Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: Sarah Flower Adams Hymnal: ELHW1908 #510 (1908) Person Name: Sarah Flower Adams Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! E'en though 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 the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; yet in my dreams I'd be, Nearer, my God, to Thee; Nearer to Thee! 3 There let the 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 Bethel 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!

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: ELHW1908 #173 (1908) Person Name: Joseph 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 walks He shall attend And all my midnight hours defend. 2 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.

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: ELHW1908 #369a (1908) Person Name: Joseph 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 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When in the slippery paths of youth With heedless steps I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A grateful song I'll raise; But oh! eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise.

God, who madest earth and heaven

Author: Heinrich Alberti; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #293 (1908) Person Name: Heinrich Alberti Lyrics: 1 God, who madest earth and heaven, Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Who the day and night hast given, Sun and moon and starry host, All things wake at Thy command, Held in being by Thy hand. 2 God, I thank Thee, in Thy keeping, Safely have I slumbered here; Thou hast gaurded me while sleeping, From all danger, pain, and fear: And the cunning of my foe Hath not wrought my overthrow. 3 Let the night of sin that shrouded All my life, with this depart; Shine on me with beams unclouded: Jesus in Thy loving heart Are my help and hope alone, For the evil I have done. 4 Help me as the morn is breaking, In the spirit to arise, So from careless sloth awaking, That wheno'er the aged skies Shall the morn of doom appear, I may see it free from fear. 5 Lead me, and forsake me never, Guide my wand'rings by Thy Word: As Thou has been, be Thou ever My defense, my refuge, Lord. Never safe except with Thee, Thou my faithful Guardian be! 6 O my God, I now commend me Wholly to Thy mighty hand: All the powers that Thou dost lend me Let me use at Thy command: Thou my boast, my strength divine, Keep me with Thee, I am Thine. 7 Thus afresh with each new morning Save me from the power of sin, Hourly let me feel Thy warning Ruling, prompting all within, Till my final rest be come, And Thine angel bear me home.

Cast me not in wrath away

Author: Johann Georg Albinus; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett Hymnal: ELHW1908 #235 (1908) Person Name: Johann Georg Albinus Lyrics: 1 Cast me not in wrath away, Stay Thy hot displeasure! God of grace, why wilt Thou slay? Mete not with just measure! I am frail: O, prevail Thou for me, atone me, Lamb of God, and own me. 2 In the pit who thinks of Thee? Who will there adore Thee? In Thy mercy save Thou me! That, for aye, before Thee, I may raise: Grateful praise For the grace that spared me, When sin death prepared me. 3 Father! let me taste Thy love, And Thy grace, dear Savior; Blessed Comforter above, Hallow my behavior: Be Thou mine: And I Thine With the oil of gladness Soothe Thou all my sadness. 4 Praise, O Father, be for aye Thine on earth, in heaven; And like praises be alway, Savior, to Thee given. Holy Dove, God of love, Thou hast heard;--I bless Thee! Praise for aye address Thee. Topics: The Catechism Repentance Languages: English Tune Title: NASSAU (Straf mich nicht in deinem Zorn)

Hark! a voice saith, all are mortal

Author: Johann Georg Albinus; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: ELHW1908 #429 (1908) Person Name: Johann Georg Albinus Lyrics: 1 Hark! a voice saith, all are mortal, Yea, all flesh must fade as grass, Only through a death-rent portal To a better world ye pass; Dust to dust must sink inglorious, Ere this body rise victorious To the realms of life and light, Won for saints thro' Jesus' might. 2 Therefore, when my Father chooses, Willingly my life I'll yield; He but gains, nay never loses, Who with Jesus quits the field. For in my Redeemer's merit Peace hath found my troubled spirit, And in death my comfort is Jesus' death--sweet comfort this! 3 Jesus died for me, O hear it! And His death is all my gain; Shall I then, yet wav'ring, fear it, Since with Christ I rise again? Joyfully I'll quit earth's sadness For the beauteous heaven of gladness; Where I shall forevermore See the Triune, and adore! 4 There is life, life never ending, Where so many saints are gone, Where in light the thousands blending Worship God before the throne. Seraphim there flit before us, Swelling heaven with august chorus: "Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord! God Triune, for aye adored!" 5 Worthies, there, of sacred story, Prophets, patriarchs, are met; There apostles too in glory Fill twelve thrones by Jesus set; All the saints that have ascended Age on age, through time extended, There, in blissful concert, sing Hallelujahs to their King. 6 O Jerusalem, how golden Dost thou shine, thou city blest! Sweetly thy near tones embolden My winged soul to seek my rest. O the bliss that there surprises! Lo, the sun of morn now rises, And the breaking day I see, That shall never end for me! 7 Yea, I see what here was told me, See that wondrous glory shine, Feel the spotless robes enfold me, Know a golden crown is mine; Thus I stand and look before me To the throne that rises o'er me, Gazing on that joy for aye, That shall never pass away!

Souls in heathen darkness lying

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: ELHW1908 #489 (1908) Person Name: Cecil F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 Souls in heathen darkness lying, Where no light has broken through, Souls that Jesus bought by dying, Whom His soul in travail knew; Thousand voices, thousands voices Call us, o'er the waters blue. 2 Christians, hearken! None has taught them Of His love so deep and dear; Of the precious price that bought them; Of the nail, the thorn, the spear; Ye who know Him, Guide them from their darkness drear. 3 Haste, oh, haste, and spread the tidings, Wide to earth's remotest strand; Let no brother's bitter chidings Rise against us, when we stand In the Judgment, From some far, forgotten land. 4 Lo! the hills for harvest whiten, All along each distant shore; Seaward far the islands brighten; Light of nations! lead us o'er; When we seek them, Let Thy Spirit go before.

Come,ye thankful people, come

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: ELHW1908 #142 (1908) Person Name: Henry Alford Lyrics: 1 Come, ye thankful people, come, Raise the song of harvest home; All is safely gathered in, Ere the winter storms begin; God, our Maker, doth provide That our wants are all supplied; Come to God's own temple, come; Raise the song of harvest home. 2 We ourselves are God's own field, Fruit unto His praise to yield; Wheat and tares together sown Unto joy or sorrow grown; First the blade and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear; Lord of harvest, grant that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come, And shall take the harvest home; From His field shall purge away All that doth offend that day, Give his angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast; But the fruitful ears to store In His garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord! quickly come, To Thy final harvest home; Gather Thou Thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin, There, forever purified, In Thy presence to abide; Come, with all Thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest home.

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: ELHW1908 #513 (1908) Person Name: Henry 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 death 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 Oh, 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 heavens Thy promised sign! Thou Prince and Savior, come!
