Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1,833 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:11 Lyrics: 1. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.
2. Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me thro' the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

O Day of Rest and Gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 814 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:13-14 Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
most beautiful, most bright;
on you the high and lowly,
through ages joined in tune,
sing "Holy, holy, holy,"
to the great God triune,
2 On you, at the creation,
the light first had its birth;
on you, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
on you our Lord, victorious,
the Spirit sent from heav'n;
and thus on you, most glorious,
a triple light was giv'n.
3 You are a port protected
from storms that round us rise;
a garden intersected
with streams of paradise;
you are a cooling fountain
in life's dry, dreary sand;
from you, like Pisgah's mountain,
we view the promised land.
4 Today on weary nations
the heav'nly manna falls;
to holy convocations
the silver trumpet calls,
where gospel light is glowing
with pure and radiant beams,
and living water flowing
with soul-refreshing streams.
5 New graces ever gaining
from this our day of rest,
we reach the rest remaining
to spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
to Father and to Son;
the church her voice upraises
to you, blest Three in One.

secured the world's salvation!
3 Come, dearest child, into our hearts,
and leave your crib behind you!
Let this be where the new life starts
for all who seek and find you.

Oh, that I could repent! Oh, that I could believe!

The rock in sunder cleave!

My soul and spirit part;
Strike with the hammer of thy word,
And break my stubborn heart.
2 Saviour, and Prince of peace,
The double grace bestow,
Unloose the bands of wickedness,
And let the captive go;
Grant me my sins to feel,
And then the load remove;
Wound, and pour in my wounds, to heal,
The balm of pardoning love.
3 For thine own mercy's sake,
The hindrance now remove,
And into thy protection take
The prisoner of thy love;
In every trying hour
Stand by my feeble soul,
And screen me from my nature's power,
Till thou hast made me whole.
4 This is thy will, I know,
That I should holy be,
Should let my sins this moment go,
This moment turn to thee:
Oh, might I now embrace
Thine all-sufficient power,
And nevermore to sin give place,
And never grieve thee more.

Attend, and mark the solemn fast
which to the Lord is dear;
Disdain the false unhallowed mask
which vain dissemblers wear.
Do I delight In sorrow’s dress?
saith he who reigns above;
The hanging head and rueful look,
will they attract my love?
Let such as feel oppression’s load
thy tender pity share:
And let the helpless, homeless poor,
be thy peculiar care.
Go, bid the hungry orphan be
with thy abundance blest;
Invite the wand’rer to thy gate,
and spread the couch of rest.

Let him who pines with piercing cold
by thee be warmed and clad;
Be thine the blissful task to make
the downcast mourner glad.
Then, bright as morning, shall come forth,
in peace and joy, thy days;
And glory from the Lord above
shall shine on all thy ways.

Now God Be with Us, for the Night Is Closing
Author: Petrus Herbert; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:8 Lyrics: 1 Now God be with us, for the night is closing:
The light and darkness are of His disposing,
And 'neath His shadow here to rest we yield us,
For He will shield us.
2 Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us,
Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us,
All day serve Thee, in all that we are doing,
Thy praise pursuing.
3 We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us,
Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us;
But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely
Who seek Thee only.
4 Father, Thy name be praised, Thy Kingdom given,
Thy will be done on earth as 'tis in heaven;
Keep us in life, forgive our sins, deliver
Us now and ever!
Amen. Topics: Contentment; Evening; God Presence; Lord's Prayer, The; Rest; Worship Evening Used With Tune: FLEMMING

Blessed Jesus, at Your Word
Author: Tobias Clausnitzer; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.8.8 Appears in 146 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:13-14 Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, at your word
we are gathered all to hear you;
let our hearts and souls be stirred
now to seek and love and fear you;
by your teachings true and holy,
drawn from earth to love you solely.
2 All our knowledge, sense, and sight
lie in deepest darkness shrouded,
till your Spirit breaks our night
with the beams of truth unclouded;
you alone to God can win us;
you must work all good within us.
3 Glorious Lord, yourself impart!
Light of Light, from God proceeding,
open now our ears and heart,
help us by your Spirit's pleading;
hear the cry that we are raising;
hear, and bless our prayers and praising. Topics: Worship; Christian Education; Education; Worship; Worship Used With Tune: ARNHEIM
