A year, another year is fled

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #284 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: A year, another year is fled; Its issues who can tell? Millions of voices of the dead Reply from heaven or hell. All these were living at the birth Of the departed year; They all have vanish'd from the earth, We fill their places here. Though to the eye, the ear, the mind Of man their speech is seal'd, The eternal meaning each may find, In two plain words reveal'd. Lost spirits, from the dark abyss, Cry mournfully "Beware!" Spirits in glory, and in bliss, Sing joyfully "Prepare!" Thus timely warned, and moved with fear, Of wrath, let us beware; For life or death, in this new year, For earth and heaven prepare. 304 Who then of those with us, this day In childhood, youth, or age, "To love the Lord our God" can say "We all our hearts engage."

According to thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #129 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: According to thy gracious word, In meek humility, This will I do, my dying Lord! I will remember Thee. Thy body, broken for my sake, My bread from heaven shall be; Thy testamental cup I take, And thus remember Thee? Gethsemane can I forget? Or there Thy conflict see, Thine agony and bloody sweat, And not remember Thee? 132 When to the cross I turn mine eyes And rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice! I must remember Thee:-- Remember Thee, and all Thy pains, And all Thy love to me; Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains, Will I remember Thee. And when these failing lips grow dumb, And mind and memory flee, When Thou shalt in Thy Kingdom come, Jesus, remember me.

Again, on this rejoicing day

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #102 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Again, on this rejoicing day, God's people in his temple meet, To learn his will,--to praise and pray,-- For praise is comely, prayer is sweet: And meek obedience to his will Is perfect freedom to their mind, Who love his service and fulfil, With heart and hand, the work assign'd. One day, Lord God! within thy courts, Is better than a thousand spent In vain delights, or wanton sports, That leave remorse and discontent. Rather we'll choose the lowest place, The keepers of Thy doors to be, Than dwell where sinners, void of grace, Forget themselves, forgetting Thee. Our willing souls we now would yield To Thee, as Thine alone to live, Assured Thou wilt, our sun and shield, No good withhold,--all blessing give. So, from Thy sanctuary shower On young and old, with large increase, Thy heavenly gifts, and from this hour, Lord! send prosperity and peace.

All hail! our Church's Elder dear

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #273 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Lyrics: All hail! our Church's Elder dear, Jesus, her glorious head! To Thy disciples now appear, As risen from the dead; Let our rejoicing souls in Thee, The tokens of Thy Passion see, And hear Thy gentle voice anew, Say "Peace be unto you." Remembering what our fathers told, Thou didst in their young day, This solemn Jubilee we hold, That we, as then did they, Ourselves in covenant may bind, With soul and strength, and heart and mind, Through life and death, on land, o'er sea, Meekly to follow Thee. 288 Revive Thy work amidst the years, Our brethren still employ, O'er heathen soils to sow in tears, With hope to reap in joy: Though wide the fields, the labourers few, If Thou our failing faith renew, The weakest of Thy servants, we Can all things do through Thee. Through Thee, from Greenland's sterile rocks, Rich harvests have been led; In Indian forests wandering flocks, With heavenly knowledge fed; In island-prisons o'er the sea, Bond-slaves have been made gospel-free; Midst lion-haunts, on Afric sands, Strange tribes lift holy hands. To-day, one world-neglected race, We fervently commend To Thee, and to Thy Word of grace; Lord, visit and befriend People scatter'd, peel'd, and rude, By land and ocean-solitude, Cut off from ev'ry social shore, In dreary Labrador. Thither, while to and fro she steers, Still guide our annual bark1313For particulars of the missionary ship, and the providence which has preserved her through so many perilous annual voyages, vide periodical accounts of the Missions of the United Brethren. , 289 By night and day, through hopes and fears, While, lonely as the ark, Along her single track she braves, Gulphs, whirlpools, ice-fields, winds, and waves, To waft glad tidings to the shore Of longing Labrador. How welcome to the watching eye, From morn till evening fix'd, The first faint speck that shews her nigh, Where surge and sky are miss'd; Till looming large, and larger yet, With bounding prow, and sails full set, She speeds to anchor on the shore Of joyful Labrador. Then hearts with hearts, and souls with souls, In thrilling transport meet, Though dark and broad the Atlantic rolls, Between their parted feet: For written words, with boundless range, Thoughts, feelings, prayers, can interchange, And once a year join Britain's shore To kindred Labrador. Then at the vessel's glad return, The absent meet again; At home our hearts within us burn, To trace the cunning pen, Whose strokes, like rays from star to star, Bring happy messages from far, And once a year to Britain's shore Join Christian Labrador. 290 O Thou, in whom we all are one, If faithful found and true, Thy will on earth by each be done, As each in heaven would do: To Thee ourselves we first would give, Live to Thy glory while we live; From step to step on Thee rely, Then in Thy service die.

All hearts are open to Thy view

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #106 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: All hearts are open to Thy view, All things are naked in Thy sight; Now may the Eye that looks us through, Show us ourselves in its pure light. Then, while with awe we look to Thee, The High, the Holy One, the Just, With self-abhorrence, Lord, may we Repent in ashes and in dust. But, lest we perish in Thine ire, --For woe are we, unclean, undone! Our God is a consuming fire,-- May we behold Thee through Thy Son. In Him love, merct, truth, and grace, The fulness of the Godhead dwells; And the bright shining of His face Darkness, and doubt, and fear dispels. So be it:--round Thy throne we meet, With faith and hope, in self-despair, To pour our souls Out at Thy feet; Hear us, O Thou that hearest prayer! Languages: English

All hearts to Thee are open here

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #117 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: All hearts to Thee are open here; All our desires are known; And we are that which we appear To Thee, good Lord, alone. No eye of man can penetrate, Another's secret mind, Nor well discern his own estate, Naked, and poor, and blind. The entrance of Thy word gives light: Let it so shine within, That each may tremble at the sight Of his unbosom'd sin. 119 With godly sorrow make him grieve, Till hope spring out of grief, And,cry with tears, "Lord, I believe, Help Thou mine unbelief." Ah! then reveal Thy pard'ning love, To young, to old, to all, And raise Thy banish'd ones above The misery of their fall. As sinners to Thy house we came: As saints may we depart, In humbler, holier, happier frame Of soul, and mind, and heart.

All Thy works, with one accord

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #92 (1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: All Thy works, with one accord, Magnify Thee, mighty Lord! While the heavens Thy glory show, Earth extols Thy love below. Day to day doth utter speech, Night to night Thy knowledge teach: Nature's universal frame Answers--"Hallow'd be Thy name." Life, through all its breathing forms, Death, from darkness, dust, and worms, In ten thousand wondrous ways, Fearfully set forth Thy praise. Here, the lips of Infancy Sweet Hosannas sing to Thee; Youth and Age, in louder lays, Joyful Hallellujahs raise. 96 While adoring Seraphim Thine eternal Godhead hymn, Saints redeem'd, with glory crown'd, Calvary's cross, won triumphs sound. May Thy Church from age to age, In her house of pilgrimage, Train for Thee her convert-throngs, And thy statutes be their songs. Topics: God universally worshipped Languages: English
