Before thy throne, O God, we kneel
Author: William Boyd Carpenter, 1841-1918 Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #574 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Before thy throne, O God, we kneel:
give us a conscience quick to feel,
a ready mind to understand
the meaning of thy chastening hand;
whate'er the pain and shame may be,
bring us, O Father, nearer thee.
2 Search out our hearts and make us true;
help us to give to all their due.
From love of pleasure, lust of gold,
from sins which make the heart grow cold,
wean us and train us with thy rod;
teach us to know our faults, O God.
3 For sins of heedless word and deed,
for pride ambitious to succeed,
for crafty trade and subtle snare
to catch the simple unaware,
for lives bereft of purpose high,
forgive, forgive, O Lord, we cry.
4 Let the fierce fires which burn and try,
our inmost spirits purify:
consume the ill; purge out the shame;
O God, be with us in the flame;
a newborn people may we rise,
more pure, more true, more nobly wise. Topics: Christian Responsibility Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG

My hope is built on nothing less
Author: Edward Mote Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #582 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' Name.
Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
2 When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest upon unchanging grace;
In ev'ry rough and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil. [Refrain]
3 His oath, his covenant, his blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay. [Refrain]
4 When I shall launch in worlds unseen,
O may I then be found in him;
Dressed in his righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. [Refrain] Topics: Assurance; Christ Priestly Intercessin of; Christ Rock; Christian Life Assurance; Hope; Imputation, of Righteousness; Trust in God Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:11 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG

How Good It Is to Thank the Lord
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #635 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How good it is to thank the Lord,
and praise to you, Most High, accord,
to show your love with morning light,
and tell your faithfulness each night;
yea, good it is your praise to sing,
and all our sweetest music bring.
2 O Lord, with joy my heart expands
before the wonders of your hands;
great works, Jehovah, you have wrought,
exceeding deep your ev'ry thought;
a foolish man knows not their worth,
nor he whose mind is of the earth.
3 When as the grass the wicked grow,
when sinners flourish here below,
then is there endless ruin nigh,
but you, O Lord, are throned on high;
your foes shall fall before your might,
the wicked shall be put to flight.
4 The righteous man shall flourish well,
and in the house of God shall dwell;
he shall be like a goodly tree,
and all his life shall fruitful be;
for righteous is the Lord and just,
he is my rock, in him I trust.

My Song Forever Shall Record
Hymnal: Voices United #804 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 My song forever shall record
your tender mercies, O my God,
your faithfulness will I proclaim,
and every age shall know your name.
I sing of mercies that endure,
of faithfulness forever sure.
2 Almighty God, your lofty throne
has justice for its cornerstone;
and shining bright before your face
are truth and love and boundless grace.
The heavens shall join in glad accord
to praise your wondrous work and word.
3 The swelling sea obeys your will;
its angry waves your voice can still.
And yours, by right, the heavens and earth,
the world in life, in death, in birth.
The whole creation’s wondrous frame
proclaims its Maker’s glorious name.
4 With blessing is the nation crowned
whose people know the joyful sound;
they in the light, O God, shall live,
the light your face and favour give.
All glory unto God we yield,
who is our constant help and shield. Scripture: Psalm 89 Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG

Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #947 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. 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.
2. I need not tell Thee who I am,
My misery and 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.
3. In vain Thou strugglest to get free,
I never will unloose my hold!
Art Thou the man that died for me?
The secret of Thy love unfold;
Wrestling, I will not let Thee go,
Till I Thy name, Thy nature know.
4. Wilt Thou not yet to me reveal
Thy new, unutterable name?
Tell me, I still beseech Thee, tell;
To know it now resolved I am;
Wrestling, I will not let Thee go,
Till I Thy name, Thy nature know.
5. ’Tis all in vain to hold Thy tongue
Or touch the hollow of my thigh;
Though every sinew be unstrung,
Out of my arms Thou shalt not fly;
Wrestling I will not let Thee go
Till I Thy name, Thy nature know.
6. What though my shrinking flesh complain,
And murmur to contend so long?
I rise superior to my pain,
When I am weak, then I am strong
And when my all of strength shall fail,
I shall with the God-man prevail.
7. My strength is gone, my nature dies,
I sink beneath Thy weighty hand,
Faint to revive, and fall to rise;
I fall, and yet by faith I stand;
I stand and will not let Thee go
Till I Thy name, Thy nature know.
8. Yield to me now, for I am weak,
But confident in self-despair;
Speak to my heart, in blessings speak,
Be conquered by my instant prayer;
Speak, or Thou never hence shalt move,
And tell me if Thy name is Love.
9. ’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 bowels move;
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
10. My prayer hath power with God; the grace
Unspeakable I now receive;
Through faith I see Thee face to face,
I see Thee face to face, and live!
In vain I have not wept and strove;
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
11. I know Thee, Savior, who Thou art.
Jesus, the feeble sinner’s friend;
Nor wilt Thou with the night depart.
But stay and love me to the end,
Thy mercies never shall remove;
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
12. The Sun of righteousness on me
Hath rose with healing in His wings,
Withered my nature’s strength; from Thee
My soul its life and succor brings;
My help is all laid up above;
Thy nature and Thy name is Love.
13. Contented now upon my thigh
I halt, till life’s short journey end;
All helplessness, all weakness I
On Thee alone for strength depend;
Nor have I power from Thee to move:
Thy nature, and Thy name is Love.
14. Lame as I am, I take the prey,
Hell, earth, and sin, with ease o’ercome;
I leap for joy, pursue my way,
And as a bounding hart fly home,
Through all eternity to prove
Thy nature and Thy name is Love. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG
Come, O Thou Traveler Unknown
The Day the Christ-Child's Tender Eyes
Author: May R. Smith, 1842-1927 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1152 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The day the Christ-child’s tender eyes
Unveiled their beauty on the earth,
God lit a new star in the skies
To flash the message of His birth;
And wise men read the glowing sign,
And came to greet the Child divine.
2. Low kneeling in the stable’s gloom,
Their precious treasures they unrolled;
The place was rich with sweet perfume;
Upon the floor lay gifts of gold.
And thus adoring they did bring
To Christ the earliest offering.
3. I think no nimbus wreathed the head
Of the young King so rudely throned;
The quilt of hay beneath Him spread
The sleepy kine beside Him owned;
And here and there in the torn thatch
The sky thrust in a starry patch.
4. Oh, when was new-born monarch shrined
Within such canopy as this?
The birds have cradles feather lined;
And for their new babes princesses
Have sheets of lace without a flaw,
His pillow was a wisp of straw!
5. He chose this way, it may have been,
That those poor mothers, everywhere,
Whose babies in the world’s great inn
Find scanty cradle-room and fare,
As did the Babe of Bethlehem,
May find somewhat to comfort them. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG
