If in the cause of right I must

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #70 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Aspirations Lyrics: I If in the cause of right I must, Do battle with the sword, Then, let me follow Him I trust, My chosen King and Lord. II As Captain in the mortal fight, He knows the foe I fear; His presence fires my soul with might, And fills my heart with cheer. III If I should see Him ever near, When blows unceasing fall, I shall no flaunting banner fear, Nor loudest battle call. IV And in the thickest of the strife, No polished shaft I’ll dread, For He preserves my soul in life, In battle shields my head. V No power shall in the fight prevail, No subtle gin ensnare, Though all the hosts of hell assail, And guile the fraud prepare. VI Lord, gird me with Thy armour bright, And lead me forth to win, For I would battle for the right Against the might of sin. Languages: English

The Christ on Olive’s mount in prayer

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #71 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Aspirations First Line: The Christ on Olive's mount in prayer Lyrics: I The Christ on Olive’s mount in prayer His heart to God exprest; And as they held sweet converse there, His soul with peace was blest. II Far from the din of troubled life, The tumult, and the swell, A silence, stilling earthly strife, Upon His spirit fell. III And there a voice whose soothing tone The trusting spirit filled, Came with that grace by which alone Our great unrest is stilled. IV O may the blessed thought, divine, That moved the Christ to prayer, Our weary, anxious souls incline Like peace and joy to share; V And on the mount where God is met, May we the solace know, That found His soul on Olivet, Who shared our life below.

Like music at the stilly hour

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #72 (1911) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Aspirations Lyrics: I Like music at the stilly hour, When twilight veils the light of day, A gentle voice, with winning power, Allured me from the world away. II It made me sad, because I thought That love undying I could spurn; It made me glad, because it brought A loving message in return. III Ah, then the Christ my sin revealed, And bade me cast the barrier down, And rise to things from eyes concealed, More lasting than the world’s renown. IV I found the pathway to the cross, And lo, my blindness passed away, For radiant sunlight swept across The darkness that had led astray. V ’Twas then that Christ, in all His love, In all His beauty won my soul;— Now, for the treasures stored above, I thrust aside the world’s control. Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalter #72 (1912) Topics: Aspirations For Christ First Line: Lord, hear me when I pray Lyrics: 1 Lord, hear me when I pray, And answer me in grace; Oft as I hear Thee say, Come ye and seek My face, My heart and lips their answer speak, Thy face, Jehovah, will I seek. 2 Hide no thy face from me, In wrath turn not away, My help and Saviour be, Forsake me not, I pray; Should father, mother, both forsake, The Lord on me will pity take. 3 Teach me, O Lord, Thy way, Make plain tome my path; Because my foes, I pray, Protect me from their wrath; To false accusers, cruel foes, O Lord, do not my soul expose. 4 Faint-hearted would I be, Didst Thou not promise, Lord, I shall Thy goodness see While Thou dost life accord. Wait on the Lord, nor faint, nor fear, Yea, trust and wait, the Lord is near. Scripture: Psalm 27 Languages: English Tune Title: SAMUEL

O Lord, Thou in the hour of need

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #73 (1911) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Aspirations Lyrics: I O Lord, Thou in the hour of need, Didst succour those who sought Thine aid,— The faint revive, the hungry feed,— And on the sick thine hand was laid. II Our needy souls Thy help would crave, For faint they droop, and hungry pine,— Lord, from their mortal sickness save, And heal them by Thy power divine. III Where memories weave a sombre web, And sighs reveal the heart distressed, Where joys that flowed, in murmurs ebb, And buoyant souls are sore oppressed; IV Come as of yore, all helpful, come, And let Thy loving kindness bless, That, where the voice of praise is dumb, Songs may arise of thankfulness.

My harp upon the willows, grave

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #74 (1911) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Aspirations Lyrics: I My harp upon the willows, grave, In weeping days is sadly hung, For, Lord, the joy Thy presence gave, Is from my soul in anguish wrung. II I think upon the peaceful hours, With Thy companionship to please; But now the world is shorn of flowers, And birds are mute among the trees. III Wilt Thou not come as morning light? As spring that wakes the sleeping earth? As zephyrs on the tuneless night, To stir my soul to holy mirth? IV O matchless Love! for me expressed, O gift of Love surpassing great! Wake love responsive in my breast, And make my drooping soul elate. V My heart is strung; up heart, proclaim In joyful strains the Love divine, That stooped from highest heaven, and came To earth to save this soul of mine; VI To free my heart from carking cares, From trusting aught to fleshly aid; To shew me sin’s seductive snares, That for unwary feet are laid. VII Blest Spirit of my God, return, And o’er my life resume Thy sway, That love within my soul may burn, And quicken joy from day to day. Languages: English

To Thee my soul enraptured sings

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #75 (1911) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Aspirations Lyrics: I To Thee my soul enraptured sings, O Thou, Immortal King of kings Enthroned where glory shines; The garland of the praises sweet, That I would offer at Thy feet, My grateful heart entwines. II More rare Thy beauty than the best By highest heaven or earth possessed; More radiant than the sun, The glory shining from Thy face That fills with light the holy place, O Thou Immortal One! III Greater Thy might than lord of war,— Thy vast dominions stretch afar Beyond a kingly sway; Thy hand upholds the earth and sea, And heaven, and all that therein be, Thy wise decrees obey. IV But not by rule of power alone Are subjects loyal to Thy throne, Thy love their fealty wins,— A love that, by its winning grace Allured our fallen, guilty race From their rebellious sins. V Lord, by Thy cross that won my soul, From bondage to benign control, My every power possess; That, daily, I my cross may bear, And find, to serve Thee everywhere, Is praising Thee the best. VI To Thee my soul enraptured sings, O Thou Immortal King of kings, But I would join the song, Of myriad souls in realms of light, Who praise their King by day and night, Through all the ages long.
