Take Time to Be Holy
Author: William D. Longstaff Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 313 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Trust Lyrics: 1 Take time to be holy,
speak oft with your Lord;
abide in him always,
and feed on his word.
Make friends of God's children,
help those who are weak,
forgetting in nothing
his blessing to seek.
2 Take time to be holy,
let him be your guide,
and run not before him,
whatever betide.
In joy or in sorrow,
still follow the Lord,
and, looking to Jesus,
still trust in his word.
3 Take time to be holy,
be calm in your soul,
each thought and each motive
beneath his control.
Thus led by his spirit
to fountains of love,
you soon shall be fitted
for service above. Used With Tune: HOLINESS

Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me
Author: Edward Hopper Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,190 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
over life's tempestuous sea;
unknown waves before me roll,
hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
chart and compass come 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 biddest to them "Be still."
Wondrous sovereign 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 land,
still supported by thy hand,
may I hear thee say to me,
"Fear not, I will pilot thee." Used With Tune: PILOT
Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Me
Lead, Kindly LIght
Author: John Henry Newman Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,233 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Pilgrimage First Line: Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly light, amid the 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. Used With Tune: LUX BENIGNA

Author: Peter Williams; William Williams; Flosette du Pasquier Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 with repeat Appears in 1,832 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
hold me with thy powerful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
feed me till I want no more,
feed me till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain
whence the healing stream doth flow;
let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
be thou still my strength and shield,
be thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside;
death of death, and hell's destruction,
land me safe on Canaan's side:
songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee,
I will ever give to thee. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 370 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life,
where sound the cries of race and clan,
above the noise of selfish strife,
we hear your voice of life again.
2 In haunts of wretchedness and need,
on shadowed thresholds, dark with fears,
from paths where hide the lures of greed,
we catch the vision of your tears.
3 The cup of water given for you
still holds the freshness of your grace;
yet long these multitudes to view
the strong compassion of your face.
4 O Master, from the mountainside
make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
among these restless throngs abide,
and tread the city's streets again,
5 till all the world shall learn your love
and follow where your feet have trod,
till glorious from your heaven above
shall come the city of our God. Used With Tune: FULDA
Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
To Us All, to Every Nation
Author: W. Garrett Horder; James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 197 hymnals Topics: The Church in the World Commitment: Peace and Justice Lyrics: 1 To us all, to every nation
comes a moment to decide,
in the strife of truth with falsehood
for the good or evil side,
some great cause, some modern prophet
offering each the bloom or blight,
and the choice goes by for ever
'twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble
when we share its wretched crust,
ere the cause bring fame and profit
and 'tis prosperous to be just.
Then it is the brave one chooses,
while the coward stands aside
till the multitude make virtue
of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs,
Jesus' bleeding feet we track,
toiling up new Calvaries ever
with the cross that turns not back;
new occasions teach new duties,
time makes ancient good uncouth;
they must upward still and onward,
who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
yet 'tis truth alone is strong,
though its portion be the scaffold
and upon the throne be wrong.
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
and, behind the dim unknown,
there stands God within the shadow,
keeping watch beside God's own. Used With Tune: EBENEZER
