O happy is the man who hears
Hymnal: Hymnal #222 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears
Religion’s warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice;
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
More precious are her bright rewards
Than gems, or stores of gold.
3 Her right hand offers to the just
Immortal happy days;
Her left, imperishable wealth
And heavenly crowns displays.
4 And as her holy labours rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Languages: English

What a strange and wondrous story
Hymnal: Hymnal #223 (1871) Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Lyrics: 1 What a strange and wondrous story
From the Book of God is read!--
How the Lord of life and glory
Had not where to lay His Head,--
2 How He left His Throne in Heaven,
Here to suffer, bleed, and die,
That my soul might be forgiven,
And ascend to God on high!
3 Father! let Thy Holy Spirit
Still reveal a Saviour's love,
And prepare me to inherit
Glory where He reigns above;
4 There, with saints and angels dwelling,
May I that great love proclaim,
And with them be ever telling
All the wonders of his name.

Jesu, meek and gentle
Hymnal: Hymnal #225 (1871) Meter: 6.5.6.5 Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Lyrics: 1 Jesu, meek and gentle,
Son of God Most High,
Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear Thy children's cry.
2 Pardon our offences,
Loose our captive chains,
Break down every idol
Which our soul detains.
3 Give us holy freedom
Fill our hearts with love;
Draw us, Holy Jesus,
To the realms above.
4 Lead us on our journey,
Be Thyself the Way
Through terrestrial darkness
To celestial day.
5 Jesu, meek and gentle,
Son of God Most high,
Pitying, loving Saviour,
Hear Thy children's cry. Languages: English

I think when I read that sweet story of old
Hymnal: Hymnal #226 (1871) Meter: Irregular Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,
How He call'd little children as lambs to His fold,
I should like to have been with them then.
2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head,
That His arms had been thrown around me,
And that I might have seen His kind look when He said,
"Let the little ones come unto me."
3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go,
And ask for a share in His love;
And if I thus earnestly seek Him below,
I shall see Him and hear Him above,
4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare
For all who are wash'd and forgiven;
And many dear children shall be with Him there,
"For of such is the kingdom of heaven."
5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall,
Never heard of that Heavenly Home;
I wish they could know there is room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to come. Languages: English

In the vineyard of our Father
Hymnal: Hymnal #227 (1871) Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Lyrics: 1 In the vineyard of our Father
Daily work we find to do;
Scatter'd gleanings we may gather,
Though we are but weak and few;
Little clusters
Help to fill the basket too.
2 Toiling early in the morning,
Catching moments through the day,
Nothing small or lowly scorning
While we work, and watch, and pray;
Gathering gladly
Free-will offerings by the way.
3 Not for selfish praise or glory,
Not for objects nothing worth,
But to send the blessèd story
Of the Gospel o'er the earth,
Telling mortals
Of our Lord and Saviour's birth.
4 Up and ever at our calling,
Till in death our lips are dumb,
Or till -- sin's dominion falling --
Christ shall in His kingdom come,
And His children
Reach their everlasting home.
5 Steadfast, then, in our endeavoru,
Heavenly Father, may we be;
And for ever, and for ever,
We will give the praise to Thee;
Hallelujah
Singing, all eternity. Languages: English

O write upon my memory, Lord
Hymnal: Hymnal #228 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Lyrics: 1 O write upon my memory, Lord,
The text and doctrine of Thy Word'
That I may break Thy laws no more,
But love Thee better than before.
2 With thoughts of Christ and things divine,
Fill up this sinful heart of mine;
That hoping pardon through His blood,
I may lie down and wake with God. Languages: English
O write upon my memory, Lord
When Jesus left His Father's throne
Hymnal: Hymnal #230 (1871) Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left His Father's throne,
He chose an humble birth;
Like us, unhonour'd and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
Like Him, may we be found below,
In Wisdom's paths of peace;
Like Him, in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
2 Sweet were His words, and kind His look,
When mothers round Him press'd;
Their infants in His arms He took,
And on His bosom bless'd.
Safe from the world's alluring harms,
Beneath His watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of His arms,
May we for ever lie.
3 When Jesus into Salem rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they pluck'd the palms, and strow'd
Their garments on the ground.
Hosanna, our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Saviour's praise,
The stones themselves would sing.
