While We Lowly Bow Before Thee

Author: Daniel C. Colesworthy Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While we lowly bow before Thee, Wilt Thou, gracious Saviour, hear? We are poor and needy sinners, Full of doubt and full of fear; Gracious Savior, gracious Savior, Make us humble and sincere. 2 Fill us with Thy Holy Spirit; Sanctify us by Thy grace; Oh, incline us more to love Thee, And in dust our souls abase. Hear us, Savior, hear us, Savior, And unveil Thy glorious face. 3 None in vain did ever ask Thee For the Spirit of Thy love; Hear us then, dear Savior, hear us; Grant an answer from above; Blessed Savior, blessed Savior, Hear, and answer from above.

Thou, O Spirit, Thou, O Spirit, Art my guide, my light divine. 3 I have pledged, and would not falter, Truth, obedience, love to Thee; I have vows upon Thine altar Ever Thine alone to be, And forever, And forever, Sin and all its lusts to flee. 4 Gracious God, all Thou hast spoken In this covenant shall take place; But if I, alas, have broken These my vows, hide not Thy face; And from falling, And from falling, O restore me by Thy grace! 5 Lord, to Thee I now surrender All I have, and all I am; Make my heart more true and tender, Glorify in me Thy name. Let obedience, Let obedience, To Thy will be all my aim. 6 Help me in this high endeavor, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Bind my heart to Thee forever, Till I join the heavenly host; Living, dying, Living, dying, Let me make in Thee my boast.

Long upon the Mountains

Author: Annie R. Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: Long upon the mountains weary Lyrics: 1. Long upon the mountains weary, Have the scattered flock been torn; Dark the desert paths, and dreary; Grievous trials have they borne. Now the gathering call is sounding, Solemn in its warning voice; Union, faith, and love, abounding, Bid the little flock rejoice. 2. Now the light of truth they’re seeking, In its onward track pursue; All the ten commandments keeping, They are holy, just and true. On the words of life they’re feeding, Precious to their taste so sweet; All their Master’s precepts heeding, Bowing humbly at His feet. 3. In that light of light and beauty, In that golden city fair, Soon its pearly gates they’ll enter, And of all its glories share. There, divine the soul’s expansions; Free from sin, and death, and pain; Tears will never dim those mansions Where the saints immortal reign. 4. Soon He comes! with clouds descending; All His saints, entombed arise; The redeemed, in anthems blending, Shout their vic’try thro’ the skies. O, we long for Thine appearing; Come, O Savior, quickly come! Blessèd hope! our spirits cheering, Take Thy ransomed children home. Used With Tune: GREENVILLE

A King Might Miss the Guiding Star

Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A king might miss the guiding star, A wise man’s foot might stumble; For Bethlehem is very far From all except the humble. ’Tis Christmas Day! ’Tis Christmas Day! And Christian hearts are humble. 2. Some pilgrims seek a hallowed shrine; Some soldiers march to danger; Some travelers seek an inn—its sign The Baby in a manger. When Christ was born on Christmas morn, They laid Him in a manger. 3. There is no palace in that place, Nor any seat of learning, No hilltop vision of God’s face, No altar candles burning: O come and see our Christmas tree And Christmas candles burning. 4. But he who gets to Bethlehem Shall hear the oxen lowing; And, if he humbly kneel with them, May catch far trumpets blowing; From far away, on Christmas Day, May hear God’s trumpets blowing.
