And Is The Gospel Peace And Love?

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 195 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And is the Gospel peace and love? Such let our conversation be; The serpent blended with the dove, Wisdom and meek simplicity. 2 Whene’er the angry passions rise, And tempt our thoughts or tongues to strife, To Jesus let us lift our eyes, Bright pattern of the Christian life! 3 O how benevolent and kind! How mild! how ready to forgive! Be this the temper of our mind, And these the rules by which we live. 4 To do His heavenly Father’s will, Was His employment and delight; Humility and holy zeal Shone through His life, divinely bright! 5 Dispensing good where’er He came, The labors of His life were love; O, if we love the Savior’s name, Let His divine example move. 6 But ah, how blind! how weak we are! How frail! how apt to turn aside! Lord, we depend upon Thy care, And ask Thy Spirit for our guide. 7 Thy fair example may we trace, To teach us what we ought to be; Make us by Thy transforming grace, Dear Savior, daily more like Thee.

When Israel out of Egypt Went

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt went, from people of a speech unknown, the LORD among His people dwelt, and there He set His royal throne. 2 The sea beheld and fled away, the Jordan's waters backward turned, the lofty mountains and the hills with trembling awe our God discerned. 3 What aileth thee, O troubled sea? Thou Jordan, why thy riven tide? Ye mountains and ye little hills, why thus dismayed on every side? 4 O tremble, earth, before the LORD, in presence of Jehovah fear, beneath whose touch the flinty rock became a fount of waters clear.

What Star Is This?

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 95 hymnals First Line: What star is this, with beams so bright Lyrics: 1 What star is this, with beams so bright, more lovely than the noonday light? ’Tis sent to announce a newborn King, glad tidings of our God to bring. 2 ’Tis now fulfilled what God decreed: “From Jacob shall a star proceed”; And lo! the eastern sages stand, to read in heav'n the Lord’s command. 3 While outward signs the star displays, an inward light the Lord conveys, and urges them, with force benign, to seek the Giver of the sign. 4 O while the star of heav'nly grace invites us, Lord, to seek thy face, may we no more that grace repel, or quench that light which shines so well. 5 To God the Father, God the Son, and Holy Spirit, Thee in one, may ev'ry tongue and nation raise an endless song of thankful praise.

Dear Savior, if These Lambs Should Stray

Author: Abigail B. Hyde Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Dear Savior, if these lambs should stray, From Thy secure enclosure’s bound, And, lured by worldly joys away, Among the thoughtless crowd be found, 2. Remember still that they are Thine, That Thy dear sacred name they bear, Think that the seal of love divine The sign of covenant grace they wear. 3. In all their erring, sinful years, Oh, let them ne’er forgotten be; Remember all the prayers and tears Which made them consecrate to Thee. 4. And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Turn Thou their feet from folly’s way, The wanderers to Thy fold restore.

When Sins And Fears Prevailing Rise

Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 162 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When sins and fears prevailing rise, And fainting hope almost expires; Jesus, to Thee I lift my eyes, To Thee I breathe my soul’s desires. 2 Art Thou not mine, my living Lord? And can my hope, my comfort die, Fixed on Thy everlasting word, That word which built the earth and sky. 3 If my immortal Savior lives, Then my immortal life is sure; His word a firm foundation gives, Here let me build, and rest secure. 4 Here let my faith unshaken dwell, Immovable the promise stands; Nor all the powers of earth or hell, Can e’er dissolve the sacred bands. 5 Here, O my soul, thy trust repose; If Jesus is for ever mine, Not death itself, that last of foes, Shall break a union so divine.
