Here, O My Lord, I See You Face to Face

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-89 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 322 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see you face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen, Here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace, And all my weariness upon you lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, Here drink with you the royal wine of heav'n; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song; Here is the heav'nly table spread anew; Here let me feast and, feasting, still prolong The brief bright hour of fellowship with you. 4 I have no help but yours; nor do I need Another arm but yours to lean upon; It is enough, O Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in your might, your might alone. 5 Mine is the sin but yours the righteousness; Mine is the guilt but yours the cleansing blood; Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace: Your blood, your righteousness, O Lord, my God. 6 Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear; The feast, though not the love, is past and gone. The bread and wine remove, but you are here, Nearer than ever, still my shield and sun. 7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by, Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above, Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy, The Lamb’s great marriage feast of bliss and love.

The True Bread

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: True bread of life, in pitying mercy giv’n Lyrics: 1 True bread of life, in pitying mercy giv’n, Long famished souls to strengthen and to feed; Christ Jesus, Son of God, true bread of Heav’n, Thy flesh is meat, Thy blood is drink indeed. 2 I cannot famish, though this earth should fail, Tho’ life through all its fields should pine and die; Though the sweet verdure should forsake each vale, And every stream of every land run dry. 3 True tree of life! Of Thee I eat and live, Who eateth of Thy fruit shall never die; ’Tis Thine the everlasting health to give, The youth and bloom of immortality. 4 Feeding on Thee, all weakness turns to power, This sickly soul revives, like earth in spring; Strength floweth on, and in each buoyant hour, This being seems all energy, all wing. 5 Jesus, our dying, buried, risen head, Thy Church’s life and Lord, Immanuel! At Thy dear cross we find th’eternal bread, And in Thy empty tomb the living well. Used With Tune: ELLERS Text Sources: Hymns of Faith and Hope 2nd series (London, James Nisbet, 1861)

Author: Jessie A. Lee Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Spirit of God, attend my rising heart Lyrics: 1 Spirit of God, attend my rising heart, Weaned now from earth, and body struggling long With pulses, weakness, all that earth imparts, But now made new by Heaven’s blissful song! 2 This is no dream, no frantic ecstasy! Rent from my tomb, I now behold the day; Glory, shine out, unveil the opening skies, Take all the dimness of my soul away. 3 Now I can love Thee, O my God and King, Love like, but greater, than Thine angels show; As they in awe adoring praises sing, I love Thee for Thy blood’s deep crimson flow! 4 Now no more boundary keeps me from the sky, No more of hope or fear to overcome, No more of death, no tears, no rebel cry, No tempting of my soul, for I am home. 5 On earth Thou taught me Thou wast always nigh, Now face to face, I see bright, shining love; All of my prayers, the sobbing, mournful sigh, Are now full answered by Thy face above! 6 Lord, see my tears: I cry for those of Thine Who left the fold and would not come again. Close me within Thine arms, and I’ll not pine— Wipe all my tears, and give me peace within. 7 None now shall hunger, never will they thirst, For with Thee, Lord, they are for ever blest. Here is our home, no sorrow, pain or curse, But all is hope and joy and peace and rest. Used With Tune: MORECAMBE

Author: Walter J. Mathams Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ of the upward way, my Guide divine, Where Thou hast set Thy feet may I place mine; And move and march wherever Thou hast trod, Keeping face forward up the hill of God. 2 Give me the heart to hear thy voice and will, That without fault or fear I may fulfill Thy purpose with a glad and holy zest, Like one who would not bring less than his best. 3 Give me the good stout arm to shield the right, And wield Thy sword of truth with all my might, That, in the warfare I must wage for Thee, More than a victor I may ever be. · 4 Christ of the upward way, my Guide divine, Where Thou hast set Thy feet may I place mine; And when Thy last call comes serene and clear, Calm may my answer be, "Lord, I am here." Amen. Scripture: Matthew 4:19 Used With Tune: SURSUM CORDA

O God of Youth

Author: Sarah S. Kraybill Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O God of Isaac and of Abraham Lyrics: O God of Isaac and of Abraham, Unchanging Lord, Thou art the great I Am! There is no age Thou dost not understand; Let youth be shadowed by Thy steady Hand. Stay Thou our eager feet when we would rush; Replace impatient zeal with trusting hush. Lord, spare us from the folly of demand! He runs more fleet who waits for Thy command. When sheep once Thine have strayed without the fold, When those we trusted falter and grow cold, When hopes are frayed, we would not be unmoored. Support us through life’s disappointments, Lord! Life is too serious to be idled past; Ourselves too weak, eternity too vast. Mere feelings will not keep the youth secure. Thou art our Rock; by faith we shall endure! Safe in Thy will, what courage fills the soul! What strength is ours, when Thou art in control! Lead as Thou led the sons of Abraham, O God of youth, O Thou the great I Am!

People Draw Near to God in Their Distress

Author: Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945); Alan Gaunt (1935-) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 People draw near to God in their distress, pleading for help and begging peace and bread, rescue from guilt and sickness, nearly dead. Christian or not, all come in helplessness. 2 People draw near when they see God's distress: find God rejected, homeless, without bread, burdened with sin and weakness, nearly dead. Christians reach out to meet God's wretchedness. 3 And God draws near to people in distress, feeding their souls and bodies with his bread; Christian or not, for both he's hanging dead, forgiving, from the cross, their wickedness.
