Long have I sat beneath the sound
Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #53 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ABRIDGE Lyrics: 1 Long have I sat beneath the sound
Of thy salvation, Lord;
But still how weak my faith is found,
And knowledge of Thy Word!
2 My Hope, my Portion, and my God,
How little art Thou known
By all the judgments of Thy rod,
And blessings of Thy throne!
3 How cold and feeble is my love
How negligent my fear!
How low my hope of joys above!
How few affections there!
4 Great God, Thy sovereign power impart
To give Thy Word success;
Write Thy salvation in my heart,
And make me learn Thy grace.
5 Show my forgetful feet the way
That leads to joys on high;
There knowledge grows without decay,
And love shall never die. Topics: Worship; Worship Public Worship; Sexagesima Sunday Languages: English
Long have I sat beneath the sound
Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
Author: Watts Hymnal: CBWM1872 #101 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ABRIDGE Lyrics: 1 Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
How high thy wonders rise!
Known through the earth by thousand signs,
By thousands through the skies.
2 Those mighty orbs proclaim Thy power,
Their motions speak Thy skill;
And on the wings of every hour
We read Thy patience still.
3 But when we view Thy grand design
To save rebellious worms,
Where justice and compassion join
In their divinest forms;
4 Our thoughts are lost in reverent awe:
We love and we adore;
Thy first archangel never saw
So much of God before.
5 Then sinners break the Father's laws,
The dying Son atones;
Oh, the dear mysteries of His Cross!
The triumph of His groans! Topics: Sin and Redemption; Epiphany, Fifth Sunday; Septuagesima Sunday; Quinquagesima Sunday; Lent, Second Sunday; Third Sunday after Trinity Languages: English
Father, how wide Thy glory shines!
O for a Faith that will not shrink
Author: William Hiley Bathurst Hymnal: CBWM1872 #411 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ABRIDGE Lyrics: 1 O for a Faith that will not shrink,
Though prest by many a foe;
That will not tremble on the brink
Of poverty or woe;
2 That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod:
But in the hour of grief or pain
Can lean upon its God.
3 A Faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt:
4 That bears unmoved the world's dread frown,
Nor heeds its scornful smile;
That sin's wild ocean cannot drown,
Nor Satan's arts beguile:
5 A Faith that keeps the narrow way
Till life's last hour is fled,
And with a pure and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
6 Lord, give us such a Faith as this,
And then whate'er may come,
We'll taste e'en here the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Topics: The Christian Life Trust; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Languages: English

And grant our souls release.

Sustain us by Thy Word;
That we with all Thy people
To life may be restored.
3 Abide with us, our Saviour,

And save us by Thy might.

Eternal One in Three,
As was, and is for ever,

Created, make reply.

With palms before Thee went;

They sang their hymns of praise;
To Thee, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise.
6 Thou didst accept their praises,
Accept the prayers we bring,
Who in all good delightest,
Thou good and gracious King! Topics: Praise to Christ; Palm Sunday; Sundays in Lent; Lent, Sixth Sunday; Eighteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English

Walking always at His side,

Through the river's rushing tide,
With the blest to sing for ever;

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. Topics: Sin and Redemption; Quinquagesima Sunday; Lent, Second Sunday; Third Sunday after Trinity; Twelfth Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English

Day divine, when in the temple

Here the Holy Ghost to hail!

Full on us may fall the fire!

By those ancient saints alone?

Call the Comforter their own?

We beseech the Holy Spirit;
We the Comforter would win. Topics: Whitsunday; Whit-Sunday Languages: English

They rest in perfect love.

While with ceaseless course the sun
Author: John Newton Hymnal: CBWM1872 #139 (1890) Tune Title: ALLE MENSCHEN MÜSSEN STERBEN Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun
Hasted through the former year,
Many souls their race have run,
Never more to meet us here;
Fixed in an eternal state,
They have done with all below;
We a little longer wait,
But how little, none can know.
2 As the wingéd arrow flies
Speedily, the mark to find;
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind;
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream:
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise;
All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive,
Pardon of our sins renew;
Teach us henceforth how to live
With eternity in view.
Bless Thy word to young and old,
Fill us with a Saviour's love;
And when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with Thee above. Topics: New Year; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day Languages: English

Up to Thee myself I yield,
And my sorrows are Thine own.

Letting life float calmly on;
For I know the last is best,
When the crown of joy is won.

In thy Love find bitter sweet,
And with all my grief and care
Sit in patience at Thy feet.

O’er me; keep me close to Thee;

Let me dwell eternally.

Let me only seek Thy will.

