O may we come before Thy throne, And fine acceptance there! 5 O Christ, be Thou our present Joy, Our future great Reward; Our only glory may it be To glory in the Lord! Amen.

Dependence on God

Appears in 37 hymnals Topics: Sincerity proved and rewarded Lyrics: 1 We love Thee, Lord, and we adore, Now is thine Arm reveal'd, Thou art our Strength, our heav'nly Tow'r, Our Bulwark, and our Shield. 2 We fly to our eternal Rock, And find a sure Defence; His holy Name our Lips invoke, And draw Salvation thence. 3 When GOD, our Leader, shines in Arms, What mortal Heart can bear The Thunder of his loud Alarms? The Lightning of his Spear? 4 He rides upon the winged Wind, And Angels in Array In Millions wait to know his Mind, And swift as Flames obey. 5 He speaks, and at his fierce Rebuke Whole Armies are dismay'd; His Voice, his Frown, his angry Look, Strikes all their Courage dead. 6 He forms our Gen'rals for the Field, With all their dreadful Skill; Gives them his awful Sword to wield, And makes their Hearts of Steel. 7 [He arms our Captains to the Fight, (Tho' there his Name's forgot) He girded Cyrus with his Might, But Cyrus knew him not. 8 Oft has the Lord whole Nations blest, For his own Church's Sake; The Pow'rs that give his People Rest, Shall of his Care partake.] Scripture: Psalm 18

His faithfulness His saints have proved, Forever they shall stand unmoved, But sinners God will smite. 4 The righteous, through His favoring hand, Shall yet inherit all the land And dwell therein for aye; He talks of wisdom and of right, In God's pure law is his delight, His steps go not astray.

Saviour, blessed Saviour

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Appears in 329 hymnals Topics: Reward Lyrics: 1 Saviour, blessed Saviour, Listen whilst we sing, Hearts and voices raising Praises to our King. All we have to offer, All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit, All we yield to Thee. 2 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to Thee; Deep in adoration Bending low the knee; Thou for our redemption Cam'st on earth to die Thou, that we might follow, Hast gone up on high. 3 Great and ever greater Are Thy mercies here, True and everlasting Are the glories there, Where no pain or sorrow, Toil, or care, is known, Where the angel-legions Circle round Thy throne. 4 Clearer still and clearer Dawns the light from heaven, In our sadness bringing News of sin forgiven; Life has lost its shadows, Pure the light within; Thou hast shed Thy radiance On a world of sin. 5 Brighter still and brighter Glows the western sun, Shedding all its gladness O'er our work that's done; Time will soon be over, Toil and sorrow past; May we, blessed Saviour, Find a rest at last. 6 Onward, ever onward, Journeying o'er the road Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to God. Leaving all behind us, May we hasten on, Backward never looking Till the prize is won. 7 Higher then and higher Bear the ransomed soul, Earthly toils forgotten, Saviour, to its goal; Where, in joys unthought of, Saints with angels sing, Never weary, raising Praises to their King.
