O Love divine, that stooped to share

Author: O. W. Holmes Hymnal: CHRC1920 #473 (1920) Tune Title: ABENDS Lyrics: 1 O Love divine, that stooped to share Our sharpest pang, our bitt'rest tear! On Thee we cast each earth-born care; We smile at pain while Thou art near. 2 Though long the weary way we tread, And sorrow crown each lingering year, No path we shun, no darkness dread, Our hearts still whispering, Thou art near. 3 When drooping pleasure turns to grief, And trembling faith is changed to fear. The murmuring wind, the quivering leaf, Shall softly tell us, Thou art near. 4 On Thee we rest our burdening woe, O Love divine, for ever dear! Content to suffer while we know, Living and dying, Thou art near. Topics: General Languages: English

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Hymnal: CHRC1920 #480 (1920) Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word! What more can He say than to you He hath said, You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled, You who unto Jesus for refuge have fled? 2 Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! I, I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by My righteous omnipotent hand. 3 When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow; For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume, and Thy gold to refine. 5 The soul that to Jesus hath fled for repose, I will not, I will not desert to His foes; That soul, though all hell shall endeavour to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake.

Jesus, Thy boundless love to me

Author: J. Wesley; P. Gerhardt Hymnal: CHRC1920 #470 (1920) Tune Title: ADORO TE Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy boundless love to me No thought can reach, no tongue declare; O knit my thankful heart to Thee, And reign without a rival there! Thine wholly, thine alone, I am; Be Thou alone my constant flame. 2 O grant that nothing in my soul May dwell, but Thy pure love alone! O may Thy love possess me whole, My joy, my treasure, and my crown! Strange flames far from my heart remove; May every act, word, thought, be love! 3 O love, how cheering is thy ray! All pain before thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away, Where'er thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee! 4 Still let Thy love point out my way! What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me, lest I go astray; Direct my word, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice, and know that love is near. 5 In suffering, be Thy love my peace; In weakness, be Thy love my power; And when the storms of life shall cease, Jesus, in that dark, final hour Of death, be Thou my Guide and Friend, That I may love Thee without end.

God is working His purpose out

Author: A. C. Ainger Hymnal: CHRC1920 #275 (1920) Tune Title: 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.

A little kingdom I possess

Author: L. M. Alcott Hymnal: CHRC1920 #628 (1920) Tune Title: 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

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: H. Alford Hymnal: CHRC1920 #391 (1920) Tune Title: ALFORD Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished! all is finished, Their fight with deal and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore! What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign! Appear, Desire of nations! Thine exiles long for home: Show in the heav'ns Thy promised sign! Thou Prince and Saviour, come! Topics: General Languages: English

Author: C. Winkworth; P. Gerhardt Hymnal: CHRC1920 #654 (1920) Tune Title: [All my heart this night rejoices] Lyrics: 1 All my heart this night rejoices, As I hear, Far and near Sweetest angel voices: "Christ is born," their choirs are singing, Till the air Everywhere Now with joy is ringing. 2 Hark! a voice from yonder manger, Soft and sweet, Doth entreat, "Flee from woe and danger! Brethren, come! from all that grieves you, You are freed; All you need I will surely give you. 3 Come, then, let us hasten yonder! Here let all, Great and small, Kneel in awe and wonder! Love Him Who with love is yearning! Hail the Star, That from far Bright with hope is burning! 4 Thee, dear Lord, with heed I'll cherish, Live to Thee, And with Thee Dying, shall not perish; But shall live with Thee for ever, Far on high, In the joy That can alter never.

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: F. E. Cox; H. T. Schenck Hymnal: CHRC1920 #173 (1920) Tune Title: ALL SAINTS Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing, These, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark they sing, Praising loud their heav'nly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er touched by time's rude hand? Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng: These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph by the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These, like priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night they serve Him still. Now in God's most holy place, Blest they stand before His face. Topics: Holy Days All Saints Languages: English
