HYMNS
NEW YEAR
CHCHB 1 (5)
1. Bless, 0 lord, the opening year
To each soul assembled here ;
Clothe Thy Word with power divine,
Make us willing to be Thine.
2. Shepherd of Thy blood-bought sheep,

Teach the stony hearts to weep ;
Let the blind have eyes to see,
See themselves, and look to Thee.
3. Where Thou hast Thy work begun,

Give new strength the race to run ;
Scatter darkness, doubts and fears;
Wipe away the mourner's tears.
4. Bless us all, both old and young ;

Call forth praise from every tongue ;
Let this whole assembly prove
All thy power and all Thy love. Amen.
CHCHB 2 (14)
1. A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest
Asleep within the tomb
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that great Day ;
O wash me in Thy precious
Blood, And take my sins away.
2. A few more suns shall set

O'er these dark hills of time,
And we shall be where suns are not,
A far sevener clime
My soul for that bright Day ;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood,
And take my sins away.
3. A few more storms shall beat

On this wild rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more
Then, 0 my Lord, prepare
My soul for that calm Day ;
O wash me in Thy precious Blood
4. A few more struggles here,

A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears
And we shall weep no more
My soul for that blest Day ;
5. Tis but a little while

And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, - Who lives
That we, with Him, May reign
My sopl for that glad Day ;
And take my sins away. Amen.
CHCHB 3 (11)
1. Father, let me dedicate
All this year to Thee,
In whatever worldly state
Thou wilt have me be:
Not from sorrow, pain, or care,
Freedom dare I claim ;
This alone shall be my prayer,
"Glorify Thy Name."
2. Can a child presume to choose

Where or how to live ?
Can a Father's love refuse
All the best to give ?
More Thou givest every day
Than the best can claim,
Nor with boldest aught that may
"Glorify Thy Name."
3. If in mercy Thou wilt spare

Joys that yet are mine ;
If on life, serene and fair,
Brighter rays may shine ;
Let my glad heart, while it sings,
Thee in all proclaim,
And, whate'er the future brings,
"Glorify Thy Name."
4. If Thou callest to the Cross,

And its shadow come,
Turning all my gain to loss,
Shrouding heart and home ;
5. Let me think how Thy dear Son

To His glory came,
And in deepest woe pray on,
"Glorify Thy Name." Amen.
CHCHB 4 (-)
1. And now, my soul, another year,
Of thy short life is past ;
I cannot long continue here,
And this may be my last.
2. Much of my dubious life is gone,

Nor will return again ;
And swift my passing moments run,
The few that still remain.
3. Awake, my soul; with utmost care

Thy true condition learn ;
What are thy hopes, how sure, how fair?
And what thy chief concern ?
4. Now a new scene of time begins,

Set out afresh for Heaven ;
Seek pardon for thy former sins,
In Christ so freely given.
5. Devoutly yield thyself to God,

And to His care commend ;
And still pursue the Heavenly road,
Nor doubt a happy end ! Amen.

from strength to strength we go,
While grace for grace abundantly
shall from His fulness flow,
To glory's full fruition,
from glory's foretaste here,
Until His very presence crown
our happiest New Year Amen.

Of Thy dear Face, eclipse the light,

Oh bring it back, and from afar
Smile on me like Thine evening star.

Let my lone spirit find her rest,
Like John, upon my Saviour's breast.

Then, Saviour, bid me come to Thee,
That where Thou art, Thy child may be. Amen.

“He Himself hath suffered.” Heb. 1i: 18

For the souls that go a-stray;
Weak and weary, tem-pest- tost,
Stars all hid, and com-pass lost;
Sailors on the dan-g'rous seas
God of love, we pray for these.

Thou didst make them, Thine are they;
When alluring forms are nigh,
When a thousand voices cry,
Loud and clear above them all
Let them hear Thy tender call.

For the souls that go astray,
Beaten back by storm and sleet,
Scorned by all they chance to meet;
On them let Thy mercy shine,
Still remember they are Thine.

Dust and ashes - such are they!
Hear them while they make their moan
Thou canst save, and Thou alone:
See, their feet are on the sands;
Christ of Calvary, hold their hands. Amen.

New thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.
3. If on our daily course, our mind

Be set to hallow all we find,
New treasures still of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.

Will furnish all we ought to ask;
Room to deny ourselves, a road
To bring us daily nearer God.
5. Only, O Lord, in Thy dear Love

Fit us for perfect rest above;
And help us, this and every day,
To live more nearly as we pray. Amen.

My heart awaking cries,
May Jesus Christ be praised!
A like at work and prayer,
To Jesus I repair;
2. Whene'er the sweet church-bell

Peals over hill and dell,
Oh! hark to what it sings,
As joyously it rings,
3. Dose sadness fill my mind?

A solace here I find,
May Jesus Christ be praised
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this,
4. The night becomes as day,

When from the heart we say,
The powers of darkness fear,
When this sweet chant they hear,
5. To God, the Word, on high

The host of angels cry,
Let mortals, too, upraise
Their voice in hymns of praise;
6. Let earths wide circle round

In joyful notes resound,
Let air and sea and sky,
From depth to height, reply,
7. In Heaven's eternal bliss

The loveliest strain is this,
This song of sacred joy,
It never seems to cloy,
8. Be this, while life is mine,

My canticle Divine,
Be this the eternal song,
Through all the ages on,
May Jesus Christ be praised ! Amen.

“Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe.” Psalm cxizll ?

Thine own gift of this new day;
Doubt of what it holds in store
Makes us crave Thine aid the more
Lest it prove a time of loss,
Mark it, Saviour, with Thy Cross.
2. If it flow on calm and bright,

Be Thyself our chief delight;
If it bring unknown distress,
Good is all that Thou canst bless ;
Only, while its hours begin,
Pray we, keep them clear of sin.
3. We in part our weakness know,

And in part discern our foe;
Well for us, before Thine eyes
All our danger open lies;
Turn not from us, while we plead
Thy compassion, and our need.
4. Fain would we Thy word embrace,

Live each moment on Thy grace,
All our selves to Thee consign,
Fold up all our wills in Thine,
Think, and speak, and do, and be
Simply that which pleases Thee.
5. Hear us, Lord, and that right soon,

Hear, and grant the choicest boon
That Thy love can e'er impart,
Loyal singleness of heart;

Sweetest rest-day for the soul;
Light, upon a world of darkness
From thy blessed moments, roll!
Holy, happy, Heavenly day,
Thou canst charm our grief away.
3. Now we taste our Father's goodness

Falling like the morning dew,
While of pastures even fairer,
We would take a distant view;
Where our Shepherd's flock we see,
Where our dwelling soon shall be.

We will seek our joy to-day:
It is then we learn the fulness
Of the grace for which we pray,
When the Word of life is given
Like the Saviour's Voice from Heaven.
5. Let the day with Thee be ended,

As with Thee it has begun;
And Thy blessing, Lord, be granted,
Till earth's day and weeks are done;
That at last Thy servants may
Keep th'eternal Sabbath-day. Amen.

Round the home-altar pray,

At heaven's gate close the day.

With Thee to watch and pray. Amen

From Blush of morn to evening star,
As that which calls me to Thy Feet,

And blest that hour of solemn eve,
When, on the wings of prayer up borne,
The world I leave;

Brighter than morn's ethereal glow,
And richer dews descend from Thee,

Then are my sins by Thee forgiven;
Then dost Thou cheer my solitude
With hope of Heaven.

What peace of mind.

My spirit seems in heaven to stay;
And e'en the penitential tear
Is wiped away.

No privilege so dear shall be,
As thus my inmost soul to pour
In prayer to Thee. Amen.

"Hide me under the shadow of Thy wings.-Psalms xvii. 8.
1. The shadows of the evening hours
Fall from the darkening sky ;
Upon the fragrance of the flowers
The dews of evening lie ;
Before Thy Throne, O Lord of Heaven,
We Kneel at close of day;
Look on Thy children From on high,
And hear us while we pray.
2. The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord,

O do not Thou despise,
But let the incense of our prayers
Before Thy mercy rise ;
The brightness of the coming night
Upon the darkness rolls;
With hopes of future glory chase
The shadows on our souls.
3. Slowly the rays of daylight fade;

So fade within our heart
The hopes in earthly love and joy,
That one by one depart :
Slowly the bright stars, one by one,
Within the heavens. Shine ;
Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in Heaven;
And trust in things divine.
4. Let peace, O Lord, Thy peace,

O God: Upon our souls descend;
From midnight fears and perils, Thou
Our trembling hearts defend:
Give us a respite from our toil,
Calm and subdue our woes;
Through the long day we labour, Lord,
O give us now repose. Amen.

