Author: P. Doddridge; E. Osler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fountain of good, to own Thy love Our thankful hearts incline; What can we render, Lord, to Thee, When all the worlds are Thine? 2 But Thou hast needy brethren here, Partakers of Thy grace, Whose names Thou wilt Thyself confess Before the Father's face. 3 In each sad accent of distress Thy pleading voice is heard; In them Thou may'st be clothed and fed And visited and cheered. 4 Help us then, Lord, Thy yoke to wear, And joy to do Thy will; Each other's burdens gladly bear, And love's sweet law fulfill. 5 Thy face with reverence and with love We in Thy poor would see; And while we minister to them, Would do it as to Thee. 6 Do Thou, O Lord, our alms accept, And with Thy blessing speed; Bless us in giving; greatly bless Our gifts to them that need. Amen. Topics: Almsgiving; Almsgiving and Charities; Love to Man; Sympathy Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song

Author: F. R. Havergal Meter: 13.13.13.14 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song; As on the King's own highway, We bravely march along. From glory unto glory! O word of stirring cheer, As dawns the solemn brightness of another glad New Year. 2 From glory unto glory! What great things He hath done, What wonders He hath shown us, what triumphs He hath won! From glory unto glory! What mighty blessings crown The lives for which our Lord laid His own so freely down! 3 The fullness of His blessing encompasseth our way; The fullness of His promises crowns every brightening day; The fullness of His glory is beaming from above, While more and more we learn to know the fullness of His love. 4 And closer yet and closer the golden bonds shall be, Uniting all who love our Lord in pure sincerity; And wider yet and wider shall the circling glory glow, As more and more are taught of God that mighty love to know. 5 Oh, let our adoration for all that He hath done, Peal out beyond the stars of God, while voice and life are one; And let our consecration be real, deep, and true: Oh, even now our hearts shall bow, and joyful vows renew. 6 Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go, While grace for grace abundantly shall from His fullness flow, To glory's full fruition, from glory's foretaste here, Until His very presence crown our happiest New Year. Amen. Topics: The New Year; New Year; Processionals New Year Used With Tune: BERTHOLD

Lord, when we bend before Thy throne

Author: J. D. Carlyle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 326 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we bend before Thy throne, And our confessions pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore. 2 Our broken spirits, pitying, see; True penitence impart; Then let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart. 3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign; And not a thought our bosom share Which is not wholly Thine. 5 Let faith each weak petition fill, And waft it to the skies; And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still That grants it, or denies. Amen. Topics: General; Lent; Penitence Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM
