Restore, O Father, to our times restore

Author: Anon. Hymnal: VoP1873 #764 (1873) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Restore, O Father, to our times restore, The peace which filled thine infant church of yore, Ere lust of power had sown the seeds of strife, And quenched the new-born charities of life. 2 Oh, never more may different judgments part From kindly sympathy a brother's heart! But, linked in one, believing thousands kneel, And share with each the sacred joy they feel. 3 From soul to soul, quick as the sunbeam's ray, Let concord spread one universal day; And faith by love lead all mankind to thee, Parent of peace, and fount of harmony!

Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man!

Author: Ashworth Hymnal: VoP1873 #805 (1873) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Pour, blessed Gospel, glorious news for man! Thy stream of life o'er springless deserts roll: Thy bond of peace the mighty earth can span, And make one brotherhood from pole to pole. 2 On, piercing Gospel, on! of every heart, In every latitude, thou own'st the key: From their dull slumbers savage souls shall start, With all their treasures first unlocked by thee. 3 Spread, mighty Gospel, spread thy soaring wings! Gather thy scattered ones from every land: Call home the wanderers to the King of kings; Proclaim them all thine own--'tis Christ's command!

Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide

Author: Lyte Hymnal: VoP1873 #865 (1873) Meter: 10.10.10.10 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, oh, 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, oh, abide with me! 4 Not a brief glance I long, a passing word, But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord,-- Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but t' abide with me.

Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move

Author: Wm. Hunter Hymnal: VoP1873 #1013 (1873) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Joyfully, joyfully, onward I move, Bound to the land of bright spirits above; Angelic choristers, sing as I come, Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home! Soon, with my pilgrimage ended below, Home to the land of delight will I go; Pilgrim and stranger no more shall I roam; Joyfully, joyfully resting at home. 2 Friends, fondly cherished, have passed on before; Waiting, they watch me approaching the shore; Singing, to cheer me through death's chilling gloom, Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home. Sounds of sweet melody fall on my ear; Harps of the blessed, your voices I hear! Rings with the harmony heaven's high dome; Joyfully, joyfully haste to thy home. 3 Death, with thy weapons of war, lay me low; Strike, king of terrors! I fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb; Joyfully, joyfully will I go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn, Death shall be banished, his scepter be gone; Joyfully, then, shall I witness his doom, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home.

Oh, worship the King all-glorious above

Author: R. Grant Hymnal: VoP1873 #104 (1873) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Oh, worship the King all-glorious above, And gratefully sing his wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 Oh, tell of his might, and sing of his grace, Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space; His chariots of wrath the deep thunder-clouds form, And dark is his path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distils in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee we do trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies how tender! how firm to the end! Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer and Friend. Topics: Attributes of God Holiness; Appellations of Majesty Scripture: 2 Samuel 22:9-12

Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams

Author: Maria De Fleury Hymnal: VoP1873 #185 (1873) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver streams, Our Saviour, at midnight, when moonlight's pale beams Shone bright on thy waters, would frequently stray, And lose, in thy murmurs, the toils of the day. 2 How damp were the vapors that fell on his head! How hard was his pillow, how humble his bed! The angels, astonished, grew sad at the sight, And followed their Master with solemn delight. 3 O Garden of Olivet, thou dear honored spot, The fame of thy wonders shall ne'er be forgot; The theme most transporting to seraphs above; The triumph of sorrow,--the triumph of love! 4 Come, saints, and adore him; come, bow at his feet: Oh, give him the glory, the praise that is meet; Let joyful hosannas unceasing arise, And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.

Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near

Author: Hastings Hymnal: VoP1873 #833 (1873) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near, The waters of life are now flowing for thee; No price is demanded, the Saviour is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus thy God? A fountain is open, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For Mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb; Her message unheeded will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take his sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity's night. 5 Delay not, delay not; the hour is at hand, The earth shall dissolve, the heavens shall fade; The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand; What power then, O sinner, will lend thee its aid?

I would not live alway; I ask not to stay

Author: Muhlenberg Hymnal: VoP1873 #952 (1873) 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 the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's joys, full enough for its cheer. 2 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, 3 Who, who would live alway, away from his God-- Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where rivers of pleasure flow bright o'er the plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? 4 There saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Saviour and brethren transported to greet; While anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.

In seasons of grief to my God I'll repair

Author: Wm. Hunter Hymnal: VoP1873 #1035 (1873) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 In seasons of grief to my God I'll repair, When my heart is o'erwhelmed with sorrow and care; From the end of the earth unto thee will I cry,-- Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I, Higher than I, higher than I, Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. 2 When Satan, the tempter, comes in like a flood, To drive my poor soul from the fountain of good, I'll pray to the Lord, who for sinners did die, Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I. 3 And when I have finished my pilgrimage here, Complete in Christ's righteousness I shall appear, In the swellings of Jordan all dangers defy, And look to the Rock that is higher than I. 4 And when the last trumpet shall sound through the skies, And the dead from the dust of the earth shall arise, Transported, I'll join with the ransomed on high To praise the great Rock that is higher than I, Higher than I, higher than I, To praise the great Rock that is higher than I.