Shade creeps o'er wild and wood: Let us, as night is falling,
On God our Maker calling,
Give thanks to him, the giver good.
2. Now all the heavenly splendour

Break forth in starlight tender
From myriad worlds unknown;
And man, the marvel seeing,
Forgets his selfish being,
For joy of beauty not his own.
3. His care he drowneth yonder,

Lost in the abyss of wonder;
To heaven his soul doth steal:
This life he disesteemeth,
The day it is that dreameth,
That doth from truth his vision seal.
4. Awhile his mortal blindness

May miss God's loving-kindness,
And grope in faithless strife:
But when life's day is over
Shall death's fair night discover
The fields of everlasting life.
5. The duteous day now closeth,

Each flower and tree reposeth,
Shade creeps o'er wild and wood:
Let us, as night is falling,
On God our Maker calling,
Give thanks to him, the giver good. Amen.

We know and feel that Thou art here.
3. O Saviour Christ, our woes dispel ;
For some are sick, and some are sad,
And some have never loved Thee well,
And some have lost the love they had ;
4. And some are pressed with worldly care ;

And some are tried with sinful doubt;
And some such grievous passions tear
That only Thou can cast them out;
5. And some have found the world is vain,
Yet from the world they break not free;
And some have friends who give them pain,
Yet have not sought a friend in Thee.
6. And none, 0 Lord, have perfect rest,

For none are wholly free from sin .
And they who fain would serve
Thee best Are conscious most of wrong within.
7. O Saviour Christ, Thou too art Man;

Thou hast been troubled, tempted, tried
Thy kind but searching glance can scan
The very wounds that shame would hide.
8. Thy touch has still its ancient power ;

No word from Thee can fruitless fall ;
Hear, in this solemn evening hour,
And in Thy mercy heal us all. Amen.

And ask Thee that offenceless
O Jesus, keep me in Thy sight,
3. The toils of day are over ;

And ask that free from peril
O Jesus, keep me in Thy 6ight,

How many are the perils
Through which I have to go :
O loving Jesus, hear my call,
And guard and save me from them all. Amen

Keep love's frail flame alight,
End the day that fading dies
With an offering of sacrifice.

Calm in the hour of death,
Into his Father's hands
Yielded his latest breath,
So my spirit would repose
Safe in God's mighty keeping close.
3. Meekly beneath his hand

Lieth my helplessness,
Thinking and caring naught
Save what he purposes,
And in utter calm abides,
Dead to self and to all besides.

But God who lives in me,
Reigning and triumphing
In love's sweet majesty;
May he mine for ever be,
God who One is in Trinity. Amen.

The golden stars are glowing
In yonder dark - blue deep ;
And such the glory given
When called of God to heaven,
On earth no more we pine and weep.

For night the tired releases
And bids sweet rest begin :
My heart, there comes a morrow
Shall set thee free from sorrow
And all the dreary toil of sin..

And let no 'foe come nigh me,
Safe sheltered by Thy wing ;

Now be near
Round my habitation.

Let me rise
With the wise
Counted in their number. Amen.

May bear our lower part.

But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky.
And stay by my side until morning is nigh,
3. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay

Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.
HYMN 97 (127) 8.7.8.7.7.7.

“Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.”
1. Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly. cattle-shed,
Where a Mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed.
Mary was that Mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little Child.
2. He came down to earth from Heaven

Who is God and Lord of all,
And His shelter was a stable,
And His cradle was a stall.
With the poor, and mean, and lowly;
Lived on earth our Saviour Holy.
3. And through all His wondrous Childhood

He would honour and obey;
Love, and watch the lowly Maiden
In whose gently arms He lay.
Christian children all must be
Mild, obedient, good as He.
4. For He is our childhood‟s pattern:

Day by day like us He grew;
He was little, weak, and helpless;
Tears and smiles like us He knew;
And He feeleth for our sadness,
And He shareth in our gladness.
5. And our eyes at last shall see Him,

Through His own redeeming Love ;
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in Heaven above ;
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone.
6. Not in that poor lowly stable,

With the oxen standing by
We shall see Him, but in Heaven
Set at God's Right Hand on High,
When, like stars, His children crowned,
All in white shall wait around. Amen.
HYMN 98 (128) 6.6.6.6.8.8.

1. Let earth and heaven combine,
Angels and men agree,
To praise in songs divine
The incarnate Deity,
Our God contracted to a span,
Incomprehensibly made man.
2. He laid His glory by,

He wrapped Him in our clay ;
Unmarked by human eye,
The latent Godhead lay ;
Infant of days He here became,
And bore the mild Immanuel's name.
3. Unsearchable the love

That hath the Saviour brought;
The grace is far above
Or man or angel's thought ;
Suffice for us that God, we know;
Our God, is manifest below.
4. He deigns in flesh to appear,

Widest extremes to join ;
To bring our vileness near;
And make us all divine :
And we the life of God shall know,
For God is manifest below.
5. Made perfect first in love,

And sanctified by grace,
We shall from earth remove,
And see His glorious face:
Then shall His love be fully showed,
And man shall then be lost in God. Amen.

“Behold, I bring tidings of great joy.” Luke ii. 10

Whereon the Saviour of mankind was born;
Rise to adore the mystery of love,
Which hosts of Angels chanted from above;
With them the joyful tidings first begun
Of God Incarnate and the Virgin‟s Son.

Who heard the Angelic herald's voice: Behold,
I bring good tidings of a Saviour's birth
To you and all the nations upon earth:
This day hath God fulfilled His promised word,
This day is born a Saviour, Christ the Lord."
3. He spake; and straightway the celestial choir

In hymns of joy, unknown before conspire
The praises of redeeming love they sang,
And heaven's whole orb with Alleluias rang ;
God's highest glory was their anthem still,
Peace upon earth, and unto men good will.
4. To Bethlehem straight the enlightened shepherds ran,

To see the wonder God had wrought for man
And found, with Joseph and the Blessed Maid,
Her Son, the Saviour in a manger laid ;
Then to their flocks, still praising God, return,
And their glad hearts with holy rapture burn.
5. Oh! may we keep and ponder in our mind

God's wondrous love in saving lost mankind;
Trace we the Babe, Who hath retrieved our loss,
From His poor manger to his bitter Cross ;
Tread in His steps, assisted by His grace,
Till man's first heavenly state again takes place.
6. Then may we hope, the Angelic hosts among,

To sing, redeemed, a glad triumphal song ;
He that was born upon this joyful day
Around us all his glory shall display ;
Saved by His love, incessant we shall sing
Eternal praise to Heaven's Almighty King. Amen.

And praises sing to God the King,

So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His Heaven.

But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him, still
The dear Christ enters in.

To the holy angel's word ;
Happy they within that stable,
Worshiping their infant Lord.
2. Happy all who hear the message

Of His coming from above ;
Happier still who hail His coming,
And with praises greet His love.
Blessed Saviour, Christ most holy,
In a manger Thou didst rest;
Canst Thou stoop again, yet lower,
And abide within my breast ?
3. Evil things are there before Thee ;

In the heart, where they have fed,
Wilt Thou pitifully enter,
Son of Man, and lay Thy head ?
Enter, then, O Christ most holy ;
Make a Christmas in my heart ;
Make a heaven of my manger :
It is heaven where Thou art.
4. And to those who never listened

To the message of Thy birth,
Who have winter, but no Christmas
Bringing them Thy peace on earth,
Send to these the joyful tidings ;
By all people, in each home,
Be there heard the Christmas anthem :
Praise to God, the Christ has come ! Amen.

Brought righteousness and peace.

Still lives the world to win.

Frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone ;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter,
Long ago.
2. Our God, heaven cannot hold Him,

Nor earth sustain ;
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign :
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.
3. Angels and archangels

May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air ;
But His mother only,
In her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Belove'd
With a kiss.
4. What can I give Him.

Poor as I am ?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb ;
If I were a wise man,
I would do my part ;
Yet what I can I give Him
Give my heart. Amen.

"We have seen His star in the east, and are come to worship Him. " Matt. ii. 2.

Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid;
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,

Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Saviour of all.
3. Say, shall we yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odours of Edom, and offerings divine,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine?
4. Vainly we offer each ample oblation,

Vainly with gifts would His favour secure ;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5. Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,

Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid,
Star of the East, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Amen.

