Heavenly Spirit, all others Transcending

Author: G. T. Rygh; Johan Nordahl Brun Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Spirit, all others transcending, Thou who with Father and Son dost abide! Come Thou, our spirits in unity blending, Come and make ready the heavenly bride! Calling and gathering, and Jesus declaring, Building God's Church, shedding light from above, Come, O Thou Spirit of God, never tiring. Come and interpret God's wonderful love! 2 Merciful Jesus, with love never failing, Sending Thy Spirit, the pledge ever new, That Thy atonement for all is availing, Faith ever sees that Thy promise is true. Crowned are Thy servants with heavenly fire, Speaking with hearts and with tongues all aflame; Heavenly Spirit, our voices inspire, That we may sing of His glorious name! 3 Heav'nly Consoler, with unction celestial, Heal Thou the wounds of each sin-burdened heart! Strengthen our faith, and with zeal Pentecostal Fill our faint souls, and Thy blessings impart! Create within us new hearts and new spirits; Lead us in truth, and sustain us in woe; Teach us true faith in the dear Savior's merits, So that at death we Thy power may know!

Love, the Fount of Light

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; C. Doving Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: Love, the fount of light from heaven Lyrics: 1 Love, the fount of light from heaven, Is the root and source of life; There-fore God’s decrees are given With His loving-kindness rife, As our Savior God declareth, And the Spirit witness beareth, As we in God’s peace do prove, God is light and God is love. 2 Love doth crown the life eternal, Love the brightness is of light, There-fore on His throne supernal Jesus sits in glory bright; He, the light and life of heaven, Who Himself for us hath given, Still abides and reigns above In His Father’s boundless love. 3 Love, alone the law fulfilling, Is the bond of perfectness, Love, who came a victim willing, Paid our debt and brought us peace; Therefore love and peace in union Ever grow in sweet communion, And thro' love we may abide One with Him who for us died.

Father, Let me Dedicate

Author: L. Tuttiett,1825-97 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, let me dedicate All this year to Thee, In whatever worldly state Thou wilt have me be. Not from sorrow, pain, or care, Freedom dare I claim; This alone shall be my prayer: Glorify Thy name. 2 Can a child presume to choose Where or how to live? Can a Father’s love refuse All the best to give? More Thou givest ev'ry day Than the best can claim; Nor withholdest aught that may Glorify Thy name. 3 If in mercy Thou wilt spare Joys that yet are mine; If on life, serene and fair, Brighter rays may shine, Let my glad heart, while it sings, Thee in all proclaim; And whate’er the future brings, Glorify Thy name. 4 If Thou callest to the cross, And its shadow come, Turning all my gain to loss, Shrouding heart and home: Let me think how Thy dear Son To His glory came, And in deepest woe pray on, "Glorify Thy name."

He that eateth ever liveth, For the Bread of life is He. 3 Fill thy lips to overflowing With sweet praise, His mercy showing Who this heavenly table spread: On this day so glad and holy, To each longing spirit lowly Giveth He the living bread. 4 Here the King hath spread His table Whereon eyes of faith are able Christ our Passover to trace: Shadows of the law are going, Light and life and truth inflowing, Night to day is giving place. 5 O good Shepherd, bread life-giving, Us, Thy grace and life receiving, Feed and shelter evermore; Thou on earth our weakness guiding. We in heaven with Thee abiding With all saints will Thee adore. Topics: The Church and Means of Grace The Lord's Supper; Opening Hymns Used With Tune: NAGLET TIL ET KORS

