Alleluia! Fairest morning!

Author: Jane Borthwick; Jonathan Krause Hymnal: LHTC1918 #439 (1917) Person Name: Jane Borthwick Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! fairest morning! Fairer than our words can say! Down we lay the heavy burden Of life’s toil and care to-day, While this morn of joy and love Brings fresh vigor from above. 2 In the gladness of God's worship 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. 3 Let the day with Thee be ended, As with Thee it has begun, And Thy blessing, Lord, be granted, Till earth’s days and weeks are done; That at last Thy servants may Keep eternal Sabbath-day. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons The Lord's Day Languages: English Tune Title: STÖRL

A pilgrim and a stranger

Author: Jane Borthwick; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: LHTC1918 #517a (1917) Person Name: Jane Borthwick Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below; Far distant is my country, The house to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and oppressed, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee. Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace. 3 There I shall dwell for ever, No more a stranger guest, With all Thy blood-bought children In everlasting rest,-- The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before!

My Lord, my Master, at Thy feet adoring

Author: Jacques Bridaine, d. 1767; Thomas Benson Pollock Hymnal: LHTC1918 #96 (1917) Person Name: Jacques Bridaine, d. 1767 Lyrics: 1 My Lord, my Master, at Thy feet adoring, I see Thee bow'd beneath Thy load of woe: For me, a sinner, is Thy life-blood pouring; For Thee, my Saviour, scarce my tears will flow. 2 Thine own disciple to the Jews has sold Thee, With friendship's kiss and loyal word he came: How oft of faithful love my lips have told Thee, While Thou hast seen my falsehood and my shame! 3 With taunts and scoffs they mock what seems Thy weakness, With blows and outrage adding pain to pain: Thou art unmoved and steadfast in Thy meekness; When I am wrong'd, how quickly I complain! 4 My Lord, my Saviour, when I see Thee wearing Upon Thy bleeding brow, the crown of thorn, Shall I for pleasure live, or shrink from bearing Whate'er my lot may be of pain or scorn? 5 O victim of Thy love! O pangs most healing! O saving death! O fruitful agonies! I pray Thee, Christ, before Thee humbly kneeling, For ever keep Thy Cross before mine eyes. Amen.
