A charge to keep I have

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,359 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky; 2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil; Oh, may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in Thy sight to live; And oh! Thy servant, Lord, prepare, A strict account to give. 4 Help me to watch and pray, And on Thyself rely, Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die.

Raise your triumphant songs

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 262 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Raise your triumphant songs To an immortal tune; Let the wide earth resound the deeds Celestial grace has done. 2 Sing how eternal love Its chief Beloved chose, And bade him raise our wretched race From their abyss of woes. 3 His hand no thunder bears, Nor terror clothes His brow; No bolts to drive our guilty souls To fiercer flames below. 4 'Twas mercy fill'd the throne, No wrath stood frowning by, When Christ was sent with pardon down To rebels doom'd to die. 5 Now, sinners, dry your tears; Let hopeless sorrow cease; Bow to the sceptre of His love, And take the offer'd peace.

When, marshall'd on the nightly plain

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 483 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, marshall'd on the nightly plain, The glitt'ring hosts bestud the sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner’s wand'ring eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks, From ev'ry host, from ev'ry gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks, It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud--the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd--and rudely blow'd The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark. 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose-- It was the Star of Bethlehem. 5 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger’s thrall, It led me to the port of peace. 6 Now safely moor'd--my perils o’er, I’ll sing, first in night’s diadem, Forever, and forevermore, The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!

Eternal Spirit, source of light

Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit, source of light, Enliv'ning, consecrating fire, Descend, and, with celestial heat, Our dull, our frozen hearts inspire; Our souls refine, our dross consume; Come, condescending Spirit, come! 2 In our cold breasts, oh, strike a spark Of that pure flame which seraphs feel; Nor let us wander in the dark, Nor lie benumb'd and stupid still. Come, vivifying Spirit, come! And make our hearts Thy constant home. 3 Let pure devotion's fervors rise! Let ev'ry pious passion glow! Oh, let the raptures of the skies Kindle in our cold hearts below. Come, purifying Spirit, come, And make our souls Thy constant home!

Though earthquake shocks are threat’ning her, And tempests are abroad. 4 Unshaken as eternal hills, Immovable she stands, A mountain that shall fill the earth, A house not made by hands.
