Lead, kindly Light! amid th'encircling gloom

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #212 (1898) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light! amid th'encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on; Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now, Lead Thou me on. I loved the garish day, and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power has blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Jerusalem, thou city fair and high

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #265 (1898) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly, It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its Fountain, And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt you come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and power, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead her with guidance tender To heaven, her fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me! How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 O what array, O what the glorious host Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones, on earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath sent to meet me,-- As in the far off years Their words oft came to greet me In yonder land of tears. 5 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song.

Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #157 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 Come unto me, when shadows darkly gather, When the sad heart is weary and distressed, Seeking for comfort from your heavenly Father, Come unto me, and I will give you rest. 2 Ye who have mourned when tender flowers were taken, When the ripe fruit fell richly to the ground, When the loved slept, in brighter homes to waken, Where their pale brows with spirit-wreaths are crowned. 3 Large are the mansions in thy Father’s dwelling, Glad are the homes that sorrows never dim; Sweet are the harps in holy music swelling, Soft are the tones which raise the heavenly hymn. 4 There like an Eden blossoming in gladness, Bloom the fair flowers the earth too rudely pressed: Come unto me, all ye who droop in sadness, Come unto me, and I will give you rest.

O perfect Love, all human thought transcending

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #158 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 O perfect Love, all human thought transcending, Lowly we kneel in prayer before Thy throne, That theirs may be the love that knows no ending, Whom Thou forevermore doth join in one. 2 O perfect Life, be Thou their full assurance Of tender charity and steadfast faith, Of patient hope, and quiet, brave endurance, With childlike trust that fears nor pain nor death. 3 Grant them the joy which brightens earthly sorrow; Grant them the peace which calms all earthly strife, And to life’s day the glorious unknown morrow That dawns upon eternal love and life.

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #162 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish, Come to the mercy-seat, fervently kneel; Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the desolate, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure: Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying-- Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come ever knowing: Earth has no sorrow but heaven can remove.

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #266 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall; Angels adore Him in slumber reclining, Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all. 2 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom and offerings divine, Gems of the mountain and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, or gold from the mine? Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gifts would His favor secure; Richer by far is the heart's adoration, Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #267 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; Weep o’er the erring ones, lift up the fallen, Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save. Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting, Waiting the penitent child to receive; Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently: He will forgive, if they only believe. 2 Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter, Hope that lies buried, God's grace can restore: Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness, Chords that were broken will vibrate once more. Rescue the perishing, duty demands it; Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide. Back to the narrow way patiently win them, Tell the poor wanderer a Saviour has died.

O blessed house, that cheerfully receiveth

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #268 (1898) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 O blessed house, that cheerfully receiveth Thy visits, Jesus Christ, the soul's true friend; That, far beyond all other guests, believeth It must to Thee its warmest cheer extend; Where every heart to Thee is fondly turning, Where every eye for Thee with pleasure speaks, Where all to know Thy will are truly yearning, And every one to do it promptly seeks. 2 O blessed house, where man and wife, united In Thy true love, have both one heart and mind; Where both to Thy salvation are invited, And in Thy doctrine both contentment find; Where both, to Thee in truth for ever cleaving, In joy, in grief, make Thee their only stay, And fondly hope in Thee to be believing, Both in the good and in the evil day. 3 O blessed house, where little children tender Are laid upon Thy heart, with hands of prayer, Thou Friend of children, who wilt freely render To them more than a mother's loving care; Where round Thy feet they gather, to Thee clinging, And hear Thy loving voice most willingly, And in their songs, Thy hearty praises ringing, Rejoice in Thee, O blessed Lord, in Thee. 4 O blessed house, where faithful servants, knowing That all their works are done within Thy sight, In all their work with holy zeal are glowing To do alone what Thou esteemest right; As Thy true servants, in whom Thou delightest, In meekness willing, by that love constrained Which shows, in all its works, the least, the brightest, How in small things great faith may be maintained. 5 O blessed house, the joys of which Thou sharest, And never art forgot in scenes of joy; O blessed house, for whose sad wounds Thou carest, Where all the sick Thy healing power employ; Until at last the day's work fully ended, All finally in joyful rapture fly To that blest house to which Thou hast ascended, Unto the blessed Father's house on high.
