At even when the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells, 1823 - 1900 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #232 (1958) Tune Title: ANGELUS Lyrics: 1 At even when the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O, in what divers pains they met, O, with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near; What if thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel: For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved thee well, And some have lost the love they had. A-men. 4 O Saviour Christ, thou too art Man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 5 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from thee can fruitless fall; Hear, in this solemn evening hour, And in thy mercy heal us all. Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - Evening Languages: English

Be still, my soul, for God is near

Author: William Dalrymple Maclagan, 1826 - 1910 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #267 (1958) Tune Title: ANGELUS Lyrics: 1 Be still, my soul, for God is near, The great High Priest is with thee now! The Lord of Life himself is here, Before whose face the angels bow. 2 To make thy heart his lowly throne, Thy Saviour God in love draws nigh; He gives himself unto his own, For whom he once came down to die. 3 He pleads before the mercy-seat, He pleads with God, he pleads for thee; He gives thee bread from heaven to eat: His Flesh and Blood in mystery. 4 I come, O Lord, for thou dost call, To blend my pleading prayer with thine; To thee I give myself, my all, And feed on thee, and make thee mine. Amen. Topics: Sacraments and Rites Holy Communion Languages: English

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #554 (1958) Tune Title: ARLINGTON Lyrics: 1 Am I a soldier of the Cross, A follower of the Lamb, And shall I fear to own his cause Or blush to speak his Name? 2 Must I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas? A-men. 3 Are there no foes for me to face? Must I not stem the flood? Is this vain world a friend to grace To help me on to God? 4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign-- Increase my courage, Lord-- I'll bear the toil, endure the pain, Supported by thy word. 5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war, Shall conquer, though they die; They see the triumph from afar, By faith they bring it nigh. 6 When that illustrious day shall rise, And all thy armies shine In robes of victory through the skies, The glory shall be thine.

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber, 1814 - 63 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #493b (1958) Tune Title: ARMSTRONG Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in his justice, Which is more than liberty. There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no p'ace where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in his Blood, There is grace enough for thousands Of new worlds as great as this; There is room for fresh creations In that upper home of bliss. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measures of man's mind, And the heart of the Eternal Is most wonderfully kind. There is plentiful redemption In the Blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 4 'Tis not all we owe to Jesus; It is something more than all; Greater good because of evil, Larger mercy through the fall. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at his word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of our Lord.
