A charge to keep I have

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: CHRC1920 #453 (1920) 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, O Thy servant, Lord, prepare A strict account to give! 4 Help me to watch and pray, And on Thyself rely, Steadfast to walk on Christ's dear way, And God to glorify.

A few more years shall roll

Author: H. Bonar Hymnal: CHRC1920 #210 (1920) Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Asleep within the tomb; Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away. 2 A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time, And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for tat blest day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away. 3 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that calm day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away. 4 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that bright day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away. 5 'Tis but a little while and He shall come again, Who died that we might live, That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away.

Repeat the hymn again!

Author: J. M. Neale; St. Germanus Hymnal: CHRC1920 #661 (1920) First Line: A great and mighty wonder Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder, A full and holy cure! The Virgin bears the Infant, With virgin honour pure. Refrain: Repeat the hymn again! "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth to men." 2 The Word becomes incarnate And yet remains on high! And cherubim sing anthems To shepherds from the sky. [Refrain] 3 While thus they sing your Monarch, Those bright angelic bands; Rejoice, ye vales and mountains, Ye oceans, clap your hands. [Refrain] 4 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethl'em, The Saviour and the Lord. [Refrain] 5 And idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His sceptre, Our Lord and God for aye.

A little child the Saviour came

Author: W. Robertson Hymnal: CHRC1920 #235 (1920) Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came, The mighty God was still His Name; And angels worshiped as He lay, The seeming infant of a day. 2 He Who a little child began The life divine to show to man, Proclaims from heaven the message free, "Let little children come to Me." 3 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign Of cleansing water name them Thine: Their souls with saving grace endow, Baptize then with Thy Spirit now. 4 O give Thy angels charge, good Lord, Them safely in Thy way to guard; Thy blessing on their lives command, And write their names upon Thy hand. 5 O Thou Who by an infant's tongue Dost hear Thy perfect glory sung, May these, with all the heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

A little kingdom I possess

Author: L. M. Alcott Hymnal: CHRC1920 #628 (1920) Lyrics: 1 A little kingdom I posses, Where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard I find the task Of governing it well: For passion tempts and troubles me, A wayward will misleads, And selfishness its shadow casts On all my words and deeds. 2 How can I learn to rule myself, To be the child I should, Honest and brave, nor ever tire Of trying to be good? How can I keep a sunny soul To shine along life's way? How can I tune my little heart To sweetly sing all day? 3 Dear Father, help me with the love That casteth out my fear; Teach me to lean on Thee, and feel That Thou art very near: That no temptation is unseen, No childish grief too small, Since Thou, with patience infinite, Dost soothe and comfort all. 4 I do not ask for any crown But that which all may win: Nor try to conquer any world Except the one within. Be Thou my guide until I find Led by a tender hand, Thy happy kingdom in myself, And dare to take command. Topics: Youth and School Life Languages: English Tune Title: ALCOTT

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: F. H. Hedge; M. Luther Hymnal: CHRC1920 #295 (1920) Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right man on our side, The man of God's own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth His Name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever.

Abide with me: fast falls the eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte Hymnal: CHRC1920 #12 (1920) 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, Lord, 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.

We too will sing To God our King Alleluia! 3 O blessed Lord, Thy truth To all Thy flock impart, And teach us in our youth To know Thee as Thou art. Alleluia!

All then shall sing to God their King Alleluia! Topics: Youth and School Life Languages: English Tune Title: CHILDREN'S VOICES

According to Thy gracious word

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: CHRC1920 #224 (1920) Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 The Body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; The cup, Thy precious Blood, 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 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Then, Lord, remember me.

Advent tells us Christ is near!

Author: K. Hankey Hymnal: CHRC1920 #603 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Advent tells us Christ is near! Christmas tells us Christ is here; In Epiphany we trace All the glory of His grace. 2 Those three Sundays before Lent Will prepare us to repent, That in Lent we may begin Earnestly to mourn for sin. 3 Holy Week and Easter, then, Tell Who died and rose again: O that happy Easter Day! 'Christ is risen indeed,' we say. 4 Yes, and Christ ascended, too, To prepare a place for you; So we give Him special praise After those great Forty Days. 5 Then He sent the Holy Ghost, On the day of Pentecost, With us ever to abide: Well may we keep Whitsuntide. 6 Last of all, we humbly sing Glory to our God and King, Glory to the One in Three On the Feast of Trinity.
