The morning light is breaking

Author: S. F. Smith Appears in 1,179 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking; The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking To penitential tears; Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war. 2 See heathen nations bending Before the God we love, And thousand hearts ascending In gratitude above; While sinners, now confessing, The gospel call obey, And seek the Savior's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thy onward way; Flow thou to every nation, Nor in thy richness stay: Stay not till all the lowly Triumphant reach their home: Stay not till all the holy Proclaim, "The Lord is come!"

Why those fears? Behold, 'tis Jesus

Author: A.H. Mann Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why those fears? Behold, 'tis Jesus Holds the helm and guides the ship: Spread the sails, and catch the breezes Sent to waft us through the deep; To the regions Where the mourners cease to weep. 2 Though the shore we hope to land on Only by report is known, Yet we freely all abandon, Led by that report alone; And with Jesus Through the trackless deep move on. 3 Led by that, we brave the ocean; Led by that, the storms defy; Calm amidst tumultuous motion, Knowing that our Lord in nigh: Waves obey Him, And the storms before Him fly. 4 O what pleasures there await us: There the tempests cease to rear; There it is that those who hate us Can molest our peace no more; Trouble ceases On that tranquil happy shore.

Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs

Author: E.H. Bickersteth Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not worthy, Lord, to gather up the crumbs With trembling hand that from Thy table fall, A weary, heavy-laden sinner comes To plead Thy promise and obey Thy call. 2 I am not worthy to be thought Thy child, Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board; Too long a wanderer, and too oft beguiled, I only ask one reconciling word. 3 One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look, And I could face the cold, rough world again; And with that treasure in my heart could brook The wrath of devils and the scorn of men. 4 And is not mercy Thy prerogative-- Free mercy, boundless, fathomless, divine? Me, Lord, the chief of sinners, me forgive, And Thine the greater glory, only Thine. 5 I hear Thy voice; Thou bidst me come and rest; I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy piercéd feet; Thou bidst me take my place, a welcome guest Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat. 6 My praise can only breathe itself in prayer. My prayer can only lose itself in Thee; Dwell Thou for ever in my heart, and there, Lord, let me sup with Thee; sup Thou with me.

Now have I found the ground wherein

Author: J. A. Rothe Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now I have found the ground wherein Sure my soul’s anchor may remain-- The wounds of Jesus, for my sin Before the world’s foundation slain; Whose mercy shall unshaken stay, When heaven and earth are fled away. 2 Father, Thine everlasting grace Our scanty thought surpasses far, Thy heart still melts with tenderness, Thy arms of love still open are, Returning sinners to receive, That mercy they may taste and live. 3 O Love, Thou bottomless abyss, My sins are swallowed up in Thee! Covered is my unrighteousness, Nor spot of guilt remains on me, While Jesus’ blood, through earth and skies Mercy, free, boundless mercy! cries. 4 With faith I plunge me in this sea, Here is my hope, my joy, my rest; Hither, when hell assails, I flee, I look into my Savior’s breast: Away, sad doubt and anxious fear! Mercy is all that’s written there. 5 Though waves and storms go o’er my head, Though strength, and health, and friends be gone, Though joys be withered all and dead, Though every comfort be withdrawn, On this my steadfast soul relies-- Father, Thy mercy never dies! 6 Fixed on this ground will I remain, Though my heart fail and flesh decay; This anchor shall my soul sustain, When earth’s foundations melt away: Mercy’s full power I then shall prove, Loved with an everlasting love.

Abide with me! fast falls the eventide

Author: H. F. Lyte Appears in 1,722 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! fast falls the eventide; The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O Thou who changest not, abide with me! 3 Not a brief glance, I beg, a passing word, But as thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 4 Come, not in terrors as the King of kings, But kind and good, with healing on Thy wings; Tears for all woes, a heart for evrry plea; O Friend of sinners, thus abide with me! 5 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile, And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile, Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee: On to the close, O Lord, abide with me! 6 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me! 7 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me! 8 Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes, Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies, Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

O for a thousand tongues to sing

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,771 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer's praise, The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace! 2 My gracious Master and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread, through all the earth abroad, The honors of Thy name. 3 Jesus! the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears; 'Tis life, and health, and peace. 4 He breaks the power of reigning sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me. 5 He speaks, and, listening to His voice, New life the dead receive; The mournful, broken hearts rejoice; The humble poor believe.

O God, the Rock of Ages

Author: E. H. Bickersteth Appears in 202 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, the Rock of Ages, Who evermore hast been, What time the tempest rages, Our dwelling place serene; Before Thy first creations, O Lord, the same as now, To endless generations The Everlasting Thou! 2 Our years are like the shadows On sunny hills that lie, Or grasses in the meadows That blossom but to die; A sleep, a dream, a story By strangers quickly told, An unremaining glory Of things that soon are old. 3 O Thou, who canst not slumber, Whose light grows never pale, Teach us aright to number Our years before they fail; On us Thy mercy lighten, On us Thy goodness rest, And let Thy Spirit brighten The hearts Thyself hast blessed. 4 Lord, crown our faith's endeavor With beauty and with grace, Till, clothed in light for ever, We see Thee face to face; A joy no language measures, A fountain brimming o'er, An endless flow of pleasures, An ocean without shore.

A mighty fortress is our God

Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.6.6.7 Appears in 686 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A mighty fortress is our God, A trusty shield and weapon; Our help is He in all our need, Our stay whate'er doth happen; For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe; Strong mail of craft and power He weareth in this hour; On earth is not his equal. 2 Stood we alone in our own might, Our striving would be losing; For us the one true Man doth fight, The Man of God's own choosing. Who is this chosen One? 'Tis Jesus Christ, the Son, The Lord of hosts, 'tis He Who wins the victory In every field of battle. 3 And were the world with devils filled, All watching to devour us. Our souls to fear we need not yield, They cannot overpower us; Their dreaded prince no more Can harm us as of yore; His rage we can endure; For lo! his doom is sure, A word shall overthrow him. 4 Still must they leave God's word its might, For which no thanks they merit; Still is He with us in the fight, With His good gifts and Spirit. And should they, in the strife, Take kindred, goods, and life, We freely let them go, They profit not the foe; With us remains the kingdom.
