The Clefted Rock

Author: Nancy Byers Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: In the clefted Rock I hide Refrain First Line: Blessed Rock, on Thee I build Lyrics: 1 In the clefted Rock I hide, Savior, let me here abide; Sheltered from each stormy gale, All secure within the vale. Refrain: Blessed Rock, on Thee I build, Ever be my sun and shield; Help me labor, watch, and pray, Ready for the crowning day. 2 Tempest-tossed I came to Thee, Precious shelter made for me; Cleansed and purified from sin, Thou didst freely take me in. [Refrain] 3 When the surging billows roll, There’s a calm within my soul; While my trust in Thee is stayed, I shall never be afraid. [Refrain] 4 Rock of safety—blest abode, Hid away with Christ in God; Nothing can I want beside, For my soul is satisfied. [Refrain] 5 When this earthly house shall fall, And my days are numbered all, Then my house not made with hands, Evermore in glory stands. [Refrain] 6 Then, dear Jesus, keep me hid, That I e’er be found amid Choicest jewels of Thy care, When in glory I appear.

May the lessons we have heard From Thy pure and holy word, Make us what we ought to be, Lead Thy little lambs to Thee. 2 Jesus, Thou wert once a child, Make us humble, meek and mild. Kindly fold us on Thy breast, There Thy little lambs would rest. In that happy world of light Where the day is ever bright. May our angel voices sing, Glory! glory! to our king!

Lord, Beneath Whose Equal Hand

Author: Harriet W. Hall Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, beneath whose equal hand Present, past, and future stand, Hear us offer grateful praise For Thy gifts in bygone days; Gifts of gain and gifts of loss, Boon of crown and boon of cross, Blessings from our angels fled, Living gifts from hands long dead. 2 Children of the present, we Dare not face it without Thee. In this vivid, stern today Nerve our work, and hear us pray. Help us keep no peace with sin, Calm us by Thy peace within; Shield us from the day’s fierce light, Shine throughout the darksome night. 3 For our future, best shall be That which seemeth best to Thee! Take our starting hopes and fears, Giver of our changing years! We would make nor prayer nor moan; Thou art wise, and Thou alone, Father, in whose loving hand Present, past, and future stand.

Light Of Life, Seraphic Fire

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of life, seraphic fire, Love divine, Thyself impart; Every fainting soul inspire, Shine in every drooping heart; Every mournful sinner cheer, Scatter all our guilty gloom, Son of God, appear, appear! To Thy human temples come. 2 Come in this accepted hour, Bring Thy heav’nly kingdom in; Fill us with Thy glorious power, Rooting out the seeds of sin; Nothing more can we require, We will covet nothing less; Be Thou all our hearts’ desire, All our joy and all our peace. 3 Whom but Thee have we in Heav’n? Whom have we on earth but Thee? Only Thou to us be giv’n, All beside is vanity; Grant us love, we ask no more; Every other gift remove; Pleasure, fame, and wealth, and power, Still we all enjoy in love.

Father, Most High, be with us, Unseen, Thy goodness showing, And Christ the Word Incarnate, And Spirit grace bestowing. O Trinity, O Oneness Of light and power exceeding; O God of God Eternal O God, from Both proceeding! 2. While daylight hours are passing, We live and work before Thee; Now, ere we rest in slumber, We gather to adore Thee. Our Christian name and calling Of our new birth remind us; The Spirit’s gifts and sealing To firm obedience bind us. 3. Begone, ye powers of evil With snares and wiles unholy! Disturb not with your temptings The spirits of the lowly. Depart! for Christ is present, Beside us, yea, within us; Away! His sign, ye know it, The victory shall win us. 4. Awhile the body resteth; The spirit, wakeful ever, Abideth in communion With Christ, who sleepeth never, To God, th’Eternal Father, To Christ, our sure salvation, To God, the Holy Spirit, Be endless adoration.

Glorified apostles raise Night and day, continual praise; Hast not Thou a mission, too, For Thy children here to do? With the prophets’ goodly line We in mystic bond combine; For Thou hast to babes revealed Things that to the wise were sealed. 3. Martyrs, in a noble host, Of the cross are heard to boast; Oh, that we our cross may bear, And a crown of glory wear.
