Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings

Author: R. Seagrave Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 808 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things, Toward heaven, thy native place. Sun, and moon, and stars decay; Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So a soul that’s born of God Pants to view His glorious face; Upward tends to His abode, To rest in His embrace. 3 Cease, my soul, O cease to mourn! Press onward to the prize; Soon thy Savior will return, To take thee to the skies; There is everlasting peace, Rest, enduring rest in heaven, There will sorrow ever cease, And crowns of joy be given.

Come, let us join our friends above

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 348 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above That have obtained the prize, And on the eagle wings of love To joys celestial rise; Let all the saints terrestrial sing, With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King, In earth and heaven, are one. 2 One family we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death; One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of His host hath crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 3 Ten thousand to their endless home This solemn moment fly; And we are to the margin come, And we expect to die: His militant, embodied host, With wistful looks we stand, And long to see that happy coast, And reach that heavenly land, 4 Our old companions in distress We haste again to see, And eager long for our release And full felicity: E'en now by faith we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the blood-besprinkled bands On the eternal shore. 5 Our spirits, too, shall quickly join, Like theirs with glory crowned, And shout to see our Captain's sign, To hear His trumpet sound. O that we now might grasp our Guide! O that the word were given! Come, Lord of Hosts, the waves divide, And land us all in heaven.

Thy way and all thy sorrows

Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 10 hymnals 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.

Jesus, Master, whose I am

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.

The abyss of many a former sin

Author: Joseph of the Studium Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The abyss of many a former sin Encloses me, and bars me in: Like billows my transgressions roll-- Be Thou the pilot of my soul; And to salvation’s harbor bring, Thou Savior and Thou glorious King! 2 My Father’s heritage abused, Wasted by lust, by sin misused; To shame and want and misery brought, The slave to many a fruitless thought:-- I cry to Thee, who lovest men, O pity and receive again! 3 In hunger now, no more possessed Of that my portion bright and blest, The exile and the alien see, Who yet would fain return to Thee! Accept me, Lord, I seek Thy grace; And let me see a Father's face! 4 With that blest thief my prayer I make, Remember for Thy mercy’s sake! With that poor publican I cry, Be merciful, O God most high! With that lost prodigal I fain Back to my home would turn again! 5 Mourn, mourn, my soul, with earnest care, And raise to Christ the contrite prayer:— O Thou who freely wast made poor, My sorrows and my sins to cure, Me, poor of all good works, embrace, Enriching with Thy boundless grace!

Wilt Thou mercy show to me? Can I hope to find a pardon? I will trust: my soul relieve! Me, a sinner, Lord, receive! 6 Rich thy mercy--strangely good! O how oft have I offended! But, through Thy redeeming blood All my fear of wrath is ended: Yes, I now can witness give: Jesus sinners doth receive! 7 Now my conscience is at peace; From the Law I stand acquitted; Christ hath purchased my release, And my every sin remitted.
