Jesus, Sun of Righteousness

Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Sun of Righteousness, Brightest beam of love divine, With the early morning rays Do Thou on our darkness shine, And dispel, with purest light, All our long and gloomy night! 2 Like the sun's reviving ray, May Thy love, with tender glow, All our coldness melt away, Warm, and cheer us forth to go, Gladly serve Thee, and obey All our life's short earthly day! 3 Thou our only hope and guide! Never leave us nor forsake: In Thy light may we abide Till the endless morning break; Moving on to Zion's hill, Onward, upward, homeward still!

O Bread to pilgrims given

Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Bread to pilgrims given, Richer than angels eat, O Manna sent from heaven, For heaven-born natures meet! Give us, for Thee long pining, To eat till richly fill'd; Till, earth’s delights resigning, Our ev'ry wish is still'd! 2 O Fountain! life-bestowing, From out the Saviour’s heart, A fountain purely flowing, A Fount of Love Thou art! Oh, let us, freely tasting, Our burning thirst assuage! Thy sweetness, never wasting, Avails from age to age. 3 Jesus, this feast receiving, We Thee unseen adore; Thy faithful word believing, We take, and doubt no more; Give us, Thou true and loving, On earth to live in Thee; Then, death the veil removing, Thy glorious face to see!

What various hindrances we meet

I think, when I read that sweet story of old

Meter: 11.9.12.9 Appears in 864 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I think, when I read that sweet story of old, When Jesus was here among men, How He call'd little children as lambs to His fold, I should like to have been with them then. 2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head, That His arms had been thrown around me, And that I might have seen His kind look when He said, "Let the little ones come unto Me." 3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go, And ask for a share in His love; And if I thus earnestly seek Him below, I shall see Him and hear Him above,-- 4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare For all who are wash'd and forgiven; And many dear children are gathering there, "For of such is the kingdom of heaven." 5 I long for the joys of that glorious time, The sweetest, and brightest, and best, When the dear little children of every clime Shall crowd to His arms and be blessed.
