To Thee, O Lord, Our Hearts We Raise

Author: William Chatterton Dix Hymnal: HOoS1926 #570 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise In hymns of adoration, To Thee bring sacrifice of praise With shouts of exultation: Bright robes of gold the fields adorn, The hills with joy are ringing, The valleys stand so thick with corn That even they are singing. 2 And now, on this our festal day, Thy bounteous hand confessing, Upon Thine altar, Lord, we lay The first-fruits of Thy blessing: By Thee the souls of men are fed With gifts of grace supernal; Thou who dost give us daily bread, Give us the Bread eternal. 3 We bear the burden of the day, And often toil seems dreary; But labor ends with sunset ray, And rest is for the weary; May we, the angel-reaping o'er, Stand at the last accepted, Christ's golden sheaves for evermore, To garners bright elected. 4 O blessèd is that land of God Where saints abide for ever, Where golden fields spread fair and broad, Where flows the crystal river: The strains of all its holy throng With ours to-day are blending; Thrice blessèd is that harvest-song Which never hath an ending.

When in the Hour of Utmost Need

Author: Paul Eber; Miss Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: HOoS1926 #575 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When in the hour of utmost need We know not where to look for aid; When days and nights of anxious thought Nor help nor counsel yet have brought: 2 Then this our comfort is alone, That we may meet before Thy throne, And cry, O faithful God, to Thee For rescue from our misery: 3 To Thee may raise our hearts and eyes, Repenting sore with bitter sighs, And seek Thy pardon for our sin, And respite from our griefs within. 4 For Thou hast promised graciously To hear all those who cry to Thee, Through Him whose Name alone is great, Our Saviour and our Advocate. 5 And thus we come, O God, to-day, And all our woes before Thee lay; For tried, afflicted, lo! we stand, Peril and foes on every hand. 6 Ah, hide not for our sins Thy face; Absolve us through Thy boundless grace; Be with us in our anguish still, Free us at last from every ill 7 That so with all our hearts we may To Thee our glad thanksgiving pay, And walk obedient to Thy Word, And now and ever praise Thee, Lord.

Now Rest, Ye Pilgrim Host

Author: Rossiter Worthington Raymond Hymnal: HOoS1926 #579 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Now rest, ye pilgrim host, Look back upon your way, The mountains climbed, the torrents crossed, Through many a weary day. From this victorious height, How fair the past appears, God's grace and glory shining bright On all the bygone years. 2 How many, at His call, Have parted from our throng! They watch us from the crystal wall, And echo back our song. They rest, beyond complaints, Beyond all sighs and tears: Praise be to God for all His saints Who wrought in bygone years. 3 The banners they upbore Our hands still lift on high; The Lord they followed evermore To us is also nigh. Arise, arise, and tread The future without fears; He leadeth still Whose hand hath led Through all the bygone years. 4 When we have reached the home We seek with weary feet, Our children's children still shall come To keep these ranks complete; And He Whose host is one Throughout the countless spheres Will guide His marching servants on Through everlasting years.
