Blessing and honor, and glory and power

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #166 (1958) Person Name: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Lyrics: 1 Blessing and honor, and glory and power, Wisdom, and riches, and strength evermore, Give ye to him who our battle hath won, Whose are the kingdom, the crown and the throne, Whose are the kingdom, the crown and the throne. 2 Dwelleth the light of the glory with him, Light of a glory that cannot grow dim, Light in its silence and beauty and calm, Light in its gladness and brightness and balm, Light in its gladness and brightness and balm. 3 Ever ascendeth the song and the joy, Ever descendeth the love from on high, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and praise, This is the theme of the hymns that we raise. 4 Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb; Take we the robe and the harp and the palm; Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain, Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

A-men. 4 I have no help but thine; nor do I need Another arm save thine to lean upon; It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in thy might, thy might alone. 5 Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; Mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing Blood; Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; Thy Blood, thy righteousness, O Lord, my God.

I bring my guilt to Jesus, To wash my crimson stains White in his Blood most precious, Till not a spot remains. 2 I lay my wants on Jesus; All fullness dwells in him; He heals all my diseases, He doth my soul redeem. I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I long to be like Jesus, Meek, loving, lowly, mild; I long to be, like Jesus, The Father's holy child. I long to be with Jesus, Amid the heavenly throng, To sing with saints his praises, To learn the angels' song.

How blessed from the bonds of sin

Author: Jane Borthwick, 1813 - 97; Karl Johann Philipp Spitta, 1801 - 59 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #60 (1958) Person Name: Jane Borthwick, 1813 - 97 Lyrics: 1 How blessed from the bonds of sin And earthly fetters free, In singleness of heart and aim Thy servant, Lord, to be! The hardest toil to undertake With joy at thy command, The meanest office to receive With meekness at thy hand! 2 With willing heart and longing eyes To watch before thy gate, Ready to run the weary race, To bear the heavy weight; No voice of thunder to expect, But follow, calm and still, For love can easily divine The One Beloved’s will. 3 Thus may we serve thee, gracious Lord! Thus ever thine alone, Our souls and bodies given to thee, The purchase thou hast won; Through evil or through good report Still keeping by thy side. By life or death, in this poor flesh Let Christ be magnified! 4 How happily the working days In this dear service fly! How rapidly the closing hour, The time of rest, draws nigh! When all the faithful gather home, A joyful company, And ever where the Master is, Shall his blest servants be. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Languages: English Tune Title: RELEASE

A-men. 3 When we seek relief From a long-felt grief, When temptations come alluring Make us patient and enduring; Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. 4 Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won; Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand In our fatherland!

All pain before thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but thee. 4 Unwearied, may I this pursue, Dauntless, to this high prize aspire; Hourly within my soul renew This holy flame, this heavenly fire; And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there.

O holy city, seen of John

Author: Walter Russell Bowie, b.1882 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #332 (1958) Person Name: Walter Russell Bowie, b.1882 Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John, Where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign, Within whose foursquare walls shall come No night, nor need, nor pain, And where the tears are wiped from eyes That shall not weep again! 2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held More cheap than merchandise, From women struggling sore for bread, From little children's cries, There swells the sobbing human plaint That bids thy walls arise! 3 Give us, O God, the strength to build The city that hath stood Too long a dream, whose laws are love, Whose ways are brotherhood, And where the sun that shineth is God’s grace for human good. 4 Already in the mind of God That city riseth fair; Lo, how its splendor challenges The souls that greatly dare, Yea, bids us seize the whole of life And build its glory there.
