Hosanna to the living Lord!

Author: R. Heber Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hosanna to the living Lord! Hosanna to the Incarnate Word! To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King, Let earth, let heaven, Hosanna sing! Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! 2 Hosanna, Lord! Thine angels cry; Hosanna, Lord! Thy saints reply; Above, beneath us, and around, The dead and living swell the sound: Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! 3 O Saviour, with protecting care, Return to this Thy house of prayer; Assembled in Thy sacred Name, Where we Thy parting promise claim: Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! 4 But, chiefest, in our cleansed breast, Eternal, bid Thy Spirit rest, And make our secret soul to be A temple pure, and worthy Thee: Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! 5 So, in that last and dreadful day, When earth and heaven shall melt away, Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain, Shall swell the sound of praise again: Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! Topics: General Used With Tune: HOSANNA

Jerusalem, my happy home

Author: J. Montgomery Appears in 842 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me, When shall my labours have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 4 Why should I shrink from pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I've Cannaan's goodly land in view, And realms of endless day 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Saviour stand: And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labours have an end When I thy joys shall see.

Jesus, Lover of my soul

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 3,229 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high; Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past; Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last. 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cleanse from every sin; Let the healing streams abound, Make and keep me pure within: Thou of life the fountain art, Freely let me take of Thee: Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me

Author: E. Hopper Appears in 1,185 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me Over life's tempestuous sea; Unknown waves before me roll, Hiding rock, and treacherous shoal; Chart and compass came from Thee: Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 2 As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; Boisterous waves obey Thy will When Thou say'st to them, "Be still." Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea, Jesus, Saviour, pilot me. 3 When at last I near the shore, And the fearful breakers roar 'Twixt me and the peaceful rest, Then, while leaning on Thy breast, May I hear Thee say to me, "Fear not, I will pilot thee."

Judge eternal, throned in splendour

Author: H. S. Holland Appears in 107 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendour, Lord of lords, and King of kings, With Thy living fire of judgment Purge this land of bitter things Solace all its wide dominion With the healing of Thy wings. 2 Still the weary folk are pining For the hour that brings release, And the city's crowded clangour Cries aloud for sin to cease; And the homesteads and the woodlands Plead in silence for their peace. 3 Crown, O God, Thine own endeavour; Cleave our darkness with Thy sword; Feed the faint and hungry heathen With the richness of Thy word; Cleanse the body of this nation Through the glory of the Lord.

Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace

Author: B. Barton Appears in 276 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace, Brook by the traveller's way. 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed, True manna from on high; Our guide and chart, wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky; 3 Pillar of fire, through watches dark, And radiant cloud by day; When waves would 'whelm our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay. 4 Word of the everlasting God, Will of His glorious Son; Without thee how could earth be trod Or heaven itself be won? 5 Lord, grant us all aright to learn The wisdom it imparts; And to its heavenly teaching turn, With simple, childlike hearts.

Lead, kindly Light, amid th' encircling gloom

Author: J. H. Newman Appears in 1,231 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid th' encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on: The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet! I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day; and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace

Author: W. H. Burleigh Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; Without Thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appal, and sorrows still increase; Lead us thro' 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 and hope. 3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadow of a darksome night, Only with Thee we journey safely on. 4 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be, Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in Thee.

Let saints on earth in concert sing

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 175 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing With those whose work is done; For all the servants of our King In heav'n and earth are one. 2 One family, we dwell in Him, One Church, above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home There pass some spirits blest; While others to the margin come, Waiting their call to rest. 5 Jesus, be Thou our constant Guide; Then, when the word is given, Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, And bring us safe to heaven.
