Father of mercies, in Thy word

Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: LHPN1913 #135 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies, in Thy word What endless glory shines! For ever be Thy name adored For these celestial lines. 2 Here may the blind and hungry come, And light and food receive; Here shall the lowliest guest have room, And taste and see and live. 3 Here springs of consolation rise To cheer the fainting mind, And thirsting souls receive supplies, And sweet refreshment find. 4 Here the Redeemer's welcome voice Spreads heavenly peace around; And life and everlasting joys Attend the blissful sound. 5 O may these heavenly pages be My ever dear delight; And still new beauties may I see, And still increasing light. 6 Divine Instructor, gracious Lord! Be Thou for ever near; Teach me to love Thy sacred word, And view my Savior there!

Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace

Author: B. Barton Hymnal: LHPN1913 #139 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lamp of our feet, whereby we trace Our path, when wont to stray, Stream from the fount of heavenly grace, Brook by the traveler's way; 2 Bread of our souls, whereon we feed, True manna from on high; Our guide and chart, wherein we read Of realms beyond the sky; 3 Pillar of fire through watches dark, Or radiant cloud by day; When waves would 'whelm our tossing bark, Our anchor and our stay; 4 Word of the ever-living God, Will of His glorious Son; Without Thee how could earth be trod, Or heaven itself be won? 5 Lord, grant us all aright to learn The wisdom it imparts; And to its heavenly teaching turn, With simple, childlike hearts.

Bathurst Hymnal: LHPN1913 #243 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a faith that will not shrink, Though pressed by many a foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe, 2 That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod, But, in the hour of grief or pain, Will lean upon its God; 3 A faith that shines more bright and clear When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt; 4 That bears unmoved the world’s dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Nor Satan’s arts beguile; 5 A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life’s last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray Lights up a dying bed! 6 Lord, give us such a faith as this, And then, whate’er may come, We’ll taste e’en here, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home.

Alas! and did my Savior bleed

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: LHPN1913 #318 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity, grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, the mighty Maker, died For man, the creatures' sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face, While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness! And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away: 'Tis all that I can do.

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: LHPN1913 #361 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire, Unuttered or expressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of the eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air, His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heaven with prayer. 5 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 6 O Thou, by whom we come to God, The life, the truth, the way! The path of prayer Thyself hast trod; Lord, teach us how to pray. Topics: The Church Year Ascension; The Church Year Fifth Sunday after Easter Tune Title: [Prayer is the soul's sincere desire]

Author: Richard Baxter Hymnal: LHPN1913 #502 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad The longer to obey; If short, no laborer is sad, To end this toilsome day. 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; And he that to God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessed face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints, And weary, sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints That sing my Savior's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small; The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him.

Jerusalem, my happy home

Author: Anon.; Joseph Bromhead Hymnal: LHPN1913 #609 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me! When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 O when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where evermore the angels sing, Where sabbaths have no end? 4 There happier bowers than Eden’s bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Savior stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 7 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joy shall see.

There is a land of pure delight

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: LHPN1913 #611 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger trembling on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With faith's illumined eyes: 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

