O Love! O Life! Our faith and sight

Author: J. G. Whittier, 1807-1892 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #67 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Love! O Life! Our faith and sight Thy presence maketh one; As through transfigured clouds of white We trace the noonday sun. 2 So to our mortal eyes subdued, Flesh-veiled, but not concealed, We know in Thee the fatherhood And heart of God revealed. 3 We faintly, hear, we dimly see, In differing phrase we pray; But, dim or clear, we own in Thee The Light, the Truth, the Way! 4 Apart from Thee all gain is loss, All labour vainly done; The solemn shadow of Thy cross Is better than the sun. 5 Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord, What may Thy service be? Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word, But simply following Thee.

O Christ, Thine eyes of light and love

Author: Bp. M. R. Neligan Hymnal: MHTB1917 #68 (1917) Lyrics: 1 O Christ, Thine eyes of light and love With Christians always go, Alike on earth's green fields above And in the caves below. 2 Thou with the miner in the dark Dost down the shaft descend; Thou, while he plies his venturous work, Art with him as his Friend. 3 No midnight gloom shuts out Thy face, No silence stills Thy voice; Our Jesus in the dreariest place Makes faithful souls rejoice. 4 Then hear us, Lord, and always bless Our brethren's toil and ours; From danger shield us, and distress, From sin and Satan's powers. 5 Add strength and skill to venturous limbs; Our homes with plenty cheer; And bid our hearts sing gladsome hymns For joy that thou art near. 6 Then by Thy cross and sovereign grace Exalt us, Lord, at last, To wake and see Thy unveiled face, Where darkness all is past.

Behold the Saviour of mankind

Author: S. Wesley, Sr., 1662-1735 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #69 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree! How vast the love that Him inclined To bleed and die for thee! 2 Hark, how He groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend; The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid; "Receive my soul," He cries! See where He bows His sacred head; He bows His head, and dies. 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like Thine?

From the best bliss that earth imparts, We turn unfilled to Thee again. 2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood; Thou savest those that on Thee call; To them that seek Thee, Thou art good; To them that find Thee, all in all. 3 We taste Thee, O Thou Living Bread! And long to feast upon Thee still; We drink of Thee, the Fountainhead, And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee, Where'er our changeful lot is cast; Glad, when Thy gracious smile we see; Blest, when our faith can hold Thee fast. 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay! Make all our moments calm and bright; Chase the dark night of sin away, Shed o'er the world Thy holy light!

When I survey the wondrous cross

Author: Dr. Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #71 (1917) Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. 3 See from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down; Did e'er such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown! 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were an offering far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Fully absolved through these I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 The holy, meek, unspotted Lamb, Who from the Father's bosom came, Who died for me, even me, to atone, Now for my Lord and God I own. 4 Lord, I believe Thy precious blood, Which, at the mercy-seat of God, For ever doth for sinners plead, For me, even for my soul, was shed. 5 Lord, I believe, were sinners more Than sands upon the ocean shore, Thou hast for all a ransom paid, For all a full atonement made. 6 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, Even then, this shall be all my plea, Jesus hath lived, hath died for me.

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #73 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The guardian of mankind appears. 2 He who for men their surety stood, And poured on earth His precious blood, Pursues in heaven His mighty plan, The Saviour and the Friend of man. 3 Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother's eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers in the skies His tears, His agonies and cries. 5 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aid of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour.

Jesus, and shall it ever be

Author: Joseph Grigg, 1728 (?)-1768 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #74 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of Thee! Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days! 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star. He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon. 'Tis midnight with my soul till He, Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His name. 5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may, When I've no guilt to wash away; No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save 6 Till then--nor is my boasting vain-- Till then, I boast a Saviour slain; And oh! may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me!

Jesus, my Saviour, Brother, Friend

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #75 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour, Brother, Friend, On whom I cast my every care, On whom for all things I depend, Inspire, and then accept, my prayer. 2 If I have tasted of Thy grace, The grace that sure salvation brings, If with me now Thy Spirit stays, And hovering hides me in His wings, 3 Still let Him with my weakness stay, Nor for a moment's space depart; Evil and danger turn away, And keep till He renews my heart. 4 When to the right or left I stray, His voice behind me may I hear, "Return, and walk in Christ, thy way; Fly back to Christ; for sin is near." 5 His sacred unction from above Be still my comforter and guide; Till all the hardness He remove, And in my loving heart reside. 6 Jesus, I fain would walk in Thee, From nature's every path retreat; Thou art my Way, my Leader be, And set upon the rock my feet. 7. Uphold me, Saviour, or I fall; O reach me out Thy gracious hand! Only on Thee for help I call, Only by faith in Thee I stand.

The winged squadrons of the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see the approaching Sacrifice. 4 Ride on! ride on in majesty! Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh.
