There is an hour of hallowed peace
Author: William Bingham Tappan Appears in 145 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of hallowed peace,
For those with care oppress'd,
When sighs and sorr'wing tears shall cease,
And all be hushed to rest:
2 ‘Tis then the soul is freed from fears,
And doubts here here annoy:
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.
3 There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms assail no more;
The stream of endless pleasure flows
On that celestial shore:
4 There purity with love appears,
And bliss without alloy;
Then they that oft had sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy. Used With Tune: SILOAM

Return, O wanderer, return

And seek an injured Father’s face;
Those warm desires that in thee burn,
Were kindled by reclaiming grace.
2 Return, O wanderer, return,
And seek a Father’s melting heart;
His pitying eyes thy grief discern,
His hand can heal thy inward smart.
3 Return, O wanderer, return,
Thy Savior bids thy spirit live;
Go to His bleeding feet, and learn
How freely Jesus can forgive.
4 Return, O wanderer, return,
And wipe away the falling tear:
’Tis God who says, "No longer mourn,"
’Tis mercy’s voice invites thee near. Used With Tune: MISSIONARY CHANT

When we cannot see our way
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Cross and Consolation Lyrics: 1 When we cannot see our way,
Let us trust, and still obey;
He who bids us forward go,
Cannot fail the way to show.
2 Though the sea be deep and wide,
Though a passage be denied;
Fearless let us still proceed,
Since the Lord vouchsafes to lead.
3 Though it seems the gloom of night,
Though we see no ray of light:
Since the Lord Himself is there,
‘Tis not meet that we should fear.
4 Night with Him is never night,
Where He is, there all is light;
When He calls us, why delay?
They are happy who obey.
5 Be it ours then while we’re here,
Him to follow without fear!
Where He calls us, there to go,
What He bids us, that to do. Used With Tune: WEBER

So fades the lovely, blooming flow'r
Author: Anna Steele Appears in 137 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 So fades the lovely, blooming flow'r;
Frail, smiling solace of an hour;
So soon our transient comforts fly,
And pleasure only blooms to die.
2 Is there no kind, no healing art
To soothe the anguish of the heart?
Spirit of grace, be ever nigh;
Thy comforts are not made to die.
3 Let gentle patience smile on pain,
Till dying hope revives again;
Hope wipes the tear from sorrow's eye,
And faith points upward to the sky. Used With Tune: ZEPHYR

The waters of life are now flowing for thee:
No price is demanded, the Savior is here;
Redemption is purchased, salvation is free.
2 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God?
A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood?
3 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace,
Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sink in the vale of eternity's night. Used With Tune: LYONS

To Christ the fountain come.

And freely drink the stream of life,
'Tis Jesus bids him come.

Avail to save and solace me,
Thy death to open heav'n, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.

When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, O leave me nevermore,
But bear me safely through the strife,
As Thou hast promised, into life. Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE

Flows to you, to me, to all,

Here the troubled peace may find;

Break the covenant of His blood,
Signed when our Redeemer died,
Sealed when He was glorified. Used With Tune: KÖNIGSBERG (Gott des Himmels und der Erden)

A refuge strong and sure.

In faith, in hope, and love,
And walk in holiness below
To holiness above. Used With Tune: NAOMI

The God of pow'r, the God of love,
The God of our salvation;
With healing balm my soul He fills,
And ev'ry pain and sorrow stills:
To God all praise and glory!

Thy praise forever telling,
In earth and sky all living things
Beneath Thy shadow dwelling,
Adore the wisdom which could span,
And power which formed, Creation's plan:
To God all praise and glory!

His gracious mercy keepeth;
By morning dawn or evening shade,
His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth;
Within the kingdom of His might,
Lo, all is just and all is right:
To God all praise and glory!

His mercy heard me calling;
My Savior saw my helplessness
And kept my feet from falling;
For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee!
Praise God, I say, praise God with me!
To God all praise and glory!
5 When every earthly hope has flown
From sorrow's sons and daughters,
Our Father from His heavenly throne,
Beholds the troubled waters;
And at His Word the storm is stayed,
Which made His children's heart afraid;
To God all praise and glory!
6 Thus all my pilgrimage along
I'll sing aloud Thy praises,
That men may hear the grateful song
My voice unwearied raises:
Be joyful in the Lord, my heart!
Both soul and body, bear your part:
To God all praise and glory! Used With Tune: SPERATUS (Sei Lob und Ehr' den höchsten Gut)