One thing needful! This one treasure

Author: J. H. Schroeder Hymnal: LHPN1913 #227 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.12.12.11.11 Lyrics: 1 One thing needful! This one treasure Teach me, Savior, to esteem; Other things may promise pleasure, But are never what they seem; They prove to be burdens that vex us and chafe us, And true lasting happiness never vouchsafe us; This one precious treasure, that all else exceeds, Gives joy above measure and fills all my needs. 2 Seekest thou the one thing needful, Leave all cares that hindering prove; Be of earthly joys unheedful, Fix thy heart on things above; For where God and man both in one are united, With God's perfect fullness the heart is delighted; There, there is the worthiest lot and the best, My one and my all, and my joy, and my rest. 3 Then with Mary's full surrender, I would offer Thee my heart, At Thy feet my tribute render, As my chosen better part. For Mary's heart burning with fervent emotion, Was quickened to serve Thee with perfect devotion; And there filled with love for her Savior and Lord, Was, with the One needful, in blessed accord. 4 Thus, O Jesus, my endeavor Is to be forever thine. Let no mortal love whatever Hindering now my heart entwine. Though great be the host that refuses to heed Thee, I'll faithfully follow where'er Thou wilt lead me; For thy word is Spirit and life to my soul, And through it, O Jesus, my conduct control. 5 Wisdom's fountain everflowing Has its highest source in Thee. By Thy grace confine my going In Thy footsteps, trod for me; In which I with lowly and perfect submission May bend to Thy wisdom my will and ambition; And when, O my Savior, I know Thee aright I then shall have risen to wisdom's great height. 6 I have naught, my God, to offer, Save the blood of Thy dear Son; Graciously accept the proffer: Make His righteousness mine own. His holy life gave He, was crucified for me; His righteousness perfect he now pleads before Thee; His own robe of righteousness, my highest good, Shall clothe me in glory, through faith in His blood. 7 In Thine image then awaking, May my soul be all Thine own; Of Thy holy life partaking, Sanctified to Thee alone. For all that I need here, to serve and obey Thee, In Thee I receive--and my Savior, I pray Thee: From things transitory, absorbing my love, Withdraw mine affections, and fix them above. 8 Jesus, in Thy cross are centered All the marvels of Thy grace; Thou, my Savior, once hast entered Through Thy blood the holy place: Thy sacrifice holy there wrought my redemption, From Satan's dominion I now have exemption; The way is now free to the Father's high throne Where I may approach Him, in Thy name alone. 9 Joys unnumbered, peace and blessing, Are the comforts full and free, Richly now I am possessing, For my Savior shepherds me. How sweet the communion, beyond all expression, To have Thee, O Jesus, as my heart's possession. O nothing in me can such ardor unfold As when I Thee, Savior, in faith shall behold. 10 Henceforth Thou alone, my Savior, Shalt be all in all to me. Search my heart and my behavior, Cast out all hypocrisy. Restrain me from wandering in pathways unholy, And throughout life's pilgrimage keep my heart lowly; I'll value but lightly earth's treasure and store: Thou art the One needful, and mine evermore!

Withhold not, Lord, the help I crave

Author: C. J. P. Spitta Hymnal: LHPN1913 #428 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7.4.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Withhold not, Lord, the help I crave, Forsake not, nor forget me, For from the cradle to the grave A thousand foes beset me. Alas! Thy child, Deceived, beguiled, To guide himself unable, In devious ways Of error strays, Blind, feeble, and unstable. 2 To guard and keep me, never cease, From all that is defiling; Preserve me also from false peace, When life is smooth and smiling. Should dangers rise, And me surprise, And clouds around me gather, Teach me to pray, And childlike say "Help me, my God and Father!" 3 Let me throughout my life esteem Thy word as precious manna, And make Thy name my constant theme, My song and my Hosanna; Thy Son alone Thy gracious throne, Where I may find compassion; His precious blood My strength and food, And shield against temptation. 4 Then take not, Lord, Thy hand away, Withdraw not Thy protection, But grant me to the grave, I pray, Thy guidance and direction. At my last end I will commend To Thee my soul and spirit; Then shall I be, My God, with Thee, And endless joy inherit.

In Jesus I find rest and peace

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #418 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.8.7 Lyrics: 1 In Jesus I find rest and peace The world is full of sorrow; His wounds are my abiding-place; Let the unknown tomorrow Bring what it may, There I can stay, My faith finds all I need today, I will not trouble borrow. 2 Until I found that crystal spring, My way was dull and dreary; I looked for peace in many a thing; But still my soul grew weary. Unsatisfied, All things I tried, And yet my soul had not espied The fount of life so near me. 3 My soul was carnal, blind, and bound By sin, and never sought Thee, Lord Jesus, though I ever found All else no comfort brought me, No peace, no rest Within my breast; My troubled soul remained unblest, Of Thee I ne'er bethought me. 4 In pity, then, Thou cam'st to me, Thine arms to me extending; I heard Thy voice: Come unto me And rest in peace unending. Immanuel Loves thee full well, He saves thy soul from death and hell, In perils thee defending. 5 O Jesus, I must now confess The world hath but vexation And anguish, sorrow, dire distress, As is Thy declaration. In Thee is peace And sweet surcease; Thy bosom is my resting-place Where I find consolation. 6 To me the preaching of the cross Is wisdom everlasting; Thy death alone redeems my loss; On Thee my burden casting, I, in Thy name, A refuge claim From sin and death and from all shame-- Blest be Thy name, O Jesus! 7 O Jesus, may I constant be, Forever with Thee staying! O may I feel love's mastery, My every fear allaying! The dove at last Hath found sweet rest From all her weary, futile quest, Although she long went straying.

Kindle the lamp of faith today, Teach us to sing before Thee For joy at length, That in Thy strength We, too, may rise whom sin had slain, And Thine eternal rest attain. 4 And when our tears for sin o'erflow, Do Thou in love draw near us, Thy precious gift of peace bestow, Let Thy bright presence cheer us, That so may we, O Christ, from Thee Drink in the life that cannot die, And keep true Easter feasts on high.

Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate’er my God ordains is right: Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken; My Father’s care Is round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all.
