Joyfully, Joyfully, Onward we Move

Author: William Hunter, 1811-1877 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #336 (1901) Meter: 10.10.10.10 D Lyrics: 1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward we move, Bound for the land of bright spirits above; Jesus, our Saviour, in mercy says, Come, Joyfully, joyfully haste to your home. Soon will our pilgrimage end here below, Soon to the presence of God we shall go, Then, if to Jesus our hearts have been given, Joyfully, joyfully, rest we in heaven. 2 Death with its arrows may soon lay us low, Safe in our Saviour, we fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb, Joyfully, joyfully, we will go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn, Death shall be conquered, his scepter be gone; Over the plains of sweet Canaan we'll roam, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home. Amen.

Passion-week Memories Sacred and Blest

Author: Ludvig Holmes Hymnal: HOoS1901 #63 (1901) Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Passion-week memories sacred and blest, Speak to my soul now of stillness and rest; Slowly we go to Gethsemane's dale; Show me the sufferer trembling and pale, Treading forsaken a path full of thorns, Loving the world, which in turn only scorns. 2 Now I perceive Him in shadows of night, Putting the powers of darkness to flight, Crushed 'neath the load of the sin of the world, Death and damnation around Him are hurled. Thorn-crowned and scourged still the sacrificed Lamb, Lifting His brow, says: "A King yet I am." 3 Show me the cross where He patiently died, There in its shadow myself will I hide, There will I hide His victor4ious word, Hear Him exclaim, "It is finished", my Lord, There will I praise for His mercy and grace; Suffering and dying He stood in my place. Amen. Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: HELIGA MINNEN I FASTELAGSTID

Abide With me! Fast Falls the Eventide

Author: Henry Francis Lyte, 1793-1847 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #172 (1901) 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, 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 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me! 4 Come not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 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, oh, abide with me! 7 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! 8 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! Amen. Topics: Worship Languages: English Tune Title: EVENTIDE

Rise From thy Stupor

Author: Carl Olaf Rosenius, 1816-1868 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #292 (1901) Meter: 10.10.5.5.10 First Line: Rise from thy stupor, heart so uneasy Lyrics: 1 Rise from thy stupor, heart so uneasy; Why so completely forget what thou hast? Christ is forever Thy loving Saviour, He's still the same as He was in the past. 2 Pause and consider, earnestly ponder What thou possessest in Him, not in thee; Righteous and holy, Perfect most truly, Art thou in Christ, who from sin sets us free. 3 Though thou at times can not feel it, nor see it, Though so unholy and sinful within, Jesus hath bought thee, And mercy brought thee, And still upholds thee, and save thee from sin. 4 Right in the midst of sin's daily affliction, Justification eternal thou hast. That thou are holy Thou ow'st Him solely, Him upon whom all thy burdens were cast. 5 God is in Christ now thy Friend and thy Father: Jesus thy Brother on Calvary died; And by His merit Has sent His Spirit, To be thy Strength, and thy Comfort, and Guide. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: ÄNGSLIGA HJÄRTA, UPP UR DIN DVALA

Chorus: Tell how alone the path of death He trod; Tell how He lives, thy Advocate with God; Lift up thy voice, while heaven’s triumphant throng Swell at His feet the everlasting song. 2 Think, O my soul, now patiently He sought thee Far, far away upon the mountain steep, Then in His arms how tenderly He brought thee Home to His fold, a weary, wandering sheep. [Chorus] 3 Sing, O my soul, and let thy pure devotion Rise to His throne, thy Saviour, Friend, and Guide; Sing of His love, that, like a mighty ocean, Flows unto thee and all the world beside. [Chorus] 4 Soon, O my soul, thine earthly house forsaking, Soon shalt thou rise the better world to see; Then will thy harp, a noble strain awaking, Praise Him who died to purchase life for thee.

Abode of Peace

Author: Agatha Rosenius Hymnal: HOoS1901 #333 (1901) Meter: 11.10.11.10.8.8.7 First Line: Abode of peace, my Father's home forever! Lyrics: 1 Abode of peace, my Father’s home forever! My weary soul in faith doth yearn for Thee. I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour, To Thine abode of peace, eternally. There is on earth no peaceful rest; Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed, Our vision dim and failing, Our vision dim and failing. 2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth; God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore. Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart. For when, O Lord, I am with Thee, All other comforts well may flee; With Thee I’m ever blesséd, With Thee I'm ever blesséd. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: TILL FRIDENS HEM

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber, 1782-1825 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #48 (1901) Meter: 11.10.11.10 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. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops 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! 3 Say, shall we 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? 4 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. 5 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. Amen. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English Tune Title: MORNING STAR

Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: COME, YE DISCONSOLATE
