O Thou to Whose all-searching sight

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 391 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, to Whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light, Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee, O burst these bonds, and set it free. 2 Wash out its stains, refine its dross, Nail my affections to the Cross; Hallow each thought; let all within Be clean, as Thou, my Lord, art clean. 3 If in this darksome wild I stray, Be Thou my light, be Thou my way; No foes, no violence I fear, No harm, while Thou, my God, art near. 4 When rising floods my head o'erflow, When sinks my heart in waves of woe, Jesus, Thy timely aid impart, And raise my head, and cheer my heart. 5 Saviour, where'er Thy steps I see, Dauntless, untired, I follow Thee: O let Thy hand support me still, And lead me to Thy holy hill. 6 If rough and thorny be my way, My strength proportion to my day, Till toil, and grief, and pain shall cease Where all is calm, and joy, and peace.

Our hearts to Thee in prayer we bow

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our hearts to Thee in prayer we bow, Jesus, the Heavenly Bridegroom Thou; Abide with us, and deign to bless Thy suppliant ones with happiness. 2 Be present, as at Cana's board, With high and awful blessings stored; To ask is ours, but only Thine To turn the water into wine. 3 Call'd to the marriage, Thou dost shed New grace upon the newly wed; Be theirs to seek Thy presence dear, And seeking, find it ever near. 4 O Christ, do thou to us impart The blessing of the pure in heart; That we henceforth in Thee abide, True members of the spotless bride. 5 More bright that crown, than bridal wreath, Which waits the faithful unto death; And brighter than the bridegroom's joy The bliss which never hath alloy. 6 Lord, grant us so to watch and guard That this may be our great reward With virgin souls to follow Thee, And where Thou art for aye to be.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 451 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led, Dragg'd to the portals of the sky. 2 There His triumphal chariot waits And angels chant the solemn lay: Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates, Ye everlasting doors, give way. 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as His right, Receive the King of Glory in. 4 Who is the King of Glory, who? The Lord that all His foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the Conqueror's name. 5 Lo! His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates, Ye everlasting doors, give way. 6 Who is the King of Glory, who? The Lord, of glorious power possess'd, The King of saints and angels too, God over all, forever bless'd.

Lord, when we bend before Thy throne

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 329 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we bend before Thy throne, And our confessions pour, Teach us to feel the sins we own, And hate what we deplore. 2 Our broken spirits, pitying see; And penitence impart; Then let a kindling glance from Thee Beam hope upon the heart. 3 When we disclose our wants in prayer, May we our wills resign; And not a thought our bosom share Which is not wholly Thine. 4 Let faith each weak petition fill, And waft it to the skies, And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still That grants it, or denies.

Forth from the dark and stormy sky

Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 130 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forth from the dark and stormy sky, Lord, to Thine altar's shade we fly; Forth from the world, its hope and fear, Saviour, we seek Thy shelter here: Weary and weak, Thy grace we pray: Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away. 2 Long have we roamed in want and pain, Long have we sought Thy rest in vain; Wildered in doubt, in darkness lost, Long have our souls been tempest-tost; Low at Thy feet our sins we lay:; Turn not, O Lord! Thy guests away.
