O for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: HTLG2017 #252 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, a calm and heav'nly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew when first I sought the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view of Jesus and His Word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, and drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne and worship only Thee. 6 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.

Come, Thou Fount

Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: HTLG2017 #253 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing Lyrics: 1 Come, Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount--I'm fixed upon it-- mount of God's unchanging love. 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I've come; and I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand'ring from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood. 3 Oh, to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wand'ring heart to Thee; prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it; seal it for Thy courts above.

Then let love inspire each breast. Members on our Head depending, lights reflecting Him, our Sun, Christians, His commands attending, we in Him, our Lord, are one. 2 Come, then, come, O flock of Jesus, covenant with Him anew; unto Him who conquered for us, pledge we love and service true; and should our love’s union holy firmly linked no more remain, wait ye at His footstool lowly, till He draw it close again. 3 Grant, Lord, that with Thy direction "Love each other," we comply. Aiming with unfeigned affection Thy love to exemplify, let our mutual love be glowing, so that all will plainly see that we, as on one stem growing, living branches are in Thee. 4 O that such may be our union as Thine with the Father is, and not one of our communion e’er forsake the path of bliss; may our light shine forth with brightness, from Thy light reflected, shine; thus the world will bear us witness, that we, Lord, are truly Thine.

Let us all in Thee inherit; let us find the promised rest. Take away the love of sinning; Alpha and Omega be; end of faith, as its beginning: set our hearts at liberty. 3 Come, Almighty, to deliver; let us all Thy life receive; suddenly return and never, nevermore Thy temples leave. Thee we would be always blessing, serve Thee as Thy hosts above, pray and praise Thee without ceasing, glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation; pure and spotless let us be. Let us see Thy great salvation perfectly restored in Thee. Changed from glory into glory, till in heav'n we take our place, till we cast our crowns before Thee, lost in wonder, love, and praise.

From strength to strength go on, wrestle and fight and pray; tread all the pow'rs of darkness down and win the well-fought day. 3 Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul; take ev'ry virtue, ev'ry grace, and fortify the whole. That, having all things done and all your conflicts past, ye may o'ercome through Christ alone and stand complete at last. Topics: Submission and Profession Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA

Yes, I believe the Holy Ghost is very God who calls the penitent to His true church, where each communes with all. 4 Yes, I believe God does forgive the sins of those who come to Him confessing Jesus Lord and trusting in His name. Yes, I believe the righteous dead Christ's resurrection share, that blessed life with Him for all eternity is theirs. Languages: English Tune Title: OESTREICH

Yet who that knows the worth of pray'r but wishes to be often there! 2 Pray'r makes the darkened clouds withdraw; pray'r climbs the ladder Jacob saw; gives exercise to faith and love; brings ev'ry blessing from above. 3 Restraining pray'r, we cease to fight; pray'r makes the Christian’s armor bright; and Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Have you no words? Ah, think again: words flow apace when you complain, and fill a fellow-creature’s ear with the sad tale of all your care. 5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent to heav’n in supplication sent, our cheerful song would oft’ner be, "Hear what the Lord hath done for me!"

To Avert from Men God's Wrath

Author: John Hus; Martin Luther; Christian Ignatius La Trobe Hymnal: HTLG2017 #280 (2017) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 To avert from men God’s wrath, Jesus suffered in our stead; by an ignominious death He a full atonement made; and by His most precious blood brought us, sinners, nigh to God. 2 Christ bids each afflicted soul, "Come that I may soothe your grief. No one who is strong and whole needs a doctor for relief; therefore have no fear, draw nigh, that your want I may supply." 3 But examine first your case, whether you be in the faith; do you long for pard’ning grace? Is your only hope His death? Then, how e’er your soul’s oppressed, come, you are a worthy guest. 4 They who Jesus’ mercy knows are from wrath and envy freed; love unto our neighbor shows that we are His flock indeed; thus we may in all our ways show forth our Redeemer’s praise.

And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord, to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish, is with her to the end; tho' there be those that hate her, and false sons in her pale, against the foe or traitor she ever shall prevail. 5 '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. 6 Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won.

Author: Samuel Medley Hymnal: HTLG2017 #290 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 On Christ salvation rests secure; the Rock of Ages must endure; nor can that faith be overthrown which rests upon the "Living Stone." 2 No other hope shall intervene; to Him we look, on Him we lean; other foundations we disown and build on Christ the "Living Stone." 3 In Him, it is ordained to raise a temple to Jehovah's praise composed of all the saints, who own no Savior but the "Living Stone." 4 View the vast building, see it rise; the work how great! the plan how wise! O wondrous fabric, pow'r unknown that rests it on the "Living Stone." 5 But most adore His precious name; His glory and His grace proclaim; for us, condemned, despised, undone, He gave Himself, the "Living Stone."

