Shine on our souls, eternal God!
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: BWHT1899 #193 (1899) Person Name: Willaim Tans'ur Lyrics: 1 Shine on our souls, eternal God!
With rays of beauty shine;
Oh, let Thy favor crown our days,
And their whole course be Thine.
2 Did we not raise our hands to Thee,
Our hands might toil in vain:
Small joy success itself could give,
If Thou Thy love restrain.
3 'Tis ours the furrows to prepare,
And sow the precious grain:
'Tis Thine to give the sun and air,
And to command the rain.
4 With Thee let every week begin,
With Thee each day be spent,
For Thee each fleeting hour improved,
Since each by Thee is lent.
5 Thus cheer us through this toilsome road
Till all our labors cease;
And heaven refresh our weary souls
With everlasting peace.
Amen. Topics: Petition; God Providence of; Harvest; Providence Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MARTIN'S
Shine on our souls, eternal God!
Our Lord is risen from the dead
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: BWHT1899 #269 (1899) Person Name: William Tans'ur Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead;:
Our Jesus is gone up on high;
The powers of hell are captive led,
Dragged to the portals of the sky,
Dragged to the portals of the sky.
2 There His triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates;
Ye everlasting doors, give way!
Ye everlasting doors, give way!
3 Loose all your bars of massy light,
And wide unfold the radiant scene;
He claims these mansions as His right;
Receive the King of glory in!
Receive the King of glory in!
4 Who is the King of Glory, who?
The Lord who all our foes o'ercame;
The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew;
And Jesus is the Conqueror's name,
And Jesus is the Conqueror's name.
Amen.

Our Lord is risen from the dead
Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne
Author: Ray Palmer Hymnal: BWHT1899 #299 (1899) Person Name: William Tans'ur Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne,
Where Thy redeemed behold Thy face,
Enter this temple, now Thine own,
And let Thy glory fill the place,
And let Thy glory fill the place.
2 We praise Thee that to-day we see
Its sacred walls before Thee stand;
'Tis Thine for us; 'tis ours for Thee;
Reared by Thy kind assisting hand,
Reared by Thy kind assisting hand.
3 Oft as returns the day of rest,
Let heartfelt worship here ascend;
With Thine own joy fill every breast,
With Thine own power Thy word attend,
With Thine own power Thy word attend.
4 Here in the dark and sorrowing day,
Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still;
Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away,
And give new strength to meet Thy will,
And give new strength to meet Thy will.
5 When round the Board Thine own shall meet,
And keep the feast of dying love,
Be our communion ever sweet
With Thee, and with Thy Church above,
With Thee, and with Thy Church above.
6 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep;
In Thine own arms the lambs enfold;
Give help to climb the heavenward steep,
Till Thy full glory we behold,
Till Thy full glory we behold.
Amen. Topics: Church Beauty and Glory of; Church nature of; Churches Dedication; Churches Erection Languages: English Tune Title: ROTHWELL
Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne
'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow
Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: BWHT1899 #241 (1899) Person Name: William B. Tappan Lyrics: 1 'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow
The star is dimmed that lately shown:
'Tis midnight; in the garden now
The suffering Saviour prays alone.
2 'Tis midnight; and from all removed,
Immanuel wrestles lone, with fears;
E'en the disciple that He loved
Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.
3 'Tis midnight; and, for others' guilt,
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood;
Yet He that hath in anguish knelt
Is not forsaken by His God.
4 'Tis midnight; and from ether-plains
Is borne the song that angels know:
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.
Amen. Topics: Christ Loneliness of; Christ Passion of; Gethsemane; Lent Languages: English Tune Title: OLIVE'S BROW
'Tis midnight; and on Olive's brow
There is an hour of hallowed peace
Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: BWHT1899 #590 (1899) Person Name: William B. Tappan Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of hallowed peace
For those with cares oppressed,
When sighs and sorrowing shall cease,
And all be hushed to rest.
2 ‘Tis then the soul is freed from fears
And doubts that here annoy;
Then they, who oft have sown in tears,
Shall reap again in joy.
3 There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms assail no more;
The stream of endless pleasure flows
On that celestial shore.
4 There, purity with love appears,
And bliss without alloy;
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap eternal joy.
Amen. Topics: Heaven Rest in Languages: English Tune Title: ALEXANDRIA
There is an hour of hallowed peace
There is an hour of peaceful rest
Author: William B. Tappan 1822-1846 Hymnal: BWHT1899 #592 (1899) Person Name: William B. Tappan 1822-1846 Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wanderers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed,
A balm for every wounded breast--
’Tis found above--in heaven.
2 There is a home for weary souls
By sin and sorrow driven;
When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals,
When storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear--but heaven.
3 There faith lifts up her cheerful eye,
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene--in heaven.
4 There fragrant flowers immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There joys divine disperse the gloom:
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven.
Amen. Topics: Heaven Rest in Languages: English Tune Title: WOODLAND

