Round the Lord in glory seated
Author: Richard Mant Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Round the Lord in glory seated,
Cherubim and seraphim
Filled His temple, and repeated
Each to each th'alternate hymn:
"Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!"
2 Heaven is still with glory ringing,
Earth takes up the angels' cry,
"Holy, Holy, Holy," singing,
"Lord of hosts, the Lord most high!
Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!"
3 With His seraph-train before Him,
With His holy Church below,
Thus unite we to adore Him,
Bid we thus our anthem flow:
"Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven,
Earth is with its fulness stored;
Unto Thee be glory given,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!"
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Trinity Sunday-The Holy Trinity Used With Tune: ADORATION

My Father, hear my prayer
Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Father, hear my prayer,
Before I go to rest;
It is Thy little child
That cometh to be blest.
2 Forgive me all my sin,
And let me sleep this night
In safety and in peace
Until the morning light.
3 Lord, help me every day
To love Thee more and more,
And try to do Thy will
Much better than before.
4 Now look upon me, Lord,
Ere I lie down to rest;
It is Thy little child
That cometh to be blest.

My Father, hear my prayer
With all the powers my poor heart hath
Author: Thomas Aquinas, d. 1274; Richard Crashaw Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With all the powers my poor heart hath
Of humble love and loyal faith,
I come, dear Lord, to worship Thee,
Whom so much Love bowed low for me.
2 O dear memorial of that Death
Which still survives, and gives us breath!
Live ever, Bread of Life, and be
My food, my joy, my all to me!
3 Come, glorious Lord! My hopes increase,
And mix my portion with Thy peace!
Come, and for ever dwell in me,
That I may only live to Thee.
4 Come, hidden Life, and that long day
For which I languish, come away!
When this faint soul Thy face shall see,
And drink the unsealed Source of Thee:
5 When glory's sun faith's shade shall chase,
And for Thy veil, give me Thy face,
Then shall my praise eternal be
To the Eternal Trinity!

Thy Word, O God, declareth
Author: Johann Walther; Alfred Ramsey Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O God, declareth
No man hath seen or heard
The joys our God prepareth
For them that love their Lord.
Their eyes shall see Thy glory,
Thy face, Thy throne, Thy might;
With shouts shall they adore Thee,
The true, eternal Light.
2 With Thee, their warfare ended,
Thy saints, from earth released,
Shall keep, with glories splendid,
Eternal holy feast.
There shall Thy sons and daughters
The tree of life partake,
Shall drink the living waters;
And bread with Thee shall break.
3 Thy constant praises sounding
Before Thy great white throne,
They all in joy abounding
Shall sing the song unknown;
Laud, honor, praise, thanksgiving
And glory ever be
To Thee, the Everlasting
And Blessèd Trinity.
Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Used With Tune: ST. ANSELM
Thy Word, O God, declareth
Winter reigns o'er many a region
Author: Leonhard Meisser; Joseph Augustus Seiss Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Winter reigns o’er many a region,
Many a seed-field fallow lies;
When, O Lord, shall come the spring-time,
With its quickening energies?
When shall this long night be ended?
When the morning dawn appear?
When shall drought give place to freshness?
When these deserts bloom with cheer?
2 Lord, Thy Church is ever praying:
Now her anxious yearnings hear;
Speed the triumphs of Thy Kingdom,
Spread its victories far and near.
Own the work, Thy grace attend it,
Which we undertake for Thee;
Let a holy love inflame us;
Kindle zeal and fervency.
3 That Thy fields be rightly cultured,
Send the laborers that we need,
Men to light the heavy darkness,
Sow the wastes with precious seed.
Then send down the gentle showers,
Make Thy gracious sunlight shine,
That each field may joy with blessing,
Bringing forth the fruits divine.
4 By the breezes of Thy Spirit,
Fan all deadness into life;
Bless the seeds to Thee upspringing,
Keep each plant from blast and strife.
And, ye toilers in this seeding,
Know the promise God hath given:
Glorious crowns await the faithful,
And eternal gains in heaven.
Amen. Topics: The Church Foreign Missions Used With Tune: BETHANY

