Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear!

Author: John Keble Appears in 1,448 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sun of my soul, O Saviour dear! It is not night if thou be near: O may no earth-born cloud arise To hide thee from thy servant's eyes. 2 When soft the dews of kindly sleep My weary eyelids gently steep, Be my last thought how sweet to rest Forever on my Saviour's breast! 3 Abide with me from morn till eve, For without thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without thee I dare not die. 4 Be near and bless me when I wake, Ere through the world my way I take Till in the ocean of thy love I lose myself in heaven above.

Hail, thou once despised Jesus!

Hail, thou agonizing Saviour! Bearer of our sin and shame! By thy merits we find favor; Life is given through thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our sins on thee were laid; By Almighty Love anointed. Thou redemption's price hast paid. All thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of thy blood; Opened is the gate of heaven, Peace is made 'twixt man and God 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory! There forever to abide; All the heavenly hosts adore thee, Seated at thy Father's side: There for sinners thou art pleading; There thou dost our place prepare, Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing, Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give; Help, ye bright angelic spirits, Bring your sweetest, noblest lays; Help to sing our Saviour's merits, Help to chant Immanuel's praise!

He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He reigns! the Lord, the Saviour reigns! Sing to his name in lofty strains, Let all the saints in songs rejoice, And in his praise exalt their voice. 2 Deep are his counsels, and unknown, But grace and truth support his throne; Though gloomy clouds his way surround, Justice is their eternal ground. 3 In robes of judgment, lo, he comes! Shakes the wide earth, and cleaves the tombs; Before him burns devouring fire, The mountains melt, the seas retire. 4 His enemies with wild dismay Fly from the sight, and shun the day; Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, And sing, for your redemption's nigh.

How precious is the book divine

Jesus, and shall it ever be

Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 1,277 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man ashamed of thee? Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star; He sheds the beams of light divine O'er this benighted soul of mine. 3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight be ashamed of noon; 'Twas midnight with my soul till he, Bright Morning Star, bade darkness flee. 4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend On whom my hopes of heaven depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame That I no more revere his name. 5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may When I've no guilt to wash away; No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6 Till then,--nor is my boasting vain,-- Till then I boast a Saviour slain; And O, may this my glory be, That Christ is not ashamed of me!

How happy every child of grace

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 381 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace, Who knows his sins forgiven! This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in heaven; 2 A country far from mortal sight, Yet, O, by faith I see The land of rest, the saint's delight, The heaven prepared for me. 3 O what a blessed hope is ours! While here on earth we stay We more than taste the heavenly powers, And antedate that day. 4 We feel the resurrection near, Our life in Christ concealed, And with his glorious presence here Our earthen vessels filled. 5 On him with rapture I shall gaze, Who bought the bliss for me, And shout and wonder at his grace Through all eternity.

How sweet the hour of closing day

Author: William Bathurst Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet the hour of closing day, When all is peaceful and serene, And the broad sun's retiring ray Sheds mellow luster o'er the scene! 2 Such is the Christian's parting hour; So peacefully he sinks to rest When faith, endued from Heaven with power, Sustains and cheers his languid breast. 3 Mark but that radiance of his eye, That smile upon his wasted cheek; They tell us of his hope on high In language that no tongue can speak. 4 Who would not wish to die like those Whom God's own Spirit deigns to bless? To sink into that soft repose, Then wake to perfect happiness? Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: WOODWORTH

I'm but a stranger here

Author: Thomas R. Taylor Appears in 627 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I'm but a stranger here, Heaven is my home; Earth is a desert drear, Heaven is my home; Danger and sorrow stand Round me on every hand, Heaven is my Fatherland, Heaven is my home. 2 What though the tempest rage, Heaven is my home; Short is my pilgrimage, Heaven is my home. Time's cold and wintry blast Soon will be overpast; I shall reach home at last, Heaven is my home. 3 There at my Saviour's side, Heaven is my home; I shall be glorified, Heaven is my home. There'll be the good and blest, Those I love most and best, There, too, I soon shall rest; Heaven is my home. Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Used With Tune: OAK
