"Jehovah Nissi"

Author: Thomas J. Potter Hymnal: LD1890 #343 (1890) First Line: Brightly gleams our banner Refrain First Line: Brightly gleams our banner Lyrics: 1 Brightly gleams our banner, Pointing to the sky, Waving wanderers onward To their home on high. Journeying o'er the desert, Gladly thus we pray, And with hearts united, Take our heavenward way. Refrain: Brightly gleams our banner, Pointing to the sky, Waving wand'rers onward To their home on high. 2 Jesus, Lord and Master, At thy sacred feet, Here with hearts rejoicing See thy children meet; Often have we left thee, Often gone astray; Keep us, mighty Saviour, In the narrow way. [Refrain] 3 All our days direct us In the way we go; Lead us on victorious Over every foe: Bid thine angels shield us When the storm-clouds lower; Pardon thou and save us In the last dread hour.

A Christian Child

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: LD1890 #493 (1890) First Line: By cool Siloam's shady rill Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill How fair the lily grows! How sweet the breath beneath the hill Of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child whose early feet The paths of peace have trod; Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away. 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age May shake the soul with sorrow's power And stormy passion's rage. 5 O thou, whose infant feet were found Within thy Father's shrine, Whose years, with changeless virtue crowned, Were all alike divine! 6 Dependent on thy bounteous breath, We seek thy grace alone In childhood, manhood, age and death, To keep us still thine own.

Faith

Author: John Newton Hymnal: LD1890 #419 (1890) First Line: By faith in Christ I walk with God Lyrics: 1 By faith in Christ I walk with God, With heaven, my journey's end, in view; Supported by his staff and rod, My road is safe and pleasant too. 2 Though snares and dangers throng my path, And earth and hell my course withstand, I triumph over all by faith, Guarded by his almighty hand. 3 The wilderness affords no food, But God for my support prepares, Provides me every needful good, And frees my soul from wants and cares. 4 With him sweet converse I maintain; Great as he is, I dare be free; I tell him all my grief and pain, And he reveals his love to me.

Psalm 91

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: LD1890 #365 (1890) First Line: Call Jehovah thy salvation Lyrics: 1 Call Jehovah thy salvation, Rest beneath the Almighty's shade; In his secret habitation Dwell, and never be dismayed: There is no tumult can alarm thee, Thou shalt dread no hidden snare; Guilt nor violence can harm thee, In eternal safeguard there. 2 From the sword, at noon-day wasting, From the noisome pestilence; In the depth of midnight, blasting, God shall be thy sure defence: Fear not thou the deadly quiver, When a thousand feel the blow; Mercy shall thy soul deliver, Though ten thousand be laid low. 3 Since, with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of his protection He will shield thee from above; Thou shalt call on him in trouble, He will hearken, he will save; Here, for grief reward thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave.

Angels' music

Author: Edwin H. Sears Hymnal: LD1890 #141 (1890) First Line: Calm on the listening ear of night Lyrics: 1 Calm on the listening ear of night, Come heaven's melodious strains, Where wild Judea stretches far Her silver-mantled plains. Celestial choirs, from courts above, Shed sacred glories there, And angels, with their sparkling lyres, Make music on the air. 2 The answering hills of Palestine Send back the glad reply, And greet from all their holy heights The Dayspring from on high: O'er the blue depths of Galilee There comes a holier calm; And Sharon waves in solemn praise Her silent groves of palm. 3 "Glory to God!" the lofty strain The realms of ether fills; How sweeps the song of solemn joy O'er Judah's sacred hills! "Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring: "Peace on the earth; good-will to men, From heaven's eternal King."

Hanaford Hymnal: LD1890 #463 (1890) First Line: Cast thy bread upon the waters Lyrics: 1 Cast thy bread upon the waters, Thinking not 'tis thrown away; God himself saith, thou shalt gather It again some future day. 2 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Wildly though the billows roll, They but aid thee as thou toilest Truth to spread from pole to pole. 3 As the seed, by billows floated, To some distant island lone, So to human souls benighted, That thou flingest may be borne. 4 Cast thy bread upon the waters; Why wilt thou still doubting stand? Bounteous shall God send the harvest, If thou sow'st with liberal hand.
