All hail the glorious morn

Author: John Peacock Hymnal: BWHT1899 #266 (1899) Person Name: John Darwall Lyrics: 1 All hail the glorious morn That saw our Saviour rise, With victory bright adorned, And triumph in His eyes! Ye saints, extol your risen Lord, And sing His praise with sweet accord. 2 Behold the Lamb of God, The atoning Sacrifice, Sustains the dreadful load Of man's iniquities; Death, sin, and hell, our cruel foes, All vanquished fell when Jesus rose. 3 The Conqueror ascends In triumph to the skies: Celestial hosts attend, To crown His victories; Hark! they proclaim His glorious name! And heaven resounds Immanuel's fame. 4 Now to the throne above Let every saint draw near; There dwells incarnate love; Grace sits triumphant there; See mercy smile, e'en on that throne Where once did wrath and justice frown. Amen.

To God I lift mine eyes

God is the tower To which I fly: His grace is nigh In every hour. 2 My feet shall never slide Or fall in fatal snares; Since God, my guard and guide, Defends me from my fears. Those wakeful eyes That never sleep, His children keep When dangers rise. 3 No burning heats by day, Nor blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there. Thou art my sun, And Thou my shade, To guard my head By night or noon. Amen.

Thou sweet flowing Kedron, by thy silver streams

Author: Maria DeFleury Hymnal: BWHT1899 #244 (1899) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Person Name: Maria DeFleury Lyrics: 1 Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams Our Saviour at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams Shone bright on thy waters, would frequently stray, And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day. 2 How damp were the vapors that fell on His head! How hard was His pillow, how humble His bed! The angels, astonished, grew sad at the sight, And followed their Master with solemn delight. 3 Oh, garden of Olives, thou dear, honored spot, The fame of thy wonders shall ne'er be forgot; The theme most transporting to seraphs above; The triumph of sorrow--the triumph of love. 4 Come, saints, and adore Him; come, bow at His feet Oh, give Him the glory, the praise that is meet; Let joyful hosannas unceasing arise, And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies. Amen. Topics: Angels; Christ Passion of; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: MAGILL

Give us Thy meek, Thy lowly mind: We would obedient be, And all our rest and pleasure find In learning, Lord, of Thee. Amen.

The King that sitteth on thy throne In His felicity? 3 Thy gardens and thy goodly walks Continually are green, Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers As nowhere else are seen.

As with gladness men of old

Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: BWHT1899 #226 (1899) Person Name: William C. Dix Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold, As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, Saviour, to Thy manger bed, There to bend the knee before Thee whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At thy cradle rude and bare, So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin’s alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide.

Come unto me, ye weary

Author: William C. Dix Hymnal: BWHT1899 #361 (1899) Person Name: William C. Dix Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary, And I will give you rest." Oh, blessed voice of Jesus Which comes to hearts opprest; It tells of benediction, Of pardon, grace, and peace, Of joy that hath no ending, Of love which cannot cease. 2 "Come unto me, dear children, And I will give you light." Oh, loving voice of Jesus, Which comes to cheer the night: Our hearts were filled with sadness, And we had lost our way, But morning brings us gladness, And songs the break of day. 3 "Come unto me, ye fainting, And I will give you life." Oh, peaceful voice of Jesus, Which comes to end our strife; The foe is stern and eager, The fight is fierce and long; But Thou hast made me mighty, And stronger than the strong. 4 "And whosoever cometh I will not cast Him out." Oh, patient voice of Jesus, Which drives away our doubt: Which calls us,--very sinners, Unworthy though we be Of love so free and boundless,-- To come, dear Lord, to Thee. Amen.
