Lord, let thy Spirit, from earthly passion weaning

Author: Valdimar Briem, 1848 - 1930 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #128 (1958) Tune Title: BERGGREN (ALT.) Lyrics: 1 Lord, let thy Spirit, from earthly passion weaning, Lead me along thy will’s all-holy way, To find by faith, on Jesus’ bosom leaning, ’Mid trial, doubt and need, in him my stay. A-men. 2 Lord, let thy Spirit, new love and life bestowing, Create a holy heart my breast within; That I, into my Saviour’s likeness growing, May bear his image through a world of sin. 3 Lord, let thy Spirit, thy word’s deep wealth unsealing, Lighten mine eyes with truth’s celestial fire; In life, in death, the narrow path revealing Unto the Promised Land of our desire. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Pentecost - The Holy Ghost Languages: English

O day of rest and gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #182a (1958) Tune Title: BERNO Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright! On thee the high and lowly, Before the eternal throne, Sing, 'Holy, holy, holy,' To the great Three in One. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heaven, And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was given. A-men. 3 Today on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 4 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To thee, blest Three in One. Amen.

Author: Sarah Flower Adams, 1805 - 48 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #577 (1958) Tune Title: BETHANY 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, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 2 Though like a 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, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 3 Then let the way appear Steps unto heaven; All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, 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, Upward I fly; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

Author: Nahum Tate, 1652-1715 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #24 (1958) 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 swathing bands, And in a manger laid.' 3 Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Appeared a shining throng Of angels praising God, who 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!'

To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise

Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837 - 98 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #445 (1958) Tune Title: BISHOPGARTH Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise In hymns of adoration, To thee bring sacrifice of praise With shouts of exultation. Bright robes of gold the fields adorn, The hills with joy are ringing, The valleys stand so thick with corn That even they are singing. 2 And now, on this our festal day, Thy bounteous hand confessing, Upon thine altar, Lord, we lay The first-fruits of thy blessing. By thee the souls of men are fed With gifts of grace supernal; Thou, who dost give us daily bread, Give us the bread eternal. 3 We bear the burden of the day, And often toil seems dreary; But labor ends with sunset ray, And rest is for the weary. May we, the angel-reaping o'er, Stand at the last accepted, Christ's golden sheaves, for evermore To garners bright elected. 4 O blessèd is that land of God Where saints abide for ever, Where golden fields spread fair and broad, Where flows the crystal river. The strains of all its holy throng With ours today are blending; Thrice blessèd is that harvest-song Which never hath an ending. Topics: The Life In Christ Thanksgiving Languages: English

Immortal Love, forever full

Author: John Greenleaf Whittier, 1807 - 92 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #476a (1958) Tune Title: BISHOPTHORPE (ST. PAUL'S) Lyrics: 1 Immortal Love, forever full, Forever flowing free, Forever shared, forever whole, A never-ebbing sea! 2 Our outward lips confess the Name All other names above; Love only knoweth whence it came, And comprehendeth love. 3 We may not climb the heavenly steeps To bring the Lord Christ down; In vain we search the lowest deeps, For him no depths can drown: 4 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet A present help is he; And faith has still its Olivet, And love its Galilee. 5 The healing of his seamless dress Is by our beds of pain; We touch him in life's throng and press, And we are whole again. 6 Through him the first fond prayers are said Our lips of childhood frame; The last low whispers of our dead Are burdened with his Name. 7 O Lord, and Master of us all, Whate'er our name or sign, We own thy sway, we hear thy call, We test our lives by thine.

Littlefield, 1864 - 1934 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #217b (1958) Tune Title: BLEST MOMENTS Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, thou madest known, Thro' quiet work in shop and home, The sacredness of common things, The chance of life that each day brings. 2 O Workman true, may we fulfill In daily life thy Father’s will; In duty’s call, thy call we hear To fuller life, thro' work sincere. A-men. 3 Thou Master Workman, grant us grace The challenge of our tasks to face; By loyal scorn of second best, By effort true, to meet each test. 4 And thus we pray in deed and word, Thy kingdom come on earth, O Lord; In work that gives effect to prayer, Thy purpose for thy world we share.

How marvellous God's greatness

Author: Charles Venn Pilcher; Valdimar Briem, 1848-1930 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #449 (1958) Tune Title: BLOMSTERTID Lyrics: 1 How marvellous God's greatness, How glorious his might To this the wor'd bears witness In wonders day and night. In form of flower and snowflake, In morn's resplendent birth, In afterglow at even, In sky and sea and earth. 2 Each tiny floweret whispers The great Life-giver's Name; The mighty mountain masses His majesty proclaim; The hollow vales are hymning God's shelter for his own; The snow-capped peaks are pointing To God's almighty throne. 3 The ocean's vast abysses In one grand psalm record The deep mysterious counsels And mercies of the Lord; The icy waves of winter Are thundering on the strand; E'en grief's chill stream is guided By God's all-gracious hand. 4 The starry hosts are singing Through all the light-strewn sky Of God's majestic temple And palace-courts on high; When in these outer chambers, Such glory gilds the night, What the transcendent brightness Of God's eternal light!

Saviour, blessed Saviour

All we have we offer, All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit, All we yield to thee. 2 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to thee, Deep in adoration Bending low the knee; Thou for our redemption Cam'st on earth to die; Thou, that we might follow, Hast gone up on high. A-men. 3 Clearer still, and clearer Dawns the light from heaven, In our sadness bringing News of sins forgiven; Life has lost its shadows, Pure the light within; Thou hast shed thy radiance On a world of sin. 4 Onward, ever onward, Journeying o'er the road Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to God, Leaving all behind us, May we hasten on, Backward never looking Till the prize is won. Amen.
