Duties

Hymnal: BW1867 #208 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: A charge to keep I have Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky: 2 From youth to hoary age, My calling to fulfil: O may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in Thy sight to live; And oh! Thy servant, Lord, prepare A strict account to give. 4 Help me to watch and pray, And on Thyself rely; Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall for ever die.

A safe stronghold our God is still

Hymnal: BW1867 #68 (1867) Lyrics: 1 A safe stronghold our God is still, Our shield and surest weapon; He will deliver from the ill That hath us now o'ertaken. Our old deadly foe Now aims his last blow; Deep guile and strong power He boasteth in this hour: On earth is not his equal. 2 By strength of ours could naught be done; The strife full soon were ended, But for us fights the valiant One, By God himself commended. As you, "Who is He?" Christ Jesus! There see The Lord Saboath, Our God and Saviour both— He conquers in this battle. 3 Though devils all the earth should fill, Each watching to devour us, We tremble not, we fear no ill They cannot overpower us. The false prince of hell May rage, rave and swell; He harms not a hair, We shall escape his snare; Christ's lightest word shall stay him. 4 His word for ever shall abide, Our foes can ne'er destroy it, He standteh ever at our side, And cheers us by His Spirit. And take they our life, Goods, fame, children, wife, When their worst is done, Yet have they nothing won-- We shall receive the kingdom. Topics: God the Son Condescension Languages: English

Abide with me! fast falls the evenitde

Hymnal: BW1867 #321 (1867) 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, oh 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 strength can be? In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Topics: Man a Saint In Bodily and Spiritual Trouble Languages: English

According to Thy gracious word

Hymnal: BW1867 #161 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice! I must remember Thee: 5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains. And all Thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Hymnal: BW1867 #216 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Savior bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away: 'Tis all that I can do.

Alas! how poor and little worth

Hymnal: BW1867 #420 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Alas! how poor and little worth Are all those glittering toys of earth That lure us here! Dreams of a sleep that death must break; Alas! before it bids us wake, They disappear. 2 Where is the strength that spurned decay, The step that rolled so light and gay, The heart's blithe tone? The strength is gone, the step is slow, And joy grows weariness and woe When age comes on. 3 Our birth is but a starting-place; Life is the running of the race, And death the goal: There all those glittering toys are brought; That path alone, of all unsought, Is found of all. 4 Oh let the soul its slumbers break, Arouse its senses, and awake To see how soon Life, like its glories, glides away, And the stern footsteps of decay Come stealing on.

Alas! what hourly dangers rise

Hymnal: BW1867 #319 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! what hourly dangers rise, What snares beset my way! To heaven oh let me lift mine eyes, And hourly watch and pray. 2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain, And melt in flowing tears: My weak resistance, ah, how vain, How strong my foes and fears! 3 O gracious God, in whom I live, My feeble efforts aid, Help me to watch, and pray, and strive, Though trembling and afraid. 4 Increase my faith, Increase my hope, When foes and fears prevail; And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 5 When'er temptations fright my heart, Or lure my feet aside, My God, Thy powerful aid impart, My Guardian and my Guide. 6 Oh keep me in Thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee; And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee.

All glorious God, what hymns of praise

Hymnal: BW1867 #101 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 All glorious God, what hymns of praise Shall our transported voices raise! What ardent love and zeal are due, While heaven stands open to our view! 2 Once we were fallen, and oh how low! Just on the brink of endless woe: When Jesus, from the realms above. Borne on the wings of boundless love, 3 Scattered the shades of death and night, And spread around His heavenly light: By Him what wondrous grace is shown To souls impoverished and undone! 4 He shows, beyond these mortal shores, A bright inheritance as ours; Where saints in light our coming wait, To share their holy, happy state.

Let angels prostrate fall: Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all! 2 Crown Him, ye martyrs of our God, Who from His altar call; Extol the stem of Jesse's rod, And crown Him Lord of all! 3 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race, A remnant weak and small, Hail Him who saves you by His grace, And crown Him Lord of all! 4 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget The wormwood and the gall; Go, spread your trophies at His feet And crown Him Lord of all! 5 Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all!
