O Worship the King

Author: Robert Grant Appears in 1,171 hymnals First Line: O worship the King, all-glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above; O gratefully sing His pow'r and His love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 The earth with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old, Hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And 'round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end, Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.

Firm our trust shall be; Light shall come from Thee. 2 If with honest-hearted Love for God and man, Day by day Thou find us Doing what we can; Thou who giv'st the seed-time Wilt give large increase, Crown the head with blessings, Fill the heart with peace. 3 On our way rejoicing Gladly let us go; Conquered hath our Leader, Vanquished is our foe! Christ without, our safety; Christ within, our joy; Who, if we be faithful, Can our hope destroy? 4 Unto God the Father Joyful songs we sing; Unto God the Savior Thankful hearts we bring; Unto God the Spirit Bow we and adore; On our way rejoicing Now and evermore.

Chorus: Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, "Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;" And thro' the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the gospel leads us home. [Chorus] 3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o’er land and sea, And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.

Holy Spirit, Faithful Guide

Author: Marcus M. Wells Appears in 689 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, faithful guide, Ever near the Christian’s side, Gently lead us by the hand, Pilgrims in a desert land; Weary souls fore’er rejoice, While they hear that sweetest voice Whisp'ring softly, “Wanderer come! Follow me, I’ll guide thee home." 2 Ever present, truest Friend, Ever near Thine aid to lend, Leave us not to doubt and fear, Groping on in darkness drear; When the storms are raging sore, Hearts grow faint, and hopes give o’er, Whisp'ring softly, “Wanderer come! Follow me, I’ll guide thee home.” 3 When our days of toil shall cease, Waiting still for sweet release, Nothing left but heaven and prayer, Wond'ring if our names were there; Wading deep the dismal flood, Pleading naught but Jesus’ blood; Whisp'ring softly, “Wanderer come! Follow me, I’ll guide thee home.” Topics: Church Festivals Passion and Easter; Youth Used With Tune: GUIDE
