O Thou Who didst on earth appear

Author: J. Wright Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who didst on earth appear Our sin and sorrow to destroy, Our lives to bless, our souls to cheer, Give us Thy joy. 2 Thou Who amidst our changeful life Canst bid each vain commotion cease, Subdue the angry waves of strife, Give us Thy peace. 3 Thou Sun divine, Whose beams illume Our pathway, making all things bright, Whose glory shines around the tomb, Give us Thy light. 4 Blest Lord and Saviour, till at last We see the sweetness of Thy face, And Time's dark night is over-past, Give us Thy grace. 5 Thy joy, Thy peace, Thy light, Thy grace, Thus in Thy loving-kindness given, Can make earth's darkest, saddest place As fair as heaven.

Through good report and evil, Lord

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through good report and evil, Lord, Still guided by Thy faithful Word,-- Our staff, our buckler, and our sword, We follow Thee. 2 With enemies on every side, We lean on Thee, the Crucified; Forsaking all on earth beside, We follow Thee. 3 O Master, point Thou out the way, Nor suffer Thou our steps to stray; Then in the path that leads to day, We follow Thee. 4 Thou hast passed on before our face; Thy footsteps on the way we trace; O, keep us, aid us by Thy grace: We follow Thee. 5 Whom have we in the heaven above, Whom on this earth, save Thee, to love? Still in Thy light we onward move; We follow Thee. Amen. Used With Tune: HANFORD

When night her sable curtain spreads

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: I When night her sable curtain spreads, And darkness falls on sea and land, In silent beauty, o’er our heads, The stars shine grand. II The orb of day his race hath run, But see what glory comes to view, As, full of radiance, one by one, The stars shine true. III Now bright their silver light appears, And reverent eyes behold the sight; Hope lights the darkness of our fears— The stars shine bright. IV When on our life the curtain falls, And fast descends a threatening night, Then, lest dismay the soul appals, The stars shine bright. V O great the wisdom, great the power,— God draws the curtains of the night, And, in the dark and lonesome hour, The stars shine bright. VI The glory and the truth of God, His lovingkindness and His care,— Such is the light He sheds abroad, His stars shine rare.

III O hide the secrets of my soul, And give the pardon I have sought, And to the myriads round Thy throne, O tell them not. IV O merciful and just Thou art; In pity view my woeful lot, And shame me not because of sin,— O tell it not. Hymns from the East, 1907
