints in this world rules and shields, to all believers life eternal yields. 4 With heavenly bread he makes the hungry whole, gives living waters to the thirsty soul. Let us his holy supper celebrate and, so refreshed, our coming King await.

Whitmore Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, again in Jesus' name we meet and bow in penitence beneath thy feet; again to thee our feeble voices raise to sue for mercy and to sing thy praise. 2 O we would bless thee for thy ceaseless care and all thy works from day to day declare. Is not our life with hourly mercies crowned? Does not thine arm encircle us around? 3 Alas, unworthy of thy boundless love, too oft our feet from thee, our Father, rove; but now, encouraged by thy voice, we come, returning sinners, to a Father's home. 4 O by that name in whom all fullness dwells, O by that love which ev'ry love excels, O by that blood so freely shed for sin, open blest mercy's gate and take us in.

Not What I Am, O Lord

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: Not what I am, O Lord, but what Thou art Lyrics: 1. Not what I am, O Lord, but what Thou art, That, that alone can be my soul’s true rest: Thy love, not mine, bids fear and doubt depart, And stills the tempest of my throbbing breast. 2. Thy name is Love, I hear it from yon cross; Thy name is Love, I hear it from yon tomb: All meaner love is perishable dross, But this shall light me through time’s thickest gloom. 3. Girt with the love of God on every side, Breathing that love as Heav’ns own healing air, I work or wait, still following my Guide, Braving each foe, escaping every snare. 4. ’Tis what I know of Thee, my Lord and God, That fills my soul with peace, my lips with song: Thou art my health, my joy, my staff and rod; Leaning on Thee, in weakness I am strong. 5. More of Thyself, O show me hour by hour; More of Thy glory, O my God and Lord: More of Thyself, in all Thy grace and power; More of Thy love and truth, incarnate Word!

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr. Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 43 hymnals First Line: Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile Lyrics: 1. Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile; Weary, I know it, of the press and throng, Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil, And in My quiet strength again be strong. 2. Come ye aside from all the world holds dear, For converse which the world has never known, Alone with Me and with My Father here, With Me and with My Father not alone. 3. Come, tell Me all that ye have said and done, Your victories and failures, hopes and fears. I know how hardly souls are wooed and won: My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears. 4. Come ye and rest: the journey is too great, And ye will faint beside the way and sink: The Bread of Life is here for you to eat, And here for you the Wine of Love to drink. 5. Then, fresh from converse with your Lord, return And work till daylight softens into ev’n; The brief hours are not lost in which ye learn More of your Master and His rest in Heav’n.

Come Thou, O God, to save us and restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 2 How long, O Lord, wilt Thou disdain our prayer? For Thou hast fed us with the bread of tears, And bitter sorrow Thou hast made us share; The nations round us mock with scornful jeers. O God of Hosts, Thy people now restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 3 A vine Thou broughtest forth from Egypt's land; The nations were thrust out to give it room; It took deep root, it spread on ev'ry hand, The hills were covered with its shade and bloom; Its boughs were like great cedars spreading wide; They reached the sea, its roots the riverside. 4 Why hast Thou broken down its circling wall That they may pluck who pass along the way? Wild beasts from out the wood destroy it all And feed upon Thy vine by night and day. O God of Hosts, we pray Thee now, restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more. 5 Look down, behold and visit this Thy vine Which Thou hast planted with Thy own right hand, The branch Thou madest strong and owned it Thine, For it is burned with fire, no more to stand; Thy people perish in Thy anger sore Because Thy face now shines on them no more. 6 O let Thy hand Thy chosen one sustain, The son of man Thou madest strong to be; So we shall faithful to Thy cause remain; Revive Thou us, and we will call on Thee. Jehovah, God of Hosts, again restore; We shall be saved when shines Thy face once more.

For this New Year we humbly ask Your grace; Help us to always see Your loving face Shining upon us, bringing peace within, Keeping our feet from paths of mortal sin. 2. Dear Lord, we ask that we would always be Open to You, and that all men may see In how we treat them that we’ve made a pact. To let Your love shine through our ev’ry act. 3. Within our fam’lies may we know Your peace; As we share moments let our love increase. Teach us to share with those we truly love As we would do so in that home above. 4. Now for Your church, Lord, we would give You thanks, All kinds of people making up her ranks; Help her be true in all she longs to do That ev’ry act shall praise and honor You. 5. For this Your world, dear Lord, we beg You now Beat ev’ry sword blade into humble plow; We seek that peace that we can help to bring When we acknowledge You as Lord and King. 6.
