Thus far the Lord has led me on

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 660 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Evening Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord hath led me on, Thus far His pow'r prolongs my days; And every ev'ning shall make known Some fresh memorial of His grace. 2 Much of my time has run to waste, And I, perhaps, am near my home; But He forgives my follies past, And strength supplies for days to come. 3 I lay my body down to sleep; Peace is the pillow of my head: His ever watchful eye will keep Its constant guard around my bed. 4 Faith in Thy name forbids my fear; O may Thy presence ne’er depart! And in the morning may I bear Thy loving-kindness on my heart! Used With Tune: HEBRON

Lord, cause Thy face on us to shine

Author: Thomas Cotterill Appears in 23 hymnals Topics: The Catechism The Ministry Lyrics: 1 Lord, cause Thy face on us to shine, Give us Thy peace, and seal us Thine; Teach us to prize the means of grace, And love Thine earthly dwelling-place. 2 On is our faith, and one our Lord; One body, Spirit, hope, reward: May we in one communion be One with each other, one with Thee. 3 Bless all whose voice salvation brings, Who minister in holy things; Our pastors, elders, deacons, bless; Cloth them with zeal and righteousness: 4 Let many in the judgment day, Turned from the error of their way, Their hope, their joy, their crown appear:-- Save those who preach, and those who hear.

My faith looks up to Thee

Ray Palmer Appears in 2,265 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Faith Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Savior Divine: Now hear me while I pray, Take all my guilt away, O let me from this day Be wholly Thine! 2 May Thy rich grace impart strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While 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 Savior, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul!

There is an eye that never sleeps

Author: James Cowden Wallace Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Prayer Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts, When sink the beams of light. 2 There is an arm that never tires, When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails, When earthly love decays. 3 That eye is fixed on seraph throngs; That arm upholds the sky; That ear is filled with angel songs; That love is throned on high. 4 But there's a power that man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That listening ear to gain. 5 That power is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne, And moves the hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down.

It came upon the midnight clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 904 hymnals Topics: Catechism Lyrics: It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: Peace on the earth, good-will to men, From heaven's all-gracious King; The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. Still through the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world: Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing, And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. O ye, beneath life's crushing load, Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow! Look now, for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, And hear the angels sing. For lo! the days are hastening on, By prophets seen of old, When with the evercircling years, Shall come the time foretold, When the new heaven and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song Which now the angels sing.

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 958 hymnals Topics: Catechism Lyrics: Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day his sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow me." As of old, Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store; From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love me more." In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, "That we love him more than these." 248 Jesus calls us: by thy mercies, Savior, make us hear thy call, Give our hearts to thine obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Amen. Used With Tune: GALILEE

Ye men and angels, witness now

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 232 hymnals Topics: The Catechism Confirmation Lyrics: 1 Ye men and angels, witness now, Before the Lord we speak; To Him we make our solemn vow, A vow we may not break: 2 That long as life itself shall last, Ourselves to Christ we'll yield; Nor from His cause will we depart, Or ever quit the field. 3 We trust not in our unaided strength, But on His grace rely; May He, with our returning wants, All needful help supply. 4 Lord guide our doubtful feet aright, And keep us in Thy ways; And while we turn our vows to prayers, Turn Thou our prayers to praise. Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

I come! 3 Just as I am, though tossed about, With many a conflict, many a doubt, Dread fears within, and strife without, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! 4 Just as I am poor, wretched, blind; Sight, riches, healing of the mind, Yea, all I want— Thee to find— O Lamb of God, I come! I come! 5 Just as I am-- Thou wilt receive, Wilt, pardon, comfort, cleanse, relieve. Because Thy promise I believe,-- O Lamb of God, I come! I come! 6 Just as I am, for love unknown Hath broken every barrier down, Now to be Thine, and Thine alone, O Lamb of God, I come! I come! Used With Tune: WOODWORTH
