By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored

Author: George Rawson Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 188 hymnals Lyrics: By Christ redeemed, in Christ restored, We keep the memory adored, And show the death of our dear Lord, Until he come. His Body broken in our stead Is here, in this memorial bread; And so our feeble love is fed, Until he come. His fearful drops of agony, His Life-blood shed for us we see: The wine shall tell the mystery, Until he come. And thus that dark betrayal night, With the last Advent we unite The shame, the glory, by this rite, Until he come. Until the trump of God be heard, Until the ancient graves be stirred, And with the great commanding word, The Lord shall come. 306 O blessèd hope! with this elate, Let not our hearts be desolate, But strong in faith, in patience wait, Until he come!

My God, my Father, while I stray

Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 565 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father, while I stray Far from my home, on life’s rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, Thy will be done! 2 Though dark my path and sad my lot, Let me be still and murmur not, Or breathe the prayer divinely taught, Thy will be done! 3 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh? Submissive still would I reply, Thy will be done! 4 If thou shouldst call me to resign What most I prized,--it ne’er was mine; I only yield Thee what is Thine; Thy will be done! 5 Should grief or sickness waste away My life in premature decay, My Father, still I strive to say, Thy will be done! 6 Let but my fainting heart be blest With Thy good Spirit for its guest, My God, to Thee I leave the rest; Thy will be done! 7 Renew my will from day to day, Blend it with Thine, and take away All that now makes it hard to say, Thy will be done! 8 Then, when on earth I breathe no more The prayer oft mixed with tears before, I’ll sing upon a happier shore, Thy will be done!

Who givest all

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.8.4 Appears in 335 hymnals First Line: O Lord of heaven and earth and sea Lyrics: 1 O Lord of heaven and earth and sea, To Thee all praise and glory be; How shall we show our love to Thee, Who givest all? 2 The golden sunshine, vernal air, Sweet flowers and fruit, Thy love declare; Where harvests ripen, Thou art there, Who givest all. 3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days, For all the blessings earth displays, We owe Thee thankfulness and praise, Who givest all. 4 Thou didst not spare Thine only Son, But gav'st Him for a world undone, And freely with that blessed One Thou givest all. 5 Thou giv'st the Spirit's holy dower, Spirit of life, and love, and power, And dost His sevenfold graces shower Upon us all. 6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven, For means of grace and hopes of heaven, What can to Thee, O Lord, be given, Who givest all? 7 We lose what on ourselves we spend, We have, as treasure without end Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend, Who givest all. 8 Whatever Lord, we lend to Thee, Repaid a thousand fold will be; Then gladly will we give to Thee Who givest all,-- 9 To Thee, from whom we all derive, Our life, our gifts, our power to give; O may we ever with Thee live, Who givest all!
