A Charge to Keep I Have

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: H1955 #301 (1955) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfill; 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, And let me ne'er my trust betray, But press to realms on high.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Author: Frederick H. Hedge; Martin Luther Hymnal: H1955 #91 (1955) Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 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 forever. Amen.

Abide with Me: Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: H1955 #64 (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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.

By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted! 2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee! 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee: I crucified Thee. 3 For me, kind Jesus, was Thy incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life's oblation; Thy death of anguish and Thy bitter passion, For my salvation. 4 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee, Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.

Alas! and Did My Saviour Bleed

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: H1955 #199 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die! Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I! 2 Was it for sins that I have done He suffered on the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God, 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 mine 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.

All Beautiful the March of Days

Author: Frances Whitmarsh Wile Hymnal: H1955 #96 (1955) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All beautiful the march of days, As seasons come and go; The Hand that shaped the rose hath wrought The crystal of the snow; Hath sent the hoary frost of heaven, The flowing waters sealed, And laid a silent loveliness On hill and wood and field. 2 O'er white expanses sparkling pure The radiant morns unfold; The solemn splendors of the night Burn brighter through the cold; Life mounts in every throbbing vein, Love deepens round the hearth, And clearer sounds the angel hymn, "Good will to men on earth." 3 O Thou from whose unfathomed law The year in beauty flows, Thyself the vision passing by In crystal and in rose, Day unto day doth utter speech, And night to night proclaim, In ever-changing words of light, The wonder of Thy name.
