Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray

Author: Henry Eyster Jacobs Hymnal: LHTC1918 #190b (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray That we may feast on Thee to-day; Beneath these forms of Bread and Wine Enrich us with Thy grace divine. 2 The chastened peace of sin forgiven, The filial joy of heirs of Heaven, Grant, as we share this wondrous food, Thy Body broken and Thy Blood. ; 3 Our trembling hearts cleave to Thy Word All Thou hast said Thou dost afford, All that Thou art we here receive, And all we are to Thee we give. 4 One Bread, one Cup, one Body, we, United by our life in Thee, Thy love proclaim till Thou shalt come, To bring Thy scattered loved ones home. 5 Lord Jesus Christ, we humbly pray To keep us steadfast to that day, That each may be Thy welcomed guest, When Thou shalt spread Thy heavenly feast. Amen. Topics: The Holy Communion Languages: English Tune Title: GRACE CHURCH

Lord of our life, and God of our salvation

Author: Philip Pusey Hymnal: LHTC1918 #208 (1917) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Lyrics: 1 Lord of our life, and God of our salvation, Star of our night, and Hope of every nation, Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication, Lord God Almighty. 2 See round Thine ark the hungry billows curling, See how Thy foes their banners are unfurling; Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling, Thou canst preserve us. 3 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth, Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth, Lord, o'er Thy Rock nor death nor hell prevaileth; Grant us Thy peace, Lord. 4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging, Peace in Thy Church, where brothers are engaging, Peace when the world its busy war is waging; Calm Thy foes' raging. 5 Grant us Thy help till backward they are driven; Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven; Grant peace on earth, and, after we have striven, Peace in Thy heaven. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: CLOISTERS

Lord of the Church, we humbly pray

Author: Edward Osler Hymnal: LHTC1918 #210 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Church, we humbly pray For those who guide us in Thy way, And speak Thy holy Word; With love divine their hearts inspire, And touch their lips with hallowed fire, And needful strength afford. 2 Help them to preach the truth of God, Redemption through the Saviour's Blood; Nor let the Spirit cease On all the Church His gifts to shower; To them, a messenger of power, To us, of life and peace. 3 So may they live to Thee alone, Then hear the welcome word, "Well done!" And take their crown above; Enter into their Master's joy, And all eternity employ In praise, and bliss, and love. Amen. Topics: The Church The Ministry Languages: English Tune Title: PURLEIGH

Lord of the living harvest

Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Hymnal: LHTC1918 #211 (1917) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest That whitens o'er the plain, Where angels soon shall gather Their sheaves of golden grain, Accept these hands to labor, These hearts to trust and love, And deign with them to hasten Thy kingdom from above. 2 As laborers in Thy vineyard, Lord, send them out to be, Content to bear the burden Of weary days for Thee; To ask no other wages, When Thou shalt call them home, But to have shared the travail Which makes Thy kingdom come. 3 Be with them, God the Father! Be with them, God the Son! And God the Holy Spirit! Most blessèd Three in One! Make them a holy priesthood, Thee humbly to adore, And fill them with Thy fulness, Both now and evermore. Amen.

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Hymnal: LHTC1918 #212 (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Lord, speak to me, that I may speak In living echoes of Thy tone; As Thou has sought, so let me seek Thine erring children lost and lone. 2 O lead me, Lord, that I may lead The wandering and the wavering feet; O feed me, Lord, that I may feed Thy hungering ones with manna sweet. 3 O strengthen me, that, while I stand Firm on the Rock, and strong in Thee, I may stretch out a loving hand To wrestlers with the troubled sea. 4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach The precious things Thou dost impart; And wing my words, that they may reach The hidden depths of many a heart. 5 O give Thine own sweet rest to me, That I may speak with soothing power A word in season, as from Thee, To weary ones in needful hour. 6 O fill me with Thy fullness, Lord, Until my very heart o'erflow In kindling thought and glowing word, Thy love to tell, Thy praise to show. 7 O use me, Lord, use even me, Just as Thou wilt, and when, and where; Until Thy blessèd face I see, Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.

Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: LHTC1918 #216 (1917) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass, Ye bars of iron, yield, And let the King of Glory pass; The Cross is in the field; That banner, brighter than the star That leads the train of night, Shines on their march, and guides from far His servants to the fight. 2 A holy war those servants wage; In that mysterious strife, The powers of heaven and hell engage For more than death or life. Ye armies of the living God, Ye warrior of Christ's host, Where hallowed footsteps never trod Take your appointed post. 3 Though few and small and weak your bands, Strong in your Captain’s strength Go to the conquest of all lands; All must be His at length. Uplifted are the gates of brass, Behold the King of Glory pass; The Cross hath won the field. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

O let the gospel sound All the wide world around, Wherever man is found; God speed Thy Word! 2 Lo, what embattled foes, Stern in their hate, oppose God's holy Word! One for His truth we stand, Strong in His own right hand, Firm as a martyr-band:-- God shield His Word! 3 Onward shall be our course Despite of fraud or force; God is before; His Word ere long shall run Free as the noonday sun; His purpose must be done;-- God bless His Word!

Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping

Author: Henry Downton Hymnal: LHTC1918 #226 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping: When shall earth Thy rule obey? When shall end the night of weeping? When shall break the promised day? See the whitening harvest languish, Waiting still the laborers' toil; Was it vain, Thy Son's deep anguish? Shall the strong retain the spoil? 2 Tidings sent to every creature Millions yet have never heard: Can they hear without a preacher? Lord, Almighty, give the word; Give the word! in every nation Let the gospel-trumpet sound, Witnessing a world's salvation To the earth's remotest bound. 3 Then the end: Thy Church completed, All Thy chosen gathered in, With their King in glory seated, Satan bound, and banished sin; Gone for ever parting, weeping, Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain. Lo! her watch Thy Church is keeping; Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign. Amen. Topics: The Church Foreign Missions Languages: English Tune Title: EVERTON

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Author: William Cullen Bryant Hymnal: LHTC1918 #232 (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty Word to speak Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes,--a dreary scene, That fills with sadness as we gaze,-- Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Amen. Topics: The Church Home and Inner Missions Languages: English Tune Title: MELCOMBE
