A few more years shall roll

Appears in 384 hymnals 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

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 387 hymnals 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.

According to Thy gracious word

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 555 hymnals 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.

All glorious God, what hymns of praise

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All glorious God, what hymns of praise Shall our transported voices raise! What ardent love and zeal are due, While heaven stands open to our view! 2 Once we were fallen, and O how low! Just on the brink of endless woe: When Jesus, from the realms above, Borne on the wings of boundless love, 3 Scattered the shades of death and night, And spread around His heavenly light: By Him what wondrous grace is shown To souls impoverish'd and undone! 4 He shows, beyond these mortal shores, A bright inheritance as ours; Where saints in light our coming wait To share their holy, happy state.
