Guide me, O thou great Jehovah

Author: William Williams, 1717-91; Peter Williams, 1722 - 96 Appears in 1,825 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty, Hold me with thy powerful hand; Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more, Feed me till I want no more. 2 Open now the crystal fountain Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through; Strong deliverer, Strong deliverer, Be thou still my strength and shield, Be thou still my strength and shield. A-men. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side; Songs of praises I will ever give to thee. Amen.

Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning

Author: Rev. Thomas Hastings, 1784-1872 Appears in 460 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning, Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain! Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning, Zion in triumph begins her mild reign. 2 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning, Long by the prophets of Israel foretold; Hail to the millions from bondage returning, Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, Streams ever copious are flowing along; Loud from the mountaintops echoes are ringing, Wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to the Saviour ascending on high; Fallen the weapons of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808 - 89 Appears in 1,228 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 'Come unto me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon my breast.' I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn, and sad; I found in him a resting place, And he has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 'Behold, I freely give The living water, thirsty one, Stoop down, and drink, and live.' I came to Jesus and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 'I am this dark world's light; Look unto me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright.' I looked to Jesus, and I found In him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till traveling days are done.

I think, when I read that sweet story of old

Author: Jemima Luke, 1813 - 1906 Appears in 855 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How he called 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 arm 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 now earnestly seek him below, I shall see him and hear him above. 4 In that beautiful place he is gone to prepare For all who are washed and forgiven; And many dear children are gathering 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 should like them to know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come. 6 I long for for the joy of that glorious time, The sweetest and brightest and best, When the dear little children of every clime Shall crowd to his arms and be blest.

Immortal Love, forever full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Appears in 305 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never-ebbing sea! 2 Our outward lips confess the Name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown: 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 5 The healing of his seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. 6 Through him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with his Name. 7 O Lord, and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thine.
