Beside the Gospel Pool

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #476 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Beside the Gospel pool Appointed for the poor; From year to year, my helpless soul Has waited for a cure. 2. How often have I seen The healing waters move; And others, round me, stepping in Their efficacy prove. 3. But my complaints remain, I feel the very same; As full of guilt, and fear, and pain. As when at first I came. 4. O would the Lord appear My malady to heal; He knows how long I’ve languished here; And what distress I feel. 5. How often have I thought Why should I longer lie? Surely the mercy I have sought Is not for such as I. 6. But whither can I go? There is no other pool Where streams of sovereign virtue flow To make a sinner whole. 7. Here then, from day to day, I’ll wait, and hope, and try; Can Jesus hear a sinner pray, Yet suffer him to die? 8. No: He is full of grace; He never will permit A soul, that fain would see His face, To perish at His feet. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW (Barnby)

The Spirit in Our Hearts

Author: Henry U. Onderdonk Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6285 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. The Spirit in our hearts Is whispering, Sinner, come; The bride, the Church of Christ, proclaims To all His children, Come. 2. To him that heareth say To all about him, Come; To him that thirsts for righteousness To Christ the fountain come. 3. Yes, whosoever will O let him freely come, And freely drink the stream of life; ’Tis Jesus bids him come. 4. Lo, Jesus who invites, Declares, I quickly come. Lord, even so; I wait Thy hour: Jesus, my Savior, come. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW (Barnby)

Sweet Is Thy Mercy, Lord

Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6414 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Sweet is Thy mercy, Lord; Before Thy mercy seat My soul, adoring, pleads Thy Word, And owns Thy mercy sweet. 2. My need and Thy desires Are all in Christ complete; Thou hast the justice truth requires, And I Thy mercy sweet. 3. Where’er Thy name is blest, Where’er Thy people meet, There I delight in Thee to rest, And find Thy mercy sweet. 4. Light Thou my weary way, Lead Thou my wandering feet, That while I stay on earth I may Still find Thy mercy sweet. 5. Thus shall the heavenly host Hear all my songs repeat To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, My joy, Thy mercy sweet. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW (Barnby)

To Thee, O God, in Heaven

Author: James F. Clarke Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6952 Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: To Thee, O God in Heaven Lyrics: 1. To Thee, O God in Heaven, This little one we bring; Giving to Thee what Thou hast giv’n, Our dearest offering. 2. Into a world of toil These little feet will roam, Where sin its purity may soil, Where care and grief may come. 3. Oh, let Thy Word of Love, With influence serene, Come down, like water, from above, To comfort and make clean! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANDREW (Barnby)

The Year Begins With Thee

Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11647 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The year begins with Thee, And Thou beginn’st with woe, To let the world of sinners see That blood for sin must flow. 2 Thine infant cries, O Lord, Thy tears upon the breast, Are not enough—the legal sword Must do its stern behest. 3 Like sacrificial wine Poured on a victim’s head Are those few precious drops of Thine, Now first to offering led. 4 They are the pledge and seal Of Christ’s unswerving faith Giv’n to His Sire, our souls to heal, Although it cost His death. 5 They to His Church of old, To each true Jewish heart, In Gospel graces manifold Communion blest impart. 6 Now of Thy love we deem As of an ocean vast, Mounting in tides against the stream Of ages gone and past. 7 Both theirs and ours Thou art, As we and they are Thine; Kings, prophets, patriarchs—all have part Along the sacred line. 8 By blood and water, too, God’s mark is set on Thee, That in Thee every faithful view Both covenants might see. 9 O bond of union, dear And strong as is Thy grace! Saints, parted by a thousand years, May thus in heart embrace. 10 Is there a mourner true, Who, fallen on faithless days, Sighs for the heart-consoling view Of those Heav’n deigned to praise? 11 In spirit may’st thou meet With faithful Abraham here, Whom soon in Eden thou shalt greet A nursing father dear. 12 Would’st thou a poet be? And would thy dull heart fain Borrow of Israel’s minstrelsy One high enraptured strain? 13 Come here thy soul to tune, Here set thy feeble chant, Here, if at all beneath the moon, Is holy David’s haunt. 14 Art thou a child of tears, Cradled in care and woe? And seems it hard, thy vernal years Few vernal joys can show? 15 And fall the sounds of mirth Sad on thy lonely heart, From all the hopes and charms of earth Untimely called to part? 16 Look here, and hold thy peace: The Giver of all good E’en from the womb takes no release From suffering, tears, and blood. 17 If thou would’st reap in love, First sow in holy fear: So life a winter’s morn may prove To a bright endless year.