And not on great glory
But ye were born just like a poor person
The animals shed
Is thy place of abode.
3. Shining stars came all out

That which told thy story
Say to the wise men that a king is born
They from their own homes
Did come forth to worship.

Their flocks over they watch,

Which He's done for mankind.

When thou, the king, were born
Sang songs of praise unto God Almighty,

Upon earth be peace."

To be our Redeemer from death, hell, and sin,
Which Adam's transgression hath wrapped us in
And therefore be merry; set sorrow aside;
Christ Jesus our Saviour was born on this tide.
2. In Bethlehem in Jewry, a city there was

Where Joseph and Mary together did pass,
All for to be taxed with many one moe,
For Caesar commanded the same should be so
3. But when they had entered the city so fair,
A number of people so mighty was there,
That Joseph and Mary, whose substance was small
Could find in the inn there no lodging at all.
4. Then were they constrained in a stable to lie

Where horses and asses they used for to tie:
Their lodging so simple they took it no scorn,
But against the next morning our Saviour was born,
5. The King of all kings to this world being brought,

Small store of fine linen to wrap Him was sought,
But when she had swaddled her young son so sweet,
Within an ox-manger she laid Him to sleep.
6. Then God sent an angel from heaven so high

To certain poor shepherds in fields where they lie,
And bade them no longer in sorrow to stay,
Because that our Saviour was born on this day.
7. Then presently after the shepherds did spy

A number of angels that stood in the sky,
They joyfully talked and sweetly did sing.
To God be all glory, our heavenly King. Amen.

Learn Thy discipline of will,
And, like Thee, by fast and prayer
Wrestle with the powers of ill ?
3. What if Satan, vexing sore,

Flesh and spirit shall assail ?
Thou, his vanquisher before,
Wilt not suffer us to fail.
4. Sunbeams scorching day by day ;

Chilly dew-drops nightly shed ;
Prowling beasts about Thy way ;
Stones Thy pillow ; earth Thy bed.

Victory ours at last shall be ;

As they minister'd to Thee.

Only cling, Lord, to Thy side ;
That with Thee we may rejoice
At the eternal Eastertide. Amen.

The Angel-armies of the sky
Look down with sad and wondering eyes T
To see the approaching Sacrifice.

Awaits His own Anointed Son.

In lowly pomp ride on to die.
Bow Thy meek Head in mortal pain,
Then take, 0 God, Thy power and reign. Amen.

Without a city wall.
Where the dear Lord was crucified
Who died to save us all.
2. We may not know, we cannot tell

What pains He had to bear ;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there.
3. He died that we might be forgiven,

He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to Heaven,
Saved by His precious Blood.
4. There was no other good enough

To pay the price of sin ;
He only could unlock the gate
Of Heaven, and let us in.

And we must love Him too,
And trust in His redeeming Blood,
And try His works to do. Amen.

Of Him Who died upon the Cross ;
The sinner's hope let men deride,
For this we count the world but loss,
2. Inscribed upon the Cross we see,
In shining letters, " God is Love" ;
He bears our sins upon the Tree,
He brings us mercy from above.
3. The Cross! it takes our guilt away ;

It holds the fainting spirit up ;
It cheers with hope the gloomy day,
And sweetens every bitter cup.
4. It makes the coward spirit brave,

And nerves the feeble arm for fight ;
It takes its terror from the grave,
And gilds the bed of death with light.
5. The balm of life, the cure of woe,

The measure and the pledge of love,
The sinner's refuge here below,
The Angels' theme in Heaven above. Amen.

They know not what they do !"
The Saviour spake in anguish,
As the sharp nails went through.

To them that shed His Blood,
But prayer and tenderest pity,
Large as the Love of God.
3. For me was that compassion,
For me that tender care ;
I need His wide forgiveness
As much as any there.
4. It was my pride and hardness

That hung Him on the Tree ;
Those cruel nails,
O Saviour, Were driven in by me.
5. And often I have slighted

Thy gentle Voice that chid;
Forgive me too, Lord Jesus;
I knew not what I did.
6. Odepth of sweet compassion!

O Love Divine and true!
Save Thou the souls that slight Thee,
And know not what they do. Amen.

“God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Gal. Vi:14
1. When I survey the wondrous Cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
2. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,

Save in the Cross of Christ my God ;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His Blood.
3. See, from His Head, His Hands, His Feet,

Sorrow and love flow mingled down ;
Did e'er such love and sorrow meet ?
Or thorns compose so rich a Crown ?
4. Were the whole realm of nature mine,

That were an offering far too small ;
Love so amazing, so Divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all. Amen.
HYMN 124 (690) 7.7.7.7.

1. Christ will gather in His own
To the place where He is gone,
Where their heart nad treasure lie,
Where our life is hid on high.
2. Day by day the Voice saith, "Come,

Enter thine Eternal Home:"
Asking not if we can spare
This dear soul, it summons there.
3. Had He asked us, well we know

We should cry, "Oh! Spare this blow:
Yea, with streaming tears should pray,
"Lord, we love him, let him stay."
4. But the Lord doth naught amiss,

And, since He hath ordered this,
We have naught to do, but still
Rest in silence on His Will.

Ah, was all too inly dear!
Yet, O Love, 'tis Thou dost call,
Thou wilt be our All in all. Amen.

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not 1, but Christ liveth in me.” Gal.ii:20
1. Oh, the bitter shame and sorrow,
That a time could ever be,
When I let the Saviour's pity
Plead in vain, and proudly answered,
" All of self, and none of Thee."
2. Yet He found me; I beheld Him
Bleeding on the accursed Tree,
Heard Him pray: "Forgive them, Father;"
And my wistful heart said faintly;
"Some of self, and some of Thee."
3. Day by day His tender mercy,

Healing, helping, full and free,
Sweet and strong, and ah! so patient,
Brought me lower, while I whispered,

Of that country so bright and so fair ;

Of its walls decked with jewels most rare,
Its wonders and pleasures untold ;

From sorrow, temptation, and care,
From trials without and withing ;

With which we can never compare
The sweetest on earth we can raise ;

Of the robes which the glorified wear,
The Church of the First-born above;
But what must it be to be there?
6. Do Thou, Lord, midst pleasure or woe,

Still for Heaven our spirits prepare ;
And shortly we also shall know
And feel what it is to be there. Amen.

With grief and shame weighed down;
O Kingly Head! surrounded
With thorns, Thine only crown;
Once reigning in the highest
In light and majesty,
Here mocked and scorned, Thou diest,
And here I worship Thee.
2. Thy grief and bitter Passion

Were all for sinners gain;
Mine mine was the transgression,
But Thine the cruel pair :
Lo! here I fall, my Saviour,
Turn not from me Thy Face,
But look on me with favour,
Vouchsafe to me Thy grace.
3. What language can I borrow

To praise Thee, Heavenly Friend,
For this, Thy dying sorrow,
Thy love that hath no end?
Lord, make me Thine for ever!
Oh! may I faithful be!
And let me never never
Outlive my love to Thee!
4. Be near when I am dying ;

Oh! show Thy Cross to me ;
And for my succour flying,
Come, Lord, and set me free.

From Thee shall never move ;

Dies safely in Thy love. Amen.

Who pleads before the throne of God
The merit of His precious blood,

If on Jesus thy guilt was not laid ?
Oh, why from His side flowed the sin cleansing blood,
If His dying thy debt has not paid ?
3. It is not thy tears of repentance or prayers,

But the Blood, that atones for the soul ;
On Him, then, who shed it, thou mayest at once
Thy weight of iniquities roll.

There remaineth no more to be done;
That once in the end of the world He appeared,
And completed the work He begun.

The life everlasting He gives;
And know with assurance thou never canst die
Since Jesus, thy righteousness, lives. Amen

Let the Water and the Blood,
From Thy riven Side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2. Not the labours of my hands

Can fulfil Thy law's demands ;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone,
Thou must save, and Thou alone
3. Nothing in my hand I bring ;

Simply to Thy Cross I cling ;
Naked, come to Thee for dress ;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace
Vile, I to the Fountain fly ;
Wash me, Saviour! or I die.
4. While I draw this fleeting breath,

When mine eyelids close in death,
When I soar through tracts unknown
See Thee on Thy Judgment Throne,
Rock of ages! cleft for me.
Let me hide myself in Thee. Amen.

Faint and bleeding, who is He ?
By the Eyes so pale and dim,
Streaming Blood and writhing Limb,

By the rainbow round His Brow,

Thus spake the dying lips to dying Ears;
O faith, which in that darkness hour could see
The promised glory of the far-off years!

No ray of hope lights up that awful hour;
A thorny crown surrounds the bleeding Brow,
The Hands are stretched in weakness, not in power.

“Thou too shalt rest in Paradise today;”
O words of love to answer words of faith!
O words of hope for those who live to pray!

Grant that in faith Thy kingdom I may see;
And, thinking on Thy Cross and bleeding Head,
May breath my parting words, “Remember me”.

Thy cleansing Blood hath washed them all away ;
Thy precious Death for me did pardon win ;
Thy Blood redeemed me in that awful day

What pain and anguish I have caused to Thee,
The Cross, the Agony, the Bloody Sweat,
And all the sorrow Thou didst bear for me ?

Speak Thou the assuring Word that sets us free
And make Thy promise to my heart, " To-day

There her Mournful station keeping,
Gazing on her dying Son;

Bowed in sorrow so amazing,
Would not with His Mother mourn?
T'was our sins brought Him from Heaven;
These the cruel nails had driven;
All His griefs for us were borne.

When there was no arm to save us,
He His love and power displayed;
By His stripes He wrought our healing,
By His Death, our life revealing,
He for us the ransom paid.

“Now there stood by the Cross of Jesus, His Mother.” John xix:24
1. Beneath the Cross of Jesus
I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty Rock,
Within a weary land:
A home within the wilderness,
A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,
And the burden of the day.
2. O safe and happy shelter!

O refuge tried and sweet!
O trysting place, where Heaven's love
And Heaven's justice meet!
As to the holy Patriarch
That wondrous dream was given,
So seems my Saviour's Cross to me
A ladder up to Heaven.
3. There lies beneath its shadow,

But on the further side,
The darkness of an awful grave
That gapes both deep and wide;
And there between us stands the Cross,
Two arms outstretched to save,
Like a watchman set to guard the way
From that eternal grave.
4. Upon that Cross of Jesus

Mine eye at times can see
The very dying Form of One,
Who suffered there for me;
And from my smitten heart, with tears,
Two wonders I confess,
The wonders of His glorious Love,
And my own worthlessness.
5. I take, O Cross, Thy shadow

For my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His Face ;
Content to let the world go by,
And count its gain but loss ;
My sinful self, my only shame,
My glory all the Cross. Amen.

Darkness veils Thine anguished Face ;
Non e its lines of woe can trace;
None can tell what pangs unknown
Hold Thee silent and alone,
2. Silent through three dread hours,

Wrestling with the evil powers.
Left alone with human sin.
Gloom around Thee and within
Till the appointed time is nigh;
Till the appointed time is nigh,
Till the Lamb of God, may die.
3. Hark that cry that peals aloud

Upward through the whelming cloud!
Thou, the Father‟s only Son,
Thou, His own Anointed One,
Thou dost ask Him can it be?
“Why hast Thou forsaken Me?”

Darkly o'er my sinful soul,
Thou, Who once wast thus bereft
That Thine own might ne'er be left,
Teach me by that bitter cry
In the gloom to know Thee nigh. Amen.

Shall never lose its power,

Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,

Lies silent in the grave.

Unworthy though I be,

And armies of the sky:

And turn to gain our loss;

On Christ, on Christ alone;

Though mercy long delay;
Courage our fainting souls to keep,
And trust Thee though Thou slay.

Thus strengthened with all might,
We through Thy Spirit and Thy Son,
Shall pray, and pray aright. Amen.

Always speak the truth;
Whether at your work pr play,
Never from this rule depart,
Grave it deeply on your heart,

Stoops to falsehood; then, be brave;

3•Always speak the truth;

There's a triumph to be won,
He who speaks with lying tongue
Adds to wrong a greater wrong;
Then, with courage true and strong,
Always speak the truth. Amen.

1. For the bread and for the wine,
For the pledge that seals Him mine,
For the words of love divine, We give Thee thanks, 0 Lord.

Earnest of the Kingdom's bliss, We give Thee Thanks, 0 Lord.

Yet to faith the solemn sign .
Of the heavenly and divine !
We give Thee Thanks, 0 Lord.
4. For the words that turn our eye To the cross of Calvary,
Bidding us in faith draw nigh, We give Thee Thanks, 0 Lord.

Words that His own peace bequeath, We give Thee Thanks, 0 Lord.
6. For the words that tell of home, Pointing us beyond the tomb, ,
"Do ye this until I come,"
We give Thee Thanks, 0 Lord. Amen.

1. 0 Body bruised for my sake,
And dying on the awful Tree!
That I from death new life should take,
And live engrafted into Thee.

And lay Thee down in rocky tomb,
Within my heart for ever lie,
And shed Thy brightness o'er its gloom,
3. 0 precious Blood! so freely shed, The pledge of pardon from above;

Speak to my heart, so cold and dead, And wake it into life and love.
4. Speak better thing's than Abel's blood My ransom paid, my sins forgiven!
My soul restored to peace with God, My place prepared for me in Heaven.

one,
Grant us at every Eucharist to say
With longing heart and soul, "Thy will be done."
Oh, may we all one Bread, one Body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
2. For all Thy Church, 0 Lord, we intercede; Make Thou our sad divisions soon to
cease;
Draw us the nearer each to each, we plead, By drawing: all to Thee, 0 Prince of Peace;
Thus may we all one Bread, one Body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
3. We pray Thee too for wanderers from Thy Fold;

O bring them back, Good Shepherd of the sheep,
Back to the Faith which Saints believed of old,
Back to the Church which still that Faith doth keep
Soon may we all one Bread, one Body be, Through this blest Sacrament of Unity.
4. So, Lord, at length when Sacraments shall cease,

May we be one with all Thy Church above, One with Thy Saints in one unbroken peace,
One with Thy Saints in one unbounded love: More blessed still, in peace and love to be
One with the Trinity in Unity. Amen.

1. Twas on that night when doomed to know
The eager rage of every foe,
That night in which He was betrayed,
The Saviour of the world'took bread;
2. And, after thanks and glory given
To Him that rules in earth and heaven,
` That symbol of His flesh He broke, And thus to all His followers spoke :
3. My broken body thus I give
For you, for all; take, eat, and live:
And oft the sacred rite renew
That brings My wondrous love to view.'
4. Then in His hands the cup He raised, And God anew He thanked and praised,
While kindness in His bosom glowed, And from His lips salvation flowed.
5. My blood I thus pour forth; He cries, To cleanse the soul in sin that lies ;
In this the covenant is sealed,
And Heaven's eternal grace revealed.

Through latest ages let it pour
In memory of My dying hour. Amen.

What have we to fear? Only let us follow
Whither He doth lead,

How its gentlest whisper Makes our heart rejoice;
Even when He chideth, Tender is its tone:
None but He shall guide us; We are His alone.

With the Blood He shed; Then on each He setteth
His own secret sign "They that have My Spirit,
These," saith He, "are Mine."

And His tender mercy,

Let us sing His praises With a gladsome heart,

Showers, the thirsty land refreshing;

Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou might‟st leave me but the rather

Thou canst make the blind to see;
Witnesser of Jesus‟ merit,
Speak the word of power to me,

Long been slighting, grieving Thee?
Has the world my heart been keeping?
Oh! Forgive and rescue me,

Blood of Christ, so rich and free,
Grace of God, so strong and boundless,
Magnify them all in me,

All my heart to Thee is springing;
Blessing others, Oh bless me,
Even me! Amen

And let my life appear,
As seen by Thine all searching Eye,
To mine, my ways make clear.
2. Search all my sense, and know my heart,

Who only canst make known,
And let the deep, the hidden part
To me be fully shown.
3. Throw light into the darkened cells,

Where passion reigns within;
Quicken my conscience till it feels
The loathsomeness of sin.
4. Search all my thoughts, the secret springs,

The motives that control;
The chambers where polluted things
Hold empire o'er the soul.
5. Search, till Thy fiery glance has cast
Its holy light through all,
And I by grace am brought at last
Before Thy Face to fall.

Thee What now I feebly prove,
That God alone in Christ can be
Unutterable love! Amen.

Zion, city of our God !
He, Whose Word cannot be broken,
Formed thee for His own abode:
On the Rock of ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's walls surrounded,
Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.
2. See ! the streams of living waters,

Springing from eternal love,
Well supply Thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove:
Who can faint while such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage?

