O Day of Rest and Gladness
Author: Bishop C. Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 812 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
Most beautiful, most bright;
On thee, the high and lowly,
Bending before the throne,
Sing, Holy, Holy, Holy,
To the great Three in One.
2 On thee, at the creation,
The light first had its birth;
On thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth.
On thee, our Lord victorious
The Spirit sent from Heav'n;
And thus on thee most glorious
A triple light was given.
3 Today on weary nations
The heav'nly manna falls;
To holy convocations
The silver trumpet calls,
Where gospel light is glowing
With pure and radiant beams,
And living water flowing
With soul-refreshing streams.
4 New graces ever gaining
From this our day of rest,
We reach the rest remaining
To spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
To Father and to Son;
The Church her voice upraises
To Thee, blest Three in One.
Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: MENDEBRAS

A light to shine upon the road
That leads me to the Lamb!

Whate'er that idol be,
Help me to tear it from Thy throne,
And worship only Thee.
3. So shall my walk be close with God,
Calm and serene my frame;
So purer light shall mark the road
That leads me to the Lamb! Topics: The Christian Life Sanctification Used With Tune: BEATITUDO

O For a Faith That Will Not Shrink
Author: REv. W. H. Bathurst Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 687 hymnals First Line: O, for a faith that will not shrink Lyrics: 1. O for a faith that will not shrink.
Tho' 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 chast'ning 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 heav'nly ray
Lights up a dying bed!
6. Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then what-e'er may come,
We'll taste e'en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home. Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Trust Used With Tune: ST. AGNES

O For a Thousand Tongues
Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,731 hymnals First Line: O for a thousand tongues to sing Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace.
2 My gracious Master and my God,
O help me to proclaim,
To spread thro' all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
3 Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
'Tis music in the sinner's ear,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.
4 He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin,
He sets the pris'ner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
5 Hear Him, ye deaf; His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come;
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
Amen. Topics: Praise Used With Tune: AZMON

O God, Beneath Thy Guiding Hand
Author: Rev. Leonard Bacon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 283 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, beneath Thy guiding hand
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea;
And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worshiped Thee.
2. Thou heard'st well pleased, the song, the prayer:
Thy blessing came; and still its pow'r
Shall onward, thro' all ages, bear
The mem'ry of that holy hour.
3. Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves;
And where their pilgrim feet have trod,
The God they trusted guards their graves.
4. And here Thy Name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.

Darkness and light;
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night;
May Thine angel-guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This live-long night.
2 And when morn again shall call us
To run life's way,
May we still, whate'er befall us,
Thy will obey.
From the pow'r of evil hide us,
In the narrow pathway guide us,
Nor Thy smile be e'er denied us
The live-long day.
3 Holy Father, throned in heaven,
All-holy Son,
Holy Spirit, freely given,
Blest Three in One,
Grant Thy grace, we now implore Thee,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
And in worthier strains adore Thee,
While ages run.
Amen. Topics: God In Nature Evening Used With Tune: AR HYD Y NOS

O Holy Savior! Friend Unseen

Since on Thine arm Thou bidd'st me lean,
Help me throughout life's changing scene,
By faith to cling to Thee.

Take what Thou wilt, shall I repine?
E'en as the branches to the vine,
My soul may cling to Thee.
3. What though the world deceitful prove,
And earthly friends and joys remove;
With patient, uncomplaining love,
Still would I cling to Thee.
4. Oft when I seem to tread alone
Some barren waste, with thorns o'ergrown,
A voice of love, in gentlest tone,
Whispers, "Still cling to Me."
5. Though faith and hope may long be tried,
I ask not, need not, aught beside;
How safe, how calm, how satisfied,
The soul that clings to Thee. Topics: The Christian Life Faith and Trust Used With Tune: FLEMMING

And long to feast upon Thee still;
We drink of Thee, the Fountain-head,
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill,
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill.

Where'er our change-ful lot is cast,
Glad that Thy gracious smile we see,
Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast,
Blest, that our faith can hold Thee fast.

Make all our moments calm and bright;
Chase the dark night of sin away,

O Lamb of God, Still Keep Me
Author: James G. Deck Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 161 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lamb of God, still keep me
Near to Thy wounded side!
'Tis only there in safety
And peace I can abide.
What foes and snares surround me!
What doubts and fears within!
The grace that sought and found me,
Alone can keep me clean.

I know my life secure;
Only in Thee abiding,
The conflict can endure.
Thine arm the vict'ry gaineth
O'er ev'ry hateful foe;
Thy love my heart sustaineth
In all its care and woe.
3. Soon shall my eyes behold Thee,
With rapture, face to face;
One half hath not been told me
Of all Thy pow'r and grace.
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
The wonders of Thy love,
Shall be the endless story
Of all Thy saints above. Topics: The Christian Life Sanctification Used With Tune: ROTTERDAM

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Bishop Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 842 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary;
and gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondr'ing love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth. Topics: Jesus Christ Birth Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS
