Thine Agony, O Lord, Is O'er

Author: Johan Olof Wallin Meter: 8.8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine agony, O Lord, is o'er, And victory forevermore Is ours through Thy great passion. Earth had for Thee no peace in store Till peace was our possession. 2 Now rest Thee, gentle Shepherd blet, Who 'mid this throng hast found no rest, Nor in a home abided. The shelter life from Thee withheld The grave alone provided. 3 O silent grave! O blest retreat, A refuge for my Saviour meet, No longer dark and narrow! Like Him, I enter thee content, Released from toil and sorrow. 4 O sleep of death, O night profound, My Lord hath set for thee a bound: His promise I remember. Like Him, triumphant I shall come From out that peaceful chamber. Amen.

Lord, It Is Good for Us To Be

Author: Arthur Penrhyn Stanley Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it is good for us to be High on the mountain here with Thee, Where stand revealed to mortal gaze Those glorious saints of other days, Who once received on Horeb's height Th'eternal laws of truth and right, Or caught the still small whisper, higher Than storm, than earthquake, or than fire. 2 Lord, it is good for us to be Entranced, enwrapt, alone with Thee; And watch Thy glistering raiment glow Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow, The human lineaments that shine Irradiant with a light divine: Till we too change from grace to grace, Gazing on that transfigured face. 3 Lord, it is good for us to be Here on the holy mount with Thee; When darkling in the depths of night, When dazzled with excess of light, We bow before the heavenly voice That bids bewildered souls rejoice, Though love wax cold, and faith be dim: "This is my Son; O hear ye Him!"

Then teach me by Thy heav'nly grace With joy and peace my death to face. 2 My God, I know not when I die; What is the moment or the hour, How soon the clay may broken lie, How quickly pass away the flower: Then may Thy child preparéd be Through time to meet eternity. 3 My God, I know not how I die; For death in many ways doth come, In dark, mysterious agony, Or gently as a sleep to some. Just as Thou wilt, if but it be To bring me, blesséd Lord, to Thee! 4 My God, I know not where I die, Where is my grace, upon what strand; Yet from its gloom I do rely To be delivered by Thy hand. Content, I take what spot is mine, Since all the earth, my Lord, is Thine. 5 My gracious God, when I must die, O bear my happy soul above, With Christ, my Lord, eternally To share Thy glory and Thy love: Then all is right and well with me, When, where, and how my death shall be.

My Soul, Repeat His Praise

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 468 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise, Whose mercies are so great, Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 God will not always chide; And, when His wrath is felt, His strokes are few than our crimes, And lighter than our guilt. 3 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 4 His power subdues our sins; And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure, And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure. Amen. Topics: Worship Prayer and Praise; A Day of Thanksgiving or a Harvest Festival; Thanksgiving Scripture: Psalm 103 Used With Tune: BARNBY'S HYMNARY, TUNE 525
