There is a green hill far away

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #231 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell, What pains He had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin, He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly has He loved, And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming blood, And try His works to do.

Onward, Christian soldiers

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #232 (1871) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. Christ the Royal Master Leads against the foe, Forward into battle, See, His banners go. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 2 At the sign of triumph Satan's host doth flee; On, then, Christian soldiers, On to victory. Hell's foundations quiver At the shout of praise; Brothers, lift your voices, Loud your anthems raise. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 3 Like a mighty army Moves the Church of God; Brothers, we are treading Where the saints have trod; We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope, and doctrine, One in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 4 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain; Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that Church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. 5 Onward, then, ye people, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph-song; Glory, laud, and honour, Unto Christ the King, This through countless ages Men and Angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the Cross of Jesus Going on before. Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism Languages: English

Once in royal David's City

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #233 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's City Stood a lowly cattle-shed, Where a mother laid her Baby, In a manger for His bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, Who is God and Lord of all, And His shelter was a stable, And His cradle was a stall; With the poor, and mean, and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour Holy. 3 And, through all His wondrous childhood, He would honour and obey, Love, and watch the lowly maiden In whose gentle arms He lay; Christian children all must be Mild, obedient, good as He. 4 For He is our childhood's Pattern; Day by day like us He grew; He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us He knew; And He feeleth for our sadness, And He shareth in our gladness. 5 And our eyes at last shall see Him, Through His own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle Is our Lord in heaven above; And He leads His children on To the place where He is gone. 6 Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall see Him; but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high; When like stars His children crowned, All in white shall wait around.

O happy day that stays my choice

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #235 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O happy day, that stays my choice On Thee, my Saviour and my God; Well may this glowing heart rejoice, And tell Thy goodness all abroad. 2 O happy bond, that seals my vows To Him Who merits all my love! Let cheerful anthems fill His house, While to His sacred throne I move. 3 Here rest, my oft-divided heart, Fix'd on thy God, thy Saviour, rest; Who with the world would grieve to part When call'd on angels' food to feast? 4 High heaven that heard the solemn vow, That vow renew'd shall daily hear; Till in life’s latest hour I bow, And bless in death a bond so dear.

Jesus, I my cross have taken

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #236 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave, and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou, from hence, my all shalt be: Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'T will but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. O 't is not in grief to harm me, While Thy love is left to me; O 't were not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmix'd with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear; Think what Spirit dwells within Thee; Think what Father's smiles are thine; What a Saviour died to win thee: Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste then on from grace to glory, Arm'd by faith, and wing'd by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall cease thy earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope shall change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

My faith looks up to Thee

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #237 (1871) Meter: 6.4.6.4 Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to Thee, Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine! Now hear me while I pray; Take all my guilt away; O let me from this day Be wholly Thine. 2 May Thy rich grace impart Strength to my fainting heart, My zeal inspire; As Thou hast died for me, O may my love to Thee Pure, warm, and changeless be, A living fire. 3 While life's dark maze I tread, And griefs around me spread, Be Thou my Guide; Bid darkness turn to day; Wipe sorrow's tears away; Nor let me ever stray From Thee aside. 4 When ends life's transient dream, When death's cold, sullen stream Shall o'er me roll, Blest Saviour, then, in love, Fear and distrust remove; Oh, bear me safe above, A ransom'd soul.

Witness ye men and angels; now

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #239 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Witness, ye men and angels; now Before the Lord we speak; To Him we make our solemn vow, A vow we dare not break: 2 That long as life itself shall last, Ourselves to Christ we yield; Nor from His cause will we depart, Or ever quit the field. 3 We trust not in our native strength, But on His grace rely; That, with returning wants, the Lord Will all our needs supply. 4 Lord, guide our doubtful feet aright, And keep us in Thy ways; And, while we turn our vows to prayers, Turn Thou are prayers to praise.

Draw, Holy Ghost, Thy seven fold veil

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #240 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Draw, Holy Ghost, Thy seven-fold veil Between us and fires of youth; Breathe, Holy Ghost, Thy fresh'ning gale Our fevered brow in age to soothe. 2 For ever on our souls be traced This blessing from the Saviour's hand, A sheltering rock in memory's waste, O'ershadowing all the weary land.
