There is an Eye that Never Sleeps

Author: James C. Wallace, 1793-1841 Hymnal: CCHS1916 #40 (1918) First Line: There is an eye that never sleeps Lyrics: 1 There is an eye that never sleeps Beneath the wing of night; There is an ear that never shuts When sink the beams of night. 2 There is an arm that never tires, When human strength gives way; There is a love that never fails, When earthly loves decay. 3 But there's a pow'r that man can wield When mortal aid is vain, That eye, that arm, that love to reach, That list'ning ear to gain. 4 That pow'r is prayer, which soars on high, Through Jesus, to the throne; And moves the hand which moves the world, To bring salvation down!

They Who Seek the Throne of Grace

Author: Oliver Holden, 1765-1844 Hymnal: CCHS1916 #41 (1918) Lyrics: 1 They who seek the throne of grace Find that throne in ev'ry place; If we live a life of prayer, God is present ev'rywhere. 2 In our sickness and our health, In our want, or in our wealth, If we look to God in prayer, God is present ev'rywhere. 3 When our earthly comforts fail, When the foes of life prevail, 'Tis the time for earnest prayer; God is present ev'rywhere. 4 Then, my soul, in ev'ry strait, To thy Father come, and wait; He will answer ev'ry prayer: God is present ev'rywhere.

From ev'ry Stormy Wind that Blows

Author: Hugh Stowell Hymnal: CCHS1916 #42 (1918) Lyrics: 1 From ev'ry stormy wind that blows, From ev'ry swelling tide of woes, There is a calm, a sure retreat: 'Tis found beneath the mercy-seat. 2 There is a place where Jesus sheds The oil of gladness on our heads, A place than all beside more sweet; It is the blood-bought mercy-seat. 3 There is a spot where spirits blend, Where friend holds fellowship with friend; Tho' sundered far, by faith they meet Around one common mercy-seat. 4 There, there, on eagle's wing we soar, And time and sense seem all no more, And heav'n comes down, our souls to greet, And glory crowns the mercy-seat.

My God is any Hour so Sweet

Author: Charlotte Elliott Hymnal: CCHS1916 #43 (1918) Lyrics: 1 My God is any hour so sweet, From blush of morn to evening star, As that which calls me to Thy feet, The hour of prayer? 2 Blest is that tranquil hour of morn, And blest that solemn hour of eve, When, on the wings of prayer upborne, The world I leave. 3 Then is my strength by Thee renewed; Then are my sins by Thee forgiven; Then dost Thou cheer my solitude With hopes of heaven. 4 No words can tell what sweet relief Here for my ev'ry want I find, What strength for warfare, balm for grief, What peace of mind. 5 Hushed is each doubt, gone every fear, My spirit seems in heaven to stay, And e'en the penitential tear Is wiped away. 6 Lord, till I reach that blissful shore, No privilege so dear shall be As thus my inmost soul to pour In prayer to Thee.

Watch, my Soul, and Pray

Author: J. O. Wallin, 1779-1839 Hymnal: CCHS1916 #45 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Watch, my soul, and pray; Cast all sloth away! Watch, the tempter's snares are nearest, Where the danger least thou fearest, Such is e'er His way: Watch, my soul, and pray! 2 Watch and pray, my soul, Flesh and blood control; When the world, with tempting story, Points to pleasure, wealth, and glory, Be not led astray: Watch, my soul, and pray! 3 See the goodly land On the other strand; See God's people, thither tending, Thro' the sea and desert wending, Led by Joshua's hand: Seek the goodly land! 4 Through thy pilgrimage, Guard thy heritage; Pray and fight, on Christ relying, Live to Him, thyself denying; Onward to the goal: Win the crown, my soul! 5 Watch and fight and pray, Through this mortal day; Soon thy Canaan thou attainest, Soon thy crown and palm thou gainest; Peace is won for aye: Watch, my soul, and pray!

Built on the Rock the Church

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: CCHS1916 #46 (1918) First Line: Built on the Rock the Church doth stand Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in ev'ry land, Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distrest, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands, God, the Most High, is not dwelling, High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling: Yet He whom heav'ns cannot contain Chose to abide on earth with men-- Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Builded for His habitation; He thro' baptismal grace us owns, Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Still we our earthly temples rear, That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces; Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His cov'nant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. 5 Here stands the font before our eyes Telling how God did receive us; Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, to-day the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. 6 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam, That when the church bells are ringing, Many in Jesus' faith may come Where He His message is bringing: I know mine own, mine own know me, Ye, not the world, my face shall see: My peace I leave with you, Amen.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone, 1839-1901 Hymnal: CCHS1916 #47 (1918) Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation, By water and the word: From heav'n He came and sought her To be His holy Bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, Yet one o'er all the earth; Her charter of salvation, One Lord, one Faith, one birth; One holy Name she blesses, Partakes one holy food; And to one hope she presses, With ev'ry grace endued. 3 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious, Shall be the Church at rest. 4 Yet she on earth hath union With God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: Oh, happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace, that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Topics: The Church and Means of Grace The Church; Missions Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA

Glorious Things of Thee are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: CCHS1916 #48 (1918) Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken, Form'd thee for His own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint, while such a river Ever flows their thirst t'assuage. Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, See the cloud and fire appear For a glory and a cov'ring, Showing that the Lord is near; Thus they march, the pillar leading. Light by night and shade by day; Daily on the manna feeding Which He gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I, thro' grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.

Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: Sabine-Baring Gould; B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: CCHS1916 #49 (1918) First Line: Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Lyrics: 1 Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, thro' the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless thro' the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Bright'ning all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain the lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.
