Alas! and did my Saviour bleed?

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #182b (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would he devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I had done He groan'd upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When God the mighty Maker died For man the creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face While his dear cross appears. Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'Tis all that I can do.

Alas! what hourly dangers rise

How strong my foes and fears! 3 O Lord, increase my faith and hope, When foes and fears prevail, And bear my fainting spirit up, Or soon my strength will fail. 4 Oh, keep me in thy heavenly way, And bid the tempter flee; And let me never, never stray From happiness and thee. Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

Almighty God, thy piercing eye

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #142b (1870) Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, thy piercing eye Strikes thro' the shades of night.

Be all exposed before the sun. While men and angels hear? 4 Lord, at thy foot ashamed I lie, Upward I dare not look: Pardon my sins before I die. And blot them from thy book 5 Remember all the dying pains That my Redeemer felt, And let his blood wash out my stains And answer for my guilt. Tune Title: DUNDEE

Happy children, blessed children

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #47 (1870) First Line: Be kind to each other Lyrics: 1 Be kind to each other; The night's coming on, When friend and when brother Perchance may be gone; Then, 'midst our dejection, How sweet to have earn'd The blest recollection Of kindness return'd! Chorus: Happy children, blessed children, Who are loving one another truly; And the Saviour, blessed Saviour, Loving more than all beside. 2 When day hath departed, And memory keeps Her watch, broken-hearted, Where all the loved sleep. Let falsehood assail not, Nor envy disprove, Let trifles prevail not 'Gainst those whom you love.

Be kind to thy father; for when thou wast young

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #82 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Be kind to thy father; for when thou wast young, Who loved thee so fondly as he? He caught the first accents which fell from thy tongue, And join'd in thy innocent glee. Be kind to thy father, for now he is old, His looks intermingled with gray; His footsteps are feeble,--once fearless and bold, Thy father is passing away; Thy father is passing away. 2 Be kind to thy mother; for, lo! on her brow May traces of sorrow be seen; Oh, well mayst thou cherish and comfort her now, For loving and kind she hath been. Remember thy mother; for thee will she pray As long as God giveth her breath; With accents of kindness, then, cheer her lone way, E'en to the dark valley of death. 3 Be kind to thy brother: his heart will have dearth If the smile of thy joy be withdrawn; The flowers of feeling will fade at the birth If love and affection be gone. Be kind to thy brother, wherever you are; The love of a brother shall be An ornament purer and richer by far Than pearls from the depth of the sea. 4 Be kind to thy sister; not many may know The depth of true sisterly love; The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below The surface that sparkles above. Thy kindness shall bring in thee many sweet hours, And blessings thy pathway shall crown, Affection shall weave thee a garland of flowers More precious than wealth or renown. Tune Title: BE KIND TO THY FATHER

Beautiful Zion, built above

Hymnal: NSSH1870 #65 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Beautiful Zion, built above, Beautiful city, that I love, Beautiful gates of pearly white, Beautiful temple--God its light! He who was slain on Calvary Opens those pearly gates to me. 2 Beautiful heaven, where all is light, Beautiful angels, clothed in white, Beautiful strains, that never tire, Beautiful harps, thro' all the choir, There shall I join the chorus sweet, Worshiping at the Saviour's feet. 3 Beautiful crowns on every brow, Beautiful palms the conquerors show, Beautiful robes the ransomed wear, Beautiful all who enter there! Thither I press with eager feet; There shall my rest be long and sweet. 4 Beautiful throne for Christ our King, Beautiful songs the angels sing, Beautiful rest, all wanderings cease, Beautiful home of perfect peace! There shall my eyes the Saviour see-- Haste to this heavenly home with me. Tune Title: BEAUTIFUL CITY
