I thank Thee, Savior for the grief

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I thank Thee, Savior for the grief, Thy goodness bids me bear, And for each word of sweet relief, That saves me from despair. 2 I see but dimly all Thy ways, Nor may each purpose tell, But this I know to wake my praise: Thou doest all things well. 3 The way of life is by the cross, The glowing fires along, Which serve to purge away the dross And make the spirit strong. 4 To me, O Lord! Thy grace impart Each trial to abide, And ever let my bleeding heart Cling to Thy bleeding side.

Upon Judea's Midnight Plains

Author: Thomas L. Harris Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Upon Judea’s midnight plains Lyrics: 1 Upon Judea’s midnight plains The shepherds watched of old; When lo! from Heaven, seraphic strains Of joy and triumph rolled. 2 Now dawns the blissful advent morn, With loving voice they sing. Today, to all mankind, is born A Savior and a King. 3 Still, still, ’tis ours the hymn to hear That swept o’er Israel’s plain. Loud swells the anthem—sphere to sphere In joy repeats the strain. 4 Where’er Thy Spirit, Lord, is shrined, The inward Christ is born; The angel strains in heart and mind Proclaim the advent morn.

The Spirit Breathes Upon the Word

Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Appears in 263 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Spirit breathes upon the Word, And brings the truth to sight; Precepts and promises afford A sanctifying light. 2 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic, like the sun: It gives a light to every age; It gives, but borrows none. 3 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat; His truths upon the nations rise: They rise, but never set. 4 Let everlasting thanks be Thine For such a bright display As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 5 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of Him I love, Till glory break upon my view In brighter worlds above. Amen. Topics: Comforter; God's Word; Scriptures; Whitsunday Used With Tune: MANOAH

Come, thou Desire of all thy saints!

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 195 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Desire of all thy saints! Our humble strains attend, While with our praises and complaints, Low at thy feet we bend. 2 Dear Saviour, let thy glory shine, And fill thy dwellings here, Till life, and love, and joy divine, A heaven on earth appear. 3 Show us some token of thy love, Our fainting hopes to raise; And pour thy blessing from above, To aid our feeble praise. 4 Then shall our hearts enraptured say, "Come, great Redeemer! come, And bring the bright, the glorious day, That calls thy children home."
