O Grant Me, Lord, That Sweet Content
Author: Edward Perronet Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12162 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 O grant me, Lord, that sweet content,
That sweetens every state;
Which no internal fears can rent,
Nor outward foes abate.
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace—
Thy word the truth hath said—
Who, clothed with Thy great righteousness,
Thy arm his strength has made.
2 Grant me then, Lord, a contrite heart,
A meek and quiet breast;
Thy own unspotted mind impart,
Thy own unshaken rest.
That rest for humble souls prepared,
The bosom of Thy love;
Where patience finds her full reward,
When perfected above.
3 Give me then grace this rest to seek,
And, as I seek, to find;
My heart all pure, my soul all meek,
The copy of Thy mind.
So shall I know Thy utmost power,
Thy utmost glory prove;
And in eternity adore
The matchless gift of love! Languages: English Tune Title: VOX DILECTI
O Grant Me, Lord, That Sweet Content
Faith Is A Very Simple Thing
Author: John C. Ryle Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12197 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Faith is a very simple thing,
Tho’ little understood;
It frees the soul from death’s dread sting,
By resting in the blood.
It looks not on the things around,
Nor on the things within,
It takes its flight to scenes above,
Beyond the sphere of sin.
2 It sees upon the throne of God
A victim that was slain;
It rests its all on His shed blood,
And says, "I’m born again.
"Faith is not what we feel or see,
It is a simple trust
In what the God of love has said
Of Jesus, as "the Just."
3 The perfect One that died for me,
Upon His Father’s throne,
Presents our names before our God,
And pleads Himself alone.
What Jesus is, and that alone,
Is faith’s delightful plea;
It never deals with sinful self,
Nor righteous self, in me.
4 It tells me I am counted "dead"
By God in His own word;
It tells me I am "born again"
In Christ my risen Lord.
In that He died, He died to sin;
In that He lives—to God:
Then I am dead to nature’s hopes,
And justified thro’ blood.
5 If He is free, then I am free
From all unrighteousness;
If He is just, then I am just,
He is my righteousness.
What want I more to perfect bliss?
A body like His own
Will perfect me for greater joys,
Than angels round the throne. Languages: English Tune Title: FAITH

In every time of need. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: THE GOLDEN RULE

Emmanuel on earth!

And hail the heav’nly birth. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: LESNEVEN

There's Joy In Heaven
Author: Silas W. Leonard Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12327 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: There’s joy in Heaven, thrilling joy Lyrics: 1 There’s joy in Heaven, thrilling joy,
Whene’er a sinner turns;
Then with a holy ecstasy,
The tallest seraph burns:
Through all the shining courts of bliss,
The joyful news is borne,
And thousand angel voices shout,
The wanderer’s return.
2 There’s light, effulgent light in Heav’n
It radiates from the throne,
And bright reflects from golden streets
And walls of precious stone:
Ten thousand times ten thousand stars,
And suns by scores untold,
Could ne’er emit such glorious light,
As there the saints behold.
3 There’s rest in Heaven, calm repose,
From pain and toil and care:
And there the weary shall enjoy
A peace beyond compare.
A tranquil quiet, calm and deep,
A sea without a shore,
An ocean vast, of bliss, that shall
Endure for evermore.
4 There’s music, heav’nly music, there
Ten thousand harps of gold
Are tuned and touched by angel hands,
To measures sweet and bold:
Twelve thousand times twelve thousand souls
Of their redemption sing;
And louder yet, rank after rank,
Redemption’s anthems ring.
5 They sing the wondrous love of God,
That saved a sinful race;
And thousand thousand angel choirs,
Take up the notes of praise:
And ransomed souls, a countless host,
They echo swelling songs,
Of honor, pow’r, and love to Him,
To whom all praise belongs. Languages: English Tune Title: BETHLEHEM

