We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight

Author: Henry Alford. 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 72 hymnals Matching Instances: 6 Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith, and not by sight; No gracious words draw near, O Christ , Who spoke as none e’er spoke; "My preace be with you here." 2 We may not touch Your hands and side, Nor follow where You trod; But in your promise we rejoice, And cry, “My Lord and God!” 3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief; And may our faith abound To call on You when You are near, And seek where You are found. 4 That, when our life of faith is done, In realms of clearer light We may behold You as You are, With full and endless sight. Topics: Burial; Easter Scripture: John 20:19-31 Used With Tune: DUNLAP'S CREEK

Sing to the Lord, Ye Heav'nly Hosts

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord, ye heav’nly hosts, And thou, O earth, adore; Let death and hell through all their coasts Stand trembling at His power. 2. His sounding chariot shakes the sky, He makes the clouds His throne; There all His stores of lightning lie, Till vengeance darts them down. 3. His nostrils breathe out fiery streams And from His awful tongue A sovereign voice divides the flames, And thunder roars along. 4. Think, O my soul! the dreadful day, When this incensèd God Shall rend the sky, and burn the sea, And fling His wrath abroad. 5. What shall the wretch, the sinner do? He once defied the Lord; But he shall dread the Thund’rer now, And sink beneath His Word. 6. Tempests of angry fire shall roll To blast the rebel worm, And beat upon his naked soul In one eternal storm.

My God, my portion, and my love

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 251 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. My God, my portion, and my love, My everlasting All, I've none but thee in heaven above, Or on this earthly ball. 2. What empty things are all the skies, And this inferior clod! There's nothing here deserves my joys, There's nothing like my God. 3. In vain the bright, the burning sun Scatters his feeble light; 'Tis thy sweet beams create my noon; If thou withdraw 'tis night. 4. And whilst upon my restless bed, Among the shades I roll, If my Redeemer shows his head, 'Tis morning with my soul. 5. To thee I owe my wealth, and friends, And health, and safe abode: Thanks to thy name for meaner things: But they are not my God. 6. How vain a toy is glittering wealth, If once compared to thee; Or what's my safety, or my health, Or all my friends to me? 7. Were I possessor of the earth, And called the stars my own, Without thy graces and thyself, I were a wretch undone. 8. Let others stretch their arms like seas, And grasp in all the shore; Grant me the visits of thy grace, And I desire no more. Used With Tune: DUNLAP'S CREEK

Hark! Sinner Hark!

Author: William Hague Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10235 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hark! sinner, hark! God speaks to thee Lyrics: 1 Hark! sinner, hark! God speaks to thee; How shall I let thee go? How shall I thy destruction see, And all thine anguish know? 2 Sinner, how shall I give thee up? I’ve loved thee as a child; Yet of thy sins, thou fill’st the cup, As if with passion wild. 3 Sinner, how shall I let thee go? My heart doth yearn for thee, Yet thou dost love transgression so, Thou wilt not turn to Me. 4 O sinner, stop! pause in thy path, Pause, ere it be too late; And now, while I hold back My wrath, Escape thy threatening fate. 5 But if thou wilt not, then I must Forever let thee go; And that I am both kind and just, The universe shall know.

The Day Approcheth

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9193 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The day approacheth, O my soul Lyrics: 1 The day approacheth, O my soul, The great decisive day, Which from the verge of mortal life Shall bear thee far away. 2 Another day more awful dawns; And lo, the Judge appears; Ye heav’ns, retire before His face, And sink, ye darkened stars. 3 Yet does one short preparing hour, One precious hour remain; Rouse thee, my soul, with all thy power, Nor let it pass in vain. 4 With me my brethren soon must die, And at that bar appear: Now be our intercourse improved To mutual comfort there. 5 For this, Thy temple, Lord, we throng; For this, Thy board surround; Here may our service be approved, And in Thy presence crowned.

Henry Alford

1810 - 1871 Person Name: Henry Alford. 1810-1871 Author of "We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight" in With One Voice Alford, Henry, D.D., son of the Rev. Henry Alford, Rector of Aston Sandford, b. at 25 Alfred Place, Bedford Row, London, Oct. 7, 1810, and educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in honours, in 1832. In 1833 he was ordained to the Curacy of Ampton. Subsequently he held the Vicarage of Wymeswold, 1835-1853,--the Incumbency of Quebec Chapel, London, 1853-1857; and the Deanery of Canterbury, 1857 to his death, which took. place at Canterbury, Jan. 12, 1871. In addition he held several important appointments, including that of a Fellow of Trinity, and the Hulsean Lectureship, 1841-2. His literary labours extended to every department of literature, but his noblest undertaking was his edition of the Greek Testament, the result of 20 years' labour. His hymnological and poetical works, given below, were numerous, and included the compiling of collections, the composition of original hymns, and translations from other languages. As a hymn-writer he added little to his literary reputation. The rhythm of his hymns is musical, but the poetry is neither striking, nor the thought original. They are evangelical in their teaching, but somewhat cold and conventional. They vary greatly in merit, the most popular being "Come, ye thankful people, come," "In token that thou shalt not fear," and "Forward be our watchword." His collections, the Psalms and Hymns of 1844, and the Year of Praise, 1867, have not achieved a marked success. His poetical and hymnological works include— (1) Hymns in the Christian Observer and the Christian Guardian, 1830. (2) Poems and Poetical Fragments (no name), Cambridge, J. J. Deighton, 1833. (3) The School of the Heart, and other Poems, Cambridge, Pitt Press, 1835. (4) Hymns for the Sundays and Festivals throughout the Year, &c.,Lond., Longman ft Co., 1836. (5) Psalms and Hymns, adapted for the Sundays and Holidays throughout the year, &c, Lond., Rivington, 1844. (6) Poetical Works, 2 vols., Lond., Rivington, 1845. (7) Select Poetical Works, London, Rivington, 1851. (8) An American ed. of his Poems, Boston, Ticknor, Reed & Field, 1853(9) Passing away, and Life's Answer, poems in Macmillan's Magazine, 1863. (10) Evening Hexameters, in Good Words, 1864. (11) On Church Hymn Books, in the Contemporary Review, 1866. (12) Year of Praise, London, A. Strahan, 1867. (13) Poetical Works, 1868. (14) The Lord's Prayer, 1869. (15) Prose Hymns, 1844. (16) Abbot of Muchelnaye, 1841. (17) Hymns in British Magazine, 1832. (18) A translation of Cantemus cuncti, q.v. -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Alford, Henry, p. 39, ii. The following additional hymns by Dean Alford are in common use:— 1. Herald in the wilderness. St. John Baptist. (1867.) 2. Let the Church of God rejoice. SS. Simon and Jude. (1844, but not in his Psalms & Hymns of that year.) 3. Not in anything we do. Sexagesima. (1867.) 4. O Thou at Whose divine command. Sexagesima. (1844.) 5. 0 why on death so bent? Lent. (1867.) 6.

For Sunday Schools. (1844.) All these hymns are in Dean Alford's Year of Praise, 1867, and the dates are those of their earliest publication, so far as we have been able to trace the same. --Excerpts from John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)

Small Church Music

Editors: Cecil Frances Alexander Description: The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid 1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano with organ versions. All recordings are in MP3 format. Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per month. The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse. Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) (see http://scm-audacity.weebly.com for more information) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs. Copyright notice: Rev. Clyde McLennan, performer in this collection, has assigned his performer rights in this collection to Hymnary.org. Non-commercial use of these recordings is permitted.