All is peaceful, calm and still. Topics: The Christian Life Trust; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English

Toward heaven, thy native place.
Sun, and moon, and stars decay;
Time shall soon this earth remove;

O Thou, to whose all-searching sight
The spacious firmament on high
Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: CBWM1872 #79 (1890) Tune Title: ANGELS' SONG Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high,
With all the blue ethereal sky,
And spangled heavens, a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
2 The unwearied sun from day to day
Does his Creator's power display,
And publishes to every land
The work of an Almighty Hand.
3 Soon as the evening shades prevail,
The moon takes up the wondrous tale;
And nightly to the listening earth
Repeats the story of her birth:
4 Whilst all the stars that round her burn,
And all the planets in their turn,
Confirm the tidings as they roll
And spread the truth from pole to pole.
5 What though in solemn silence all
Move round this dark terrestrial ball,
What though no real voice nor sound
Amidst their radiant orbs be found;
6 In reason's ear they all rejoice,
And utter forth a glorious voice,
Forever singing as they shine,
"The Hand that made us is divine." Topics: Creation Languages: English

By which supported still we stand:
The opening year Thy mercy shows;
Let mercy crown it, till it close.
2 By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still we are guarded by our God;
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
3 With grateful hearts the past we own;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful, leave before Thy feet.
4 In scenes exalted or deprest,
Be Thou our joy, and Thou our rest;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
5 When death shall interrupt our songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues;
Our Helper God, in whom we trust,
In better worlds our souls shall boast. Topics: New Year; Circumcision; Name of Christ; New Years Day Languages: English

God of my life, to Thee I call!
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: CBWM1872 #480 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ANGELUS Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call!
Afflicted at Thy feet I fall;
When the great water-floods prevail,
Leave not my trembling heart to fail!
2 Friend of the friendless and the faint!
Where should I lodge my deep complaint?
Where but with Thee, whose open door
Invites the helpless and the poor?
3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee,
And Thou refuse that mourner's plea?
Does not the word still fixed remain,
That none shall seek Thy face in vain?
4 That were a grief I could not bear,
Didst Thou not hear and answer prayer;
But a prayer-hearing, answering God
Supports me under every load.

I have an Advocate with Thee;
They whom the world caresses most
Have no such privilege to boast.
6 Poor though I be, despised, forgot,
Yet God, my God, forgets me not;
And he is safe, and must succeed,
For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead. Topics: The Cross and Comfort; The Cross and Comfort In Outward Suffering; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty First Sunday after Trinity Languages: English

Lord, in Thy kingdom there shall be
Author: Joseph Anstice Hymnal: CBWM1872 #276 (1890) Tune Title: ANSTICE Lyrics: 1 Lord, in Thy kingdom there shall be
No aliens from each other,
But even as he loves himself
Each saint shall love his brother.
2 When in Thy courts below we meet
To mourn our sinful living,
And with united hearts repeat
Confession,creed, thanksgiving:
3 Make us to hear in each sweet word
Thy Holy Spirit calling
To oneness with Thy Church and Thee,
That heavenly bond forestalling.
4 One Baptism and one faith have we,
One Spirit sent to win us,
One Lord, one Father, and one God,
Above, and through, and in us.
5 Never, by schism, or by sin,
May we that union sever,
Till all, to perfect stature grown,
Are one with Thee for ever.

Bow down with one accord;
Before whose throne shall every tongue
Confess that Thou art Lord:

Didst equal honor claim;
Yet, to redeem our guilty souls,
Didst stoop to death and shame!
4 O may that mind in us be formed,
Which shone so bright in Thee;
An humble, meek, and lowly mind,
From pride and envy free!

To emulate Thy love;
So shall we bear Thine image here,
And share Thy throne above.

2 O let Thy love within us dwell,
Thy fear our footsteps guide!
That love shall vainer love expel,
That fear all fears beside.

Too oft, with stubborn will,
We blindly shun the latent good,
And grasp the specious ill:
4 Not what we wish, but what we want,
Let mercy still supply:
The good, unasked, let mercy grant,
The ill, though asked, deny.

To set the captive free;
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing;

Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.

Upon the fruitful earth;
And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.

Shall peace, the herald, go;
And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.

And daily vows ascend;

A kingdom without end.

Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent:

Vain regrets for things as vain:
Lips too seldom taught to praise.

Lord, hear me, I implore Thee!
Bend down Thy gracious ear to me,
Let my prayer come before Thee!
If Thou remember each misdeed,
If each should have its rightful meed,
Who may abide Thy presence?
2 Our pardon is Thy gift; Thy Love
And grace alone avail us.
Our works could ne'er our guilt remove,
The strictest life must fail us.
That none may boast himself of aught,
But own in fear Thy grace hath wrought
What in him seemeth righteous.
3 And thus my hope is in the Lord,
And not in mine own merit;
I rest upon His faithful word
To them of contrite spirit.
That He is merciful and just,--
Here is my comfort and my trust,
His help I wait with patience.
4 And though it tarry till the night,
And round till morning waken,
My heart shall ne'er mistrust Thy might,
Nor count itself forsaken.
Do thus, O ye of Israel's seed,
Ye of the Spirit born indeed,
Wait for your God's appearing.
5 Though great our sins and sore our woes,
His grace much more aboundeth;
His helping love no limit knows,
Our utmost need it soundeth.

Who shall at last set Israel free
From all their sin and sorrow. Topics: The Order of Salvation Repentance; Quinquagesima Sunday; Sundays in Lent; Twelfth Sunday after Trinity; Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English

Would light on some sweet promise there,
