There is a green hill far away

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 706 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin, He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly has He loved, And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do.

There is a land of pure delight

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,419 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood Stand dress'd in living green; So, to the Jews fair Canaan stood, While Jordan roll'd between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink, To cross the narrow sea; And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy doubts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love, With unbeclouded eyes;-- 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o'er, Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

This stone to Thee in faith we lay

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This stone to Thee in faith we lay; We build the temple, Lord, to Thee; Thine eye be open night and day To guard this house and sanctuary. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place, And when Thou hearest, O forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessed Gospel of Thy Son, Still by the power of His great Name Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 Hosanna! to their heavenly king, When children's voices raise that song, Hosanna! let their angels sing And heaven with earth the strain prolong. 5 But will, indeed, Jehovah deign Here to abide, no transient guest? Here will the world's Redeemer reign? And here the Holy Spirit rest? 6 That glory never hence depart! Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone: Thy kingdom come to every heart, In every bosom fix Thy throne. Topics: Offices of the Church Laying of a Conrer-Stone

Through the day Thy love has spared us; Now we lay us down to rest, Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest: Jesus, Thou our Guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in Thee. 2.

Thus God declares His sovereign will

Thy chastening wrath, O Lord, restrain

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy chastening wrath, O Lord, restrain, Though I deserve it all; Nor let on me the heavy storm Of Thy displeasure fall. 2 My sins, which to a deluge swell, My sinking head o'er flow, And, for my feeble strength to bear, Too vast a burden grow. 3 But, Lord, before Thy searching eyes All my desires apper; The groanings of my burden'd soul Have reach'd Thine open ear. 4 Forsake me not, O Lord, my God, Nor far from me depart: Make hast to my relief, O Thou Who my salvation art.

Thy kingdom come, O God

Appears in 131 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God, Thy reign, O Christ, begin; Break with Thine iron rod The tyrannies of sin. 2 Where is Thy rule of peace And purity, and love? When shall all hatred cease, As in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time That war shall be no more, Oppression, lust, and crime Shall flee Thy face before? 4 We pray Thee, Lord, arise, And come in Thy great might; Revive our longing eyes, Which languish for Thy sight. 5 Men scorn Thy sacred name, And wolves devour Thy fold; By many deeds of shame We learn that love grows cold. 6 O'er heathen lands afar Thick darkness broodeth yet: Arise, O morning Star, Arise, and never set.
