Show me Thy face one transient gleam

Author: Unknown Hymnal: MHTB1917 #434 (1917) Person Name: Unknown Lyrics: 1 Show me Thy face one transient gleam Of loveliness divine, And I shall never think nor dream Of other love save Thine; All lesser light will darken quite, All lower glories wane, The beautiful of earth will scarce Seem beautiful again. 2 Show me Thy face my faith and love Shall henceforth fixed be, And nothing here have power to move My soul's serenity; My life shall seem a trance, a dream, And all I feel and see Illusive, visionary, Thou, The one Reality! 3 Show me Thy face I shall forget The weary days of yore, The fretting ghosts of vain regret Shall haunt my soul no more; All doubts and fears for future years In quiet trust subside, And nought but blest content and calm With my breast abide. 4 Show me Thy face the heaviest cross Will then seem light to bear, There will be gain for every loss, And peace with every care; With such light feet the years shall fleet, Life seem as brief as blest, Till I have laid my burden down, And entered into rest.

No careless slumber shall His eyelids close, Who keepeth thee. Behold our God, the Lord, He slumbereth ne'er, Who keepeth Israel in His holy care. 3 Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true, Thy changeless shade; Jehovah thy defence on thy right hand Himself hath made. And thee no sun by day shall ever smite, No moon shall harm thee in the silent night. 4 From every evil shall He keep thy soul, From every sin Jehovah shall preserve thy going out, Thy coming in. Above thee watching, He whom we adore Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for everymore.

Armitage, 1841- Lyrics: 1 March on, march on, O ye soldiers true, In the cross of Christ confiding, For the field is set, and the hosts are met, And the Lord His own is guiding. Through earth's wide round, let the tidings sound, Of the Lord who came from heaven; Of the mighty hope, that with death can cope, And the love so freely given. Refrain: March on, march on, O ye soldiers true, In the cross of Christ confiding, For the field is set and the hosts are met, and the Lord His own is guiding. 2 We march to fight with the powers of night, That have held the world in sorrow; And the broken heart shall forget its smart, And shall hail a joyful morrow, We fight with wrong, and our weapon strong Is the love which hate shall banish; And the chains shall fall from each ransomed thrall, As the thrones of tyrants vanish. [Refrain] 3 Long wear the fight, but the God of right, Though unseen, is ever near us; And the prayers that rise to the listening skies Like a song of hope shall cheer us. Till the sunrise broad of the day of God Shall declare the victor's glory, And the world shall rest in her Lord confessed, And shall sing the finished story. [Refrain] Amen.
