A charge to keep I have

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: CHRC1920 #453 (1920) 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 From youth to hoary 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, Steadfast to walk on Christ's dear way, And God to glorify.

A few more years shall roll

Author: H. Bonar Hymnal: CHRC1920 #210 (1920) 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 suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time, And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for tat blest day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away. 3 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. 4 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 bright 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, 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.

A little child the Saviour came

Author: W. Robertson Hymnal: CHRC1920 #235 (1920) Lyrics: 1 A little child the Saviour came, The mighty God was still His Name; And angels worshiped as He lay, The seeming infant of a day. 2 He Who a little child began The life divine to show to man, Proclaims from heaven the message free, "Let little children come to Me." 3 We bring them, Lord, and with the sign Of cleansing water name them Thine: Their souls with saving grace endow, Baptize then with Thy Spirit now. 4 O give Thy angels charge, good Lord, Them safely in Thy way to guard; Thy blessing on their lives command, And write their names upon Thy hand. 5 O Thou Who by an infant's tongue Dost hear Thy perfect glory sung, May these, with all the heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

A little kingdom I possess

Author: L. M. Alcott Hymnal: CHRC1920 #628 (1920) Lyrics: 1 A little kingdom I posses, Where thoughts and feelings dwell; And very hard I find the task Of governing it well: For passion tempts and troubles me, A wayward will misleads, And selfishness its shadow casts On all my words and deeds. 2 How can I learn to rule myself, To be the child I should, Honest and brave, nor ever tire Of trying to be good? How can I keep a sunny soul To shine along life's way? How can I tune my little heart To sweetly sing all day? 3 Dear Father, help me with the love That casteth out my fear; Teach me to lean on Thee, and feel That Thou art very near: That no temptation is unseen, No childish grief too small, Since Thou, with patience infinite, Dost soothe and comfort all. 4 I do not ask for any crown But that which all may win: Nor try to conquer any world Except the one within. Be Thou my guide until I find Led by a tender hand, Thy happy kingdom in myself, And dare to take command. Topics: Youth and School Life Languages: English Tune Title: ALCOTT

A mighty Fortress is our God

Author: F. H. Hedge; M. Luther Hymnal: CHRC1920 #295 (1920) 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.

Lyte Hymnal: CHRC1920 #12 (1920) 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, Lord, 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.

By foes derided, by Thine own rejected, O most afflicted. 2 Who was the guilty! Who brought this upon Thee? Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee. 'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee: I crucified Thee. 3 Lo, the good Shepherd for the sheep is offered; The slave hath sinned, and the Son hath suffered; For man's atonement, while he nothing heedeth, God intercedeth. 4 For me, kind Jesus, was Thy incarnation, Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life's oblation; Thy death of anguish and Thy bitter passion, For my salvation. 5 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee, I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee, Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving, Not my deserving.

Author: J. M. Neale Hymnal: CHRC1920 #166 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God a band Of bright and glorious angels stand, Sweet harps within their hands they hold, And on their heads are crowns of gold. 2 Some wait around Him ready still To sing His praise and do His will, And some, when He commands them, go To guard His servants here below. 3 Lord, give Thine angels every day Command to guard us on our way, And bid them every evening keep Their watch around us while we sleep. 4 So shall no wicked thing draw near To do us harm, or cause us fear; And we shall dwell, when life is past, With angels round Thy throne at last.

Art thou weary, art thou languid

Author: J. M. Neale Hymnal: CHRC1920 #336 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Art thou weary, art thou languid, Art thou sore distrest? "Come to Me," saith One, "and coming, Be at rest." 2 Hath He marks to lead me to Him, If He be my guide? "In His feet and hands are wound-prints, And His side." 3 Is there diadem, as monarch, That His brow adorns? "Yea, a crown, in very surety, But of thorns." 4 If I find Him, if I follow, What His guerdon here? "Many a sorrow, many a labour, Many a tear." 5 If I still hold closely to Him, What hath He at last? "Sorrow vanquished, labour ended, Jordan past." 6 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay? "Not till earth, and not till heaven Pass away." 7 Finding, following, keeping, struggling, Is He sure to bless? Saints, apostles, prophets, martyrs, Answer, "Yes."

Author: J. Chandler; C. Coffin Hymnal: CHRC1920 #24 (1920) Lyrics: 1 As now the sun's declining rays At eventide descend, E'en so our years are sinking down To their appointed end. 2 Lord, on the cross Thine arms were stretched To draw the nations nigh; O grant us then that cross to love, And in those arms to die. 3 To God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Ghost, All glory be from saints on earth, And from the angel host.

As pants the hart for cooling streams

Hymnal: CHRC1920 #343 (1920) Lyrics: 1 As pants the hart for cooling streams When heated in the chase, So longs my soul, O God, for Thee, And Thy refreshing grace. 2 For Thee, my God, the living God, My thirsty soul doth pine; O when shall I behold Thy face, Thou Majesty Divine! 3 Why restless, why cast down, my soul? Trust God, and He'll employ His aid for thee, and change these sighs To thankful hymns of joy. 4 Why restless, why cast down, my soul?

As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs

Author: R. Lowth; G. Gregory Hymnal: CHRC1920 #463 (1920) Lyrics: 1 As pants the wearied hart for cooling springs, That sinks exhausted in the summer's chase, So pants my soul for Thee, great King of kings, So thirsts to reach Thy sacred dwelling place. 2 Lord, Thy sure mercies, ever in my sight, My heart shall gladden through the tedious day; And midst the dark and gloomy shades of night, To Thee, my God, I'll tune the grateful lay. 3 Why faint, my soul? why doubt Jehovah's aid? Thy God, the God of mercy still shall prove; Within His courts thy thanks shall yet be paid: Unquestioned be His faithfulness and love. Topics: General Languages: English Tune Title: PAX DEI

As with gladness men of old

Author: W. C. Dix Hymnal: CHRC1920 #69 (1920) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed; There to bend the knee before Him Whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ! to Thee our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus! every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright, Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down, There for ever may we sing Alleluias to our King.

Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!

Author: M. Mackay Hymnal: CHRC1920 #255 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep! From which none ever wakes to weep; A calm and undisturb'd repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. 2 Asleep in Jesus! O how sweet To be for such a slumber meet; With holy confidence to sing That death hath lost its painful sting! 3 Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest! Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe shall dim that hour That manifests the Saviour's power. 4 Asleep in Jesus! O for me May such a blessful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie, Waiting the summons from on high. 5 Asleep in Jesus! far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be; But there is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wakes to weep.

At even, when the sun was set

Author: H. Twells Hymnal: CHRC1920 #14 (1920) Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around Thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away. 2 Once more 't is eventide, and we Oppress'd with various ills draw near; What if Thy form we cannot see? We know and feel that Thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel; For some are sick, and some are sad. And some have never loved Thee well, And some have lost the love they had. 4 And some have found the world is vain, Yet from the world they break not free, And some have friends who give them pain, Yet have not sought a friend in Thee. 5 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would love Thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 6 O Saviour Christ, Thou too art Man; Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried, Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 7 Thy touch has still its ancient power; No word from Thee can fruitless fall; Hear, in this solemn evening hour, And in Thy mercy heal us all.

At the Cross her station keeping

Author: R. Mant; E. Caswall Hymnal: CHRC1920 #108 (1920) Lyrics: 1 At the Cross her station keeping Stood the mournful mother weeping, Where He hung, the dying Lord, For her soul of joy bereaved, Bowed with anguish deeply grieved, Felt the sharp and piercing sword. 2 O how sad and sore distressed Now was she, that mother blessed Of the sole-begotten One, Deep the woe of her affliction, When she saw the crucifixion Of her ever-glorious Son. 3 Who, on Christ's dear mother gazing, Pierced by anguish so amazing, Born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ's dear mother thinking, Such a cup of sorrow drinking, Would not share her sorrows deep? 4 For His people's sins chastised, She beheld her Son despised, Scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; Saw Him then from judgment taken, And in death by all forsaken, Till His spirit He resigned. 5 Jesus, may her deep devotion Stir in me the same emotion, Fount of love, Redeemer kind; That my heart fresh ardour gaining, And a purer love attaining, May with Thee acceptance find.

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: R. Campbell Hymnal: CHRC1920 #115 (1920) Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath wash'd us in the tide Flowing from His pierced side; Praise we Him, Whose love divine Gives His sacred blood for wine, Gives His body for the feast, Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. 2 Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, Whose blood was shed, Paschal Victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty Victim from the sky Hell's fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light: Now no more can death appal, Now no more the grave enthral; Thou hast opened Paradise, And in Thee Thy saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's power do Thou set free Souls new-born, O Lord, in Thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, Risen Lord, to Thee we raise; Holy Father, praise to Thee, With the Spirit, ever be. Topics: Lent Eastertide Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG

At the name of Jesus

Author: C. M. Noel Hymnal: CHRC1920 #589 (1920) Lyrics: 1 At the Name of Jesus Ev'ry knee shall bow, Ev'ry tongue confess Him King of Glory now; 'Tis the Father's pleasure We should call Him Lord, Who from the beginning Was the mighty Word. 2 At His voice creation Sprang at once to sight, All the angel faces, All the hosts of light. Thrones and dominations, Stars upon their way, All the heavenly orders, In their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, To receive a Name From the lips of sinners, Unto whom He came, Faithfully He bore it Spotless to the last, Brought it back victorious, When from death He passed; 4 Bore it up triumphant, With its human light, Through all ranks of creatures, To the central height: To the throne of Godhead, To the Father's breast, Fill'd it with the glory Of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone Him; There let Him subdue All that is not holy, All that is not true: Crown Him as your Captain In temptation's hour; Let His will enfold you In its light and power. 6 Brothers, this Lord Jesus Shall return again, With His Father's glory, With His angel train; For all wreaths of empire Meet upon His brow, And our hearts confess Him King of Glory now.

The stars in the bright sky Looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay. 2 The cattle are lowing, The Baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus No crying He makes. I love Thee, Lord Jesus; Look down from the sky, And stay close by my side Until morning is night. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus: I ask Thee to stay Close by me for ever, And love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven To live with Thee there. Topics: Youth and School Life Younger Children Languages: English Tune Title: MANGER

Before Jehovah's awful throne

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: CHRC1920 #441 (1920) Lyrics: 1 Before Jehovah's awful throne, Ye nations, bow with sacred joy; Know that the Lord is God alone; He can create, and He destroy. 2 His sovereign power without our aid, Made us of clay, and formed us men; And when like wandering sheep we strayed, He brought us to His fold again. 3 We are His people, we His care, Our souls, and all our mortal frame: What lasting honours shall we rear, Almighty Maker, to Thy Name? 4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs; High as the heaven our voices raise; And earth, with her ten thousand tongues, Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise. 5 Wide as the world is Thy command, Vast as eternity Thy love; Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand, When rolling ears shall cease to move.

He will, the very friend you need; The Man of Nazareth, 'tis He, With garments dyed at Calvary. 3 O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 4 Rise, touched with gratitude Divine; Turn out His enemy and thine, That soul-destroying monster, sin, And let the heavenly Stranger in.
