From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.

Hope of all the earth thou art,
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
3 Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a king,
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.

O thou who gavest power to love
Behold us, Lord, a little space
Author: J. Ellerton, 1826-1893 Appears in 123 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord a little space
From daily tasks set free,
And met within Thy holy place
To rest awhile with Thee.
2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide
Of business, toil, and care,
And scarcely can we turn aside
For one brief hour of prayer.
3 Yet these are not the only walls
Wherein Thou mayst be sought;
On homeliest work Thy blessing falls
In truth and patience wrought.
4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart,
The wealth of land and sea;
The worlds of science and of art,
Revealed and ruled by Thee.
5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth
In all we do and know;
And claim the kingdom of the earth
For Thee, and not Thy foe.
6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought
As Thou wouldst have it done;
And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught,
Itself with work be one. Used With Tune: BEDFORD
Behold us, Lord, a little space
Brother, hast thou wandered far
Author: Dr. J. F. Clarke, 1810- Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 Brother, hast thou wandered far
From thy Father's happy home,
With thyself and God at war?
Turn thee, brother; homeward come.
2 Hast thou wasted all the powers
God for noble uses gave?
Squandered life's most golden hours?
Turn thee, brother; God can save.
3 Is a mighty famine now
In thy heart and in thy soul?
Discontent upon thy brow?
Turn thee; God will make thee whole.
4 He can heal thy bitterest wound,
He thy gentlest prayer can hear;
Seek Him, for He may be found;
Call upon Him; He is near.
Used With Tune: PLEYEL'S HYMN

Courage, brother! do not stumble
Author: Dr. Norman Macleod, 1812-1872 Appears in 182 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Courage, brother! do not stumble,
Though thy path be dark as night;
There's a star to guide the humble
"Trust in God, and do the right."
Let the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely! strong or weary,
Trust in God, and do the right.
2 Perish policy and cunning!
Perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God, and do the right.
Trust no party, sect, or faction;
Trust no leaders in the fight;
But in every word and action
Trust in God, and do the right.
3 Trust no lovely forms of passion
Fiends may look like angels bright;
Trust no custom, school or fashion;
Trust in God, and do the right.
Some will hate thee, some will love thee,
Some will flatter, some will slight:
Cease from man, and look above thee
Trust in God, and do the right.
4 Simple rule, and safest guiding,
Inward peace, and inward might,
Star upon our path abiding
"Trust in God, and do the right."
Courage, brother! do not stumble,
Though my path be dark as night;
There's a star to guide the humble
"Trust in God, and do the right." Used With Tune: COURAGE, BROTHER
Courage, brother! do not stumble

By Thy great might.

To God above the skies;
On Him we wait;

But be God's mercies shown
From shore to shore;
And may the nations see
That men should brothers be,
And form one family
The wide world o'er.

Cheered by no celestial ray,
Sun of Righteousness, arising,
Bring the bright, the glorious day!
Send the gospel
To the earth's remotest bound.

Grant them, Lord, the glorious light;
And, from eastern coast to western
May the morning chase the night;
And redemption,
Freely purchased, win the day.

Win and conquer, never cease;
May thy lasting, wide dominion
Multiply and still increase:
Sway Thy sceptre,
Saviour, all the world around. Used With Tune: ADVENT

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 540 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Maker, asks you why:
God, who did your being give,
Made you with Himself to live;
He the fatal cause demands,
Asks the work of His own hands,
Why, ye thankless creatures, why,
Will ye cross His love, and die?
2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, your Saviour, asks you why:
God, who did your souls retrieve,
Died Himself, that ye might live;
Will you let Him die in vain?
Crucify your Lord again?
Why, ye ransomed sinners, why
Will ye slight His grace, and die?
3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die?
God, the Spirit, asks you why:
He who all your lives hath strove,
Wooed you to embrace His love;
Will you not His grace receive?
Will you still refuse to live?
Why, ye long-sought sinners, why
Will ye grieve your God, and die? Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
Sinner, turn, why will ye die?
The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended
Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Appears in 294 hymnals Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evening Lyrics: 1 The day Thou gavest, Lord is ended,
The darkness falls at Thy behest;
To thee our morning hymns ascended,
Thy praise shall sanctify our rest.
2 We thank Thee that Thy Church unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
The dawn leads on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor dies the strain of praise away
4 The sun, that bids us rest, is waking
Our brethren 'neath the western sky,
And hour by hour fresh lips are making
Thy wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord! Thy throne shall never,
Like earth's proud empires, pass away;
Thy Kingdom stands, and grows for ever,
Till all Thy creatures own Thy sway. Used With Tune: ST. CLEMENT
The day Thou gavest, Lord, is ended
