Before Thy Footstool Kneeling
Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before Thy footstool kneeling,
To Thee, O Lord, we cry;
While for Thy gift of healing
We raise our voice on high:
Diseases and afflictions
Thy ready servants are;
Chastisement and corrections,
To quicken us in prayer.
2 We own our guilt and folly,
But Thou canst still forgive;
And Thou, most high and holy,
Canst bid the sick revive:
Though now cast down in sorrow,
In darkness and distress,
Joy may return tomorrow,
Through Thy restoring grace.
3 As suppliants now before Thee,
In Thy great name we plead;
Physician, we adore Thee,
And trembling ask Thine aid:
Before Thy footstool kneeling,
To Thee, to Thee we cry:
Send down Thy gift of healing
On Thee our souls rely. Used With Tune: CHENIES Text Sources: Spiritual Songs for Social Worship
Before Thy Footstool Kneeling
To Thee, In Youth's Bright Morning
Author: Robert G. Staples Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: To Thee, in youth’s bright morning Lyrics: 1 To Thee, in youth’s bright morning
Father of all, we pray;
While thought and fancy dawning,
Lead on the rising day;
To Thee, in life’s last even,
We’ll tune our feebler breath;
Hear all our sins forgiven,
And softly sleep in death.
2 When from death’s sleep we waken,
No fears shall us surprise;
All earthly things forsaken,
What joys shall meet our eyes!
With rapture then increasing,
For ever we’ll rejoice;
And praises never ceasing,
Shall wake each tuneful voice.
3 Though vine nor fig tree either
Its fruit or leaves should bear;
Though all the fields should wither,
Nor flocks nor herds be there;
Yet God, the same abiding,
His praise shall tune my voice;
For while in Him confiding,
I cannot but rejoice. Used With Tune: CHENIES
To Thee, In Youth's Bright Morning
In Homes Where Pride and Splendor
Author: Benjamin J. Radford, 1838-1933 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In homes where pride and splendor
Their silken banners flare,
In homes where childhood tender
Is crushed by every care,
Is heard the cry of anguish
From many a helpless slave,
Where Satan’s captives languish,
And only Christ can save.
2. What tho’ our flag in glory
Floats over freedom’s land,
While degradation’s story
Is writ on every hand,
While in the marts of labor,
In lordly halls of state,
The Christlike love of neighbor
Is lost in greed and hate?
3. Shall we, to whom is given
For sin the only cure,
Vouchsafed to earth by Heaven,
While nations shall endure;
Shall we, in this her trial,
Forget our nation’s weal,
Endure no self denial,
Be wanting in our zeal?
4. O God, whilst evil lowers
In clouds of sin and shame,
May these cold hearts of ours
Burst into living flame,
To light and lead our nation
In this her time of need,
Until in Christ’s salvation
She shall be free indeed. Used With Tune: CHENIES
In Homes Where Pride and Splendor
