Thy presence, gracious God, afford

Author: John Fawcett Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy presence, gracious God, afford; Prepare us to receive thy word; Now let thy voice engage our ear, And faith be mixed with what we hear. 2 Distracting thoughts and cares remove, And fix our hearts on things above; With food divine may we be fed, And satisfied with living bread. 3 To each thy sacred word apply With sovereign power and energy, And may we in thy faith and fear Reduce to practice what we hear. 4 Father, in us thy Son reveal; Teach us to know and do thy will: Thy saving power and love display, And guide us to the realms of day.

Jesus made known the path of light

Author: Anon. Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus made known the path of light, Which righteous men shall tread; He showed the way, the truth, the life, In rising from the dead. 2 Then let these fleshly yearnings cease, Let joy our hearts expand; Death is to them a peaceful sleep Who keep their Lord's command. 3 This sleeping dust ere long shall rise, And these dead bones awake, When Christ in glory rends the skies, And all the kingdoms shake.

On time's tempestuous ocean wide

Author: I. I. Leslie Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On time's tempestuous ocean wide, A gallant ship set sail, And out into the raging deep She stood before the gale, Well fitted to abide the storm, And angry water's foam, And bring the captives that she bore Unto her haven home. 2 Long was to be her voyage the time, Six thousand years almost, Ere she would make the highland hights, Along the heavenly coast; Yet with her sails expanded wide, On, on, she swiftly flew, Bearing with ardent hope and love Her passengers and crew. 3 Oft tempests have assailed her round, And stormy winds rose high; And dark have been the mountain waves That bore her to the sky; But o'er them all, with steady helm, She onward pressed her way; Her compass, true unto the pole, Guides her to endless day. 4 Long, long, she has been out, and now She nears her haven home; A beacon light hangs o'er her bow, And bids her thither come; And voices joyful oft are heard, And music swelling high: "The land! the land! the land ahead!" With rapture now they cry. 5 Now soon will she be safely moored And anchored in the bay; And all her passengers on shore Will keep a festal day; And long their songs of joy will rise Beneath high heaven's dome; They've passed the stormy sea of time, They've reached their haven home.

Then let the hurricane roar

Appears in 43 hymnals First Line: We are joyously voyaging over the main Lyrics: 1 We are joyously voyaging over the main, Bound for the evergreen shore, Whose inhabitants never of sickness complain, And never see death any more. Chorus: Then let the hurricane roar, It will the sooner be o'er, We will weather the blast, and we'll land at last, Safe on the evergreen shore. 2 We have nothing to fear grom the wind and the wave, Under our Saviour's command; And our hearts in the midst of the dangers are brave; For Jesus will bring us to land. [Chorus] 3 Both the winds and the waves our Commander controls; Nothing can baffle his skill; And his voice when the thundering hurricane rolls, Can make the loud tempest be still. [Chorus] 4 In the thick, murky night, when the stars and the moon Send not a glimmering ray, Then the light of His countenance, brighter than noon, Will drive all our terror away. [Chorus] 5 Let the high-heaving billows and mountainous wave, Fearfully overhead break, There is One by our side that can comfort and save, There is One who will never forsake. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Scripture: Philippians 3:13 Used With Tune: THE EVERGREEN SHORE
