Here, O My Lord, I See You
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 315 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:18 First Line: Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face Lyrics: 1 Here, O our Lord, I see you face to face,
here faith can touch and handle things unseen;
I will grasp with firmer hand your grace,
and all my weariness upon you lean.
2 Here I will feed upon the bread of God,
here drink with you the royal wine of heaven;
here I will lay aside each earthly load,
here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
3 Mine is the sin, but yours the righteousness;
mine is the guilt, but yours the cleansing blood:
here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace;
your blood, your righteousness, O Lord, my God.
4 Too soon we rise, the symbols disappear;
the feast, though not the love, is past and done:
gone are the bread and wine, but you are here,
nearer than ever, still my shield and sun.
5 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,
yet, passing, points to that glad feast above;
giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Not Alone for Mighty Empire
Author: William P. Merrill Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 85 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 4:18 Lyrics: 1 Not alone for mighty empire
Stretching far o'er land and sea;
Not alone for bounteous harvests,
Lift we up our hearts to Thee.
Standing in the living present,
Memory and hope between,
Lord, we would with deep thanksgiving
Praise Thee most for things unseen.
2 Not for battleship and fortress,
Not for conquests of the sword;
But for conquests of the spirit
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord;
For the heritage of freedom,
For the home, the church, the school;
For the open door to manhood
In a land the people rule.
3 For the armies of the faithful,
Souls that passed and left no name;
For the glory that illumines
Patriot lives of deathless fame;
For our prophets and apostles,
Loyal to the living Word;
For all heroes of the spirit,
Give we thanks to Thee, O Lord.

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Maruice F. Bell (1862-1947) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 3:12-18, 4:1-2 Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
we celebrate with songs of praise;
for Christ, by whom all things were made,
himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
the loving God who gave the law;
and to Elijah, fasting, came
the steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
delivered from the lions’ might;
and John, the bridegroom’s friend, became
the herald of Messiah’s name.
4 Then grant us, Lord, like them to be
full oft in fast and prayer with thee;
our spirits strengthen with thy grace,
and give us joy to see thy face.
5 O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
to thee be every prayer addressed,
who art in threefold name adored,
from age to age, the only Lord. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Lent (season) Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR Text Sources: Latin (6th cent.)
