Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: S. Adams Hymnal: CHRC1920 #338 (1920) Person Name: S. Adams Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en tho' it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Though like a wanderer, Weary and lone, Darkness comes over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 3 There let my way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 4 Then with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Altars I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 5 Or if on joyful wing, Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to Thee.

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: J. Addison Hymnal: CHRC1920 #421 (1920) Person Name: J. Addison Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 O how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravish'd heart? But Thou canst read it there. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A joyful song I'll raise; But O eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise!

The spacious firmament on high

Author: J. Addison Hymnal: CHRC1920 #438 (1920) Person Name: J. Addison Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun, from day to day, Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to ev'ry land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though no real voice nor sound Amidst their radiant orbs be found; In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine, "The Hand that made us is divine."

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: J. Addison Hymnal: CHRC1920 #467 (1920) Person Name: J. Addison Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noon-day walk He shall attend, And all my mid-night hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wandering steps He leads, Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

God is working His purpose out

Author: A. C. Ainger Hymnal: CHRC1920 #275 (1920) Person Name: A. C. Ainger Lyrics: 1 God is working His purpose out, as year succeeds to year: God is working His purpose out, and the time is drawing near-- Nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost East to utmost West, where'er man's foot hath trod, By the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God; Give ear to Me, ye continents--- ye isles, give ear to Me, That the earth shall be filled with the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea. 3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase The brotherhood of all mankind-- the reign of the Prince of Peace? What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea. 4 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, That the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world: Fight we the fight with sorrow and sin to set their captives free, That the earth shall be filled with the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea. 5 All we can do is nothing worth, unless God blesses the deed; Vainly we hope for the harvest tide, till God gives life to the seed; Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time shall surely be, When the earth shall be filled with the glory of God, as the waters cover the sea.

God of our fathers, unto Thee

Author: A. C. Ainger Hymnal: CHRC1920 #573 (1920) Person Name: A. C. Ainger Lyrics: 1 God of our fathers, unto Thee Our fathers cried in danger's hour, And then Thou gavest them to see The acts of Thine Almighty power. They cried to Thee, and Thou didst hear; They called on Thee and Thou didst save; And we, their sons, today draw near Thy Name to praise, Thy help to crave Refrain: Lord God of Hosts, uplift Thine hand, Protect and bless our Fatherland. 2 Thine is the Majesty, O Lord, And Thine dominion over all; When Thou commandest, at Thy word Great kings and nations rise or fall. For eastern realms, for western coasts, For islands wash'd by many a sea, The praise be given, O God of Hosts, Not unto us but unto Thee. [Refrain] 3 If in Thy grace Thou should'st allow Our fame to wax thro' coming days, Still grant us humbly, then as now, Thy help to crave, Thy Name to praise. Not all alike in speech or birth, Alike we bow before Thy throne; Our fatherland throughout the earth Our Father's noble acts we own.

A little kingdom I possess

Author: L. M. Alcott Hymnal: CHRC1920 #628 (1920) Person Name: L. M. Alcott Lyrics: 1 A little kingdom I posses, Where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard I find the task Of governing it well: For passion tempts and troubles me, A wayward will misleads, And selfishness its shadow casts On all my words and deeds. 2 How can I learn to rule myself, To be the child I should, Honest and brave, nor ever tire Of trying to be good? How can I keep a sunny soul To shine along life's way? How can I tune my little heart To sweetly sing all day? 3 Dear Father, help me with the love That casteth out my fear; Teach me to lean on Thee, and feel That Thou art very near: That no temptation is unseen, No childish grief too small, Since Thou, with patience infinite, Dost soothe and comfort all. 4 I do not ask for any crown But that which all may win: Nor try to conquer any world Except the one within. Be Thou my guide until I find Led by a tender hand, Thy happy kingdom in myself, And dare to take command. Topics: Youth and School Life Languages: English Tune Title: ALCOTT

When wounded sore the stricken soul

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: CHRC1920 #89 (1920) Person Name: C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore the stricken soul Lies bleeding and unbound, One only hand, a pierced hand, Can heal the sinner's wound. 2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only heart, a broken heart, Can feel the sinner's woe. 3 When penitence has wept in vain, Over some foul dark spot, One only stream, a stream of blood, Can wash away the blot. 4 'T is Jesus' blood that washes white, His hand that brings relief, His heart that's touched with all our joys, And feeleth for our grief. 5 Lift up Thy bleeding hand, O Lord; Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin, But in Thy wounded side.

His are the thousand sparkling rills

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: CHRC1920 #95 (1920) Person Name: C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 His are the thousand sparkling rills That from a thousand fountains burst; And fill with music all the hills: And yet He saith "I thirst." 2 All fiery pangs on battlefields, On fever beds where sick men toss, Are in that human cry He yields To anguish on the cross. 3 But more than pains that racked Him then Was the deep longing thirst divine That thirsted for the souls of men: Dear Lord! and one was mine. 4 O Love most patient, give me grace; Make all my soul athirst for Thee; That parched dry lip, that fading face, That thirst, were all for me.

He is risen, He is risen

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: CHRC1920 #123 (1920) Person Name: C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 He is risen, He is risen; Tell it out with joyful voice: He has burst His three days' prison; Let the whole wide earth rejoice: Death is conquer'd, man is free, Christ has won the victory. 2 Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted, With glad smile and radiant brow: Lent's long shadows have departed; All His woes are over now, And the Passion that He bore: Sin and pain can vex no more. 3 Come, with high and holy hymning, Chant our Lord's triumphant lay; Not one darksome cloud is dimming Yonder glorious morning ray, Breaking o'er the purple East, Symbol of our Easter feast. 4 He is risen, He is risen: He hath opened heaven's gate: We are free from sin's dark prison, Risen to a holier state; And a brighter Easter beam On our longing eyes shall stream.
