O Thou before whose presence

Author: S. J. Stone Hymnal: LHPN1913 #283 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O Thou before whose presence Naught evil may come in, Yet who dost look in mercy Down on this world of sin; Oh, give us noble purpose To set the sin-bound free, And Christ-like tender pity To seek the lost for Thee. 2 Fierce is our subtle foeman: The forces at his hand With woes that none can number, Despoil the pleasant land; All they who war against them, In strife so keen and long, Must in their Savior's armor Be stronger than the strong. 3 So hast Thou wrought among us The great things that we see: For things that are we thank Thee, And for the things to be. For bright hope is uplifting Faint hands and feeble knees, To strive beneath Thy blessing For greater things than these. 4 Lead on, O Love and Mercy, O Purity and Power, Lead on till peace eternal Shall close this battle-hour: Till all who prayed and struggled To set their brethren free, In triumph, meet to praise Thee, Most Holy Trinity.

Thy way and all thy sorrows

Author: P. Gerhardt Hymnal: LHPN1913 #284 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Thy way and all thy sorrows, Give thou into His hand, His gracious care unfailing, Who doth the heavens command; Their course and path He giveth To clouds and air and wind; A way thy feet may follow, He, too, for thee will find. 2 On Him be Thy reliance, As thou would'st prosper well; To make thy work enduring Thy mind on Him must dwell, God yieldeth naught to sorrow And self tormenting care; Naught, naught with Him availeth; No power save that of prayer. 3 Thy truth and grace, O Father, Behold and surely know, Both what is good and evil, For mortal man below: And whatsoe'er Thou choosest Thou dost, great God, fulfill, And into being bringest Whate'er is in Thy will. 4 Thy way is ever open; Thou dost on naught depend; Thine act is only blessing, Thy path light without end. Thy work can no man hinder; Thy purpose none can stay, Since Thou to bless Thy hildren Through all dost make a way. 5 In vain the powers of darkness Thy will, O God, oppose; High over all undoubting, Thy pleasure onward goes: Whate'er Thy will resolveth, Whate'er Thou dost intend, Its destined work performeth True to its aim and end. 6 Then hope, my feeble spirit, And be thou undismayed; God helps in every trial, And makes thee unafraid. Await God's time with pleasure, Then shall thine eyes behold The sun of joy and gladness His brightest beams unfold. 7 Arise, arise! thy sadness, Thy cares send far away; Away each thought afflicting That on the heart doth prey. Not in thy hands the guidance Of all events doth dwell; God on His throne o'erruleth, He guideth all things well. 8 Leave all to His direction; In wisdom He doth reign; Thy wonder far exceeding, He will His course maintain; So He as Him beseemeth, With wonder-working skill, Shall put away the sorrows, That now thy spirit fill. 9 Awhile His consolation He will to thee deny, And seem as though in spirit He far from thee would fly; Awhile distress and anguish Shall compass thee around, Nor to thy supplication An answ'ring voice be found. 10 But if thou ne'er forsake Him, Thou shalt deliverance find; Behold all unexpected, He will thy soul unbind. He from thy heavy burden Will soon thy heart set free; Yea, from that weight no evil Hath yet befallen thee. 11 Thou child of truth, how blesséd! A conqueror soon shalt be, With songs of glad thanksgiving A crown awaiteth thee. To thee the palm triumphal By God's own hand is giv'n, Thine, to His name who saved thee, To sing the songs of heaven. 12 Give, Lord, this consummation To all our hearts’ distress, Our hands, our feet, O strengthen, In death our spirits bless. Thy truth and Thy protection Forevermore we pray; With these in heavenly glory Shall end our certain way.

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah

Author: W. Williams. Hymnal: LHPN1913 #285 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim though this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand; Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me now and evermore. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing streams do flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through; Strong Deliverer,Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my strength and shield. 3 When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises, Songs of praises, I will ever give to Thee.

Give us each day our daily bread, And raiment fit provide. 4 O spread Thy sheltering wings around, Till all our wanderings cease.

