My faith looks up to Thee

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 2,218 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine! Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away, O let me from this day Be wholly Thine. 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee, Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day, Wipe sorrow's tears away, Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll; Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; O bear me safe above, A ransomed soul. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: OLIVET

Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing

Author: Edward Caswall Appears in 159 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come hither, ye faithful, triumphantly sing; Come see in the manger the angels' dread King! To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 2 True Son of the Father, He comes from the skies; To be born of a Virgin He doth not despise; To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 3 Hark, hark, to the angels, all singing in heaven, "To God in the highest all glory be given!" To Bethlehem hasten, with joyful accord; O come ye, come hither, to worship the Lord! 4 To Thee, then, O Jesus, this day of Thy birth, Be glory and honor through heaven and earth; True Godhead incarnate, omnipotent Word! O come, let us hasten to worship the Lord! 1 Of the Father's love begotten, Ere the worlds began to be, He is Alpha and Omega, He the source, the ending He, Of the things that are, that have been, And that future years shall see, Evermore and evermore. 2 Oh, that birth forever blessed! When the Virgin, full of grace, By the Holy Ghost conceiving, Bare the Saviour of our race, And the Babe, the world's Redeemer, First revealed His sacred face Evermore and evermore. 3 O ye heights of heaven adore Him; Angel-hosts, His praises sing; Powers, dominions, bow before Him And extol our God and King; Let no tongue on earth be silent, Every voice in concert ring Evermore and evermore. 4 Christ, to Thee, with God the Father, And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee, Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving And unending praises be, Honor, glory and dominion, And eternal victory, Evermore and evermore.

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Appears in 681 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A trusty Shield and Weapon; He helps us free from every need That hath us now o'ertaken. The old bitter foe Means us deadly woe; Deep guile and great 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 is this? Jesus Christ it is, Of Sabaoth Lord, And there's none other God; He holds the field for eve. 3 Though devils all the world should fill, All watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill, They cannot overpower us. This world's prince may still Scowl fierce as he will; He can harm us none; He's judge, the deed is done, 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 our life, Goods, fame, child, and wife, When their worst is done, They yet have nothing won: The Kingdom ours remaineth. Amen. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG Text Sources: Tr. Composite, 1866
