A charge to keep I have

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Hymnal: HAGA1895 #509 (1895) 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 fulfil,-- 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 few more years shall roll

Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: HAGA1895 #612 (1895) 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 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. 3 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 blest day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away. 4 A few more Sabbaths here Shall cheer us on our way, And we shall reach the endless rest, The eternal Sabbath-day: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that sweet 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. Amen.

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: Rev. Frederick H. Hedge; Martin Luther Hymnal: HAGA1895 #121 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A mighty Fortress is our God, A Bulwark never failing; Our Helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing: For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; His craft and power are great, And, armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal. 2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing; Were not the right man on our side, The man of God's own choosing: Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth His Name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, - We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever. Amen.

A parting hymn we sing

Author: Rev. Aaron R. Wolfe Hymnal: HAGA1895 #336 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A parting hymn we sing Around Thy table, Lord; Again our grateful tribute bring, Our solemn vows record. 2 Here have we seen Thy face, And felt your presence here; So may the savor of Thy grace In word and life appear. 3 The purchase of Thy blood, By sin no longer led, The path our dear Redeemer trod May we rejoicing tread. 4 In self-forgetting love Be our communion shown, Until we join the church above, And know as we are known.

A thousand years have come and gone

Author: Rev. Thomas T. Lynch Hymnal: HAGA1895 #175 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A thousand years have come and gone, And near a thousand more, Since happier light from heaven shone Than ever shone before; And in the hearts of old and young A joy most joyful stirred, That sent such news from tongue to tongue As ears had never heard. 2 Then angels on their starry way Felt bliss unfelt before, For news that men should be as they, To darkened earth they bore; So toiling men and spirits bright A first communion had, And in meek mercy's rising light Were each exceeding glad. 3 And we are glad, and we will sing, As in the days of yore; Come all, and hearts made ready bring, To welcome back once more The day when first on wintry earth A summer change began, And, dawning in a lowly birth, Uprose the Light of man. 4 For trouble such as men must bear From childhood to fourscore, He shared with us, that we might share His joy for evermore; And twice a thousand years of grief, Of conflict, and of sin, May tell how large the harvest sheaf His patient love shall win. Amen.

A voice by Jordan's shore

Author: Rev. Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: HAGA1895 #209 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A voice by Jordan's shore, A summons stern and clear: "Reform; be just, and sin no more: God's judgment draweth near!" 2 A voice by Galilee, A holier voice I hear: "Love God; thy neighbor love: for see God's mercy draweth near!" 3 O voice of Duty, still Speak forth: I hear with awe; In Thee I own the sovereign will, Obey the sovereign law. 4 Thy higher voice of Love, Yet speak thy word in me; Through duty let me upward move To thy pure liberty. Amen.

A voice upon the midnight air

Author: Rev. James Martineau Hymnal: HAGA1895 #224 (1895) Lyrics: 1 A voice upon the midnight air, Where Kedron's moonlit waters stray, Weeps forth in agony of prayer, "O Father, take this cup away." 2 Ah! Thou who sorrowest unto death, We conquer in Thy mortal fray; And earth for all her children saith, "O God, take not this cup away." 3 O Lord of sorrow, meekly die: Thou'lt heal or hallow all our woe; Thy Name refresh the mourner's sigh, Thy peace revive the faint and low. 4 Great Chief of faithful souls, arise: None else can lead the martyr-band, Who teach the brave how peril flies, When faith, unarmed, lifts up the hand. 5 O King of earth, the cross ascend; O'er climes and ages 'tis Thy throne: Where'er Thy fading eye may bend, The desert blooms, and is Thine own. 6 Thy parting blessing, Lord, we pray: Make but one fold below, above; And when we go the last lone way, O give the welcome of Thy love. Amen.

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide

Author: Rev. Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: HAGA1895 #24 (1895) 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, O 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, O abide with me. 4. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless: Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5. Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee: In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. Amen.

According to Thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: HAGA1895 #328 (1895)

Again, as evening's shadow falls

Author: Rev. Samuel Longfellow Hymnal: HAGA1895 #22 (1895) Lyrics: 1. Again, as evening's shadow falls, We gather in these hallowed walls; And vesper hymn and vesper prayer Rise mingling on the holy air. 2. May struggling hearts that seek release Here find the rest of God's own peace; And, strengthened here by hymn and prayer, Lay down the burden and the care. 3. O God, our Light, to Thee we bow; Within all shadows standest Thou; Give deeper calm than night can bring; Give sweeter songs than lips can sing. 4. Life's tumult we must meet again; We cannot at the shrine remain; But in the spirit's secret cell May hymn and prayer for ever dwell. Amen.

