O wondrous type, O vision fair

Author: Anon. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #253 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type, O vision fair Of glory that the Church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun He glows! 2 From age to age the tale declare, How with the three disciples there, Where Moses and Elias meet, The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 3 The law and prophets there have place, The chosen witnesses of grace; The Father's voice from our the cloud Proclaims His only Son aloud. 4 With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest today What glory shall to faith be given When we enjoy our God in heaven. 5 And Christian hearts are raised on high By that great vision's mystery, For which in thankful strains we raise On this glad day the voice of praise. 6 O Father, with th'eternal Son, And Holy Spirit, ever One, Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace To see Thy glory face to face.

How blesséd from the bonds of sin

Author: C.J.P. Spitta Hymnal: LHPN1913 #254 (1913) Lyrics: 1 How blessèd, from the bonds of sin And earthly fetters free, In singleness of heart and aim, Thy servant, Lord, to be! The hardest toil to undertake With joy at Thy command, The meanest office to receive With meekness at Thy hand! 2 With willing heart and longing eyes To watch before Thy gate, Ready to run the weary race, To bear the heavy weight; No voice of thunder to expect, But follow calm and still, For love can easily divine The One Beloved’s will. 3 Thus may I serve Thee, gracious Lord! Thus ever Thine alone, My soul and body given to Thee, The purchase Thou hast won; Through evil or through good report Still keeping by Thy side, And by my life or by my death Let Christ be magnified! 4 How happily the working days In this dear service fly! How rapidly the closing hour, The time of rest, draws nigh! When all the faithful gather home, A joyful company, And ever where the Master is, Shall His blest servants be.

Strive aright when God doth call thee

Author: J.J. Winkler Hymnal: LHPN1913 #255 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Strive aright when God doth call thee, When He draws the by His grace, Cast off all that would enthrall thee, And deter thee from the race. 2 Wrestle, till thy zeal is burning, And thy love is glowing warm, All that earth can give thee spurning-- Half love will not bide the storm. 3 Combat, though thy life thou givest, Storm the kingdom, but prevail; Let not him with whom thou strivest Ever make thee faint or quail. 4 Perfect truth will never waver, Wars with evil day and night, Changes not for fear or favor, Only cares to win the fight. 5 Perfect truth will love to follow Watchfully our Master's ways; Seeks not comfort poor and hollow, Looks not for reward or praise. 6 Perfect truth from worldly pleasure, Worldly turmoil, stands apart; For in heaven is hid our treasure, There must also be the heart. 7 Soldiers of the cross, take courage! Watch and war 'mid fear and pain; Daily conquering sin and sorrow, Till our King o'er earth shall reign.

Father, I know that all my life

Author: Anna L. Waring Hymnal: LHPN1913 #256 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Father, I know that all my life Is portioned out for me; The changes that are sure to come, I do not fear to see: I ask Thee for a present mind, Intent on pleasing Thee. 2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, Through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, To wipe the weeping eyes; A heart at leisure from itself To soothe and sympathize. 3 I would not have the restless will That hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do, Or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, And guided where I go. 4 Wherever in the world I am, In whatsoe'er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts To keep and cultivate; A work of lowly love to do For Him on whom I wait. 5 I ask Thee for the daily strength, To none that ask denied, A mind to blend with outward life, While keeping at Thy side, Content to fill a little space, If Thou be glorified. 6 In service which Thy will appoints There are no bonds for me; My secret heart is taught the truth That makes Thy children free; A life of self-renouncing love Is one of liberty.

Jesus, Master, whose I am

Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Hymnal: LHPN1913 #257 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Master, whose I am, Purchased Thine alone to be, By Thy blood, O spotless Lamb, Shed so willingly for me, Let my heart be all Thine own, Let me live for Thee alone. 2 Other lords have long held sway, Now Thy name alone to bear, Thy dear voice alone obey, Is my daily, hourly prayer; Whom have I in Heaven but Thee? Nothing else my joy can be. 3 Jesus, Master, I am Thine; Keep me faithful, keep me near; Let Thy presence in me shine All my homeward way to cheer. Jesus, at Thy feet I fall, O be Thou my all in all. 4 Jesus, Master, whom I serve, Though so feebly and so ill, Strengthen hand and heart and nerve All Thy bidding to fulfill; Open Thou mine eyes to see All the work Thou hast for me. 5 Lord, Thou needest not, I know, Service such as I can bring; Yet I long to prove and show Full allegiance to my King. Thou an honor art to me; Let me be a praise to Thee. 6 Jesus, Master, wilt Thou use One who owes Thee more than all? As Thou wilt! I would not choose; Only let me hear Thy call. Jesus, let me always be, In Thy service, glad and free. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima; The Church Year Sexagesima; Activity and Zeal; Following Christ Tune Title: [Jesus, Master, whose I am]

O One with God the Father

Author: W. W. How Hymnal: LHPN1913 #259 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O One with God the Father, In majesty and might, The brightness of His glory, Eternal Light of light, O'er this our home of darkness Thy rays are streaming now; The shadows flee before Thee; The world's true light art Thou. 2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly: O heavenly Light, arise, Dispel these mists that shroud us, And hide Thee from our eyes. We long to track the footprints That Thou Thyself hast trod: We long to see the pathway That leads to Thee, our God. 3 O Jesus, shine around us With radiance of Thy grace; O Jesus, turn upon us The brightness of Thy face. We need no star to guide us, As on our way we press, If Thou Thy light vouchsafest, O Sun of righteousness.

In the cross of Christ I glory
