Lord, in Thy name Thy servants plead

Author: Rev. J. Keble Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, in Thy Name Thy servants plead, And Thou hast sworn to hear; Thine is the harvest, Thine the seed, The fresh and fading year. 2 Our hope, when autumn winds blew wild, We trusted, Lord, with Thee: And now that spring has on us smiled, We wait on Thy decree. 3 The former and the latter rain, The summer sun and air, The green ear, and the golden grain, All Thine, are ours by prayer. 4 Thine too by right, and ours by grace, The wondrous growth unseen, The hopes that soothe, the fears that brace, The love that shines serene. 5 So grant the precious things brought forth By sun and moon below, That Thee, in Thy new heavens and earth, We never may forego. Amen. Topics: Rogation Days; Providence Used With Tune: [Lord, in Thy name Thy servants plead]

These Glorious Minds, How Bright They Shine

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1. These glorious minds, how bright they shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the happy seats Of everlasting day? 2. From torturing pains to endless joys On fiery wheels they rode, And strangely washed their raiment white In Jesus’ dying blood. 3. Now they approach a spotless God, And bow before His throne Their warbling harps and sacred songs Adore the Holy One. 4. The unveiled glories of His face Amongst His saints reside, While the rich treasure of His grace Sees all their wants supplied. 5. Tormenting thirst shall leave their souls, And hunger flee as fast; The fruit of life’s immortal tree Shall be their sweet repast. 6. The Lamb shall lead His heav’nly flock Where living fountains rise; And love divine shall wipe away The sorrows of their eyes.

O Thou Who Once In Galilee

Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou who once in Galilee Didst make the deaf to hear, The mute to speak, the blind to see, Blest Son of God, be near. 2 O deign to hear the silent prayer Of Thine afflicted own; Yea, bid them cast on Thee all care, Thy grace to them make known. 3 The speechless tongue, the lifeless ear Thou canst restore, O Lord; Thine Ephphatha, O Savior dear, Can instant help afford. 4 But if it be the Father's will That they should suffer loss, O lend them grace with patience still To bear a painful cross. 5 Meanwhile to them the listening ear Of faith in Thee impart, And let Thy Word bring light and cheer To every troubled heart. 6 Some day in yonder happy land, Each loss will prove a gain, All mysteries we'll understand, For Thou wilt make them plain.
