Spirit of God, Dwell Thou

Author: Rev. George Croly Hymnal: NCH1929 #120 (1929) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Spirit of God, dwell Thou within my heart Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, dwell Thou within my heart; Wean 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 Hast Thou not bid us love Thee, God and King? All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind; I see Thy cross - there teach my heart to cling: O let me seek Thee, and O let me find. 4 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.

Rise, Crowned with Light

Author: Pope Hymnal: NCH1929 #147 (1929) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise Lyrics: 1. Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise; Exalt thy tow'ring head and lift thine eyes: See heav'n its radiant portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2. See along race thy spacious courts adorn: See future sons and daughters yet unborn In crowding ranks on ev'ry side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3. See barb'rous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in thy light, and in thy temple bend: See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While ev'ry land its joyous tribute brings. 4. The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed His Word, his saving pow'r remains; Thy realm shall last, thy own Messiah reigns.

Not Worthy, Lord

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Hymnal: NCH1929 #165 (1929) Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Not worthy Lord to gather up the crumbs Lyrics: 1. Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand that from Thy table fall, A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call. 2. I am not worthy to be thought Thy child, Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board; Too long a wand'rer and too oft beguiled, I only ask one reconciling word. 3. One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look, And I could face the cold, rough world again; And with that treasure in my heart could brook The wrath of devils and the scorn of men. 4. I hear Thy voice; Thou bidd'st me come and rest; I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy pierced feet; Thou bidd'st me take my place, a welcome guest Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat. 5. My praise can only breathe itself in prayer, My prayer can only lose itself in Thee; Dwell Thou forever in my heart, and there, Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me.

I Sought the Lord, and Afterward I Knew

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: NCH1929 #133 (1929) Meter: 10.10.10.6 Lyrics: 1. I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew He moved my soul to seek Him, seeking me; It was not I that found, O Savior true, No, I was found of Thee. 2. Thou didst reach forth Thy hand and mine enfold; I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea,-- 'Twas not so much that I on Thee took hold, As Thou, dear Lord, on me. 3. I find, I walk, I love, but, O the whole Of love is but my answer, Lord, to Thee; For Thou wert long before-hand with my soul, Always Thou lovedst me.

O Worship the King

Author: Sir Robert Grant Hymnal: NCH1929 #11 (1929) Meter: 10.10.11.11 First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, and sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. Amen. Topics: Praise Languages: English Tune Title: LYONS
