Nearer, My God, to Thee
Author: Sarah F. Adams, 1805-1848 Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 2,551 hymnals First Line: Nearer, my God to Thee 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, 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, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
3 There let my way appear,
Steps unto heav'n;
All that Thou sendest me,
In mercy giv'n;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
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, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
5 Or if, on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upward I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee;
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Amen. Topics: Consolation; Eternal Life; Funeral; Obedience; Presence of God Scripture: Psalm 119:151 Used With Tune: BETHANY

O Come, All Ye Faithful
All Beautiful the March of Days
Author: Frances W. Wile, 1878-1939 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 87 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days,
As seasons come and go;
The hand that shaped the rose hath wrought
The crystal of the snow,
Hath sent the hoary frost of heav'n,
The flowing waters sealed,
And laid a silent loveliness
On hill and wood and field.
2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure
The radiant morns unfold;
The solemn splendors of the night
Burn brighter through the cold.
Life mounts in ev'ry throbbing vein,
Love deepens round the hearth,
And clearer sounds the angel hymn,
"Good will to men on earth."
3 O Thou from whose unfathomed law
The year in beauty flows,
Thyself the vision passing by
In crystal and in rose,
Day unto day doth utter speech,
And night to night proclaim,
In ever-changing words of light,
The wonder of Thy name.

When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee;

Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee.

The solemn hush of nature newly born;
Alone with Thee in breathless adoration,
In the calm dew and freshness of the morn.

A fresh and solemn splendor still is giv'n,
So does this blessed consciousness, awaking,
Breathe each day nearness unto Thee and heav'n.

When the soul waketh and life's shadows flee;
O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning,
Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee.

The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns
All music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.

Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified.
No angel is the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends His burning eye
At mysteries so bright.
3 Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o'er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save;
His glories now we sing,
Who died and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
4 Crown him the Lord of years,
The potentate of time,
Creator of the rolling spheres,
Ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
For Thou hast died for me;
Thy praise shall never, never fail
Throughout eternity.

For sinners such as I?

At the cross, at the cross
where I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away -
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree! [Refrain]

And shut His glories in
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin. [Refrain]

While Calv'ry's cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt mine eyes to tears. [Refrain]

The debt of love I owe.
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do! [Refrain]

At the Cross
God Is Here! As We His People
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we His people
Meet to offer praise and prayer,
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share:
Here, as in the world around us,
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of His Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
Of our lifelong need of grace;
Here are table, font and pulpit,
Here the cross has central place:
Here in honesty of preaching,
Here in silence as in speech,
Here in newness and renewal
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd's flock and fold;
Here, as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old:
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
In an age of change and doubt,
Keep us faithful to the gospel,
Help us work Your purpose out:
Here, in this day's dedication,
All we have to give, receive;
We who cannot live without You,
We adore You! We believe!
