From God shall naught divide me

Author: L. Helmbold Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From God shall naught divide me, For He is true for aye, And on my path will guide me, Who else should often stray; His ever bounteous hand By night and day is heedful, And gives me what is needful, Where'er I go or stand. 2 If sorrow comes, He sent it, In Him I put my trust; I ever shall repent it, For He is true and just, And loves to bless us still; My life and soul, I owe them To Him who doth bestow them, Let Him do as He will. 3 Whate'er shall be His pleasure Is surely best for me; He gave His dearest treasure, That our weak hearts might see How good His will toward us; And in His Son He gave us Whate'er could bless and save us; Praise Him who loveth thus! 4 O praise Him, for He never Forgets our daily need; O blest the hour whenever To Him our thoughts can speed; Yea, all the time we spend Without Him is but wasted, Till we His joy have tasted, The joy that hath no end. 5 For when the world is passing With all its pomp and pride, All we were here amassing No longer may abide; But in our earthly bed, Where softly we are sleeping, God hath us in His keeping, To wake us from the dead. 6 Then, though on earth I suffer Much trial, well I know I merit ways still rougher, Yet 'tis to heaven I go; For Christ I know and love, To Him I now am hasting, And gladness everlasting With Him this heart shall prove. 7 For such His will who made us; The Father seeks our good; The Son hath grace to aid us, And save us by His blood; His Spirit rules our ways, By faith in us abiding, To heaven our footsteps guiding; To Him be thanks and praise.

I heard the voice of Jesus say

Author: H. Bonar Appears in 1,242 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Come unto Me and rest; Lay down, thou weary one, lay down Thy head upon My breast." I came to Jesus as I was, Weary, and worn and sad; I found in Him a resting-place, And He has made me glad. 2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "Behold, I freely give The living water; thirsty one, Stoop down and drink, and live." I came to Jesus, and I drank Of that life-giving stream; My thirst was quenched, my soul revived, And now I live in Him. 3 I heard the voice of Jesus say, "I am this dark world's light; Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise, And all thy day be bright." I looked to Jesus, and I found In Him my star, my sun; And in that light of life I'll walk Till travelling days are done.

O Lord, hear Thou my calling

Author: Clement Marot Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Lord, hear Thou my calling, Out of the deep I cry: O make my prayer availing; With aid to me draw nigh: O mark my lamentation, My restless sighing hear, And to my supplication Incline thy gracious ear. 2 If Thou shouldst mark abuses And strict account demand, O Lord, with what excuses Could we before Thee stand? But if with true contrition Our sins we mourn and blame, Thou savest from perdition That we may fear Thy name. 3 In God my hope abideth, My trust is in the Lord, My soul in Him confideth And builds upon His word: My soul for Him is yearning, More longing for His grace Than daylight's sweet returning The watchman longs to trace. 4 Be God thy strong foundation, Thou chosen Israel; Thy God with whom salvation And mercy ever dwell; His river ever streameth With pardon full and free, He Israel redeemeth From all iniquity.

Over Kedron Jesus treadeth

Author: Thomas Kingo Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Over Kedron Jesus treadeth To His passion for us all; Every human eye be weeping, Tears of bitter grief let fall! Round His spirit flock the foes, Place their shafts and bend their bows, Aiming at the Savior solely, While the world forsakes Him wholly. 2 David once, with heart afflicted, Crossed the Kedron's narrow strand, Clouds of gloom and grief about him When an exile from his land. But, O Jesus, blacker now Bends the cloud above Thy brow, Hasting to death's dreary portals For the shame and sin of mortals. 3 See how, anguish-struck, He falleth Prostrate, and with struggling breath, Three times on His God He calleth, Praying that the bitter death And the cup of doom may go, Still He cries, in all His woe: "Not My will, but Thine, O Father!" And the angels round Him gather. 4 See how, in that hour of darkness, Battling with the evil power, Agonies untold assail Him, On His soul the arrows shower; All the garden flowers are wet With the drops of bloody sweat, From His anguished frame distilling-- World's redemption thus fulfilling! 5 But, O flowers, so sadly watered By this pure and precious dew, In some blessed hour your blossoms 'Neath the olive-shadows grew! Eden's garden did not bear Aught that can with you compare, For the blood, thus freely given, Makes my soul the heir of heaven. 6 When as flowers themselves I wither When I droop and fade life grass When the life-streams through my pulses Dull and ever duller pass, When at last they cease to roll Then, to cheer my singing soul, Grace of Jesus, be Thou given-- Source of triumph! pledge of heaven!

