Oft in danger, oft in woe

Author: Henry Kirke White Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 350 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Oft in danger, oft in woe, Onward, Christians, onward go; Fight the fight, maintain the strife, Strengthened with the Bread of Life. Let sour drooping hearts be glad; March in heavenly armour clad; Fight, nor think the battle long, Soon shall victory tune your song. Let not sorrow dim your eye, Soon shall every tear be dry; Let not fears your course impede, Great your strength, if great your need. Onward then to battle move, More than conquerors ye shall prove; Though opposed by many a foe, Christian soldiers, onward go. Used With Tune: UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

Songs of praise the angels sang

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 547 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Songs of praise the angels sang, Heaven with alleluias rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When he spake and it was done. Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose when He Captive led captivity. Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day: God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. And shall man alone be dumb, Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 233 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ.

Around the throne of God a band

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Around the throne of God a band Of bright and glorious angels stand; Sweet harps within their hands they hold, And on their heads are crowns of gold. Some wait around him ready still To sing his praise and do his will, And some, when he commands them, go To guard his servants here below. Lord, give thine angels every day Command to guard us on our way, And bid them every evening keep Their watch around us while we sleep. So shall no wicked thing draw near To do us harm, or cause us fear; And we shall dwell, when life is past, With angels round thy throne at last. Amen. Used With Tune: ABENDS

Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. Jesus, thou friend divine, Our Savior and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliverance bring. Sure as thy truth shall last, To Sion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

We give Thee but Thine own

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 498 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: We give thee but thine own, Whate'er the gift may be: All that we have is thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from thee. May we thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as thou blessest us, To thee our first-fruits give. O hearts are bruised and dead, And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the Fold! To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless Is angels' work below. The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christ-like thing. And we believe thy word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto thee. Amen. Used With Tune: CAMBRIDGE

I think when I read that sweet story of old

Author: Jemima Luke Meter: 11.8.12.9 Appears in 863 hymnals Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How he called little children as lambs to his fold, I should like to have been with them then. I wish that his hands had been placed on my head, That his arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen his kind look when he said, "Let the little ones come unto me." Yet still to his footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in his love; And if I thus earnestly seek him below, I shall see him and hear him above, In that beautiful place he has gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children shall be with him there, For "of such is the kingdom of heaven." But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that heavenly home; I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. Used With Tune: LUKE
