I would not live alway: I ask not to stay

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #93 (1871) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway: I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er our way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway, thus fetter'd by sin, Temptation without, and corruption within: E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of salvation with penitent tears. 3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb: Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom; There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God; Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode? Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns; 5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren, transported, to greet: While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #398 (1871) Meter: 11.11.11.11 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? 2 Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismay'd, 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.

My faith looks up to Thee

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #237 (1871) Meter: 6.4.6.4 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine! Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away; O let me from this day Be wholly Thine. 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day; Wipe sorrow's tears away; Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll, Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransom'd soul.

For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay-- Gifts of Thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in Thy word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth! hear thy maker's voice, The great Redeemer own, Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship Him alone; Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power He comes, O may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band; A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

Onward, Christian soldiers

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #232 (1871) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ the Royal Master Leads against the foe, Forward into battle, See, His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 2 At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee; On, then, Christian soldiers, On to victory. Hell's foundations quiver At the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 3 Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod; We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope, and doctrine, One in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 4 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain; Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 5 Onward, then, ye people, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph-song; Glory, laud, and honour, Unto Christ the King, This through countless ages Men and Angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Languages: English

In the hour of trial

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #443 (1871) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 In the hour of trial, Jesus, pray for me; Lest by base denial I depart from Thee; When Thou see'st me waver, With a look recall, Nor, for fear or favour, Suffer me to fall. 2 With forbidden pleasures Would this vain world charm; Or its sordid treasures Spread to work me harm; Bring to my remembrance Sad Gethsemane, Or, in darker semblance, Cross-crown'd Calvary. 3 Should Thy mercy send me sorrow, toil, and woe' Or should pain attend me On my path below; Grant that I may never Fail Thy hand to see; Grant that I may ever Cast my care on Thee. 4 When my last hour cometh, Fraught with strife and pain, When my dust returneth To the dust again; On thy truth relying, Through that mortal strife, Jesus take me, dying, To eternal life.
