Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom

Meter: Irregular Appears in 1,261 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid the encircling gloom, Lead Thou me on; The night is dark, and I am far from home, Lead Thou me on. Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see The distant scene; one step enough for me. 2 I was not ever thus, nor pray'd that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on. I loved the garish day; and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will: remember not past years. 3 So long Thy power has blest me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile.

Lift your glad voices in triumph on high

Meter: Irregular Appears in 162 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift your glad voices in triumph on high, For Jesus hath risen, and man cannot die. Vain were the terrors that gathered around Him, And short the dominion of death and the grave: He burst from the fetters of darkness that bound Him, Resplendent in glory to live and to save. Loud was the chorus of angels on high, "The Saviour hath risen, and man shall not die." 2 Glory to God, in full anthems of joy! The being He gave us, death cannot destroy; Sad were the life we must part with to-morrow, If tears were our birth-right and death were our end; But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow, And bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend. Lift your glad voices in triumph on high, Jesus hath risen, and man shall not die.

Lo! what a cloud of witnesses

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses Encompass us around! Men once like us with suffering tried, But now with glory crown'd. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired, Strive in the Christian race; And, freed, from every weight of sin, Their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a Witness nobler still, Who trod affliction's path-- Jesus, the Author, Finisher, Rewarder of our faith. 4 He, for the joy before Him set, And moved by pitying love, Endured the Cross, despised the shame, And now He reigns above. 5 Thither, forgetting things behind, Press we to God's right hand; There, with the Saviour and His saints, Triumphantly to stand.

Lord, shall Thy children come to Thee?

Bless, bless, O Lord, Thy children's prayer, That they may come and find Thee there. 3 Lord, shall we come? not thus alone. At holy time, or solemn rite, But every hour till life be flown, Through weal or woe, in gloom or light, Come to Thy throne of grace, that we In faith, hope, love, confirm'd may be? 4 Lord, shall we come? come yet again? Thy children ask one blessing more: To come, not now alone; -- but then When life, and death, and time are o'er, Then, then to come, O Lord, and be Confirm'd in heaven, confirm'd by Thee.

Thee we would be always blessing, Serve Thee as Thy hosts above; Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing; Glory in Thy perfect love. 4 Finish then Thy new creation, Pure and spotless let us be: Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee. Changed from glory into glory, Till in heaven we take our place; Till we cast our crowns before Thee, Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Topics: The Christian Life Love
