O God, unseen, yet ever near

Author: E. Osler Appears in 135 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, unseen yet ever near, Thy presence may we feel; And thus, inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. 2 Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy love; The streams that through the desert flow, The manna from above. 3 We come, obedient to Thy word, To feast on heavenly food; Our meat, the body of the Lord, Our drink, His precious blood. 4 Thus would we all Thy word obey, For we, O God, are Thine; And go rejoicing on our way, Renewed with strength divine.

O day full of grace, which we behold

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; Anon. Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day full of grace, which we behold, Now gently to view ascending; Thou over the earth thy reign unfold, Good cheer to all mortals lending, That children of light in every clime May prove that the night is ending. 2 How blest was that gracious midnight hour, When God in our flesh was given; Then flushéd the dawn with light and power, that spread o'er the darkened heaven; Then rose o'er the world that Sun divine Which gloom from our hearts hath driven. 3 Yes, were every tree endowed with speech, And every leaflet singing, They never with praise His worth could reach, Though earth with their praise were ringing. Who fully could praise the Light of life Who light to our souls is bringing? 4 As birds in the morning sing God's praise, His fatherly love we cherish, For giving to us this day of grace, For life that shall never perish. His Church He hath kept these thousand years, And hungering souls did nourish. 5 Pass on thy close, O Whit-Sunday, With sunlight about thee beaming, And scatter thy blessings on thy way, As brooks through the meadows streaming E'er leave in their wake the woods and fields In beauty and fruitfulness dreaming. 6 With joy we depart for our fatherland, Where God our Father is dwelling, Where ready for us His mansions stand, Where heaven with praise is swelling; And there we shall walk in endless light, With blest ones His praise forth telling.

The Lord my faithful shepherd is

Thou by Thy Spirit and Thy word Dost comfort and dost guide me; In death's dark vale I'll fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still, Thy rod and staff shall stay me. 5 Thou art my host; for me, Thy guest, A table Thou providest. Though foes be near, I am at rest, Thou still with me abidest. With oil anointest Thou my head; On me Thy blessing rich is shed, My cup with bliss o'erfloweth. 6 Thy goodness and Thy mercy, Lord, Shall follow me, attending The days Thou dost to me afford, Until they reach their ending: Thereafter shall I in Thy love Dwell in Thy house in heaven above Forever and forever.

To heaven we, too, shall rise, And, joys angelic sharing, Be where our treasure lies: There may each heart be found, Where Jesus Christ has entered! There let our hopes be centered, Our course still heavenward bound! 5 May we, His servants, thither In heart and mind ascend, And let us sing together,-- We seek Thee, Christ, our friend, Thee, God's anointed Son, Our life, and way to heaven, To whom all power is given, Our joy, and hope, and crown.

No sting of death is them molesting, For they have found the home of peace; In peace they sweetly rest, Forever they are blest, Hallelujah! Before God's throne to His dear Son Do follow them their works well done. 2 Glory, honor and thanksgiving, Be unto God the ever-living, And to the Lamb for sinners slain! Ransomed host that now victorious Have won the crown of life all glorious, Extol the Lamb, enthroned to reign! For us Himself He gave, He sank into the grave, He is risen! He went before, death's pathway o'er, We follow to the heavenly shore. 3 Sun nor moon their light are casting Where God in glory everlasting Dispels the gloomy shades of night; Now the wished-for day appeareth, O blessed sight, our souls it cheereth, The Lamb is now our sun and light! No more we weep or moan, The former things are gone, Hallelujah! Death's shades now flee, we rise to see The dayspring of eternity.
