This world's not all a fleeting show

Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1. This world's not all a fleeting show, For man's illusion given; He that hath soothed a widow's woe, Or wiped an orphan's tear, doth know There's something here of heaven. 2. And he that walks life's thorny way, With feelings calm and even, Whose path is lit from day to day With virtue's bright and steady ray, Hath something felt of heaven. 3. He that the Christian's course has run, And all his foes forgiven, Who measures out life's little span In love to God and love to man, On earth hath tasted heaven. Used With Tune: WOODLAND

Thy goodness, Lord, our souls confess

Author: Thomas Gibbons Appears in 140 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy goodness, Lord our souls confess, Thy goodness we adore; A spring whose blessings never fail, A sea without a shore. 2 Sun, moon, and stars, thy love attest In every cheerful ray; Love draws the curtain of the night, And love restores the day. 3 Thy bounty every season crowns With all the bliss it yields; With joyful clusters bend the vines, With harvests wave the fields. 4 But chiefly thy compassions, Lord, Are in the gospel seen; There like the sun, thy mercies shine Without a cloud between.

Come, let us join our songs of praise

Author: Alexander Pirrie Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our songs of praise To our ascended Priest; He entered heaven with all our names Engraven on his breast. 2 He died to wash our guilt away, By his atoning blood, Which now he pleads before the throne, And brings us near to God. 3 Clothed with our nature still, he knows The weakness of our frame, And how to shield us from the foes Which he himself o'ercame. 4 Nor time, nor distance, e'er shall quench The fervor of his love; For us he died in kindness here, For us he lives above. 5 O, may we ne'er forget his grace, Nor blush to speak his name! Still may our hearts hold fast his faith, Our lips his praise proclaim. Topics: Christ Mediation and Atonement Used With Tune: WOODLAND
