O Thou, Who Gav'st Thy Servant Grace

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou, who gav’st Thy servant grace On Thee the living rock to rest, To look on Thine unveiled face, And lean on Thy protecting breast. 2. Grant us, O King of mercy, still To feel Thy presence from above, And in Thy word and in Thy will To hear Thy voice and know Thy love. 3. And when the toils of life are done, And nature waits Thy just decree, To find our rest beneath Thy throne, And look in certain hope to Thee. 4. To Thee, O Jesus, light of light, Whom as their king the saints adore, Thou strength and refuge in the fight, Be laud and glory evermore.

Almighty Ruler of the Skies

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Almighty Ruler of the skies, Thro’ the wide earth Thy name is spread; And Thine eternal glories rise O’er all the heav’ns Thy hands have made. 2. To Thee the voices of the young A monument of honor raise; And babes, with uninstructed tongue, Declare the wonders of Thy praise. 3. Thy power assists their tender age To bring proud rebels to the ground, To still the bold blasphemer’s rage, And all their policies confound. 4. Children amidst Thy temple throng To see their great Redeemer’s face; The Son of David is their song, And young hosannas fill the place. 5. The frowning scribes and angry priests In vain their impious cavils bring; Revenge sits silent in their hearts; While Jewish babes proclaim their King.

Ere yet the dawn hath filled the skies

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ere yet the dawn hath filled the skies Behold my Saviour Christ arise; He chaseth from us sin and night, And brings us joy and life and light. 2 O stronger Thou than death and hell, Where is the foe Thou canst not quell! What heavy stone Thou canst not roll From off the prisoned suff'ring soul? 3 If Jesus lives can I be sad? I know He loves me, and am glad: Though all the world were dead to me, Enough, O Christ, if I have Thee! 4 He feeds me, comforts and defends, And when I die His angels sends To bear me whither He is gone, For of His own He loseth none. 5 No more to fear or grief I bow, God and the angels love me now; The joys prepared for me to-day Drive fear and mourning far away. Amen. Topics: Christ The Life; Christ Light; Christ Resurrection of; Morning Used With Tune: BROOKFIELD

O Happy Time! Auspicious Morn!

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O happy time! Auspicious morn! When the blest Prince of Peace was born; Angels in raptures hailed His birth, Who brought down peace from Heaven to earth. 2 ’Twas when th’appointed years were run, The God of grace sent forth His Son; In mortal dress this Prince of light Conceals a form divinely bright. 3 Heaven’s equal laws by us defied Jesus obeyed and patient died; Our curse He bears upon the tree, And by His death makes captives free. 4 The saint’s full bliss, who can relate? His honors, how divinely great, Through Christ a son, a royal heir, What angel can the bliss declare? 5 Ye men with joyful angels sing, For unto you was born this King; In heavenly raptures hail His birth; Who brought down peace from Heaven to earth.
