Appears in 372 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Eternal source of every joy Lyrics: 1 Eternal source of every joy, Well may thy praise our lips employ, While in thy temple we appear, Whose goodness crowns the circling year; The flowery spring at thy command, Embalms the air and paints the land; The summer rays with vigor shine, To raise the corn and cheer the vine. 2 Seasons and months and weeks and days Demand successive songs of praise; Still be the cheerful homage paid, With opening light and evening shade! O, may our more harmonious tongues, In worlds unknown pursue the songs, And in those brighter courts adore, Where days and years revolve no more. 1 Almighty Sov'reign of the skies, To thee let songs of gladness rise, Each grateful heart its tribute bring, And every voice thy goodness sing. From thee our choicest blessings flow, Life, health and strength thy hands bestow; The daily good thy creatures share, Springs from thy providential care.

I've Found the Secret of Success

Author: Ruth F. Tracy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. I’ve found the secret of success, ’Tis holding, ’tis holding on; The way to every blessedness, ’Tis holding, ’tis holding on; Our warfare may be hard and fierce, Oft Satan’s arrows wound and pierce, But still we get more smiles than tears By holding on, by holding on. 2. Have you your fighting just begun? Keep holding on, keep holding on; The hardest battles have been won By holding on, by holding on. Though you may meet with runaways Who mourn their weakness half their days, Yet you can gain eternal praise By holding on, by holding on. 3. If full salvation you would gain, Keep holding on, keep holding on; To conquer sins that bring you pain, Keep holding on, keep holding on. God loves to give the better part, Not unto those who only start, But those who seek with all their heart, And then in faith keep holding on.

O King Of Glory, David's Son

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: O King of Glory, David’s son! Lyrics: 1 O King of Glory, David’s son! Why hast Thou come and left Thy throne? The curse and cross of man to bear Brought Thee, O Prince of Glory, here! 2 Thy place of birth was Bethlehem, The place was held in low esteem; A place where none a king would seek: None but the humble and the meek. 3 But yet Thy glory was made known, And to the distant nations shown; A strange, a glorious shining star Brought those who sought Thee from afar. 4 The nations who desired to see Thy face, are come to worship Thee; Though they are heathens, yet they bring Rich offerings unto Thee, their king. 5 But greater treasures than they brought Such they in Thee their Savior sought: Thy love to know, Thy grace to gain Rewards them fully for their pain. 6 O happy where it is the case! That sinners seek for saving grace; Such treasures they with Thee shall find Which proves their joy and peace of mind. 7 Though mighty kings and haughty foes The progress of Thy word oppose: Thy light shall shine from sea to shore, Thy sun shall rise and set no more. 8 Thy kingdom and its righteousness Affords eternal life and peace; My offering, I to Thee will bring, Grant me Thy treasures, O my king!

Teach Me The Prophets Smooth To Shun

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Teach me the prophets smooth to shun Who wrap their words in softest love, But lead their fond disciples down A spacious way to joys above: O may I still my station keep, Hold fast Thy Word, and cross, and name, Beware the clothing of the sheep, Beware the language of the Lamb! 2 Whoe’er for sin and Satan plead, Fruits of the flesh they surely bear, To Hell, not Heaven, their doctrines lead; And there the specious prophets are! These by the beastly mark we know, The mark Thou hast Thyself assigned, And on we to perfection go, And leave the brethren false behind.
