Father, lead me, day by day

Appears in 161 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, lead me, day by day, Ever in Thine own sweet way; Teach me to be pure and true, Show me what I ought to do. 2 When in danger, make me brave; Make me know that Thou canst save: Keep me safe by Thy dear side; Let me in Thy love abide. 3 When I'm tempted to do wrong, Make me steadfast, wise, and strong; And when all alone I stand, Shield me with Thy mighty hand. 4 When my heart is full of glee, Help me to remember Thee,-- Happy most of all to know That my Father loves me so. 5 When my work seems hard and dry, May I press on cheerily; Help me patiently to bear Pain and hardship, toil and care. 6 May I do the good I know, Be Thy loving child below, Then at last go home to Thee, Evermore Thy child to be. Amen. Topics: Love Used With Tune: POSEN

Where tears are ever banished, And smiles have no alloy; The Lamb is all thy splendour, The Crucified thy praise; His laud and benediction Thy ransomed people raise. 3 With jasper glow thy bulwarks, Thy streets with emeralds blaze; The sardius and the topaz Unite in thee their rays; Thine ageless walls are bonded With amethyst unpriced; The saints build up its fabric, And the corner-stone is Christ. 4 Thou has no shore, fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Upon the Rock of Ages They raise thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. 5 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country, That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

Forward! be our watchword

Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forward! be our watchword, Step and voices joined, Seek the things before us, Not a look behind; Burns the fiery pillar At our army's head; Who shall dream of shrinking, By our Captain led? Forward thro' the desert, Thro' the toil and fight, Jordan flows before us, Sion beams with light. 2 Forward when in childhood Buds the infant mind; All through youth and manhood, Not a thought behind: Speed through realms of nature, Climb the steps of grace; Faint not, till in glory Gleams our Father's face. Forward, all the life-time Climb from height to height: Till the head be hoary, Till the eve be light! 3 Forward, flock of Jesus, Salt of all the earth, Till each yearning purpose Spring to glorious birth; Sick, they ask for healing, Blind, they grope for day; Pour upon the nations Wisdom's loving ray. Forward, out of error, Leave behind the night; Forward through the darkness, Forward into light. 4 Glories upon glories, Hath our God prepared, By the souls that love Him One day to be shared; Eye hath not beheld them, Ear hath never heard; Nor of these hath uttered Thought or speech or word. Forward, marching eastward Where the heaven is bright, Till the veil be lifted, Till our faith be sight! Amen. Topics: Festivals Used With Tune: S. BOTOLPH

From Greenland's icy mountains

Appears in 1,680 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand; From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile: In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high; Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation, The joyful sound proclaim, Till each remotest nation Has learnt Messiah's Name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole: Till o'er our ransom'd nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign. Amen. Topics: Missions Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Appears in 1,291 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, Form'd thee for His own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove; Who can faint, while such a river Ever flows their thirst t'assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the Giver, Never falls from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear, For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord is near. Blest inhabitants of Zion, Wash'd in the Redeemer's blood! Jesus, whom our souls rely on, Makes them kings and priests to God. Amen.
