Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #157 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather, When the sad heart is weary and distressed, Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father, Come unto me, and I will give you rest. 2 Ye who have mourned when tender flowers were taken, When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground, When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken, Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned. 3 Large are the mansions in thy Father’s dwelling, Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling, Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn. 4 There like an Eden blossoming in gladness, Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed: Come unto me, all ye who droop in sadness, Come unto me, and I will give you rest.

O perfect Love, all human thought transcending

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #158 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending, Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne, That theirs may be the love that knows no ending, Whom Thou forevermore doth join in one. 2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance Of tender charity and steadfast faith, Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance, With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death. 3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow; Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife, And to life’s day the glorious unknown morrow That dawns upon eternal love and life.

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #160 (1898) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near, The waters of life are now flowing for thee; No price is demanded, the Saviour is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 5 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night.

I would not live alway; I ask not to stay

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #161 (1898) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin, Temptation without, and corruption within; E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears. And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears. 3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb; Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom; There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God; Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? 5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet; While the songs of salvation unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul! And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul! Topics: Cross and Comfort; Heaven; Heavenly-Mindedness Languages: English Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES

Now God be with us, for the night is closing

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #164 (1898) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Now God be with us, for the night is closing; The light and darkness are of His disposing; And 'neath His shadow here to rest we yield us, For He will shield us. 2 Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us; Till morning cometh, watch, O Father, o'er us; In soul and body Thou from harm defend us, Thine angels send us. 3 Let pious thoughts be ours when sleep overtakes us; Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us; All day serve Thee, in all that we are doing Thy praise pursuing. 4 Through Thy Beloved soothe the sick and weeping, And bid the captive lose his griefs in sleeping; Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them, Do thou befriend them. 5 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us, Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us; But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely Who seek Thee only. 6 Father, Thy name be praised, Thy kingdom given; Thy will be done on earth, as 'tis in heaven; Give daily bread; forgive our sins; deliver Us now and ever.
