O for a heart to praise my God!

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: HPAG1933 #260 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a heart to praise my God! A heart from sin set free; A heart that always feels Thy blood, So freely shed for me; 2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, My great Redeemer's throne, Where only Christ is heard to speak, Where Jesus reigns alone; 3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart, Believing, true, and clean, Which neither life nor death can part From Him that dwells within; 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine, Perfect and right and pure and good, A copy, Lord, of Thine! 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write Thy new Name upon my heart, Thy new, best Name of Love. Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Aspiration; Adoration; Love and Communion; Resting in God Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

E'en though it be a cross 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 heaven: All that Thou sendest me In mercy given: 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!

Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace

Author: William Henry Burleigh Hymnal: HPAG1933 #262 (1950) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace: Without Thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. 2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth: Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope, While passion stains and folly dims our youth, And age comes on uncheered by faith or hope. 3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right: Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a darkening night; Only with Thee we journey safely on. 4 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the pathway be, Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in Thee.

We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen

Author: Anna B. Warner Hymnal: HPAG1933 #263 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 We would see Jesus; for the shadows lengthen Across this little landscape of our life; We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen For the last weariness, the final strife. 2 We would see Jesus, the great Rock Foundation Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace: Nor life nor death, with all their agitation, Can thence remove us, if we see His face. 3 We would see Jesus; sense is all too blinding, And heaven appears too dim, too far away; We would see Thee, to gain a sweet reminding That Thou hast promised our great debt to pay. 4 We would see Jesus: this is all we’re needing; Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight; We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading; Then welcome day, and farewell mortal night.

Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings

Author: Rev. Robert Seagrave Hymnal: HPAG1933 #264 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Toward heaven, thy destined place. Sun and moon and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So my soul, derived from God, Longs to view His glorious face, Forward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, my soul, then, cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon the Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and we know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven.

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Rev. Frederick H. Hedge; Rev. Martin Luther Hymnal: HPAG1933 #266 (1950) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient Foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great; And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God's own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He, Lord Sabaoth His Name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The Prince of Darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure; One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth; Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His Kingdom is forever. Amen. Topics: The Life in Christ Loyalty and Courage; Courage and Loyalty; God Refuge, our ; Loyalty and Courage; Zeal Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

O Jesus, I have promised

Author: Rev. John E. Bode Hymnal: HPAG1933 #268a (1950) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; Be Thou forever near me, My Master and my Friend: I shall not fear the battle If Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway If Thou wilt be my Guide. 2 O let me feel Thee near me! The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will! O speak to reassure me, To hasten or control! O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, Thou has promised To all who follow Thee That where Thou art in glory There shall Thy servant be; And, Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end; O give me grace to follow, My Master and my Friend!
