God of love, our Father Saviour

Author: H. W. Robilliard Meter: 8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God of love, our Father Saviour, Holy Spirit, Thee we praise! Triune God, all thought transcending, Fain would we a temple raise Worthy of Thy loving kindness, Hallowed thro' all earthly days. 2 Make these stones a hallowed symbol, Saints of God who run may read, Types of those whom, blest Redeemer, Thou from sin and woe hast freed, Pillars Thou hast hewn and shapen, Thine elect in every deed! 3 Lord! restore the gates of Sion, Let her courts with praise resound! May Thy light and love descending Shed their radiant joys around, So shall man reveal Thy glory: Earth, like heaven, be hallowed ground! Amen.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Author: Henry Francis Lyte Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,310 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my All shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O, 'tis not in grief to harm me, While Thy Love is left to me; O, 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee: What a Father's smile is thine; What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste thee on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal days before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Neale Meter: 8.7 Appears in 94 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, song of gladness, Voice of joy that cannot die; Alleluia is the anthem Ever dear to choirs on high; In the house of God abiding Thus they sing eternally. 2 Alleluia thou resoundest, True Jerusalem and free; Alleluia joyful mother. All thy children sing with thee; But by Babylon's sad waters Mourning exiles now are we. 3 Alleluia cannot always Be our song while here below; Alleluia our transgressions Make us for awhile forego: For the solemn time is coming When our tears for sin must flow. 4 Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee, Grant us blessèd Trinity, At the last to keep Thine Easter In our home beyond the sky; There to Thee forever singing Alleluia joyfully. Amen. Topics: Septuagesima Used With Tune: [Alleluia, song of gladness] Text Sources: 11th Century

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 319 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land. Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light; Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One, the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread: One, the object of our journey, One, the faith which never tires, One, the earnest looking forward, One, the hope our God inspires. 3 One, the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One, the march in God begun: One, the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then, the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.
