O Blest the House, Whate'er Befall

Author: C. C. L. von Pfeil, 1712-84; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #190 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Oh blest the house, whate'er befall, Where Jesus Christ is all in all! Yea, if He were not dwelling there, How dark and poor and void it were! 2 Oh blest that house where faith ye find And all within have set their mind To trust their God and serve Him still And do in all His holy will. 3 O blest the parents who give heed Unto their children's foremost need And weary not of care or cost. May none to them and heav'n be lost! 4 Blest such a house; it prospers well. In peace and joy the parents dwell, And in their children's lot is shown How richly God can bless His own. 5 Then here will I and mine to-day A solemn cov'nant make and say: Though all the world forsake Thy Word, I and my house will serve the Lord.

Hark! The Voice of Jesus Crying

Author: D. March, 1816-1909; Unknown Hymnal: ELH1996 #191 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Hark! the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are white and harvests waiting; Who will bear the sheaves away?" Loud and long the Master calleth; Rich reward He offers thee. Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus; You can say He died for all. If you cannot rouse the wicked With the Judgement's dread alarms, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. 3 If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall, Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all, With your prayers and with your off'rings You can do what God demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," While the multitudes are dying, And the Master calls for you. Take the task He gives you gladly; Let His work your pleasure be; Answer quickly when He calleth, "Here am I, send me, send me!" Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEAN

How Beauteous Are Their Feet

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: ELH1996 #192 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found. 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Savior and their God.

Jesus Shall Reign Where'er the Sun

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: ELH1996 #193 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run His kingdom stretch from shore to shore Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 For Him shall endless prayer be made, And endless praises crown His head; His name like sweet perfume shall rise With ev'ry morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of ev'ry tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song, And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on His name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The pris'ner leaps, unloosed his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Where He displays His healing pow'r, Death and the curse are known no more; In Him the tribes of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost. 6 Let ev'ry creature rise and bring Peculiar honors to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.

Thy Hand, O God, Has Guided

Author: E. H. Plumptre, 1821-91 Hymnal: ELH1996 #196 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided Thy flock from age to age; The wondrous tale is written, Full clear, on ev'ry page; Our fathers owned Thy goodness, And we their deeds record, And both of this bear witness, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings, To greatest, as to least; They bade men rise, and hasten To share the great King’s feast; And this was all their teaching, In ev'ry deed and word, To all alike proclaiming, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 3 Through many a day of darkness, Through many a scene of strife, The faithful few fought bravely, To guard the nation’s life. Their Gospel of redemption, Sin pardoned, man restored, Was all in this enfolded, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, And cast away our crown? Not so; in God’s deep counsels Some better thing is stored; We will maintain, unflinching, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 Thy mercy will not fail us, Nor leave Thy work undone; With Thy right hand to help us, The vict'ry shall be won; And then by men and angels, Thy name shall be adored, And this shall be their anthem, One Church, one Faith, one Lord.

Mote, 1797-1874 Hymnal: ELH1996 #197 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In ev'ry high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 3 His oath, His covenant, and blood Support me in the whelming flood; When ev'ry earthly prop gives way, He then is all my Hope and Stay. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. 4 When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh may I then in Him be found, Clothed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne. On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand. Languages: English Tune Title: MAGDALEN

Author: J. Heermann, 1585-1647; C. Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: ELH1996 #198 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light, Enlighten those who sit in night; Let those afar now hear Thy voice And in Thy fold with us rejoice. 2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace The souls now lost in error's maze And all whom in their secret minds Some dark delusion haunts and blinds. 3 O gently call those gone astray That they may find the saving way! Let ev'ry conscience sore oppressed In Thee find peace and heav'nly rest. 4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord, Who dare not yet the faith avow, Though secretly they hold it now. 5 Shine on the darkened and the cold; Recall the wand'rers to Thy fold. Unite all those who walk apart; Confirm the weak and doubting heart, 6 So they with us may evermore Such grace with wond'ring thanks adore And endless praise to Thee be giv'n By all Thy Church in earth and heav'n.
