A charge to keep I have

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #474 (1871) 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 From youth to hoary age, My calling to fulfil; O may it all my powers 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, And on Thyself rely; Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall for ever die.

A few more years shall roll

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #28 (1871) 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 suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time, And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that blest day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 3 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that calm day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 4 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: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that bright day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 5 '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.

A glory gilds the sacred page

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #365 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun: It gives a light to every age: It gives, but borrows none. 2 The Hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat: His truths upon the nations rise; They rise, but never set. 3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine, For such a bright display, As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 4 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of Him I love, Till glory break upon my view In brighter worlds above.

A Mountain Fastness is our God

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #397 (1871) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 A Mountain Fastness is our God, On which our souls are planted: And though the fierce foe rage abroad, Our hearts are nothing daunted. What though he beset, With weapon and net, Array'd in death-strife? In God are help and life: He is our Sword and Armour. 2 By our own might we naught can do; To trust it were sure losing; For us must fight the right and True, The Man of god's own choosing. Dost ask for His Name? Christ Jesus we claim; The Lord God of hosts; The only God; vain boasts Of others fall before Him. 3 What though the troops of Satan fill'd The world with hostile forces? E'en though our fears should all be still'd: In God are our resources. The world and its King No terrors can bring; Their threats are no worth: Their doom is now gone forth: A singe word can quell them. 4 God's word through all shall have free sway, And ask no man's permission: The Spirit and His gifts convey Strength to defy perdition. The body to kill, Wife, children, at will, The wicked have power: Yet last it but an hour! The kingdom's ours for ever! 5 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, For ever be outpouring One chorus from the heavenly host And saints on earth adoring! That chorus resound To earth's utmost bound, And spread from shore to shore, Like stormy ocean's roar, Through endless ages rolling. Topics: The Christian Life Faith Languages: English

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #335 (1871) 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 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, Lord, abide with me. 4 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. 5 Hold Thou the 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.

According to Thy gracious word

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #211 (1871) 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 heaven shall be; Thy sacramental cup I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Can I Gethsemane 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.

Again the Lord of life and light

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #156 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord of life and light Awakes the kindling ray, Unseals the eyelids of the morn, And pours increasing day. 2 O what a night was that which wrapt A heathen world in gloom! O what a Sun which broke this day Triumphant from the tomb! 3 The powers of darkness leagued in vain To bind our Lord in death; He shook their kingdom when He fell, By His expiring breath. 4 And now His conquering chariot-wheels Ascend the lofty skies; Broken beneath His powerful Cross, Death's iron sceptre lies. 5 This day be grateful homage paid, And loud Hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in every heart, And praise on every tongue. 6 Ten thousand differing voices join To hail this welcome morn, Which scatters blessings from its wings On nations yet unborn.

Ah, how shall fallen man

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #382 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ah, how shall fallen man Be just before his God! If He contend in righteousness, We sink beneath His rod. 2 If He our ways should mark, With strict inquiring eyes, Could we for one of thousand faults A just excuse devise? 3 All-seeing, powerful God! Who can with Thee contend? Or who that tries the unequal strife, Shall prosper in the end? 4 The mountains in Thy wrath, Their ancient seats forsake: The trembling earth deserts her place, Her rooted pillars shake. 5 Ah, how shall guilty man Contend with such a God? None, none can meet Him, and escape, But through the Saviour's blood. Languages: English

Ah, not like erring man is God

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #379 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ah, not like erring man is God, That men to answer Him should dare; Condemn'd, and into silence awed, They helpless stand before His bar. 2 There must a Mediator plead, Who, God and man, may both embrace; With God for man to intercede, And offer man the purchased grace. 3 And lo! the Son of God is slain To be this Mediator crown'd: In Him my soul, be cleansed from stain, In Him thy righteousness be found.