O God, I love Thee; not that my poor love
Author: Francis Xavier (?), d. 1552; Edward Henry Bickersteth Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, I love Thee; not that my poor love
May win me entrance to Thy Heaven above,
Nor yet that strangers to Thy love must know
The bitterness of everlasting woe.
2 But, Jesus, Thou art mine, and I am Thine;
Clasped to Thy bosom by Thy arms divine,
Who on the cruel Cross for me hast borne
The nails, the spear, and man’s unpitying scorn.
3 No thought can fathom and no tongue express
Thy griefs, Thy toils, Thy anguish measureless,
Thy death, O Lamb of God the undefiled,--
And all for me, Thy wayward sinful child.
4 How can I choose but love Thee, God’s dear Son,
O Jesus, loveliest, and most loving One!
Were there no heav'n to gain, no hell to flee,
For what Thou art alone I must love Thee.
5 Not for the hope of glory or reward,
But even as Thyself hast loved me, Lord,
I love Thee, and will love Thee and adore,
Who art my King, my God, for evermore.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: PAX DEI
O God, I love Thee; not that my poor love
Not what these hands have done
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done
Can save this guilty soul;
Not what this toiling flesh has borne
Can make this spirit whole.
2 Not what I feel or do
Can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears
Can bear my awful load.
3 Thy work alone, O Christ,
Can ease this weight of sin;
Thy Blood alone, O Lamb of God,
Can give me peace within.
4 Thy love to me, O God,
Not mine, O Lord, to Thee,
Can rid me of this dark unrest,
And set my spirit free.
5 Thy grace alone, O God,
To me can pardon speak;
Thy power alone, O Son of God,
Can this sore bondage break.
6 I bless the Christ of God;
I rest on love divine;
And, with unfaltering lip and heart,
I call this Saviour mine.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Faith Used With Tune: BARNBY'S HYMNARY, TUNE 525

Sunk is the sun's last beam of light
Author: Nicolaus Hermann; Frances Elizabeth Cox Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sunk is the sun's last beam of light,
And now the world is wrapt in night.
Christ, light us with Thy heavenly ray,
Nor let our feet in darkness stray.
2 Thanks, Lord, that Thou throughout the day
Hast kept all grief and harm away;
That angels tarried round about
Our coming in and going out.
3 Whate'er of wrong we've done or said,
Let not the charge on us be laid;
That through Thy free forgiveness blest,
In peaceful slumber we may rest.
4 Thy guardian angels round us place,
All evil from our couch to chase;
Our soul and body, while we sleep,
In safety, gracious Father, keep.
Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening Used With Tune: INTERCESSION

Light of the anxious heart
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux, d. 1153; Robert Campbell Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the anxious heart,
Jesus, Thy suppliants cheer;
Bid Thou the gloom of guilt depart,
And shed Thy sweetness here.
2 O happy he whose breast
Thou makest Thine abode;
Sweet Light that with the pure wilt rest,
For they shall see their God.
3 Brightness of God above,
Unfathomable grace,
Within our hearts implant thy love,
And fix Thy dwelling-place.
4 To lowly minds revealed,
Our Saviour we adore;
Like tribute to the Father yield
And Spirit, evermore.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: GORTON
Light of the anxious heart
Awake, Thou Spirit, Who didst fire
Author: Karl Heinrich von Bogatsky; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, Thou Spirit, Who didst fire
The watchmen of the Church’s youth,
Who faced the foe’s envenomed ire,
Who witnessed day and night Thy truth,
Whose voices loud are ringing still,
And bringing hosts to know Thy will.
2 Lord, let our earnest prayers be heard,
The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray;
For lo, Thy children’s hearts are stirred
In every land in this our day,
To cry with fervent soul to Thee,
O help us, Lord, so let it be!
3 O haste to help, ere we are lost!
Send preachers forth, in spirit strong,
Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host,
Bold to attack the rule of wrong;
Let them the earth for Thee reclaim,
Thy heritage, to know Thy Name.
4 O let Thy Word have speedy course,
Through every land be glorified,
Till all the heathen know its force
And fill Thy churches far and wide;
Wake Israel from her sleep, O Lord,
And spread the conquests of Thy Word!
5 The Church's desert paths restore;
Let stumbling-blocks that in them lie
Hinder Thy Word henceforth no more:
Error destroy, and heresy;
And let Thy Church, from hirelings free,
Bloom as a garden fair to Thee!
Amen.
