The Angel in the Prison

Author: J. G. Adams Hymnal: BHPPD866 #579 (1866) Person Name: J. G. Adams First Line: God's angels! not only on high do they sing Lyrics: God’s angels! not only on high do they sing, And soar through our skies with invisible wing; But here, on the earth, where in wretchedness lie Its sin-stricken children to struggle and die. They come, in their mercy and power, to dispel The spectres of gloom from the prisoner’s cell; In love’s name to say to the stricken one there, That God still hath ear, and an answer to prayer. And strong grows the heart of the outcast—and soon In that dim prison come the pure light-gleams of noon; The resolve and the faith of the sinner forgiven, Send him back to the world with a heart seeking heaven. God’s angels! Love speed them o’er earth’s wide domain! New aids to impart, and new triumphs to gain; Till the wrathful and wrong from our world shall retire, And humanity’s groans in her praises expire. For the promise of truth—though the doubting deny— Is, that love shall prevail in the earth as on high; Its life-waters healing, wherever they flow, With the angels above, or the angels below.

Nearer to Thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: BHPPD866 #239 (1866) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Sarah F. Adams First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee Lyrics: Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E’en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be,— Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Though, like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I’d be Nearer, my God, to Thee,— Nearer to Thee! There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee,— Nearer to Thee! Then with my waking thoughts, Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs, Bethel I’ll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee,— Nearer to Thee! Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly; Still all my song shall be,— Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Languages: English

Thy Will Be Done!

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: BHPPD866 #264 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Sarah F. Adams First Line: He sendeth sun, He sendeth shower Lyrics: He sendeth sun, He sendeth shower; Alike they’re needful for the flower; And joys and tears alike are sent To give the soul fit nourishment: As comes to me or cloud or sun, Father, Thy will, not mine, be done! Can loving children e’er reprove With murmurs whom they trust and love? Creator! I would ever be A trusting, loving child to Thee As comes to me or cloud or sun, Father, Thy will, not mine, be done! O, ne’er will I at life repine! Enough that Thou hast made it mine. When falls the shadow cold of death, I yet will sing, with parting breath,— As comes to me or shade or sun, Father, Thy will, not mine, be done! Languages: English

The Strength of Hope

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: BHPPD866 #274 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Sarah F. Adams First Line: The world may change from old to new Lyrics: The world may change from old to new, From new to old again; Yet hope and heaven, forever true, Within man’s heart remain. The dreams that bless the weary soul, The struggles of the strong, Are steps towards some happy goal, The story of hope’s song. Hope leads the child to plant the flower, The man to sow the seed; Nor leaves fulfilment to her hour,— But prompts again to deed. And ere upon the old man’s dust The grass is seen to wave, We look through falling tears, to trust Hope’s sunshine on the grave. O, no! it is no flattering lure, No fancy weak or fond, When hope would bid us rest secure In better life beyond. Nor love, nor shame, nor grief, nor sin, Her promise may gainsay; The voice divine hath spoke within, And God did ne’er betray. Languages: English

Blessed dews and tears that yet Lift us nearer unto heaven! Let us still His praise repeat, Who in mercy all hath given. Languages: English

The Angel at the Tomb

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: BHPPD866 #347 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Sarah F. Adams First Line: The mourners came, at break of day Lyrics: The mourners came, at break of day, Unto the garden sepulchre, With saddened hearts to weep and pray For him, the loved one, buried there. What radiant light dispels the gloom? An angel sits beside the tomb. The earth doth mourn her treasures lost, All sepulchred beneath the snow, When wintry winds and chilling frost Have laid her summer glories low; The spring returns, the flow’rets bloom,— An angel sits beside the tomb. Then mourn we not beloved dead, E’en while we come to weep and pray; The happy spirit hath but fled To brighter realms of heavenly day; Immortal hope dispels the gloom;— An angel sits beside the tomb.

In Time of War

Author: Aikin Hymnal: BHPPD866 #580 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Aikin First Line: While sounds of war are heard around Lyrics: While sounds of war are heard around, And death and ruin strew the ground, To Thee we look, on Thee we call, The Parent and the Lord of all. Thou, who hast stamped on human kind The image of a heaven-born mind, And in a Father’s wide embrace Hast cherished all the kindred race; Great God! whose powerful hand can bind The raging waves, the furious wind, O bid the human tempest cease, And hush the maddening world to peace. With reverence may each hostile land Hear and obey that high command, Thy Son’s blest errand from above— “My children, live in mutual love!” Languages: English

God Our Refuge

Author: Alford Hymnal: BHPPD866 #255 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Alford First Line: God is our refuge and our strength Lyrics: God is our refuge and our strength, When trouble’s hour is near; A very present help is He; Therefore we will not fear. Although the pillars of the earth Shall clean removed be, The very mountains carried forth, And cast into the sea; Although the waters rage and swell, So that the earth shall shake; Yea, and the solid mountain roots Shall with the tempest quake; There is a river that makes glad The city of our God; The tabernacle’s holy place Of the Most High’s abode. The Lord is in the midst of her, Removed she shall not be; Because the Lord our God himself Shall help her speedily. The Lord our strength and refuge is, When trouble’s hour is near; A very present help is He; Therefore we will not fear. Languages: English

Morning Hymn

No sinful word, nor deed of wrong, Nor thoughts that idly rove, But simple truth be on our tongue, And in our hearts be love. And while the hours in order flow, Securely keep, O God, Our hearts, beleaguered by the foe That tempts our every road. And grant that to Thine honor, Lord, Our daily toil may tend; That we begin it at Thy word, And in Thy favor end. Languages: English

The House of God

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #4 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Anonymous First Line: Be still! be still! for all around Lyrics: Be still! be still! for all around, On either hand, is holy ground: Here in His house, the Lord to-day Will listen, while His people pray. Thou, tost upon the waves of care, Ready to sink with deep despair, Here ask relief, with heart sincere, And thou shalt find that God is here. Thou who hast laid within the grave Those whom thou hadst no power to save, Believe their spirits now are near, For angels wait while God is here. Thou who hast dear ones far away, In foreign lands, ’mid ocean’s spray, Pray for them now, and dry the tear, And trust the God who listens here. Thou who art mourning o’er thy sin, Deploring guilt that reigns within, The God of peace is ever near; The troubled spirit meets Him here. Languages: English

Thy face we seek: Grant us that blessed peace to share, Known to the pure and meek. Come then to holy prayer, Souls that seem lost in night; Leave to the Lord your heavy care, Who giveth life and light. Come with a trusting prayer, Though fears press down your souls; The Saviour’s promise, “I am there,” Each saddening fear controls. Here, in this place of prayer, Let hearts in union meet: Come, cast the load you cannot bear Low at the Saviour’s feet. Then from this house of prayer Shall mingling praise be given, And angels, ’mid the holy air, Shall bear the notes to heaven. Languages: English
