Jesus, still lead on

Author: N. L. von Zinzendorf; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: The Hymnal #449b (1916) Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won; And, although the way be cheerless, We will follow, calm and fearless; Guide us by thy hand To our Fatherland. 409 If the way be drear, If the foe be near, Let not faithless fears o'ertake us, Let not faith and hope forsake us; For through many a woe To our home we go. When we seek relief From a long-felt grief; When temptations come alluring, Make us patient and enduring; Show us that bright shore Where we weep no more. Jesus, still lead on, Till our rest be won: Heavenly Leader, still direct us, Still support, console, protect us, Till we safely stand In our Fatherland. Amen. Tune Title: ST. WILFRID

Angel voices, ever singing

The Church's one foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: The Hymnal #464 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is his new creation By water and the word: From heaven he came and sought her To be his holy bride; With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died. 422 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest; Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

We love the place, O God

Author: William Bullock Hymnal: The Hymnal #465 (1916) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: We love the place, O God, Wherein thine honour dwells; The joy of thine abode All other joy excels. We love the house of prayer, Wherein thy servants meet; For thou, O Lord, art there Thy chosen ones to greet. We love the sacred font, Wherein the holy Dove Bestows, as ever wont, His blessing from above. We love thine altar, Lord, Its mysteries revere; For there, in faith adored, We find thy presence near. We love thy holy word, The lamp thou gav'st to guide All wanderers home, O Lord, Home to their Father's side. Then let us sing the love To us so freely given, Until we sing above The triumph song of heaven! Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: QUAM DILECTA

Pleasant are thy courts above

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Hymnal #467 (1916) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Pleasant are thy courts above, In the land of light and love; Pleasant are thy courts below, In this land of sin and woe. O my spirit longs and faints For the converse of thy saints, For the brightness of thy face, For thy fullness, God of grace! Happy birds that sing and fly Round thy altars, O Most High! Happier souls that find a rest In a heavenly Father's breast! Like the wandering dove, that found No repose on earth around, They can to their ark repair And enjoy it ever there. 425 Happy souls! their praises flow Ever in this vale of woe; Waters in the desert rise, Manna feeds them from the skies: On they go from strength to strength Till they reach thy throne at length, At thy feet adoring fall, Who hast led them safe through all. Lord, be mine this prize to win; Guide me through a world of sin; Keep me by thy saving grace; Give me at thy side a place. Sun and shield alike thou art; Guide and guard my erring heart. Grace and glory flow from thee; Shower, O shower them, Lord, on me! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 84 Languages: English Tune Title: MAIDSTONE

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Hymnal #468 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Glorious things of thee are spoken, Sion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for his own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, when such a river Ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 426 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near. Thus deriving from their banner, Light by night, and shade by day, Safe they feed upon the manna, Which he gives them when they pray. Blest inhabitants of Sion, Washed in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom their souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. 'Tis his love his people raises Over self to reign as kings: And as priests, his solemn praises Each for a thank-offering brings.

Lord of our life, and God of our salvation

Author: Matthäus A. Von Löwenstern; Philip Pusey Hymnal: The Hymnal #469 (1916) Meter: 11.11.11.5 Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: Lord of our life, and God of our salvation, Star of our night, and hope of every nation, Hear and receive thy Church's supplication, Lord God Almighty. See round thine ark the hungry billows curling! See how thy foes their banners are unfurling! Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling, Thou canst preserve us. 427 Lord, thou canst help when earthly armour faileth; Lord, thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth; Lord, o'er thy rock nor death nor hell prevaileth: Grant us thy peace, Lord! Peace, in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging, Peace, in thy Church, where brothers are engaging, Peace, when the world its busy war is waging; Calm thy foes raging! Grant us thy help till backward they are driven; Grant them thy truth, that they may be forgiven; Grant peace on earth, and after we have striven, Peace in thy heaven. Amen.

Publish glad tidings; tidings of peace

Author: Mary A. Thomson Hymnal: The Hymnal #474 (1916) Meter: Irregular Topics: Sunday Schools General Use First Line: O Sion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling Lyrics: O Sion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is Light; That he who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night: Publish glad tidings; tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, Redemption and release. Behold how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Savior's dying, Or of the life he died for them to win. 'Tis thine to save from peril of perdition The souls for whom the Lord his life laid down; Beware lest, slothful to fulfill thy mission, Thou lose one jewel that should deck his crown. Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is Love: Tell how he stooped to save his lost creation, And died on earth that man might live above. 433 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way, Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious; And all thou spendest Jesus will repay. He comes again! O Sion, ere thou meet him, Make known to every heart his saving grace; Let none whom he hath ransomed fail to greet him, Through thy neglect, unfit to see his face.

From Greenland's icy mountains

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: The Hymnal #476 (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Sunday Schools General Use Lyrics: From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile: In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strown; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. Can we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high; Can we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till each remotest nation Has learnt Messiah's Name. Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign.
