Father, Most High, Be with Us
Author: Aurelius C. Prudentius, 348-413 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. 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. Used With Tune: MINSTER Text Sources: Translated from Latin to English by the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern, 1889

God Eternal, Mighty King
Author: Anonymous; James E. Millard Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God eternal, mighty King,
Unto Thee our praise we bring;
All the earth doth worship Thee;
We amid the throng would be.
Holy, holy, holy! cry
Angels, round Thy throne on high
Lord of all the heav’nly pow’rs,
Be the same loud anthem ours.
2. 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.
God eternal, mighty King,
Unto Thee our praise we bring;
To the Father, and the Son,
And the Spirit, Three in One. Used With Tune: MALLARY Text Sources: Devout Chorister by T. F. Smith, 1848

Author: William Bennett Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Higher, higher would I soar Refrain First Line: Oh, my Savior, brother, friend Lyrics: 1 Higher, higher would I soar,
Rise where sin disturbs no more;

Cleansed from all impurity.

Oh, my Savior, brother, friend,
Let the cleansing showers descend,
Let me all Thy fullness know,
Let the healing waters flow.

Till the world is lost to sight;
Heav’nward all my thoughts ascend,
Till my pilgrimage shall end. [Refrain]
3 Onward, onward, be my cry,
From earth’s cares I fain would fly;
Pressing t’ward the heav’nly goal,
To the haven of my soul. [Refrain]
4 Forward, forward, I will go,
Gladly leaving all below,
In the narrow, trustful way,
Till I gain the realms of day. [Refrain]

Jacob's Ladder
Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: If the Lord our leader be Lyrics: 1 If the Lord our leader be,
We may follow without fear;
East or west, by land or sea,
Home, with Him, is everywhere:
When from Esau Jacob fled,
Tho’ his pillow was a stone,
And the ground his humble bed,
Yet he was not left alone.
2 Kings are often waking kept,
Racked with cares on beds of state;
Never king like Jacob slept,
For he lay at Heaven’s gate:
Lo! he saw a ladder reared,
Reaching to the heav’nly throne;
At the top the Lord appeared,
Spoke and claimed him for His own.
3 Fear not, Jacob, thou art Mine,
And My presence with thee goes;
On thy heart My love shall shine,
And My arm subdue thy foes:
From My promise comfort take,
For My help in trouble call;
Never will I thee forsake,
’Till I have accomplished all.
4 Well does Jacob’s ladder suit
To the Gospel throne of grace;
We are at the ladder’s foot,
Every hour, in every place:
By assuming flesh and blood,
Jesus Heav’n and earth unites;
We by faith ascend to God,
God to dwell with us delights.
5 They who know the Savior’s name,
Are for all events prepared;
What can changes do to them,
Who have such a guide and guard?
Should they traverse earth around,
To the ladder still they come;
Every spot is holy ground,
God is there—and He’s their home, Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

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. Used With Tune: BEAURAING Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749
