Heavenly Spirit, All Others Transcending

Author: Johan Nordahl Brun Meter: 11.10.11.10.11.10.11.10 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Spirit, all others transcending, Thou who with Father and Son dost abide! Come Thou, our spirits in unity blending, Come and make ready the heavenly bride! Calling and gath'ring, and Jesus declaring, Building God's Church, shedding light from above, Come, O Thou Spirit of God, never tiring, Come and interpret God's wonderful love! 2 Merciful Jesus, with love never failing, Sending Thy Spirit the pledge ever new, That Thy atonement for all is availing, Faith ever sees that Thy promise is true. Crown'd are Thy servants with heavenly fire, Speaking with hearts and with tongues all aflame; Heavenly Spirit, our voices inspire, That we may sing of His glorious name! 3 Heav'nly Consoler, with unction celestial, Heal Thou the wounds of each sin-burden'd heart! Strengthen our faith, and with zeal Pentecostal Fill our faint souls, and Thy blessings impart! Create within us new hearts and new spirits; Lead us in truth, and sustain us in woe; Teach us true faith in the dear Savior's merits, So that at death we Thy power may know!

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying

Meter: 11.10 Appears in 774 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep o’er the erring ones, lift up the fallen, Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save. Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, Waiting the penitent child to receive; Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently: He will forgive, if they only believe. 2 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, Hope that lies buried, God's grace can restore: Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide. Back to the narrow way patiently win them, Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.

Jesus, for Thee and Thy blessed Communion

Author: P. J. Hygom; C. Doving Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, for Thee and Thy blessed communion Longing possesses my heart and my mind; Break down all barriers that hinder our union, Draw me to Thee, O Redeemer most kind! Show me right plainly my need that is crying, Show Thou the depth of my sins unto me! That unto sin I may daily be dying And in the Spirit live only to Thee. 2 Quicken my soul thro' Thy blood and Thy merit, That I the work of Thy Spirit may prove! Captive to Thee take my soul and my spirit, Lead me and draw me, lo, fainting I rove! Fain I from self and all idols would sever, When but Thyself in my soul mightest dwell With that Thy peace which endureth forever-- Peace that all sorrows and conflicts doth quell. 3 Oh, who could fully make this his endeavor: Self to surrender with heart and with soul! Oh, that my all were my Jesus for ever, I am, alas, far away from my goal! Jesus, who gav'st me an ear that is heeding, Reach me Thy hand and Thy succor me give, That I here after that life may be leading Which Thy true Christians in holiness live.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Meter: 11.10 Appears in 911 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 2 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Ever Content With The Ways Of My Father

Author: Paul E. Kretzmann Meter: 11.10.11.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ever content with the ways of my Father: He knoweth best on what path I should go; Ever content in the blessed assurance That I make progress, no matter how show; Yielding my hands to His fatherly guidance, Since He on pathways of safety doth lead, Since He in kindness, when faint grow my footsteps, Ever my soul in His mercy doth feed. 2 Ever content with the burden He giveth: He knoweth best what His children can bear; Ever content, though the load seem oppressive, Though on all sides there be worry and care. This is my comfort, this eases my burden, This makes me cheerful to bear ev'ry cross, That is my stead Jesus bore all transgressions, That for my sake He endured untold loss. 3 Ever content--tho' it sometimes appeareth That He in anger hath hidden His face; Ever content, for His merciful promise Bids me believe His assurance of grace. I am a child of the heavenly Father; Why, then, should ever my heart fret and fear? I shall be with Him, in bliss and in glory, When my Redeemer once more will appear.
