A hymn of glory let us sing

Author: The Venerable Bede, 673-735; Elizabeth R. Charles Hymnal: ELHW1908 #94 (1908) Tune Title: BOWEN Lyrics: 1 A hymn of glory let us sing; New hymns throughout the world shall ring; By a new way none ever trod, Christ mounteth to the throne of God. 2 May our affections thither tend, And thither constantly ascend, Where, seated on the Father's throne, Thee, reigning in the heav'ns, we own! 3 Be Thou our present joy, O Lord! Who wilt be ever our reward: And as the countless ages flee, May all our glory be in Thee! Topics: The Church Year Ascension; Ascension Day Languages: English

The man is ever blessed

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: ELHW1908 #386 (1908) Tune Title: BOYLE Lyrics: 1 That man is ever blest Who shuns the sinner' ways; Amongst their councils never stands, Nor takes a scorner's place: 2 But makes the law of God Hid study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day And watches of the night; 3 He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root: Fresh as the leaf his name shall live, His works are heavenly fruit. 4 Not so th' ungodly race: They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff Before the driving wind. 5 How will they bear to stand Before that judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? 6 He knows and He approves The way the righteous go: But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow.

Thy table I approach

Author: Gerhard Walther Molanus; Anon. Hymnal: ELHW1908 #270 (1908) Tune Title: BOYLSTON Lyrics: 1 Thy Table I approach; Dear Savior, hear my pray'r, O let no unrepented sin Prove hurtful to me there. 2 Lo, I confess my sins, And mourn their wretched bands: A contrite heart is ever wont To find grace at Thy hands. 3 Thy body and Thy blood, Once slain and shed for me, Are taken at Thy table here— O wondrous mystery! 4 Here I with mouth and soul, Incomprehensibly, Shall eat the precious flesh of Christ In blest reality. 5 Search not how this takes place, Nor whether it can be; God can accomplish vastly more Than seemeth plain to thee. 6 Vouchsafe, O blessed Lord, That earth and hell combined, May ne'er about this Sacrament A doubt raise in my mind. 7 And may I never fail, To thank Thee day and night, For Thy true body and true blood, O God, my peace and light.

O let triumphant faith dispel

Hymnal: ELHW1908 #213 (1908) Tune Title: BRADFORD (Messiah) Lyrics: 1 O let triumphant faith dispel The fears of guilt and woe! If God be for us, God the Lord, Who, who shall be our foe? 2 He who His only Son gave up To death, that we might live, Shall He not all things freely grant, That boundless love can give? 3 Who now His people shall accuse? 'Tis God hath justified: Who now His people shall condemn? The Lamb of God hath died. 4 And He who died hath risen again, Triumphant, from the grave; At God's right hand for us He pleads, Omnipotent to save.

Jesus! great and wondrous Star

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D.; Edmann Neumeister Hymnal: ELHW1908 #52b (1908) Tune Title: BRANDENBURG (Jesus meine Zuversicht) Lyrics: 1 Jesus! great and wondrous Star, Both from Jacob's line and heaven, Festive gifts from near and far On this day to Thee are given: Oh! accept most graciously What I humbly offer Thee. 2 Saba bringeth gold to Thee; Lord, I give what thou hast given: gold of faith receive from me-- Precious gold that counts in heaven! Prove it, purge it free from dross In the furnace of the cross. 3 Take the frankincense of prayer; May it prove a sweet oblation! Heart and lips shall everywhere Strive to meet Thy approbation; Hear and heed my prayer, and then Seal it with Thy "Yea: Amen!" 4 Take contrition, bitter myrrh; O how sorely my sins grieve me! Pardon, healing, peace restore; Thou art true, and wilt relieve me. Lord, I praise Thee! and believe Thou my offering dost receive. Topics: The Church Epiphany Languages: English

On His pastures, so delightful, Every lamb may feed and live, Though the Pharisees grow spiteful; Even they this witness give: Jesus sinner doth receive! 5 Jesus sinners will receive!

In Thy heart and hands, my God

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Joseph Winckler Hymnal: ELHW1908 #419 (1908) Tune Title: BRANDENBURG (Jesus meine Zuversicht) Lyrics: 1 In Thy heart and hands, my God, Calmly now my soul reposes, Waiting patiently the end That Thy aim in all discloses; Stripped of self, how sweet my rest On my loving Father's breast. 2 And my soul repineth not, Well content whate'er befall it; Murmurs, wishes of self-will, Doomed to death, no more enthrall it; Restless thoughts, that fret and crave, Slumber in my Savior's grave. 3 And my soul doth cease from cares, From the thoughts that sore perplex us, That destroy the inner peace, For like sharpest thorns they vex us; He who made her careth well, It but seeks in peace to dwell. 4 And my soul despaireth not, Loves Him most when sad and lonely; Grief that wrings and breaks the heart Comes to those who hate Him only; They who love Him still possess Comfort in their worst distress. 5 And my soul complaineth not, For no pain or fears dismay it, Still she clings to God in faith, Trusts Him, though He seem to slay it. 'T is when flesh and blood repine, Sun of joy, Thou canst not shine. 6 Thus my soul is still and waits, Every murmuring word she hushes, Conqu'ring thus the pain or wrong That the restless spirit crushes; Like a silent ocean, bright With its Maker's praise and light.

To Thee, O Lord, with dawning light

Author: George Washington Doane Hymnal: ELHW1908 #297 (1908) Tune Title: BRATTLE STREET Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Lord, with dawning light, My grateful voice I'll raise, Thy mighty pow'r to celebrate, Thy holy name to praise: For Thou, in helpless hour of night, Hast guard kept round my bed, And now again from peaceful sleep Thou liftest up my head. 2 Grant me, O Lord, Thy quick'ning grace Through this and every day, That, guided and upheld by Thee, My feet may never stray. Increase, I pray, my faith and hope, Increase my zeal and love; And fix my hearts affections all On Christ and things above. 3 And when, life's labors o'er, I sink To slumber in the grave, In death's dark vale be Thou my trust To succor and to save; That so, through Him who bled and died, And rose again for me, The grave and gate of death may prove A passage home to Thee.
