He leadeth me! oh, blessed tho't!
Author: Rev J. Henry Gilmore Hymnal: ELHW1908 #512b (1908) Lyrics: 1 He leadeth me! oh, blessed tho't!
Oh, words with heav'nly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, where'er I be,
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.
2 Sometimes 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's flowers bloom,
By waters calm, o'er troubled sea,
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me.
3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine.
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.
4 And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy grace, the victory's won,
E'ev death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me. Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Languages: English Tune Title: TALLIS' EVENING HYMN
He leadeth me! oh, blessed tho't!
Ten thousand times ten thousand
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: ELHW1908 #513 (1908) Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light:
'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made!
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand-fold repaid!
3 Oh, then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore!
What knitting severed friendships up,
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power and reign!
Appear, Desire of nations!
Thine exiles long for home,
Show in the heavens Thy promised sign!
Thou Prince and Savior, come! Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: ALFORD
Ten thousand times ten thousand
A few more years shall roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: ELHW1908 #514 (1908) Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest,
Asleep within the tomb:
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great day;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more:
3 'Tis but a little while
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with Him may reign.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away! Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Second Sunday of Advent Languages: English Tune Title: LEOMINSTER
A few more years shall roll
A pilgrim and a stranger
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: ELHW1908 #515 (1908) Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger,
I journeyed here below;
Far distant is my country,
The house to which I go.
Here I must toil and travail,
Oft weary and oppressed,
But there my God shall lead me
To everlasting rest.
2 There still my thoughts are dwelling,
'Tis there I long to be;
Come, Lord, and call Thy servant
To blessedness with Thee!
Come, bid my toils be ended,
Let all my wanderings cease;
Call from the wayside lodging
To the sweet home of peace!
3 There I shall dwell for ever,
No more a stranger guest,
With all Thy blood-bought children,
In everlasting rest:
The pilgrim toils forgotten,
The pilgrim conflicts o'er,
All earthly griefs behind us,
Eternal joys before! Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Contemplation of Death; Twenty Third Sunday after Trintiy Languages: English Tune Title: COMMIT THY WAY (Befiehl du deine Wege)
A pilgrim and a stranger
I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
Author: William Augustus Mühlenberg, D. D. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #516 (1908) Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway: I ask not to stay
Where storm after storm rises dark o'er our way;
The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here
Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer.
2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin,
Temptation without, and corruption within:
E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears,
And the cup of salvation with penitent tears.
3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb:
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom:
There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise
To hail Him in triumph descending the skies.
4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God?
Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode,
Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains,
And the noontide of glory eternally reigns;
5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet,
Their Saviour and brethren, transported, to greet:
While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll,
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul! Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: FREDERICK
