Day divine, when in the temple

Author: Thomas H. Gill Hymnal: CBWM1872 #242 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Tune Title: ADORATION Lyrics: 1 Day divine, when in the temple To the first disciples came Glory new and treasure ample, Mighty gifts and tongues of flame! Day to happy souls commended, When the Holy Ghost was given, When the Comforter descended, Bringing down the joy of heaven! 2 Lord, to-day Thy people learneth No new wonder, no strange tale; Lord, to-day Thy people yearneth Here the Holy Ghost to hail! O'er again to write the story Our weak trembling souls aspire: Unto us may come the glory, Full on us may fall the fire! 3 Hath the Holy ghost been holden By those ancient saints alone? Only may the ages olden Call the Comforter their own? Ah, their portion we inherit, Ours the sorrow, ours the sin: We beseech the Holy Spirit; We the Comforter would win.

Blessed Saviour, who hast taught me

Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: CBWM1872 #322 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Tune Title: ADORATION Lyrics: 1 Blessed Saviour, who hast taught me I should live to Thee alone; All these years Thy hand hath brought me, Since I first was made Thine own. At the Font my vows were spoken By my parents in the Lord; That my vows shall be unbroken, At the Altar I record. 2 I would trust in Thy protecting, Wholly rest upon Thine arm; Follow wholly Thy directing, O my only Guard from harm! Meet me now with Thy salvation, In Thy Church’s ordered way; Let me feel Thy Confirmation In Thy truth and fear to-day: 3 So that might and firmness gaining, Hope in danger, joy in grief, Now and evermore remaining In the catholic belief, Resting in the Saviour’s merit, Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength, With Thy Church I may inherit All my Father’s joy at length.

O, what, if we are Christ's

Author: Sir Henry William Baker Hymnal: CBWM1872 #442 (1890) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: ALL SAINTS Lyrics: 1 O, what, if we are Christ's, Is earthly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glory be When we have borne the Cross. 2 Keen was the trial once, Bitter the cup of woe, When martyred saints, baptized in blood, Christ's sufferings shared below. 3 Bright is their glory now, Boundless their joy above, Where on the bosom of their God They rest in perfect love. 4 Lord, may that grace be ours, Like them in faith to bear All that of sorrow, grief, or pain, May be our portion here: 5 Enough, if Thou at last The word of blessing give, And let us rest in Thine own home, Where saints and angels live. 6 All glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom heaven and earth adore; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One God, for evermore.

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.

In Thy might all things I bear, In thy Love find bitter sweet, And with all my grief and care Sit in patience at Thy feet. 3 Let Thy mercy’s wings be spread O’er me; keep me close to Thee; In the peace Thy love doth shed, Let me dwell eternally. Be my All: in all I do Let me only seek Thy will. Where the heart to Thee is true, All is peaceful, calm and still.

Author: John Chandler Hymnal: CBWM1872 #111 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Title: ALSTONE Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's banks the Herald's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh: Come then and harken, for he brings Glad tidings from the King of kings. 2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin, Make straight the way for God within, And let us all our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 For Thou art our Salvation, Lord Our Refuge and our great Reward. Without Thy grace our life must fade, And wither like a flower decayed. 4 Stretch forth Thy hand, to health restore, And make us rise, to fall no more: One more upon Thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. 5 To Him who left the throne of heaven To save mankind, all praise be given: Like praise be to the Father done, And Holy Spirit Three in One.
