Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, 1805-1848 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #283 (1901) Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.4 Person Name: Mrs. Sarah Flower Adams, 1805-1848 First Line: Nearer, my God, to Thee! Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to Thee! 2 Though, like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone. Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3 There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 5 Or if, on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly: Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY

How Blest are the Hours that Jesus Bestows

Hymnal: HOoS1901 #291 (1901) Meter: 11.11.11.6.6.11 Person Name: Oskar Ahnfelt Lyrics: 1 How blest are the hours that Jesus bestows, When wonders of grace to the spirit He shows! His Word lights the way to the heavenly goal, His Spirit is near us, His Spirit is near us, To rouse us, and teach us, and comfort our soul! 2 Lord Jesus, our Saviour, Thy Spirit us give To quicken, and strengthen, and cause us to live; Grant faith and give love, and in mercy bestow Whatever is needed, Whatever is needed, To exercise faith in our hearts here below. 3 Our hearts are so cold, yea, as hard as a stone; Such are they by nature, and Thou art alone, On earth and in heaven, the Saviour who can, A new heart creating, A new heart creating, A new heart creating, make each a new man. 4 From sorrows of earth wilt Thou now turn our mind, For days that are coming, oh, help us to find Our joy and our comfort in what Thou hast wrought; For we are Thy people, For we are Thy people, With death, wounds, and anguish so preciously bought. 5 Lord, therefore, remember in mercy and love Thy people, and grant us Thy help from above; Thy law cause to wake us, Thy grace give us cheer, And lead us Thy Spirit, And lead us Thy Spirit, So that we may know that Thy presence is near. Amen. Topics: Sanctification Languages: English Tune Title: ACK, SALIGA STUNDER

Though death o'ertakes me, Christ ne'er forsakes me, To everlasting life He surely wakes me. 3 More radiant there than sun e'er shone in brightness, My soul shall shine before God's throne in whiteness. My God, who knows me, In glory clothes me, As He declared when for His own He chose me. 4 Oh, may I come where strife and grief are ended, Where all Thy saints shall meet, with peace attended? Grant, Lord, Thy favor And mercy ever, And turn my sorrow into joy forever. 5 Lord Jesus Christ, keep me prepared and waking, Till from the vale of tears Thy bride Thou'rt taking To dwell in heaven, Where joy is given, And clouds of darkness are forever riven.

My Church! My Church!

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: HOoS1901 #189 (1901) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: Anonymous First Line: My church! My church! my dear old church! Lyrics: 1 My church! My church! my dear old church! My fathers’ and my own! On Prophets and Apostles built, And Christ the cornerstone! All else beside, by storm or tide, May yet be overthrown; But not my church, my dear old church, My fathers’ and my own! 2 My church! My church! my dear old church! My glory and my pride! Firm in the faith Immanuel taught, She holds no faith beside. Upon this rock, ‘gainst every shock, Though gates of hell assail, She stands secure, with promise sure, “They never shall prevail.” 3 My church! My church! my dear old church! I love her ancient name; And God forbid, a child of hers Should ever do her shame! Her mother-care, I'll ever share; Her child I am alone, Till He who gave me to her arms Shall call me to His own. 4 My church! My church! my dear old church! I've heard the tale of blood, Of hearts that loved her to the death-- The great, the wise, the good. Our martyred sires defied the fires For Christ the crucified; The one delivered faith to keep, They burned, they bled, they died. 5 My church! My church! I love my church! For she exalts my Lord! She speaks, she breathes, she teaches not, But from His written Word, And if her voice bids me rejoice, From all my sins released; 'Tis through the atoning sacrifice, And Jesus is the Priest. 6 My church! My church! I love my church! For she doth lead me on To Zion's Palace Beautiful, Where Christ my Lord hath gone. From all below, she bids me go, To Him, the Life, the Way, The Truth to guide my erring feet From darkness into day. 7 Then here, my church! my dear old church! Thy child would add a vow, To that whose token once was signed Upon his infant brow;-- Assault who may, kiss and betray, Dishonor and disown, My church shall yet be dear to me, My fathers' and my own! Amen. Topics: The Church Languages: English Tune Title: ATHENS
