Lord Jesus Christ, Be Present Now

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 72 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:15 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, be present now; Our hearts in true devotion bow. Your Spirit send with light divine, And let Your truth within us shine. 2 Unseal our lips to sing Your praise In endless hymns through all our days. Increase our faith and light our minds; And set us free from doubt that blinds. 3 Then shall we join the hosts that cry, "O holy, holy Lord Most High!" And in the light of that blest place We then shall see You face to face. 4 All glory to the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit, Three in One! To You, O blessed Trinity, Be praise throughout eternity!

Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us

Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-89 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:16 Lyrics: 1 Lord of Glory, You have bought us With Your life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice; And with that have freely given Blessings countless as the sand To the unthankful and the evil With Your own unsparing hand. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give You Gladly, freely of Your own. With the sunshine of Your goodness Melt our thankless hearts of stone Till our cold and selfish natures, Warmed by You, at length believe That more happy and more blessed 'Tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor You have given To our humblest charity In Your own mysterious sentence, "You have done it all to Me." Can it be, O gracious Master, That You deign for alms to sue, Saying by Your poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you"? 4 Lord of glory, You have bought us With Your life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust You boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on You; But, oh, best of all Your graces, With Your love our love renew. Topics: Society Used With Tune: HYFRYDOL

Once more our harvesting is o'er

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 13:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Once more our harvesting is o'er, A fresh supply laid up in store; The Lord was pleas'd to bless our earth, And fill our souls with joy and mirth. 2 Just such as was our wish and hope; The Lord preserv'd and blest our crop! And through the mercies of the Lord, We had another crop to hoard. 3 God gave the late and early rain, Therefore we labour'd not in vain; Had he not sent his blessings down, In vain our fields would have been sown. 4 By the rich bounties of our God, We still obtain supply and food; The air, and heat, and gentle show'rs, Makes all those blessings to be ours. 5 Such blessings make us truly blest, While they are by us here possess'd; O! let us render thanks and praise To God, for all such acts of grace.
