Speak thou the truth: let others fence
Author: Dean Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Conscience Clear Lyrics: 1 Speak thou the truth: let others fence,
And trim their words for pay;
In pleasant sunshine of pretence
Let others bask their day.
2 Show thou thy light: if conscience gleam,
Set not thy bushel down;
The smallest spark may send his beam
O'er hamlet, tower, and town.
3 Hold on, hold on thou hast the rock;
The foes are on the sand:
The first world-tempest's ruthless shock
Scatters their shifting strand;
4 While each wild gust the mist shall clear
We now see darkly through,
And justified at last appear
The true, in Him that's true. Used With Tune: FAITH
Speak thou the truth: let others fence
O happy home! where Thou art loved the dearest
Author: Mrs. E. J. Findlater, 1823-1886; C. J. P Spitta, 1801-1859 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Conscience Guilty Lyrics: 1 O happy home! where Thou art loved the dearest,
Thou loving Friend, and Saviour of our race;
And where among the guests there never cometh
One who can hold such high and honoured place.
2 O happy home! where two in heart united
In holy faith and blessed hope are one,
Whom death a little while alone divideth,
And cannot end the union here begun.
3 O happy home! whose little ones are given
Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer,
To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven
Guides them, and guards with more than mother's care.
4 O happy home! where each one serves Thee, lowly,
Whatever his appointed work may be,
Till every common task seems grea and holy,
When it is done, O Lord, as unto Thee.
5 O happy home! where Thou art not forgotten.
When joy is overflowing, full and free,
O happy home! where every wounded spirit
Is brought, Physician, Comforter, to Thee
6 Until at last, when earth's day's work is ended,
All meet Thee in the blessed home above,
From whence Thou camest, where Thou hast ascended,
Thy everlasting home of peace and love.
Used With Tune: ALVERSTOKE
O happy home! where Thou art loved the dearest
