O Unity of Threefold Light
Oh, For a Faith That will not Shrink
Author: William Hiley Bathurst, 1796-1877 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 721 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, for a faith that will not shrink,
Though prest by many a foe;
That will not tremble on the brink
Of poverty or woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod;
But in the hour of grief or pain
Can lean upon its God.
3 A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt:
4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That sin's wild ocean cannot drown,
Nor Satan’s arts beguile:
5 A faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life’s last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then whate’er may come,
We’ll taste e’en here the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home.
Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Used With Tune: LAMBETH
Oh, For a Faith That will not Shrink
The Son of God goes forth to war
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 855 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood red banner streams afar;
Who follows in His train?
2 Who best can drink his cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain;
Who patient, bears his cross below,
He follows in His train.
3 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave;
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And call'd on Him to save.
4 Like Him, with pardon on his tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong:
Who follows in His train.
5 A glorious band, the chosen few,
On whom the spirit came:
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mock'd the cross and flame.
6 They met the tyrant's brandish'd steel,
The lion's gory mane,
They bow'd their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?
7 A noble army--men and boys,
The matron and the maid;
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light array'd.
8 They climb'd the steep ascent to heaven
Through peril, toil and pain;
O God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train.
Amen. Topics: Apostles and Saints; Festivals Used With Tune: LAMBETH

Lord, who has made me
With Thine Own Pity
Author: Ray Palmer, d. 1887 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: With Thine own pity, Savior, see Lyrics: 1 With Thine own pity, Savior, see
The thronged and darkening way!
We go to win the lost to Thee,
O help us, Lord, we pray!
2 Thou bidd'st us go with Thee to stand
Against hell’s marshalled powers;
And heart to heart, and hand to hand,
To make Thine honor ours.
3 Teach Thou our lips of Thee to speak,
Of Thy great love to tell;
Till they who wander far shall seek
And find and serve Thee well.
4 O’er all the world Thy Spirit send,
And make Thy goodness known,
Till earth and heaven together blend
Their praises at Thy throne.
Amen. Used With Tune: LAMBETH
With Thine Own Pity
Dear Lord, Thy Word Of Truth Affords
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Dear Lord, Thy word of truth affords Lyrics:
1 Dear Lord, Thy word of truth affords
A balm for every wound;
Hence all our hopes of bliss arise,
And here our peace is found.
2 The tree of life, beneath whose shade
The weary pilgrim sits;
And there regaling on its fruits,
With sweet refreshment meets.
3 The sure foundation of our faith,
And source of all our joy,
May it our warmest thoughts engage,
Our inmost souls employ.
4 But not on us alone bestow,
These records of Thy love,
Let distant lands Thy truth receive,
And all its blessings prove.

A Bygone Year
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: A year, another year is fled Lyrics:
1 A year, another year is fled;
Its issues who can tell?
Millions of voices of the dead
Reply from Heav’n or hell.
2 All these were living at the birth
Of the departed year;
They all have vanished from the earth,
We fill their places here.
3 Though to the eye, the ear, the mind
Of man their speech is sealed,
Th’eternal meaning each may find,
In two plain words revealed.
4 Lost spirits, from the dark abyss,
Cry mournfully "Beware!"
Spirits in glory, and in bliss,
Sing joyfully "Prepare!"
5 Thus timely warned, and moved with fear,
Of wrath, let us beware;
For life or death, in this new year,
For earth and Heav’n prepare.
6 Who then of those with us, this day
In childhood, youth, or age,
"To love the Lord our God" can say
"We all our hearts engage."
