Nearer, my God, to thee

Author: Sarah F. Adams Hymnal: SDAH1886 #655 (1886) Person Name: Sarah F. Adams Lyrics: 1 Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, to thee! E'en though it be a cross That raiseth me! Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 2 Though like a wanderer, Daylight all gone, Darkness be over me, My rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I'd be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 3 There let the way appear, Steps up to heaven; All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 4 Then, with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I'll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee. 5 Or if, on joyful wing Cleaving the sky, Sun, moon, and stars forgot, Upward I fly, Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer, my God, to thee, Nearer to thee!

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: SDAH1886 #68 (1886) Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue, ethereal sky, Th' unwearied sun, from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim: 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly, to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."

When all thy mercies, O my God!

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: SDAH1886 #77 (1886) Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God! My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart discerned From whom those comforts flowed. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 O, how can words with equal warmth The gratitude declare That glow within my raptured heart? But thou canst read it there. 5 Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: But O, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise!

The Lord my pasture shall prepare

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: SDAH1886 #752 (1886) Person Name: Joseph Addison Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye; My noonday walks he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When on the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads My weary, wandering steps he leads Where peaceful rivers, soft and slow, Amid the verdant landscape flow. 3 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord! art with me still; Thy friendly staff shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade.

Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves

Author: L. E. A. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1266 (1886) Person Name: L. E. A. Lyrics: 1 Nothing but leaves! The Spirit grieves O'er years of wasted life; O'er sins indulged while conscience slept, O'er vows and promises unkept, And reaps from years of strife Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 2 Nothing but leaves! No gathered sheaves, Of life's fair ripening grain: We sow our seeds; lo! tares and weeds, Words, idle words, for earnest deeds, Then reap, with toil and pain, Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 3 Nothing but leaves! Sad memory weaves No vail to hide the past; And as we trace our weary way, And count each lost and misspent day, We sadly find at last Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves! 4 Ah, who shall thus the Master meet And bring but withered leaves? Ah, who shall at the Saviour's feet, Before the awful judgment seat Lay down for golden sheaves, Nothing but leaves! Nothing but leaves!

Lord of glory! thou hast bought us

Author: Mrs. Alderson Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1062 (1886) Person Name: Mrs. Alderson Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory! thou hast bought us, With thy life-blood as the price, Never grudging, for the lost ones, That tremendous sacrifice; And, with that, hast freely given Blessings, countless as the sand, To the thoughtless and the evil, With thine own unsparing hand. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to yield thee Gladly, freely, of thine own; With the sunshine of thy goodness, Melt our thankless hearts of stone, Till our cold and selfish natures, Warmed by thee, at length believe That more happy and more blessed 'Tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor hast thou given To our humblest charity, In thine own mysterious sentence, "Ye have done it unto me!" Give us faith to trust thee boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on thee; But, O, best of all thy graces Give us thine own charity. Topics: The Church Ministry and Missions Tune Title: MESSAGE

When wounded sore, the stricken soul

Author: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: SDAH1886 #378 (1886) Person Name: Mrs. Cecil F. Alexander Lyrics: 1 When wounded sore, the stricken soul Lies bleeding and unbound, One only hand a pierced hand Can heal the sinner's wound. 2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only heart a broken heart Can feel the sinner's woe. 3 When penitence has wept in vain Over some foul, dark spot, One only stream a stream of blood Can wash away the blot. 4 'Tis Jesus' blood that washes white, His hand that brings relief; His heart that's touched with all our joys, And feels for all our grief. 5 Lift up thy bleeding hand, O Lord! Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin But in thy wounded side. Topics: The Sinner Christ the Way of Life Tune Title: HOLY CROSS

There is a line by us unseen

Author: J. Addison Alexander Hymnal: SDAH1886 #400 (1886) Person Name: J. Addison Alexander Lyrics: 1 There is a line by us unseen, That crosses every path, The hidden boundary between God's patience and his wrath. 2 O! where is this mysterious bourne By which our path is crossed, Beyond which God himself hath sworn That he who goes is lost? 3 How far may we go on in sin? How long will God forbear? Where does hope end? And where begin The confines of despair? 4 An answer from the skies is sent: "Ye that from God depart, While it is called to-day, repent, And harden not your heart."

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing

Author: James Allen Hymnal: SDAH1886 #534 (1886) Person Name: James Allen Lyrics: 1 Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, Which before the cross we spend; Life and health and peace possessing From the sinner's dying Friend. 2 Truly blessed is this station, Low before his cross to lie, While we see divine compassion Beaming in his gracious eye. 3 Here we feel our sins forgiven, While upon the Lamb we gaze; And our thoughts are all of heaven, And our lips o'erflow with praise. 4 While in grateful comtemplation, Lord, our eyes are fixed on thee, May we taste thy full salvation, And, unveiled, thy glories see.
