Come, Thou Almighty King
Author: Anon. Appears in 1,812 hymnals Topics: Supplications Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Almighty King,
help us thy name to sing,
help us to praise.
Father, all glorious,
o'er all victorious,
come and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.
2 Come, thou Incarnate Word,
gird on thy mighty sword,
scatter thy foes.
Let thine almighty aid
our sure defense be made,
our souls on thee be stayed;
thy wonders show.
3 Come, Holy Comforter,
thy sacred witness bear
in this glad hour.
Thou who almighty art,
now rule in ev'ry heart,
and ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.
4 To the great One in Three
eternal praises be,
hence evermore.
His sov'reign majesty
may we in glory see,
and to eternity
love and adore. Scripture: Psalm 45:3 Used With Tune: TRINITY (ITALIAN HYMN)

O thou to whose all-searching sight
Author: Count Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 391 hymnals Topics: Supplication For Sanctification Lyrics: 1 O thou to whose all-searching sight
The darkness shineth as the light,
Search, prove my heart; it pants for thee;
O burst these bands and set it free.
2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross;
Nail my affections to the cross;
Hallow each thought; let all within
Be clean, as thou, my Lord, art clean.
3 If in this dark-some wild I stray,
Be thou my Light, be thou my Way;
No foes, no violence I fear,
No harm, while thou, my God, art near.
4 Saviour, where'er thy steps I see,
Dauntless, untired, I follow thee:
O let thy hand support me still,
And lead me to thy holy hill.
5 If rough and thorny be my way,
My strength proportion to my day;
Till toil and grief and pain shall cease
Where all is calm and joy and peace.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 139:12 Used With Tune: BERA

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me
Author: Edward Hopper, 1818–1888 Appears in 1,215 hymnals Topics: Prayer and Supplication; Supplication Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Savior, pilot me
Over life’s tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treach’rous shoal.
Chart and compass came from thee;
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
2. As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boist’rous waves obey thy will
When thou say’st to them, “Be still!”
Wondrous Sov’reign of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
3. When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
’Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on thy breast,
May I hear thee say to me,
“Fear not; I will pilot thee.” Scripture: Mark 4:39-41 Used With Tune: [Jesus, Savior, pilot me]

That raiseth me.
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
2. Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone,
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
3. There let the way appear,
Steps unto heav’n;
All that thou sendest me,
In mercy giv’n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
4. Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I’ll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee!
5. Or if, on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer, my God, to thee,
Nearer to thee! Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Used With Tune: [Nearer, my God, to thee]

Sun of My soul, Thou Savior Dear
Author: John Keble Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,477 hymnals Topics: Supplication For Blessings Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, thou Savior dear,
it is not night if thou be near;
O may no earth-born cloud arise
to hide thee from thy servant's eyes.
2 When the soft dews of kindly sleep
my weary eyelids gently steep,
be my last thought, how sweet to rest
For ever on my Savior's breast.
3 Abide with me from morn till eve,
for without thee I cannot live;
abide with me when night is nigh,
for without thee I dare not die.
4 If some poor wand'ring child of thine
have spurned today the voice divine,
now, Lord, the gracious work begin;
let him no more lie down in sin.
5 Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
with blessings from thy boundless store;
be ev'ry mourner's sleep tonight,
like infant's slumbers, pure and light.
6 Come near and bless us when we wake,
ere through the world our way we take,
till in the ocean of thy love
we lose ourselves in heav'n above.
Scripture: Psalm 139:12 Used With Tune: HURSLEY

Zion, let me enter there,
Where my soul in joyful duty
Waits for him who answers prayer.
Oh, how blessed is this place,
Filled with solace, light, and grace!
2 Lord, my God, I come before thee,
Come thou also unto me;
Where we find thee and adore thee,
There a heav'n on earth must be.
To my heart, O enter thou,
Let it be thy temple now!
3 Here thy praise is gladly chanted,
Here thy seed is duly sown;
Let my soul, where it is planted,
Bring forth precious sheaves alone,
So that all I hear may be
Fruitful unto life in me.
4 Thou my faith increase and quicken,
Let me keep thy gift divine,
Howsoe'er temptations thicken;
May thy Word still o'er me shine
As my guiding star through life,
As my comfort in my strife.
5 Speak, O God, and I will hear thee,
Let thy will be done indeed;
May I undisturbed draw near thee
While thou dost thy people feed.
Here of live the fountain flows,
Here is balm for all our woes.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 27:4 Used With Tune: NEANDER

In lasting radiance from above,
And pour the Holy Spirit's ray
On all we think or do today.

We plead with Sovereign Grace for pow'r
To conquer in temptation's hour.

And keep our hearts from envy's blight;
Let faith her eager fires renew,
And hate the false, and love the true.

With thoughts as pure as morning's ray,
With faith like noontide shining bright,
Our souls unshadowed by the night.
6 Dawn's glory gilds the earth and skies,
Let him, our perfect Morn, arise,
The Word in God the Father one,
The Father imaged in the Son.
Amen. Scripture: John 1:4 Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW
O Splendor of God's glory bright
