Nearer, my God, to Thee

Author: S. Adams Hymnal: WHCS1918 #296 (1918) Person Name: S. Adams Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee, E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee. 2 Though like the wanderer, The sun gone down, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone, Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 3 There let my way appear Steps unto heaven; All that Thou sendest me In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 4 There with my waking thoughts Bright with Thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee! 5 Or if on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer to Thee!

God, who madest earth and heaven

Author: H. Albert Hymnal: WHCS1918 #35 (1918) Person Name: H. Albert Lyrics: 1 God, who madest earth and heaven,-- Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Who the day and night hast given, Sun and moon, and starry host, Thou whose mighty hand sustains Earth and all that she contains: 2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render, Who this night hast guarded me, My omnipotent Defender, Who from ill dost set me free; Free from danger, anguish, woe, Free from the infernal foe. 3 Let the night of my transgression With night's darkness pass away; Jesus, into Thy possession I resign myself today. In Thy wounds I find relief From my greatest sin and grief. 4 Let my life and conversation Be directed by Thy word; Lord, Thy constant preservation To thy erring child afford. Nowhere but alone in Thee From all harm can I be free. 5 Wholly to Thy blest protection I commit my heart and mind; Mighty God! to Thy direction, Wholly may I be resigned. Lord, my Shield, my Light divine, O accept and own me Thine! Topics: Morning

There is a green hill far away

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: WHCS1918 #163 (1918) Person Name: C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He had to bear, But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious Blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin, He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 5 Oh, dearly, dearly has He loved! And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do. Topics: Lent

He is risen! He is risen!

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: WHCS1918 #181 (1918) Person Name: C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 He is risen! He is risen! Tell it with a joyful voice; He has burst His three days' prison, Let the whole wide earth rejoice: Death is conquered, man is free, Christ has won the victory. 2 Tell it to the sinners, weeping Over deeds in darkness done; Weary fast and vigil keeping, Brightly breaks their Easter sun; Blood can wash all sins away, Christ has conquered hell today. 3 Come, with high and holy gladness, Chant our Lord's triumphant lay; Not one touch of twilight sadness Dims His Resurrection Day; Brightly dawns the radiant East, Brighter far our Easter Feast. 4 He is risen! He is risen! Opened the eternal gate; We are free from sin's dark prison, Risen to a holier state; Soon a brighter Easter beam On our longing eyes shall stream. Topics: Easter

Author: C. F. Alexander Hymnal: WHCS1918 #189 (1918) Person Name: C. F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 Th'eternal gates lift up their heads, The doors are opened wide; The King of glory is gone up Unto His Father's side. 2 Thou art gone up before us, Lord, Thou hast prepared a place, That we may be where now Thou art, And look upon Thy face. 3 And ever on Thine earthly path A gleam of glory lies; A light still breaks behind the clouds That veil Thee from our eyes. 4 Lift up our thoughts, lift up our songs, And let Thy grace be given, That while we linger yet below, Our hearts may be in heaven. 5 That where Thou art at God's right hand, Our hope, our love may be: Dwell in us now, that we may dwell Forevermore with Thee.

O Christ who art the light and day

Author: Anon. ; R.F. Littledale Hymnal: WHCS1918 #48 (1918) Person Name: Anon. Lyrics: 1 O Christ who art the light and day, Thy beams chase night's dark shades away; The very Light of light Thou art, Who dost that blessed light impart. 2 All-holy Lord, to Thee we bend Thy servants through this night defend, And grant us calm repose in Thee, A quiet night from perils free. 3 Let not dull sleep the soul oppress, Nor secret foe the heart possess; Nor Satan's wiles the flesh allure, And make us in Thy sight impure. 4 Light slumbers let our eyelids take, The heart to Thee be still awake; And Thy right hand protection be To those who love and trust in Thee. 5 O Lord, our strong defense, be nigh; Bid all the powers of darkness fly; Preserve and watch o'er us for good, Whom Thou hast purchased with Thy blood. 6 Remember us, dear Lord, we pray, Whilst burdened in the flesh we stay: Thou only canst the soul defend; Be with us, Savior, to the end.
