A charge to keep I have

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: BWHT1899 #527 (1899) Lyrics: 1 A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify; A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky. 2 To serve the present age, My calling to fulfil; Oh, may it all my powers engage To do my Master's will. 3 Arm me with jealous care, As in Thy sight to live; And oh! Thy servant, Lord, prepare A strict account to give. 4 Help me to watch and pray, And on Thyself rely; Assured, if I my trust betray, I shall forever die. Amen.

A few more years shall roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: BWHT1899 #195 (1899) Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come; And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away. 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore; And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that calm day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 3 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that blest day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 4 A few more Sabbaths here, Shall cheer us on our way; And we shall reach the endless rest, Th'eternal Sabbath-day: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that sweet day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 5 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign; Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that sweet day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

A glory gilds the sacred page

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: BWHT1899 #310 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun: It gives a light to every age, It gives, but borrows none. 2 The hand that gave it still supplies The gracious light and heat; His truths upon the nations rise, They rise, but never set. 3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine, For such a bright display, As makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day. 4 My soul rejoices to pursue The steps of Him I love, Till glory break upon my view In brighter worlds above.

A mighty stronghold is our God

Author: Joel Swartz; Martin Luther Hymnal: BWHT1899 #343 (1899) Lyrics: 1 A mighty stronghold is our God, A sure defence and weapon; He helps us free from every need Which hath us now o'er taken. The old angry foe Now means us deadly woe; Deep guile and great might Are his dread arms in fight,-- On earth is not His equal. 2 In our own strength can naught be done-- Our loss were soon effected; There fights for us the Proper One, By God himself elected. Ask you who frees us? It is Christ Jesus-- The Lord Sabaoth, There is no other God; He'll hold the field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All waiting to devour us; We'll still succeed, so God hath willed,-- They cannot overpower us: The Prince of this world To hell shall be hurled; He seeks to alarm, But shall do us no harm; The smallest word can fell Him. 4 The Word they still must let remain, And for that have no merit; For He is with us on the plain, By His good gifts and Spirit: Destroy they our life, Goods, fame, child and wife? Let all pass amain, They still no conquest gain, For ours is still the kingdom. Amen.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: BWHT1899 #16 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with Thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn,but abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour: What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me. 4 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

According to Thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: BWHT1899 #324 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice! I must remember Thee:-- 5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, And all Thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #242 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker, died For man the creature's sin! 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears; Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. 5 But drops of tears can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe; Here, Lord, I give myself away, 'Tis all that I can do.

The people of the Hebrews With palms before Thee went, Our praise and prayer and anthems Before Thee we present. 3 To Thee before Thy passion They sang their hymns of praise; To Thee now high exalted Our melody we raise. Thou didst accept their praises; Accept the prayers we bring, Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King. Amen.