A Light To Lighten The Gentiles
Author: Thomas B. Murray Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12377 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: Augustus ruled imperial Rome Lyrics: 1 Augustus ruled imperial Rome,
When wars began to cease,
And all the nations of the world
Enjoyed the sweets of peace.
The fir and myrtle took the place
Of briar and of thorn,
And swords were turned to pruning hooks,
When Jesus Christ was born.
2 The rust had gathered round the hinge
Of Janus’ open fane;
And fiery war had fouled the walls
With many a purple stain;
But when the light of lovely Peace
Above the storm arose,
The wondering city saw her chief
The massive portal close.
3 To Israel’s sons their God had giv’n
His own revealèd Word;
And some at the appointed time
Were waiting for the Lord.
A faithful few in Salem’s courts
Watched anxiously to hear
The joyful accents that proclaimed
Messiah’s advent near.
4 How favored then were Judah’s sons,
That first of all to them
The Savior came: His word was preached
First at Jerusalem;
But they had ears that would not hear,
And eyes that would not see;
So other branches grafted were
On Judah’s olive tree.
5 Inquiring eyes in heathen lands
Had seen a wondrous sign;
The heav’ns declared God’s glory, and
The sky His work divine;
A new and shining light was shed
O’er Gentile Galilee,
And lighted up with golden rays
The islands of the sea.
6 There was an island of the sea,
An island far away,
Upon whose shores there had not beamed
The dawn of perfect day:
Dark altars reared to gloomy gods
With human blood were dyed;
And there they stand, those giant blocks,
To humble Britain’s pride.
7 Within thy circles rude, Stonehenge,
The white robed Druids stood;
Their eyes were raised to heaven, and
Their hands were bathed in blood:
They knew not of the Son of God,
Who bought us with a price;
And gave Himself upon the cross,
A perfect sacrifice.
8 But now the Lord of light and truth
Hath blessed our plains, for there
The taper spires that point to Heav’n
The Savior’s name declare.
May He vouchsafe increasing light
To this our English home,
And pour His grace upon our church,
Till all its fulness come! Languages: English Tune Title: VOX DILECTI
A Light To Lighten The Gentiles
Hymn For the Twenty-Second Of December
Author: John Q. Adams, 1767-1848 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12411 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D First Line: When o’er the billow-heaving deep Lyrics: 1 When o’er the billow-heaving deep,
The fathers of our race,
The precepts of their God to keep,
Sought here their resting-place—
That gracious God their path prepared,
Preserved from every harm,
And still for their protection bared
His everlasting arm.
2 His breath, inspiring every gale,
Impels them o’er the main;
His guardian angels spread the sail,
And tempests howl in vain.
For them old ocean’s rocks are smoothed;
December’s face grows mild;
To vernal airs her blasts are soothed,
And all their rage beguiled.
3 When Famine rolls her haggard eyes,
His ever-bounteous hand
Abundance from the sea supplies,
And treasures from the sand.
Nor yet His tender mercies cease;
His overruling plan
Inclines to gentleness and peace
The heart of savage man.
4 And can our stony bosoms be
To all these wonders blind?
Nor swell with thankfulness to Thee,
O Parent of mankind?
All-gracious God, inflame our zeal;
Dispense one blessing more;
Grant us Thy boundless love to feel,
Thy goodness to adore. Languages: English Tune Title: KINGSFOLD
Hymn For the Twenty-Second Of December
When Christ Was Born In Bethlehem
Author: George B. Nevin Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12412 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 When Christ was born in Bethlehem,
Was born of mother mild,
The wise men came with incense rare
Unto the holy Child:
The bells of Heav’n rang out with joy,
The shepherds joined the strain—
And all the earth sang loud and clear
Of peace on earth to men.
2 The Christ had brought this blessèd peace
To hearts with sin oppressed,
And now, as then, the weary soul
May find in Him its rest.
O let us all rejoice and sing,
And shout the joyful strain
That Christ, the blessèd Son of God
O’er Heav’n and earth doth reign.
3 All hail the Christ, the mighty King!
The reascended Lord!
Whom angels praise with joyful songs,
By hosts redeemed, adored,
And as of old, the angels sang,
Now let our voices raise—
A song of joy, of peace, of hope,
Of everlasting praise. Languages: English Tune Title: BAMAKO
