Far From Mortal Cares Retreating

Author: John Taylor Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 189 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Far from mortal cares retreating, Sordid hopes and fond desires, Here, our willing footsteps meeting, Every heart to Heav’n aspires. From the fount of glory beaming, Light celestial cheers our eyes; Mercy from above proclaiming Peace and pardon in the skies. 2 Who may share this great salvation? Every pure and humble mind; Every kindred, tongue and nation, From the dross of guilt refined: Blessings all around bestowing, God withholds His care from none; Grace and mercy ever flowing From the fountain of His throne. 3 Every stain of guilt abhorring, Firm and bold in virtue’s cause, Still Thy providence adoring, Faithful subjects to Thy laws. Lord! with favor still attend us, Bless us with Thy wondrous love; Thou, our sun and shield, defend us: All our hope is from above.

I Have Heard Thy Voice, Lord Jesus

Author: Edith G. Cherry, 1872-1897 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I have heard Thy voice, Lord Jesus, Saying in Thy grace divine: Fear thou not, I have redeemed thee; I have called thee, thou art Mine. Lord, I bring Thee full allegiance! Therefore now to Thee I sing, Answering, Yea, Thou hast redeemed me; I am Thine, my Lord, my king! 2. I have nothing worth Thy taking, Thou, whom heav’nly hosts adore, But my heart is longing, yearning, To be Thine forevermore. So I come to Thee, Lord Jesus, Laying in surrender meet All I am, and have, and hope for, All I love, at Thy dear feet. 3. Yet the offerings here are humble, Which Thy children bring to Thee, And their best and sweetest praises Are but rendered falteringly. But our song shall be triumphant, When Thy glory we shall see: All for Jesus! All for Jesus! Now and through eternity. Used With Tune: UPPSALA

Nearer Home

Author: Alice Cary Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 92 hymnals First Line: O'er the hills the sun is setting Lyrics: 1. O’er the hills the sun is setting, And the eve is drawing on; Slowly drops the gentle twilight, For another day is gone; Gone for aye—its race is over, Soon the darker shades will come; Still, ’tis sweet to know at even, We are one day nearer home. 2. Worn and weary, oft the pilgrim Hails the setting of the sun; For the goal is one day nearer, And the journey nearly done; Thus we feel when o’er life’s desert, Heart and sandal-sore we roam As the twilight gathers over us, We are one day nearer home. 3. Nearer home! yes, one day nearer, To our Father’s house on high— To the green fields and the fountains Of the land beyond the sky. For the heavens grow brighter over us, And the lamps hang in the dome; And our tents are pitched still closer, For we’re one day closer home. 4. One day nearer, sings the sailor, As he glides the waters o’er, While the light is softly dying On his distant native shore; Thus the Christian on life’s ocean As his light boat cuts the foam, In the evening cries with rapture— I am one day nearer home.

Where is Bread?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: "Where is bread?" the great crowd murmured-- Lyrics: “Where is bread?” the great crowd murmured— Thousands strong, yet all in need. “Where is bread?” your people wondered, Faced with such a crowd to feed. Who, Lord Jesus, could have guessed it? One small boy brought food to share. Taking what he gave, you blessed it; All were fed, with much to spare. Where is bread? We know their yearning; Every day, we wish for more. God, in time, we’re slowly learning: All we own can make us poor. Our possessions can possess us, Leaving hunger deep inside. Christ our Bread, come now and bless us; At your feast, we’re satisfied. “Where is bread?” the call is rising; Millions cry who must be fed. God, your answer seems surprising: “You, my Church, you give them bread.” Bread to fill each hungry spirit, Bread for hungry stomachs, too! Give us bread and help us share it. Richly blest, may we serve you. Topics: Eucharist/Lord's Supper; Jesus Christ; Justice Scripture: John 6:1-15 Used With Tune: IN BABILONE
