Come, my soul, thy suit prepare

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 with repeat Appears in 717 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, my soul, thy suit prepare: Jesus loves to answer pray'r; He himself has bid thee pray, Therefore will not say then nay; Therefore will not say thee nay. 2 Thou art coming to a King, Large petitions with thee bring; For his grace and pow'r are such, None can ever ask too much; None can ever ask too much. 3 With my burden I begin: Lord, remove this load of sin; Let thy blood, for sinners spilt, Set my conscience free from guilt; Set my conscience free from guilt. 4 Lord, I come to thee for rest, Take possession of my breast; There thy blood-bo't right maintain, And without a rival reign; And without a rival reign. 5 While I am a pilgrim here, Let thy love my spirit cheer; As my Guide, my Guard, my Friend, Lead me to my journey's end; Lead me to my journey's end. 6 Show me what I have to do, Ev'ry hour my strength renew: Let me live a life of faith, Let me die thy people's death; Let me die thy people's death. Amen. Topics: Christian Life Prayer; Pilgrimage and Guidance; Prayer Encouragement in Scripture: Matthew 7:7 Used With Tune: HENDON

At even, when the sun was set

Author: Henry Twells Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 318 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At even, when the sun was set, The sick, O Lord, around thee lay; O in what divers pains they met! O with what joy they went away! 2 Once more 'tis eventide, and we, Oppressed with various ills, draw near: What if thy form we cannot see; We know and feel that thou art here. 3 O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel: For some are sick, and some are sad, And some have never loved thee well, And some have lost the love they had; 4 And none, O Lord, have perfect rest, For none are wholly free from sin; And they who fain would serve thee best Are conscious most of wrong within. 5 O Saviour Christ, thou too art man, Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried; Thy kind but searching glance can scan The very wounds that shame would hide. 6 Thy touch has still its ancient pow'r; No word from thee can fruitless fall: Hear in this solemn evening hour, And in thy mercy heal us all. Amen.

Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass, Ye bars of iron, yield, And let the King of Glory pass; The cross is in the field: That banner, brighter than the star That leads the train of night, Shines on their march, and guides from far His servants to the fight. 2 A holy war those servants wage; Mysteriously at strife, The pow'rs of heav'n and hell engage For more than death of life. Ye armies of the living God, His sacramental host, Where hallowed footsteps never trod Take your appointed post: 3 Though few and small and weak your bands, Strong in your Captain's strength Go to the conquest of all lands; All must be his at length. Those spoils at his victorious feet You shall rejoice to lay, And lay yourselves, as trophies meet, In his great judgment-day. 4 O fear not, faint nor, halt not now; In Jesus' Name be strong; To him shall all the nations bow, And sing with you this song: "Uplifted are the gates of brass, The bars of iron yield; Behold the King of Glory pass; The cross has won the field."
