Great God, what do I see and hear!

Author: Dr. Cotterill; Dr. Collyer Hymnal: HRGC1892 #37 (1894) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Great God! what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet Him! 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies; With joy their Lord surrounding: No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing; For they shall rise and find their tears And sighs are unavailing; The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling, they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 Great God, to Thee my spirit clings, Thy boundless love declaring; One wondrous sight my comfort brings, The Judge my nature wearing. Beneath His cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Him. Amen.

Glory to Thee, O Lord

Author: Mrs. Emma Toke Hymnal: HRGC1892 #147 (1894) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, O Lord, Who, from this world of sin, By cruel Herod's ruthless sword Those precious ones didst win. 2 Baptized in their own blood, Earth's untried perils o'er, They passed unconsciously the flood, And safely gained the shore. 3 Glory to Thee for all The ransomed infant band, Who since that hour have heard Thy call, And reached the quiet land. 4 Oh, that our hearts within, Like theirs, were pure and bright; Oh, that as free from deeds of sin We shrank not from Thy sight. 5 Lord, help us every hour Thy cleansing grace to claim; In life to glorify Thy power, In death to praise Thy Name. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Holy Innocents Languages: English Tune Title: [Glory to Thee, O Lord]

God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons

Author: Dennis Wortman Hymnal: HRGC1892 #280 (1894) Lyrics: 1 God of the prophets! Bless the prophets' sons: Elijah's mantle o'er Elisha cast; Each age its solemn task may claim but once; Make each one nobler, stronger than the last! 2 Anoint them prophets! Make their ears attend To Thy divinest speech; their hearts awake To human need; their lips make eloquent To assure the right, and every evil break. 3 Anoint them priests! Strong intercessors they For pardon, and for charity and peace! Ah, if with them the world might pass, astray, Into the dear Christ's life of sacrifice! 4 Anoint them kings! Aye, kingly kings, O Lord! Anoint them with the Spirit of Thy Son: Theirs, not a jewelled crown, a blood-stained sword; Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won. 5 Make them apostles! Heralds of Thy cross, Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace: Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss, And stand at last with joy before Thy face. 6 O mighty age of prophet-kings, return! O truth, O faith, enrich our urgent time! Lord Jesus Christ, again with us sojourn: A weary world awaits Thy reign sublime! Amen.

May Thy light and love descending Shed their radiant joys around, So shall man reveal Thy glory: Earth, like heaven, be hallowed ground! Amen.

Great Shepherd of the sheep

Author: Bogatzky Hymnal: HRGC1892 #571 (1894) Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd of the sheep, Who all Thy flock doth keep, Leading by waters calm; Do Thou my footsteps guide, To follow by Thy side; Make me Thy little lamb, Make me Thy little lamb. 2 I fear I may be torn By many a sharp-set thorn, As far from Thee I stray; My weary feet may bleed, For rough are paths which lead Out of Thy pleasant way. 3 But when the road is long, Thy tender arm, and strong, The weary one will bear; And Thou wilt wash me clean, And lead to pastures green, Where all the flowers are fair. 4 Till, from the soil of sin Cleansed and made pure within, Dear Saviour, Who hast died, Thou bringest me in love, Save to Thy fould above, Forever to abide.
