Son of Man, to Thee I cry

Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: LHTC1918 #83 (1917) Tune Title: LA TROBE Lyrics: 1 Son of Man, to Thee I cry; By the wondrous mystery Of Thy dwelling here on earth, By Thy pure and holy birth, Lord, Thy presence let me see: Manifest Thyself to me. 2 Lamb of God, to Thee I cry; By Thy bitter agony, By Thy pangs, to us unknown, By Thy spirit's parting groan, Lord, Thy presence let me see, Manifest Thyself to me. 3 Prince of Life, to Thee I cry; By Thy glorious majesty, By Thy triumph o'er the grave, Meek to suffer, strong to save, Lord, Thy presence let me see, Manifest Thyself to me. 4 Lord of Glory, God Most High, Man exalted to the sky! With Thy love my bosom fill; Prompt me to perform Thy will; Then Thy glory I shall see: Thou wilt bring me home to Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Lent: Litany Hymns Languages: English

Throned upon the awful tree

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: LHTC1918 #104 (1917) Tune Title: LA TROBE Lyrics: 1 Throned upon the awful tree, King of grief, I watch with Thee; Darkness veils Thine anguished face, None its lines of woe can trace, None can tell what pangs unknown Hold Thee silent and alone. 2 Silent through those three dread hours, Wrestling with the evil powers, Left alone with human sin, Gloom around Thee and within, Till the appointed time is nigh, Till the Lamb of God may die. 3 Hark that cry that peals aloud Upward through the whelming cloud! Thou, the Father’s Only Son, Thou, His own Anointed One. Thou dost ask Him--can it be? “Why hast Thou forsaken Me?” 4 Lord, should fear and anguish roll, Darkly o’er my sinful soul, Thou, who once wast thus bereft That Thine own might ne’er be left-- Teach me by that bitter cry In the gloom to know Thee nigh. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Good Friday Languages: English

My soul, be on thy guard

Author: George Heath Hymnal: LHTC1918 #A272 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: LABAN Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on thy guard; Ten thousand foes arise, The hosts of sin are pressing hard To draw thee from the skies. 2 O watch, and fight, and pray, The battle ne’er give o’er; Renew it boldly every day, And help divine implore. 3 Ne’er think the victory won, Nor lay thine armor down; Thine arduous work will not be done Till thou receive thy crown. 4 Fight on, my soul, till death Shall bring thee to thy God; He’ll take thee at thy parting breath, To His divine abode. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English

Rejoice, all ye believers

Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Sarah Borthwick Findlater Hymnal: LHTC1918 #13 (1917) Tune Title: LANCASHIRE Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon will He draw nigh. Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle-- At midnight comes the cry! 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Their cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Languages: English

The day of Resurrection!

Author: John Mason Neale; John of Damascus Hymnal: LHTC1918 #115 (1917) Tune Title: LANCASHIRE Lyrics: 1 The day of Resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad! The Passover of gladness! The Passover of God! From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. 2 Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection-light And, list'ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain, His own "All hail!"--and, hearing, May raise the victor-strain. 3 Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth its song begin! Let all the world keep triumph, And all that is therein; In grateful exultation Their notes of gladness blend, For Christ the Lord has risen, Our Joy that hath no end! Amen.

Come, let us join our friends above

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: LHTC1918 #205 (1917) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Title: LANCASTER Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above, That have obtained the prize, And on the eagle wings of love To joy celestial rise. 2 Let all the saints terrestrial sing, With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King, In earth and heaven, are one. 3 One family, we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 4 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of His host has crossed the flood, And part is crossing now. 5 E'en now by faith we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the blood-besprinkled bands On the eternal shore. 6 Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide, And when the word is given, Bid the cold waves of death divide, And land us all in heaven. Amen. Languages: English

Now that the sun is beaming bright

Author: John Henry Newman Hymnal: LHTC1918 #451 (1917) Tune Title: LANCASTER Lyrics: 1 Now that the sun is gleaming bright, Once more to God we pray, That He, the uncreated Light, May guide our souls this day. 2 No sinful word, nor deed of wrong, Nor thoughts that idly rove, But simple truth be on our tongue, And in our hearts be love. 3 And while the hours in order flow, O Christ, securely fence Our gates, beleaguered by the foe,-- The gate of every sense. 4 And grant that to Thine honor, Lord, Our daily toil may tend; That we begin it at Thy word, And in Thy favor end. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Morning Languages: English

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel John Stone Hymnal: LHTC1918 #324a (1917) Tune Title: LANGRAN Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look to heaven, and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home, And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 3 ’Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father’s child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. 4 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in Thy Father’s courts my glorious dress May be the garment of Thy righteousness. 5 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord: Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown, Mine the life won, through Thine, the life laid down. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Languages: English

When morning gilds the skies

Author: Anon.; Robert Bridges; Edward Caswall Hymnal: LHTC1918 #310 (1917) Tune Title: LAUDES DOMINI Lyrics: 1 When morning gilds the skies, My heart awaking, cries: May Jesus Christ be praised. When evening shadows fall, This rings my curfew call: May Jesus Christ be praised. 2 When mirth for music longs, This is my song of songs: May Jesus Christ be praised. God’s holy house of prayer Hath none that can compare With: May Jesus Christ be praised. 3 No lovelier antiphon In all high heaven is known Than: Jesus Christ be praised. There to th'eternal Word The eternal psalm is heard: May Jesus Christ be praised. 4 Ye nations of mankind, In this your concord find: May Jesus Christ be praised. Let all the earth around Ring joyous with the sound: May Jesus Christ be praised. 5 Sing, sun and stars of space, Sing, ye that see His face, Sing: Jesus Christ be praised. God’s whole creation o'er, Both aye and evermore Shall Jesus Christ be praised. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Languages: English
