How bless'd are they who always keep

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #221 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How bless'd are they who always keep The pure and perfect way; Who never from the sacred paths Of God's commandments stray! 2 How bless'd, who to His righteous laws Have still obedient been; And have with fervent, humble zeal His favour sought to win! 3 Such men their utmost caution use to shun each wicked deed; but in the path which he directs With constant care proceed. 4 Thou strictly hast enjoin'd us, Lord, To learn Thy sacred will; And all our diligence employ Thy statutes to fulfil. 5 O then that Thy most holy will Might o'er my ways preside; And I the course of all my life By thy direction guide!

O happy is the man who hears

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #222 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O happy is the man who hears Religion’s warning voice, And who celestial wisdom makes His early, only choice; 2 For she has treasures greater far Than east or west unfold; More precious are her bright rewards Than gems, or stores of gold. 3 Her right hand offers to the just Immortal happy days; Her left, imperishable wealth And heavenly crowns displays. 4 And as her holy labours rise, So her rewards increase; Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace.

What a strange and wondrous story

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #223 (1871) Lyrics: 1 What a strange and wondrous story From the Book of God is read!-- How the Lord of life and glory Had not where to lay His Head,-- 2 How He left His Throne in Heaven, Here to suffer, bleed, and die, That my soul might be forgiven, And ascend to God on high! 3 Father! let Thy Holy Spirit Still reveal a Saviour's love, And prepare me to inherit Glory where He reigns above; 4 There, with saints and angels dwelling, May I that great love proclaim, And with them be ever telling All the wonders of his name.

By cool Siloam's shady rill

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #224 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 By cool Siloam's shady rill How fair the lily grows! How sweet the breath, beneath the hill, Of Sharon's dewy rose! 2 Lo! such the child, whose early feet The paths of peace have trod, Whose secret heart, with influence sweet, Is upward drawn to God. 3 By cool Siloam's shady rill The lily must decay; The rose that blooms beneath the hill Must shortly fade away. 4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour Of man's maturer age Will shake the soul with sorrow's power, And stormy passion's rage. 5 Dependent on Thy bounteous breath, We seek Thy grace alone In childhood, manhood, age, and death, To keep us still Thine own.

Jesu, meek and gentle

I think when I read that sweet story of old

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #226 (1871) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 I think when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He call'd little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above, 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are wash'd and forgiven; And many dear children shall be with Him there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven." 5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall, Never heard of that Heavenly Home; I wish they could know there is room for them all, And that Jesus has bid them to come.

In the vineyard of our Father

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #227 (1871) Lyrics: 1 In the vineyard of our Father Daily work we find to do; Scatter'd gleanings we may gather, Though we are but weak and few; Little clusters Help to fill the basket too. 2 Toiling early in the morning, Catching moments through the day, Nothing small or lowly scorning While we work, and watch, and pray; Gathering gladly Free-will offerings by the way. 3 Not for selfish praise or glory, Not for objects nothing worth, But to send the blessèd story Of the Gospel o'er the earth, Telling mortals Of our Lord and Saviour's birth. 4 Up and ever at our calling, Till in death our lips are dumb, Or till -- sin's dominion falling -- Christ shall in His kingdom come, And His children Reach their everlasting home. 5 Steadfast, then, in our endeavoru, Heavenly Father, may we be; And for ever, and for ever, We will give the praise to Thee; Hallelujah Singing, all eternity.

O write upon my memory, Lord

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #228 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O write upon my memory, Lord, The text and doctrine of Thy Word' That I may break Thy laws no more, But love Thee better than before. 2 With thoughts of Christ and things divine, Fill up this sinful heart of mine; That hoping pardon through His blood, I may lie down and wake with God.

Saviour, like a shepherd lead us

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #229 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Saviour, like a shepherd lead us, Much we need Thy tender care; In Thy pleasant pastures feed us; For our use Thy folds prepare: Blessèd Jesus! Thou hast bought us, Thine we are. 2 Thou hast promised to receive us, Poor and sinful though we be; Thou hast mercy to relieve us, Grace to cleanse, and power to free: Blessèd Jesus! Let us early turn to Thee. 3 Early let us seek Thy favour, Early let us learn Thy will; Do Thou, Lord, our only Saviour, With Thy love our bosoms fill: Blessèd Jesus! Thou hast loved us, -- love us still. Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Languages: English

When Jesus left His Father's throne

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #230 (1871) Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left His Father's throne, He chose an humble birth; Like us, unhonour'd and unknown, He came to dwell on earth. Like Him, may we be found below, In Wisdom's paths of peace; Like Him, in grace and knowledge grow, As years and strength increase. 2 Sweet were His words, and kind His look, When mothers round Him press'd; Their infants in His arms He took, And on His bosom bless'd. Safe from the world's alluring harms, Beneath His watchful eye, Thus in the circle of His arms, May we for ever lie. 3 When Jesus into Salem rode, The children sang around; For joy they pluck'd the palms, and strow'd Their garments on the ground. Hosanna, our glad voices raise, Hosanna to our King! Should we forget our Saviour's praise, The stones themselves would sing. Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Languages: English
