When my last hour is close at hand
Author: Edgar Alfred Bowring; Nikolaus Hermann Hymnal: CBWM1872 #547 (1890) Person Name: Edgar Alfred Bowring Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand,
My last sad journey taken,
Do Thou, Lord Jesus! by me stand,
Let me not be forsaken.
O Lord, my spirit I resign
Into Thy loving hands divine;
'Tis safe within Thy keeping.
2 Countless as sands upon the shore,
My sins may then appall me;
Yet, though my conscience vex me sore,
Despair shall not enthrall me:
For as I draw my latest breath,
I'll think, Lord Christ! upon Thy Death,
And there find consolation.
3 I shall not in the grave remain,
Since Thou death's bonds hast severed;
But hope with Thee to rise again,
From fear of death delivered,
For where Thou art, there I shall be.
That I may ever live with Thee:
This is my joy in dying.
4 And so to Jesus Christ I'll go,
My longing arms extending;
So fall asleep in slumber deep,
Slumber that knows no ending,
Till Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Opens the gates of bliss, leads on
To heaven, to life eternal. Topics: Death and Eternity Preparation for Death; Easter Eve; Sixteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Fifth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: WENN MEIN STÜNDLEIN VORHANDEN IST
When my last hour is close at hand
God is Love: His mercy brightens
Author: Sir John Bowring Hymnal: CBWM1872 #78 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Person Name: Sir John Bowring Lyrics: 1 God is Love: His mercy brightens
All the path in which we rove;
Bliss He wakes, and woe He lightens:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
2 Chance and change are busy ever;
Man decays, and ages move;
But His mercy waneth never:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
3 Even the hour that darkest seemeth
Will His changeless goodness prove:
From the gloom His brighness streameth:
God is Wisdom, God is Love.
4 He with earthly cares entwineth
Hope and comfort from above:
Everywhere His glory shineth;
God is Wisdom, God is Love. Topics: God His Mercy and Faithfulness; Fourth Sunday after Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART

In the Cross of Christ I glory
Author: Sir John Bowring Hymnal: CBWM1872 #157 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Person Name: Sir John Bowring Lyrics: 1 In the Cross of Christ I glory,
Towering o'er the wrecks of time;
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the Cross forsake me;
Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the Cross the radiance streaming
Adds new luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the Cross are sanctified;
Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

To Thee be ever given:

My God, accept my heart this day
I love to steal awhile away
Author: Phoebe H. Brown Hymnal: CBWM1872 #534 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Phoebe H. Brown Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumbering care,
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear,
And all His promises to plead
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore,
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On Him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven;
The prospect doth my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day. Topics: Private Devotion Languages: English Tune Title: WOLVERHAMPTON

Frequent the day of God returns
Author: Simon Browne Hymnal: CBWM1872 #54 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Simon Browne Lyrics: 1 Frequent the day of God returns,
To shed its quickening beams;
And yet how slow devotion burns,
How languid are its flames!
2 Accept my faint attempts to love;
Our frailties, Lord, forgive.
We would be like Thy saints above,
And praise Thee while we live.
3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope,
And fit us to ascend
Where the assembly ne'er breaks up,
The Sabbath ne'er shall end;
4 Where we shall breathe in heavenly air,
With heavenly lustre shine;
Before the throne of God appear,
And feast on Love divine. Topics: Worship Public Worship Languages: English Tune Title: BEDFORD

In His enjoyment to be blest.

How happy is the man who hears
Author: Michael Bruce Hymnal: CBWM1872 #377 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Michael Bruce Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears
Instruction’s warning voice,
And who celestial wisdom makes
His early, only choice!
2 For she has treasures greater far
Than east or west unfold;
And her rewards more precious are
Than all their stores of gold.
3 She guides the young with innocence
In pleasure’s paths to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the hoary head.
4 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace. Topics: The Order of Salvation Faith and Justification; Twenty Third Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Proverbs 3:13 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT
How happy is the man who hears
Thou, who hast in Zion laid
Author: Agnes Bulmer Hymnal: CBWM1872 #291 (1890) Meter: 7.6.8 Person Name: Agnes Bulmer Lyrics: 1 Thou, who hast in Zion laid
The true Foundation-Stone,
And with those a covenant made
Who build on that alone:
Hear us, Architect divine!
Great Builder of thy Church below!
Now upon Thy servants shine,
Who seek Thy praise to show.
2 Earth is Thine; her thousand hills
Thy mighty hand sustains;
Heaven Thy awful presence fills;
O'er all Thy glory reigns:
Yet the place of all prepared
By regal David's favored son,
Thy peculiar blessing shared,
And stood thy chosen throne.
3 We, like Jesse's son, would raise
A temple to the Lord;
Sound throughout its courts His praise,
His saving Name record;
Dedicate a house to Him
Who once, in mortal weakness shrined,
Sorrowed, suffered, to redeem,
To rescue all mankind.
4 Father, Son, and Spirit, send
The consecrating flame;
Now in majesty descend,
Inscribe the living Name:
That great Name by which we live,
Now write on this accepted stone;
Us into Thy hands receive;
Our temple make Thy throne.

Life and Strength of all who live!
In the presence of the angels,
Glory to Thy name we give:
And Thy wondrous praise rehearse,
Singing in harmonious verse.
2 Blessed Lord, by their protection,
Shelter us from harm this day:
Keep us pure in flesh and spirit;
Save us from the enemy:
And vouchsafe us, by Thy grace,
In Thy paradise a place.
3 Glory to the almighty Father,
Let our voices now repeat;
Glory to the great Redeemer;
Glory to the Paraclete;
Three in one and One in Three,
Throughout all eternity. Topics: The Ministry of Angels; Easter Sunday Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY
