O Where Are Kings and Empires Now

Author: Bishop A. C. Cox Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #430 (1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Choral Section Church of Christ Lyrics: 1. O where are kings and empires now Of old that went and came? But, Lord, Thy Church is praying yet, A thousand years the same. 2. We mark her goodly battlements, And her foundations strong; We hear within the solemn voice Of her unending song. 3. For not like kingdoms of the world Thy holy Church, O God; Tho' 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. Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE

I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3. I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light: Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till trav'ling days are done. Languages: English Tune Title: RESTING-PLACE

Thy cheering words revive us, When pressed with grief we bow; Thou bear'st the trusting spirit Upon Thy loving breast, And givest all The ransomed A sweet, unending rest.

No longer, Lord, despise me, Nor in Thy wrath chastise me, Thy mercy I implore: How long Thine anger cherish! Consumed thereby I perish; My soul is troubled sore. 2.

Thro' weeping unavailing My very eyes are failing; But now, depart from me All ye the evil choosing; The Lord, no more refusing, Hath heard my tearful plea. 4. The Lord will ever hear me, And when I pray be near me, To put my foes to shame; Turned back, no more to grieve me, They suddenly shall leave me. All glory to His Name!

Our Father, Thou in heav'n above, Who biddest us to dwell in love, As brethen of one family, And cry for all we need to Thee; Teach us to mean the words we say, And from the inmost heart to pray. 2. All hallowed by Thy Name, O Lord! O let us firmly keep Thy word, Thy kingdom come! Thine let it be In time and through eternity! O let Thy Holy Spriit dwell With us, to rule and guide us well. 3. Thy will be done on earth, O Lord, As where in heav'n Thou art adored! Patience in time of grief bestow, Obedience true in weal and woe; Our sinful heart and will control That thwart Thy will within the soul. 4. Give us this day our daily bread, Let us be duly clothed and fed; Forgive our sins, that they no more May sore displease Thee as before, As we forgive their trespasses Who unto us, have done amiss. 5. Into temptation lead us not, And when the foe doth war and plot, Deliv'rance from all evil give, For yet in evil days we live; Redeem us from eternal death, E'en when we yield our dying breath. 6. Amen! Amen! So let it be! Strengthen our faith and trust in Thee, That we may doubt not, but believe, That what we ask we shall receive; Thus in Thy Name and at Thy word We say Amen; now hear us, Lord!

If Thou but Suffer God to Guide Thee

Author: Miss C. Winkworth; Georg Neumark Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #439 (1929) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Topics: Choral Section Faith and Trust Lyrics: 1. If thou but suffer God to guide thee, And hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, And bear thee through the evil days: Who trust in God's unchanging love Builds on the rock that naught can move. 2. What can these anxious cares avail thee, These never-ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help, if thou bewail thee O'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press The heavier for our bitterness. 3. Only be still, and wait His leisure In cheerful hope, with heart content To take whate'er thy Father's pleasure And all-deserving love hath sent; Nor doubt our inmost wants are known To Him who chose us for His own. 4. Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving, So do thine own part faithfully, And trust His word,--though undeserving, Thou yet shalt find it true for thee God never yet forsook at need The soul that trusted Him indeed.