Never fails from age to age.
3. Round each habitation hovering,

See the cloud and fire appear,
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near.

Light by night, and shade by day,
Daily on the Manna feeding,
Which He gives them when they pray.
4. Saviour, if of Zion's city,

I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pitv.

Love to the loveless shown.
That they might lovely be.
O Who am I,
That for my sake,
My Lord should take
Frail flesh, and die?

Salvation to bestow:
But men made strange, and none
The longed for Christ would know.
But O my Friend !
My Friend indeed,
Who at my need
His life did spend.
3. Sometimes They strew His way,

And His sweet praises sing;
Resounding all the day,
Hosannas to their King.
Then : Crucify !
Is all their breath,
And for His death
4. Why, what hath my Lord done?

What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
He gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries !
Yet they at these

Themselves displease,
And gainst Him rise
5. They rise and needs will have

My dear Lord made away;
A murderer they save;
The Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful He
To suffering goes,
That He His foes
From thence might free.
6. In life, no house, no home

My Lord on earth might have;
In death, no friendly tomb
But what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heav'n was His home;
But mine the tomb
Wherein He lay.
7. Here might I stay and sing,

No strong so divine;
Never was love, dear king,
Never was grief like Thine.
This is my friend,
In whose sweet praise
I all my days
Could gladly spend. Amen.

2. Above the level of the former years,

The mire of sin, the slough of guilty fears,
The mist of doubt, the blight of love's decay,
O Lord of Light, lift all our hearts today!
3. Above the swamps of subterfuge and shame;

The deeds, the thoughts, that honour may not name,
The halting tongue that dares not tell the whole,
O Lord of Truth, lift every Christian soul !
4. Above the storms that vex this lower state,

Pride, jealousy and envy, rage and hate,
And cold mistrust, that holds e'en friends apart,
O Lord of Love, lift every brother's heart !
5. Then, as the trumpet call, in after years,

"Lift up your hearts !" rings pealing in our ears,
Still shall those hearts respond, with full accord,
"We lift them up, we lift them to the Lord!" Amen.

With costly ointments and with tears!

All that liberal autumn pours
From her rich o'er flowing stores:

Love Thee for Thyself alone. Amen.

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

1. Father, I know that all my life
Is portioned out for me,
And the changes that are sure to come
I do not fear to see;
But I ask Thee for a present mind,
Intent on pleasing Thee.
2. I ask Thee for a thoughtful love,

Through constant watching wise,
To meet the glad with joyful smiles,
And wipe the weeping eyes;
And a heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathize.

That hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do
Or secret thing to know;
I would be treated as a child,
And guided where I go.

In whatsoe'er estate,
I have a fellowship with hearts
To keep and cultivate;
And a work of lowly love to do
For the Lord on whom I wait.

To none that ask denied,
And a mind to blend with outward life
Still keeping at Thy side;
Content to fill a little space
If Thou be glorified.

That call for patient care;
There is a cross in every lot,
And a constant need for prayer:
Yet a lowly heart, that leans on Thee,
Is happy anywhere.

There are no bonds for me:
For my inmost soul is taught the truth
That makes Thy children free,
And a life of self renouncing love

I cannot stand alone, dness

No wisdom of my own;

If leaning hard on Thee.

For Oh, the way And I am often weary,
And sigh replaces song;
How could I do without Thee?
I do not know the way;
Thou knowest, and Thou leadest,
And wilt not let me stray.

O Jesus, Saviour dear;
Fen when my eyes are holden
I know that Thou art near;
How dreary and how lonely
This changeful life would be
Without the sweet communion,
The secret rest with Thee.
5. I could not do without Thee;

No other friend can read
The spirit's strange deep longings,
Interpreting its need;
No human heart could enter
Each dim recess of mine,
And soothe, and hush, and calm it,
O Blessed Lord, but Thine.
6. I could not do without Thee;

For years are fleeting fast,
And soon in solemn loneness
The river must be passed:

I know Thou wilt be near me,
And whisper, "It is I." Amen.

Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the promised Land.

Gleams and burns the guiding Light:

Stepping fearless through the night.

That Thou my God shouldst die for me?

To sound the depth of love divine !

Let angel minds inquire no more.

(So free, so infinite His grace !)
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam's helpless race:
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me !
4. Long my imprisoned spirit lay

Fast bound in sin and nature's night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light:
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,

Foot it bravely; strong or weary,

Whether losing, whether winning,

Trust no leaders in the fight;

Friends might look like Angels bright;
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
Trust no custom, school, or fashion:

Some will flatter, some will slight;
Cease from man, and look above thee:

Inward peace, and inward might,
Star upon our path abiding,

'Tis finished ! All is finished,
Their fight with death and sin ;
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2. What rush of Hallelujahs

Fills all the earth and sky !
What ringin of a thousand harps.
Bespeaks the triumph nigh !
O day, for which creation
And all its tribeG were made!
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid !
3. Oh ! Then what raptured greetings

On Canaan's happy shore,
What knitting severed friendships up,
Where partings are no more !
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
That brimmed with tears of late ;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4. Bring near Thy great Salvation,

Thou Lamb tor sinners slain ;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power and reign ;
5. Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home ;
Show in the heavens Thy promised sing ;
Thou Prince and Saviour, come. Amen.

1. Dear Lord, on this Thy servant's day,
Who left for Thee the gold and mart,
Who heard Thee whisper, "Come away,"
And followed with a single heart,
2. Give us, amid earth's weary moil,

And wealth for which men cark and care,
'Mid fortune's pride, and need's wild toil,
And broken hearts in purple rare,
3. Give us Thy grace to rise above

The glare of this world's smelting fires ;
Let God's great love put out the love
Of gold, and gain, and low desires.
4. Still sweetly rings the Gospel strain

Of golden store that knows not rust :
The love of Christ is more than gain,
And heavenly crowns than yellow dust. Amen.
CHCHB 592 (136)

1. Fading away like the stars of the morning,
Losing their light in the glorious sun
Thus would we pass from the earth and its toiling,
Only remembered by what we have done.
Chorus:
Only remembered, only remembered,
Only remembered by what we have done;
Thus would we pass from the earth
and its toiling,
Only remembered by what we have done.
2. Shall we be missed, tho by others succeeded,

Reaping the fields we in spring time have sown?
Yes, but the sewers must pass from their labours,
Ever remembered by what they have done.
3. Only the truth that in life we have spoken,

Only the seed that on earth we have sown;
These shall pass onward when we are forgotten,
Fruits of the harvest and what we have done.
4. Oh, when the Saviour shall make up His jewels,

When the bright crowns of rejoicing are won,
Then shall His weary and faithful disciples
All be remembered by what they have done. Amen.
CHCHB 593 (-)

1. Behold, the Master passeth by !
Oh, seem thou not His pleading Eyes?
With low sad Voice He calleth thee
"Leave this vain world, and follow Me."
2. O Soul, bowed down with harrowing care,

Hast thou no thought for Heaven to spare?
From earthly toils lift up thine eye;
Behold, the Master passeth by !
3. One heard Him calling long ago,

And straightway left all things below,
Counting his earthly gain as loss
For Jesus and His blessed Cross.
4. That "Follow Me" his faithful ear

Semed every day afresh to hear :
Its echoes stirred his spirit still,
And fired his hope, and nerved his will.
5. God gently calls us every day :

Why should we then our bliss delay?
He calls to Heaven and endless light :
Why should we love the dreary night?
6. Praise, Lord, to Thee for Matthew's call,

At which he rose and left his all :
Thou, Lord, e'en now art calling me,
I we leave all, and follow Thee. Amen.
CHCHB 594 (-)
1. With 6-embling awe the chosen three
The holy mount ascended,
Where, wrapped in blissful ecstasy,
They saw the Vision splend4
Their Lord arrayed in living ligkt,
And on His left hand and His right
By glorious Saints attended.
2. O Vision bright, too bright to tell,

The joys of Heaven unveiling !
How precious on those hearts it fell,
When earthly hopes were failing ;
When Saints no more on either side,
Between the thieves the Saviour died,
'Mid hate, and scorn, and railing !
3. Grant us, dear Lord, some vision brief

Of future triumph telling,
Gilding with hope our night of grief,
Our clouds of fear dispelling.
If the dim foretaste was so bright,
O what shall be the dazzling light
Of Thy Eternal dwelling ! Amen.
CHCHB 595 (-)

1. There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign :
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2. There everlasting spring abides,

And never withering flowers ;
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
That heavenly land from ours.
3. Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood

Stand dressed in living green ;
Fen so to Israel Canaan stood
While Jordan rolled between.
4. But timorous mortals start and shrink

To cross the narrow sea,
And linger shivering on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5. Oh, could we make our doubts remove,

Those gloomy doubts that rise,
And see the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes !
6. Could we but climb where Moses stood,

And view the landscape o'er,
Not Jordan's stream, nor death's cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Amen.
CHCHB 596 (-)

1. How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their white army ?
How came they to the blissful seats
Of everlasting day ?
2. Lo! these are they from sufferings great

Who came to realms of light;

Those robes that shine so bright.
3. Now with triumphal palms they stand

Before the Throne on high,
And serve the God they love amidst
The glories of the sky.
4. His Presence fills each heart with joy,

Tunes every mouth to sing;
By day, by night, the sacred courts,
With glad Hosannas ring.
5. Hunger and thirst are felt no more, -

Nor sun with scorching ray;
God is their Sun, Whose cheering beams
Diffuse eternal day.
6. The Lamb, Which dwells amidst the Throne,

Shall o'er them still preside,
Feed them with nourishment Divine,
And all their footsteps guide.
7. In pastures green He'll lead His flock,

Where living streams appear;
And God the Lord from every eye
Shall wipe off every tear.
8. To Him Who sits upon the Throne,

The God Whom we adore,
And to the Lamb That once was slain,
Be glory evermore! Amen.

Bring near our hearts m Thee.

In every pang we feel
Thyself our great physician
Thyself vouchsafe to heal.

No cordial like Thy Grace,
Our sins can cleanse, our souls restore,
And cheer our drooping face.

Those cordial balms to me;
And let my burdened, fainting soul,
Find life and health in Thee. Amen.

These are Thy messengers, these dost Thou send,
Help of the helpless ones! Man to defend.
3. Then, when the oft was first ministers, these dost Thou
Then, when the planets first sped on their race,
Then, when were ended the six days' employ
Then all the Sons of God shouted for joy .

Thrones, Principalities, Virtues, and Powers :
Where, with the Living Ones, mystical Four,
Cherubim, Seraphim, bow and adore.
5. Still let them succour us; still let them fight,

Lord of Angelic Hosts, battling for right !
Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
We, with the Angels, may bow and adore! Amen.
CHCHB 599 (18)

1. Father, before Thy Throne of light
The guardian Angels bend,
And ever in Thy Presence bright ;
Their psalms adoring blend ;
And casting down each golden crown,
Beside the crystal sea,
With voice and lyre, in happy choir,
Hymn glory, Lord, to Thee.
2. And as the rainbow lustre falls

Athwart their glowing wings,
While Seraph unto Seraph calls,
And each Thy goodness sings ;
So may we feel, as low we kneel
To pray Thee for Thy grace,
That Thou art here, for all who fear
The brightness of Thy Face.
3. Here, where the Angels see us come

To worship day by day,
Teach us to seek our Heavenly Home,
And serve Thee.e'en as they ;

With them Thy love to own,
That childhood's flower, and manhood's power,
Be Thine, and Thine alone. Amen.

Once more to front the host:

Among the Blessed Four,
And all the world rejoiceth
To learn his Gospel lore.

That Name in earth and sky,
In which, though mortal strength may fail,
The Saints of God at last prevail!
2. Oh, surely he was blest

With blessedness unpriced,
Who, taught of God, confessed
The Godhead in the Christ !
For of Thy Church, Lord, Thou didst own
Thy Saint a true foundation stone.
3. Thrice was he put to shame,

Thrice did the dauntless fall ;
But, oh, that look that came
From out the judgment hall!
It pierced and broke the spell bound heart
And foiled the tempter's sifting art.

The bitter lesson learnt,
That heart for Thee, 0 Lord,
With triple ardour bunt.-
The cross he took he laid not down
Untill he-grasped the Martyr's crown.

1. Well worth the long ascent,
Up to the lonely height,
Where Jesus led His chosen three
To share that wondrous night.
2. There-where the glory streamed

From that beloved Face,
There-where the bright, enfolding cloud
Wrapt Him in Heaven's embrace.
3. While Prophet Saints of old

Held converse with their Lord,
And through the silent, fleeting hours
Earth slept, while Heaven adored.
4. Until the moment came

When all the light grew dim,
And in the dark they felt His touch
And were alone with Him.
5. Christ, let not our tired eyes,

Sleep-weighted, fail to see,
When up some steep ascent by night
Thou bid'st us follow Thee.
6. Never for nought Thy call,

Some vision new and sweet
Will surely prove well worth it all
Long toil arid weary feet. -

Blessed the eye's that see,
Blessed the cloud that wraps us round,
And show us more of Thee. Amen.

1. For those we love within the veil,
Who once were comrades of our way,
We thank thee, Lord ; for they have won
To cloudless day ;
2. And life for them is life indeed,

The splendid goal of earth's strait race ;
And where no shadows intervene
They see thy face.

Toilworn, and sad with burdened care :
Erect, clear eyed, upon their brows
Thy name they bear.
4. Free from the fret of mortal years,

And knowing now thy perfect will,
With quickened sense and heightened joy,
They serve thee still.
5. O fuller, sweeter is that life,

And larger, ampler is the air:

The glory there;
6. Nor know to what high purpose thou

Dost yet employ their ripened powers,
Nor how at thy behest they touch
This life of ours.
7. There are no tears within their eyes:

With love they keep perpetual tryst:
And praise and work and rest are one
With thee, O Christ. Amen.

1. I heard a sound of voices
Around the great white Throne,
With harpers harping on their harps
To Him Who sat thereon ;
"Salvation, glory, honour,"
I heard the song arise,
As through the courts of Heaven it rolled
In wondrous harmonies.
2. I saw the Holy City,

The New Jerusalem,
Come down from Heaven a Bride adorned
With jewelled diadem:
The flood of crystal waters
Flowed down the golden street;
And nations brought their honours there,
And laid them at her feet.
3. And there nor sun was needed,

Nor moon to shine by night,
Gods glory did enlighten all,
The Lamb Himself the Light:
And there His servants serve Him,
And, life's long battle o'er,
Enthroned with Him, their Saviour, King,
They reign for evermore.
4. From every clime and kindred,

And nations from afar,
As serried ranks returning home
In triumph from a war:
I heard the Saints upraising:
The myriad hosts among,
In praise of Him Who died, and lives,
Their one glad triumph song.
5. O great and glorious vision !

The Lamb upon His Throne
O wondrous sight for man to see!
The Saviour with His own!
To drink the Living Waters,
And stand upon the shore,
Where neither sorrow sin, nor death,
Shall ever enter more.
6. O Lamb of God, Who reignest :

Thou Bright and Morninng Star,
Whose glory lightens that new earth
Which now we see from far;
O worthy Judge Eternal !
Then open wide the gates of pearl,
And call Thy servants Home. Amen.

On which the living church doth rest,
The church whose walls are strong salvation
Whose gates are praise, Thy Name be bless'd
2. Son of the Living God, oh, call us

Once and again to fallow Thee :
And give us strength, whate'er befall us,
Thy true disciples still to be.
3. When fears appal, and faith is failing,

Make Thy Voice heard o'er wind and wave,
And in Thy perfect Love prevailing
Put forth Thine Hand to help and save.
4. And if our coward hearts deny Thee,

In inmost thought, in deed; or word,
Let not our hardness still defy Thee,
But with a look subdue us, Lord.

Thee in Thy sheep to serve and tend,
To give ourselves to Thee for ever,
And find Thee with us to the end. Amen.

1. O Son of God, our Captain of Salvation,
Thyself by suffering schooled to human grief,
We bless Thee for Thy sons of consolation,
Who follow in the steps of Thee their Chief;
2. Those whom Thy Spirit's dread vocation severs

To lead the vanguard of Thy conquering host;
Whose toilsome years are spent in brave endeavours
To bear Thy-saving Name from coast to coast;
3. Those whose bright faith makes feeble hearts grow

stronger,
And sends fresh warriors to the great campaign,
Bids the lone convert feel estranged So longer,
And wins the sundered to be one again;
4. And all true helpers, patient, kind, and skilful,

Who shed Thy light across our darkened earth,
Counsel the doubting, and restrain the wilful,
Soothe the sick bed, and share the children's mirth.
5. Such was Thy Levite, strong in self-oblation

To cast his all at Thine Apostle' feet;
He whose new name, through every Christian nation,
From age to age our thankful strains repeat.
6. Thus, Lord, Thy Barnabas in memory keeping,

Still be Thy Church's watchword, "Comfort ye;"
Till in our Father's House shall end our weeping,
And all our wants be satisfied in Thee. Amen.

1. Who shall be the last great seer
That the world goes forth to hear?
What shall be His warning cry,
When the Day of Doom draws nigh ?
Whence shall come the magic power
That in Man's supremest hour
Smoothes the rough and rugged road
For the highway of our God?
2. Few and short the words he speaks ;

Plain and straight the goal he seeks ;
Round his path shall never shine
Festal pomp or wondrous sign:
Lonely course and hopeless fight,
Rising doubt and dwindling light,
Such the lot of him whose name
Burns with ore than prophet's Flame.
3. "Change the heart and soul and mind,

Dark for bright and hard for kind ;
Wash you clean from stains of earth,
Leap into a second birth;
People, soldier, scribe, and priest,
Each from thrall of self released,
Live a life sincere and true,
For your King is close in view."
4. Thus appeared the Heaven sent man,

Foremost in the battle's van,
Herald of an unseen Light,
Martyr for the simple right.
May we learn, on this his day,
That in duty's homely way
Bravely, firmly, humbly trod,
Man can best prepare for God. Amen
CHCHB 608 (-)

Two and two before Thy Face,
Partners in the night of toiling,
Heirs together of Thy grace,
Throned at length, their labours ended,
Each in his appointed place;
2. Praise to Thee for those Thy champions

Whom our hymns to-day proclaim;
One whose zeal by Thee enlightened
Burned anew with nobler flame;
One, the kinsman of Thy Childhood,
Brought at last to know Thy Name.
3. Praise to Thee! Thy fire within them

Spake in love, and wrought in power;
Seen in mighty signs and wonders
In Thy Church's morning hour;
Heard in tones of sternest warning
When the storms began to lower.
3. Once again those storms are breaking,

Hearts are failing, love grows cold;
Faith is darkened, sin abounding,
Grievous wolves assail Thy fold:
Save us, Lord, our One Salvation,
Save the Faith revealed of old.
4. Call the erring by 1 by pity,

Warn the tempted by Thy fear,
Keep us true to Thine allegiance,
Counting life itself less dear;
Standing firmer, holding faster,
As we see the end draw near.
5. Till, with holy Jude and Simon

And the thousand fairhful more,
We, the good confession witnessed,
And the lifelong conflict o'er
On the sea of fire and crystal
Stand, and wonder, and adore.

In Thy works, to Thee be praise;
King of faints, to Thee be glory,
Just and true in all 'I by ways;

Holy Ghost, through endless days. Amen.

What are the peace and the joy that they own?
Oh that the blest ones, who in it have share,
All that they feel could as fully declare!
3. Truly, Jerusalem name we that shore,

Vision of peace, that brings joy evermore ;
Wish and fulfilment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for, come short of the prayer
4. There, where no troubles distraction can bring,

We the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing,
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people eternally raise.
5. There dawns no Sabbath. no Sabbath is o'er,

Those Sabbath-keepers have one evermore ;
One and unending is that triumph-song
Which to the Angel and us shall belong.
6. Now in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high

We for that country must yearn and must sigh;
Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land.
Through our long, exile no Babylon‟s strand.
7. Low before Him with our praise we fall,

Of Whom, and through Whom are all;
Of Whom, the Father; and in Whom, the Son ;
Through Whom, the Spirit, with Them ever One. Amen.

1. From out the cloud of amber light,
Borne on the whirlwind from the north,
Four living creatures winged and bright
Before the Prophet's eye came forth.
2. The voice of God was in the Four

Beneath that awful crystal mist,
And every wondrous form they wore
Foreshadowed an Evangelist.
3. The lion-faced, he told abroad

The strength of love, the strength of faith;
He showed the Almighty Son of God,
The Man Divine Who won by death.
4. O Lion of the Royal Tribe,

Strong Son of God, and strong to save,
All power and honour we ascribe
To Thee Who only makest brave.

For fiery crowns by Martyrs won,
For suffering patience, strong and meek,
We praise Thee, Lord, and Thee alone. Amen.

Our weak heart clings,
Hast given us joys, tender and true,

Thou hast granted my request,
Thou host heard me;
Thou didst note my working breast,
Thou host spared me.

I will sing Thee.
And the cream of all my heart
I will bring Thee.
Though my sins against me cried,
Thou didst clear me;
And alone, when they replied,
Thou didst hear me.

I will praise Thee,
In my heart, though not in heaven,

1. Holy off'ring, rich and rare,
Offerings of praise and prayer,
Purer life and purpose high,
Clasped hands, uplifted eye,
Lowly acts of adoration
To the God of our salvation
On His altar laid we leave them:
Christ, present them; God, receive them.
2. Promises in sorrow made,

Left, alas, too long unpaid;
fervent wishes, earnest thought,
Never into action wrought
Long withheld, we now restore them,
On Thy holy altar pour them:
There in trembling faith to leave them,
Christ, present them; God, receive them.
3. Brighter joys and tenderer tears,

Fonder faith, more faithful fears,
Lowlier penitence for sin,
More of Christ our souls within;
Love which, when its life was newer,
Burnt within us deeper, truer
Lost too long, while we deplore them,
Jesus, plead for; God, restore them.
4. Beamings of a Father's Face,

Overflowing gifts of grace,
More of that deep consciousness
Of a changeless will to bless,
Which bestows the best assurance
Of Eternal Love's endurance
Lost too often, we deplore them;
Jesus, plead for; God, restore them.
5. Homage of each humble heart

Ere we from Thy House depart,
Worship fervent, deep and high,
Adoration, ecstasy;
All that childlike love can render
Of devotion true and tender
On Thine altar laid we leave them.
Christ, present them; God, receive them
6. To the Father, and the Son,
And the Spirit, three in One,
Though our mortal weakness raise
Offerings of imperfect praise,
Yet with hearts bowed down most lowly,
Crying, Holy, Holy, Holy,
On Thine altar laid we leave them:
Christ, present them; God, receive them. Amen.

The King of creation, He sits on His Throne:
The gold and the silver He claims as His own.

His gifts from beneath, His gifts from above.
He gave us our treasures, the corn, oil, and wine,
The pearl of the ocean, the gem of the mine.
3. But high above all He gave us His Son,

To die in our stead, for sin to atone.
No mine's golden treasure, no pearl of the sea,
From thraldom redeemed us ! His Blood set us free !

The world and its wealth before Him are laid.
The beasts of he forest acknowledge His claim;
The fowls of the mountains, He knows them by name.

But what to His goodness and bounty we owe?
His cross and His sorrows, He calls us to bear,
The wants of His people, He bids us to share.

'Tis His to dispense, and His to command.
To His poor and need your treasure impart,
And give to your Saviour the love of your heart. Amen.

To see my God.

By water and the Word:

To be His holy Bride,
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.

Yet one o'er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one Faith, one Birth;

And to one hope she presses
With every grace endued.
3. Though with a scornful wonder

Men see her sore opprest,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distrest;
Yet Saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, "How long?
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song.

And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace for evermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.

With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won.
Oh, happy ones and holy!
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee! Amen.

To young and old the Gospel gladness bear:
Redeem the time; its hours too swiftly fly,

New station must be filled and blanks supplied;
From voices distant far, or near at home,

To sow the tares, to snatch the seed away;
While we in sleep our duty have forgot,

No arm so weak but may do service here:
By feeblest agents can our God fufiA

While the long shadows o'er our pathway lie,
And a glad sound comes with the setting sun

Ye disciples of my choice?
Called and led along "The Way,"

Thou the Holy One of God!

Ye companions of My heart?
Loved and taught "the Truth" always,
Will ye now from Me depart?
Lord, to whom shall we now go?
For Thy words have been our food,
And for Thee our hearts do glow,
Thou th' Incarnate Son of God!

Ye partakers of my grace,
With the life which I convey
Will ye fail to seek my face?
Lord to whom shall we now go
For thou art the soul's abode
And Eternal Life doth flow
From th'Erthernal Son of God.

Fellow workers with the Lord?
Blessed and trained to watch and pray,
And to teach the living Word!

Thou can'st break sin's iron rod,
And the gift of Heaven bestow,
Thou, the Christ, the Son God!

Save as witnesses for Thee;

Could pierce beyond the grave;
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.

In midst of mortal pain,

Who follows in his train?
3. A glorious band, the chosen few

On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant Saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.

