Blessed are the meek and contrite

Author: Rev. Henry Albert Becker Hymnal: ELHW1908 #442 (1908) Person Name: Rev. Henry Albert Becker Lyrics: 1 Blessed are the meek and contrite, Who in Jesus fall asleep; Blessed where the saints forever Their untiring vigils keep; They are from their labors resting; God has wiped away their tears; They are dwelling in the kingdom, Free from all their sins and fears. 2 Blessed are they, saith the Spirit, They are free from toil and care; They the kingdom do inherit, That their Savior doth prepare; They are free from tribulation, And their robes are pure and white; They have safely crossed the river, And have reached the realms of light. 3 Blessed shall they be forever, Endless is their peaceful rest, And the works they have accomplished Of their Lord are richly blest: Blessed is the faithful witness They have borne unto their Lord, While they reap abounding harvests, Promised in His faithful Word.

Back to the Cross I go again

Author: Rev. Henry Albert Becker Hymnal: ELHW1908 #477 (1908) Person Name: Rev. Henry Albert Becker Lyrics: 1 Back to the Cross I go again, So oft as I have sinned; To sing again the glad refrain, That Jesus is my Friend: Hard by the Cross, where not a soul Has ever been cast out, I prostrate fall, confessing all, And banish ev'ry doubt. Hard by the Cross, where not a soul Has ever been cast out, I prostrate fall, confessing all And banish ev'ry doubt. 2 Back to the Cross my prayer and praise At early dawn I bring; And there His grace in joyful lays My heart in peace shall sing: Hard by the Cross at eventide, When all my work is done, Secure I hide in His cleft side My failures every one. Hard by the Cross at eventide, When all my work is done, Secure I hide in Hid cleft side My failures every one. 3 Back to the Cross, where open arms Receive my troubled heart; And where no harms, or dire alarms, Their cares to me impart, Hard by the Cross let me recline, And rest, O Christ, on this: That Thou art mine and I am Thine-- Thy will is, me to bless. Hard by the Cross let me recline And rest, O Christ on this: That Thou art mine and I am Thine-- Thy will is, me to bless. 4 Back to the Cross in haste I go With each returning day: For well I know, His blood doth flow To wash my sin away: Hard by the Cross each day I rest, And learn at Jesus' feet My King's behest, --till with the blest In their sweet home I meet, Hard by the Cross each day I rest, And learn at Jesus' feet My King's behest,--till with the blest In their sweet home I meet.

When Israel thro' the desert passed

Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: ELHW1908 #180 (1908) Person Name: Benjamin Beddome Lyrics: 1 When Israel thro' the desert passed, A fiery pillar went before, To guide them thro' the dreary waste, And lessen the fatigues they bore. 2 Such is Thy glorious Word, O God! 'Tis for our light and guidance giv'n; It sheds its lustre all abroad And points the path to bliss and heav'n. 3 It fills the soul with sweet delight, And quickens its inactive powers; It sets our wand'ring footsteps right, Displays Thy love, and kindles ours. 4 Its promises rejoice our hearts, Its doctrines are divinely true; While highest wisdom it imparts, It comforts and instructs us too. 5 Ye favored lands that have this word, Ye saints who feel its saving power, Unite your tongues to praise the Lord And His redeeming grace adore!

O Jesus King of glory!

Author: Martin Behm; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #54 (1908) Person Name: Martin Behm Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, King of glory! Both David’s God and Son! Thy realm endures forever, In heaven is fixed Thy throne: Help, that in earth’s dominions Throughout, from pole to pole, Thy realm may spread salvation To each benighted soul. 2 The Eastern sages, bringing Their tribute-gifts to Thee, Bear witness to Thy kingdom And humbly bow the knee. The Eastern star points to Thee, As doth the inspired Word, Hence joyously we hail Thee: Our blest Redeemer, Lord! 3 Thou art a mighty Monarch, As by the Word we're told, Yet carest Thou but little For earthly goods or gold; On no proud steed Thou ridest, Thou wear’st no jeweled crown Nor dwell’st in lordly castle, But bearest scoff and frown. 4 Yet art Thou decked with beauty, With rays of glorious light; Thou ever teem'st with goodness, And all Thy ways are right. Vouchsafe to shield Thy people With Thy almighty arm, That they may dwell in safety From those who mean but harm. 5 Ah, look on me with pity Though I am weak and poor, Admit me to Thy kingdom, To dwell there, blest and sure. Vouchsafe to keep and guide me Safe from all evil foes, From sin, and death, and Satan; Free me from all my woes. 6 And bid Thy Word within me Shine as the fairest star; Keep sin and all false doctrine From all Thy people far; Help us confess Thee truly, And with Thy Christendom, Here own Thee King and Savior And in the world to come.
