O worship the King all-glorious above

Author: Sir R. Grant Hymnal: LHPN1913 #60 (1913) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all-glorious above; O gratefully sing His power and His love; Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might, O sing of His grace! Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space. His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 This earth, with its store of wonders untold, Almighty, Thy power hath founded of old, Hath 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree, And round it hath cast, like a mantle, the sea. 4 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail. Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend! 6 O measureless Might! ineffable Love! While angels delight to hymn Thee above, Thy humbler creation, though feeble their lays, With true adoration shall sing to Thy praise.

O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!

Author: S. Dach Hymnal: LHPN1913 #596 (1913) Meter: 10.10.5.10 Lyrics: 1 O how blest are ye whose toils are ended! Who, through death, have unto God ascended! Ye have arisen From the cares which keep us still in prison. 2 We are still as in a dungeon living, Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving; Our undertakings Are but toils and troubles and heart-breakings. 3 Ye, meanwhile, are in your chambers sleeping, Quiet, and set free from all our weeping; No cross nor sadness There can hinder your untroubled gladness. 4 Christ has wiped away your tears forever; Ye have that for which we still endeavor. To you are chanted Songs which yet no mortal ears were granted. 5 Ah! who would then not depart with gladness, To inherit heaven for earthly sadness? Who here would languish Longer in bewailing and in anguish? 6 Come, O Christ, and loose the chains that bind us! Lead us forth, and cast this world behind us! With Thee, th'Anointed, Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed.

Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom

Author: J. H. Newman; E. H. Bickersteth Hymnal: LHPN1913 #546 (1913) Meter: 10.4.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid th’encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet! I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day; and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still Will lead me on. O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, Till the night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. 4 Meantime, along the narrow rugged path, Thyself hast trod, Lead, Savior, lead me home in childlike faith, Home to my God, To rest forever after earthly strife In the calm light of everlasting life.

Jesus, who calledst little ones to Thee

Author: C. E. Mudie Hymnal: LHPN1913 #572 (1913) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, who calledst little ones to Thee, To Thee I come; O take my hand in Thine, and speak to me, And lead me home; Lest from the path of life my feet should stray, And Satan prowling make Thy lamb his prey. 2 I love to think that Thou with holy feet My path hast trod; Along life's common lanes an dusty street Hast walked with God; On Mary's bosom drawn an infant's breath, And served Thy parents dear at Nazareth. 3 O gentle Jesus, make this heart of mine, So full of sin, As holy, harmless, undefiled, as Thine, And dwell therein; Then God my Father I, like Thee, shall know, And grow in wisdom as in strength I grow. 4 To Thee, my Savior, then, with morning light Glad songs I'll raise, My saddest hours and darkest shall be bright With silent praise; And should my work or play my thoughts employ, Thy will shall be my law, Thy love my joy.

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Author: J. M. Meyfart Hymnal: LHPN1913 #610 (1913) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly, It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its fountain, And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead her with guidance tender To heaven, her fatherland. 3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously, Released from earthly ties, The fiery car shall bear her up to Thee, Through all these lower skies, To yonder shining regions, While down to meet her come The blessed angel legions, And bid her welcome home. 4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me! How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy nought, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 5 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song!

Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow

Author: Jane Borthwick Hymnal: LHPN1913 #556 (1913) Meter: 11.10.11.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Thou knowest, Lord, the weariness and sorrow Of the sad heart that comes to Thee for rest; Cares of today and burdens of tomorrow, Blessings implored and sins to be confest; We come before Thee at Thy gracious word, And lay them at Thy feet, Thou knowest, Lord. 2 Thou knowest all the past; how long and blindly On the dark mountains the lost wanderer strayed; How the Good Shepherd followed, and how kindly He bore it home, upon his shoulders laid; He healed the bleeding wounds and soothed the pain, And brought back life, and hope, and strength again. 3 Thou knowest all the present; each temptation, Each toilsome duty, each foreboding fear; All to each one assigned, of tribulation, Or to belovèd ones, than self more dear; All pensive memories, as we journey on, Longings for vanished smiles and voices gone. 4 Thou knowest all the future; gleams of gladness By stormy clouds too quickly overcast, Hours of sweet fellowship and parting sadness, And the dark river to be crossed at last. O what could hope and confidence afford To tread the path, but this: Thou knowest, Lord? 5 Thou knowest, not alone as God all-knowing; As man, our mortal weakness Thou hast proved; On earth with purest sympathies o'erflowing, O Savior, Thou hast wept, and Thou hast loved; And love and sorrow still to Thee may come, And find a hiding-place, a rest, a home. 6 Therefore we come, Thy gentle call obeying, And lay our sins and sorrows at Thy feet; On everlasting strength our weakness staying, Clothed in Thy robe of righteousness complete: Then rising and refreshed, we leave Thy throne, And follow on to know as we are known.

Angelic songs are swelling O’er earth’s green fields, and ocean’s wave-beat shore: How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling Of that new life when sin shall be no more. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing, 'Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;' And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing, The music of the gospel leads us home. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing, The voice of Jesus sounds o’er land and sea, And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing, Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 4 Rest comes at length: though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past; Faith’s journeys end in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart’s true home, will come at last. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. 5 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches keeping; Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above; Till morning’s joy shall end the night of weeping, And life’s long shadows break in cloudless love. Angels of Jesus, Angels of light, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night. Topics: The Last Things The Heavenly Home; The Last Things The Heavenly Home; Heaven Tune Title: [Hark! hark, my soul!
