O Jesu, Thou art standing
Author: Bishop W. W. How Meter: 7.6 D Appears in 669 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jesu, Thou art standing
Outside the fast-closed door,
In lowly patience waiting
To pass the threshold o'er:
Shame on us, Christian brothers,
His Name and sign who bear;
Oh, shame, thrice shame upon us,
To keep him standing there!
2 O Jesu, Thou art knocking:
And lo! that hand is scarred,
And thorns Thy brow encircle,
And tears Thy face have marred:
O love that passeth knowledge
So patiently to wait!
O sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate!
3 O Jesu, Thou art pleading
In accents meek and low:
"I died for you, My children,
And will ye treat Me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
We open now the door:
Dear Saviour, enter, enter,
And leave us nevermore.
Amen. Topics: Parochial Missions Used With Tune: [O Jesu, Thou art standng]
O Jesu, Thou art standing
Glory be to Jesus
Author: E. Caswall Meter: 6.5 D Appears in 208 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus,
Who in bitter pains
Poured for me the lifeblood
From His sacred veins!
Grace and life eternal
In that blood I find,
Blest be His compassion,
Infinitely kind!
2 Blest through endless ages
Be the precious stream,
Which from sin and sorrow
Does the world redeem!
Abel’s blood for vengeance
Pleaded to the skies;
But the blood of Jesus
For our pardon cries.
3 Oft as earth exulting
Wafts its praise on high,
Angel hosts, rejoicing,
Make their glad reply.
Lift ye then your voices;
Swell the mighty flood;
Louder still and louder,
Praise the precious Blood!
Amen. Topics: Parochial Missions; Praise Used With Tune: [Glory be to Jesus]

Thou art gone up on high
Author: Mrs. Emma Toke Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art gone up on high
To mansions in the skies;
And round Thy throne unceasingly
The songs of praise arise:
But we are ling'ring here,
With sin and care opprest;
Lord, send thy promised Comforter,
And lead us to Thy rest.
2 Thou art gone up on high;
But Thou didst first come down,
Through earth's most bitter agony,
To pass unto Thy crown;
And girt with griefs and fears
Our onward course must be;
But only let that path of tears
Lead us at last to Thee.
3 Thou art gone up on high;
But Thou shalt come again,
With all the bright ones of the sky
Attendant in Thy train.
Lord, by Thy saving power
So make us live and die,
That we may stand, in that dread hour
At Thy right hand on high.
Amen. Topics: Ascensiontide; General Used With Tune: [Thou art gone up on high]

Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly dove
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,218 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Kindle a flame of sacred love
In these cold hearts of ours.
2 See how we grovel here below,
Fond of these earthly toys:
Our souls, how heavily they go,
To reach eternal joys.
3 In vain we tune our lifeless songs,
In vain we strive to rise:
Hosannas languish on our tongues,
And our devotion dies.
5 Come, Holy Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With all Thy quickening powers;
Come, shed abroad a Saviour's love,
And that shall kindle ours.
Amen. Topics: General; Whitsuntide Used With Tune: [Come, Holy Spirt, heavenly dove]

Hark! hark, my soul, Angelic songs
Author: Rev. F. W. Faber Meter: Irregular Appears in 604 hymnals First Line: Hark! hark, my soul, Angelic songs are swelling Lyrics: 1 Hark! hark, my soul! Angelic songs are swelling
O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore;
How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling
Of that new life when sin shall be no more!
Angels of Jesus, Angels of light,
Singing to welcome
The pilgrims of the night,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims,
the pilgrims of the night.
2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
"Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;"
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the Gospel leads us home.
Angels of Jesus, Angels of light,
Singing to welcome
The pilgrims of the night,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims,
the pilgrims of the night.
3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee.
Singing to welcome
The pilgrims of the night,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims,
the pilgrims of the night.
4 Rest comes at length, though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past;
Faith's journeys end in welcome to the weary,
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last.
Singing to welcome
The pilgrims of the night,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims,
the pilgrims of the night.
5 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches keeping;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above;
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.
Singing to welcome
The pilgrims of the night,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims,
the pilgrims of the night.

O mother dear, Jerusalem
Author: D. Dickson Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 622 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to Thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
2 O happy harbor of God's saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow can be found,
Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.
3 No murky cloud o'er shadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun;
For God Himself give light.
4 O sweet home, Jerusalem,
Thy joys when shall I see?
The King that sitteth on thy throne
In his felicity?
5 Thy gardens and thy goodly walks
Continually are green,
Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
6 Right through thy streets, with silver sound,
The living waters flow,
And on the banks, on either side
The trees of life doth grow.
7 Those trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring:
There evermore the angels sit
And evermore do sing.
8 Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in Thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see!
Amen. Topics: General; Processional; Church Triumphant Used With Tune: [O mother dear, Jerusalem]

The King of love my Shepherd is
Author: Sir H. W. Baker Meter: 8.7 Appears in 677 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His
And He is mine for ever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And, where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And oh, the transport of delight
From Thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so, through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never:
Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise
Within Thy house forever.

As ye journey sweetly sing!
Sing your SavioUr's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways!

In the way the fathers trod:
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 Lift your eyes, ye sons of light!
Sion's city is in sight:
There our endless home shall be,
There our Lord we soon shall see.
4 Fear not, brethren; joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.

Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee.

The vigor of thy youth.

Whose loving-kindness crowns thy days!
