A charge to keep I have

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Hymnal: HAGA1895 #509 (1895) 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,-- O 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 O, 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 for ever die. Amen.

A few more years shall roll

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HAGA1895 #612 (1895) 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; O 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; O 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; O 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, The eternal Sabbath-day: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that sweet day; O 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 glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away. Amen.

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: Rev. Frederick H. Hedge; Martin Luther Hymnal: HAGA1895 #121 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right man on our side, The man of God's own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth His Name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, - We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever. Amen.

A parting hymn we sing

Author: Rev. Aaron R. Wolfe Hymnal: HAGA1895 #336 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A parting hymn we sing Around Thy table, Lord; Again our grateful tribute bring, Our solemn vows record. 2 Here have we seen Thy face, And felt your presence here; So may the savor of Thy grace In word and life appear. 3 The purchase of Thy blood, By sin no longer led, The path our dear Redeemer trod May we rejoicing tread. 4 In self-forgetting love Be our communion shown, Until we join the church above, And know as we are known.

A thousand years have come and gone

Author: Rev. Thomas T. Lynch Hymnal: HAGA1895 #175 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A thousand years have come and gone, And near a thousand more, Since happier light from heaven shone Than ever shone before; And in the hearts of old and young A joy most joyful stirred, That sent such news from tongue to tongue As ears had never heard. 2 Then angels on their starry way Felt bliss unfelt before, For news that men should be as they, To darkened earth they bore; So toiling men and spirits bright A first communion had, And in meek mercy's rising light Were each exceeding glad. 3 And we are glad, and we will sing, As in the days of yore; Come all, and hearts made ready bring, To welcome back once more The day when first on wintry earth A summer change began, And, dawning in a lowly birth, Uprose the Light of man. 4 For trouble such as men must bear From childhood to fourscore, He shared with us, that we might share His joy for evermore; And twice a thousand years of grief, Of conflict, and of sin, May tell how large the harvest sheaf His patient love shall win. Amen.

A voice by Jordan's shore

Author: Rev. Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: HAGA1895 #209 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A voice by Jordan's shore, A summons stern and clear: "Reform; be just, and sin no more: God's judgment draweth near!" 2 A voice by Galilee, A holier voice I hear: "Love God; thy neighbor love: for see God's mercy draweth near!" 3 O voice of Duty, still Speak forth: I hear with awe; In Thee I own the sovereign will, Obey the sovereign law. 4 Thy higher voice of Love, Yet speak thy word in me; Through duty let me upward move To thy pure liberty. Amen.

A voice upon the midnight air

Author: Rev. James Martineau Hymnal: HAGA1895 #224 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A voice upon the midnight air, Where Kedron's moonlit waters stray, Weeps forth in agony of prayer, "O Father, take this cup away." 2 Ah! Thou who sorrowest unto death, We conquer in Thy mortal fray; And earth for all her children saith, "O God, take not this cup away." 3 O Lord of sorrow, meekly die: Thou'lt heal or hallow all our woe; Thy Name refresh the mourner's sigh, Thy peace revive the faint and low. 4 Great Chief of faithful souls, arise: None else can lead the martyr-band, Who teach the brave how peril flies, When faith, unarmed, lifts up the hand. 5 O King of earth, the cross ascend; O'er climes and ages 'tis Thy throne: Where'er Thy fading eye may bend, The desert blooms, and is Thine own. 6 Thy parting blessing, Lord, we pray: Make but one fold below, above; And when we go the last lone way, O give the welcome of Thy love. Amen.

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: HAGA1895 #24 (1895) 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, O abide with me. 2. Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away, Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, 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, O abide with me. 4. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5. 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. Amen.

According to Thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: HAGA1895 #328 (1895)

Again, as evening's shadow falls

Author: Rev. Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: HAGA1895 #22 (1895) Lyrics: 1. Again, as evening's shadow falls, We gather in these hallowed walls; And vesper hymn and vesper prayer Rise mingling on the holy air. 2. May struggling hearts that seek release Here find the rest of God's own peace; And, strengthened here by hymn and prayer, Lay down the burden and the care. 3. O God, our Light, to Thee we bow; Within all shadows standest Thou; Give deeper calm than night can bring; Give sweeter songs than lips can sing. 4. Life's tumult we must meet again; We cannot at the shrine remain; But in the spirit's secret cell May hymn and prayer for ever dwell. Amen.
