O God, unseen, yet ever near

Author: E. Osler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 137 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, unseen yet ever near, Thy presence may we feel; And thus inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. 2 Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy love, The streams that through the desert flow, The manna from above. 3 We come, obedient to Thy word, To feast on heavenly food; Our meat the Body of the Lord, Our drink his precious Blood. 4 Thus may we all Thy word obey, For we, O God, are Thine; And go rejoicing on our way, Renewed with strength divine. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Used With Tune: BEDFORD

O Help Us Lord, Each Hour of Need

Author: Henry H. Milman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 193 hymnals First Line: O help us, Lord, each hour of need Lyrics: 1. O help us, Lord, each hour of need Thy heavenly succor give; Help us in thought, and word, and deed, Each hour on earth we live. 2. O help us, when our spirits bleed With contrite anguish sore; And when our hearts are cold and dead, O help us, Lord, the more. 3. O help us through the prayer of faith More firmly to believe; For still the more the servant hath, The more shall he receive. 4. If, strangers to Thy fold, we call, Imploring at Thy feet The crumbs that from Thy table fall, ’Tis all we dare entreat. 5. But be it, Lord of mercy, all, So Thou wilt grant but this: The crumbs that from Thy table fall Are light, and life, and bliss. 6. O help us, Jesu, from on high, We know no help but Thee; O help us to so to live and die, As Thine in Heav’n to be.

The Head that once was crowned with thorns

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 532 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His by sovereign right: The King of kings and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. 3 The joy of all who dwell above, The joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love, And grants His name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name, an everlasting name, Their joy, the joy of heaven. 5 The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,617 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged neath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.

Frequent the day of God returns

Author: Simon Browne Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 194 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Frequent the day of God returns, To shed its quickening beams; And yet how slow devotion burns, How languid are its flames! 2 Accept my faint attempts to love; Our frailties, Lord, forgive. We would be like Thy saints above, And praise Thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, The Sabbath ne'er shall end; 4 Where we shall breathe in heavenly air, With heavenly lustre shine; Before the throne of God appear, And feast on Love divine.
