Savior, to Thee We Raise Our Hymn

Author: William J. Foxell, 1857-1933 Meter: 11.12.11.12 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Savior, to Thee we raise our hymn of gladness Lyrics: 1. Savior, to Thee we raise our hymn of gladness; Once more at evening’s hour we look to Heav’n above; Far, far behind to leave earth’s toil and sadness— So resting only on Thy great redeeming love. 2. May this day’s sins, we pray Thee, all be pardoned; Grant us Thy absolution, give Thy grace to cheer; O never let our hearts by sin be hardened, But keep our conscience tender, give us holy fear. 3. Now day is done, and all its labors ended, Close Thou, O Lord, our weary eyes in gentle sleep; So may we ever be by Thee defended— O may Thy guardian angels round us vigil keep! 4. Our souls restore, renew our pow’rs, and make us Strong in Thy strength to rise and greet the morning light; And at the last, O blessèd Savior, take us To dwell with Thee in that glad land which knows no night!

O Tell Me No More of This World's Vain Store

Author: John Gambold Meter: 11.12.11.12 Appears in 275 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O tell me no more of this world’s vain store, The time for such trifles with me now is o’er; A country I’ve found where true joys abound, To dwell I’m determined on that happy ground. 2. The souls that believe in paradise live, And me in that number will Jesus receive; My soul, don’t delay; He calls thee away; Rise, follow thy Savior, and bless the glad day. 3. No mortal doth know what He can bestow, What light, strength, and comfort—go after Him, go; Lo, onward I move to a city above, None guesses how wondrous my journey will prove. 4. Great spoils I shall win from death, hell, and sin, ’Midst outward afflictions shall feel Christ within; And when I’m to die, Receive me, I’ll cry, For Jesus hath loved me, I cannot tell why: 5. But this I do find, we two are so joined, He’ll not live in glory and leave me behind; So this is the race I’m running through grace, Henceforth, till admitted to see my Lord’s face. 6. And now I’m in care my neighbors may share These blessings: to seek them will none of you dare? In bondage, O why, and death will you lie, When One here assures you free grace is so nigh?

The Lord's Knocking

Author: Herbert Kynaston Meter: 11.12.11.12 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The night is far spent, and the day is at hand Lyrics: 1 The night is far spent, and the day is at hand, There are signs in the heaven, and signs on the land, In the wavering earth, and the drought of the sea— But He stands and He knocks, sinner, nearer to thee. 2 His night winds but whisper until the day break To the Bride, for in slumber her heart is awake: He must knock at the sleep where the revelers toss With the dint of the nails and the shock of the cross. 3 Look out at the casement, see how He appears, Still weeping for thee all Gethsemane’s tears; Ere they plait Him earth’s thorns, in its solitude crowned, With the drops of the night and the dew of the ground. 4 Will you wait? Will you slumber until He is gone? Till the beam of the timber cry out to the stone? Till He shout at thy sepulcher, tear it apart, And knock at the dust, Who would speak to thy heart?

Milyen áldás, hogy Jézushoz tartozhatok! Öröm tölti be lelkem, mert szeret engem, És ha hallom nevét—rádobban szívem! 2 Nincs más név, mely mélyebben boldogító, Örök gazdagság, mi Benne található! Tudom, vére megtisztít, megváltott engem, Amit Ő nyújt nekem, üdv az már itt lenn. 3 Ám vár ránk a mennyei találkozó, De mi itt miénk, ez már oly jó kóstoló! Alíg várom a napot, míg mennybe megyek, Jézus engem ott vár, hogy nála legyek! Used With Tune: COMFORT

The Chariot

Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.12.11.12 Appears in 154 hymnals First Line: The chariot! the chariot! its wheels roll in fire Lyrics: 1. The chariot! the chariot! its wheels roll in fire, As the Lord cometh down in the pomp of His ire! Lo! self moving it drives on its pathway of cloud, And the heavens with the burden of Godhead are bowed. 2. The glory! the glory! around Him are poured Mighty hosts of the angels that wait on the Lord; And the glorified saints and the martyrs are there, And there all who the palm wreaths of victory wear. 3. The trumpet! the trumpet! the dead have all heard, Lo! the depths of the stone covered charnel are stirred; From the sea, from the earth, from the south, from the north, And the vast generations of man are come forth. 4. The judgment! the judgment! the thrones are all set, Where the Lamb and the white vested elders are met; There all flesh is at once in the sight of the Lord, And the doom of eternity hangs on His word. 5. O mercy! O mercy! look down from above, Great Creator, on us, Thy sad children, with love; When beneath to their darkness the wicked are driven, May our justified souls find a welcome in Heaven.
