Thy will be done

Author: Charlotte Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 575 hymnals First Line: My God, my Father, while I stray Lyrics: 1 My God, my Father, while I stray Far from my home in life's rough way, O teach me from my heart to say, "Thy will be done." 2 Though dark my path, and sad my lot, Let me be still and murmur not, Or breathe the prayer Divinely taught, "Thy will be done." 3 What though in lonely grief I sigh For friends beloved, no longer nigh, Submissive still would I reply, "Thy will be done." 4 If Thou shouldst call me to resign What most I prize -- it ne'er was mine: I only yield Thee what was Thine -- "Thy will be done." 5 Let but my fainting heart be blest With Thy sweet Spirit for its Guest, My God, to Thee I leave the rest; "Thy will be done." 6 Renew my will from day to day, Blend it with Thine, and take away All that now makes it hard to say, "Thy will be done."

Angels from the realms of glory

Appears in 780 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 2 Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night; God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant-light: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 3 Sages, leave your contemplations; Brighter visions beam afar: Seek the great Desire of Nations, Ye have seen His natal star: Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King. 4 Saints before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear; Come and worship, Worship Christ, the new-born King.

As panting in the sultry beam

Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As panting in the sultry beam, The hart desires the cooling stream, So to Thy presence, Lord, I flee, So longs my soul, O God, for Thee; Athirst to taste Thy living grace, And see Thy glory face to face. 2 But rising griefs distress my soul, And tears on tears successive roll; For many an evil voice is near to chide my woe and mock my fear; And silent memory weeps alone O'er hours of peace and gladness flown. 3 For I have walked the happy round That 'circles Sion's holy ground, And gladly swell'd the choral lays That hymn'd my great Redeemer's praise, What time the hallow'd arches rung Responsive to the solemn song. 4 Ah, why, by passing clouds opprest, Should vexing thoughts distract thy breast? Turn, turn to Him, in every pain, Whom never suppliant sought in vain, Thy strength, in joy's ecstatic day, Thy hope, when joy has pass'd away.

Head of the hosts in glory!

Meter: Irregular Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Head of the hosts in glory! We joyfully adore thee, Thy Church below, Blending with those on high-- Where through the azure sky Thy saints in ecstasy For ever glow! 2 Angels! archangels! glorious Guards of the church victorious! Worship the Lamb! One of the Three by right-- Love, majesty, and might-- The great I AM! 3 Martyrs! whose mystic legions March o'er yon heavenly regions In triumph round: Wave high your banners, wave! Your God, our Saviour, clave For death itself a grave, In hell profound! 4 Saints! in fair circles, casting Rich trophies everlasting At Jesus' feet Amidst our rude alarms, We stretch forth suppliant arms, That we, too, safe from harms, In Heaven may meet! 5 Saviour! in glory beaming, With radiance brightly streaming, Enthroned in power, Grant, by Thy awful name, That we through flood and flame The Gospel may proclaim, Till life's last hour.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He's blest, whose sins have pardon gain'd No more in judgment to appear, Whose guilt remission has obtain'd And whose repentance is sincere. 2 No sooner I my wound disclosed, The guilt that tortured me within, But Thy forgiveness interposed, And mercy's healing balm pour'd in. 3 Sorrows on sorrows multiplied, The harden'd sinner shall confound; But them who in His truth confide, Blessings of mercy shall surround. 4 His saints that have perform'd His laws, Their life in triumph shall employ; Let them, as they alone have cause, In grateful raptures shout for joy.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,823 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. To Him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown his head; His Name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns, The prisoner leaps to loose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honours to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 504 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness My beauty are, my glorious dress, 'Midst flaming worlds, in these array'd, With joy shall I lift up my head. 2 Bold shall I stand in Thy great day, For who aught to my charge shall lay? Fully absolved through these I am, From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 3 When from the dust of death I rise To claim my mansion in the skies, E'en then this shall be all my plea-- Jesus hath lived, hath died for me. 4 Thou God of power, Thou God of love, Let the whole world Thy mercy prove; Now let Thy word o'er all prevail; Now take the spoils of death and hell.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 345 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, permit me not to be A stranger to myself and Thee: Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove, Forgetful of my highest love. 2 Why should my passions mix with earth, And thus debase my heavenly birth? Why should I cleave to things below, And all my purest joys forego? 3 Call me away from flesh and sense; Thy grace, O Lord, can draw me thence: I would obey the voice divine, And all inferior joys resign.
