When like a stranger on our sphere
Author: J. Montgomery Appears in 76 hymnals Used With Tune: BERA
When like a stranger on our sphere
God of my life, to Thee I call!
Appears in 172 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call!
Afflicted at Thy feet I fall;
When the great water-floods prevail,
Leave not my trembling heart to fail.
2 Friend of the friendless and the faint!
Where should I lodge my deep complaint?
Where but with Thee, whose open door
Invites the helpless and the poor!
3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee.
And Thou refuse that mourner's plea?
Does not Thy word still fixed remain,
That none shall seek Thy face in vain!
4 Poor though I am--despised, forgot,
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
And he is safe, and must succeed,
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.
Amen. Used With Tune: BERA

The Way Of Sorrows
Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O Lord, the wilderness to me Lyrics: 1 O Lord, the wilderness to me
A very paradise shall be,
Since Thou for forty days wast there,
In fasting, solitude and prayer.
2 Unworthy though these feet to rest
On ground Thy footsteps once have blest,
The way of sorrows shall be mine,
Made sweet because it first was Thine.
3 Lord, let me find some lowly place
Where I may seek Thy pitying face,
And plead with Thee by Olivet,
By agony, and bloody sweat.
4 Some quiet aisle or dim recess
Shall make for me a wilderness;
And surely angels shall be there
To wait on penitence and prayer.
5 Nor is this all: for I would know
The depth of shame, the crown of woe
Stand by the stricken Mother’s side,
While Thou art mocked and crucified.
6 And then in hours of saddest gloom
I still will watch around Thy tomb,
Till with the day new joy be born,
And Thou shalt rise on Easter morn.
7 O blessèd thought, that faith can see
In every altar—Calvary,
Find there the loving arms outspread,
And fall before the fallen Head.
8 Come King of kings, come Light of light:
The Bride awaits the day all bright,
When she shall lift, her mourning o’er,
The shout of Paschal joy once more.

The Way Of Sorrows
Almighty Father, Heaven and Earth
Author: Rev. E. A. Dayman Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Almighty Father, heav'n and earth Lyrics: 1. Almighty Father, heav'n and earth
With lavish wealth before Thee bow;
Those treasures owe to Thee their birth,
Creator, Ruler, Giver, Thou.
2. The wealth of earth, of sky, of sea,
The gold, the silver, sparkling gem,
The waving corn, the bending tree,
Are Thine; to us Thou lendest them.
3. We, Lord, would lay, at Thy behest,
The costliest off'rings on Thy shrine;
But when we give, and give our best,
We only give Thee that is Thine.
4. O Father, whence all blessings come,
O Son, dispenser of God's store,
O Spirit, bear our off'rings home,
Lord, make them Thine forevermore. Topics: The Christian Life Stewardship Used With Tune: BERA

This Spacious Earth Is All the Lord's
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 60 hymnals Lyrics: 1. This spacious earth is all the Lord’s,
And men, and worms, and beasts, and birds:
He raised the building on the seas,
And gave it for their dwelling place.
2. But there’s a brighter world on high,
Thy palace, Lord, above the sky:
Who shall ascend that blest abode,
And dwell so near his Maker God?
3. He that abhors and fears to sin,
Whose heart is pure, whose hands are clean,
Him shall the Lord the Savior bless,
And clothe his soul with righteousness.
4. These are the men, the pious race,
That seek the God of Jacob’s face:
These shall enjoy the blissful sight,
And dwell in everlasting light.
5. Rejoice, ye shining worlds on high,
Behold the King of glory nigh!
Who can this King of glory be?
The mighty Lord, the Savior’s He.
6. Ye heav’nly gates, your leaves display,
To make the Lord the Savior way:
Laden with spoils from earth and hell,
The Conqueror comes with God to dwell.
7. Raised from the dead, He goes before;
He opens Heav’n’s eternal door,
To give His saints a blest abode,
Near their Redeemer and their God. Used With Tune: BERA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
