Be still, my soul, for God is near

Author: William Dalrymple Maclagan, 1826 - 1910 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #267 (1958) 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 Tune Title: ANGELUS

Truly I'd love thee, Truly I'd serve thee, Light of my soul, my joy, my crown. 2 Fair are the meadows, Fair are the woodlands, Robed in flowers of blooming spring; Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, He makes our sorrowing spirit sing. 3 Fair is the sunshine, Fair is the moonlight, Bright the sparkling stars on high; Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer, Than all the angels in the sky. 4 Beautiful Saviour, Lord of the nations, Son of God and Son of Man!

Before Jehovah's aweful throne

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748; John Wesley, 1703 - 91 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #161 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's aweful throne, Ye nations bow with sacred joy: Know that the Lord is God alone, He can create, and he destroy. 2 His sovereign power, without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to his fold again. 3 We are his people, we his care, Our souls and all our mortal frame: What lasting honors shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to thy Name? 4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs, High as the heavens our voices raise, And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is thy command, Vast as eternity thy love; Firm as a rock thy truth shall stand, When rolling years shall cease to move.

Before the Lord we bow

Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779-1843 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #339 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord we bow, The God who reigns above, And rules the world below, Boundless in power and love. Our thanks we bring In joy and praise, Our hearts we raise To heaven's high King. 2 The nation thou hast blest May well thy love declare, From foes and fears at rest, Protected by thy care. For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay-- Gifts of thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in thy word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth, hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own; Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship him alone, Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power he comes, O may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

Behold a host like mountains bright!

Author: Hans Adolf Brorson, 1694 - 1764 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #599 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Behold a host like mountains bright! Lo! who are these, arrayed in white, A glorious band, with palms in hand Around the throne of light? Lo, these are they who overcame Great tribulation in his Name, And with his Blood the Lamb of God Hath washed away their shame. Before God's face they sing and pray, Their voices blend with angels' lay, And all conspire, a joyous choir, To laud him night and day. 2 Then sing, ye conquering legions white, Let myriad voices hail his might, And praise the Lord, who by his word Hath stablished you in light. Ye, who all earthly lure did flee, Who sowed and toiled, but tears to see, With rapture bring your sheaves and sing A heavenly melody. Lift up your palms, your voices raise Through heaven's vault and endless days. To God and to the Lamb is due Eternity of praise.

Behold us, Lord, a little space

Author: John Ellerton, 1826 - 93 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #213 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Behold us, Lord, a little space From daily tasks set free, And met within thy holy place To rest awhile with thee. 2 Around us rolls the ceaseless tide Of business, toil and care; And scarcely can we turn aside For one brief hour of prayer. 3 Yet these are not the only walls Wherein thou mayst be sought; On homeliest work thy blessing falls, In truth and patience wrought. A-men. 4 Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart, The wealth of land and sea, The worlds of science and of art Revealed and ruled by thee. 5 Then let us prove our heavenly birth In all we do and know: And claim the kingdom of the earth For thee, and not thy foe. 6 Work shall be prayer, if all be wrought As thou wouldst have it done; And prayer, by thee inspired and taught, Itself with work be one. Amen. Topics: The Church Worship - The Day's Work Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO

Believing fathers oft have told

Author: Archibald Hamilton Charteris, 1835 - 1908 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #540 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Believing fathers oft have told What things by God were done, When faithful men in days of old Their lifelong battle won: True brothers all, of one accord, We hold one faith, we serve one Lord. 2 Amid the world’s confused noise, Where we but darkly see, The Christ appeals, with sweet, clear voice: 'My brothers, follow me, Like brothers true, of one accord, To hold one faith, to serve one Lord.' 3 His Church our shelter, he our guide, Our strength his healing Cross, We range ourselves upon his side, Where none can suffer loss. Like brothers true, of one accord, We hold one faith and serve one Lord. A-men. 4 So by thy Spirit mold us, Lord; Inspire our hearts to pray; Our hungry souls feed with thy Word, Teach all of us to say: 'True brothers all, of one accord, We hold one faith, we serve one Lord.' 5 We fain would serve thy Church e'en now, With hearts from self set free, Striving to make thy kingdom grow, O God, so may it be, That, brothers true, with one accord, We hold the faith and serve the Lord! Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Consecration; The Life In Christ Service Languages: English Tune Title: MEIRINGEN

Beneath the Cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand

Author: Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830 - 69 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #482 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Beneath the Cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand; The shadow of a mighty rock Within a weary land; A home within a wilderness, A rest upon the way, From the burning of the noontide heat And burdens of the day. 2 Upon that Cross of Jesus, Mine eyes at times can see The very dying form of One Who suffered there for me; And from my smitten heart, with tears, Two wonders I confess: The wonders of his glorious love, And my own worthlessness. 3 I take, O Cross, thy shadow For my abiding-place; I ask no other sunshine than The sunshine of his face: Content to let the world go by, To know no gain nor loss, My sinful self my only shame, My glory all, the Cross.

Beyond the everlasting hills

Author: Ernest Edwin Ryden, b.1886 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #295 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Beyond the everlasting hills, Above the starry skies, My spirit seeks the home of peace, Where tears shall dim no eyes. 2 No shadows there shall ever fall, Nor weary night and long; No silver cords shall broken be To hush the sound of song. A-men. 3 There shall I find again the love Of those I cherished here; And friendship's ties shall holier be, And bonds of love more dear. 4 There shall I see thee, O my God, Creator, Saviour, Friend; And with angelic voices join In worship without end.
