A Charge to Keep I Have
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HOoS1926 #501 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify;
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
2 To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill;
O may it all my pow'rs engage
To do my Master's will.
3 Arm me with jealous care,
As in Thy sight to live;
And O, Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give!
4 Help me to watch and pray,
On Thee alone rely,
Assured, if Thee I trust alway,
That I shall never die.
Amen. Topics: Christian Conduct and Service; Septuagesima Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON
A Charge to Keep I Have
A Few More Years Shall Roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HOoS1926 #592 (1926) 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;
O 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;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away!
Amen. Topics: Last Things: Death and Burial Languages: English Tune Title: CHALVEY
A Few More Years Shall Roll
A Great and Mighty Wonder
Author: Anatolius Hymnal: HOoS1926 #30 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 A great and might 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 scepter,
Our Lord and God for aye.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Advent; Christmas Day Languages: English Tune Title: KOCHER
A Great and Mighty Wonder
A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: HOoS1926 #266 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God,
A trusty Shield and Weapon,
He helps us in our ev'ry need
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old malignant foe
Ere 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, it is He,
As Lord of Hosts adored,
Our only King and Lord,
He holds the field forever.
3 Though devils all the world should fill,
All eager to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill,
They shall not overpower us.
For this world's prince may still
Scowl fiercely as he will,
We need not be alarmed,
For he is now disarmed;
One little word o'erthrows him.
4 The Word they 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, yea, all; and still,
E'en when their worst is done,
They yet have nothing won,
The kingdom ours remaineth.
Amen.

A Voice, a Heavenly Voice I Hear
Author: Johan Olof Wallin Hymnal: HOoS1926 #238 (1926) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8 First Line: A voice, a heav'nly voice I hear! Lyrics: 1 A voice, a heav'nly voice I hear!
Arise, O soul, come and draw near
To hallow and revere
The day the Lord thy God doth make,
And of the bread of life partake.
2 I come, dear Jesus, at Thy word,
A guest unworthy to Thy board,
My Saviour and my Lord.
O clothe me with Thy righteousness,
My soul with Thy salvation bless!

A Voice, a Heavenly Voice I Hear
Abide with Me! Fast Falls the Eventide
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: HOoS1926 #550 (1926) 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, O 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 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, O abide with me!
5 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!
6 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: Occasional Evening; Evening Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE (MONK)

Abide with Us, O Saviour Dear
Author: Nicolaus Selnecker; Claude W. Foss Hymnal: HOoS1926 #268 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, O Saviour dear,
For dark and low'ring clouds appear;
And let Thy light, Thy Word divine,
Continue in Thy church to shine.
2 This is a dark and evil day,
Forsake us not, O Lord, we pray;
And let us in our grief and pain
They Word and sacraments retain.
3 Lord Jesus, help, Thy Church uphold,
For we are weak, indifferent, cold;
Give us Thy Spirit and Thy grace,
And spread Thy truth in every place.
4 And keep us steadfast in Thy Word,
Stay Satan's fatal wiles, O Lord;
To us Thy grace and power reveal,
And let Thy Church Thy presence feel.
5 And since the cause is Thine, we pray,
Do Thou the arm of evil stay;
And grace and power and wisdom lend
To those who would Thy Word defend.
6 Thy Word is in distress and need
Our comfort and defense indeed;
By it Thy Church keep pure within
And free from error, shame, and sin.
7 Grant that Thy Word may light our way,
That we in darkness may not stray,
But, through this vale of sin and woe,
May to the heavenly mansions go.
Amen.

Abide with Us, Our Saviour
Author: Joshua Stegmann Hymnal: HOoS1926 #358 (1926) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Abide with us, our Saviour,
Nor let Thy mercy cease;
From Satan's might defend us,
And grant our souls release.
2 Abide with us, our Saviour,
Sustain us by Thy Word;
That we with all Thy people
To life may be restored.
3 Abide with us, our Saviour,
Thou Light of endless light;
Increase to us Thy blessings,
And save us by Thy might.
4 To Father, Son, and Spirit,
Eternal One in Three,
As was, and is forever,
All praise and glory be.

Abode of Peace, My Father's Home Forever
Author: Agata Rosenius Hymnal: HOoS1926 #624 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10.8.8.7.7 First Line: Abode of peace, my Father's home forever! Lyrics: 1 Abode of peace, my Father’s home forever!
My weary soul in faith doth yearn for thee.
I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour,
To Thine abode of peace, eternally.
There is on earth no peaceful rest;
Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed,
Our vision dim and failing,
Our vision dim and failing.
2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth;
God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore.
Who on God’s Word and promises relieth
Shall find at last the choicest wine in store.
Forgotten then is all distress,
Eternal peace and happiness
Shall then be ours forever,
Shall then be ours forever.
3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour,
And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart.
In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever,
Thou only givest solace to my heart.
For when, O Lord, I am with Thee,
All other comforts well may flee;
With Thee I’m blest forever,
With Thee I'm blest forever.
Amen.

Abode of Peace, My Father's Home Forever
According to Thy Gracious Word
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: HOoS1926 #239 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee.
2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heav'n shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Thee.
3 Gethsemane can I forget,
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember Thee?
4 When to the Cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice!
I must remember Thee!
5 Remember Thee and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee.
6 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me!
