Lord of our life, and God of our salvation

Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 220 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of our life, and God of our salvation, Star of our night, and Hope of every nation, Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication, Lord God Almighty. 2 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth, Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth, Lord, o'er Thy Rock nor death nor hell prevaileth: Grant us Thy peace, Lord: 3 Peace in the land--from foeman's sword deliver, Peace in the church--let brethren naught dissever; Peace in the heart and conscience now and ever Grant us, O Saviour! 4 Grant us Thy help till Thy foes back are driven, Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven, Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven, Peace in Thy heaven.

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying

Meter: 11.10 Appears in 776 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep o’er the erring ones, lift up the fallen, Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save. Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, Waiting the penitent child to receive; Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently: He will forgive, if they only believe. 2 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, Hope that lies buried, God's grace can restore: Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide. Back to the narrow way patiently win them, Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.

And must this body die

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 376 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And must this body die, This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mouldering in the clay? 2 God my Redeemer lives, And often from the skies Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 3 Arrayed in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And every shape, and every face, Look heavenly and divine. 4 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love: We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 5 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.

As with gladness men of old

Appears in 638 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright: So, most gracious God, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore: So may we with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare, So may we, with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our dearest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.
