Lord, lead the way the Saviour went

Author: Rev. Wm. Croswell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 200 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went, By lane and cell obscure; And let love's treasures still be spent, Like His, upon the poor. 2 Like Him, through scenes of deep distress, Who bore the world's sad weight, We, in their crowded loneliness, Would seek the desolate. 3 For Thou hast placed us side by side, In this wide world of ill, And, that Thy followers may be tried, The poor are with us still. 4 Mean are all offerings we can make. But Thou hast taught us, Lord, If given for the Saviour's sake, They lose not their reward. Amen. Topics: Almsgiving Used With Tune: [Lord, lead the way the Saviour went]

All that I was, my sin, my guilt

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All that I was, my sin, my guilt, My death, was all my own; All that I am, I owe to Thee, My gracious God, alone. 2 The evil of my former state Was mine, and only mine; The good in which I now rejoice Is Thine, and only Thine. 3 The darkness of my former state, The bondage, all was mine; The light of life in which I walk, The liberty, is Thine. 4 Thy grace first made me feel my sin, It taught me to believe; Then in believing, peace I found, And now I live, I live. 5 All that I am, even here on earth, All that I hope to be, When Jesus comes and glory dawns, I owe it, Lord, to Thee.

Almighty God, in humble prayer

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 110 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty God, in humble prayer To Thee our souls we lift: Do Thou our waiting minds prepare For Thy most needful gift. 2 We ask not golden streams of wealth Along our path to flow; We ask not undecaying health, Nor length of years below. 3 We ask not honors, which an hour May bring or take away; We ask not pleasure, pomp, and power, Lest we should go astray. 4 We ask for wisdom:--Lord, impart The knowledge how to live; A wise and understanding heart To all before Thee give. 5 The young remember Thee in youth, Before the evil day! The old be guided by Thy truth In wisdom's pleasant way! Topics: The Christian Life Wisdom and Self-Knowledge Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT

Thrice happy souls, who, born of heaven

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 109 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thrice happy souls, who, born of heaven, While yet they sojourn here, Humbly begin their days with God, And spend them in His fear. 2 Midst hourly cares may love present Its incense to Thy throne; And while the world our hands employs, Our hearts be Thine alone! 3 When to laborious duties called, Or by temptations tried, We'll seek the shelter of Thy wings, And in Thy strength confide. 4 As different scenes of life arise, Our grateful hearts would be With Thee amid the social band, In solitude with Thee. 5 At night we lean our weary heads On Thy paternal breast, And safely folded in Thine arms, Resign our powers to rest. 6 In solid pure delights, like these, Let all my days be passed; Nor shall I then impatient wish, Nor shall I fear the last.

How Long Shall Death, The Tyrant, Reign?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals First Line: How long shall death, the tyrant reign Lyrics: 1 How long shall death, the tyrant reign, And triumph o’er the just, While the dear blood of martyrs slain Lies mingled with the dust? 2 When shall the tedious night be gone? When will our Lord appear? Our fond desires would pray Him down, Our love embrace Him here, 3 Let faith arise, and climb the hills, And from afar descry How distant are His chariot wheels, And tell how fast they fly. 4 Lo, I behold the scattering shades, The dawn of Heav’n appears, The sweet immortal morning spreads Its blushes round the spheres, 5 I see the Lord of glory come, And flaming guards around: The skies divide to make Him room, The trumpet shakes the ground. 6 I hear the voice, "Ye dead arise," And lo, the graves obey, And waking saints with joyful eyes Salute th’expected day. 7 They leave the dust, and on the wing Rise to the middle air, In shining garments meet their king, And low adore Him there. 8 O may my humble spirit stand Amongst them clothed in white! The meanest place at His right hand Is infinite delight. 0 How will our joy and wonder rise, When our returning king Shall bear us homeward through the skies On love’s triumphant wing!
