Long ago the lilies faded
Author: William G. Tarrant Appears in 25 hymnals Used With Tune: SANCTUM
Long ago the lilies faded
Take Thy Pastor's Prayer And Blessing
Author: James Holme Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Take thy pastor’s prayer and blessing Lyrics:
1 Take thy pastor’s prayer and blessing
Ere thou goest from his care;
Peace with God in Christ possessing,
May thy soul His mercies share.
2 Bear in mind the promise spoken
At the altar of the Lord;
Tremble lest the vow be broken,
And sin’s wages thy reward.
3 Joy and love and hope o’erflowing
Shall thy happy portion be,
If thy soul with fervor glowing
Cleave to Jesus steadfastly.
4 Sorrow’s path may lie before thee;
But if Christ be all thy stay,
Thou art passing on to glory,
And His grace will smooth the way.
5 Let thy prayers be daily offered
With a strong adoring faith,
In the name of Him who suffered
To redeem thy soul from death.
6 May each sun that o’er thee shineth
See thee feeding on His word,
Till at last when strength declineth,
Thou art meet to join thy Lord.
7 And, when life’s last hour is ending,
May thy loved ones see thee blest;
Unto Christ thy soul commending
As it gains its heav’nly rest.

James Holme
1801 - 1882 Author of "Take Thy Pastor's Prayer And Blessing" in The Cyber Hymnal Holme, James, B.A., son of T. Holme, Orton, Westmorland, was born in 1801, and educated at Caius College, Cambridge (B.A. 1825). Ordained in 1825, he held successively the Incumbency of Low Harrowgate, the Vicarage of Kirkleatham, and the charge of Bolton, near Bradford. He died in 1882. He published Leisure Musings and Devotions, &c, 1835; Mount Grace Abbey, a poem, 1843, and with his brother, the Rev. T. Holme (q.v.), Hymns & Sacred Poetry, Christian Book Society, 1861. From this last work, "All things are ours, how abundant the treasure" (Praise in Sickness), in Snepp's Songs of Grace & Glory, 1872, is taken. "God my Father, hear me pray" (Lent), in the Anglican Hymn Book, 1868, is attributed to him, and dated 1861. It is, however, from his Leisure Musings, 1835, p. 117, in 4 stanzas of 6 lines, but it is not in the Hymns & Sacred Poetry. His hymn, "Lord Jesus, God of grace and love" (Holy Communion), is from the Hymns & Sacred Poetry, 1861. These works are worthy of the attention of compilers of children's hymnbooks.
