We walk by faith, and not by sight

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: EH1916 #270a (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: ARLINGTON Lyrics: We walk by faith, and not by sight; No gracious words we hear From him who spake as man ne'er spake; But we believe him near. We may not touch his hands and side, Nor follow where he trod; But in his promise we rejoice, And cry, "My Lord and God!" Help then, O Lord, our unbelief; And may our faith abound, To call on thee when thou art near, And seek where thou art found: That, when our life of faith is done, In realms of clearer light We may behold thee as thou art, With full and endless sight. Amen. Topics: Sundays after Trinity Faith; Holy Days St. Thomas Languages: English

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: EH1916 #398 (1916) Meter: 10.10.10.6 Tune Title: ARTAVIA Lyrics: I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me; It was not I that found, O Savior true; No, I was found of thee. Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold; I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea-- 'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold, As thou, dear Lord, on me. I find, I walk, I love, but O the whole Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee; For thou wert long beforehand with my soul, Always thou lovedst me. Amen. Topics: Visitation Languages: English

Savior, blessed Savior

Author: Godfrey Thring Hymnal: EH1916 #527a (1916) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Tune Title: ASAPH First Line: Saviour, blessed Saviour Lyrics: Savior, blessed Savior, Listen while we sing, Hearts and voices raising Praises to our King. All we have we offer; All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit, All we yield to thee. 485 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to thee, Deep in adoration Bending low the knee: Thou for our redemption Cam'st on earth to die: Thou, that we might follow, Hast gone up on high. Great, and ever greater, Are thy mercies here; True and everlasting Are the glories there, Where no pain or sorrow, Toil or care, is known, Where the angel legions Circle round thy throne. Clearer still, and clearer, Dawns the light from heaven, In our sadness bringing News of sins forgiven; Life has lost its shadows; Pure the light within; Thou hast shed thy radiance On a world of sin. Brighter still, and brighter, Glows the western sun, Shedding all its gladness O'er our work that's done; Time will soon be over, Toil and sorrow past, May we, blessèd Savior, Find a rest at last! Onward, ever onward, Journeying o'er the road Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to God! 486 Leaving all behind us, May we hasten on, Backward never looking Till the prize is won. Bliss, all bliss excelling, When the ransomed soul, Earthly toils forgetting, Finds its promised goal; Where in joys unheard of Saints with angels song, Never weary raising Praises to their King. Amen. Topics: Processional; Sunday Schools Processionals; Sunday Schools Languages: English

Creator Spirit, by Whose aid

Author: John Dryden Hymnal: EH1916 #198b (1916) Tune Title: ATTWOOD Lyrics: Creator Spirit, by whose aid The world's foundations first were laid, Come, visit every humble mind; Come, pour Thy joys on human kind; From sin and sorrow set us free, And make Thy temples worthy thee. O Source of untreated light, The Father's promised Paraclete! Thrice holy Fount, thrice holy Fire, Our hearts with heavenly love inspire; Come, and Thy sacred unction bring To sanctify us while we sing. Plenteous of grace, come from on high, Rich in Thy sevenfold energy; Make us eternal truth receive, And practice all that we believe; Give us Thyself, that we may see The Father and the Son by Thee. Amen. Topics: Whitsunday

Christ is our cornerstone

Author: John Chandler Hymnal: EH1916 #458 (1916) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Tune Title: AUBURNDALE Lyrics: Christ is our cornerstone, On him alone we build: With his true saints alone The courts of heaven are filled; On his great love our hopes we place, Of present grace and joys above. O then with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring; Our voices we will raise The Three in One to sing, And thus proclaim in joyful song, Both loud and long, that glorious Name. Here, gracious God, do thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower on all who pray, Each holy day thy blessings pour. Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore; And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore; Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away. Amen.

He leadeth me! He leadteh me!

Author: Joseph H. Gilmore Hymnal: EH1916 #245 (1916) Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Tune Title: AUGHTON First Line: He leadeth me! O blessed thought! Lyrics: He leadeth me! O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught! Whate'er I do, where'er I be, Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me. He leadeth me! He leadeth me! By his own hand he leadeth me! His faithful follower I would be, For by his hand he leadeth me. Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom, Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, By waters calm, o'er troubled sea, Still 'tis his hand that leadeth me. Lord, I would clasp thy hand in mine, Nor ever murmur nor repine; Content, whatever lot I see, Since 'tis my God that leadeth me. And when my task on earth is done, When, by thy grace, the victory's won, E'en death's cold wave I will not flee, Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

The Church's one foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: EH1916 #464 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Tune Title: AURELIA Lyrics: The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is his new creation By water and the word: From heaven he came and sought her To be his holy bride; With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died. 422 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest; Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee. Amen.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: EH1916 #468 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: AUSTRIA Lyrics: Glorious things of thee are spoken, Sion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for his own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, when such a river Ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 426 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner, Light by night, and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna, Which he gives them when they pray. Blest inhabitants of Sion, Washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 'Tis his love his people raises Over self to reign as kings: And as priests, his solemn praises Each for a thank-offering brings.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah

Author: William Williams; Peter Williams; John Keble Hymnal: EH1916 #42b (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: AUTUMN Lyrics: Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land, I am weak, but thou art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand. Open now the crystal fountains Whence the living waters flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Feed me with the heavenly manna In this barren wilderness; Be my sword, and shield, and banner, Be the Lord my Righteousness. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Amen.

Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing

Author: William A. Mühlenberg Hymnal: EH1916 #75a (1916) Meter: Irregular Tune Title: AVISON First Line: Sion, the marvelous story be telling Lyrics: Shout the glad tidings, exultingly sing, Jerusalem triumphs, Messiah is King! Sion, the marvelous story be telling, The Son of the Highest, how lowly his birth! The brightest archangel in glory excelling, He stoops to redeem thee, he reigns upon earth. Tell how he cometh; from nation to nation, The heart-cheering news let the earth echo round: How free to the faithful he offers salvation, His people with joy everlasting are crowned. Mortals, your homage be gratefully bringing, And sweet let the gladsome hosanna arise: Ye angels, the full alleluia be singing; One chorus resound through the earth and the skies.
