Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry Francis Lyte Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #707 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Life Brevity of Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
all to leave, and follow thee;
destitute, despised, forsaken,
thou from hence my all shalt be.
Perish ev'ry fond ambition,
all I've sought or hoped or known;
yet how rich is my condition,
God and heav'n are still my own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me,
they have left my Savior too;
human hearts and looks deceive me;
thou art not, like man, untrue;
and, while thou shalt smile upon me,
God of wisdom, love, and might,
foes may hate and friends may shun me;
show thy face, and all is bright.
3 Man may trouble and distress me,
'twill but drive me to thy breast;
life with trials hard may press me,
heav'n will bring me sweeter rest.
O 'tis not in grief to harm me
while thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,
were that joy unmixed with thee.
4 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
rise o'er sin and fear and care;
joy to find in ev'ry station
something still to do or bear;
think what Spirit dwells within thee,
what a Father's smile is thine,
what a Savior died to win thee:
child of heav'n, shouldst thou repine?
5 Hasten on from grace to glory,
armed by faith, and winged by prayer;
heav'n's eternal day's before thee,
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;
hope soon change to glad fruition,
faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Chastened Submission
Hymnal: The Psalter #106 (1912) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Life Brevity and Uncertainty of First Line: What wait I for but Thee? Lyrics: 1 What wait I for but Thee?
My hope is in thy Name;
From all my sins deliver me,
Nor put my soul to shame.
2 I suffered silently,
Because Thy will is best;
Remove Thy heavy stroke from me,
For I am sore distressed.
3 When sin thou dost repay
And chasten and restrain,
Man's beauty quickly fades away;
Yea, human life is vain.
4 O Lord, regard my fears,
And answer my request;
Turn not in silence from my tears,
But give the mourner rest.
5 I am a stranger here,
Dependent on Thy grace,
A pilgrim, as my fathers were,
With no abiding place.
6 O spare me and restore
My failing strength, I pray;
Ere I go hence and be no more,
The hand of judgment stay.
Scripture: Psalm 39 Languages: English Tune Title: DULCE DOMUM

O God, Our Help in Ages Past
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #170 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life; Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home:
2 Under the shadow of your throne
your saints have dwelt secure;
sufficient is your arm alone,
and our defense is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood
or earth received its frame,
from everlasting you are God,
to endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in your sight
are like an evening gone,
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
soon bears us all away;
we fly forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
still be our guard while troubles last,
and our eternal home!
Scripture: Psalm 90:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE (Croft)
O God, Our Help in Ages Past
The Cry of the Mortal
Hymnal: The Psalter #244 (1912) Topics: Life Brevity and Uncertainty of First Line: Lord, thro' all the generations Lyrics: 1 Lord, thro' all the generations
Of the children of our race,
In our fears and tribulations,
Thou hast been our dwelling-place.
Ere the vast and wide creation
By Thy word was cased to be,
Or the mountains held their station,
Thou art God eternally.
2 Each succeeding generation
At Thy mighty word appears;
Thou dost count in time's duration
One day as a thousand years.
Death, with swift and sudden warning,
Calls us from life's dream away,
Like the grass, green in the morning,
Withered ere the close of day.
3 In Thy wrath our spirits languish,
Sinful 'neath Thy searching eye;
All our days are passed in anguish,
In Thy wrath we pine and id.
Threescore years and ten we tarry,
Fourscore years the strong may stay,
Long the load of grief to carry,
Till at last we fly away.
4 Who can weigh Thy just displeasure,
Who can fear Thee as he ought?
Teach us now our days to measure
And to wisdom turn our thought.
Lord, return, regard our sadness;
with Thy servants now abide;
Fill our days with joy and gladness,
With Thy mercy satisfied.
5 Long the clouds of evil lower;
Bless us now with gladsome days;
Let Thy servants see Thy power,
Let their children learn Thy praise.
On us let the grace and beauty
Of the Lord our God remain,
Strengthen us for noble duty
That our work be not in vain. Scripture: Psalm 90 Languages: English Tune Title: ARMSTRONG
The Cry of the Mortal
Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre, 1821-1891 Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #363 (1987) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Brevity & Frailty of Life Lyrics: 1 Your hands, O Lord, in days of old
were strong to heal and save;
they triumphed over pain and death,
o'er darkness and the grave.
To you they went, the blind, the mute,
the palsied and the lame,
the leper set apart and shunned,
the sick and those in shame.
2 And then your touch brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed, with health restored,
claimed you, the Lord of light.
And so, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty now as then,
in every street, in every home,
in every troubled friend.
3 O be our mighty healer still,
O Lord of life and death;
restore and strengthen, soothe and bless
with your almighty breath.
On hands that work and eyes that see,
your healing wisdom pour,
that whole and sick and weak and strong
may praise you evermore.
Scripture: Matthew 14:14 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MICHAEL'S

Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide
Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #455 (1934) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: Brevity And Frailty Of Life Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
3 I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me.
4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
5 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE
Abide with me; Fast Falls the Eventide

Beams of Heaven

through this wilderness below,
guide my feet in peaceful ways,
turn my midnights into days.
When in the darkness I would grope,
faith always sees a star of hope,
and soon from all life's grief and danger
I shall be free someday.
Refrain:
I do not know how long 'twill be,
nor what the future holds for me,
but this I know: if Jesus leads me,
I shall get home someday.
2 Oftentimes my sky is clear,
joy abounds without a tear;
though a day's so bright begun,
clouds may hide tomorrow's sun.
There'll be a day that's always bright,
a day that never yields to night,
and in its light the streets of glory
I shall behold someday. Refrain
3 Burdens now may crush me down,
disappointments all around,
troubles speak in mournful sigh,
sorrow through a tear-stained eye.
There is a world where pleasure reigns,
no mourning soul shall roam its plains,
and to that land of peace and glory
I want to go someday. Refrain
