Lord of My Life!
Author: Unknown Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 48 hymnals First Line: Lord of my life! Whose tender care Lyrics: 1. Lord of my life! Whose tender care
Hath led me on till now,
Here lowly at the hour of prayer
Before Thy throne I bow;
I bless Thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for another day.
2. Oh, may I daily, hourly, strive
In heavenly grace to grow;
To Thee and to Thy glory live,
Dead to all else below;
Tread in the path my Savior trod,
Though thorny, yet the path to God.
3. With prayer my humble praise I bring
For mercies day by day;
Lord! teach my heart Thy love to sing,
Lord! teach me how to pray;
All that I have, I am, to Thee
I offer, through eternity.

Hath led me on till now,
Here lowly at the hour of evening prayer
Before Thy radiant throne I humbly bow;
I bless Thy gracious hand, and pray
Forgiveness for this day.
2. Oh, may I daily, hourly, strive
In heav’nly grace to grow;
To Thee and to Thy glory ever live,
Dead to all other earthly things below;
Tread in the path my Savior trod,
Though thorny, yet to God.
3. With prayers my humble praise I bring
For mercies day by day;
Lord! teach my willing heart Thy love to sing,
Lord! teach me now and ever how to pray;
All that I have, I give to Thee
Through all eternity. Used With Tune: WESSEX Text Sources: Appeared in Church of England Magazine, February 1838, signed Ω Chelsea
Lord of My Life!
To depths of earth Thou didst descend
Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
To depths of earth Thou didst descend,
O Christ, to break the chain
That held the sons of men enslaved,
And lead them forth again;
As Jonah left the living grave,
So cam’st Thou forth, O Christ, to save.
Unbroken were the seals when Thou
Didst leave the dismal tomb,
Even as the virgin bars remained
When Thou didst leave the womb;
And Thou hast ope’d the gates of heaven,
And entrance free to all is given.
O Thou, my Saviour and my God,
Who camest from above,
And gav’st Thyself for sinful men
An offering of love!
Now, rising from the grave, we see
Our human race arise with Thee.

The Star In The East
Author: Thomas Campbell Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: A star appeared, and peaceful threw Lyrics: 1 A star appeared, and peaceful threw
Around its holy ray;
It caught the faithful Magi’s view,
And led the wondrous way,
From far famed Persia’s smiling bowers,
Fair land of beauty, fruits and flowers.
2 Each heart throughout the gazing throng
What anxious gladness fills,
While slowly moved that star along
O’er Judah’s sacred hills,
And softly fixed its mellow light
On distant Bethlehem’s joyful night!
3 There, unknown to the rich and great,
Or perfumed halls of state,
Where shining golden lamps so bright
Scoff at the silent night,
Hear music’s notes, so holy, sweet,
They rise and fall ’mid joy complete.
4 The Prince of Peace, so young, so fair,
In lowly state He slept;
While near, with kind parental care,
The mother’s watch was kept.
Let sweetest harp of Judah rise,
And Gentile hymns climb to the skies! Used With Tune: MEIRINGEN

Thy faithful watch and care.

Nor where the fogs are gray. [Refrain]

And leave the friendly shore,
Let not our heart of courage fail
Until the voyage is o’er. [Refrain]

O bring us safely there,
Where harbor lights of friendship burn
And peace is in the air. [Refrain]

We seek our final port in Thee;
O bring us home at last. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MEIRINGEN

Author: Thomas Cotterill Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let songs of praises fill the sky:
Christ, our ascended Lord,
Sends down His Spirit from on high
According to His Word:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
2 The Spirit, by His heav’nly breath,
Creates new life within;
He quickens sinners from the death
Of trespasses and sin:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
3 The things of Christ the Spirit takes
And shows them unto men:
The fallen soul His temple makes;
God’s image stamps again:
All hail the day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
4 Come, Holy Spirit, from above,
With Thy celestial fire;
O come, with flames of zeal and love
Our hearts and tongues inspire!
Be this our day of Pentecost,
The coming of the Holy Ghost!
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost Used With Tune: COURTLAND

Today a Wonder We Behold
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics:
To-day a wonder we behold,
A Mystery profound,--
The Great Invisible of old
Before our eyes is bound:
And He Who came to set us free,
Is held in base captivity.
26
The judge of all, to Whose assize
The race of man shall wend,
When He to judgement shall arise,
And forth the summons send,--
Behold Him, faultless and alone,
Before an earthly judgement throne.
And cruel hands are on Him laid,
And smite Him on the face,
'Though by Himself the hands were made,
Thus sullied with disgrace;
Creation, view the awful sight,
The creature his Creator smite.
He, Who Immortal Life bestows,
And hades' might defies,
Is hurried by relentless hands,
To Calvary, where He dies;--
And all is borne,--the scorn, the Cross,
In love to save our souls from loss.
