A few More Years Shall Roll

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #318 (1901) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: CHALVEY

A Great and Mighty Wonder

Author: Anatolius, -458 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #21a (1901) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder Our Christmas Festal brings; On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And cherubim sing anthems To shepherds, from the sky. 3 And we with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men!" 4 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Saviour and the Lord! 5 All idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His sceptre, Our Lord and God for aye. Amen. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: KOCHER

A Lamb Goes Uncomplaining Forth

Author: Paul Gerhardt, 1607-1676 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #75a (1901) Lyrics: 1 A Lamb goes uncomplaining forth, The guilt of all men bearing; 'Tis laden with the sin of earth; None else the burden sharing. It goes its way, grows weak and faint, To slaughter led without complaint, Its spotless life to offer; Bears shame, and stripes, and wounds, and death, Anguish and mockery, and saith, "Willing all this I suffer." 2 This spotless Lamb, our soul's great Friend, And everlasting Saviour, God chooseth sin's dread reign to end And bring us to His favor. "Go forth, my Son! redeem to Thee The children who're exposed by me To punishment and anger. the punishment is great, and dread The wrath, but Thou Thy blood shalt shed, And free them from this danger." 3 Dilate, shrine of my heart, and swell, To thee shall now be given A treasure that doth far excel The worth of earth and heaven. Away with silver and with gold, With treasures of an earthly mold! I've found a better jewel. My priceless treasure, Lord my God, Is thy most holy, precious blood, Which flowed from wounds so cruel. 4 And when Thy glory I shall see And taste Thy kingdom's pleasure Thy blood shall then my purple be, I'll clothe me in this treasure; It then shall be my glorious crown; thus I'll appear before the throne Of God, and need not hide me; And shall, by Him to Thee bethrothed, By Thee in bridal garments clothed, Stand as a bride beside Thee.

A Mighty Fortress is Our God

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #193a (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.5.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us in our every need That has us now o'ertaken. The old malignant foe Means us deadly woe: Deep guile and cruel might Are his dread arms in fight, On earth is not his equal. 2 With might of ours can naught be done, Soon were our loss effected: But for us fights the valiant One Whom God Himself elected, Ask ye who this may be? Jesus Christ, 'tis He, As Lord of Hosts adores, Our only King and Lord, He holds the field forever. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. For this world's prince may still, Scowl fierce as he will, We need not be alarmed, For he is now disarmed; One little word o'erthrows him. 4 The Word thy still shall let remain, Nor any thanks have for it; He's by our side upon the plain, With His good gifts and Spirit, Take they, then, what they will, Life, goods, all; and still, E'en when their worst is done, They yet have nothing won, The kingdom ours remaineth.

Abide With me! Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #172 (1901) 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, oh, 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 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me! 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me! 7 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! 8 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Amen. Topics: Worship Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
