All My Hope on God Is Founded

Author: Joachim Neander, 1650-1680; Robert S. Bridges Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 69 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All my hope on God is founded; He doth still my trust renew, Me through change and chance He guideth, Only good and only true. God unknown, He alone Calls my heart to be His own. 2. Pride of man and earthly glory, Sword and crown betray His trust; What with care and toil He buildeth, Tower and temple fall to dust. But God’s power, hour by hour, Is my temple and my tower. 3. God’s great goodness aye endureth, Deep His wisdom, passing thought: Splendor, light and life attend him, Beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from His store Newborn worlds rise and adore. 4. Daily doth th’almighty Giver Bounteous gifts on us bestow; His desire our soul delighteth, Pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at His hand; Joy doth wait on His command. 5. Still from man to God eternal Sacrifice of praise be done, High above all praises praising For the gift of Christ, His Son. Christ doth call one and all: Ye who follow shall not fall.

"I Stand At The Door"

Author: J. Traviss Lockwood Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: On the threshold lo! there standeth Lyrics: 1 On the threshold lo! there standeth One whose voice we’ve heard before; And He patiently demandeth Entrance at the closèd door: "Guilty sinner, let me in! I have come to cleanse your sin." 2 Hark! how tenderly He’s pleading, "I am standing at the door"; Whilst the sinner, still unheeding, Keeps it barred as heretofore. But the sceptered kingly hand Still an entrance doth demand. 3 ’Tis the Savior, long rejected, Wakes the echoes of the heart; ’Tis His voice, so long neglected, Bids our evil guests depart; And Himself our guest would stay, Keeping evil foes away. 4 O, behold His side so piercèd, Wounded hands and feet and brow; By His wounds from sin releasèd, We may hail Him Savior now; Coming, He would give us rest, All by Him so long unblest. 5 Come Thou in! no longer standing Knocking at our heedless heart; Come, and all our soul commanding, Never more from thence depart. Be our guest, and be our Lord, Crown and joy and great reward. Used With Tune: KRUNG THEP Text Sources: Murray's Songs for Sunday Schools and Gospel Meetings (Boston: White ^ Smith, 1876)

See his soul and body languish, Us from sin and death to free. O such depth of pain and woe Never mortal heart did know! 2 Hand and foot by sinners wounded, Bruised and tortured, head bowed down, Hangs our Saviour now surrounded By His foes, their thorns His crown. O such depth of pain and woe Never mortal heart did know! 3 Hear His cry in prayer and pleading, "Father, to Thy hands commend I my spirit; light and leading In this hour of darkness send." O such depth of pain and woe Never mortal heart did know! 4 Rent the temple veil, all nature Wrapped in gloom of midday night, Eye and heart of every creature Weep with pity at the sight. O such depth of pain and woe Never mortal heart did know! 5 Sinful heart, in deep contrition Bow before the Crucified; Contemplate His grievous passion, Own that for thy sins He died. O such love as He hath shown Never mortal heart hath known. Topics: Church Year Holy Week; Good Friday; Names and Office of Christ Crucified Used With Tune: SKÅDER, SKÅDER NU HÄR ALLE

Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God who madest earth and heaven, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Who the day and night hast given, Sun and moon and starry host, Thou whose mighty hand sustains Earth and all that she contains: 2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render, Who this night hast guarded me, My omnipotent defender, Who from ill dost set me free,-- Free from danger, anguish, woe, Free from the infernal foe. 3 Let the night of my transgression With night's darkness pass away. Jesus, into Thy possession I resign myself to-day; In Thy wounds I find relief From my greatest sin and grief. 4 Grant that I may rise this morning From the lethargy of sin; Thus my soul, through Thine adorning, Shall be glorious within, And when breaks Thy judgment day I shall not be cast away. 5 Let my life and conversation Be directed by Thy Word. Lord, Thy constant preservation To Thy erring child afford; Nowhere but alone in Thee From all harm can I be free. 6 Wholly to Thy blest protection I commit my heart and mind. Mighty God, to Thy direction May I ever be resigned. Lord, my shield, my light divine, O accept, and own me Thine. 7 Lord, to me Thine angel sending, Keep me from the subtle foe; From his craft and might defending, Never let Thy pilgrim go, Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.
