O Saints of Old, Not Yours Alone

Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O saints of old, not yours alone The search for God shall be; We take the glory for our own; Lord, we are seeking Thee. 2. Not only when ascends the song And soundeth sweet the word; Not only with the Sabbath throng, Our souls would seek the Lord. 3. We would not to our daily task Without our God repair, But in the world His presence ask, And seek His glory there. 4. O everywhere, O every day, The grace is still outpoured; We work, we watch, we strive, we pray, Behold Thy seekers, Lord. Used With Tune: EAGLEY

Come, blessèd Lord, bid every shore And answering island sing The praises of Thy royal name, And own Thee as their king. 3. Bid the whole earth, responsive now To the bright world above, Break forth in rapturous strains of joy In memory of Thy love. 4. Lord, Lord, Thy fair creation groans, The air, the earth, the sea, In unison with all our hearts, And calls aloud for Thee. 5. Come, then, with all Thy quickening power With one awakening smile, And bid the serpent’s trail no more Thy beauteous realms defile. 6. Thine was the cross, with all its fruits, Of grace and peace divine; Be Thine the crown of glory now, The palm of victory Thine. Used With Tune: EAGLEY

My God, Thy Service Well Demands

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, Thy service well demands The remnant of my days: Why was this fleeting breath renewed, But to renew Thy praise? 2 Thine arms of everlasting love Did this weak frame sustain, When life was hovering o’er the grave, And nature sunk with pain. 3 Thou, when the pains of death were felt, Didst chase the fears of hell, And teach my pale and quivering lips Thy matchless grace to tell. 4 Calmly I bowed my fainting head On Thy dear faithful breast; Pleased to obey my Father’s call To His eternal rest. 5 Into Thy hands, my Savior God, Did I my soul resign, In firm dependence on that truth, Which made salvation mine. 6 Back from the borders of the grave, At Thy command I come: Nor would I urge a speedier flight To my celestial home. 7 Where Thou determine mine abode, There would I choose to be; For in Thy presence death is life, And earth is Heav’n with Thee.
