How shall we stand in that great day?

Author: F. E. B. Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: The judgment has set, the books have been opened Lyrics: 1 The judgment has set, the books have been opened; How shall we stand in that great day When every thought, and word, and action, God, the righteous Judge, shall weigh? Refrain: How shall we stand in that great day? How shall we stand in that great day? Shall we be found before him wanting! Or with our sins all washed away? 2 The work is begun with those who are sleeping, Soon will the living here be tried, Out of the books of God's remembrance, His decision to abide.

Of thy love some gracious token

Author: Anon. Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Of thy love some gracious token Grant us, Lord, before we go; Bless the word which has been spoken, Life and peace all bestow. When we join the world again, Let our hearts with thee remain; O direct us! O protect us, Till we gain the heavenly shore, Where thy people want no more! 2 Then, O Lord of mercy, hear us, Guard our souls from every foe; In all peril be thou near us, In our weakness, strength bestow. God of Israel, be our stay. While we tread life's rugged way; Nor forsake us, Till thou take us, To thyself to dwell with thee, Through a bright eternity.

Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding

Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 140 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding, O'er the spoils that death has won, We would at this solemn meeting, Calmly say, "Thy will be done." 2 Though cast down, we're not forsaken; Though afflicted, not alone; Thou didst give, and thou hast taken; Blessed Lord, thy will be done. 3 Though to-day we're filled with mourning, Mercy still is on the throne; With thy smiles of love returning, We can sing, "Thy will be done." 4 By thy hands the boon was given, Thou hast taken but thine own: Lord of earth, and God of heaven, Evermore thy will be done.

Jesus, my Saviour, let me be

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 45 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Saviour, let me be More perfectly conformed to thee; Implant each grace, each sin dethrone, And form my temper like thine own, And form my temper like thine own. 2 My foe, when hungry, let me feed, Share in his grief, supply his need; The haughty frown may I not fear, But with a lowly meekness bear. 3 Let the envenomed heart and tongue, The hand outstretched to do me wrong, Excite no feelings in my breast, But such as Jesus oft expressed. 4 To others let me always give What I from others would receive. Nor, when provoked, with anger burn, Nor evil word or act return. 5 This will proclaim how bright and fair The precepts of the gospel are, And God himself, the God of love, His own resemblance will approve.

My God, is any hour so sweet

Author: Charlotte Elliott Appears in 288 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, is any hour so sweet, From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to thy feet, The hour of prayer? 2 Blest is that tranquil hour of morn, And blest that solemn hour of eve, When, on the wings of prayer upborne, The world I leave. 3 Then is my strength by thee renewed; Then are my sins by thee forgiven; Then dost thou cheer my solitude With hopes of heaven. 4 No words can tell what sweet relief Here for my every want I find; What strength for warfare, balm for grief; What peace of mind. 5 Lord, till I reach that blissful shore. No privilege so dear shall be, As thus my inmost soul to pour In prayer to thee. Topics: The Christian Meditation and Prayer Used With Tune: CARRUTH
