Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: CCHS1916 #172 (1918) Person Name: Sarah F. Adams Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E’en tho' it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Though, like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3 There let the way appear Steps unto heav'n; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs, Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 5 Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I'll fly. Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God to Thee, Nearer to Thee. Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Hope Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY

Ten Thousand Times ten Thousand

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: CCHS1916 #177 (1918) Person Name: Henry Alford Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished! all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of halleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joys shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home: Show in the heavens Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come!

Forward! be our Watchword

Author: H. Alford Hymnal: CCHS1916 #220 (1918) Person Name: H. Alford Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watch-word, Steps and voices join'd; Seek the things before us, Not a look behind. Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward thro' the desert, Thro' the toil and fight! Jordan flows before us; Zion beams with light. 2 Forward, when in childhood Buds the infant mind; All thro' youth and man-hood, Not a tho't behind. Speed thro' realms of nature, Climb the steps of grace; Faint not, till in glory Gleams our Father’s face. Forward, all the lifetime, Climb from height to height, Till the head be hoary, Till the eve be light. 3 Glories upon glories Hath our God prepar'd, By the souls that love Him One day to be shar'd. Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these have utter'd Thought or speech a word. Forward, marching east-ward, Where the heav'n is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight. Topics: Childhood and Youth Youth; Childhood Languages: English Tune Title: WATCHWORD

Come, said Jesus' Sacred Voice

Author: Anna L. Barbauld Hymnal: CCHS1916 #107 (1918) Person Name: Anna L. Barbauld Lyrics: 1 Come, said Jesus' sacred voice, Come, and make My paths your choice; I will guide you to your home, Weary pilgrim, hither come. 2 Thou who, homeless, sole, forlorn, Long hast borne the proud world’s scorn, Long hast roamed the barren waste, Weary pilgrim, hither haste. 3 Ye who, tossed on beds of pain, Seek for ease, but seek in vain; Ye, by fiercer anguish torn, In remorse for guilt who mourn; 4 Hither come, for here is found Balm that flows for ev'ry wound, Peace that ever shall endure, Rest eternal, sacred, sure.

Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: Sabine-Baring Gould; B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: CCHS1916 #49 (1918) Person Name: Sabine-Baring Gould First Line: Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Lyrics: 1 Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, thro' the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless thro' the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Bright'ning all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain the lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

Lamp of our Feet, whereby we Trace

Author: Bernard Barton Hymnal: CCHS1916 #52 (1918) Person Name: Bernard Barton Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path when wont to stray; Stream from the fount of heav'nly grace, Brook by the trav'ler's way; 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed, The manna from on high; Our guide and chart, wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky; 3 Word of the ever-living God, Will of His glorious Son; Without Thee how could earth be trod, Or heaven itself be won? 4 Yet to unfold Thy hidden worth, Thy myst'ries to reveal, That Spirit which first gave thee forth, Thy volume must unseal. 5 And we, if we aright would learn The wisdom it imparts, Must to its heavenly teaching turn, With simple, child-like hearts.

Come ye Yourselves Apart and Rest

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Hymnal: CCHS1916 #34 (1918) Person Name: Edward H. Bickersteth First Line: Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile Lyrics: 1 Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile, Weary, I know it, of the press and throng, Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil, And in my quiet strength again be strong. 2 Come, tell Me all that ye have said and done, Your victories and failures, hopes and fears, I know how hardly souls are wooed and won; My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears. 3 Come ye, and rest; the journey is too great, And ye will faint beside the way and sink: The bread of life is here for you to eat, And here for you the wine of love to drink. 4 Then, fresh from converse with your Lord, return And work till daylight softens into even; The brief hours are not lost in which ye learn More of your Master and His rest in heaven.
