My soul with patience waits

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: My soul with patience waits For thee, the living Lord: My hopes are on thy promise built, Thy never-failing word. My longing eyes look out For thy enlivening ray, More duly than the morning watch To spy the dawning day. Let Israel trust in God; No bounds his mercy knows; The plenteous source and spring from whence Eternal succour flows; Whose friendly streams to us Supplies in want convey; A healing spring, a spring to cleanse And wash our guilt away. To God, the Father, Son, And Spirit, ever blest, The One in Three, the Three in One, Be endless praise addressed. Amen.

Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: Praise we the Lord this day, This day so long foretold, Whose promise shone with cheering ray On waiting saints of old. 254 The prophet gave the sign For faithful men to read; A virgin born of David's line Shall bear the promised Seed. Ask not how this should be, But worship and adore, Like her whom heaven's majesty Came down to shadow o'er. Meekly she bowed her head To hear the gracious word, Mary, the pure and lowly maid, The favored of the Lord. Blessed shall be her name In all the Church on earth, Through whom that wondrous mercy came, The incarnate Savior's birth. Topics: Holy Days The Anunciation Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE

Master, no offering

Author: Edwin P. Parker Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: Master, no offering, Costly and sweet, May we, like Magdalene, Lay at thy feet; Yet may love's incense rise, Sweeter than sacrifice, Dear Lord, to thee. Daily our lives would show Weakness made strong, Toilsome and gloomy ways Brightened with song; Some deeds of kindness done, Some souls by patience won, Dear Lord, to thee. Some word of hope, for hearts Burdened with fears, Some balm of peace, for eyes Blinded with tears: Some dews of mercy shed, Some wayward footstep led, Dear Lord, to thee. Thus, in thy service, Lord, Till eventide Closes the day of life, May we abide. And when earth's labors cease, Bid us depart in peace, Dear Lord, to thee. Amen.

The sun is sinking fast

Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 6.4.6.6 Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast, The daylight dies: Let love awake, and pay Her evening sacrifice. 2 As Christ upon the cross His head inclined, And to His Father's hands His parting soul resigned; 3 So now herself my soul Would wholly give Into His sacred charge, In Whom all spirits live; 4 So now beneath His eye Would calmly rest, Without a wish or thought Abiding in the breast; 5 Save that His will be done, Whate'er betide; Dead to herself, and dead In Him to all beside. 6 Thus would I live; yet now Not I, but He, In all His power and love, Henceforth alive in me. 7 One sacred Trinity, One Lord divine, May I be ever His, And He for ever mine. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA Text Sources: Latin

Jesus, to Thy table led

Author: Robert H. Baynes Meter: 7.7.7 Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: Jesus, to thy table led, Now let every heart be fed With the true and living Bread. While in penitence we kneel, Thy blest presence let us feel, All thy wondrous love reveal. While on thy dear cross we gaze, Mourning o'er our sinful ways, Turn our sadness into praise. When we taste the mystic wine, Of thine outpoured Blood the sign; Fill our hearts with love divine. Draw us to thy wounded side, Whence there flowed the healing tide; There our sins and sorrows hide. From the bonds of sin release; Cold and wavering faith increase; Lamb of God, grant us thy peace. Lead us by thy piercèd hand, Till around thy throne we stand, In the bright and better land. Amen.

Come, O Thou Traveler unknown

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 289 hymnals Lyrics: Come, O thou Traveler unknown, Whom still I hold, but cannot see, My company before is gone, And I am left alone with thee; With thee all night I mean to stay, And wrestle till the break of day. I need not tell thee who I am, My misery or sin declare; Thyself hast called me by my name; Look on thy hands and read it there! But who, I ask thee, who art thou? Tell me thy Name, and tell me now. 211 Yield to me now, for I am weak, But confident in self-despair; Speak to my heart, in blessing speak, Be conquered by my instant prayer! Speak, or thou never hence shalt move, And tell me if thy Name is Love. 'Tis Love! 'Tis Love! Thou diedst for me! I hear thy whisper in my heart. The morning breaks, the shadows flee; Pure, universal Love thou art: To me, to all, thy mercies move; Thy nature and thy Name is Love. Amen.

No foes shall stay his might, Though he with giants fight; He will make good his right To be a pilgrim. Since, Lord, thou dost defend Us with thy Spirit We know we at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies flee away! I'll fear not what men say, I'll labour night and day To be a pilgrim.
