O wondrous Conqueror and great

Author: E. C. Homburg Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.4.4.4.4.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O wondrous Conqueror and great, Scorned by the world Thou didst create, Thy work is all completed! Thy toilsome course is at an end; Thou to the Father dost ascend, In royal glory seated. Lowly, holy, now victorious, High and glorious: Earth and heaven To Thy rule, O Christ, are given. 2 Thou, Lord, art now our head, and we Thy members are, and draw from Thee Our life and full salvation. For comfort, peace, joy, light and power, For balm to heal in sorrow's hour, We yield Thee adoration. Kneeling, feeling, Thou art nearest, Lord, and dearest: we're receiving Grace surpassing our conceiving. 3 Lord Jesus, keep our eyes on Thee; Help us Thy servants true to be, Fulfilling Thy good pleasure, Set Thou our minds on things above, Let this vain world ne'er win our love, Be Thou our only treasure. Wholly, lowly, we would own Thee, And enthrone Thee: wisdom learning, All Thy perfect ways discerning. 4 Thou, Jesus, art our shield and guide, O let Thy words in us abide, Directing all our going. Teach us to love Thy blessed will, To suffer meekly and be still, Nor fear grief's tide o'erflowing. Weeping, keeping low before Thee, We adore Thee. 'Midst our sorrow, Lord, we hail the coming morrow. 5 Lord Jesus, hasten Thy return; Our longing hearts expectant yearn To prove the joys of heaven. Thy precious blood has set us free, We owe our present all to Thee, For us Thy life was given. Singing, bringing praise abounding Now we're sounding never-ending Triumph, Lord, in Thy ascending.

Now that the daylight fills the sky

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now that the daylight fills the sky, We lift our hearts to God on high, That He, in all we do or say, Would keep us free from harm to-day; 2 Would guard our hearts and tongues from strife, From anger's din would hide our life, From all ill sights would turn our eyes, And close our ears to vanities; 3 Would keep our inmost conscience pure, Our souls from folly would secure, Would bid us check the pride of sense With due and holy abstinence; 4 So we, when this new day is gone And night in turn is drawing on, With conscience by the world unstained, Shall praise His name for victory gained.

A pilgrim and a stranger

Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below, Far distant is my country, The home to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and oppressed, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 I've met with storms and danger, E'en from my early years, With enemies and conflicts, With fightings and with fears. There's nothing here that tempts me To wish a longer stay, So I must hasten forward, No halting or delay. 3 It is a well-worn pathway-- Many have gone before; Thy holy saints and prophets, The patriarchs of yore. They trod the toilsome journey In patience and in faith; And them I fain would follow, Like them in life and death. 4 Who would share Abraham's blessing, Must Abraham's path pursue. A stranger and a pilgrim, Like him, must journey through. The foes must be encountered, The dangers must be passed; Only a faithful soldier, Receive the crown at last. 5 So I must hasten forwards,-- Thank God, the end will come! This land of my sojourning Is not my destined home. That evermore abideth, Jerusalem above, The everlasting city, The land of light and love. 6 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee! Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace. 7 There I shall dwell for ever, No more a stranger guest, With all Thy blood-bought children In everlasting rest; The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before!

I need Thee, precious Jesus

Author: F. Whitfield Appears in 307 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within; I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, blessed Jesus; I need a friend like Thee, A friend to soothe and pity, A friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trial, And all my sorrows share. 4 I need Thee, blessed Jesus, And hope to see Thee soon, Encircled with the rainbow And seated on Thy throne: There, with Thy blood-bought children, My joy shall ever be, To sing Thy praise, Lord Jesus, To gaze, O Lord, on Thee.

Our thanks we bring In joy and praise, Our hearts we raise To heaven's high King. 2 The nation Thou hast blest May well Thy love declare, From foes and fears at rest, Protected by Thy care. For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay-- Gifts of Thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in Thy word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth! hear thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own, Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship Him alone; Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power He comes, O may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

A few more years shall roll

Author: H. Bonar Appears in 384 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb. A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time, And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime. 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while, And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away.

Fast fades the day

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 4.4.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: O watch and pray Lyrics: 1 O watch and pray, My soul, the way Of safety lies before thee; Lest thou shouldst be led astray, And the foe come o'er thee. 2 Use thou the word Of God, thy Lord; All else is unavailing; Every thought and passion guard With this shield unfailing. 3 O make thy choice The Spirit's voice When He comes to remind thee; Then shall peace thine heart rejoice, Satan get behind thee. 4 One secret thought With evil fraught, Which in the heart was cherished, Havoc of God's grace hath wrought, And the soul hath perished. 5 Our evil mind, To sin inclined, Is drawn by sin around us; If a wicked thought we mind, Satan soon hath bound us. 6 One word from hell Cast its foul spell On Adam with temptation; So by one man all men fell Under condemnation. 7 Each soul astray From Christ, the way, Should keep God's people humble; Jesus warns, "O watch and pray, Lest ye fall and stumble." 8 Be on your guard, Keep watch and ward Beware of Satan's cunning! Watch and pray and trust your Lord Till ye see Him coming!

O how shall I receive Thee

Author: P. Gerhardt Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How meet Thee on Thy way; Blest hope of every nation, My soul's delight and stay? Jesus, Jesus, give me, By Thine illuming light, To know whate'er is pleasing And welcome in Thy sight. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; And every soul awaking, Her anthem shall prepare; Perpetual thanks and praises Forth from our hearts shall spring; And to Thy name the service Of all our powers we bring. 3 O ye who sorrow, sinking Beneath your grief and pain, Rejoice in His appearing, Who shall your souls sustain: He comes, He come with gladness! How great is His good-will! He comes, all grief and anguish Shall at His word be still. 4 Ye who with guilty terror Are trembling, fear no more: With love and grace the Savior Shall you to hope restore; He comes, who contrite sinners Will with the children place, The children of His Father, The heirs of life and grace. 5 He comes, the Lord, to judgment; Woe, woe to them who hate! To those who love and seek Him He opes the heavenly gate. Come quickly, gracious Savior, And gather us to Thee, That in the light eternal Our joyous home may be.

Brethren, called by one vocation

Author: C.J.P. Spitta Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Brethren, called by one vocation, Members of one family, Heirs through Christ of one salvation, Let us live in harmony; Nor by strife embitter life, Journeying to eternity. 2 In a land where all are strangers, And our sojourning so short, In the midst of common dangers, Concord is our best support; Heart with heart divides the smart, Lightens grief of every sort. 3 Let us shun all vain contention Touching words and outward things, Whence alas! so much dissension And such bitter rancor springs; Troubles cease, where Christ brings peace And sweet healing of His wings. 4 Judge not hastily of others, But thine own salvation ind; Nor be captious to thy brother's, To thine won offenses blind; God alone discerns thine own, And the hearts of all mankind. 5 Let it be our chief endeavor, That we may the Lord obey, Then shall envy ease forever, And all hate be done away; Free from strife shall be his life Who serves God both night and day!
