This is the day of light

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: HPEC1871 #159 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Person Name: John Ellerton Lyrics: 1 This is the day of light: Let there be light to-day; O Day-spring, rise upon our night, And chase its gloom away. 2 This is the day of rest: Our failing strength renew; On weary brain and troubled breast Shed Thou Thy freshening dew. 3 This is the day of peace: Thy peace our spirit's fill; Bid Thou the blasts of discord cease, The waves of strife be still. 4 This is the day of prayer: Let earth to heaven draw near; Lift up our hearts to seek Thee there, Come down to meet us here. 5 This is the First of days: Send forth Thy quickening breath, And wake dead souls to love and praise, O Vanquisher of death!

Thy will be done

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: HPEC1871 #256 (1871) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Charlotte Elliott First Line: My God, my Father, while I stray Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father, while I stray Far from my home in life's rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, "Thy will be done." 2 Though dark my path, and sad my lot, Let me be still and murmur not, Or breathe the prayer Divinely taught, "Thy will be done." 3 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh, Submissive still would I reply, "Thy will be done." 4 If Thou shouldst call me to resign What most I prize -- it ne'er was mine: I only yield Thee what was Thine -- "Thy will be done." 5 Let but my fainting heart be blest With Thy sweet Spirit for its Guest, My God, to Thee I leave the rest; "Thy will be done." 6 Renew my will from day to day, Blend it with Thine, and take away All that now makes it hard to say, "Thy will be done."

Blest be the tie that binds

Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: HPEC1871 #315 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Person Name: John Fawcett Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Jesus' love: The fellowship of Christian minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour united prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear; And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When we at death must part, Not like the world's, our pain; But one in Christ, and one in heart, We part to meet again. 5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin, we shall be free; And perfect love and friendship reign Throughout eternity.

Holy, holy, holy, Lord

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #140 (1871) Person Name: Walter Bond Gilbert Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts, Eternal King, By the heavens and earth adored! Angels and archangels sing, Chanting everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 3 Thousands, tens of thousands stand, Spirits blest before Thy throne, Speeding thence at Thy command; And, when Thy command is done, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 4 Cherubim and seraphim Veil their faces with their wings; Eyes of angels are too dim To behold the King of kings, While they sing eternally To the blessed Trinity. 5 Thee, apostles, prophets, Thee, Thee, the noble martyr band, Praise with solemn jubilee; Thee the Church in every land; Singing everlastingly, To the blessed Trinity. 6 Alleluia! Lord, to Thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Three in One, and One in Three, Join we with the heavenly host, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. Languages: English

Fierce was the wild billow

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #265 (1871) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Walter Bond Gilbert Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the wild billow, Dark was the night, Oars laboured heavily, Foam glimmered white; Mariners trembled, Peril was nigh! Then said the God of God, "Peace! It is I!" 2 Ridge of the mountain-wave, Lower thy crest! Wail of tempest-wind, Be thou at rest: Peril can never be— Sorrow must fly— Where saith the Light of Light, "Peace! It is I!" 3 Jesu, Deliverer, Come Thou to me: Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life’s sea: Thou, when the storm of death Roars, sweeping by, Whisper—O Truth of Truth— "Peace! It is I!"

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #193 (1871) Person Name: Franz Joseph Haydn Lyrics: 1 God's temple crowns the holy mount, The Lord there condescends to dwell: His Sion's gates, in His account, Our Israel's fairest tents excel: Yea, glorious things of thee we sing, O city of th' Almighty King! 2 O honour'd Sion we aver, Illustrious throngs from her proceed; The Almighty shall establish her, And shall enroll her holy seed; Yea, for His people He shall count The children of His favour'd mount. 3 He'll Sion find with numbers fill'd Who celebrate his matchless praise; Who, here in hallelujahs skill'd, In heaven their harps ahd hymns shall raise: O Sion, seat of Israel's King, Be mine to drink thy living spring!

Forth from the dark and stormy sky

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: HPEC1871 #201 (1871) Person Name: Reginald Heber Lyrics: 1 Forth from the dark and stormy sky, Lord, to Thine altar's shade we fly; Forth from the world, its hope and fear, Saviour, we seek Thy shelter here: Weary and weak, Thy grace we pray: Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away. 2 Long have we roamed in want and pain, Long have we sought Thy rest in vain; Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost, Long have our souls been tempest-tost; Low at Thy feet our sins we lay:; Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away. Languages: English

Lord, lead the way the Saviour went

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #300 (1871) Person Name: Henry Hiles Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went, By lane and cell obscure, And let love's treasures still be spent, Like His, upon the poor: Like Him, through scenes of deep distress, Who bore the world's sad weight, We, in their crowded loneliness, Would seek the desolate. 2 For Thou hast placed us side by side, In this wide world of ill, And, that Thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still. Mean are all offerings we can make. But Thou hast taught us, Lord, If given for the Saviour's sake, They lose not their reward. Topics: Missions and Charities Languages: English
