Eternal Source of Every Joy

Author: Phillip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 372 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Source of every joy, Well may Thy praise our lips employ, While in Thy temple we appear, Whose goodness crowns the circling year. 2 Seasons, and months, and weeks, and days, Demand successive songs of praise; Still be the cheerful homage paid With opening light and evening shade. 3 Here in Thy house shall incense rise, And circling Sabbaths bless our eyes. Still will we make Thy mercies known Around Thy board, and round our own. 4 O may our more harmonious tongue In worlds unknown pursue the song. And in those brighter courts adore, Where days and years revolve no more! AMEN. Topics: God's Providential Care Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

Go, labor on; spend and be spent, Thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went; Should not the servant tread it still? 2. Go, labor on; 'tis not for naught; Thine earthly loss is heav'nly gain: Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not: The Master praises, what are men? 3. Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice; For toil comes rest; for exile, home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal: "Behold, I come!"

Author: William Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest are the moments, doubly blest, That drawn from this one hour of rest, Are with a ready heart bestowed Upon the service of our God! 2 Each field is then a hallowed spot, An altar is in each man's cot, A church in every grove that spreads Its living roof above our heads. 3 Look up to heaven, the industrious sun Already half his race hath run: He cannot halt or go astray, But our immortal spirits may. 4 Lord, since his rising in the east, If we have faltered or transgressed, Guide, from Thy love's abundant source, What yet remains of this day's course; 5 Help with Thy grace, through life's short day, Our upward and our downward way; And glorify for us the west, When we shall sink to final rest. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Noon Used With Tune: WAREHAM

Author: Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne, Where Thy redeemed behold Thy face; Enter this temple, now Thine own, And let Thy glory fill the place. 2 We praise Thee that today we see Its sacred walls before Thee stand; 'Tis Thine for us, 'tis ours for Thee; Reared by Thy kind, assisting hand. 3 Oft as returns the day of rest, Let heartfelt worship here ascend; With Thine own joy fill ev'ry breast, With Thine own pow'r Thy Word attend. 4 Here in the dark and sorr'wing day Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still. Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away And give new strength to meet Thy will! 5 Here in baptismal water pure We find for sin a gracious cure; Our children here to Thee we bring To be Thine heirs, O heavenly King. 6 When at Thine altar we shall meet And keep the feast of dying love, Be our communion ever sweet With Thee and with Thy Church above. 7 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep; In Thine own arms the lambs enfold, Give help to climb the heavenward steep Till Thy full glory we behold.

When, doomed to death, the Apostle lay

Author: W. C. Bryant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: When, doomed to death, th'Apostle lay Lyrics: 1 When, doomed to death, th'Apostle lay At night in Herod's dungeon cell, A light shone round him like the day, And from his limbs the fetters fell. 2 A messenger from God was there, To break his chain and bid him rise; And lo! the saint, as free as air, Walked forth beneath the open skies. 3 Chains yet more strong and cruel bind The victim of that deadly thirst Which drowns the soul, and from the mind Blots the bright image stamped at first. 4 O God of love and mercy, deign To look on those with pitying eye Who struggle with that fatal chain, And send them succor from on high! 5 Send down, in its resistless might, Thy gracious Spirit, we implore, And lead the captive forth to light, A rescued soul, a slave no more! Amen. Topics: Temperance; Temperance Used With Tune: [When doomed to death th'Apostle lay]

Shall I, for Fear of Feeble Man

Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Shall I, for fear of feeble man. The Spirit's course in me restrain? Or undismayed in deed and word Be a true witness for the Lord? Awed by a mortal's frown, shall I Conceal the word of God most high? How then before Thee shall I dare To stand, or how Thine anger bear? 2. Shall I, to soothe th' unholy throng, Soften Thy truths and smooth my tongue, To gain earth's gilded toys or flee The cross, my God, endured by Thee? What, then, is he whose scorn I dread, Whose wrath or hate makes me afraid? A man - an heir of death - a slave To sin - a bubble on the wave. 3. Yea, let men rage, since Thou wilt spread Thy shadowy wings around my head, Since in all pain, Thy tender love. Will still my sure refreshment prove. Savior of men, Thy searching eye Doth all my inmost thoughts descry; Doth aught on earth my wishes raise, The world's vain pleasures, or its praise? 4. The love of Christ doth me constrain To seek the wand'ring souls of men; With cries, entreaties, tears to save, To snatch them from the gaping grave. For this let men revile my name, No cross I shun, I fear no shame- All hail reproach! and welcome pain! Thy terrors only Lord, restrain. 5. My life, my blood, I here present, If for Thy truth they may be spent; Fulfil Thy sov'reign counsel, Lord; Thy will be done, Thy name adored Give of Thy strength, O God of pow'r Then let winds blow, or thunders roar, Thy faithful witness will I be: 'Tis fixed- I can do all through Thee.
