A Glorious Day Is Dawning

Author: Mrs. N. T. Munroe Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A glorious day is dawning, And o’er the waking earth The heralds of the morning Are springing into birth. In dark and hidden places There shines the blessèd light; The beam of truth displaces The darkness of the night. 2. The advocates of error Foresee the glorious morn, And hear in shrinking terror, The watchword of reform: It rings from hill and valley, It breaks oppression’s chain. A thousand freemen rally, And swell the mighty strain. 3. The watchword has been spoken, The light has broken forth, Far shines the blessèd token Upon the startled earth, To hearts and homes benighted, The blessèd Truth is given, And peace and love, united, Point upward unto Heav’n.

There's a Friend for little children

Author: Albert Midlane Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 248 hymnals Lyrics: There's a Friend for little children Above the bright blue sky, A Friend who never changes, Whose love will never die; Our earthly friends may fail us, And change with changing years, This Friend is always worthy Of that dear Name he bears. There's a rest for little children Above the bright blue sky, Who love the blessed Savior, And to the Father cry; A rest from every turmoil, From sin and sorrow free, Where every little pilgrim Shall rest eternally. There's a home for little children Above the bright blue sky, Where Jesus reigns in glory, A home of peace and joy; No home on earth is like it, Nor can with it compare; For every one is happy Nor could be happier there. There's a song for little children Above the bright blue sky, A song that will not weary, Though sung continually; A song which even angels Can never, never sing; They know not Christ as Savior, But worship him as King. 330 There's a crown for little children Above the bright blue sky, And all who look for Jesus Shall wear it by and by; All, all above is treasured, And found in Christ alone: Lord, grant thy little children To know thee as their own. Amen. Topics: Catechism; Sunday Schools Closing Hymns; Sunday Schools General Use Used With Tune: IN MEMORIAM (STAINER)

O Haupt Voll Blut Und Wunden

Author: Bernard von Clairvaux; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden, Voll Schmerz und voller Hohn, O Haupt, zum Spott gebunden Mit einer Dornenkron’, O Haupt, sonst schön gezieret Mit höchster Ehr’ und Zier, Jetzt aber höchst schimpfieret; Gegrüßet sei’st du mir! 2 Du edles Angesichte, Davor sonst schrickt und scheut Das große Weltgewichte, Wie bist du so bespeit! Wie bist du so erbleichet! Wer hat dein Augenlicht, Dem sonst kein Licht nicht gleichet, So schändlich zugericht’t? 3 Die Farbe deiner Wangen, Der roten Lippen Pracht Ist hin und ganz vergangen; Des blaßen Todes Macht Hat alles hingenommen, Hat alles hingerafft, Und daher bist du kommen Von deines Leibes Kraft. 4 Nun, was du, Herr, erduldet, Ist alles meine Last; Ich hab’ es selbst verschuldet, Was du getragen hast. Schau her, hier steh’ ich Armer, Der Zorn verdienet hat; Gib mir, o mein Erbarmer, Den Anblick deiner Gnad’! 5 Erkenne mich, mein Hüter, Mein Hirte, nimm mich an! Von dir, Quell’ aller Güter, Ist mir viel Gut’s getan. Dein Mund hat mich gelabet Mit Mich und süßer Kost; Dein Geist hat mich begabet Mit mancher Himmelslust. 6 Ich will hier bei dir stehen, Verachte mich doch nicht! Von dir will ich nicht gehen, Wenn dir dein Herze bricht; Wenn dein haupt wird erblaßen Im letzten Todesstoß, Alsdann will ich dich faßen In meinem Arm und Schoß. 7 Es dient zu meinen Freuden Und kommt mir herzlich wohl, Wenn ich in deinem Leiden, Mein Heil, mich finden soll. Ach, möcht’ ich, o mein Leben, An deinem Kreuze hier Mein Leben von mir geben, Wie wohl geschähe mir! 8 Ich danke dir von Herzen, O Jesu, liebster Freund, Für deines Todes Schmerzen, Da du’s so gut gemeint. Ach gib, daß ich mich halte Zu dir und deiner Treu’ Und, wenn ich nun erkalte, In dir mein Ende sei! 9 Wann ich einmal soll scheiden, So scheide nicht von mir, Wenn ich den Tod soll leiden, So tritt du dann herfür; Wenn mir am allerbängsten Wird um das Herze sein, So reiß mich aus den Ängsten Kraft deiner Angst und Pein! 10 Erscheine mir zum Schilde, Zum Trost in meinem Tod, Und laß mich sehn dein Bilde In deiner Kreuzesnot! Da will ich nacht dir blicken, Da will ich glaubensvoll Dich fest an mein Herz drücken. Wer so stirbt, der stirbt wohl. Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

I Need Thee, Precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 307 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I need thee, precious Jesus, for I am full of sin; my soul is dark and guilty, my heart is dead within. I need the cleansing fountain where I can always flee, the blood of Christ most precious, the sinner's perfect plea. 2 I need thee, precious Jesus, for I am very poor; a stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus to cheer me on my way, to guide my doubting footsteps, to be my strength and stay. 3 I need thee, precious Jesus, and hope to see thee soon, encircled with the rainbow and seated on thy throne. There, with thy blood-bought children, my joy shall ever be, to sing my Jesus' praises, to gaze, O Lord, on thee.

O Father, all creating

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: O Father, all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and power First bound two lives together In Eden's primal hour, Today to these thy children Thine earliest gifts renew-- A home by thee made happy, A love by thee kept true. O Savior, Guest most bounteous Of old in Galilee, Vouchsafe today thy presence With these who call on thee; Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heavenly wine, And teach them, in the tasting, To know the gift is thine. O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in thy pureness, So tender in thy love; That, guarded by thy presence, From sin and strife kept free, Their lives may own thy guidance, Their hearts be ruled by thee. 348 Except thou build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Except thou, Savior, bless it, The joy will turn to pain; But naught can break the marriage Of hearts in thee made one, And love thy Spirit hallows Is endless love begun.

O Christ, the Word Incarnate

Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 490 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the Word Incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth, unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky; we praise thee for the radiance that from the scripture's page, a lantern to our footsteps, shines on from age to age. 2 The Church from our dear Master received the word divine, and still that light is lifted o'er all the earth to shine. It is the chart and compass that o'er life's surging sea, mid mists and rocks and quicksands, still guides, O Christ, to thee. 3 O make thy Church, dear Savior, a lamp of purest gold, to bear before the nations thy true light as of old; O teach thy wandering pilgrims by this their path to trace, till, clouds and darkness ended, they see thee face to face.
