Ye holy angels bright

Author: Richard Baxter; Richard R. Chope Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: Ye holy angels bright, Who wait at God's right hand, Or through the realms of light Fly at your Lord's command, Assist our song, For else the theme Too high doth seem For mortal tongue. Ye blessèd souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race And now, from sin released, Behold the Savior's face, God's praises sound, As in his light With sweet delight Ye do abound. Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what he gives And praise him still, Through good or ill, Who ever lives! My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er he send, Be filled with praise.

O wondrous type! O vision fair

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: O wondrous type! O vision fair Of glory that the Church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows Where brighter than the sun he glows! From age to age the tale declare How with the three disciples there, Where Moses and Elias meet, The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 262 With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest today What glory shall be theirs above Who joy in God with perfect love. And faithful hearts are raised on high By this great vision's mystery; For which in joyful strains we raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise. O Father, with the eternal Son, And Holy Spirit, ever One, Vouchsafe to bring us by thy grace To see thy glory face to face. Amen.

Around the throne of God a band

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: Around the throne of God a band Of bright and glorious angels stand; Sweet harps within their hands they hold, And on their heads are crowns of gold. Some wait around him ready still To sing his praise and do his will, And some, when he commands them, go To guard his servants here below. Lord, give thine angels every day Command to guard us on our way, And bid them every evening keep Their watch around us while we sleep. So shall no wicked thing draw near To do us harm, or cause us fear; And we shall dwell, when life is past, With angels round thy throne at last. Amen.

O for a closer walk with God

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,373 hymnals Lyrics: O for a closer walk with God, A calm and heavenly frame, A light to shine upon the road That leads me to the Lamb! Return, O holy Dove, return, Sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made thee mourn, And drove thee from my breast. The dearest idol I have known, Whate'er that idol be, Help me to tear it from thy throne, And worship only thee. 280 So shall my walk be close with God, Calm and serene my frame; So purer light shall mark the road That leads me to the Lamb. O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore. Amen.

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Author: Isaac Watts; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 968 hymnals Lyrics: Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and he destroy. His sovereign power without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. We are his people, we his care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honours shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy Name? We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heaven our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth must stand, When rolling years shall cease to move. Praise God, from whom all blessings flow! Praise him, all creatures here below! Praise him above, ye heavenly host! Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 552 hymnals Lyrics: The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wandering steps he leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 291 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade. Amen. O God the Father, God the Son, And God the Spirit, Three in One, Be glory in the highest given, By all in earth, and all in heaven, As was through ages heretofore, Is now, and shall be evermore. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Introits Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: CAREY

We give Thee but Thine own

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 489 hymnals Lyrics: We give thee but thine own, Whate'er the gift may be: All that we have is thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from thee. May we thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as thou blessest us, To thee our first-fruits give. O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the Fold! To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless Is angels' work below. The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christ-like thing. And we believe thy word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto thee. Amen. Topics: Offertory; Sunday Schools General Use Used With Tune: CAMBRIDGE

According to Thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 551 hymnals Lyrics: According to thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember thee. Thy Body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; The cup, thy precious Blood, I take, And thus remember thee. Gethsemane, can I forget? Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat. And not remember thee? When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember thee. And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When thou shalt in thy kingdom come, Then, Lord, remember me. Amen.
