Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Easter 7 Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire The watchmen of the Church's youth, Who faced the Foe's envenomed ire, Who witnessed day and night Thy truth, Whose voices loud are ringing still And bringing hosts to know Thy will. 2 Lord, let our earnest pray'r be heard, The pray'r Thy Son hath bid us pray; For lo, Thy children's hearts are stirred In ev'ry land in this our day, To cry with fervent soul to Thee, "O help us, Lord! so let it be!" 3 O haste to help, ere we are lost! Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong. Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy name. 4 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Through ev'ry land be glorified Till all the heathen know its force And fill Thy churches far and wide. Wake Isreal from his sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquest of thy Word! 5 The Church's desert path restore; Let stumbling-blocks that in them lie Hinder Thy Word henceforth no more: Error destroy, and heresy, And let Thy Church, from hirelings free, Bloom as a garden fair to Thee!

And Thou art on Thy Father's throne, In glorious robes arrayed, In glorious robes arrayed. 4 O may Thy mighty love prevail Our sinful souls to spare! O may we come before thy throne And find acceptance there, And find acceptance there! 5 O Christ, be Thou our lasting joy, Our future great reward; Our only glory may it be To glory in the Lord, To glory in the Lord!

Though dust and ashes in your sight, We may, we must draw near. 2 We perish if we cease from prayer; Oh, grant us pow'r to pray. And when to meet you we prepare, Lord, meet us on our way. 3 Give deep humility; the sense Of godly sorrow give; A strong, desire, with confidence, To hear your voice and live; 4 Faith in the only sacrifice That can for sin atone; To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes On Christ, on Christ alone. 5 Give these, and then your will be done; Thus strengthened with all might, We, through your Spirit and your Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life

Author: Frank Mason North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 377 hymnals Topics: Year C Easter 7 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of clan and race, Above the noise of selfish strife, O Christ, we hear your voice of grace. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds fraught with fears, From paths where hide the lures of greed, we catch the vision of your tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, from human grief and burdened toil, From famished souls, from sorrows' stress, we know your heart does not recoil. 4 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; Yet long these multitudes to view the deep compassion of your face. 5 O Savior, from the mountainside, Make haste to heal these hearts of pain; Among these restless throngs abide, O tread the city's streets again: 6 Till all shall learn compassion's might, And follow where your feet have trod, Till glorious from your realm of light Shall come the city of our God.
