O with due reverence let us all

On Sion and on Lebanon

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Sion and on Lebanon, On Carmel's blooming height, On Sharon's fertile plains, once shone The glory, pure and bright. 2 From thence its mild and cheering ray Stream'd forth from land to land; And empires now behold its day; And still its beams expand. 3 Its brightest splendours, darting west, Our happy shores illume; Our farther regions, once unblest, Now like a garden bloom; 4 But ah, our deserts deep and wild See not this heavenly light; No sacred beams, no radiance mild, Dispel their dreary night. 5 Thou, Who didst lighten Sion's hill, On Carmel Who didst shine, Our deserts let Thy glory fill, Thy excellence divine. 6 Like Lebanon, in towering pride, May all our forests smile; And may our borders blossom wide Like Sharon's fruitful soil Topics: Missions and Charities

Prayer is the soul's sincere desire

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 856 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Prayer is the soul's sincere desire Uttered or unexpressed; The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. 2 Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. 3 Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4 Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, And cry, "Behold he prays!" 5 Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of death,-- He enters heaven with prayer. 6 The saints, in prayer, appear as one In word, and deed, and mind; While with the Father and the Son Sweet fellowship they find. 7 Nor prayer is made by man alone; The Holy Spirit pleads; And Jesus, on the eternal throne For sinners intercedes. 8 Thou by Whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer Thyself hast trod; Lord, teach us how to pray.

Quiet Lord my froward heart

Appears in 249 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Quiet, Lord, my froward heart; Make me teachable and mild, Upright, simple, free from art; Make me as a little child, From distrust and envy free, Pleased with all that pleases Thee. 2 What Thou shalt to-day provide Let me as a child receive; What to-morrow may betide Calmly to Thy wisdom leave; 'Tis enough that Thou wilt care; Why should I the burden bear? 3 As a little child relies On a care beyond his own, Knows he's neither strong nor wise, Fears to stir a step alone, Let me thus with Thee abide, As my Father, Guard, and Guide.

Rejoice, rejoice, believers!

Appears in 332 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers! And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He will draw nigh; Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights are burning, Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Till, in your jubilations Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesu, now appear; Arise, thou Sun so long'd for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The days of earth's redemption, And ever be with Thee!

Resting from His work to-day

Appears in 77 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Resting from His work to-day In the tomb the Saviour lay; Still He slept, from head to feet Shrouded in the winding-sheet, Lying in the rock alone, Hidden by the sealèd stone. 2 Late at even there was seen Watching long the Magdalene; Early, ere the break of day, Sorrowful she took her way To the holy garden glade, Where her buried Lord was laid. 3 So with Thee, till life shall end, I would solemn vigil spend: Let me hew Thee, Lord, a shrine In this rocky heart of mine, Where in pure embalmèd cell, None but Thou may ever dwell. 4 Myrrh and spices will I bring, True affection's offering; Close the door from sight and sound Of the busy world around; And in patient watch remain Till my Lord appear again.

In lowly pomp ride on to die: O Christ, Thy triumphs now begin O'er captive death and conquer'd sin. 3 Ride on! ride on in majesty! The wingèd armies of the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see the approaching sacrifice. 4 Ride on! ride on in majesty! Thy last and fiercest strive is nigh; The Father on His sapphire throne Expects His own anointed Son. 5 Ride on! ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die; Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain, Then take, O God, Thy power and reign. Topics: Palm Sunday and Passion Week

Saviour, when in dust to Thee

Appears in 445 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, when in dust to Thee, Low we bow th'adoring knee; When, repentant, to the skies Scarce we lift our weeping eyes; O, by all Thy pains and woe Suffer'd once for man below, Bending from Thy throne on high, Hear our solemn litany. 2 By Thy birth and early years, By Thy human griefs and fears, By Thy fasting and distress In the lonely wilderness, By Thy victory in the hour Of the subtle tempter's power; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 3 By Thy conflict with despair, By Thine agony of prayer, By the purple robe of scorn, By Thy wounds, Thy crown of thorn, By Thy cross, Thy pangs, and cries, By Thy perfect sacrifice; Jesus, look with pitying eye; Hear our solemn litany. 4 By Thy deep expiring groan, By the seal'd sepulchral stone, By Thy triumph o'er the grave By Thy power from death to save; Mighty God, ascended Lord, To Thy throne in heaven restored, Prince and Saviour, hear our cry, Hear our solemn litany. Amen.
