Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us

Author: J. Edmeston Meter: 8.7 Appears in 358 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea; Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee: Yet possessing Every blessing, If our God our Father be. 2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us; All our weakness Thou dost know; Thou didst tread this earth before us; Thou didst feel its keenest woe; Lone and dreary, Faint and weary, Through the desert Thou didst go. 3 Spirit of our God, descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy; Love with every passion blending, Pleasure that can never cloy: Thus provided, Pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy.

Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious

Author: Rev. Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7 Appears in 541 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious; See the "Man of sorrows" now; From the fight returned victorious, Every knee to Him shall bow; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. 2 Crown the Saviour, angels crown Him; Rich the trophies Jesus brings; On the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown the Saviour King of kings. 3 Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus the Saviour's claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him, Own His title, praise His name: Crown Him! Crown Him! Spread abroad the Victor's fame. 4 Hark! those bursts of acclamation! Hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; Oh what joy the sight affords! Crown Him! Crown Him! King of kings, and Lord of lords. Amen. Topics: Ascensiontide Used With Tune: [Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious]

O'er those gloomy hills of darkness

Author: William Williams Meter: 8.7 Appears in 411 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O'er those gloomy hills of darkness Look, my soul, be still and gaze: All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace. Blessed Jubilee, Let thy glorious morning down. 2 Let the Indian, let the Negro, Let the rude Barbarian see That divine and glorious conquest, Once obtained on Calvary; Let the Gospel Wide resound from pole to pole. 4 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light, And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night; And redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 4 May the glorious day approaching, Thine eternal Love proclaim, And the everlasting Gospel Spread abroad Thy holy Name, O'er the borders Of the great Emmanuel's land. 5 Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway Thy sceptre, Saviour, all the world around.

To my heart, oh, enter Thou, Let it be Thy temple now. 3 Here Thy praise is gladly chanted, Here Thy seed is duly sown; Let my soul, where it is planted, Bring forth precious sheaves alone, So that all I hear may be Fruitful unto life in me. 4 Thou my faith increase and quicken, Let me keep Thy Gift divine, Howsoe'er temptations thicken; May Thy Word still o'er me shine, As my pole-star through my life, As my comfort in my strife. 5 Speak, O God, and I will hear Thee, Let Thy will be done indeed; May I undisturbed draw near Thee Whilst Thou dost Thy people feed. Here of life the fountain flows, Here is balm for all our woes. Topics: The Beginning of Worship

Author: Caswall Meter: 8.7 Appears in 134 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding; "Christ is nigh," it seems to say; "Cast away the works of darkness O ye children of the day!" 2 Wakened by the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling, Shines upon the morning skies. 3 Lo! the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heaven; Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all to be forgiven; 4 So when next He comes in glory, Wrapping all the world in fear, May He with His mercy shield us, And with words of love draw near.

Saviour, sprinkle many nations

Author: Bishop Coxe Meter: 8.7 Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee! 2 Of Thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. 3 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast, Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. 4 Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. 5 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting! Stretched the hand and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. 6 Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung! Amen. Used With Tune: [Saviour, sprinkle many nations]
