Help me to find the gate where all Thy chosen wait; Ere it shall be too late, oh, call me near! 4 Show me, my Savior! how I can grow like Thee; Make me Thy child to be, taught from above; Help me Thy smile to win; keep me safe folded in, Lest I should rove in sin, far from Thy love.

Author: John B. Greenwood, 1832-1905 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown with Thy benediction This covenant of love; And make this hallowed union Foretaste of Heaven above: Let pure and perfect gladness, Let pure and perfect rest, And peace that knows no sadness, Thy presence, Lord, attest. 2 As once in Eden’s springtime, As once at Cana’s feast, So consecrate this bridal— Be Thou its guest and priest! With sunshine wreathe the altar, Chase every cloud away, Nor let their voices falter, Who plight their troth today. 3 God bless the bride and bridegroom, And fill with joy their life, Keep them, through all its changes, True husband, faithful wife! If Thou wilt smile upon them, They shalt not need the sun, This thought their heart rejoicing— Henceforth, not twain but one. With Thy great love befriend them, The love that casts out fear; And make a rainbow round them For every falling tear: Till, all their sheaves well-garnered, Heaven’s harvest home they raise, Where love, that knows no ending, Inspires more perfect praise.

Mercy’s free! 3 Jesus my weary soul refreshes; Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! And every moment Christ is precious Unto me! Unto me! None can describe the bliss I prove, While through this wilderness I rove; All may enjoy the Savior’s love, Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! 4 Jesus, the mighty God, hath spoken Peace to me, peace to me; Now all my chains of sin are broken— I am free, I am free; Soon as I in His name believed, The Holy Spirit I received, And Christ from death my soul retrieved; Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! 5 This precious truth, ye sinners, hear it— Mercy’s free, mercy’s free! Ye ministers of God, declare it— Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! Visit the heathen’s dark abode, Proclaim to all the love of God, And spread the glorious news abroad— Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! 6 Long as I live I’ll still be crying, Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free!

Enthroned Amid the Seraphim

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Enthroned amid the seraphim, Where countless roll the wheels of time, Celestial light, almighty power! Burst forth in this afflictive hour! Effulgent, shine upon our race! Thy ancient mercies, Lord, retrace! 2 From superstition’s dark domain, From persecution’s cruel reign, When erst a tender vine was brought, With joys exuberantly fraught; In regions wrapped in destiny, It rose and bloomed, a lovely tree! 3 Its shade the mountains overspread; Its root, by bubbling fountains fed, Nor drought, nor desert, could arrest; Its branches filled the farthest west: Beside a thousand flowery banks, Its clusters swelled in glowing ranks. 4 Now torn and prostrate its defense, Despoiled of its magnificence, The savage hunter treads it down; It fades beneath a tyrant’s frown; The sword destroys, the fire devours, The Deity in darkness lours! 5 Ah! why deserted of our God? His vineyard, why a field of blood? Return, O God of hosts, return! Thy ravaged, slaughtered church discern! Behold, and victory impart! Thine, ever Thine, shall be our heart!
