Lead, Kindly Light

Author: John Henry Newman Hymnal: HOoS1926 #344 (1926) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 First Line: Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly Light, amid th'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 prayed 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 hath 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.

My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly! It will not stay with me; Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain It hastes to seek its Fountain, And quit this world of pain. 2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last? When fearless to my Father's love and pow'r, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render, For surely will His hand Lead me with guidance tender, To heav'n, my fatherland. 3 O Zion, hail! bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me How many a time I longed for thee of old, Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage I sought. 4 Innumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise, Till heavenly halls re-echo with the tone Of that great hymn of praise, And all its host rejoices, And all its blessèd throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM, DU HERRENS NYA STAD

Abode of Peace, My Father's Home Forever

Author: Agata Rosenius Hymnal: HOoS1926 #624 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10.8.8.7.7 First Line: Abode of peace, my Father's home forever! Lyrics: 1 Abode of peace, my Father’s home forever! My weary soul in faith doth yearn for thee. I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour, To Thine abode of peace, eternally. There is on earth no peaceful rest; Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed, Our vision dim and failing, Our vision dim and failing. 2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth; God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore. Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart. For when, O Lord, I am with Thee, All other comforts well may flee; With Thee I’m blest forever, With Thee I'm blest forever. Amen.

Brightest and Best of the Sons of the Morning

Author: Reginald Heber Hymnal: HOoS1926 #62 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining; 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, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine? Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation; Vainly with gifts would His favor 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.

O Zion, Haste, Thy Mission High Fulfilling

Author: Mary Ann Thomson Hymnal: HOoS1926 #376 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling, To tell to all the world that God is Light; That He Who made all nations is not willing One soul should perish, lost in shades of night. Refrain: Publish glad tidings; Tidings of peace; Tidings of Jesus, Redemption and release. 2 Behold, how many thousands still are lying Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin, With none to tell them of the Saviour’s dying, Or of the life He died for them to win. [Refrain] 3 Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation That God, in whom they live and move, is Love: Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation, And died on earth that we might live above. [Refrain] 4 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious; Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way; Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious, And haste the coming of the glorious day.

Hail to the Brightness of Zion's Glad Morning!

Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: HOoS1926 #381 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning! Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain! Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning; Zion in triumph begins her glad reign. 2 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning, Long by the prophets of Israel foretold! Hail to the millions from bondage returning! Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, Streams ever copious are gliding along; Loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing, Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song. 4 Hark, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, Praise to Jehovah ascending on high; Fallen the engines of war and commotion, Shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

I Look Not Back

Author: Unknown Hymnal: HOoS1926 #431 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 First Line: I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts Lyrics: 1 I look not back; God knows the fruitless efforts, The wasted hours, the sinning, the regrets. I leave them all with Him who blots the record, And graciously forgives, and then forgets. 2 I look not forward; God sees all the future, The road that, short or long, will lead me home, And He will face with me its every trial, And bear for me the burdens that may come. 3 I look not round me; then would fears assail me, So wild the tumult of earth's restless seas, So dark the world, so filled with woe and evil, So vain the hope of comfort and of ease. 4 I look not inward; that would make me wretched; For I have naught on which to stay my trust. Nothing I see save failures and shortcomings, And weak endeavors, crumbling into dust. 5 But I look up--into the face of Jesus, For there my heart can rest, my fears are stilled; And there is joy, and love, and light for darkness, And perfect peace, and every hope fulfilled. Amen. Topics: Way of Salvation Faith and Justification Languages: English Tune Title: O SÄLLA LAND

Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying, "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure." 3 Here see the Bread of Life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love; come, ever knowing Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot cure.

Still, Still with Thee, When Purple Morning Breaketh

Author: Harriet Elizabeth (Beecher) Stowe Hymnal: HOoS1926 #515 (1926) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than the daylight, Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee! 2 Alone with Thee, amid the mystic shadows, The solemn hush of nature newly born; Alone with Thee, in breathless adoration, In the calm dew and freshness of the morn. 3 When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber, Its closing eye looks up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath the wings o’ershading, But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. 4 So shall it be at last, in that bright morning, When the soul waketh, and life’s shadows flee; O for that hour when fairer than the dawning Shall rise the glorious thought, I am with Thee!
