While life prolongs its precious light
"The evil hour"
Author: Michael Bruce Appears in 205 hymnals First Line: Where high the heavenly temple stands 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 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.
3 Our Father-sufferer yet retains
A fellow-feeling of our pains;
And still remembers, in the skies,
His tears, his agonies, and cries.
4 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.
5 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. Topics: Prayer and Invocation; Christ Priest; Close of Worship; God Forbearance; Intercession; Opening of Service; Prayer; Christ Priest; Close of Worship; God Forbearance; Intercession; Opening of Service; Prayer Used With Tune: OBERLIN
"The evil hour"
O Thou, My Soul, Forget No More
Author: Krishna Pal, 1764-1822; Joshua Marshman Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O thou, my soul, forget no more
The friend who all thy misery bore;
Let every idol be forgot,
But, O my soul, forget Him not.
2. Jesus for thou a body takes,
Thy guilt assumes, thy fetters breaks,
Discharging all thy dreadful debt;
And canst thou e’er such love forget?
3. Renounce thy works and ways, with grief,
And fly to this most sure relief;
Nor Him forget, who left His throne,
And for thy life gave up His own.
4. Infinite truth and mercy shine,
In Him, and He Himself is thine:
And canst thou, then, with sin beset,
Such charms, such matchless charms, forget?
5. Ah! no—till life itself depart,
His name shall cheer and warm my heart;
And lisping this, from earth I’ll rise;
And join the chorus of the skies.
6. Ah! no—when all things else expire,
And perish in the general fire,
This name all others shall survive,
And through eternity shall live. Used With Tune: OBERLIN (Bost)
