Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: S. F. Adams Hymnal: CHLS1911 #47 (1911) Person Name: S. F. Adams Lyrics: 1 NEARER, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, 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 to Thee! 3 There let my way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me, 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 to Thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upwards I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: J. Addison Hymnal: CHLS1911 #61 (1911) Person Name: J. Addison Lyrics: 1. THE LORD my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd’s care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye, My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2. While on the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My every wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3. Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray, Thy bounty shall my pains beguile, The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden green and herbage crowned, And streams shall murmur all around. 4. Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

Spread, O spread, thou mighty Word

Author: J. F. Bahnmaier; C. Winkworth Hymnal: CHLS1911 #59 (1911) Person Name: J. F. Bahnmaier Lyrics: 1 SPREAD, O spread, thou mighty Word, Spread the kingdom of the Lord, That is earth's remotest bound Men may ear Thy joyful sound. 2 Tell them how the Father's will Made the world and keeps it still, How His only Son He gave Man from sin and death to save. 3 Tell of our Redeemer's love, Who forever doth remove, By His holy sacrifice, All the guilt that on us lies. 4 Tell them of the Spirit giv'n As our Guide through Christ to heav'n, Strong and holy, just and true, Working both to will and do. 5 Up! the ripening fields we see, Mighty shall the harvest be; But the reapers still how few! Lord, send men Thy work to do! Topics: General Hymns; The Church Languages: English

Jesus, I will ponder now

Author: S. v. Birken; A. Crull Hymnal: CHLS1911 #87 (1911) Person Name: S. v. Birken Lyrics: 1. JESUS, I will ponder now On Thy holy passion; With Thy Spirit me endow For such meditation. Grant that I in love and faith May the image cherish Of Thy suffering, pain, and death, That I might not perish. 2. Let me see Thy great distress. Anguish, and affliction, Bonds, and stripes, and wretchedness, And Thy crucifixion; Let me see how scourge and rod, Spear and nails did wound Thee, How for man Thou diedst, O God, Who with thorns had crowned Thee. 3. Yet, O Lord, not thus alone Make me see Thy passion, But its cause to me make known, And its termination. Ah! I also and my sin Wrought thy deep affliction; This the real cause hath been Of Thy crucifixion. 4. Grant that I Thy passion view With repentant grieving, Nor Thee crucify anew By unholy living. How could I refuse to shun Every sinful pleasure, Since for me God's only Son Suffered without measure? 5. If my sins give me alarm And my conscience grieve me, Let Thy cross my fear disarm, Peace of conscience give me. Grant that I may trust in Thee And Thy holy passion; If His Son so loveth me, God must have compassion. 6. Grant that I may willingly Bear with Thee my crosses, Learning humbleness of Thee, Peace 'midst pains and losses; Let me give Thee love for love. Hear me, O my Saviour, That I may in heav'n above Sing Thy praise forever. Topics: Lent Languages: English

Bonar Lyrics: 1 ALL that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then, in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live! 5 All that I am, even here on earth, All that I hope to be When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

I love the name of Jesus, Immanuel, Christ, the Lord; Like fragrance on the breezes His name abroad is poured. 4 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be like Jesus, The Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng, To sing with saints His praises, To learn the angel's song. Topics: General Hymns; Sanctification; Cross and Comfort Languages: English
