Lord, Speak to Me

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 467 hymnals First Line: Lord, speak to me, that I may speak Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak in living echoes of thy tone; as thou hast sought, so let me seek thy erring children, lost and lone. 2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead the wand'ring and the wav'ring feet. O feed me, Lord, that I may feed thy hung'ring ones with manna sweet. 3 O strengthen me that while I stand firm on the Rock, and strong in thee, I may stretch out a healing hand, filled with thine own great charity. 4 O fill me with your fullness, Lord, until my heart shall o'erflow in kindling thought and glowing word, thy love to tell, thy praise to show. 5 So send me, Lord, and let me be an incarnation of thy care, until thy blessed face I see, thy rest, thy joy, thy glory share.

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died, Of Him who died upon the cross. The sinner's hope let all deride; For this we count the world but loss. 2 Inscribed upon the cross we see In shining letters, "God is love." He bears our sins upon the tree; He brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross! It takes our guilt away; It holds the fainting spirit up; It cheers with hope the gloomy day And sweetens ev'ry bitter cup. 4 It makes the coward spirit brave And nerves the feeble arm for fight; It takes the terror from the grave And gilds the bed of death with light; 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, The measure and the pledge of love, The sinner's refuge here below, The angels' theme in heav'n above. 6 To Christ, who won for sinners grace By bitter grief and anguish sore, Be praise from all the ransomed race Forever and forevermore. Scripture: Galatians 6:14 Used With Tune: WINDHAM Text Sources: Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1861 (st. 6)

That day of wrath, that dreadful day

Author: Walter Scott, 1771 - 1832 Appears in 348 hymnals Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away, What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? A-men. 2 When, shrivelling like a parchèd scroll, The flaming heavens together roll; When, louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the dead; 3 Lord, on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be thou the trembling sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away! Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Used With Tune: WINDHAM Text Sources: Founded on Dies Irae
