When to our world the Saviour came
Never, My Heart, Wilt Thou Grow Old
Author: Louisa J. Hall Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Never, my heart, wilt thou grow old! Lyrics: 1 Never, my heart, wilt thou grow old!
My hair is white, my blood runs cold,
And one by one my powers depart,
But youth sits smiling in my heart.
2 Down hill the path of age! oh, no;
Up, up with patient steps I go;
I watch the skies fast brightening there,
I breathe a sweeter, purer air.
3 Beside my road small tasks spring up,
Though but to hand the cooling cup,
Speak the true word of hearty cheer,
Tell the lone soul that God is near.
4 Beat on, my heart, and grow not old!
But when thy pulses all are told,
Let me, though working, loving still,
Kneel as I meet my Father’s will. Used With Tune: ABENDS

Almighty God and sovereign Lord,
Who art from all eternity,
All things were made and formed by Thee.

By Thee eternal life is giv’n:
Thou art the great and shining light
Which brings the way of truth to sight.
3 Jesus, the glorious Son of God,
Took on Himself our flesh and blood
When He was born the virgin’s Son,
To make the sons of men His own.

Which men or angels never knew;
Till in the flesh it was revealed
And all the prophecies fulfilled.
5 That blessèd Word to me reveal
My Lord! and let me taste and feel
That powerful Word, and light divine,
With life and grace in me to shine. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: Church Hymn Book by Paul Henkel (New Market, VA: Solomon Henkel, 1816)

The Grief Of Pleasures
Author: Phillip S. Worsley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Through miry paths I labored on Lyrics: 1 Through miry paths I labored on;
Dark fell the mist, I could not see;
But when my feet were almost gone,
A voice said—"Turn, and look on Me."
2 Who com’st Thou, taunted like a thief
By hard men, joyous in Thy fall?
Who art Thou, yearning pale with grief
To some friend in the judgment hall?
2 O glance too kind for broken vow,
For crime sinned often and afresh!
O thorns, that wring the purest brow
Made ever yet from human flesh!
3 O printed hands, O printed feet,
O side, dug to the quick with steel!
I marvel, but no answering heat
Strikes through my breast, to make it feel.
4 Ah Lord! but if Thy grace impart
True sorrow for my inward stain,
That look will pierce me to the heart,
That crown will tear me to the brain.
5 Those marks upon Thy feet and hands,
That furrow in Thy sinless side,
Will sear me as with iron brands
While I with Thee hang crucified.
6 Nay, but the world—too far, too much
She lures me with her power to please.
How can I bear Thy healing touch
To rob me of my sweet disease?
7 For e’en again that path of mire,
That dim place, where the mist came down,
Seems, for its joy, worth endless fire,
Such dreams my soul in poison drown.
8 I bathe me in a false delight,
Chew dust for bread: yet, Lord, I pray,
Come, for without Thee day is night,
Come now, for with Thee night is day.
9 Yea, by Thy love, Thy toil to save,
Thy prayer, Thy groans, Thy bloody sweat,
Thy death, Thy rising from the grave,
Look down from Heav’n, and hear me yet. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: Lyra Messianica by Orby Shipley (London: Longman, Green, Longman, roberts & Green, 1864)

We can remember this high hour. Topics: God's House; Lord's Day; Music; Inner Peace; Prayer; Rest; Works; Adoration and Praise Opening of Service Scripture: Psalm 118:19-24 Used With Tune: ABENDS

When Youth Devote Their Early Days
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 When youth devote their early days,
To vain delights and sinful ways,
Their prospects darken as they rise,
And fill them with a dread surprise.
2 Diseases are the fruit of sin,
The malady lies deep within;
An evil course the mind impairs,
And leaves them full of guilt and fears.
3 Sin strengthens with increasing days,
And grows when nature’s self decays;
Indulged, it makes their fetters strong,
And leads the captive slaves along.
4 Beware, ye thoughtless, now beware,
No more presume to persevere;
Today with supplications come,
Tomorrow death may call you home.
5 With earnestness for mercy cry
And God will listen to your sigh;
Now plead for pardon through His Son,
And He’ll forgive what you have done. Used With Tune: ABENDS Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
