The grave itself a garden is

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: CHRC1920 #110 (1920) Tune Title: DALEHURST Lyrics: 1 The grave itself a garden is, Where loveliest flow'rs abound; Since Christ, our never-fading life, Sprang from that holy ground. 2 O give us grace to die to sin, That we, O Lord, may have A holy, happy rest in Thee, A Sabbath in the grave. 3 Thou, Lord, baptized in Tine own blood, And buried in the grave, Didst raise Thyself to endless life, Omnipotent to save. 4 Baptized into Thy death we died, And buried were with Thee, That we might live with Thee to God, And ever blest might be. 5 Lord, through the grave and gate of death May we, with Thee, arise To an eternal Easter-day Of glory in the skies!

According to Thy gracious word

Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: CHRC1920 #224 (1920) Tune Title: DALEHURST Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 The Body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; The cup, Thy precious Blood, I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane, can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the Cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember Thee. 5 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Then, Lord, remember me.

Ye holy angels bright

Author: R. R. Chope; R. Baxter Hymnal: CHRC1920 #299 (1920) Tune Title: DARWALL Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright, Who wait at God's right hand, Or through the realms of light, Fly at your Lord's command, Assist our song, For else the theme too high doth seem for mortal tongue. 2 Ye blessed souls at rest, Who ran this earthly race And now, from sin released, Behold the Saviour's face, God's praises sound, As in His light With sweet delight Ye do abound. 3 Ye saints, who toil below, Adore your heavenly King, And onward as ye go Some joyful anthem sing; Take what He gives And praise Him still, Through good or ill, Who ever lives! 4 My soul, bear thou thy part, Triumph in God above: And with a well-tuned heart Sing thou the songs of love! Let all thy days Till life shall end, Whate'er He send, Be filled with praise. Languages: English

Those eternal bowers

Author: J. M. Neale Hymnal: CHRC1920 #390 (1920) Tune Title: DAVID Lyrics: 1 Those eternal bowers Man hath never trod, Those unfading flowers Round the throne of God: Who may hope to gain them, After weary fight? Who at length attain them, Clad in robes of white? 2 He who wakes from slumber At the Spirit's voice, Daring here to number Things unseen his choice: He who casts his burden Down at Jesus' Cross; Christ's reproach his guerdon, All beside but loss. 3 He who gladly barters All on earthly ground; He who, like the martyrs, Says, "I will be crowned:" He whose one oblation Is a life of love, Knit in God's salvation To the blest above. 4 Shame upon you, legions Of the heavenly King, Citizens of regions Past imagining! What, with pipe and tabor Dream away the light! When He bids you labour, When he tells you, "Fight"? 5 Jesu, Lord of glory, As we breast the tide, Whisper Thou the story Of the other side; Where the saints are casting Crowns before Thy feet, Safe for everlasting, In Thyself complete.

O day of rest and gladness

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: CHRC1920 #28 (1920) Tune Title: DAY OF REST Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee, the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing Holy, Holy, Holy, To the great God Triune. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heaven; And thus on thee most glorious A triple light was given. 3 Thou art a port protected From storms that round us rise; A garden intersected With streams of Paradise; Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry dreary sand; From thee, like Pisgah's mountain, We view our promised land. 4 To-day on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel-light is glowing, With pure and radiant beams And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the Rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Topics: The Lord's Day Languages: English

O Jesus, I have promised

Hymnal: CHRC1920 #478 (1920) Tune Title: DAY OF REST Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, I have promised To serve Thee to the end: Be Thou for ever near me, My Master and my Friend! I shall not fear the battle, If Thou art by my side, Nor wander from the pathway, If Thou wilt be my Guide. 2 O let me feel Thee near me! The world is ever near; I see the sights that dazzle, The tempting sounds I hear; My foes are ever near me, Around me and within; But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer, And shield my soul from sin. 3 O let me hear Thee speaking In accents clear and still, Above the storms of passion, The murmurs of self-will! O speak to re-assure me, To hasten or control! O speak, and make me listen, Thou Guardian of my soul! Topics: General Languages: English

