And Am I Only Born to Die?
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1. And am I only born to die?
And must I suddenly comply
With nature’s stern decree?
What after death for me remains?
Celestial joys, or hellish pains,
To all eternity?
2. How then ought I on earth to live,
While God prolongs the kind reprieve
And props the house of clay?
My sole concern, my single care,
To watch, and tremble, and prepare
Against the fatal day.
3. No room for mirth or trifling here,
For worldly hope, or worldly fear,
If life so soon is gone:
If now the Judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
The inexorable throne!
4. No matter which my thoughts employ,
A moment’s misery, or joy;
But O! when both shall end,
Where shall I find my destined place?
Shall I my everlasting days
With fiends, or angels spend?
5. Nothing is worth a thought beneath
But how I may escape the death
That never, never dies;
How make mine own election sure,
And, when I fail on earth, secure
A mansion in the skies.
6. Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray,
Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way
To glorious happiness;
Ah, write the pardon on my heart,
And whensoe’er I hence depart,
Let me depart in peace. Languages: English Tune Title: VENETIA
And Am I Only Born to Die?
The Morning dawns; on gilded height
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Russian Church #5 (1920) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics:
The Morning dawns; on gilded height
The glory of the early light
Awaits the rising sun
Awake, my soul, to life awake!
Inspired with hope thy task o'ertake,
And fill the day begun.
O Light, beyond our utmost light,
To Whom our day is as the night,
Our sun a feeble star;
Lead me to where Thy glories rise,
Beyond the earth, beyond the skies,
On fairer fields afar.
Thou art the Light, eternal Christ,
Whose glory at the first sufficed
To fire the endless spheres;
Night has no more abiding place,
Before the brightness of Thy face
The darkness disappears.
O that a searching ray would shine
Within this darkened soul of mine,
And bid my night depart!
Then would the joy of life abound,
And morning music ever sound
Within my joyless heart.

The Morning dawns; on gilded height
Loss and Gain.
Author: Joseph Morris Hymnal: Favourite Welsh Hymns #5 (1854) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 First Line: In Eden—Memory e'er will tell Lyrics:
In Eden—Memory e’er will tell,
How honours thick as dew that fell
Were lost: alas, man’s crown!
On Calvary, did Mercy bring
More lofty honours—I will sing
The Victor’s high renown.

Not far beyond the sea nor high
Author: George B. Caird (b. 1917) Hymnal: Hymns for Celebration #7 (1974) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Topics: Holy Communion At the Ministry of the Word Languages: English Tune Title: MANNA
Not far beyond the sea nor high
Fear not, O little flock, the foe
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Altenburg Hymnal: Lyra Germanica #7 (1861) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics:
Fear not, O little flock, the foe
Who madly seeks your overthrow,
Dread not his rage and power:
What though your courage sometimes faints,
His seeming triumph o'er God's saints
Lasts but one little hour.
Be of good cheer; your cause belongs
To Him who can avenge your wrongs,
Leave it to Him our Lord.
Though hidden yet from all our eyes,
He sees the Gideon who shall rise
To save us, and His word.
As true as God's own word is true,
Nor earth nor hell with all their crew
Against us shall prevail.
A jest and by-word are they grown;
God is with us, we are His own,
Our victory cannot fail.
Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our prayer!
Great Captain, now Thine arm make bare;
Fight for us once again!
So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise
A mighty chorus to Thy praise,
World without end. Amen.

Fear not, O little flock, the foe
O Light, resplendent of the morn
Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #9 (1911) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics:
I
O Light, resplendent of the morn
On golden pinions upwards borne,
That usherest in the day;
We rise responsive to the call,
As night removes her dusky pall,
And speeds her flight away.
II
O Light, that, from the Father’s face,
Shone on our world with winning grace,
When darker night prevailed;
We rise to greet Thine Advent bright,
All hail! majestic in Thy might,
When darkness is assailed.
III
O let my soul Thy rising see;
From every cloud my vision free,
And on my pathway shine;
Then shall my course, in safety trod,
Lead ever nearer to my God,
The source of light divine.
IV
O Jesus, Morn of better day,
Thou Light of lights, Whose gladsome ray
Gives light, and life, and cheer;
Light to my soul, and life impart,
And fill with joy my inmost heart,
And scatter night and fear.

