Gen. 32:26

Author: John Newton Hymnal: LD1890 #61 (1890) First Line: Lord! I cannot let thee go Lyrics: 1 Lord! I cannot let thee go, Till a blessing thou bestow; Do not turn away thy face, Mine's an urgent, pressing case. 2 Once a sinner, near despair, Sought thy mercy-seat by prayer; Mercy heard and set him free Lord! that mercy came to me. 3 Many days have passed since then, Many changes I have seen; Yet have been upheld till now, Who could hold me up but thou? 4 Thou hast helped in every need This emboldens me to plead; After so much mercy past, Canst thou let me sink at last? 5 No--I must maintain my hold; 'Tis thy goodness makes me bold; I can no denial take, Since I plead for Jesus' sake.

Thy wings shall my petition bear To him, whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless: And, since he bids me seek his face, Believe his word, and trust his grace, I'll cast on him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: LD1890 #63 (1890) First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of hosts, eternal King, By the heavens and earth adored; Angels and archangels sing, Chanting everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 2 Thousands, tens of thousands, stand, Spirits blest, before the throne, Speeding thence at thy command, And, when thy commands are done, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 3 Cherubim and seraphim Vail their faces with their wings; Eyes of angels are too dim To behold the King of kings, While they sing eternally To the blessed Trinity. 4 Thee apostles, prophets thee, Thee the noble martyr band, Praise with solemn jubilee, Thee, the church in every land; Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity. 5 Hallelujah! Lord, to thee, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; Godhead one, and Persons three; Join us with the heavenly host, Singing everlastingly To the blessed Trinity.

Dix Hymnal: LD1890 #65 (1890) First Line: As with gladness men of old Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour, to thy manger bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At thy cradle rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to thee our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds thy glory hide.
