While Thee I seek, protecting Power

Author: H. M. Williams Hymnal: CHRC1920 #488 (1920) Tune Title: BEATITUDO Lyrics: 1 While Thee I seek, protecting Power, Be my vain wishes stilled; And may this consecrated hour With better hopes be filled. 2 Thy love the power of tho't bestowed, To Thee my thoughts would soar; Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed, That mercy I adore. 3 In each event of life, how clear Thy ruling hand I see; Each blessing to my soul more dear, Because conferred by Thee. 4 In every joy that crowns my days, In every pain I bear, My heart shall find delight in praise, Or seek relief in prayer. 5 When gladness wings my favoured hour, Thy love my thoughts shall fill; Resigned when storms of sorrow lower, My soul shall meet Thy will. 6 My lifted eye, without a tear, The gathering storms shall see; My steadfast heart shall know no fear; That heart will rest on Thee.

O God, unseen yet ever near

Author: E. Osler Hymnal: CHRC1920 #219 (1920) Tune Title: BEDFORD Lyrics: 1 O God, unseen yet ever near, Thy presence may we feel; And thus inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. 2 Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy love, The streams that thro' the desert flow, The manna from above. 3 We come, obedient to Thy word, To feast on heavenly food; Our meat the Body of the Lord, Our drink His precious Blood. 4 Thus may we all Thy word obey, For we, O God, are Thine; And go rejoicing on our way, Renewed with strength divine.

There's a wideness in God's mercy

Author: F. W. Faber Hymnal: CHRC1920 #298 (1920) Tune Title: BEECHER Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy Like the wideness of the sea; There's a kindness in His justice Which is more than liberty. There is welcome for the sinner, And more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Saviour; There is healing in His blood. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows Are more felt than up in heaven; There is no place where earth's failings Have such kindly judgment given. There is plentiful redemption In the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members In the sorrows of the Head. 3 For the love of God is broader Than the measure of man's mind; And the heart of the Eternal Is most infinitely kind. If our love were but more simple, We should take Him at His word; And our lives would be all sunshine In the sweetness of the Lord. Topics: General Languages: English

Jesus, Thou Divine Companion

Author: H. van Dyke Hymnal: CHRC1920 #523 (1920) Tune Title: BEECHER Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thou Divine Companion, By Thy lowly human birth Thou hast come to join the workers, Burden bearers of the earth. Thou the carpenter of Nazareth, Toiling for Thy daily food, By Thy patience and Thy courage Thou hast taught us toil is good. 2 They who tread the path of labour Follow where Thy feet have trod; They who work without complaining Do the holy will of God. Thou, the peace that passeth knowledge, Dwellest in the daily strife; Thou, the Bread of heaven, art broken In the sacrament of life. 3 Every task, however simple, Sets the soul that does it free; Every deed of love and kindness Done to man is done to Thee. Jesus, Thou Divine Companion, Help us all to work our best, Bless us in our daily labour, Lead us to our Sabbath rest.

Lord, for tomorrow and its needs

Author: M. Xavier Hymnal: CHRC1920 #532 (1920) Tune Title: BELLEVILLE Lyrics: 1 Lord, for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray: Keep me, my God, from stain of sin, Just for to-day. 2 Help me to labour earnestly And duly pray; Let me be kind in word and deed, Father, to-day. 3 Let me be slow to do my will, Prompt to obey; Help me to sacrifice myself Gladly, to-day. 4 Let me no wrong or idle word Unthinking say; Set Thou a seal upon my lips Through all to-day. 5 Let me in season, Lord, be grave, In season gay: Let me be faithful to Thy grace, Dear Lord, to-day. 6 And if to-day this life of mine Should ebb away, Give me Thy Sacrament divine, Father, to-day. 7 So for tomorrow and its needs I do not pray: Still keep me, guide me, love me, Lord, Through each to-day.

Now from the altar of our hearts

Author: J. Mason Hymnal: CHRC1920 #20 (1920) Tune Title: BELMONT Lyrics: 1 Now from the altar of our hearts Let flames of love arise; Assist us, Lord, to offer up Our evening sacrifice. 2 Minutes and mercies multiplied Have made up all this day; Minutes came quick, but mercies were More swift, more free than they. 3 New time, new favours, and new joys Do a new song require; Till we shall praise Thee as we would, Accept our heart's desire.

O Father, all creating

Author: J. Ellerton Hymnal: CHRC1920 #249 (1920) Tune Title: BENTLEY Lyrics: 1 O Father, all creating, Whose wisdom, love, and power, First bound two lives together In Eden's primal hour, Today to these Thy children Thine earliest gifts renew, A home by Thee made happy, A love by Thee kept true. 2 O Saviour, Guest most bounteous Of old in Galilee, Vouchsafe to-day Thy presence With these who call on Thee; Their store of earthly gladness Transform to heavenly wine, And teach them, in the tasting, To know the gift is Thine. 3 O Spirit of the Father, Breathe on them from above, So mighty in Thy pureness, So tender in Thy love; That, guarded by Thy presence, From sin and strife kept free, Their lives may own Thy guidance, Their hearts be ruled by Thee. 4 Except Thou build it, Father, The house is built in vain; Except Thou, Saviour, bless it, The joy will turn to pain; But naught can break the marriage Of hearts in Thee made one, And love Thy Spirit hallows Is endless love begun.

Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: S. Adams Hymnal: CHRC1920 #338 (1920) Tune Title: BETHANY Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en tho' it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Though like a wanderer, Weary and lone, Darkness comes over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3 There let my way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Altars I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 5 Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to Thee.

O little town of Bethlehem!

Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: CHRC1920 #57 (1920) Tune Title: BETHLEHEM Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem! How still we see thee lie; Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. 2 For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth. 3 How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive Him still, The dear Christ enters in. 4 O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin, and enter in, Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christian angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel!
