"The throne of grace"

Author: John Newton Hymnal: LD1890 #51 (1890) First Line: Behold the throne of grace! Lyrics: 1 Behold the throne of grace! The promise calls me near; There Jesus shows a smiling face, And waits to answer prayer. 2 That rich atoning blood, Which sprinkled round I see, Provides for those who come to God An all-prevailing plea. 3 My soul! ask what thou wilt; Thou canst not be too bold: Since his own blood for thee he spilt, What else can he withhold? 4 Thine image, Lord, bestow, Thy presence and thy love; I ask to serve thee here below, And reign with thee above. 5 Teach me to live by faith; Conform my will to thine: Let me victorious be in death, And then in glory shine.

Life's Sunset

Author: W. B. O. Peabody Hymnal: LD1890 #547 (1890) First Line: Behold the western evening light! Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light! It melts in deepening gloom: So calmly Christians sink away, Descending to the tomb. The winds breathe low, the withering leaf Scarce whispers from the tree: So gently flows the parting breath, When good men cease to be. 2 How beautiful on all the hills The crimson light is shed! 'Tis like the peace the Christian gives To mourners round his bed. How mildly on the wandering cloud The sunset beam is cast! 'Tis like the memory left behind When loved ones breathe their last. 3 And now above the dews of night The rising star appears: So faith springs in the heart of those Whose eyes are bathed in tears. But soon the morning's happier light Its glory shall restore, And eyelids that are sealed in death Shall wake to close no more.

"Number our days"

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: LD1890 #548 (1890) First Line: Beneath our feet and o'er our head Lyrics: 1 Beneath our feet and o'er our head Is equal warning given; Beneath us lie the countless dead, Above us is the heaven! Death rides on every passing breeze, And lurks in every flower; Each season hath its own disease, Its peril every hour! 2 Our eyes have seen the rosy light Of youth's soft cheek decay; And fate descend in sudden night On manhood's middle day. Our eyes have seen the steps of age Halt feebly to the tomb; And yet shall earth our hearts engage, And dreams of days to come? 3 Then, mortal, turn! thy danger know; Where'er thy foot can tread, The earth rings hollow from below, And warns thee of her dead! Turn, mortal, turn! thy soul apply To truths divinely given: The dead, who underneath thee lie, Shall live for hell or heaven!