Not what these hands have done

Author: H. Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done Can save this guilty soul; Not what this toiling flesh has borne Can make my spirit whole. Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers, and sighs, and tears, Can bear my awful load. 2 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy power alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break. No other work save Thine, No meaner blood will do; No strength, save that which is divine, Can bear me safely through. 3 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine; And with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine. 'Tis He that saveth me, And freely pardon gives; I love, because He loveth me, I live, because He lives.

O Father, may Thy word prevail

Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 8.6.8.6.6.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Father, may Thy Word prevail Against the gates of hell! Behold the vineyard Thou hast tilled With thorns and thistles filled. 'Tis true, Thy plants are there; But, ah, how weak and rare! How slight the power and evidence Of word and sacraments! 2 Come, Jesus, come and contemplate Thy vineyard's sad estate; Baptized are millions in Thy name, But where is faith's pure flame? Of what avail that we Know of Thine agony, So long as we do not o'erthrow In faith the wicked foe? 3 O Holy Ghost, to Thee, our light, We cry by day, by night: Come, grant us of the light and powe'r Our fathers had of yore; When Thy dear Church did stand A tree, deep-rooted, grand; Full-crowned with blossoms white as snow, With purple fruits aglow!

Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold

Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, from heaven behold, And let Thy pity waken! How few the flock within Thy fold, Neglected and forsaken! Men suffer not Thy Word to stand, And faith seems quenched on every hand Dark times have us o'ertaken. 2 With fraud which they themselves invent Thy truth they have confounded; Their hearts are not with one consent On Thy pure doctrine grounded; And, whilst they gleam with outward show, They lead Thy people to and fro, In error's maze astounded. 3 God surely will uproot all those Who with deceits now store us; with haughty tongue they God oppose, And say, "Who stands before us? By right or might we shall prevail; What we determine cannot fail, For who can lord it o'er us?" 4 Then saith our God: I will arise, These wolves My flock are rending; I've heard My people's bitter sighs To heaven, My throne, ascending: My saving Word shall fight And fearlessly and sharply smite, The poor with might defending. 5 As silver tried by fire is pure From all adulteration; So, through God's word, shall men endure Each trial and temptation: Its worth gleams brighter through the cross, And, purified from human dross, It shines through every nation. 6 Defend, O God, Thy truth, and stay This evil generation; And from the error of their way Keep Thine own congregation. The wicked everywhere abound, And would Thy little flock confound, Which, Lord, forbid them. Amen.

Whene'er we contemplate the grace

Author: Chr. Gregor Meter: 8.7.8.7.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Whene'er we contemplate the grace, The love and condescension Of Christ to our apostate race, Which pass all comprehension, Low at His feet we bend; Own Him the sinner's friend; Determined naught to know beside Christ Jesus, and Him crucified. 2 How pleasant is our lot, how good And blest beyond expression; For, having cleansed us by This blood, He bears us with compassion, Applies his healing power To us, each day and hour; Yea, we in Him redemption have, In death itself and in the grave. 3 And this our joyful theme shall be When, called to see our Savior, We join the glorious company Around His throne forever; Then we in highest strain Shall praise the Lamb once slain, Who hath redeemed us by His blood, And made us kings and priests to God.

Behold, the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night

Author: Anon. Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night, And blest is he whose loins are girt, whose lamp is burning bright; But woe to that dull servant, whom the Master shall surprise With lamp untrimmed, unburning and with slumber in his eyes. 2 Do thou, my soul, beware, beware lest thou in sleep sink down, Lest thou be given o’er to death, and lose the golden crown; But see that thou be sober, with a watchful eye, and thus Cry, "Holy, holy, holy God, have mercy upon us!" 3 That day, the day of fear, shall come; my soul, slack not thy toil, But light thy lamp, and feed it well, and make it bright with oil; Who knowest not how soon may sound the cry at eventide, "Behold the Bridegroom comes! Arise! He come to meet the Bride!" 4 Beware, my soul! take thou good heed lest thou in slumber lie, And, like the five, remain without, and knock, and vainly cry; But watch, and bear thy lamp undimmed, and Christ shall gird thee on His own bright wedding robe of light,--the glory of the Son.