O Savior, who in love didst take

Author: J. S. B. Monsell Hymnal: LHPN1913 #288 (1913) Lyrics: 1 O Savior, who in love didst take A human body, for our sake; To share with us the griefs of life, Its watchings, weariness, and strife: All that belong to man but sin, Thou didst this day Thyself begin. 2 Savior of infants, Thou didst rest, Helpless, upon Thy mother's breast; Savior of children, Thu didst play, And grow beside her, day by day. All human life to soothe and save, Up from the cradle to the grave. 3 Savior, as low as Thou didst bend From heaven to be the sinners' friend, So high our nature lift with Thine, Till human things become divine. And Thy eternal love once more God's image to the soul restore. 4 And when we cling too close to earth, Forgetful of our heavenly birth, And for the love of its poor dross, Despise Thy crown or shun Thy cross. O let this festal day reprove Such wrong to Thine incarnate love. Topics: The Church Year Fifth Sunday in Lent; The Church Year Fifth Sunday in Lent Tune Title: [O Savior, who in love didst take]

One sweetly solemn thought

Author: Phoebe Cary Hymnal: LHPN1913 #289 (1913) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 One sweetly solemn thought Comes to me o’er and o’er; Nearer to my home today am I Than e’er I’ve been before. 2 Nearer my Father’s house, Where many mansions be; Nearer today the great white throne, Nearer the crystal sea. 3 Nearer the bound of life Where burdens are laid down; Nearer to leave the heavy cross; Nearer to gain the crown. 4 But, lying dark between, Winding down through the night, There rolls the silent, unknown stream That leads at last to light. 5 Ev'n now, perchance, my feet, Are slipping over the brink, For I, to-day, am nearer home,-- Nearer now than I think. 6 Jesus, perfect my trust; Strengthen my spirit's faith; Nor let me stand, at last, alone Upon the shore of death.

On Mary, virgin undefiled

Author: Anon. ; H. Thomissön Hymnal: LHPN1913 #290 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.4.7 Lyrics: 1 On Mary, virgin undefiled, Did God bestow His favor; She bore a son, the spotless child, To Him be praise forever! He hath us all from sin set free; Our stay be He, And rest eternal give us! 2 Were all the sages here below All human wisdom showing, The mystery of Christ to know Were far beyond their knowing; For full of grace and truth is He; O may He be Our comfort in our dying! 3 Inspired of God the prophets spake, And faithful proved their saying, That Christ the bonds of sin doth break, Deliverance conveying To all by Satan's wiles enslaved; All shall be saved Who trust in Him, believing. 4 O Root of Jesse, David's Son, And Jacob's Star of heaven! Thou art the Christ, the blessed One; Thy name all praise be given: By grace Thou hast redeemed us all From Adam's fall, And Thou wilt guide and tend us. 5 O could I speak in every tongue, The Scripture's deep expounding, Were in my mouth the angel's song That through high heaven is sounding, I on my knees would humbly fall, On Jesus call, And worship Him forever! 6 My sins are countless as the sands, My crimes, O God, are crying, Deliver me from sin's dread bands And save me, Lord, when dying; O let me not, for evil past, Be lost at last, Grant me Thy grace, I pray Thee!

From east to west, from shore to shore

Author: C. Sedulius Hymnal: LHPN1913 #291 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 From east to west, from shore to shore, Let every heart awake and sing The Holy Child whom Mary bore, The Christ, the everlasting King. 2 Behold! the world's Creator wears The form and fashion of our frame; Our very flesh our Maker shares, To save a fallen world He came. 3 For this how wondrously He wrought! A maiden, in her lowly place, Became, in ways beyond all thought, The chosen vessel of His grace. 4 She bowed her to the angel's word, Declaring what the Father willed, And suddenly the promised Lord That pure and hallowed temple filled. 5 He shrank not from the oxen's stall, He lay within the manger bed, And He whose bounty feedeth all At Mary's breast Himself was fed. 6 And while the angels in the sky Sang praise above the silent field, To shepherds poor the Lord most high, The one great Shepherd, was revealed. 7 All glory for this blessed morn To God the Father ever be; All praise to Thee, O Virgin-born, All praise, O Holy Ghost, to Thee.

King most wonderful, Thou Conqueror renowned; Thou Sweetness most ineffable, In whom all joys are found! 2 When once Thou visitest the heart, The truth begins to shine; Then earthly vanities depart, Then kindles love divine. 3 O Jesus, light of all below! Thou Fount of life and fire! Surpassing all the joys we know, All that we can desire,-- 4 May every heart confess Thy name And ever Thee adore; And, seeking Thee, itself inflame To seek Thee more and more. 5 Thee may our tongues forever bless, Thee may we love alone; And ever in our lives express The image of Thine own.
