On Thy Church, O Power Divine

Author: Harriet Auber Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Thy church, O Power Divine, Cause Thy glorious face to shine; Till the nations from afar Hail her as their guiding star; Till her sons from zone to zone Make Thy great salvation known. 2 Then shall God, with lavish hand, Scatter blessings o’er the land; Earth shall yield her rich increase, Every breeze shall whisper peace, And the world’s remotest bound With the voice of praise resound.

Glorious to our watching eyes

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Glorious to our watching eyes, On the blessed first of days, See the radiant sun arise, Clad in glowing garb of praise; And the angel's words have given Hope to earth, and joy to heaven. 46 Ah, the darkness of the night; Ah, the sighing, and the pain; But the Rising of the Light, Bids us dry our tears again; For our Light, ascending brings Joy and healing in His wings. He is risen, even as He said,-- Great the joy the vision gives; Tell the soul to gladness dead, That the Lord Immortal lives; And the dead to hope shall spring Heavenward, as on tireless wing.

Father, let thy light divine

Author: Anon. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, let thy light divine Brightly o'er my pathway shine; Bid the shadows disappear, Banish every sinful fear; Guide me in the narrow way To the realms of endless day. 2 Canst thou own me as thy child, One so oft by sin defiled? Canst thou fit me, by thy grace, To behold thy dwelling-place? Trembling, Lord, I would believe; Let me not myself deceive. 3 But if I am all thy own, Let me live for thee alone; Let the honor of thy name All my inmost soul inflame; Let thy Holy Spirit move, Till my heart is filled with love.

Patient prayer has power with God

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Patient prayer has power with God; Thus, while Moses raised the rod, Israel o'er the foe prevail'd, But grew feeble when he fail'd, Till, by Hur and Aaron's care, Intercession held up Prayer. Pray ye, pray and never faint, Mourning Sinner, tempted Saint! 81 Faith and Hope your hands sustain, Victory then ye must obtain, Yea, and more than conquerors prove Through your great Redeemer's love.

Savior, Prince of Israel's Race

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Savior, Prince of Israel’s race, See me from Thy lofty throne; Give the sweet relenting grace, Soften this obdurate stone! Stone to flesh, O God, convert; Cast a look, and break my heart! 2. By Thy Spirit, Lord, reprove, All my inmost sins reveal, Sins against Thy light and love Let me see, and let me feel; Sins that crucified my God, Spilt again Thy precious blood. 3. Jesu, seek Thy wandering sheep, Make me restless to return; Bid me look on Thee, and weep, Bitterly as Peter mourn, Till I say, by grace restored, Now Thou know’st I love Thee, Lord 4. Might I in Thy sight appear, As the publican distressed, Stand, not daring to draw near, Smite on my unworthy breast, Groan the sinner’s only plea, God, be merciful to me! 5. O remember me for good, Passing through the mortal vale! Show me the atoning blood, When my strength and spirit fail; Give my gasping soul to see Jesus crucified for me!

When In Dark And Dreadful Gloom

Author: James Montgomery,1771-1854 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When in dark and dreadful gloom, Clouds on clouds portentous spread, Black as if the day of doom Hung o’er nature’s shrinking head: When the lightning breaks from high, God is coming—God is nigh! 2 Then we hear His chariot wheels, As the mighty thunder rolls; Nature, startled nature reels, From the center to the poles; Then the ocean, earth and sky, Tremble as He passes by. 3 Darkness, wild with horror, forms His mysterious hiding place; Should He from His ark of storms, Rend the veil and show His face, At the judgment of His eye, All the universe would die! 4 God of vengeance! from above, While Thine awful bolts are hurled, O remember Thou art love! Spare! O spare a guilty world! Stay Thy flaming wrath awhile, Let the bow of promise smile! 5 When the last dread day appears Bursting wide from pole to pole, When amid the shivering spheres, Twice ten thousand thunders roll; When the dream of time shall end, May I find the Judge my friend!
