Come, my soul, awake, 'tis morning

Author: V. Canitz, d. 1699 Hymnal: CBE #162 (1863) Scripture: Psalm 38 Lyrics: Come, my soul, awake, 't is morning, Day is dawning O'er the earth, arise and pray; Come, to Hime who made this splendour Thou must render All thy feeble pow'rs can pay. Soul, thy incense also proffer; Thou shouldst offer Praise to Him, who from thy head Kept afar the storms of sorrow, And the morrow Finds the night in peace hath fled. Bid Him bless what thou art doing, If pursuing Some good aim; but if there lurks Ill intent in thine endeavour, May He ever Thwart and turn thee from thy works. From God's glances shrink thou never, Meet them ever; Who submits him to His grace, Finds that earth no sunshine knoweth Such as gloweth O'er his pathway all his days. Wakenest thou again to sorrow, Oh! then borrow Strength from Him, whose sun-like might On the mountain-summit tarries, And yet carries To the vales their mirth and light. Pray that when thy life is closing, Calm reposing Thou mayst die, and not in pain; That, the night of death departed, Thou, glad-bearted, Mayst behold the Sun again. Languages: English

When the Lord recalls the banish'd

Author: S. G. Bürde Hymnal: CBE #199 (1863) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 42 Lyrics: When the Lord recalls the banish'd, Frees the captives all at last, Every sorrow will have vanish'd Like a dream when night is past; Then shall all our hearts rejoice, And with glad resounding voice We shall praise the Lord who sought us, For the freedom He hath wrought us. Lift Thy hand to aid us, Father, Look an us who widely roam, And Thy scatter'd children gather ln their long'd-for promised home; Steep and weary is the way, Shorten Thou the sultry day; Faithful warriors hast Thou found us, Let Thy peace for aye surround us. In that peace we reap in gladness What was sown in tearful showers: There the fruit of all our sadness Ripens,--there the palm is ours; There our God upon His throne Is our full reward alone; They who all for God surrender Bring their sheaves in heavenly splendour.

When in the hour of utmost need

Author: Paul Eber Hymnal: CBE #141 (1863) Scripture: Psalm 140 Lyrics: When in the hour of utmost need We know not where to look for aid, When days and nights of anxious thought Nor help nor counsel yet have brought,-- Then this our comfort is alone, That we may meet before Thy throne, And cry, O faithful God, to Thee For rescue from our misery: To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes, Repenting sore with bitter sighs, And seek Thy pardon for our sin, And respite from our griefs within: For Thou hast promised graciously To hear all those who cry to Thee, Through Him whose Name alone is great, Our Saviour and our Advocate. And thus we come, O God, to-day, And all our woes before Thee lay, For tried, forsaken, lo! we stand, Perils and foes on every hand. Ah! hide not for our sins Thy face, Absolve us through Thy boundless grace, Be with us in our anguish still, Free us at last from every ill, That so with all our hearts we may Once more our glad thanksgivings pay, And walk obedient to Thy word, And now and ever praise the Lord.

I praise Thee, O my God and Father

Author: Mentzer Hymnal: CBE #6 (1863) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Scripture: Luke 1:26-47 Lyrics: I praise Thee, O my God and Father, For all I am and all I have, The blessings that we daily gather, Ev'n from our cradle to our grave; For Thy rich grace hath scatter'd here Whate'er we need to help and cheer. I praise Thee, Saviour, whose compassion Hath brought Thee down to succour me; Thy pitying heart sought my salvation, Though keenest woes were heaped on Thee, Wrought me from bondage full release, Made me Thine own, and gave me peace. Thee too I praise, O Holy Spirit, By whose deep teachings I am made A heavenly kingdom to inherit, Who art my Comforter, my aid; Whate'er of good by me is done Is of Thy grace and light alone. And as my life is onward gliding, With each fresh scene anew I mark How Thou art holding me and guiding, Where all seems troubled, strange, and dark; When cares oppress and hopes depart, Thy light hath never failed my heart. Shall I not then be filled with gladness, Shall I not praise Thee evermore? And triumph o'er all fears and sadness, E'en when my cup of woe runs o'er? Though heaven and earth may pass away, I know Thy word stands fast for aye. Languages: English

Spread, oh spread, thou mighty Word

Author: Bahnmaier Hymnal: CBE #176 (1863) Scripture: Galatians 2:20 Lyrics: Spread, oh spread, thou mighty Word, Spread the kingdom of the Lord, Wheresoe'er His breath has given Life to beings meant for heaven. Tell them how the Father's will Made the world, and keeps it still, How He sent His Son to save All who help and comfort crave. Tell of our Redeemer's love, Who for ever doth remove By His holy sacrifice, All the guilt that on us lies. Tell them of the Spirit given Now, to guide us up to heaven, Strong and holy, just and true, Working both to will and do. Word of Life! most pure and strong, Lo! for Thee the nations long; Spread, till from its dreary night All the world awakes to light. Up, the ripening fields ye see, Mighty shall the harvest be, But the reapers still are few, Great the work they have to do. Lord of harvest, let there be Joy and strength to work for Thee, Till the nations far and near See Thy Light, and learn Thy fear. Languages: English
