O Lord of Hosts, How Lovely

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord of hosts, how lovely thy tabernacles are; for them my heart is yearning in banishment afar. My soul is longing, fainting, thy sacred courts to see; my heart and flesh are crying, O living God, for thee. 2 Beneath thy care the sparrow finds place for peaceful rest; to keep her young in safety the swallow finds a nest; then, Lord, my King Almighty, thy love will shelter me; beside thy holy altar my dwelling place shall be. 3 Blest they who dwell in Zion, whose joy and strength thou art; forever they will praise thee, thy ways are in their heart. Though tried, their tears like showers shall fill the springs with peace, and all the way to Zion their strength shall still increase. 4 Lord God of hosts, in mercy my supplication hear; almighty and all faithful, our fathers' God, give ear. Our shield and great defender, no longer hide thy face, but look upon thy servant anointed by thy grace. 5 In thy blest courts to worship, my God, a single day is better than a thousand while far from thee I stray. Though in a lowly station, the service of my Lord I choose above all pleasures that sinful ways afford. 6 A sun and shield forever is God, the Lord Most High; to those who walk uprightly no good will he deny. His saints, his grace receiving, shall soon his glory see; O Lord of hosts, most blessed are they that trust in thee.

O happy band of pilgrims

Author: St. Joseph the Hymnographer; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 183 hymnals Lyrics: O happy band of pilgrims, If onward ye will tread With Jesus as your fellow To Jesus as your head! O happy if ye labour As Jesus did for men! O happy if ye hunger As Jesus hungered then! The cross that Jesus carried, He carried as your due: The crown that Jesus weareth, He weareth it for you. The faith by which ye see him, The hope in which ye yearn, The love that through all troubles To him alone will turn; The trials that beset you, The sorrows ye endure, The manifold temptations That death alone can cure; What are they but his jewels, Of right celestial worth? What are they but the ladder Set up to heaven on earth? O happy band of pilgrims, Look upward to the skies, Where such a light affliction Shall win so great a prize! 497 To Father, Son, and Spirit, The God whom we adore, Be loftiest praises given, Now and for evermore. Amen. Topics: Sundays after Trinity Divine Guidance; Travelers by Sea and Land; Processional; Sunday Schools Closing Hymns; Sunday Schools Processionals Used With Tune: KNECHT

To Thee my Spirit turns

Author: Dr. J. S. B. Monsell Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: To Thee, O blessed Saviour Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O blessed Saviour, My spirit turns for rest; My peace is in Thy favour, My pillow on Thy breast. 2 In Thee my trust abideth, On Thee my hope relies, O Thou whose love provideth For all beneath the skies. 3 My grief is in the dulness With which this sluggish heart Doth open to the fulness Of all Thou wouldst impart. 4 My joy is in Thy beauty Of holiness divine; My comfort in thy duty That binds my life to Thine. 5 Give me a heart to love Thee More truly as I ought, And nothing place above Thee In deed, or word, or thought. 6 Oh for that choicest blessing Of living in Thy love, And thus on earth possessing The peace of heaven above! Used With Tune: [To Thee, O blessed Saviour]

A Great and Mighty Wonder

Author: Anatolius Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A great and might wonder Our Christmas festal brings; On earth, a lowly Infant, Behold the King of kings! 2 The Word is made incarnate, Descending from on high; And Cherubim sing anthems To shepherds, from the sky. 3 And we, with them triumphant, Repeat the hymn again: "To God on high be glory, And peace on earth, to men!" 4 Since all He comes to ransom, By all be He adored, The Infant born in Bethlehem, The Saviour and the Lord! 5 All idol forms shall perish, And error shall decay, And Christ shall wield His scepter, Our Lord and God for aye. Amen. Topics: Church Year Advent; Christmas Day Used With Tune: KOCHER
