How shall the young secure their hearts

Author: I. Watts Hymnal: LHPN1913 #573 (1913) Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts, And guard their lives from sin? Thy Word the choicest rules imparts To keep the conscience clean. 2 'Tis, like the sun, a heavenly light That guides us all the day; And through the dangers of the night A lamp to lead our way. 3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey, The earth maintains her place; And these Thy servants, night and day Thy skill and power express. 4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord, Have lessons more divine; Not earth stands firmer than Thy word, Nor stars so nobly shine. 5 Thy word is everlasting truth: How pure is every page! That holy book shall guide our youth And well support our age.

Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd

Author: Jane E. Leeson Hymnal: LHPN1913 #575 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Gracious Savior, gentle Shepherd, Children all are dear to Thee; Gathered with Thine arms, and carried In Thy bosom may we be; Sweetly, fondly, safely tended, From all want and danger free. 2 Tender Shepherd, never leave us From Thy fold to go astray; By Thy look of love directed May we walk the narrow way; Thus direct us and protect us, Lest they fall an easy prey. 3 Cleanse our hearts from sinful folly, In the stream Thy love supplied, Mingled stream of blood and water, Flowing from Thy wounded side; And to heavenly pastures lead us, Where Thy own still waters glide. 4 Let Thy holy Word instruct us; Guide us daily by its light; Let Thy love and grace constrain us To approve whate'er is right, Take Thine easy yoke, and wear it, Strengthened with Thy heavenly might. 5 Taught to lisp the holy praises Which on earth Thy children sing, Both with lips and hearts unfeigned, May we our thank-offerings bring; Then with all the saints in glory, Join to praise our Lord and King.

When, His salvation bringing

Author: J. King Hymnal: LHPN1913 #577 (1913) Lyrics: 1 When, His salvation bringing, To Zion Jesus came, The children all stood singing Hosanna to His name. Nor did their zeal offend Him, But as He rode along He let them still attend Him, And smiled to hear their song. 2 And since the Lord retaineth His love for children still, Though now as king He reigneth On Zion’s heavenly hill; We’ll flock around His banner, Who sits upon the throne, And cry aloud, "Hosanna To David’s royal Son!" 3 For should we fail proclaiming Our great Redeemer’s praise, The stones, our silence shaming, Might well Hosanna raise. But shall we only render The tribute of our words? No; while our hearts are tender, They, too, shall be the Lord’s.

Heavenly Father, send Thy blessing

Author: Chr. Wordsworth Hymnal: LHPN1913 #578 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, send Thy blessing On Thy children gathered here; May they all, Thy name confessing, Be to Thee forever dear; May they be, like Joseph, loving, Dutiful, and chaste, and pure; And their faith, like David, proving, Steadfast unto death endure. 2 Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouchsafe a child to be, Guide their steps and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms and at Thy breast; Through life’s desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heavenly rest. 3 Spread Thy golden pinions o’er them, Holy Spirit, from above, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.

Who knows how near my life's expended?

Author: Emilie Juliane of Schwartzburg-Rudolstadt Hymnal: LHPN1913 #579 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Who knows how near my life's expended? Time flies, and death is hasting on, How soon, my term of trial ended Death may be here and life be gone. My God, for Jesus' sake, I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 2 My many sins! O veil them over With merits of Thy dying Son! I here Thy richest grace discover, Here find I peace, and here alone; My God, for Jesus' sake, I pray thy peace may bless my dying day. 3 His bleeding wounds give me assurance That Thy free mercy will abide; Here strength I find for death's endurance, And hope for all I need beside: My God, for Jesus' sake, I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day. 4 Naught shall my soul from Jesus sever, Nor life, nor death; things high nor low; I take Him as my Lord forever, My future trust, as He is now; My God, for Jesus' sake, I pray Thy peace may bless my dying day.

I would not live alway; I ask not to stay

Author: W. A. Muhlenberg Hymnal: LHPN1913 #580 (1913) Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way; The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway, thus fettered by sin, Temptation without, and corruption within: E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears. 3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb: Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom; There sweet be my rest, till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God; Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns? 5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Savior and brethren transported to greet, While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.

When my last hour is close at hand

Author: N. Hermann Hymnal: LHPN1913 #582 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 When my last hour is close at hand, Lord Jesus Christ, attend me; Beside my bed, my Savior, stand, To comfort, help, defend me: Into thy hands I will commend My trembling soul at my last end,-- How safe in Thy sweet keeping! 2 Countless as sands upon the shore, My sins are thronging round me; But though they grieve and wound me sore, They cannot yet confound me; My sins are numberless, I know, But o'er them all thy blood doth flow, Thy wounds and death uphold me. 3 Lord, Thou hast joined my soul to Thine, In bonds no power can sever; Grafted in Thee, the living vine, I shall be Thine for ever: Lord, when I die, I die to Thee, Thy precious death hath won for me A life that never endeth. 4 Since Thou hast risen from the grave, The grave cannot detain me; "Christ died,"--"Christ rose again" to save, These words shall still sustain me; For where Thou art, there I shall be, That I may ever live with Thee: This is my joy in dying. 5 To Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, I will With arms outstretched betake me; I sleep in Thee--so sound--so still, No mortal man can wake me! For Jesus Christ, God's Son, I wait To open me the heavenly gate, Which leads to life eternal.
