Arise, my soul, arise

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: BWHT1899 #249 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears, The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands. 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede; His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood atoned for all our race, His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly speak for me: Forgive him, oh, forgive, they cry, Forgive him, oh, forgive, they cry, Nor let that ransomed sinner die. 4 To God I'm reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear: He owns me for His child, I can no longer fear: With confidence I now draw nigh, With confidence I now draw nigh, And, "Father, Abba Father!" cry. Amen.

Arise, the kingdom is at hand

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Rist Hymnal: BWHT1899 #213 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Arise, the kingdom is at hand, The King is drawing nigh; Arise with joy, ye faithful band, To meet the Lord most high! 2 Look up, ye souls weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far. Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the Morning Star! 3 Look up, ye drooping hearts, to-day! The King is very near: O cast your griefs and fears away, For lo, your Help is here! 4 Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes on in might: He loved us in the ages past, When we lay wrapped in night. 5 Now fear and wrath to joy give place, Now are our sorrow o'er, Since God hath made us in His grace His children evermore. 6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest us, Thyself made poor and weak; O Love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek! 7 For this we raise a gladsome voice, On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne.

Around the throne of God in heaven

Author: Anne H. Shepherd Hymnal: BWHT1899 #583 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God in heaven, Thousands of children stand, Children whose sins are all forgiven, A holy, happy band Refrain: Singing glory, glory, Glory be to God on high. 2 In flowing robes of spotless white See every one arrayed; Dwelling in everlasting light, And joys that never fade. [Refrain] 3 What brought them to that world above, That heaven so bright and fair, Where all is peace, and joy, and love;-- How came those children there? [Refrain] 4 Because the Saviour shed His blood, To wash away their sin; Bathed in that pure and precious flood, Behold them white and clean! [Refrain] 5 On earth they sought the Saviour's grace, On earth they loved His name; So now they see His blessèd face, And stand before the Lamb. [Refrain] Amen.

Art thou weary, art thou languid

Author: John M. Neale; St. Stephen Hymnal: BWHT1899 #357 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distressed? "Come to me," saith One, "and coming, Be at rest." 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my Guide?-- "In His feet and hands are wound-prints, And His side." 3 Is there diadem, as Monarch, That His brow adorns?-- "Yea, a crown, in very surety; But of thorns." 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His promise here?-- "Many a sorrow, many a labor, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What has He at last?-- "Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay?-- "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless?-- "Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, Yes."

As oft with worn and weary feet

Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: BWHT1899 #234 (1899) Lyrics: 1 As oft with worn and weary feet, We tread earth’s rugged valley o’er, The thought how comforting and sweet, Christ trod this very path before! Our wants and weaknesses He knows, From life’s first dawning to its close. 2 Does sickness, feebleness, or pain, Or sorrow in our path appear? The recollection will remain, More deeply did He suffer here; His life how truly sad and brief, Filled up with suffering and with grief. 3 If Satan tempt our hearts to stray, And whisper evil things within, So did he in the desert way Assail our Lord with thoughts of sin: When worn, and in a feeble hour, The tempter came with all his power. 4 Just such as I, this earth He trod, With every human ill but sin; And, though indeed the very God, As I am now, so He has been; My God, my Saviour, look on me With pity, love, and sympathy.

As with gladness men of old

Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: BWHT1899 #226 (1899) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour, to Thy manger bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At thy cradle rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin’s alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

I my vows to Thee renew: Disperse my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill. 4 Direct, control, suggest, this day All I design, or do, or say; That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. 5 All praise to Thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refresh'd me, while I slept!
