Saviour, sprinkle many nations

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe, 1818 - 96 Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let thy sorrows be; By thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto thee. Of thy Cross the wondrous story Be it to the nations told; Let them see thee in thy glory And thy mercy manifold. A-men. 2 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for thee each mortal breast; Human tears for thee are flowing, Human hearts in thee would rest; Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek, as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. 3 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting, Stretched the hand, and strained the sight, For thy Spirit new-creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light; Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung. Amen. Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Used With Tune: BEECHER

Jesus, Thou Divine Companion

Author: H. van Dyke Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou Divine Companion, By Thy lowly human birth Thou hast come to join the workers, Burden bearers of the earth. Thou the carpenter of Nazareth, Toiling for Thy daily food, By Thy patience and Thy courage Thou hast taught us toil is good. 2 They who tread the path of labour Follow where Thy feet have trod; They who work without complaining Do the holy will of God. Thou, the peace that passeth knowledge, Dwellest in the daily strife; Thou, the Bread of heaven, art broken In the sacrament of life. 3 Every task, however simple, Sets the soul that does it free; Every deed of love and kindness Done to man is done to Thee. Jesus, Thou Divine Companion, Help us all to work our best, Bless us in our daily labour, Lead us to our Sabbath rest.

Light of those whose dreary dwelling

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 356 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death, Come, and by thyself revealing, Dissipate the clouds beneath. Thou, new heaven and earth's Creator, In our deepest darkness rise; Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring day up-on our eyes. 2 Still we wait for thy appearing; Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every poor benighted heart. Come, extend thy wonted favor To our ruined, guilty race; Come, thou blest, exalted Saviour! Come, apply thy saving grace. 3 By thine all-atoning merit Every burdened soul release; By the teachings of thy Spirit Guide us into perfect peace; So shall we, at thine appearing, Wait thy smiling face to see; So, the joyful summons hearing, Enter into rest with thee.