O Light, resplendent of the morn
A living, loving, lasting word
Author: A. L. Waring Hymnal: Hymns and Meditations #14 (1873) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics:
A living, loving, lasting word,
My listening ear believing heard,
While bending down in prayer;
Like a sweet breeze that none can stay,
It passed my soul upon its way,
And left a blessing there.
Then joyful thoughts that come and go,
By paths the holy angels know,
Encamped around my soul;
As in a dream of blest repose,
Mid withered reeds a river rose,
And through the desert stole.
I lifted up my eyes to see —
The wilderness was glad for me,
Its thorns were bright with bloom;
And onward travellers still in sight,
Marked out a path of shining light,
And shade unmixed with gloom.
O sweet the strains of those before,
“The weary knees are weak no more,
The faithful heart is strong;”
But sweeter, nearer, from above,
That word of everlasting love,
The promise and the song.
Scripture: Isaiah 51:3 Languages: English

Come on my partners in distress
Hymnal: Songs of Zion #20 (1821) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come on, my partners in distress,My comrades through the wilderness,Who still your bodies feel,A while forget your griefs, and fears,And look beyond this vale of tearsTo that celestial hill.2. Beyond the bounds of time, and space,Look forward to that happy place,The saints’ secure abode,On faith’s strong eagle pinions rise,And force your passage to the skies,And scale the mount of God.3. Who suffer with our Master here,We shall before his face appear,And by his side sit down:To patient faith the prize is sure,And all that to the end endureThe cross, shall wear the crown. Tune Title: WANTAGE
Come on my partners in distress
O Jesu, let me kiss thy Name!
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Hymns and Sacred Poems. In two volumes #22 (1749) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, let me kiss thy name!All sin alas! Thou knowst I am,But thou all pity art;Turn unto flesh my heart of stone,Such power belongs to thee alone,Turn into flesh my heart.2 A poor unloving wretch to theeFor help against myself I flee;Thou only canst removeThe hindrances out of thy way,And soften my unyielding clay,And mould it into love.3 O let thy Spirit shed abroadThe love, the perfect love of God,In this cold heart of mine!O might he now descend, and rest,And dwell forever in my breast,And make me all divine.4 What shall I do my suit to gain?O Lamb of God, for sinners slain,I plead what thou hast done:Didst thou not die the death for me?Jesu, remember Calvary,And break this heart of stone.5 Take the dear purchase of thy blood,My friend, and advocate with God,My ransom and my peace,Surety, who all my debt hast paid,For all my sins atonement made,The Lord my righteousness.6 Why didst thou leave thy throne above,But that the secret of thy loveMight to my soul be known?Hast thou not giv’n thyself for me,That I might only live to thee,Might die to thee alone?7 Be it according to thy will,In me thy mystic love reveal,And all in earth and heavenShall own that I their love outvie:There’s none can love so much as I,None hath so much forgiven.

O Jesu, let me kiss thy Name!
What is the World?
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #26 (1854) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics:
What is the World?--a wildering maze,
Where sin hath track'd ten thousand ways,
Her victims to ensnare;
All broad, and winding, and aslope,
All tempting with perfidious hope,
All ending in despair.
25
Millions of pilgrims throng those roads,
Bearing their baubles or their loads,
Down to eternal night;
--One only path that never bends,
Narrow, and rough, and steep, ascends
From darkness into light.
Is there no guide to show that path?
The Bible!--He alone who hath
The Bible need not stray;
But He who hath, and will not give
That light of life to all that live,
Himself shall lose the way.
