See, Sinners, in the Gospel Glass
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1. See, sinners, in the Gospel glass,
The friend and Savior of mankind!
Not one of all the apostate race
But may in Him salvation find!
His thoughts, and words, and actions prove,
His life and death, that God is love!
2. Behold the Lamb of God, who bears
The sins of all the world away!
A servant’s form He meekly wears,
He sojourns in a house of clay,
His glory is no longer seen,
But God with God is man with men.
3. See where the God incarnate stands,
And calls His wandering creatures home,
He all day long spreads out His hands,
“Come, weary souls, to Jesus come!
Ye all may hide you in My breast,
Believe, and I will give you rest.
4. Ah! do not of My goodness doubt;
My saving grace for all is free;
I will in no wise cast him out
That comes a sinner unto Me;
I can to none Myself deny,
Why, sinners, will ye perish, why? Used With Tune: ST. CATHERINE (Walton)

Softly Fades the Twilight Ray
Author: Samuel F. Smith Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 213 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Softly fades the twilight ray,
Of the holy Sabbath day;
Gently as life’s setting sun,
When the Christian’s course is run.
2. Night her solemn mantle spreads
O’er the earth as daylight fades;
All things tell of calm repose,
At the holy Sabbath’s close.
3. Peace is on the world abroad,
’Tis the holy peace of God;
Symbol of the peace within,
When the spirit rests from sin.
4. Still the Spirit lingers near,
Where the evening worshipper
Seeks communion with the skies,
Pressing onward to the prize.
5. Savior, may our Sabbaths be
Days of peace and joy in Thee!
Till in Heav’n our souls repose,
Where the Sabbath ne’er shall close. Used With Tune: HOLLEY

The Spirit in Our Hearts
Author: Henry U. Onderdonk Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 427 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The Spirit in our hearts

The bride, the Church of Christ, proclaims
To all His children, Come.

To all about him, Come;
To him that thirsts for righteousness
To Christ the fountain come.

O let him freely come,
And freely drink the stream of life;
’Tis Jesus bids him come.
4. Lo, Jesus who invites,
Declares, I quickly come.
Lord, even so; I wait Thy hour:
Jesus, my Savior, come. Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW (Barnby)
The Spirit in Our Hearts
There's a Light upon the Mountains
Author: Henry Burton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1. There’s a light upon the mountains,
And the day is at the spring,
When our eyes shall see the beauty
And the glory of the King:
Weary was our heart with waiting,
And the night watch seemed so long,
But His triumph day is breaking
And we hail it with a song.
2. In the fading of the starlight
We may see the coming morn;
And the lights of men are paling
In the splendors of the dawn;
For the eastern skies are glowing
As with light of hidden fire,
And the hearts of men are stirring
With the throbs of deep desire.
3. There’s a hush of expectation
And a quiet in the air
And the breath of God is moving
In the fervent breath of prayer;
For the suffering, dying Jesus
Is the Christ upon the throne,
And the travail of our spirit
Is the travail of His own.
4. He is breaking down the barriers,
He is casting up the way;
He is calling for His angels
To build up the gates of day:
But His angels here are human,
Not the shining hosts above;
For the drum beats of His army
Are the heartbeats of our love.
5. Hark! we hear a distant music
And it comes with fuller swell;
’Tis the triumph song of Jesus,
Of our King, Immanuel!
Go ye forth with joy to meet Him!
And, my soul, be swift to bring
All thy sweetest and thy dearest
For the triumph of our King! Used With Tune: AUTUMN

We May Not Climb the Heavenly Steeps
Author: John G. Whittier Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 262 hymnals Lyrics: 1. 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.

A present help is He;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.

Is by our beds of pain;
We touch Him in life’s throng and press,
And we are whole again.

Our lips of childhood frame;
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with His name.
5. 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! Used With Tune: SERENITY Text Sources: This hymn, and "Immortal Love, Forever Full," come from Whittier's poem"The Master," in The Panorama, and Other Poems, 1856

Yet, gracious God, Thou wilt not leave
My soul for ever with the dead,
Nor lose Thy children in the grave.

Shake off the dust, and rise on high;
Then shalt Thou lead the wondrous way
Up to Thy throne above the sky.

And full discoveries of Thy grace,
Which we but tasted here below,
Spread heav’nly joys through all the place. Used With Tune: GRACE CHURCH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

When Jesus Left His Father's Throne
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Jesus left His Father’s throne,
He chose a humble birth;
Like us, unhonored and unknown,
He came to dwell on earth.
Like Him may we be found below,
In wisdom’s path of peace;
Like Him in grace and knowledge grow,
As years and strength increase.
2. Sweet were His words and kind His look,
When mothers round Him pressed;
Their infants in His arms He took,
And on His bosom blessed.
Safe from the world’s alluring harms,
Beneath His watchful eye,
Thus in the circle of His arms
May we forever lie.
3. When Jesus into Zion rode,
The children sang around;
For joy they plucked the palms and strewed
Their garments on the ground.
Hosanna our glad voices raise,
Hosanna to our King!
Should we forget our Savior’s praise,
The stones themselves would sing. Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD
