For My Sake

Appears in 35 hymnals First Line: For my sake and the Gospel's, go Lyrics: 1 "For My sake and the Gospel’s, go And tell redemption’s story;" His heralds answer, "Be it so, And Thine, Lord, all the glory!" They preach His birth, His life, His cross, The love of His atonement For whom they count the world but loss, His Easter, His enthronement. 2 Hark, hark, the trump of jubilee Proclaims to ev'ry nation, From pole to pole, by land and sea, Glad tidings of salvation: As nearer draws the day of doom, While still the battle rages, The heavenly day-spring through the gloom Breaks on the night of ages.

Angel Voices, ever Singing

Author: Francis Pott Appears in 381 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Angel voices, ever singing 'Round Thy throne of light; Angel harps, forever ringing, Rest not day nor night. Thousands only live to bless Thee, And confess Thee, Lord of might. 2 Thou, Who art beyond the farthest Mental eye can scan, Can it be that Thou regardest Songs of sinful man? Can we feel that Thou art near us, And wilt hear us? Yea, we can. 3 Yea, we know Thy love rejoices O'er each work of Thine; Thou didst ears, and hands, and voices, For Thy praise combine; Craftsman's art and music's measure For Thy pleasure Didst design. 4 Here, Great God, to-day we offer Of Thine own to Thee; And for Thine acceptance proffer, All unworthily, Hearts and minds, and hands and voices, In our choicest Melody. 5 Honor, glory, might, and merit, Thine shall ever be, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Blessed Trinity! Of the best that Thou hast given Earth and heaven Render Thee. Topics: Childhood and Youth Youth; Childhood Used With Tune: ANGEL VOICES

Savior, Again to Thy dear Name

Author: J. Ellerton Appears in 862 hymnals First Line: Savior, again to Thy dear name we raise Lyrics: 1 Savior, again to Thy dear name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise; Once more we bless Thee ere our worship cease, Then, lowly bending, wait Thy word of peace. 2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day; Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon Thy name. 3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night, Turn Thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep Thy children free, For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life, Our balm in sorrow and our stay in strife; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.

Through the Night of Doubt and Sorrow

Author: Sabine-Baring Gould; B. S. Ingemann Appears in 325 hymnals First Line: Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Lyrics: 1 Thro' the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, thro' the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless thro' the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Bright'ning all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain the lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

According to Thy Gracious Word

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 555 hymnals Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember Thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget, Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes, And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember Thee. 5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, And all Thy love to me; Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.
