Tell me,--"Verily, I say, Thou shalt be with Me to-day!" Amen.

While with Ceaseless Course the Sun

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HOoS1926 #53 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Nevermore to meet us here; Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little, none can know. 2 As the wingèd arrow flies Speedily, the mark to find; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream: Upward, Lord, our spirits raise; All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view. Bless Thy Word to young and old, Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above. Amen.

How Sweet the Name of Jesus Sounds

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HOoS1926 #54 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds In a believer's ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, And drives away his fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole And calms the troubled breast; 'Tis Manna to the hungry soul And to the weary Rest. 3 Dear Name! The Rock on which I build, My Shield and Hiding-place; My never-failing Treasury, filled With boundless stores of grace. 4 By Thee my prayers acceptance gain, Although with sin defiled: Satan accuses me in vain, And I am owned a child. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart And cold my warmest thought; But when I see Thee as Thou art, I'll praise Thee as I ought. 6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim With every fleeting breath; And may the music of Thy Name Refresh my soul in death.

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HOoS1926 #57 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home! 2 Under the shadow of Thy throne Still may we dwell secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defense is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in Thy sight, Are like an evening gone; Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 The busy tribes of flesh and blood, With all heir cares and fears, Are carried downward by the flood, And lost in following years. 6 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly, forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 7 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home!

As with Gladness Men of Old

Author: William Chatterton Dix Hymnal: HOoS1926 #60 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hailed its light, Leading onward, beaming bright: So, most gracious God, may we Evermore be led by Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped, To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him whom heaven and earth adore, So may we, with willing feet Ever seek Thy mercy-seat. 3 As they offered gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare, So may we, with holy joy, Pure, and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesus, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransomed souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There forever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King.
