This life's a dream, an empty show

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This life's a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere; When shall I wake and find me there? 2 O glorious hour! O blest abode! I shall be near and like my God, And flesh and sense no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul. 3 My flesh shall slumber in the ground Till the last trumpet's joyful sound; Then burst the chains with sweet surprise, And in my Saviour's image rise.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord

Appears in 404 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy way, not mine, O Lord, However dark it be: Lead me by Thine own hand, Choose out the path for me. Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to Thy Rest 2 I dare not choose my lot; I would not if I might: Choose Thou for me, my God; So shall I walk aright. Take Thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill As best to Thee may seem; Choose Thou my good and ill. 3 Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me, My poverty or wealth. Not mine, not mine the choice In things or great or small; Be Thou my guide, my strength, My wisdom, and my all. Topics: Offices of the Church Visitation of the Sick

We build with fruitless cost, unless

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We build with fruitless cost, unless The Lord the pile sustain; Unless the Lord the city keep, The watchman wakes in vain. 2 In vain we rise before the day, and late to rest repair, Allow no respite to our toil, And eat the bread of care. 3 Supplies of life, with ease to them, H eon His saints bestows; He crowns their labours with success, Their nights with safe repose.

When I survey the wondrous Cross

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2,046 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wondrous Cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. 2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the death of Christ my God! All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His Blood. 3 See, from His head, His hands, His feet, Sorrow and love flow mingled down! Did e'er such love and sorrow meet? Or thorns compose so rich a crown? 4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a tribute far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all.

With broken heart and contrite sigh

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With broken heart and contrite sigh A trembling sinner, Lord, I cry: Thy pardoning grace is rich and free O God, be merciful to me. 2 I smite upon my troubled breast, With deep and conscience guilt oppressed; Christ and His cross my only plea: O God, be merciful to me. 3 Far off I stand with tearful eyes, Nor dare uplift them to the skies; But Thou dost all my anguish see: O God, be merciful to me. 4 Nor alms, nor deeds that I have done, Can for a single sin atone; To Calvary alone I flee: O God, be merciful to me. 5 And when, redeemed from sin and hell, With all the ransomed throng I dwell, My raptured song shall ever be, God has been merciful to me.

With glory clad, with strength arrayed

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With glory clad, with strength arrayed, The Lord that o'er all nature reigns The world's foundations strongly laid, And the vast fabric still sustains. 2 How surely stablish'd is Thy throne! Which shall no change or period see; For Thou, O Lord, and Thou alone, Art God from all eternity. 3 The floods, O Lord, lift up their voice, And toss the troubled waves on high; But God above can still their noise, And make the angry sea comply. 4 Thy promise, Lord, is ever sure, And they that in Thy house would dwell, That happy station to secure, Must still in holiness excel.

Eternal Father, strong to save

Appears in 433 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Eternal Father! strong to save, Whose arm hath bound the restless wave, Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep: O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 2 O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walkedest on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 3 Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give for wild confusion, peace; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 4 O Trinity of love and power! Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go: Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Praise to God, who reigns above

Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise to God who reigns above, Binding earth and heaven in love; All the armies of the sky Worship His dread sovereignty. 2 Seraphim His praises sing, Cherubim on fourfold wing, Thrones, Dominions, Princes, Powers, Ranks of Might that never cowers. 3 Angel hosts His word fulfil, Ruling nature by His will; Round His throne Archangels pour Songs of praise for evermore. 4 Yet on man they joy to wait, All that bright celestial state, For true Man their Lord they see, Christ, the Incarnate Deity. 6 On the Throne our Lord Who died Sits in manhood glorified, Where His people faint below Angels count it joy to go.
