Just as I am, without one plea

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,013 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Oh, how shall words with equal warmth The gratitude declare, That glows within my ravished heart? But Thou canst read it there. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds The glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 6 Through all eternity, to Thee A joyful song I'll raise; But oh, eternity's too short To utter all Thy praise! Amen. Topics: Home and Personal Use Used With Tune: [When all Thy mercies, O my God]

Once in royal David's city

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 420 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's City Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her B]baby, In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And, through all His wondrous childhood, He would honor and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms He lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He. 4 For He is our childhood's pattern; Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above; And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 6 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crowned, All in white shall wait around. Amen. Topics: Christmas; For Children Used With Tune: [Once in royal David's city]

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: Bernhard S. Ingeman; Rev. S. Baring-Gould Meter: 8.7 D Appears in 326 hymnals First Line: Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Lyrics: 1 Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the promised land; Clear before us through the darkness Gleams and burns the guiding light: Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One, the light of God's own presence, O'er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread; One, the object of our journey, One, the faith which never tires, One, the earnest looking forward, One, the hope our God inspires; 3 One, the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One, the march in God begun; One, the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward, therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the Cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking; Soon the rending of the tomb; Then, the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom! Amen.
