One in Christ

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #157 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: A Holy air is breathing round Lyrics: A Holy air is breathing round, A fragrance from above; Be every soul from sense unbound, Be every spirit love. O God, unite us heart to heart, In sympathy divine, That we be never drawn apart, And love not Thee nor Thine; But, by the cross of Jesus taught, And all Thy gracious word, Be nearer to each other brought, And nearer to the Lord.

“Prepare Ye the Way of the Lord!”

Author: Drummond Hymnal: BHPPD866 #103 (1866) First Line: A Voice from the desert comes awful and shrill Lyrics: A Voice from the desert comes awful and shrill; The Lord is advancing; prepare ye the way! The word of Jehovah he comes to fulfil, And o’er the dark world pour the splendor of day. Bring down the proud mountain, though towering to heaven, And be the low valley exalted on high; The rough path and crooked be made smooth and even, For, Zion! your King, your Redeemer, is nigh. The beams of salvation his progress illume, The lone, dreary wilderness sings of her God; The rose and the myrtle there suddenly bloom, And the olive of peace spreads its branches abroad.

“Let This Cup Pass From Me.”

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #131 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: A voice upon the midnight air Lyrics: A voice upon the midnight air, Where Kedron’s moonlit waters stray, Weeps forth in agony of prayer, “O Father, take this cup away!” Ah, thou who sorrow’st unto death, We conquer in thy mortal fray; And earth for all her children saith, “O God, take not this cup away!” O Lord of sorrow, meekly die; Thou’lt heal or hallow all our woe; Thy peace shall still the mourner’s sigh; Thy strength shall raise the faint and low. Great chief of faithful souls, arise; None else can lead the martyr band, Who teach the soul how peril flies, When faith, unarmed, uplifts the hand. O King of earth, the cross ascend; O’er climes and ages ’tis thy throne; Where’er thy fading eye may bend, The desert blooms and is thine own. Thy parting blessing, Lord, we pray; Make but one fold below, above; And when we go the last, lone way, O, give the welcome of thy love. Languages: English

Epiphany

Author: J. Weiss Hymnal: BHPPD866 #424 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: A wondrous star our pioneer Lyrics: A wondrous star our pioneer, We left the mystic land Where heaven-nurtured childhood slept, Where yet old visions stand. O God! the land of dreams we left, Repose we left for aye, And followed meekly to the place Where our Redeemer lay. That humble manger we have found; The world his cradle is; His life is hidden far below Its sins and miseries. The world throws wide its brazen gates; With Thee we enter in; O, grant us, in our humble sphere, To free that world from sin. We have one mind in Christ our Lord To stand and point above; To hurl rebuke at social wrong; But all, O God, in love. The star is resting in the sky; To worship Christ we came; The moments haste; O, touch our tongues With Thy celestial flame! The truest worship is a life; All dreaming we resign; We lay our offerings at thy feet,— Our lives, O Christ, are thine! Languages: English

“In Remembrance of Me.”

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #139 (1866) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: According to thy gracious word Lyrics: According to thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember thee. Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember thee. Gethsemane can I forget? Or there thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember thee? When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice! I must remember thee;— Remember thee, and all thy pains, And all thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse, remains, Will I remember thee. Languages: English

Acquaint Thee with God

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #199 (1866) First Line: Acquaint thee, O spirit, acquaint thee with God Lyrics: Acquaint thee, O spirit, acquaint thee with God, And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road; And peace, like the dew, shall descend round thy head, And sleep, like an angel, shall visit thy bed. Acquaint thee, O spirit, acquaint thee with God, And he shall be with thee when fears are abroad; Thy safeguard in danger that threatens thy path, Thy joy in the valley and shadow of death.

Affliction, God’s Angel

Hymnal: BHPPD866 #329 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Affliction's faded form draws nigh Lyrics: Affliction’s faded form draws nigh, With wrinkled brow and downcast eye; With sackcloth on her bosom spread, And ashes scattered o’er her head. But deem her not a child of earth; From heaven she draws her sacred birth; Beside the throne of God she stands To execute his kind commands. The messenger of love, she flies To train us for our sphere, the skies; And onward as we move, the way Becomes more smooth, more bright the day. Her weeds to robes of glory turn, Her looks with kindling radiance burn; And from her lips these accents steal,— “God smites to bless, he wounds to heal!” Languages: English

Slavery

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: BHPPD866 #439 (1866) First Line: Ages, ages have departed Lyrics: Ages, ages have departed, Since the first dark vessel bore Afric’s children, broken-hearted, To this far-off western shore; She, like Rachel, Weeping, for they were no more. Millions, millions have been slaughtered In the fight and on the deep; Millions, millions more have watered, With such tears as captives weep, Fields of labor Where their wasted bodies sleep. Mercy, mercy, vainly pleading, Rends her garments, smites her breast, Till a voice from heaven proceeding Gladden all the waiting west: “Come, ye weary! Come, and I will give you rest!” Tidings, tidings of salvation! Brothers, rise with one accord, Purge the plague-spot from our nation, Till, unto their rights restored, Slaves no longer, All are freemen in the Lord! Languages: English

Life’s Work

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #306 (1866) First Line: All around us, fair with flowers Lyrics: All around us, fair with flowers, Fields of beauty sleeping lie; All around us clarion voices Call to duty stern and high. Thankfully we will rejoice in All the beauty God has given; But beware it does not win us From the work ordained of Heaven. Following every voice of mercy With a trusting, loving heart; Let us in life’s earnest labor Still be sure to do our part. Now, to-day, and not to-morrow, Let us work with all our might, Lest the wretched faint and perish In the coming stormy night. Now, to-day, and not to-morrow,— Lest, before to-morrow’s sun, We too, mournfully departing, Shall have left our work undone. Languages: English

Praise Ye the Lord

Author: Sandys Hymnal: BHPPD866 #495 (1866) First Line: All, from the sun's uprise Lyrics: All, from the sun’s uprise Unto his setting rays, Resound in jubilees The great Creator’s praise! Him serve alone; In triumph bring Your gifts, and sing Before His throne! Man drew from man his birth; But God his noble frame, (Built of the ruddy earth,) Filled with celestial flame. His sons we are, By Him are led, Preserved and fed With tender care. Then to His portals press In your divine resorts; With thanks His power profess, And praise Him in His courts. How good! how pure! His mercies last; His promise past Is ever sure. Languages: English
