Sweet is the work, my God, my King

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 778 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sweet is the work, my God, my King, To praise Thy Name, give thanks and sing, To show Thy love by morning light, And talk of all Thy truth at night. 2 Sweet is the day of sacred rest; No mortal cares shall seize my breast; My heart shall triumph in my Lord And bless His works, and bless His Word. 3 And I shall share a glorious part, When grace hath well refined my heart; When doubts and fears no more remain To break my inward peace again. 4 Then shall I see, and hear, and know All I desired or wished below; And every power find sweet employ In that eternal world of joy. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons The Lord's Day Used With Tune: TRURO

There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: William Cowper Appears in 2,467 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious Blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent Used With Tune: EVAN

Whate'er my God ordains is right

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Rodigast Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Holy His will abideth; I will be still, whate’er He doth And follow where He guideth. He is my God; Though dark my road, He holds me that I shall not fall; Wherefore to Him I leave it all. 2 Whate’er my God ordains is right; He never will deceive me; He leads me by the proper path: I know He will not leave me, And take, content, What He hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait His day. 3 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Though now this cup in drinking May bitter seem to my faint heart, I take it, all unshrinking: Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate’er my God ordains is right; Here shall my stand be taken; Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken; My Father’s care Is round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: WAS GOTT THUT DAS IST WOHLGETAN

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: Frances E. Cox; Heinrich Theobald Schenk Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing, These, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark, they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 3 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 4 These, as priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place, Blest they stand before His face. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

As with gladness men of old

Author: William Chatterton Dix Appears in 636 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led by Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Thee Whom heaven and earth adore; So may we, with willing feet, Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we, with holy joy, Pure, and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There for ever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: DIX

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 910 hymnals 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: The Church Year Epiphany Used With Tune: MORNING STAR

My dear Redeemer, and my Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 572 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My dear Redeemer, and my Lord, I read my duty in Thy Word, But in Thy life the law appears, Drawn out in living characters. 2 Such was Thy truth, and such Thy zeal, Such def'rence to Thy Father’s will, Such love, and meekness so divine, I would transcribe and make them mine. 3 Cold mountains and the midnight air Witnessed the fervor of Thy prayer: The desert Thy temptation knew, Thy conflict, and Thy vict'ry, too. 4. Be Thou my Pattern; make me bear More of Thy gracious image here; Then God, the Judge shall own my name Amongst the followers of the Lamb. Amen.

Behold, where in a mortal form

Author: William Enfield Appears in 210 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, where in a mortal form Appears each grace divine! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was His divine employ. 3 'Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn, Patient and meek He stood. His foes, ungrateful, sought His life; He labored for their good. 4 In the last hours of deep distress, Before His Father's throne, With soul resigned He bowed, and said, "Thy will, not mine, be done!" 5 Be Christ our Pattern and our Guide! His image may we bear! O may we tread His holy steps, His joys and glory share! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN
