A charge to keep I have
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: LHTC1918 #A376 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 fulfill;
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 charge to keep I have
A few more years shall roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: LHTC1918 #480 (1917) 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 suns shall set
O'er these dark hills of time;
And we shall be where suns are not,--
A far serener clime.
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that blest day;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood
And take my sins away.
3 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.
4 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 bright 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.

A glory gilds the sacred page
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: LHTC1918 #170 (1917) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic like the sun:
It gives a light to every age;
It gives, but borrows none.
2 The Hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat.
His truths upon the nations rise;
They rise, but never set.
3 Let everlasting thanks be Thine,
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.
4 My soul rejoices to pursue
The steps of Him I love,
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above.
Amen. Topics: The Word Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ETHELDREDA

A great and mighty wonder
Author: John Mason Neale; Germanus of Constantinople, d. 734 Hymnal: LHTC1918 #17 (1917) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder,
Our Christmas Festal bring;
On earth, a lowly Infant,
Behold the King of kings!
2 The Word is made incarnate,
Descending from on high;
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky.
3 And we with them triumphant,
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory,
And peace on earth to men!"
4 Since all He comes to ransom,
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethlehem,
The Saviour and the Lord!
5 All idol forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His scepter,
Our Lord and God for aye.

A hymn of glory let us sing
Author: Bede, d. 735; Elizabeth Rundle Charles Hymnal: LHTC1918 #122 (1917) Lyrics: 1. A hymn of glory let us sing;
New hymns throughout the world shall ring;
By a new way none ever trod
Christ mounteth to the throne of God.
2 May our affections thither tend,
And thither constantly ascend,
Where, seated on the Father's throne,
Thee, reigning in the heavens, we own!
3 Be Thou our present Joy, O Lord,
Who wilt be ever our Reward;
And as the countless ages flee,
May all our glory be in Thee!
Amen.

A hymn of glory let us sing
A mighty Fortress is our God
Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: LHTC1918 #195 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7.5.5.5.6.7 Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God,
A trusty Shield and Weapon;
He helps us free from every need
That hath us now o'ertaken.
The old bitter foe
Means us deadly woe;
Deep guile and great might
Are his dread arms in fight:
On earth is not his equal.
2 With might of ours can naught be done,
Soon were our loss effected;
But for us fights the Valiant One
Whom God Himself elected.
Ask ye, Who is this?
Jesus Christ it is,
Of Sabaoth Lord,
And there's none other God;
He holds the field for eve.
3 Though devils all the world should fill,
All watching to devour us,
We tremble not, we fear no ill,
They cannot overpower us.
This world's prince may still
Scowl fierce as he will;
He can harm us none;
He's judge, the deed is done,
One little word o'erthrows him.
4 The Word they still shall let remain,
Nor any thanks have for it;
He's by our side upon the plain
With His good gifts and Spirit,
Take they then our life,
Goods, fame, child, and wife,
When their worst is done,
They yet have nothing won:
The Kingdom ours remaineth.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: EIN' FESTE BURG

A pilgrim and a stranger
Author: Jane Borthwick; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: LHTC1918 #517a (1917) Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger,
I journey here below;
Far distant is my country,
The house to which I go.
Here I must toil and travail,
Oft weary and oppressed,
But there my God shall lead me
To everlasting rest.
2 There still my thoughts are dwelling,
'Tis there I long to be;
Come, Lord, and call Thy servant
To blessedness with Thee.
Come, bid my toils be ended,
Let all my wanderings cease;
Call from the wayside lodging
To the sweet home of peace.
3 There I shall dwell for ever,
No more a stranger guest,
With all Thy blood-bought children
In everlasting rest,--
The pilgrim toils forgotten,
The pilgrim conflicts o'er,
All earthly griefs behind us,
Eternal joys before!
