I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray; Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.

We Rear Not a Temple

Author: Henry Ware, Jr. Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: We rear not a temple, like Judah's of old Lyrics: 1. We rear not a temple, like Judah’s of old, Whose portals were marble, whose vaultings were gold; No incense is lighted, no victims are slain, No monarch kneels praying to hallow the fane. 2. More simple and lowly the walls that we raise, And humbler the pomp of procession and praise, Where the heart is the altar whence incense shall roll, And Messiah the King who shall pray for the soul. 3. O Father, come in! but not in the cloud Which filled the bright courts where Thy chosen ones bowed; But come in that Spirit of glory and grace, Which beams on the soul and illumines the face. 4. O come in the power of Thy life giving Word, And reveal to each heart its Redeemer and Lord; Till faith bring the peace to the penitent giv’n, And love fill the air with the fragrance of Heav’n. 5. The pomp of Moriah has long passed away, And soon shall our frailer erection decay; But the souls that are builded in worship and love Shall be temples of God, everlasting above.

O Mercy Divine, O Couldst Thou Incline

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O mercy divine, O couldst Thou incline, My God, to become such as infant as mine? What wonder of grace: The Ancient of Days Is found in the likeness of Adam’s frail race! 2. He comes from on high, who fashioned the sky, And meekly vouchsafes in a manger to lie; Our God ever blest, with oxen doth rest, Is nursed by His creature and hangs at the breast. 3. So heavenly-mild, His innocence smiled, No wonder the mother would worship the Child, The angels she knew had worshipped Him, too, And still they confess adoration His due. 4. On Jesus’ face, with eager amaze, And pleasure ecstatic the cherubim gaze; Their newly born King, transported they sing, And Heaven and earth with the triumph doth ring. 5. The shepherds behold Him, the promised of old, By angels attended, by prophets foretold; The wise men adore now, and bring Him their store, The rich are permitted to follow the poor. 6. To the inn they repair, to see the young Heir; The inn is a palace, for Jesus is there! Who now would be great, and not rather wait On Jesus their Lord in His humble estate? 7. Like Him would I be, my Master I see In a stable; a manger shall satisfy me; And here will I lie, till raised up on high, With Him on the cross I recover the sky.

In Sweet Fields of Autumn

Author: Elizabeth Madison, b. 1883 Meter: 12.12.12.12 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: In sweet fields of autumn the gold grain is falling Lyrics: 1 In sweet fields of autumn the gold grain is falling, the white clouds drift lonely, the wild swan is calling. Alas for the daisies, the tall fern and grasses, when wind-sweep and rainfall fill lowlands and passes. 2 The snows of December shall fill windy hollow; the bleak rain trails after, the March wind shall follow. The deer through the valleys leave print of their going; and diamonds of sleet mark the ridges of snowing. 3 The stillness of death shall stoop over the water, the plover sweep low where the pale streamlets falter; but deep in the earth clod the black seed is living; when spring sounds her bugles for rousing and giving.
