As when the weary traveller gains

Author: Rev. J. Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 205 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 As, when the weary traveller gains The height of some commanding hill, His heart revives, if o'er the plains He eyes his home, tho' distant still; 2 Thus when the Christian pilgrim views By faith his mansion in the skies, The sight his fainting strength renews, And wings his speed to reach the prize. 3 The thought of heaven his spirit cheers; No more he grieves for troubles past; Nor any future trial fears, So he may safe arrive at last. 4 Jesus, on Thee our hopes we stay, To lead us on to Thine abode; Assured Thy love will far o'erpay The hardest labors of the road. Amen. Topics: Home and Personal Use Used With Tune: [As when the weary traveller gains]

Jesu! where'er Thy people meet

Author: W. Cowper Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 513 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Jesu! where'er Thy people meet, There they behold Thy mercy-seat; Where'er they seek Thee, Thou art found, And ev'ry place is hallowed ground. 2 And since within no walls confined, Thou dwellest in the humble mind: Let all within Thy house who come, Departing, take Thee to their home. 3 Yet everywhere Thou guid'st Thine own To raise for Thee an earthly throne; And where Thy Name Thou dost record, There Thou wilt come and bless them, Lord! [4* Behold at Thy commanding word, We stretch the curtain and the cord; Come Thou and fill this wider space, And bless us with a large increase.] 5 Great Shepherd of Thy chosen few, Thy former mercies here renew; And here to wayward hearts proclaim The sweetness of Thy saving Name! 6 Here may we prove the might of prayer, To strengthen faith and sweeten care: To teach our faint desires to rise, And bring all heaven before our eyes! 7 Here to the babe new-born on earth, Grant Thou the newer, better birth; By water and the Holy Ghost Restoring all that Adam lost. 8 Here to the weary, hungry, soul, Give Thou the gift that maketh whole; The bread that is Christ's flesh, for food, The wine that is the Saviour's blood. 9 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near; Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear; Oh, rend the heavens, come quickly down, And make a thousand hearts Thine own! Amen. * For enlargement of the Church Topics: Consecration of Churches Used With Tune: [Jesu! where'er Thy people meet]

Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne

Author: Rev. Ray Palmer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Come, Jesus, from the sapphire throne, Where Thy redeemed behold Thy face. Enter this temple, now Thine own, And let Thy glory fill the place. 2 We praise Thee that to-day we see Its sacred walls before Thee stand; 'Tis Thine for us; 'tis ours for Thee; Reared by Thy kind assisting hand. 3 Oft as returns the day of rest, Let heartfelt worship here ascend; With Thine own joy fill every breast, With Thine own power Thy word attend. 4 Here in the dark and sorrowing day, Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still; Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away, And give new strength to meet Thy will. 5 When round the Board Thine own shall meet, And keep the feast of dying love, Be our communion ever sweet With Thee, and with Thy Church above. 6 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep; In Thine own arms the lambs enfold; Give help to climb the heavenward steep, Till Thy full glory we behold.
