We give Thee but Thine own

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 499 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We give Thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be: All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee. 2 May we Thy bounties thus As stewards true receive, And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first-fruits give. 3 O! hearts are bruised and dead And homes are bare and cold, And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled Are straying from the fold. 4 To comfort and to bless, To find a balm for woe, To tend the lone and fatherless, Is angels' work below. 5 The captive to release, To God the lost to bring, To teach the way of life and peace, It is a Christ-like thing. 6 And we believe Thy word, Though dim our faith may be; Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee.

Whate'er my God ordains is right

Meter: Irregular Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Whate'er my God ordains is right; His will is ever just; Howe'er He orders now my cause, I will be still and trust. He is my God; Though dark my road, He holds me that I shall not fall, Wherefore to Him I leave it all. 2 Whate'er my God ordains is right; He never will deceive; He leads me by the proper path, And so to Him I cleave, And take content What He hath sent; His hand can turn my griefs away, And patiently I wait His day. 3 Whate'er my God ordains is right; Though I the cup must drink That bitter seems to my faint heart, I will not fear nor shrink; Tears pass away With dawn of day; Sweet comfort yet shall fill my heart, And pain and sorrow shall depart. 4 Whate'er my God ordains is right; My Light, My Life is He, Who cannot will me aught but good; I trust Him utterly; For well I know, In joy or woe, We soon shall see, as sunlight clear, How faithful was our Guardian here. 5 Whate'er my God ordains is right; Here swill I take my stand, Though sorrow, need, or death make earth For me a desert land. My Father's care Is around me there, He holds me that I shall not fall, And so to Him I leave it all. Topics: Offices of the Church Visitation of the Sick

When, His salvation bringing

Appears in 423 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing Hosanna to His Name; Nor did their zeal offend Him, But, as He rode along, He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. Hosanna to Jesus they sang. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Though now as King He reigneth On Zion's heavenly hill; We'll flock around His banner Who sits upon the Throne, And cry aloud Hosanna To David's royal Son: Hosanna to Jesus we'll sing. 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer's praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Would their Hosannas raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No; while our hearts are tender, They too shall be the Lord's. Hosanna to Jesus, our King. Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism

When, marshall'd on the nightly plain

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 483 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, marshall'd on the nightly plain, The glittering host bestad the sky, One star alone of all the train Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 2 Hark, hark! to God the chorus breaks, From every host, from every gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks; It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 It is my guide, my light, my all, It bids my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger's thrall, It leads me to the port of peace. 4 Then, safely moor'd, my perisl o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem, For ever and for evermore, The Star, the Star of Bethlehem!

Who is this that comes from Edom

Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom, All His raiment stained with blood, To the slave proclaiming freedom, Bringing and bestowing good; Glorious in the garb He wears, Glorious in the spoils He bears? 2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious, Travelling onward in His might; 'Tis the Saviour, O how glorious, To His people, is the sight! Satan conquered, and the grave, Jesus now is strong to save, 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of His foes there's none remaining, None, the contest to maintain: Fallen they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor, reign for ever; Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never, Cease to sing what Thou hast done; Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou wilt heal Thy people's woes.

And is the time approaching

Appears in 61 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And is the time approaching, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one fold? Shall every idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown, And every prayer be offer'd To God in Christ alone? 2 Shall Jew and Gentile meeting From many a distant shore, Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore? Shall all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day? 3 Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union In a blest land of love? Shall war be learn'd no longer, Shall strife and tumult cease, All earth His blessèd kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace? 4 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten. The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on To pray, and hope, and labour, Till the dark night be gone. Topics: Missions and Charities

Angel bands, in strains sweet sounding

Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Angel bands, in strains sweet sounding, Anthems to the Saviour raise: Host of heaven, His throne surrounding, Hymn the great Creator's praise. 2 Radiant orb of day, adore him, Praise Him, thou who rul'st the night; Heaven of heavens, O bow before Him, Laud Him, all ye worlds of light. 3 Praise Him, wild and restless ocean Praise Him, monsters of the deep; Praise Him in your rude commotion, Storms that at His mandate sweep. 4 Hills and mountains, heavenward towering, Fires that in their bosom glow; Clouds around their cliffs dark lowering, Torrents down their steeps that flow; 5 Verdant fields and valleys blooming, Insect myriads own His care; Wild beasts through the forest roaming, Warbling tenants of the air. 6 Kings and rulers, shout His glory, People, join the laud acclaim, maidens, youth, and fathers hoary, Infants, lisp His holy Name. 7 Every kindred, tongue, and nation, Him Who gave you life adore; Earth and heaven, and all creation, Praise His Name for evermore.

Christ, Whose glory fills the skies

Appears in 483 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Christ, Whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true, the only light, Sun of Righteousness, arise! Triumph o'er the shades of night; Day-spring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear. 2. Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by Thee; Joyless is the day's return, Till Thy mercy's beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes, and warm my heart. 3. Visit then this soul of mine; Pierce the gloom of sin and grief; Fill me, Radiancy Divine; Scatter all my unbelief; More and more Thyself display, Shining to the perfect day.
