Glad Worship

Author: Mrs. Osgood Hymnal: BHPPD866 #464 (1866) First Line: Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul Lyrics: Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul, Nor let thy feet falter from terror’s control; God loves not the sadness of fear and mistrust; O, serve Him with gladness,—the Loving and Just! His bounty is tender, His being is love; His smile fills with splendor the blue arch above; Confiding, believing, O, enter always His courts with thanksgiving, His portals with praise! Come not to His temple with pride in thy mien But lowly and simple, in courage serene; Bring meekly before Him the faith of a child, Bow down and adore Him with heart undefiled! Languages: English

The Heart’s Prayer

Author: Moore Hymnal: BHPPD866 #96 (1866) Meter: Irregular First Line: As, down in the sunless retreats of the ocean Lyrics: As, down in the sunless retreats of the ocean, Sweet flowers are springing no mortal can see, So, deep in my soul, the still prayer of devotion, Unheard by the world, rises, silent, to Thee, My God! silent, to Thee,— Pure, warm, silent, to Thee. As still to the star of its worship, though clouded, The needle points faithfully o’er the dim sea, So, dark when I roam, in this wintry world shrouded, The hope of my spirit turns, trembling, to Thee, My God! trembling, to Thee,— True, sure, trembling, to Thee.

The Heavenly Guardian

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #59 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: As every day Thy mercy spares Lyrics: As every day Thy mercy spares Will bring its trials or its cares, O Father, till my life shall end, Be Thou my counsellor and friend! Teach me Thy statutes all divine, And let Thy will be always mine! When each day’s scenes and labors close, And wearied nature seeks repose, With pardoning mercy, richly blest, Guard me, my Father, while I rest; And as each morning sun shall rise, O, lead me onward to the skies! Languages: English

Tempted As We Are

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #113 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: As oft, with worn and weary feet Lyrics: As oft, with worn and weary feet, We tread earth’s rugged pathway o’er, The thought how comforting and sweet,— Christ trod this very path before; Our wants, our weaknesses, he knows, From life’s first dawning to its close. If we, beneath temptation’s stress, Do fight against dark powers within, So, in Judea’s wilderness, Christ wrestled with the thoughts of sin, When, in a weary, lonely hour, The tempter came with all his power. So, tried as I, this earth he trod, Knew every human ill but sin, And though the holiest Son of God, As I am now so hath he been; Jesus, my Saviour! look on me; For help and strength I turn to thee!

The Soul Thirsting for God

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #226 (1866) First Line: As the hart, with eager looks Lyrics: As the hart, with eager looks, Panteth for the water-brooks, So my soul, athirst for Thee, Pants the living God to see; When, O, when, without a fear, Lord, shall I to Thee draw near? Why art thou cast down, my soul? God, thy God, shall make thee whole; Why art thou disquieted? God shall lift thy fallen head, And His countenance benign Be the saving health of thine. Languages: English

God Ever Near

Author: Newton Hymnal: BHPPD866 #69 (1866) First Line: As the sun's enlivening eye Lyrics: As the sun’s enlivening eye Shines on every place the same; So the Lord is always nigh To the souls that love His name. When they move at duty’s call, He is with them by the way; He is ever with them all, Those who go and those who stay. From His holy mercy-seat Nothing can their souls confine; Still in spirit they may meet, And in sweet communion join. Father, hear our humble prayer! Tender Shepherd of Thy sheep, Let Thy mercy and Thy care All our souls in safety keep. In Thy strength may we be strong; Sanctify each cross and pain; Give us, if Thou wilt, ere long Here to meet in peace again. Languages: English

“He Knoweth What Ye Have Need Of.”

Author: Merrick Hymnal: BHPPD866 #260 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Author of good, we rest on Thee Lyrics: Author of good, we rest on Thee; Thine ever watchful eye Alone our real wants can see, Thy hand alone supply. In Thine all-gracious providence Our cheerful hopes confide; O, let Thy power be our defence, Thy love our footsteps guide! And since, by passion’s force subdued, Too oft, with stubborn will, We blindly shun the latent good, And grasp the specious ill,— Not what we wish, but what we want, Thy mercy still supply! The good unasked, O Father, grant; The ill, though asked, deny! Languages: English

The Christian Warfare

Author: Mrs. Barbauld Hymnal: BHPPD866 #318 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes Lyrics: Awake, my soul! lift up thine eyes; See where thy foes against thee rise, In long array, a numerous host; Awake, my soul! or thou art lost. Here giant danger threatening stands, Mustering his pale, terrific bands; There, pleasure’s silken banners spread, And willing souls are captives led. See where rebellious passions rage, And fierce desires and lusts engage; The meanest foe of all the train Has thousands and ten thousands slain. Come, then, my soul! now learn to wield The weight of thine immortal shield; Put on the armor from above Of heavenly truth and heavenly love. The terror and the charm repel, And powers of earth, and powers of hell; The Man of Calvary triumphed here; Why should his faithful followers fear? Languages: English

Forgetting the Things Behind

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: BHPPD866 #315 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve Lyrics: Awake, my soul! stretch every nerve, And press with vigor on; A heavenly race demands thy zeal, And an immortal crown. A cloud of witnesses around Hold thee in full survey; Forget the steps already trod, And onward urge thy way. ’Tis God’s all-animating voice That calls thee from on high; ’Tis His own hand presents the prize To thine aspiring eye;— That prize with peerless glories bright, Which shall new lustre boast, When victors’ wreaths and monarchs’ gems Shall blend in common dust. Languages: English

Press Onward to the Mark

Author: Watts Hymnal: BHPPD866 #541 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Awake, our souls, away, our fears Lyrics: Awake, our souls, away, our fears; Let every trembling thought be gone. Awake and run the heavenly race, And put a cheerful courage on. True ’tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the strength of every saint. From Thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply, While such as trust in human strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die. Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We’ll mount aloft to Thine abode; On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amidst the heavenly road. Languages: English