O God! we praise Thee, and confess

Whom heavenly hosts obey,
The world is with the glory filled
Of Thy majestic sway!
4 Th'apostles' glorious company,
And prophets crowned with light,
With all the martyrs' noble host,
Thy constant praise recite.

O Lord, confesses Thee,
That Thou th'eternal Father art,
Of boundless majesty.

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Author: Nahum Tate Hymnal: BWHT1899 #225 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: Nahum Tate Lyrics: 1 While shepherds watched their flocks by night,
All seated on the ground;
The angel of the Lord came down,
And glory shone around.
"Fear not," said he,--for mighty dread
Had seized their troubled mind,--
"Glad tidings of great joy I bring,
To you and all mankind.
2 "To you, in David's town this day,
Is born of David's line
The Saviour, who is Christ, the Lord,
And this shall be the sign:--
The heavenly babe you there shall find
To human view displayed,
All simply wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid."
5 Thus spoke the seraph--and forthwith
Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song:--
"All glory be to God on high,
And to the earth be peace;
Good-will will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin, and never cease!"
Amen. Topics: Angels; Christ First Advent; Christ Humiliation of; Christ Savior; Christ Son of David; Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: NOEL
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Through all the changing scenes of life
Author: Nicholas Brady; Nahum Tate Hymnal: BWHT1899 #475 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Nahum Tate Lyrics: 1 Through all the changing scenes of life,
In trouble and in joy,
The praises of my God shall still
My heart and tongue employ;
Of His deliverance I will boast,
Till all that are distrest
From my example comfort take,
And charm their griefs to rest.
2 O magnify the Lord with me,
With me exalt His Name!
When in distress on Him I called
He to my rescue came:
The hosts of God encamp around
The dwellings of the just;
Deliverance He affords to all
Who on His succor trust.
3 O make but trial of His love;
Experience will decide
How blest they are, and only they,
Who in His truth confide;
Fear Him, ye saints, and you will then
Have nothing else to fear:
Make you His service your delight,
He'll make your wants His care.
Amen. Topics: Trust In God Languages: English Tune Title: BRADY
Through all the changing scenes of life
God of mercy! God of grace!
Author: John Taylor Hymnal: BWHT1899 #385 (1899) Person Name: John Taylor Lyrics: 1 God of mercy! God of grace!
Hear our penitential songs;
Oh, restore Thy suppliant race,
Thou to whom our praise belongs!
2 Deep regret for follies past,
Talents wasted, time misspent;
Hearts debased by worldly cares,
Thankless for the blessings lent;
3 Foolish fears and fond desires;
Vain regrets for things as vain;
Lips too seldom taught to praise,
Oft to murmur and complain;
4 These, and every secret fault,
Filled with grief and shame, we own;
Humbled at Thy feet we lie,
Seeking pardon from Thy throne.
Amen. Topics: Self Abasement; Backsliding; Love brotherly; Confession of Sin; Contrition; Spiritual Declension; Inconstancy; Lukewarmness; Penitence; Repentance; Wandering from God Languages: English Tune Title: ESHTEMOA
God of mercy! God of grace!
