Around the throne of God
Appears in 457 hymnals Topics: The Christian Graces First Line: Around the throne of God in heaven Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God in heaven
Thousands of children stand;
Children whose sins are all forgiven.
A holy, happy band,
Singing Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!
2 In flowing robes of spotless white,
See every one arrayed;
Dwelling in everlasting light
And joys that never fade,
Singing Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!
3 What brought them to that world above,
That heaven so bright and fair,
Where all is peace and joy and love?
How came those children there?
Singing Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!
4 Because the Saviour shed His blood
To wash away their sin:
Bathed in that pure and precious flood,
Behold them white and clean!
Singing Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!
5 On earth they sought the Saviour's grace,
On earth they loved His Name;
So now they see His blessed face,
And stand before the Lamb.
Singing Glory, Glory,
Glory be to God on high!
Around the throne of God
Gracious Spirit, Dove divine!
Appears in 483 hymnals Topics: The Christian Graces Lyrics: 1 Gracious Spirit, Dove divine!
Let Thy light within me shine;
All my guilty fears remove,
Fill me with Thy heavenly love.
2 Speak Thy pardoning grace to me,
Set the burdened sinner free;
Lead me to the Lamb of God,
Wash me in His precious blood.
3 Life and peace to me impart,
Seal salvation on my heart;
Breathe Thyself into my breast,
Earnest of immortal rest.
4 Let me never from Thee stray,
Keep me in the narrow way;
Fill my soul with joy divine,
Help me, Lord, forever Thine.
Gracious Spirit, Dove divine!
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: The Christian Graces Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high,
Would God I were in thee!
My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly!
It will not stay with me;
Far over vale and mountain,
Far over field and plain,
It hastes to seek its Fountain
And quit this world of pain.
2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour.
When wilt thou come at last?
When fearless to my Father's love and power,
Whose promise standeth fast,
My soul I gladly render,
For surely will His hand
Lead me with guidance tender
To heaven, my fatherland.
3 O Zion, hail! bright city, now unfold
The gates of grace to me;
How many a time I longed for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free
From yon dark life of sadness
Yon world of shadowy naught.
And God had given the gladness,
The heritage I sought.
4 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne
Their joyful anthems raise,
And th' heavenly halls re-echo with the tone
Of that great hymn of praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessed throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song.
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
My faith looks up to Thee
Appears in 2,207 hymnals Topics: The Christian Graces Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
2 May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my failing heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3 When life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Oh, bear me safe above,
A ransomed soul.
My faith looks up to Thee

Early let us do Thy will;
Blessed Lord and only Saviour,
With Thy love our bosom fill.

Saviour, like a shepherd lead us
Faith, Hope, and Charity
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Christian graces Lyrics:
Faith, Hope, and Charity,--these three,
Yet is the greatest Charity!
Father of lights, those gifts impart
To mine and every human heart:--
Faith, that in prayer can never fail,
Hope, that o'er doubting must prevail,
And Charity, whose name above
Is God's own name, for "God is love."
The morning star is lost in light,
Faith vanishes at perfect sight;
The rainbow passes with the storm,
And Hope with sorrow's fading form:--
But Charity, serene, sublime,
Beyond the range of death and time,
Like the blue sky's all-bounding space,
Holds heaven and earth in its embrace.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:13
Faith, Hope, and Charity
Jesus, my strength, my hope

Jesus, my strength, my hope
As pants the hart for cooling springs
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling springs,
So longs my soul, O King of kings,
Thy face in near approach to see,
So thirsts, great Source of Life, for Thee.
2 With ardent zeal, with strong desires,
To Thee, to Thee my soul aspires;
When shall I reach thy blest abode?
When meet the presence of my God?
3 God of my strength, attend my cry,
Say why, my great Preserver, why
Excluded from thy sight I go,
And bend beneath a weight of wo?
4 Why thus, my soul, with care opprest?
And whence the woes that fill my breast?
In all thy cares, in all thy woes,
On God thy steadfast hope repose.
5 To Him my thanks shall still be paid,
My sure defence, my constant aid;
His name my zeal shall ever raise,
And dictate to my lips his praise. Scripture: Psalm 42:1
As pants the hart for cooling springs
O that my load of sin were gone
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 O that my load of sin were gone,
O that I could at last submit,
At Jesus' feet to lay it down!
To lay my soul at Jesus' feet!
2 Rest for my soul I long to find:
Saviour, if mine indeed thou art,
Give me thy meek and lowly mind,
And stamp thine image on my heart.
3 Break off the yoke of inbred sin,
And fully set my spirit free;
I cannot rest till pure within,
Till I am wholly lost in thee.
4 Fain would I learn of thee, my God,
Thy light and easy burden prove,
The cross, all stain'd with hallow'd blood,
The labour of thy dying love.
5 I would; but thou must give the power;
My heart from every sin release;
Bring near, bring near the joyful hour,
And fill me with thy perfect peace.
6 Come, Lord, the drooping sinner cheer,
Nor let thy chariot wheels delay;
Appear in my poor heart, appear;
My God, my Saviour, come away!
O that my load of sin were gone
My God! permit me not to be
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 343 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Sanctification and christian graces Lyrics: 1 My God! permit me not to be
A stranger to myself and thee;
Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove,
Forgetful of my highest love.
2 Why should my passions mix with earth,
And thus debase my heav'nly birth?
Why should I cleave to things below,
And let my God, my Father, go?
3 Call me away from flesh and sense;
Thy gracious word can draw me thence.
I would obey the voice divine,
And all inferior joys resign.
4 Be earth, with all her cares, withdrawn;
Let noise and vanity be gone;
In secret silence of the mind,
My heav'n, and there my God, I find.
My God! permit me not to be
