Again our earthly cares we leave

Author: John Newton Appears in 109 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Again our earthly cares we leave, And to Thy courts repair; Again with joyful feet we haste, To meet our Saviour there. 2 Great Shepherd of thy people, here Thy presence now display: We bow within thy house of prayer; O give us hearts to pray! 3 The clouds which vail thee from our sight, In pity, Lord, remove; Dispose our minds to hear aright The message of thy love. 4 The feeling heart, the melting eye, The humble mind, bestow; And shine upon us from above, To make our graces grow.

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound

Author: John Newton Appears in 1,491 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amazing grace! how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed! 3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4 The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine.

And must I be to Judgment brought

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 279 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And must I be to Judgment brought. And answer in that day, For every vain and idle thought, And every word I say? 2 Yes; every secret of my heart Shall shortly be made known, And I receive my just desert For all that I have done. 3 How careful, then, ought I to live, With what religious fear; Who such a strict account must give For my behaviour here! 4 Thou awful Judge of quick and dead, The watchful power bestow; So shall I to my ways take heed, In all I speak or do.

Away, my unbelieving fear!

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Away, my unbelieving fear! Fear shall in me no more have place: My Saviour doth not yet appear, He hides the brightness of his face; But shall I therefore let him go, And basely to the tempter yield? No, in the strength of Jesus, no; I never will give up my shield. 2 Although the vine its fruit deny, Although the olive yield no oil, The withering fig-trees droop and die, The fields elude the tiller's toil, The empty stall no herd afford, And perish all the bleating race; Yet I will triumph in the Lord, The God of my salvation praise. 3 Barren although my soul remain, And not one bud of grace appear, No fruit of all my toil and pain, But sin and only sin is here; Although my gifts and comforts lost, My blooming hopes cut off I see, Yet will I in my Saviour trust, And glory that he died for me.

Behold the Saviour at the door!

Author: Anon. Appears in 625 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still, You treat no other friend so ill. 2 He counsels thee to buy of him Gold tried by fire, and raiment clean; Anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see, And put away thy stains from thee. 3 O, hear the faithful Witness' voice, He offers now a final choice; Thou art offensive, O lukewarm! Therefore be zealous and reform. 4 His mission now is almost o'er, Before the throne he'll plead no more; The filthy must his filth retain, He that is holy, so remain. 5 His locks with dews of night are wet, But at thy heart he lingereth yet. O wake, and open wide the door; Bid thy Beloved wait no more. 5 Yea, bring him in, a welcome guest; So shalt thou in his presence rest, And in communion sweet and free, Shalt sup with him and he with thee.

Beyond the starry skies

Author: Daniel Turner Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Beyond the starry skies, Far as the eternal hills, There in the boundless world of light Our great Redeemer dwells. Around him angels fair In countless armies shine; And ever, in exalted lays, They offer songs divine. 2 "Hail, Prince of life!" they cry, "Whose unexampled love Moved thee to quit these glorious realms And royalties above." And when he stooped to earth, And suffered rude disdain, They cast their honors at his feet, And waited in his train. 3 They saw him on the cross, While darkness vailed the skies; And when he burst the gates of death, They saw the Conqueror rise. They thronged his chariot wheels, And bore him to his throne; Then swept their golden harps and sung, "That glorious work is done." Topics: Worship Adoration of Christ Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
