Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart

Author: Sir Edward Denny Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart, Star of the coming day, Arise, and with thy morning beams Chase all our griefs away. 2 Come, blessed Lord, bid ev'ry shore And answ'ring island sing The praises of thy royal Name, And own thee as their King. 3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now To the bright world above, Break forth in rapturous strains of joy In mem'ry of thy love. 4 Lord, Lord, thy fair creation groans, The air, the earth, the sea, In unison with all our hearts, And calls aloud for thee. 5 Come, then, with all thy quick'ning pow'r, With one awak'ning smile, And bid the serpent's trail no more Thy beauteous realms defile. 6 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits Of grace and peace Divine: Be thine the crown of glory now, The palms of vict'ry thine. Amen. Topics: Blessed Hope; Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Lord; Christ Second Coming and Judgment of; Gospel Triumph of; Longing for Christ and God Scripture: Romans 8:19-22 Used With Tune: EAGLEY

My God, Thy Service Well Demands

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My God, Thy service well demands The remnant of my days: Why was this fleeting breath renewed, But to renew Thy praise? 2 Thine arms of everlasting love Did this weak frame sustain, When life was hovering o’er the grave, And nature sunk with pain. 3 Thou, when the pains of death were felt, Didst chase the fears of hell, And teach my pale and quivering lips Thy matchless grace to tell. 4 Calmly I bowed my fainting head On Thy dear faithful breast; Pleased to obey my Father’s call To His eternal rest. 5 Into Thy hands, my Savior God, Did I my soul resign, In firm dependence on that truth, Which made salvation mine. 6 Back from the borders of the grave, At Thy command I come: Nor would I urge a speedier flight To my celestial home. 7 Where Thou determine mine abode, There would I choose to be; For in Thy presence death is life, And earth is Heav’n with Thee.

Being of beings, God of Love!

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Being of beings, God of Love! To Thee our hearts we raise; Thine all-sustaining power we prove, And gladly sing Thy praise. 2. Thine, only Thine, we pant to be; Our sacrifice receive; Made, and preserved, and saved by Thee, To Thee ourselves we give. 3. Heavenward our every wish aspires: For all Thy mercies' store, The sole return Thy love requires Is that we ask for more. 4. For more we ask; we open then Our hearts to embrace Thy will; Turn, and revive us, Lord, again, With all Thy fulness fill. 5. Come, Holy Ghost, the Saviour's love Shed in our hearts abroad! So shall we ever live, and move, And be, with Christ in God.

When We Are Raised From Deep Distress

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When we are raised from deep distress, Our God deserves a song; We take the pattern of our praise From Hezekiah’s tongue. 2 The gates of the devouring grave Are opened wide in vain, If He that holds the keys of death Commands them fast again. 3 Pains of the flesh are wont t’abuse Our minds with slavish fears: Our days are past, and we shall lose The remnant of our years. 4 We chatter with a swallow’s voice, Or like a dove we mourn, With bitterness instead of joys, Afflicted and forlorn. 5 Jehovah speaks the healing word, And no disease withstands; See fevers, plagues obey the Lord, And fly at His commands. 6 If half the strings of life should break, He can our frame restore; He casts our sins behind His back, And they are found no more.

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672 - 1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,012 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love, and praise! 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom these comforts flowed! 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the last a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue, And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night Divide thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercies shall adore. 6 Through all eternity to thee A joyful song I’ll raise; But O, eternity’s too short, To utter all thy praise! Amen. Topics: The Life In Christ Thanksgiving Used With Tune: EAGLEY
