My Church! My Church!

Hymnal: HOoS1926 #276 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Tune Title: ATHENS First Line: My Church! my Church! my dear old Church! Lyrics: 1 My Church! my Church! my dear old Church! My fathers’ and my own! On prophets, and apostles built, And Christ the cornerstone! All else beside, by storm or tide, May yet be overthrown; But not my Church, my dear old Church, My fathers’ and my own! 2 My Church! my Church! my dear old Church! I love her ancient name; And God forbid, a child of hers Should ever do her shame! Her mother-care I'll ever share; Her child I am alone, Till He who gave me to her arms Shall call me to His own. 3 My Church! my Church! I love my Church, For she doth lead me on To Zion’s palace beautiful, Where Christ my Lord hath gone. From all below she bids me go To Him, the Life, the Way, The Truth to guide my erring feet From darkness into day. 4 Then here, my Church! my dear old Church! Thy child would add a vow, To that whose token once was signed Upon his infant brow:-- Assault who may, kiss and betray, Dishonor and disown, My Church shall yet be dear to me, My fathers' and my own! Amen.

Scattered are the clouds of error, Sin and hell are captive led: E'en the grave is free from terror, Christ is risen from the dead! 3 Every people, every nation Soon shall hear the gladsome sound; Joyous tidings of salvation, Borne to earth's remotest bound. Then shall rise, in tones excelling, Praise for grace so freely shed, And the Easter hymn be swelling, Christ is risen from the dead! Amen.

Lord, with Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Hymnal: HOoS1926 #296 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Tune Title: AUTUMN Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pard'ning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the bloodstained Cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant’s prayer to bless. Let Thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise: And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise. Amen.

My Soul, Repeat His Praise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HOoS1926 #293 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: BARNBY'S HYMNARY, TUNE 525 Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great, Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His wrath is felt, His strokes are few than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins; And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure, And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure. Amen. Topics: Worship Prayer and Praise; A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival; Thanksgiving Scripture: Psalm 103 Languages: English
