Behold, He Cometh

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #188 (1866) Person Name: Anonymous First Line: Hark! through the waking earth Lyrics: Hark! through the waking earth, Hark! through the echoing sky, Herald of freedom’s birth, There comes a glorious cry. The triple chains that bind Fall from the weary limb, And from the down-crushed mind, As soundeth that high hymn. Unto man’s waiting heart It saith,—“Arise, be strong! Bear thou an earnest part Against all forms of wrong. “Wouldst live in earth as lives The glorious One above? He for thy model gives Himself, and he is Love. “Love in each brother man The God who loveth him; Revere the stamp of heaven, However marred and dim. “Bid fear give place to love; Bid doubt and passion cease; Be every word of hate Forever hushed in peace.” Sound, sound through all the earth! Sound through the echoing sky! Proclaim the world’s new birth; Proclaim the Lord is nigh! Languages: English

Turn thee, brother, homeward come! Hast thou wasted all the powers God for noble uses gave? Squandered life’s most golden hours? Turn thee, brother, God can save! Is a mighty famine now In thy heart and in thy soul? Discontent upon thy brow? Turn thee, God will make thee whole! He can heal thy bitterest wound, He thy gentlest prayer can hear; Seek Him, for He may be found; Call upon Him; He is near. Languages: English

Acquaint Thee with God

Acquaint thee, O spirit, acquaint thee with God, And he shall be with thee when fears are abroad; Thy safeguard in danger that threatens thy path, Thy joy in the valley and shadow of death.

The Broken Shield

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #202 (1866) Person Name: Anonymous First Line: O, Send me not away! for I would drink Lyrics: O, send me not away! for I would drink, Even I, the weakest, at the fount of life; Chide not my steps, that venture near the brink, Weary and fainting from the deadly strife. Went I not forth undaunted and alone, Strong in the majesty of human might? Lo! I return, all wounded and forlorn, My dream of glory lost in shades of night. Was I not girded for the battle-field? Bore I not helm of pride and glittering sword? Behold the fragments of my broken shield, And lend to me Thy heavenly armor, Lord! Languages: English

Angels from Heaven Strengthening Him

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #215 (1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Anonymous First Line: When in thine hour of conflict, Lord Lyrics: When in thine hour of conflict, Lord, The tempter to thy soul was nigh, Or when that bitter cup was poured In thy deep garden-agony,— Not then, when uttermost thy need, Seemed light across thy soul to break; No seraph form was seen to speed, Nor yet the voice of comfort spake; Till, by thine own triumphant word, The victory over ill was won; Until the voice of faith was heard, “Thy will, O God, not mine, be done!” Lord, bring those precious moments back, When fainting against sin we strain; Or in thy counsels fail to track Aught but the present grief and pain. In weakness, help us to contend; In darkness, yield to God our will; And true hearts, faithful to the end, Cheer by thine holy angels still! Languages: English

Spiritual Blessings

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #217 (1866) Person Name: Anonymous First Line: Almighty Father! Thou hast many a blessing Lyrics: Almighty Father! Thou hast many a blessing In store for every erring child of Thine; For this I pray,—Let me, Thy grace possessing, Seek to be guided by Thy will divine. Not for earth’s treasures, for her joys the dearest, Would I my supplications raise to Thee; Not for the hopes that to my heart are nearest, But only that I give that heart to Thee. I pray that Thou wouldst guide and guard me ever; Cleanse, by Thy power, from every stain of sin; I will Thy blessing ask on each endeavor, And thus Thy promised peace my soul shall win.

Lead Thou Me On!

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #220 (1866) Meter: Irregular Person Name: Anonymous First Line: Send kindly light amid the encircling gloom Lyrics: Send kindly light amid the encircling gloom, And lead me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home; Lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet: I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on! I loved day’s dazzling light, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years! So long Thy power hath blessed me, surely still ’Twill lead me on Through dreary doubt, through pain and sorrow, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Self-Renunciation

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #230 (1866) Person Name: Anonymous First Line: O Lord! how happy should we be Lyrics: O Lord! how happy should we be, If we could leave our cares to Thee, If we from self could rest, And feel at heart that One above, In perfect wisdom, perfect love, Is working for the best. For when we kneel and cast our care Upon our God in humble prayer, With strengthened souls we rise; Sure that our Father, who is nigh To hear the ravens when they cry, Will hear His children’s cries. O, may these trustless hearts of ours The lesson learn from birds and flowers, And learn from self to cease,— Leave all things to our Father’s will, And, on His mercy, leaning still, Find, in each trial, peace!

Aspiration

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: BHPPD866 #238 (1866) Person Name: Anonymous First Line: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings Lyrics: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace! Rise, from transitory things, Towards heaven, thy native place! Sun, and moon, and stars decay; Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above! Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire, ascending, seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source; So the spirit, born of God, Pants to view His glorious face; Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace.
