Where the Lord reveals His presence
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Penitence and Love Lyrics:
I
Where the Lord reveals His presence,
Glory lights the sacred place,
And the soul in adoration
Falls before the throne of grace.
II
Seraphim, and saints in wonder,
Lift their songs where Christ is set,
And employ, in sacred homage,
Harp, and palm, and coronet.
III
Light of lights, no light approacheth,—
Sun, nor moon, nor stars of night,
Flood the noon-tide and the darkness
With such radiance of delight.
IV
Beauty of the King Immortal!
Ere we rise to where Thou art,
Let the glory of Thy presence
Chase the darkness from our heart.
Where the Lord reveals His presence
O God, not only in distress
Author: Frederic Smith, 1849-1914 Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Penitence and Faith Used With Tune: WIMBLEDON
O God, not only in distress
O Love of God, surpassing far
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Penitence and Love Lyrics:
I
O Love of God, surpassing far
The loves that human hearts unite,
Far from our ken as yonder star
That sheds its radiance on the night;
II
High as the heavens, and deep as hell,
Broad as the world’s infinite need,—
None but the Christ that love can tell,
And none its winning power impede.
III
Glory to God! that love exprest
Came in the gift our need required,
And in the Christ our lives are blest,
And by His love are souls inspired.
IV
And from the manger to the cross,
And at the noon-day and the night,
He bore the burden of our loss,
Nor shunned the anguish and despite.
V
And ’twas the love of God He showed,
When, crowned with shame, He meekly died;—
No gifts by bleeding love bestowed,
So great as Jesus crucified.
O Love of God, surpassing far
O Jesus, when my guilty fears
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Penitence and Love Lyrics:
I
O Jesus, when my guilty fears
My wakened soul distress,
And Judgment for the past appears
In all its awfulness,—
Bid gathering clouds asunder roll,
And shed Thy sunshine in my soul.
II
When from their long-forgotten grave
My guilty deeds arise,
And terror proves me yet the slave
My soul would fain despise,—
From stings of memory heal my soul,
And free me from sin’s dire control.
III
O Lord, in Whom my hope is set,
I look in faith to Thee;
From sin, and guilt, and sad regret,
My soul in mercy free;—
For, in that mercy, Lord, I trust,
And lie, repenting, in the dust.
O Jesus, when my guilty fears
Jesus and can it ever be

Before the day draws near its ending
Author: Rev. John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Penitence and Confession Lyrics: 1 Before the day draws near its ending,
And evening steals o'er earth and sky,
Once more to Thee our hymns ascending
Shall speak Thy praises, Lord Most High.
2 O Light all clear, O Truth most holy,
O boundless Mercy pardoning all,
Before Thy feet, abashed and lowly,
With one last prayer Thy children fall.
3 When we no more on earth adore Thee,
And others worship here in turn,
O may we sing that song before Thee,
Which none but Thy redeemed can learn.
Amen. Used With Tune: SUNSET
Before the day draws near its ending
Burdened with a heavy load
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.8.7.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Penitence and Love Lyrics:
I
Burdened with a heavy load,
Lord, we come, for Thou art calling;
Rough and toilsome is the road,
And the night around is falling.
II
Sin, the burden that we bear,
Fills us with a dread to meet Thee;
Yet, we yield not to despair,
But for mercy would entreat Thee.
III
From the cross a glorious light
Falls upon our path to cheer us;
And a hope on pinions bright
Hovers, in the darkness, near us.
IV
For the sake of Him Who bore
All the sin, we come lamenting,
Let Thy pardon now restore
Sinners, at Thy feet, repenting.
Burdened with a heavy load
Lord of a countless throng
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Penitence and Love Lyrics:
I
Lord of a countless throng,
Fair as the stars of night,
Won from the thrall of cruel wrong
Back to the good and right;
Thine is the praise they sing,
Lord of their souls, and King.
II
Thine was the love that sought
Far as their wanderings led;
Thine was the wondrous grace that brought
Life to the faint and dead;
Pardon for all the past,
Peace that shall endless last.
III
Lord of a countless throng
Sworn to be faithful aye,
When, in the power that makes them strong,
They stand in evil day;
Make us by grace, we pray,
Loyal and brave as they.
Lord of a countless throng
