Autumn

Author: Henry F. Lyte Appears in 1,304 hymnals First Line: Jesus I my cross have taken Lyrics: 1 Jesus I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee, Naked, poor, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shalt be; Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known, Yet how rich is my condition, God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior too; Human hearts and looks deceive me— Thou art not like them untrue; Oh! while Thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate, and friends disown me, Show Thy face, and all is bright. 3 Haste then on from grace to glory, Armed by faith, and winged by prayer! Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there; Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Soon shall pass thy earthly days, Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Gently Lord, O Gently Lead Us

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 483 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Gently Lord, O gently lead us, Pilgrims in this vale of tears, Through the trials yet decreed us, Till our last great change appears. When temptation’s darts assail us, When in devious paths we stray, Let Thy goodness never fail us, Lead us in Thy perfect way. 2. In the hour of pain and anguish, In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish, Suffer not our souls to fear; And, when mortal life is ended, Bid us in Thine arms to rest, Till, by angel bands attended, We awake among the blest.

Lord, With Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 280 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless. Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: AUTUMN

There's a Light upon the Mountains

Author: Henry Burton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1. There’s a light upon the mountains, And the day is at the spring, When our eyes shall see the beauty And the glory of the King: Weary was our heart with waiting, And the night watch seemed so long, But His triumph day is breaking And we hail it with a song. 2. In the fading of the starlight We may see the coming morn; And the lights of men are paling In the splendors of the dawn; For the eastern skies are glowing As with light of hidden fire, And the hearts of men are stirring With the throbs of deep desire. 3. There’s a hush of expectation And a quiet in the air And the breath of God is moving In the fervent breath of prayer; For the suffering, dying Jesus Is the Christ upon the throne, And the travail of our spirit Is the travail of His own. 4. He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way; He is calling for His angels To build up the gates of day: But His angels here are human, Not the shining hosts above; For the drum beats of His army Are the heartbeats of our love. 5. Hark! we hear a distant music And it comes with fuller swell; ’Tis the triumph song of Jesus, Of our King, Immanuel! Go ye forth with joy to meet Him! And, my soul, be swift to bring All thy sweetest and thy dearest For the triumph of our King! Used With Tune: AUTUMN
