Look from thy sphere of endless day

Author: William C. Bryant Hymnal: BWHT1899 #340 (1899) Person Name: William C. Bryant Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty word to speak, Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Amen. Topics: Kingdom of Christ Prayer for; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: ANVERN

Sweet the time, exceeding sweet

Author: George Burder Hymnal: BWHT1899 #51 (1899) Person Name: George Burder Lyrics: 1 Sweet the time, exceeding sweet, When the saints together meet, When the Saviour is the theme, When they joy to sing of Him. 2 Sing we then eternal love, Such as did the Father move: He beheld the world undone, Loved the world, and gave His Son. 3 Sing the Son's amazing love; How He left the realms above, Took our nature and our place, Lived an died to save our race. 4 Sing we, too, the Spirit's love; With our stubborn hearts He strove, Filled our minds with grief and fear, Brought the precious Saviour near. 5 Sweet the place, exceeding sweet, Where the saints in glory meet: Where the Saviour's still the theme, Where they see and sing of Him. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: IONIA

The voice of free grace cries, "Escape to the mountain!"

Author: Richard Burdsall Hymnal: BWHT1899 #368 (1899) Meter: 12.12.12.12 Person Name: Richard Burdsall Lyrics: 1 The voice of free grace cries, "Escape to the mountain!" For Adam's lost race Christ hath opened a fountain: For sin and uncleanness, and every transgression, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation, His blood flows most freely in streams of salvation. Chorus: Hallelujah to the Lamb! He hath bought us our pardon, We'll praise Him again when we pass over Jordan, We'll praise Him again when we pass over Jordan. 2 Ye souls that are wounded! oh, flee to the Saviour! He calls you in mercy--'tis infinite favor; Your sins are increasing--escape to the mountain-- His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain, His blood can remove them, it flows from the fountain. [Chorus] 3 O Jesus! ride onward, triumphantly glorious, O'er sin, death, and hell, Thou art more than victorious; Thy name is the theme of the great congregation, While angels and saints raise the shout of salvation, While angels and saints raise the shout of salvation. [Chorus] 4 With joy shall we stand, when escaped to that shore; With harps in our hands, we'll praise Him the more; We'll range the sweet plains on the bank of the river, And sing of salvation for ever and ever, And sing of salvation for ever and ever. [Chorus] Amen. Topics: Accepted Time; Gospel Call; Grace Free Languages: English Tune Title: CLARKE'S

They come, God's messengers of love

Author: Robert Campbell Hymnal: BWHT1899 #566 (1899) Person Name: Robert Campbell Lyrics: 1 They come, God’s messengers of love, They come from realms of peace above, From homes of never-fading light, From blissful mansions ever bright. 2 They come to watch around us here, To soothe our sorrow, calm our fear: And whisper to the willing heart, "O Christian soul, in peace depart." 3 Blest Jesus, Thou whose groans and tears Have sanctified frail nature’s fears, To earth in bitter sorrow weighed, Thou didst not scorn Thine angel’s aid. 4 An angel guard to us supply, When on the bed of death we lie; And by Thine own almighty power, Oh, shield us in the last dread hour.

One sweetly solemn thought

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: BWHT1899 #563 (1899) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Person Name: Phoebe Cary Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o'er and o'er; I am nearer my home today Than e'er I've been before; 2 Nearer the Father's house, Where many mansions be, Nearer the throne where Jesus reigns, Nearer the crystal sea. 3 Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down; Nearer leaving the cross of grief, Nearer gaining the crown. 4 But lying darkly between, And winding through the night, Flows on the deep and unknown stream, That leads me to the light. 5 Jesus, perfect my trust, Strengthen the hand of my faith, And be Thou near me when I stand Upon the shore of death. Amen. Topics: Death Confidence in; Funerals; Today Languages: English Tune Title: SUNSET
