Courage, brother! do not stumble
Author: Dr. Norman Macleod, 1812-1872 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: Social Righteousness; Righteousness Social Lyrics: 1 Courage, brother! do not stumble,
Though thy path be dark as night;
There's a star to guide the humble
"Trust in God, and do the right."
Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely! strong or weary,
Trust in God, and do the right.
2 Perish policy and cunning!
Perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God, and do the right.
Trust no party, sect, or faction;
Trust no leaders in the fight;
But in every word and action
Trust in God, and do the right.
3 Trust no lovely forms of passion
Fiends may look like angels bright;
Trust no custom, school or fashion;
Trust in God, and do the right.
Some will hate thee, some will love thee,
Some will flatter, some will slight:
Cease from man, and look above thee
Trust in God, and do the right.
4 Simple rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace, and inward might,
Star upon our path abiding
"Trust in God, and do the right."
Courage, brother! do not stumble,
Though my path be dark as night;
There's a star to guide the humble
"Trust in God, and do the right." Used With Tune: COURAGE, BROTHER

O Lamb of God! still keep me
Author: J. G. Deck, 1802-1884 Appears in 161 hymnals Topics: Sun Of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 O Lamb of God! still keep me
Near to Thy wounded side;
'Tis only there in safety
And peace I can abide.
What foes and snares surround me!
What lusts and fears within!
The grace that sought and found me
Alone can keep me clean.
2 'Tis only in Thee hiding,
I know my life secure;
Only in Thee abiding,
The conflict can endure;
Thine arm the victory gaineth
O'er every hurtful foe;
Thy love my heart sustaineth
In all its cares and woe.
3 Soon shall my eyes behold Thee,
With rapture, face to face;
One half hath not been told me
Of all Thy power and grace;
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
The wonders of Thy love,
Shall be the endless story
Of all Thy saints above.

Thy words into our minds instil;
And make our lukewarm hearts to glow
With lowly love and fervent will.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our light!
2 The day is gone, its hours have run,
And Thou hast taken count of all
The scanty triumphs grace hath won,
The broken vow, the frequent fall.
3 Grant us, O Lord, from evil ways
True absolution and release;
And bless us, more than in past days,
With purity and inward peace.
4 Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toiled;
And care is light, for Thou hast cared;
Let not our works with self be soiled,
Nor in unsimple ways ensnared.
5 Do more than pardon; give us joy,
Sweet fear, and sober liberty.
And loving hearts without alloy,
That only long to be like Thee.
6 For all we love, the poor, the sad,
The sinful, unto Thee we call;
O let Thy mercy make us glad!
Thou art our Jesus and our all. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHIAS

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day
Author: Henry W. Longfellowm 1807-1882 Appears in 118 hymnals Topics: National Righteousness; Righteousness Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of peace of earth, goodwill to men.
2 I thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along th'unbroken song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men.
3 And in despair I bowed my head:
"There is no peace on earth," I said,
"For hate is strong, and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men."
4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
With peace on earth, goodwill to men."
5 Till, ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime,
Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!
Amen. Used With Tune: WALTHAM (Doane)

I Want a Principle Within
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 228 hymnals Topics: Righteousness Lyrics: 1 I want a principle within
Of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin,
A pain to feel it near.
Help me the first approach to feel
Of pride or wrong desire;
To catch the wandering of my will,
And quench the kindling fire.
2 From Thee that I no more may stray,
No more Thy goodness grieve,
Grant me the filial awe, I pray,
The tender conscience give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscience make!
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.
3 Almighty God of truth and love,
To me Thy power impart;
The burden from my soul remove,
The hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain
My reawakened soul,
And drive me to that blood again,
Which makes the wounded whole.
Amen. Used With Tune: GERALD

Enter every trembling heart.

Into every troubled breast!

Let us find that second rest.

Set our hearts at liberty.

Let us all Thy life receive;
Suddenly return, and never,
Nevermore Thy temples leave:
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
4 Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee:
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
