There is one way, and only one

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is one way, and only one, Out of our gloom, and sin, and care, To that fair land where shines no sun Because the face of God is there. 2 There is one truth, the truth of God, That Christ came down from heaven to show, One life that His redeeming blood Has won for all His saints below. 3 The lore, from Philip once concealed, To us is fully known in Christ; In Him the Father is revealed, And all our longing is sufficed. 4 And still unwavering faith holds sure The words that James wrote sternly down; Except we labour and endure, We cannot win the heavenly crown. 5 O Way divine, through gloom and strife, Bring us Thy Father's face to see; O heavenly Truth, O precious Life, At last, at last, to rest in Thee. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Philip and St. James Used With Tune: [There is one way, and only one]

Enter this temple, now Thine own, And let Thy glory fill the place. 2 We praise Thee that to-day we see Its sacred walls before Thee stand; 'Tis Thine for us; 'tis ours for Thee; Reared by Thy kind assisting hand. 3 Oft as returns the day of rest, Let heartfelt worship here ascend; With Thine own joy fill every breast, With Thine own power Thy word attend. 4 Here in the dark and sorrowing day, Bid Thou the throbbing heart be still; Oh, wipe the mourner's tears away, And give new strength to meet Thy will. 5 When round the Board Thine own shall meet, And keep the feast of dying love, Be our communion ever sweet With Thee, and with Thy Church above. 6 Come, faithful Shepherd, feed Thy sheep; In Thine own arms the lambs enfold; Give help to climb the heavenward steep, Till Thy full glory we behold.

O Thou Who madest land and sea

Author: Rev. Godfrey Thring Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who madest land and sea, And guidest all, in all their ways, Who hearest those who bring to Thee Their sacrifice of prayer and praise; Oh, hear Thy children as they bring Themselves a lowly offering! 2 Great God, Who with a Father's love Dost watch o'er all created things, And gatherest all, below, above, Beneath the shadow of Thy wings; Protect, we pray Thee, now, and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 3 Thou hearest still the eagle's cry, And notest e'en a sparrow's fall, Thy listening ear doth heed on high, And hearken to the raven's call; Then, heavenly Father, hear and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 4 Come, heavenly Father, come to-day, For we Thy children come to Thee, And Thou wilt never say us, nay, If come we in humility; New-born in Thee, O Father, bless Thy children who are fatherless. 5 Cast forth upon the barren strand Of this lone world, to Thee we fly; In faith and hope, we fain would stand Beneath Thy sheltering arm for aye; Stretch forth Thy hand ad pitying bless Thy children who are fatherless. 6 And may we all with joyful mind Our hearts as living offerings bring, The first-fruits of our life, to find A Father in our heavenly King; And learn in life and death to bless Thee, "Father of the fatherless."

Jerusalem, the golden!

What bliss beyond compare! 2 They stand, those halls of Sion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessèd Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they, who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blesséd country, The Home of God's elect! O sweet and blesséd country, That eager hearts expect! Jesu, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

O Lord, the Holy Innocents

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, the Holy Innocents Laid down for Thee their infant life, And martyrs brave and patient saints Have stood for Thee in fire and strife. 2 We wear the cross they wore of old Our lips have learned like vows to make; We need not die; we cannot fight; What may we do for Jesus' sake? 3 Oh, day by day each Christian child Has much to do, without, within; A death to die for Jesus' sake, A weary war to wage with sin. 4 When deep within our swelling hearts, The thoughts of pride and anger rise, When bitter words are on our tongues, And tears of passion in our eyes; 5 Then we may stay the angry blow, Then we may check the hasty word, Give gentle answers back again, And fight a battle for our Lord. 6 With smiles of peace and looks of love, Light in our dwellings we may make, Bid kind good-humor brighten there, And do all still for Jesus' sake. 5 There's not a child so weak and small But has his little cross to take, His little work of love and praise, That he may do for Jesus' sake. Amen. Topics: For Children Used With Tune: [O Lord, the Holy Innocents]
