Vain Are All Terrestrial Pleasures
Author: David E. Ford Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7055 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Vain are all terrestrial pleasures,
Mixed with dross the purest gold:
Seek we, then, for heavenly treasures,
Treasures never waxing old.
Let our best affections center
On the things around the throne:
There no thief can ever enter;
Moth and rust are there unknown.
2. Earthly joys no longer please us;
Here would we renounce them all;
Seek our only rest in Jesus,
Him our Lord and Master call.
Faith, our languid spirits cheering,
Points to brighter worlds above;
Bids us look for His appearing;
Bids us triumph in His love.
3. May our light be always burning,
And our loins be girded round,
Waiting for our Lord’s returning,
Longing for the welcome sound.
Thus the Christian life adorning,
Never need we be afraid,
Should He come at night or morning
Early dawn, or evening shade. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE
Vain Are All Terrestrial Pleasures
Lord, Her Watch Thy Church Is Keeping
Author: Henry Downton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3718 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping: Lyrics: 1. Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping:
When shall earth Thy rule obey?
When shall end the night of weeping?
When shall break the promised day?
See the whitening harvest languish,
Waiting still the laborers’ toil;
Was it vain, Thy Son’s deep anguish?
Shall the strong retain the spoil?
2. Tidings, sent to every creature,
Millions yet have never heard:
Can they hear without a preacher?
Lord almighty, give the word!
Give the word! in every nation
Let the Gospel trumpet sound,
Witnessing a world’s salvation,
To the earth’s remotest bound.
3. Then the end! Thy Church completed,
All Thy chosen gathered in,
With their King in glory seated,
Satan bound, and banished sin
Gone for ever parting, weeping,
Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain;
Lo! her watch Thy Church is keeping;
Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign! Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE

It Is Good to Sing Thy Praises
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3100 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. It is good to sing Thy praises
and to thank Thee, O Most High,
Showing forth Thy lovingkindness
when the morning lights the sky.
It is good when night is falling
of Thy faithfulness to tell,
While with sweet, melodious praises,
songs of adoration swell.
2. Thou hast filled my heart with gladness
through the works Thy hands have wrought;
Thou hast made my life victorious,
great Thy works and deep Thy thought.
Thou, O Lord, on high exalted,
reignest evermore in might;
All Thy enemies shall perish,
sin be banished from Thy sight.
3. But the good shall live before Thee,
planted in Thy dwelling place.
Fruitful trees and ever verdant,
nourished by Thy boundless grace.
In His goodness to the righteous
God His righteousness displays;
God my rock, my strength and refuge,
just and true are all His ways. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE

Gracious Father, Guard Thy Children
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2012 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Gracious Father, guard Thy children
From the foe’s destructive power;
Save, O save them, Lord, from falling
In this dark and trying hour.
Thou wilt surely prove Thy people,
All our graces must be tried;
But Thy Word illumes our pathway,
And in God we still confide.
2. We are in the time of waiting;
Soon we shall behold our Lord,
Wafted far away from sorrow,
To receive our rich reward.
Keep us, Lord, till Thine appearing,
Pure, unspotted, from the world;
Let Thy Holy Spirit cheer us
Till Thy banner is unfurled.
3. With what joyful exultation
Shall the saints Thy banner see,
When the Lord for whom we’ve waited
Shall proclaim the jubilee!
Freedom from this world’s pollutions;
Freedom from all sin and pain;
Freedom from the wiles of Satan,
And from death’s destructive reign. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLESDIE

Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: Timeless Truths #961 Meter: 15.15.15.15 Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee Lyrics: Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow Thee;Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my all shall be.Perish every fond ambition, all I’ve sought or hoped or known;Yet how rich is my condition! God and heav’n are still mine own.Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior, too;Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue.And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love and might,Foes may hate and friends disown me, show Thy face and all is bright.Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn and pain!In Thy service pain is pleasure; with Thy favor, loss is gain.I have called Thee, “Abba, Father”; I have set my heart on Thee:Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, all must work for good to me.Man may trouble and distress me, ’twill but drive me to Thy breast;Life with trials hard may press me; heav’n will bring me sweeter rest.Oh, ’tis not in grief to harm me, while Thy love is left to me;Oh, ’twere not in joy to charm me, were that joy unmixed with Thee.Take, my soul, thy full salvation; rise o’er sin, and fear, and care;Joy to find in every station something still to do or bear:Think what Spirit dwells within thee; what a Father’s smile is thine;What a Savior died to win thee, child of heav’n, shouldst thou repine?Haste then on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by prayer,Heav’n’s eternal day’s before thee, God’s own hand shall guide thee there.Soon shall close thy earthly mission, swift shall pass thy pilgrim days;Hope soon change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to praise.
