O'er the trackless ocean guided

Author: W. H. Adams, 1864- Hymnal: MHTB1917 #655 (1917) Person Name: W. H. Adams, 1864- Lyrics: 1 O'er the trackless ocean guided By Thy hand our fathers came; They, O Lord, in Thee confided, Loved Thy day, revered Thy name; Nor would we, their faith despising, False to their devotion be, But, on wings of prayer arising, Lift our contrite hearts to Thee. 2 In the new land, wild and lonely, Rude the homes which they upraised, There they sought unto Thee only, There Thy love and mercy praised; In our fairer habitations, May their zeal in us increase, While Thy gracious consolations Prove our everlasting peace. 3 Where, in wilderness extending, Every creature had his lair, Now behold us humbly bending In this holy place of prayer; Let the world transformed around us Witness be of change within Joy divine that God hath found us, Healed the deadly wounds of sin. 4 Destined for their fathers' places, Age on age until the end, Keep, O keep, our children's faces Turned to Thee, our changeless Friend; And may all who boon of heaven Now or evermore shall crave, Know on earth Thy blessing given, Glory find beyond the grave.

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #5 (1917) Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Lyrics: 1. When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2. Unnumbered comforts on my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3. When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4. Through hidden dangers, toils, and deaths, It gently cleared my way; And through the pleasing snares of vice, More to be feared than they. 5. Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The pleasing theme renew. 6. Through all eternity, to Thee A grateful song I'll raise; But O, eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise!

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #176a (1917) Person Name: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display; And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth: Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though, in solemn silence, all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice or sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reasons' ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, For ever singing, as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."

Hail the glorious Golden City

Author: Felix Adler, 1851- Hymnal: MHTB1917 #408 (1917) Person Name: Felix Adler, 1851- Lyrics: 1 Hail the glorious Golden City, Pictured by the seers of old! Everlasting light shines o'er it, Wondrous tales of it are told: Only righteous men and women Dwell within its gleaming wall; Wrong is banished from its borders, Justice reigns supreme o'er all. 2 We are builders of that city; All our joys and all our groans Help to rear its shining ramparts; All our lives are living stones: Whether humble or exalted, All are called to task divine; All must aid alike to carry Forward one sublime design. 3 And the work that we have builded, Oft with bleeding hands and tears, And in error and in anguish, Will not perish with our years: It will last and shine transfigured In the final reign of Right, It will merge into the splendours Of the City of the Light.

Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult

Author: Mrs. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Hymnal: MHTB1917 #337 (1917) Person Name: Mrs. Cecil Frances Alexander, 1823-1895 Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult Of our life's wild, restless sea, Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow Me." 2 As of old Apostles heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home, and toil, and kindred, Leaving all for His dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store, From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love Me more!" 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love Me more than these!" 5 Jesus calls us: by Thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear Thy call, Give our hearts to Thy obedience, Service and love Thee best of all.