O Lord, our God, Thy mighty hand

Author: H. F. van Dyke Hymnal: CHRC1920 #209 (1920) Tune Title: DE KOVEN Lyrics: 1 O Lord, our God, Thy mighty hand Hath made our country free; From all her broad and happy land May worship rise to Thee. Fulfill the promise of her youth, Her liberty defend; By law and order, love and truth, America befriend. 2 The strength of every state increase In Union's golden chain; Her thousand cities fill with peace, Her million fields with grain; The virtues of her mingled blood In one new people blend; By unity and brotherhood, America befriend! 3 O suffer not her feet to stray, But guide her untaught might, That she may walk in peaceful day, And lead the world in light. Bring down the proud, lift up the poor, Unequal ways amend; By justice, nation-wide and sure, America befriend! 4 Through all the waiting land proclaim Thy gospel of good-will; And may the joy of Jesus' name In every bosom thrill. O'er hill and vale, from sea to sea, Thy holy reign extend; By faith and hope and charity, America befriend! Topics: Holy Days National Days Languages: English

Father, Who on man dost shower

Author: P. Dearmer Hymnal: CHRC1920 #526 (1920) Tune Title: DEARMER Lyrics: 1 Father, Who on man dost shower Gifts of plenty from Thy dower, To Thy people give the power All Thy gifts to use aright. 2 Give pure happiness in leisure, Temperance in every pleasure, Holy use of earthly treasure, Bodies clear and spirits bright. 3 Lift from this and every nation All that brings us degradation; Quell the forces of temptation; Put Thine enemies to flight. 4 Be with us, Thy strength supplying, That with energy undying, Every foe of man defying, We may rally to the fight. 5 Thou Who art our Captain, ever Lead us on to great endeavour; May Thy Church the world deliver, Give us wisdom, courage, might. 6 Father, Who hast sought and found us, Son of God, Whose love has bound us, Holy Ghost, within us, round us, Hear us, Godhead infinite.

Father, let me dedicate

Author: L. Tuttiett Hymnal: CHRC1920 #213 (1920) Tune Title: DEDICATION Lyrics: 1 Father, let me dedicate All this year to Thee, In whatever worldly state Thou wilt have me be: Not from sorrow, pain or care Freedom do I claim; This alone shall be my prayer, Glorify Thy Name. 2 Can a child presume to choose Where or how to live? Can a Father's love refuse All the best to give? More Thou givest every day Than the best can claim, Nor withholdest aught that may Glorify Thy Name. 3 If in mercy Thou wilt spare Joys that yet are mine; If on life, serene and fair, Bright rays may shine; Let my glad heart, while it sings, Thee in all proclaim, And, whate'er the future brings, Glorify Thy Name. 4 If Thou callest to the cross, And its shadow come, Turning all my gain to loss, Shrouding heart and home; Let me think how Thy dear Son To His glory came, And in deepest woe pray on, Glorify Thy Name.

Still with Thee, O my God

Author: J. D. Burns Hymnal: CHRC1920 #464 (1920) Tune Title: DENNIS Lyrics: 1 Still with Thee, O my God, I would desire to be, By day, by night, at home, abroad, I would be still with Thee. 2 With Thee when dawn comes in And calls me back to care, Each day returning to begin With Thee, my God, in prayer. 3 With Thee amid the crowd That throngs the busy mart, To hear Thy voice, where time's is loud, Speak softly to my heart. 4 With Thee when day is done, And evening calms the mind; The setting as the rising sun With Thee my heart would find. 5 With thee when darkness brings The signal of repose. Calm in the shadow of Thy wings, Mine eyelids I would close. 6 With Thee, in Thee, by faith Abiding, I would be; By day, by night, in life, in death, I would be still with Thee.