I know of a Sleep in Jesus' Name

Author: M. B. Landstad; Smeby; Doving; Kasberg Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I know of a sleep in Jesus' name, A rest from all toil and sorrow; Earth folds in her arms my weary frame, And shelters it till the morrow; My soul is at home with God in heaven, Her sorrows are past and over. 2 I know of a peaceful eventide; And when I am faint and weary, At times with the journey sorely tried, Through hours that are long and dreary; Then often I yearn to lay me down, And sink into blissful slumber. 3 I know of a morning bright and fair, When tidings of joy shall wake us, When songs from on high shall fill the air, And God to His glory take us, When Jesus shall bid us rise from sleep-- How joyous that hour of awaking! 4 Now opens the Father's house above, The names of the blest are given: Lord, gather us there; let none we love Be missed in the joys of heaven. Vouchsafe Thou us all a place with Thee; We ask through our dear Redeemer. 5 O Jesus, draw near my dying bed, And take me into Thy keeping, And say when my spirit hence is fled: This child is not dead, but sleeping." And leave me not, Savior, till I rise, To praise Thee in life eternal. Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Hope; Evening Used With Tune: DEN SIGNEDE DAG

I ought to Love my Savior

Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I ought to love my Savior; No earthly friend can be So loving, kind, and faithful As He hath been to me. Before my lips could utter His sweet and precious name, Until the present moment, His love hath been the same. 2 He left His home in glory To save my soul from death; And now in all life's dangers He still sustains my breath. I lay me down and slumber All through the hours of night, And wake again in safety To hail the morning light. 3 It is but very little For Him that I can do; Then let me seek to serve Him My earthly journey through; And without sigh or murmur, To do His holy will, And in my daily duties, His wise commands fulfill. 4 And when I reach the mansion He has prepared for me, 'Twill be my grateful pleasure My Savior's face to see; And 'mid the angels' music, Which then will greet my ear, How eagerly I'll listen My Savior's voice to hear.

Come ye Yourselves Apart and Rest

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile Lyrics: 1 Come ye yourselves apart and rest awhile, Weary, I know it, of the press and throng, Wipe from your brow the sweat and dust of toil, And in my quiet strength again be strong. 2 Come, tell Me all that ye have said and done, Your victories and failures, hopes and fears, I know how hardly souls are wooed and won; My choicest wreaths are always wet with tears. 3 Come ye, and rest; the journey is too great, And ye will faint beside the way and sink: The bread of life is here for you to eat, And here for you the wine of love to drink. 4 Then, fresh from converse with your Lord, return And work till daylight softens into even; The brief hours are not lost in which ye learn More of your Master and His rest in heaven.

I Cannot Always See the Way

Author: Gertrude Benedict Curtis Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I cannot always see the way that leads to heights above, And sometimes I forget He leads me on with hand of love, But yet I know the path must lead me to Immanuel's land, And when I leave life's summit I shall know and understand. 2 I cannot always trace the onward course my ship must take, But, looking backward, I behold afar its shining wake Illumined with God's light of love, and so I onward go, In perfect trust that He Who holds the helm the course must know. 3 I cannot always see the plan on which He builds my life, For oft the sound of hammers, blow and blow the noise of strife Confuse me till I quite forget He knows and oversees. And that in all details, with His good plan my life agrees. 4 I cannot always know and understand the Master's rule; I cannot always do the tasks He gives in life's hard school; But I am learning with His help to solve them, one by one. And when I cannot understand, to say Thy will be done. Topics: The Christian Life Trust and Confidence Used With Tune: I CANNOT ALWAYS SEE

Dayspring of Eternity

Author: J. R. Hopkins; Chr. K. Von Rosenroth Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dayspring of eternity, Brightness of the Father's glory, Dawn on us that we may see Clouds and darkness flee before Thee; Drive afar, with conquering might, All our night. 2 Let Thy grace, like morning dew, Fall on hearts in Thee confiding; Thy sweet comfort, ever new, Fill our souls with strength abiding, And Thy quick'ning eyes behold Thy dear fold. 3 Give the flame of love, to burn Till the bands of sin it breaketh, Till, at each new day's return, Purer light my soul awaketh: O ere twilight come, let me Rise to Thee. 4 Thou who hast gone up on high, Grant that, when Thy trumpet soundeth, When with glory, in the sky, Thee Thy cloud of saints surroundeth,-- We may stand among Thine own, Round Thy throne. 5 Light us to the golden shore, O Thou rising Sun of morning! Lead where tears shall flow no more, Where all sighs to songs are turning, Where Thy glory sheds alway Perfect day. Topics: Opening Hymns Used With Tune: DAYSPRING
