O would, my God, that I could praise Thee

Author: J. Mentzer Hymnal: LHPN1913 #443 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O would, my God, that I could praise Thee With thousand tongues, by day and night! How many a song my lips should raise Thee, Who order'st all things here aright! My thankful heart would ever be Telling what God hath done for me. 2 O all ye powers that He implanted, Arise, keep silence thus no more, Put forth the strength that He hath granted, Your noblest work is to adore; O soul and body, make ye meet With heartfelt praise your Lord to greet. 3 Ye forest leaves so green and tender, That dance for joy in summer air; Ye meadow-grasses bright and slender, Ye flowers so wondrous sweet and fair; Ye live to show His praise alone, Help me to make His glory known. 4 O all things that have breath and motion; That throng with life, earth, sea, and sky, Now join me in my heart's devotion, Help me to raise His praises high. My utmost powers can ne'er aright Declare the wonders of His might. 5 But I will tell, while I am living, His goodness forth with every breath, And greet each morning with thanksgiving, Until my heart is still in death. Nay, when at last my lips grow cold, His praise shall in my sighs be told. O Father, deign Thou, I beseech Thee, To listen to my earthly lays; A nobler strain in heaven shall reach Thee, When I with angels hymn Thy praise, And learn amid their choirs to sing Loud Hallelujahs to my King.

O Jesus, Lord of heavenly grace

Author: Ambrose of Milan (340-397) Hymnal: LHPN1913 #444 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Lord, of heavenly grace, Thou brightness of Thy Father's face, Thou fountain of eternal light, Whose beams disperse the shades of night. 2 Come, holy sun of heavenly love, Send down Thy radiance from above; And to our inward hearts convey The Holy Spirit's cloudless ray. 3 And we the Father's help will claim, And sing the Father's glorious name: His powerful succor we implore, That we may stand, to fall no more. 4 May He our actions deign to bless, And loose the bonds of wickedness; From sudden falls our feet defend, And guide us safely to the end. 5 May faith, deep rooted in the soul, The flesh subdue, our minds control; May guile depart, and discord cease, And all within be joy and peace. 6 O hallowed thus be every day! Let meekness be our morning ray, And faithful love our noonday light, And hope our sunset, calm and bright. 7 O Christ, with each returning morn, Thine image to our hearts is borne; O may we ever clearly see Our Savior and our God in Thee!

Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures

Author: H. A. Brorson; J. Scheffler Hymnal: LHPN1913 #445 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Begone! vain world, with all thy pleasures, And keep thy joys far from my sight; In thee and in thy tempting treasure My soul no longer finds delight. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 2 He is my glory and my treasure, My wisdom and my soul's delight, In Him I find my sweetest pleasure And all my comfort day and night. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 3 In weakness He my strength abideth, He comforts me, when sad my lot; In gloom of death He light provideth, In death as life He fails me not. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 4 He rules on high, His throne shall never Like earthy empires pass away, His kingdom stands and grows forever, Till all creation owns His sway. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 5 He is the fairest--all excelling-- He whom the world refused to know, His riches are beyond all telling, And these He doth on me bestow. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone. 6 Now let me be despised, forsaken, And in a humble state remain, Soon I to glory shall be taken, And with my Savior ever reign. The world may seek and love its own: I love my Jesus, Him alone.

O for a thousand tongues to sing

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: LHPN1913 #446 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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.

Love, the fount of light from heaven

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: LHPN1913 #448 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Love, the fount of light from heaven, Is the root and source of life; Therefore God’s decrees are given With His loving-kindness rife. As our Savior God declareth, And the Spirit witness beareth, As we in God’s peace do prove, God is light and God is love. 2 Love doth crown the life eternal, Love the brightness is of light, Therefore on His throne supernal Jesus sits in glory bright; He, the Light and Life of heaven, Who Himself for us hath given, Still abides and reigns above In His Father’s boundless love. 3 Love, alone the law fulfilling, Is the bond of perfectness, Love, who came a victim willing, Paid our debt and brought us peace; Therefore love and peace in union Ever grow in sweet communion, That through love we may abide One with Him who for us died.

Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us

Author: Eliza S. Alderson Hymnal: LHPN1913 #449 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, Thou hast bought us With Thy life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice, And with that hast freely given Blessings countless as the sand, To th'unthankful and the evil With Thine own unsparing hand. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to yield Thee, Gladly, freely of Thine own; With the sunshine of Thy goodness Melt our thankless hearts of stone; Till our cold and selfish natures, Warmed by Thee, at length believe That more happy and more blessed 'Tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor hast Thou given To our humblest charity In Thine own mysterious sentence, "Ye have done it unto Me." Can it be, O gracious Master, Thou dost deign for alms to sue, Saying, by Thy poor and needy, "Give as I have given to you?" 4 Lord of glory, who hast bought us With Thy life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith, to trust Thee boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on Thee; But, O best of all Thy graces, Give us Thine own charity.

Come, brethren, let us hasten on!

Author: G. Tersteegen Hymnal: LHPN1913 #451 (1913) Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, brethren, let us hasten on! The evening closeth round, 'Tis perilous to linger here On this wild desert ground. Come, toward eternity, Press on from strength to strength, Nor dread your journey's toil and length, For good its end shall be. 2 We shall not sue our final choice, Though straight our path and steep; We know that He who called us here, His word shall ever keep. Then follow, trusting, come, And let each set his face Toward yonder fair and blessed place, Intent to reach our home. 3 Come, children, let us unward go! We travel hand in hand; Each in his brother find his joy In this wild stranger land. As children let us be, Nor by the way fall out, The angels guard us round about, And help us brotherly. 4 Let all the strong be quick to raise The weaker when they fall; Let love and peace and patience bloom In ready help for all. In love yet closer bound, Each would be least, yet still On love's fair path most pure from ill, Most loving would be found. 5 Come, brothers, wander on with joy, For shorter grows the way, The hour that frees us from the flesh Draws nearer day by day. A little truth and love, A little courage yet, More free from earth, more apt to set Your hopes on things above. 6 It will not last for very long, A little farther roam; It will not last much longer now Ere we shall reach our home; There shall we ever rest, There with our Father dwell, With all the saints who served Him well, There truly, deeply blest. 7 Friend of our dear and perfect choice, Thou joy of all that live, Being that know'st not chance or change, What courage dost thou give! All beauty, Lord, we see, All bliss and life and love, In Him in whom we live and move, And we are glad in Thee.

Who givest all

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: LHPN1913 #452 (1913) Meter: 8.8.8.4 First Line: O Lord of heaven and earth and sea Lyrics: 1 O Lord of heaven and earth and sea, To Thee all praise and glory be; How shall we show our love to Thee, Who givest all? 2 The golden sunshine, vernal air, Sweet flowers and fruit, Thy love declare; Where harvests ripen, Thou art there, Who givest all. 3 For peaceful homes, and healthful days, For all the blessings earth displays, We owe Thee thankfulness and praise, Who givest all. 4 Thou didst not spare Thine only Son, But gav'st Him for a world undone, And freely with that blessed One Thou givest all. 5 Thou giv'st the Spirit's holy dower, Spirit of life, and love, and power, And dost His sevenfold graces shower Upon us all. 6 For souls redeemed, for sins forgiven, For means of grace and hopes of heaven, What can to Thee, O Lord, be given, Who givest all? 7 We lose what on ourselves we spend, We have, as treasure without end Whatever, Lord, to Thee we lend, Who givest all. 8 Whatever Lord, we lend to Thee, Repaid a thousand fold will be; Then gladly will we give to Thee Who givest all,-- 9 To Thee, from whom we all derive, Our life, our gifts, our power to give; O may we ever with Thee live, Who givest all!
