I Open Wide The Portals Of My Heart

Author: Anna Hoppe Hymnal: ALH1930 #203 (1930) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 I open wide the portals of my heart And bid Thee enter, precious Savior mine, O enter in, Thy riches to impart, Blest Son of God, Redeemer, Love divine. 2 Dwell Thou within and let me own Thee, Lord, To have Thee near is joy beyond compare; I feast upon the manna of Thy Word And taste the sweetness of Thy love in prayer. 3 If I have Thee, Lord Jesus, I have all: In trouble solace, courage when I fear; Strength when I faint and pardon when I fall; Rest when I'm weary, hope when death is near. 4 Thou art my sun when clouds encompass me, My health in sickness and my peace in strife; In Thee my fount of wealth and joy I see, My righteousness and my eternal life. 5 Immanuel, do Thou with me abide Till I am called to leave this house of clay; Then let my soul for aye be at Thy side And see the glory of an endless day. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Languages: English Tune Title: LANGFORD

Like Enoch, Let Me Ever Walk With Thee

Author: Anna Hoppe Hymnal: ALH1930 #207 (1930) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Like Enoch, let me ever walk with Thee; Let me, like Mary, kneel at Thy blest feet; Let me hold fast Thy truth like Timothy And keep the faith like Paul, all pure, complete. 2 Let me, like John, stay close to Thy dear heart; Like Andrew, at the Galilean lake; From kindred rather than from Thee depart: Let me like Peter bold confession make. 3 Like Stephen, grant me strength for foes to pray, And when for me life's eventide draws nigh, O may Thy angels carry me away To dwell forever, Lord, with Thee on high. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ; Processionals and Recessionals General Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS

Abide With Me: Fast Falls The Eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: ALH1930 #289 (1930) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me: fast falls the eventide, The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou Who changest not, abide with me! 3 I need Thy presence ev'ry passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies: Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Who thro' death have unto God ascended! Ye have arisen From the cares which keep us still in prison. 2 Christ has wiped away your tears forever; Ye have that for which we still endeavor; To you are chanted Songs that ne'er to mortal ears were granted. 3 Ah, who would, then, not depart with gladness, To inherit heav'n for earthly sadness? Who here would languish Longer in bewailing and in anguish? 4 Come, 0 Christ, and loose the chains that bind us, Lead us forth and cast this world behind us! With Thee, th'Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Topics: The Christian Life Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: BEATA

My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly! It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its fountain And quit this world of pain. 2 A moment's space and I shall surely be Released from earthly ties. God's chariot shall bear my soul to thee Thro' all these lower skies To yonder shining regions, Where blessed saints do roam, While fairest angel legions Now bid me welcome home. 3 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold Thy pearly gates to me. How many times I longed for thee of old Ere God had set me free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world that counts for naught, And given me the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 When I within that lovely Paradise At last shall safely dwell, What songs of bliss shall from my lips arise, What joy my tongue shall tell, While all the saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, And golden harps are ringing Around me evermore!

Open today are the portals of heav'n, Lift now in gladness your voices; For on this day of rejoicing Jesus ascended with glorious might; Sent us His Spirit with grace and light: Gladly His praise we are voicing. 2 Grant us, O Master, Thy wisdom and grace; Enter this Sunday our dwelling. Millions unnumbered from every race Happy Thy praises are swelling; We, too, would praise Thee with gladness. Freely Thy Spirit attends our need, Blessing Thy people in word and deed, Bringing rejoicing for sadness. 3 Lend us, O Savior, Thine high altar's fire As in Thy house we assemble. With Thine own presence our spirits inspire Till we in ecstasy tremble; Ever our joy be increasing. Easter and Whitsun from Christmas grew: Thus shall each Sunday our joy anew Spring from Thy mercy unceasing. 4 Quicken and strengthen Thy people today; Bless them, O Lord, at Thine altar. Speak to us, counsel us, Saviour, we pray, Sanction Thy Gospel and psalter. Yea, my we know by Thy Spirit: We are Thy people, to grace restored; Full of compassion art Thou, O Lord; We shall Thy glory inherit. Topics: Opening of Worship Languages: English Tune Title: ARA

I Live, And I Know The Span Of My Years

Author: P. C. Paulsen; B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: ALH1930 #239 (1930) Meter: 10.9.11.10.9 Lyrics: 1 I live, and I know the span of my years: I live until Jesus shall call me. I live as a guest in this valley of tears, I live till the beckoning hand appears And death can no longer appall me. 2 I die, and I know what hour it will be; I die at the hour of His pleasure. I die, and mine eyes my perfection shall see, I die, and my soul from its clay is free And soars to its heavenly treasure. 3 I journey and know just whither I'm bound: I'm bound for the kingdom of heaven. I go where the house of my Father is found, Where jubilant voices with praises sound And joys to His children are given. 4 I lead now a blessed life in my Lord, I die but to live with Him ever. I journey with faith in my Savior's word, I carry His helmet and Spirit's sword Until He my life-thread shall sever. Topics: The Christian Life Trust Languages: English Tune Title: VITA
