Behold us, Lord, a little space
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: LHTC1918 #429 (1917) Tune Title: BEATITUDO 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.
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: Times and Seasons At the Opening of Service Languages: English
Behold us, Lord, a little space
O help us, Lord! each hour of need
Author: Henry Hart Milman Hymnal: LHTC1918 #404 (1917) Tune Title: BEDFORD Lyrics: 1 O help us, Lord! each hour of need
Thy heavenly succor give:
Help us in thought, and word, and deed,
Each hour on earth we live.
2 O help us when our spirits bleed,
With contrite anguish sore;
And when our hearts are cold and dead,
O help us, Lord, the more.
3 O help us, through the prayer of faith,
More firmly to believe;
For still, the more the servant hath,
The more shall he receive.
4 O help us, Jesus, from on high;
We know no help but Thee!
O help us so to live and die
As Thine in heaven to be!
Amen.

O help us, Lord! each hour of need
Love divine, all love excelling
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: LHTC1918 #276b (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: BEECHER Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All Thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart!
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit
Into every troubled breast;
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy 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;
Graciously return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy precious 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 heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English
Love divine, all love excelling
Winter reigns o'er many a region
Author: Leonhard Meisser; Joseph Augustus Seiss Hymnal: LHTC1918 #228 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: BETHANY 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 Languages: English

Nearer my God, to Thee
Author: Sarah Flower Adams Hymnal: LHTC1918 #407b (1917) Tune Title: BETHANY First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee;
E'en though it be a cross
That raiseth me.
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
2 Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,
Darkness be over me,
My rest a stone.
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
3 There let my way appear
Steps unto heaven;
All that Thou sendest me
In mercy given;
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
4 Then with my waking thoughts,
Bright with Thy praise,
Out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
5 Or, if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot,
Upwards I fly:
Still, all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee!
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Languages: English

The Advent of our God
Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Hymnal: LHTC1918 #4 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: BETHLEHEM Lyrics: 1 The Advent of our God
Our prayers must now employ,
And we must meet Him on His road
With hymns of holy joy.
2 The Everlasting Son
Incarnate deigns to be;
Himself a servant’s form puts on
To set His people free.
3 Daughter of Zion, rise
To meet thy lowly King,
Nor let thy faithless heart despise
The peace He comes to bring.
4 As judge, on clouds of light,
He soon will come again,
And all His scattered saints unite
With Him in heaven to reign.
5 Before the dawning day
Let sin’s dark deeds be gone;
The old man all be put away,
The new man all put on!
6 All glory to the Son,
Who comes to set us free,
With Father, Spirit, ever One,
Through all eternity. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English
The Advent of our God
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: LHTC1918 #28 (1917) Tune Title: BETHLEHEM Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground,
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
"Fear not," said he,--for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind,--
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring
To you and all mankind."
2 "To you, in David's town this day,
Is born of David's line
A Saviour, who is Christ the Lord,
And this shall be the sign:--
The heavenly Babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swaddling bands,
And in a manger laid."
3 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, and thus
Addressed their joyful song:--
"All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good-will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin, and never cease!"
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Languages: English
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Since Jesus is my Friend
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #342 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: BETHLEHEM Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my Friend,
And I to Him belong,
It matters not what foes intend,
However fierce and strong.
2 I rest upon the ground
Of Jesus and His Blood,
For 'tis through Him that I have found
The true eternal Good.
3 His Spirit in me dwells,
O'er all my mind He reigns,
All care and sadness He dispels,
And soothes away all pains.
4 He whispers in my breast
Sweet words of holy cheer,
How he who seeks in God his rest
Shall ever find Him near;
5 How God hath built above
A city fair and new,
Where eye and heart shall see and prove
What faith has counted true.
6 My heart for gladness springs,
It cannot more be sad;
For very joy it laughs and sings,
Sees naught but sunshine glad.
7 The sun that lights mine eyes
Is Christ the Lord I love;
I sing for joy of that which lies
Stored up for me above.
Amen.

Since Jesus is my Friend
What cheering words are these!
Author: John Kent Hymnal: LHTC1918 #411 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: BETHLEHEM Lyrics: 1 What cheering words are these!
Their sweetness who can tell!
In time and to eternal days,
"’Tis with the righteous well."
2 In every state secure,
Kept by Jehovah’s eye,
’Tis well with them while life endure,
And well when called to die.
3 ’Tis well when joys arise;
’Tis well when sorrows flow;
’Tis well when darkness veils the skies,
And strong temptations blow.
4 ’Tis well when on the mount
They feast on dying Love:
And ’tis as well in God’s account,
When they the furnace prove.
5 'Tis well when Jesus calls:
"From earth and sin arise;
Join with the hosts of ransomed souls,
Made to salvation wise."
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Languages: English

Who trusts in God, a strong abode
Author: Joachim Magdeburg; Joachim Magdeburg; Benjamin Hall Kennedy; William Walsham How Hymnal: LHTC1918 #334a (1917) Tune Title: BISHOPGARTH Lyrics: 1 Who trusts in God, a strong abode
In heaven and earth possesses;
Who looks in love to Christ above,
No fear his heart oppresses.
In Thee alone, dear Lord, we own
Sweet hope and consolation;
Our shield from foes, our balm for woes,
Our great and sure salvation.
2 Though Satan's wrath beset our path
And worldly scorn assail us,
While Thou art near we will not fear;
Thy strength shall never fail us.
Thy rod and staff shall keep us safe,
And guide our steps for ever;
Nor shades of death, nor hell beneath,
Our souls from Thee shall sever.
3 In all the strife of mortal life
Our feet shall stand securely;
Temptation's hour shall lose its power,
For Thou shalt guard us surely.
O God, renew, with heavenly dew,
Our body, soul, and spirit,
Until we stand at Thy right hand,
Through Jesus' saving merit.
Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Faith Languages: English