Alas, and did my Savior bleed

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Hymnal: HAGA1895 #219 (1895)

All faded is the glowing light

Author: Rev. Thomas T. Lynch Hymnal: HAGA1895 #252 (1895) Lyrics: 1 All faded is the glowing light That once from heaven shone, When startled shepherds in the night The angels came upon. 2 O shine again, ye angel host, And say that He is near; Though but a simple few at most Believe He will appear. 3 Ye heavens, that have been growing dark, Now also are ye dumb; When shall the listeners say, "Hark! They're singing -- He will come"? 4 Lord, come again, O come again, Come even as Thou wilt; But not anew to suffer pain, And strive with human guilt. 5 O come again, Thou mighty King, Let earth Thy glory see; And let us hear the angels sing, "He comes with victory."

All glory, laud, and honor

Author: Rev. John M. Neale; Theodulph of Orleans Hymnal: HAGA1895 #213 (1895) Lyrics: 1 All glory, laud, and honor To Thee, Redeemer, King! To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring. 2 Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David's royal Son, Who in the Lord's Name comest, The King and Blessed One. Refrain: All glory, laud, and honor To Thee, Redeemer, King! To whom the lips of children Made sweet hosannas ring. 3 The company of angels Are praising Thee on high; And mortal men, and all things Created, make reply. [Refrain] 4 The people of the Hebrews With palms before Thee went: Our praise and prayers and anthems Before Thee we present. [Refrain] 5 To Thee, before Thy passion, They sang their hymns of praise; To Thee, now high exalted, Our melody we raise. [Refrain] 6 Thou didst accept their praises; Accept the prayers we bring, Who in all good delightest, Thou good and gracious King. [Refain] Amen.

All hail the power of Jesus' Name!

Author: Rev. John Rippon; Rev. Edward Perronet Hymnal: HAGA1895 #139 (1895)

All is o'er: the pain, the sorrow

Author: Rev. John Moultrie; Rev. John Ellerton Hymnal: HAGA1895 #230 (1895) Lyrics: 1 All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow, Human taunts and fiendish spite; Death shall be despoiled tomorrow Of the prey he grasps tonight; Yet awhile, His own to save, Christ must linger in the grave. 2 Dark and still the cell that holds Him, While in brief repose he lies; Deep the slumber that enfolds Him, Veiled awhile from mortal eyes; Slumber such as needs must be After hard-won victory. 3 Fierce and deadly was the anguish Which on yonder cross He bore; How did soul and body languish Till the toil of death was o'er: But that toil, so fierce and dread, Bruised and crushed the serpent's head. 4 All night long, with plaintive voicing, Chant His requiem, soft and low: Loftier strains of loud rejoicing From to-morrow's harps will flow: "Death and hell at length are slain! Christ hath triumphed! Christ doth reign! Amen.

All my heart this night rejoices

All praise to him who dwells in bliss

Author: Rev. Charles Wesley Hymnal: HAGA1895 #25 (1895) Lyrics: 1. All praise to Him who dwells in bliss, Who made both day and night; Whose throne is darkness, in th'abyss, Of uncreated light. 2. Each thought and deed His piercing eyes With strictest search survey; The deepest shades no more disguise Than the full blaze of day. 3. Whom Thou dost guard, O King of kings, No evil shall molest: Under the shadow of Thy wings, Shall they securely rest. 4. Thy angels shall around their beds Their constant stations keep: Thy faith and truth shall shield their heads, For Thou dost never sleep. 5. May we, with calm and sweet repose And heavenly thoughts refreshed, Our eyelids with the morn's unclose, And bless the Ever-bless'd. Amen.

All praise to Thee, eternal Lord

Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: HAGA1895 #184 (1895) Lyrics: 1 All praise to Thee, Eternal Lord, Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood; Choosing a manger for Thy throne, While worlds on worlds are Thine alone. 2 Once did the skies before Thee bow; A Virgin's arms contain Thee now; Angels who did in Thee rejoice Now listen for Thine infant voice. 3 A little Child, Thou art our Guest, That weary ones in Thee may rest; Forlorn and lonely is Thy birth, That we may rise to heaven from earth. 4 Thou comest in the darksome night To make us children of the light, To make us, in the realms Divine, Like Thine own angels round Thee shine. 5 All this for us Thy love hath done; By this to Thee our love is won; For this we tune our cheerful lays, And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

All praise to Thee, my God, this night

Author: Bishop Thomas Ken Hymnal: HAGA1895 #17 (1895) Lyrics: 1. All praise to Thee, my God, this night, For all the blessings of the light; Keep me, O keep me, King of kings, Beneath Thy own almighty wings. 2. Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ill that I this day have done; That with the world, myself, and Thee, I, ere I sleep, at peace may be. 3. Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed; To die, that this vile body may Rise glorious at the awful day. 4. O may my soul on thee repose, And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close; Sleep that may me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake. 5. When in the night I sleepless lie, My soul with heavenly thoughts supply; Let no ill dreams disturb my rest, No powers of darkness me molest. 6. O when shall I, in endless day, For ever chase dark sleep away, And hymns with the supernal choir, Incessant sing, and never tire! Amen.
