Hallowed Church Bell, Not For Earthly Centers

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 10.9.10.9 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Hallowed church bell not for earthly centers Lyrics: 1 Hallowed church bell, not for worldly centers Wast thou made but for the village small, Where thy toll, as home and hearth it enters, Blends with lullabies at even fall. 2 When a child, and in the country dwelling, Christmas morning seemed my heav'n on earth, And thy chimes, like angel voices swelling, Told with joy of my Redeemer’s birth. 3 Louder still thy joyful tones resounded When, on wings of early morning borne, They proclaimed: Awake with joy unbounded, Christ arose this blessed Easter morn. 4 Sweeter even was thy toll when blending With the calm of summer's eventide, And, like voices from the sky descending, They did bid me lay all care aside. 5 Hence, as now the day is softly ending, Shadows fall, and birds ascend their nest, With the flow'rs my head in silence bending, I am chanting with my soul at rest: 6 "When at last, O church bell, thou art tolling O’er my grave as loved ones weep and sigh, Say to them, their troubled hearts consoling: He is resting with the Lord on high!'"

Author: Elliot Stock Meter: 10.9.10.9 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Down from Heav’n winging Lyrics: 1 Down from Heav’n winging, Angels come singing, Joyous news bringing Of Christ our Lord. All ye confiding In love unchiding, Hail this good tiding Of Christ our Lord. 2 Ye who in sadness, Mourning sin’s madness, Dare not in gladness Welcome your Lord; Leave the world’s Babel, Seek this poor stable— Ah! ’tis no fable— Come, see your Lord. 3 Sinful and holy, Great ones and lowly, Yield your hearts wholly Unto the Lord. So life’s brief training, In love unfeigning, Ends in Heav’n gaining Through Christ our Lord. 4 Learn what rich blessing, Past all our guessing, Comes through confessing Jesus our Lord; And, ever praising, Love so amazing, Join now in raising Songs to our Lord.

Touch how aweful, how consolatory! When, O Thomas, thou didst stretch thine hand, And that Side, resplendent in its glory, Didst explore, because He gave command! 126 Unbelief of Thomas was the Mother Of Thy Church’s most unshaken Creed: Thou, O SAVIOUR, wise above all other, Had’st, before the world was, thus decreed.

Lord, Make Thou Me Ever Meek And Humble

Author: O. Bertelsen Meter: 10.9.10.9 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, make Thou me ever meek and humble, Thou hast called me here to bear Thy name; Lead me by Thy hand, lest I should stumble, And the world might put Thy child to shame. 2 Oft I tried to walk alone, obedient Only to my own desire and will, When my own way seem'd to me expedient, Thou decreas'd, and I grew vainer still. 3 Hence my heart grew faint with fear and anguish, Hence my vision dimm'd and was confus'd, Hence my soul in grief and fear did languish, And my stumbling feet were sorely bruis'd. 4 Lord, make Thou me ever meek and humble; Make me understand that Thou art great; Led by Thee I shall not stray and stumble, Tho' the way be dark and desolate.

In His Own Raiment Clad

Author: Edward Monro Meter: 10.9.10.9 Appears in 32 hymnals First Line: In His own raiment clad, with His blood dyed Lyrics: 1. In His own raiment clad, with His blood dyed; Women walk sorrowing by His side. Heavy that cross to Him, weary the weight; One who will help Him waits at the gate. 2. See! they are traveling on the same road; Simon is sharing with Him the load. O whither wandering bear they that tree? He who first carries it, who is He? 3. Follow to Calvary; tread where He trod, He who for ever was Son of God. You who would love Him stand, gaze at His face: Tarry a while on your earthy race. 4. As the swift moments fly, through the blest week, Read the great story the cross will teach. Is there no beauty to you who pass by, In that lone figure which marks that sky? 5. On the cross lifted Thy face we scan, Bearing that cross for us, Son of Man. Thorns form Thy diadem, rough wood Thy throne; For us Thy blood is shed, us alone. 6. No pillow under Thee to rest Thy head; Only the splintered cross is Thy bed. Nails pierced Thy hands and feet, Thy side the spear; No voice is nigh to say help is near. 7. Shadows of midnight fall, though it is day: Thy friends and kinsfolk stand far away. Loud is Thy bitter cry; sunk on Thy breast Hangeth Thy bleeding head without rest. 8. Loud scoffs the dying thief, who mocks at Thee; Can it, my Savior, be all for me? Gazing, afar from Thee, silent and lone, Stand those few weepers Thou callest Thine own. 9. I see Thy title, Lord, inscribed above; Jesus of Nazareth, King of Love. What, O my Savior, here didst Thou see, Which made Thee suffer and die for me? 10. “Child of My grief and pain, watched by My love; I came to call thee to realms above. I saw thee wandering far off from Me: In love I seek for Thee; do not flee. 11. For thee My blood I shed, for thee alone; I came to purchase thee, for Mine own. Weep thou not for My grief, child of My love: Strive to be with Me in Heaven above. 12. O I will follow Thee, Star of my soul, Through the deep shades of life to the goal. Yea, let Thy cross be borne each day by me; Mind not how heavy, if but with Thee. 13. Lord, if Thou only wilt, make us Thine own, Give no companion, save Thee alone. Grant through each day of life to stand by Thee; With Thee, when morning breaks, ever to be.
