Of all the Spirit's gifts to me

Oh, the Cross, the Saviour dying

Meter: 8.8.8.5 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Oh, the Cross, the Saviour dying, Wounded sore, and faint, and sighing, Bowed beneath the burden lying On His spotless soul. 'Tis thy load He falters under; Speaks not heaven in wrathful thunder? Earth! behold the sight, and wonder, Love has borne the rod. Canst thou love the sin that bound Him, Threw the robe of scorn around Him, Mocking bowed the knee, and crowned Him With the cruel thorn? Jesus, at Thy feet relenting, Bring I all my guilt repenting, All my cruel sin lamenting: Christ, my sin forgive!

Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 5 What a city! what a glory! Far beyond the brightest story Of the ages old and hoary; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 6 Softest voices, silver pealing, Freshest fragrance, spirit healing, Happy hymns around us stealing; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 7 Gone the vanity and folly, Gone the dark and melancholy, Come the joyous and the holy; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 8 Not a broken blossom yonder, Not a link can snap asunder, Stayed the tempest, sheathed the thunder; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 9 Not a tear drop ever falleth, Not a pleasure ever palleth, Song to song for ever calleth; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 10 Christ Himself the living splendor, Christ the sunlight mild and tender; Praises to the Lamb we render; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 11 Now at length the veil is rended, Now the pilgrimage is ended, And the saints their thrones ascended; Ah, ’tis Heaven at last! 12 Broken death’s dread bands that bound us, Life and victory around us; Christ, the King, Himself hath crowned us, Ah, ’tis Heaven at last!

God of all Grace, Thy mercy send

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.5 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: Deacon. Let us complete our evening supplication to the Lord. Choir. Lord, have mercy upon us. God of all Grace, Thy mercy send; Let Thy protecting arm defend; Save us, and keep us to the end. Have mercy, Lord. And through the coming hours of night, Fill us, we pray, with holy light; Keep us all sinless in Thy sight. Grant this, O Lord. May some bright messenger abide For ever by Thy servants’ side, A faithful guardian and guide. Grant this, O Lord. From every sin in mercy free, Let heart and conscience stainless be, That we may live henceforth for Thee. Grant this, O Lord. We would not be by care opprest, But in Thy love and wisdom rest;— Give what Thou seest to be best. Grant this, O Lord. While we of every sin repent, Let our remaining years be spent In holiness and sweet content. Grant this, O Lord. And when the end of life is near, May we, unshamed and void of fear, Wait for the Judgment to appear. Grant this, O Lord.
