Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #589b (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; here faith would touch and handle things unseen; here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God; here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven; here would I lay aside each earthly load; here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 I have no help but thine; nor do I need another arm save thine to lean upon: it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed, my strength is in thy might, thy might alone.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #7 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide: when other helpers fail, and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see: O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; what but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like thyself my guide and strength can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5 Hold thou thy Cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #22 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Saviour, again to thy dear name we raise with one accord our parting hymn of praise; we stand to bless thee ere our worship cease; then, lowly kneeling, wait thy word of peace. 2 Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way; with thee began, with thee shall end, the day: guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, that in this house have called upon thy name. 3 Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night; turn thou for us its darkness into light; from harm and danger keep thy children free, for dark and light are both alike to thee. 4 Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life, our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife; then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace.

O come, Redeemer of mankind, appear

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 339-397; David Thomas Morgan, 1809-1886 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #81 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 O come, Redeemer of mankind, appear, thee with full hearts the Virgin-born we greet; let every age with rapt amazement hear that wondrous birth which for our God is meet. 2 Not by the will of man, or mortal seed, but by the Spirit’s breathed mysterious grace the Word of God became our flesh indeed, and grew a tender plant of human race. 3 Lo! Mary’s virgin womb its burthen bears, nor less abides her virgin purity; in the King’s glory see our nature shares; here in his temple God vouchsafes to be. 4 From his bright chamber, virtue’s holy shrine the royal Bridegroom cometh to the day; of twofold substance, human and divine, as giant swift, rejoicing on His way. 5 Forth from his Father to the world he goes, back to the Father’s face his way regains, far down to souls beneath his glory shows, again at God’s right hand victorious reigns. 6 With the Eternal Father equal, thou, girt with our flesh dost triumph evermore, strengthening our feeble bodies here below with endless grace from thine own living store. 7 How doth thy lowly manger radiant shine! On the sweet breath of night new splendour grows; so may our spirits glow with faith Divine, where no dark cloud of sin shall interpose. 8 All praise and glory to the Father be, all praise and glory to his only son, all praise and glory, Holy Ghost, to thee, both now, and while eternal ages run.

Lord, when thy Kingdom comes, remember me!

Author: William Dalrymple MacLagan, 1826-1910 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #159 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 'Lord, when thy kingdom comes, remember me!' Thus spake the dying lips to dying ears; O faith, which in that darkest hour could see the promised glory of the far-off years! 2 No kingly sign declares that glory now, no ray of hope lights up that awful hour; a thorny crown surrounds the bleeding brow, the hands are stretched in weakness, not in power. 3 Hark! Through the gloom the dying Saviour saith, 'thou too shalt rest in paradise today:' O words of love to answer words of faith! O words of hope for those who live to pray! 4 Lord, when with dying lips my prayer is said, grant that in faith thy Kingdom I may see; and, thinking on thy cross and bleeding head, may breathe my parting words, 'remember me.' *5 Remember me, but not my shame or sin; thy cleansing blood hath washed them all away; thy precious death for me did pardon win; thy blood redeemed me in that awful day. 6 Remember me; and, ere I pass away, speak thou the assuring word that sets us free, and make thy promise to my heart, 'Today thou too shalt rest in paradise with me.'

Filled with the Spirit's power with one accord

Author: John Raphael Peacey, 1896-1971 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #276 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Filled with the Spirit's power, with one accord the infant Church confessed its risen Lord. O Holy Spirit, in the Church today no less your power of fellowship display. 2 Now with the mind of Christ set us on fire, that unity may be our great desire. Give joy and peace; give faith to hear your call, and readiness in each to work for all. 3 Widen our love, good Spirit, to embrace in our strong care the men of every race. Like wind and fire, with life among us move, till we are known as Christ's, and Christians prove. Topics: General Hymns The Holy Spirit Languages: English Tune Title: FARLEY CASTLE

Love of the Father, Love of God the Son

Author: Robert Seymour Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #284 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Love of the Father, Love of God the Son, from whom all came, in whom was all begun; who formest heavenly beauty out of strife, creation's whole desire and breath of life: 2 thou the all-holy, thou supreme in might, thou dost give peace, thy presence maketh right; thou with thy favour all things dost enfold, with thine all-kindness free from harm wilt hold. *3 Hope of all comfort, splendour of all aid, that dost not fail nor leave the heart afraid: to all that cry thou dost all help accord, the angels' armour, and the saints' reward. 4 Purest and highest, wisest and most just, there is no truth save only in thy trust; thou dost the mind from earthly dreams recall, and bring, through Christ, to him for whom are all 5 Eternal glory, all men thee adore, who art and shalt be worshipped evermore: us whom thou madest, comfort with thy might, and lead us to enjoy thy heavenly light.

Spirit of God, descend upon my heart

Author: George Croly, 1780-1860 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #293 (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, descend upon my heart, draw it from earth; through all its pulses move; stoop to my weakness, mighty as thou art, and make me love thee as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no opening skies; but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 4 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love. One holy passion filling all my frame; the kindling of the heaven-descended dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

God made me for himself, to serve him here

Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Hymnal: CPWI2010 #312a (2010) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 God made me for himself, to serve him here with love’s pure service and in filial fear; to show his praise, for him to labour now; then see his glory where the angels bow. 2 All needful grace was mine, through his dear Son, whose life and death my full salvation won; the grace that would have strengthened me, and taught; grace that would crown me when my work was wrought. 3 And I, poor sinner, cast it all away; lived for the toil or pleasure of each day; as if no Christ had shed his precious blood, as if I owed no homage to my God. 4 O Holy Spirit, with thy fire divine, melt into tears this thankless heart of mine: teach me to love what once I seemed to hate, and live to God, before it be too late.
