At Cana, Lord, Thou didst appear

Author: John Berridge Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At Cana, Lord, Thou didst appear To grace a marriage feast; We ask Thee likewise to be here, And be a wedding guest. 2 Upon the wedded pair look down, Who now have plighted hands; Their union with Thy favor crown, And bless their nuptial bands. 3 With gifts of grace their hearts endow, Of all rich dowries best! Their substance bless, and peace bestow, To sweeten all the rest. 4 In purest love their souls unite, That they, with Christian care, May make domestic burdens light, By taking mutual share. 5 True helpers may they prove indeed, In prayer and faith and hope; And see with joy a godly seed To build their household up. 6 On ev'ry soul assembled here, O make Thy face to shine; Thy goodness more our hearts can cheer Than richest food or wine.

Author: J. Ellerton Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord, a little space From daily tasks set free, And met within Thy holy place To rest awhile with Thee. 2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide Of business, toil, and care; And scarcely can we turn aside For one brief hour of prayer. 3 Yet these are not the only walls Wherein Thy mayst be sought; On homeliest work Thy blessing falls In truth and patience wrought. 4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart, The wealth of land and sea, The worlds of science and of art, Revealed and ruled by Thee. 5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth, In all we do and know; And claim the kingdom of the earth For Thee and not Thy foe. 6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought As Thou wouldst have it done, And prayer, by Thee inspired and taught, Itself with work be one.

Sweet Was The Time When First I Felt

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 343 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet was the time when first I felt The Savior’s pardoning blood Applied, to cleanse my soul from guilt, And bring me home to God. 2 Soon as the morn the light revealed, His praises tuned my tongue; And when the evening shades prevailed, His love was all my song. 3 In vain the tempter spread his wiles, The world no more could charm; I lived upon my Savior’s smiles, And leaned upon His arm. 4 In prayer my soul drew near the Lord, And saw His glory shine; And when I read His holy Word, I called each promise mine. 5 Then to His saints I often spoke; Of what His love had done; But now my heart is almost broke, For all my joys are gone. 6 Now when the evening shade prevails, My soul in darkness mourns, And when the morn the light reveals, No light to me returns. 7 My prayers are now a chattering noise, For Jesus hides His face; I read, the promise meets my eyes, But will not reach my case. 8 Now Satan threatens to prevail, And make my soul his prey; Yet, Lord, Thy mercies cannot fail, O come without delay.

Author: Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, humble soul, receive the food Your Savior offers here, Believe, and taste that He is good, And fain each soul would cheer. 2 Deem not that you to heav'n can rise, To meet your Savior there, He comes in mercy from the skies That you His bliss may share. 3 Here we commune with Him who died, Us power o'er death to give, The life of Him now glorified We here receive, and live. 4 For 'tis His body that we eat, His precious blood we drink, To make us for His mansion meet, And save from ruin's brink. 5 He ever lives, and only He, In whom the Lord abides, And here, that He in us may be, He richest food provides.

Jesus, Great Shepherd Of The Sheep

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, great shepherd of the sheep, To Thee for help we fly; Thy little flock in safety keep, For O! the wolf is nigh. 2 He comes of hellish malice full, To scatter, tear and slay; He seizes every straggling soul, As his own lawful prey. 3 Us into Thy protection take, And gather with Thine arm; Unless the fold we first forsake, The wolf can never harm. 4 We laugh to scorn his cruel power, While by our shepherd’s side; The sheep he never can devour Unless he first divide. 5 O do not suffer him to part The souls that here agree; But make us of one mind and heart, And keep us one in Thee! 6 Together let us sweetly live, Together let us die; And each a starry crown receive, And reign above the sky. 7 Keep us till then in perfect peace, And call us each to prove An endless age of heavenly bliss, An endless age of love.

Author: David H. Ela Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The chosen three, on mountain hight, While Jesus bowed in prayer, Beheld his vesture glow with light, His face shine wondrous fair. 2 And lo! with the transfigured Lord, Leader and seer they saw; With Carmel's hoary prophet stood The giver of the law. 3 From the low-bending cloud above, Whence radiant brightness shone, Spake out the Father's voice of love, "Hear my beloved Son!" 4 Lord, lead us to the mountain hight; To prayer's transfiguring glow; And clothe us with the Spirit's might, For grander work below.
