Thou, Who Didst Call Thy Saints of Old

Author: Edward A. Welch Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6994 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Thou, who didst call Thy saints of old Thy chosen flock to teach, Who mad’st the fearful hearted bold, And quick the slow of speech; Still Thou dost ask whom Thou shalt send And who will go for Thee, To feed Thy lambs, Thy sheep to tend; Lord, here am I; send me. 2. O send us—e’en as Thou, O Lord, Wast by the Father sent— To speak Thine own absolving word To sinners penitent; To wash Thy chosen in the flood Whereby new birth is given; To minister the sacred Food, The Bread of Life from Heav’n. 3. And Thou, who didst by prophets deign To speak the will divine, That we may never speak in vain, May all our words be Thine; Oh, teach us, Holy Ghost, that we Thine heritage may teach; Bid us to prophesy for Thee, And in Thy power to preach. 4. So may we, though unworthy still, Most Holy Trinity, Thy prophets, pastors, priests, fulfill Our sacred ministry; That, when beside the crystal sea We lay our office down, The souls that we have trained for Thee May be our joy and crown.

'Twixt Gleams of Joy and Clouds of Doubt

Author: John C. Shairp Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7000 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. ’Twixt gleams of joy and clouds of doubt our feelings come and go; Our daily state is tossed about in ceaseless ebb and flow. No mood of feeling, form of thought, is constant for a day; But Thou, O Lord, Thou changest not, the same Thou art alway. 2. Out of the weak, unquiet drift that comes but to depart, To that pure heaven my spirit lift where Thou unchanging art. Lay hold of me with Thy strong grasp, let Thine almighty arm In its embrace my weakness clasp, and I shall fear no harm. 3. Thy purpose of eternal good let me but surely know, On this I’ll lean—let changing mood and feeling come or go Glad when Thy sunshine fills my soul, nor sad when clouds overcast, Since Thou within Thy sure control of love dost hold me fast.

Thy Word, O Lord, Like Gentle Dews

Author: Carl B. Garve; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7001 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews, Falls soft on hearts that pine; Lord, to Thy garden ne’er refuse This heavenly balm of Thine. Watered by Thee, let every tree Then blossom to Thy praise, By grace of Thine bear fruit divine Through all the coming days. 2. Thy Word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns Thy Word, And pierceth flesh and bone; Let it go forth o’er all the earth To cleanse our hearts within, To show Thy power in Satan’s hour, And break the night of sin. 3. Thy Word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e’er sink in night, But in each spirit shine, That none may miss Heaven’s final bliss, Led by Thy light divine. Languages: English Tune Title: RELEASE

Behold, The King Of Zion Rides

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7050 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Behold, the King of Zion rides, But not in vain array; The people wave their goodly palms, With garments strew the way; And loud hosannas fill the air From crowds that, surging, throng; ’Tis meet to honor Him who rides With cheer, and shout, and song. 2 O Zion, of your God beloved, The day of strife is nigh, Yet comes He not with armor clad, And sword upon His thigh; The weapons of your mighty king No other hand could wield; The might of God is in His arm, The will of God His shield. 3 See, on the cross, without the wall, The King immortal dies; Not now hosannas fill the air— The shouts of hell arise; But in that hour of triumph, deemed, Satanic might is slain, For He who bows the head in death, Shall rise to life again. 4 O Zion, hail your mighty king, Your palms around Him wave, And strew your garments in the way Of Him who rides to save; And when He mounts His regal throne, By bloody conflict won, Give homage to the King of Heaven, God’s one eternal Son.

Veil, Lord, Mine Eyes till She Be Past

Author: George Wither, 1588-1667 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7080 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Veil, Lord, mine eyes till she be past, When folly tempts my sight; Keep Thou my palate and my taste From gluttonous delight. Stop Thou mine ear from sirens’ songs, My tongue from lies restrain; Withhold my hands from doing wrongs, My feet from courses vain. 2. Teach, likewise, every other sense To act an honest part, But chiefly settle innocence And pureness in my heart; So naught without me or within, Shall work an ill effect, By tempting me to act a sin, Or virtues to neglect.

We Limit Not the Truth of God

Author: George Rawson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7211 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Refrain First Line: The Lord hath yet more light and truth Lyrics: 1. We limit not the truth of God To our poor reach of mind, By notions of our day and sect, Crude, partial, and confined.

Darkling our great forefathers went The first steps of the way; ’Twas but the dawning yet to grow Into the perfect day. And grow it shall, our glorious sun More fervid rays afford: [Refrain] 3. The valleys passed, ascending still, Our souls would higher climb, And look down from supernal heights On all the bygone time. Upward we press, the air is clear, And the sphere-music heard: [Refrain] 4. O Father, Son, and Spirit, send Us increase from above; Enlarge, expand all Christian souls To comprehend Thy love, And make us to go on, to know With nobler powers conferred: [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 22ND

What Time the Evening Shadows Fall

Author: John W. Hewett Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7297 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. What time the evening shadows fall Around the Church on earth, When darker forms of doubt appall, And new false lights have birth; Then closer should her faithful band For truth together hold, Hell’s last devices to withstand, And safely guard her fold. 2. O Father, in that hour of fear, Thy Church on earth do keep, Thine altar to the last to rear, And feed Thy fainting sheep; May she the holy truths attest Apostles taught of yore, Nor quit the faith by saints confessed, Though tempted ne’er so sore. 3. O Christ, who for Thy flock didst pray That all might be as one, Unite us all ere fades the day, Thou sole begotten Son; The East, the West, together bind In love’s unbroken chain; Give each one hope, one heart, one mind, One glory, and one gain. 4. O Spirit, Lord of light and life, The Church with strength renew, Compose the angry voice of strife, All jealousies subdue; Do Thou in ever quickening streams Upon Thy saints descend, And warm them with reviving beams, And guide them to the end. 5. Great Three in One, great One in Three, Our hymns of prayer receive, And teach us all from sin to flee, And live as we believe; So, pure in faith, our thoughts and speech, And acts that faith shall own; So shall we to Thy presence reach, And know as we are known.

When Rising from the Bed of Death

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7335 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. When rising from the bed of death, O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I see my maker face to face, O how shall I appear? 2. If yet, while pardon may be found, And mercy may be sought, My heart with inward horror shrinks, And trembles at the thought; 3. When Thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed In majesty severe, And sit in judgment on my soul, O how shall I appear? 4. But Thou hast told the troubled mind Who does her sins lament, The timely tribute of her tears Shall endless woe prevent. 5. Then see the sorrow of my heart, Ere yet it be too late; And hear my Savior’s dying groans, To give those sorrows weight. 6. For never shall my soul despair Her pardon to procure, Who knows Thine only Son has died To make her pardon sure. Languages: English Tune Title: THIRD MODE MELODY