Who follows in their train?
4. A noble army, men and boys.

The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's Throne rejoice
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of Heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain;
O! God, to us may grace be given
To follow in their train. Amen.

The foemen muster strong,
While Saints beneath the Altar
Are crying "Lord, how long?"
The living and the loving,
Christ's royal Standard raise,
And marching on to confliet
Shout forth their Captain's praise.
2. No time for self indulgence,

For resting by the way;
Repose will come at even,
But toil is for the day:
Work, like the blessed Jesus,
Who from His earliest youth
Would do His Father's business
And witness for the truth.
3. For the one Faith, the true Faith,

The Faith which cannot fail,
For the one Church, the true Church,
'Gainst which no foes prevail;
Made one with God Incarnate,
We in His might must win
The glory of self conquest,
Of victory over sin.
4. Behold! upon Mount Zion

A glorious people stand,
A crown on every forehead,
A palm in every hand;
Lo! these are they who boldly
The Name of Christ confessed,
And now triumphant praise Him
In Heaven's unresting Rest.
5. O Jesu ! Who art waiting

Thy faithful ones to crown,
Vouchsafe to bless our conflict,
Our loving service own;
Come in each heart for ever
As King adored to reign,
Till we with Saints triumphant
Uplift the victor strain. Amen.

Deigned the Covenant seal to take.

Can lean upon its God:

When tempests rage without:

In darkness feels no doubt;

4. My will is not my own

Till Thou hast made it Thine;
If it would reach the monarch's throne:
It must its crown resign;
It only stands unbent
Amid the clashing strife,
When on Thy Bosom it has leant,
And found in Thee its life. Amen.

What things by God were done,
When faithful men in days of old
Their lifelong battle won;
And now when God calls us to life,
And Satan tempts each man,
We choose our side in the mortal strife
To fight as best we can,
Like brothers true, of one accord,
To hold one Faith and serve one Lord.
2. Our King has come to claim His own,

Has paid the dept we owe,
Himself has fought the fight alone,
In straits we cannot know.
Amid the world's confused noise,
Where we but darkly see,
The Christ appeals, with sweet, clear Voice,
"My brothers follow me
To hold one Faith, to serve one Lord.

We range ourselves upon His side,
Where none can suffer loss.
We'er safe behind our Saviour's shield;
He makes us heirs of Heaven;
We claim upon the embattled field
The victory Christ has given,
To hold one Faith and serve on Lord.
4. And yet, 0 Christ, our Saviour King,

Unless Thou keep us Thine,
Our faith will soon dry at the spring,
Our love will shrink and pine.
So by Thy Spirit mould us, Lord;
Inspire our hearts to pray;
Our hungry souls feed with Thy Word,
Teach all our Guild to say,
"True brothers we of one accord,
We hold one Faith, we serve one Lord."
5. We fain would do our Master's part,

And help our fellow men,
Would cheer some lonely brother's heart,
Some lost one bring again,
Would serve the Church abroad, at home,
With hearts from self set free, Striving to make
Thy Kingdom come,
O God, so may it be,
That, brothers true, with one accord,
We hold the Faith and serve the Lord! Amen.

Not for crown and palm,
Enter we the army,
Raise the warrior psalm;

Lives for whom He died,
He whom Jesus nameth
Must be on His side.
By Thy love constraining,
We are on the Lord's side

Not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own Life blood,
For Thy Diadem.

Each who comes to Thee,
Thou hast made us willing,
Thou hast made us free,
By Thy grand Redemption,
We are on the Lord's side,

Strong may be the foe,
But the King's own army

Round His standard ranging,
Victory is secure,
For His truth unchanging
Makes the triumph sure.

Always on the Lord's side,
Saviour, always Thine! Amen.

Give joy and peace where all is strife,
And strength where all is faint.

Though He clouds my prospect o'er,
Takes my sheltering gourd away,
Bids my fondest hopes decay;

4. Lord, when this short life is past,

Take me to Thy Rest at last;

Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, 0 Lord, abide with me. Amen.
CHCHB 849 (-)

1. God. Who madest earth and heaven,
Darkness and light;
Who the day for toil hast given,
For rest the night;
May Thine Angel-guards defend us,
Slumber sweet Thy mercy send us,
Holy dreams and hopes attend us,
This livelong night.
2. Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,

And, when we die,
May we in Thy mighty keeping
All peaceful lie;
When the last dread call shall wake us
Do not Thou, our God, forsake us,
But to reign in glory take us
With 'I'hee on high.
3. God of love, and grace and glory,

Whom now we bless;
Trinity, most High! most I Holy!
Thee we confess.
Ever in the new creation,
May we sing Thy great salvation,
And with joyful adoration
Our praise address. Amen.

1. Lord, Thy Glory fills the Heaven,
Earth, is with its fulness stored;

Holy, Holy, Holy, blessing
Thee, the Lord of Host most High!
Amen.

1. The Lord be with us as we bend
His blessing to receive;
His gift of peace upon us send,
Before His courts we leave.

Along our homeward road;
In silent thought, or friendly talk,
Our hearts be still with God.
3. The Lord be with us till the night

Shall close the day of rest;
Be He of every heart the Light,
Of every home the Guest.
4. The Lord be with us still we pray,

His nightly watch to keep;
Crown with His peace His own blest day,
And guard His people's sleep. Amen.
CHCHB 852 (386)

1. God be with you till we meet again
By His counsels guide uphold you,
With His sheep securely fold you;
God be with you till we meet again!
Till we meet!... Till we meet!

Till we meet at Jesus feet,
Till we meet!... Till we meet!
2. God be with you till we meet again!

Neath His wings securely hide you,
Daily manna still provide you;

When life's perils thick confound you.
Put His loving arms around you;

Keep love's banner floating o'er you,
Smite death's threatening wave before you;
God be with you till we meet again' Amen.
CHCHB 853 (-)

1. Accept, O Lord, our Alms, though small;
Unworthy sacrifice;
They represent our worthless all,
Yet pleasing in Thine Eyes.
2. Accept this Bread; our bodies break

From every lust and sin;
A Living Sacrifice to make,
The souls of men to win.
3. Accept this Wine; our lives outpour,

For blood doth mean the life,
In holy warfare, strong and sure,
With sin in deadly strife.

Once broken and outpoured,
We here show forth, with thankful hearts,
Till He shall come adored. Amen.

And make our lukewarm hearts to glow
With lowly love and fervent will.
Through life's long day and death's dark night,
O gentle Jesus, be our Light.
2. The day is gone, its hours have run,

And Thou hast taken count of all,
The scanty triumphs grace hath won,
The broken vow, the frequent fall.
3. Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways

True absolution and release;
And bless us, more than in past days,
With purity and inward peace.
Through life's long day an death's dark night,
4. Do more than pardon; give us joy,

Sweet fear, and sober liberty,
And simple hearts without alloy
That only long to be like Thee.
5. Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toiled;

And care is light, for Thou hast cared;
Ah! never let our works be soiled
With strife, or by deceit ensnared.
Through life's long day an d death's dark night,
6. For all we love, the poor, the sad,

The sinful, unto Thee we call;
O let Thy mercy make us glad:
Thou art our Jesus, and our All.
O gentle Jesus, be our Light. Amen.

We trust Thee for the days to be;
Thy Love we learn in Christ Thy Son.
O may we all His Glory seel! Amen.

Let the Cre-a-tor's praise arise:
Let the Redeemer's Name be sung
Thro' ev'ry land in ev'ry tongue.

Eternal truth attends Thy word:
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no more.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Ere again we seek repose,
Lord, our song ascends to Thee,
At Thy feet we bow the knee.

For this rest upon our way,
Thanks to Thee alone be given,
Lord and King of earth and Heaven.
3. Cold our services have been;

Prayers and praises stained with sin;
But Thou canst and wilt forgive;
By Thy grace alone we live
4. Whilst this thorny path we tread,

When our journey here is past,
May we rest with Thee at last.
5. May our earthly Sabbaths prove

Foretastes of our joys above;
While our pilgrim step we bend
To the rest, which knows no end. Amen.
CHCHB 858 (-)

Now we lay us down to rest;
Through the silent watches guard us;
Let no foe our peace molest:
Jesus, Thou our Guardian be;
Sweet it is to trust in Thee.

Of a life beyond the grave,
Where all mortal partings cease;
Brethren, sisters, part in peace. Amen.

And the Father's boundless love,

Joys which earth cannot afford. Amen.