Built on the Rock

Author: Nikolai F. S. Grundtvig; Carl Doving Hymnal: HTLG2017 #292 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Built on the Rock, the church shall stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the church shall stand even when steeples are falling; Christ builds His church in ev'ry land; bells still are chiming and calling, calling the young and old to rest, calling the souls of those distressed, longing for life everlasting. 2 Not in a temple made with hands God the Almighty is dwelling; high in the heav'ns His temple stands, all earthly temples excelling. Yet He who dwells in heav'n above chooses to live with us in love, making our body His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, built for His own habitation; He fills our hearts, His humble thrones, granting us life and salvation. Yet to the place, an earthly frame, we come with thanks to praise His name; God grants His people true blessing. 4 Thro' all the passing years, O Lord, grant that, when church bells are ringing, many may come to hear God's Word where He this promise is bringing: "I know My own, My own know Me, you, not the world, My face shall see; My peace I leave with you. Amen." Topics: The Church Languages: English Tune Title: KIRKEN DEN ER ET

For All the Saints

Alleluia, Alleluia! 2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress and their Might; Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well fought fight; Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light. Alleluia, Alleluia! 3 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine. Alleluia, Alleluia! 4 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia, Alleluia! 5 But then there breaks a still more glorious day: the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory passes on His way. Alleluia, Alleluia! 6 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, in praise of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia!

A Charge to Keep I Have

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HTLG2017 #294 (2017) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, a God to glorify, a never dying soul to save, and fit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, my calling to fulfill, O may it all my pow'rs engage to do my Master's will! 3 Arm me with watchful care as in Thy sight to live, and now Thy servant, Lord, prepare a strict account to give! 4 Help me to watch and pray, and still on Thee rely, O let me not my trust betray, but press to realms on high.

Christ for the World We Sing

Author: Samuel Wolcott Hymnal: HTLG2017 #295 (2017) Meter: 6.6.4.6.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 Christ for the world we sing; the world to Christ we bring with loving zeal; the poor and them that mourn, the faint and overborne, sin-sick and sorrow-worn, for Christ doth heal. 2 Christ for the world we sing; the world to Christ we bring with fervent pray'r; the wayward and the lost, by restless passions tossed, redeemed at countless cost from dark despair. 3 Christ for the world we sing; the world to Christ we bring with one accord; with us the work to share, with us reproach to dare, with us the cross to bear, for Christ our Lord. 4 Christ for the world we sing; the world to Christ we bring with joyful song; the newborn souls whose days, reclaimed from error's ways, inspired with hope and praise, to Christ belong.

Hark, the Voice of Jesus Calling

Author: Daniel March Hymnal: HTLG2017 #296 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Hark, the voice of Jesus crying, "Who will go and work today? Fields are ripe and harvests waiting; Who will bear the sheaves away?" Long and loud the Master calls us, rich reward He offers free; who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I, send me, send me"? 2 If you cannot cross the ocean, and the distant lands explore, you can find the lost around you, you can help them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands, you can give the widow's mite; what you truly give for Jesus, will be precious in His sight. 3 If you cannot be the watchman standing high on Zion's wall, pointing out the path to heaven, off'ring life and peace to all, with your pray'rs and with your bounties you can do what heav'n demands; you can be like faithful Aaron, holding up the prophet's hands. 4 Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do," while the lost of earth are dying, and the Master calls for you; take the task He gives you gladly; let His work your pleasure be; answer quickly when He calls you, "Here am I, send me, send me."

Ye Servants of God, Your Master Proclaim

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HTLG2017 #297 (2017) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, and publish abroad His wonderful Name; the Name all victorious of Jesus extol; His kingdom is glorious; He rules over all. 2 God rules in the height, almighty to save; though hid from our sight, His presence we have; the great congregation His triumph shall sing, ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King. 3 "Salvation to God, who sits on the throne!" Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son; the praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb. 4 So let us adore and give Him His right: all glory and pow'r, all wisdom and might, all honor and blessing, with angels above, and praises unceasing for infinite love.

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: HTLG2017 #299 (2017) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come; raise the song of harvest home. All is safely gathered in ere the winter storms begin. God, our Maker, doth provide for our wants to be supplied; come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home. 2 All the world is God's own field, fruit unto His praise to yield, wheat and tares together sown, unto joy or sorrow grown. First the blade, and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear, Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come and shall take His harvest home; from His field shall in that day all offenses purge away, give His angels charge at last in the fire the tares to cast, but the fruitful ears to store in His garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come to Thy final harvest home; gather Thou Thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, there forever purified, in Thy presence to abide. Come, with all Thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home. Topics: Commission Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Go, Labor On

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HTLG2017 #300 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Go, labor on; spend, and be spent Lyrics: 1 Go, labor on; spend, and be spent, thy joy to do the Father's will; it is the way the Master went; should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go, labor on; 'tis not for naught; thine earthly loss is heav'nly gain; men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; the Master praises--what are men? 3 Go labor on; enough while here if He shall praise thee, if He deign thy willing heart to mark and cheer; no toil for Him shall be in vain. 4 Go, labor on while it is day: the world's dark night is hast'ning on. Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away; It is not thus that souls are won. 5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch and pray; be wise the erring soul to win; go forth into the world's highway, compel the wand'rer to come in. 6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice; for toil comes rest, for exile home; soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, the midnight peal, "Behold, I come."
