O Christ, Our Hope, Our Hearts' Desire
Author: J. Chandler, 1806-76 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our hope, our hearts' desire,
Redemption's only spring!
Creator of the world art Thou,
Its Savior and its King,
Its Savior and its King.
2 How vast the mercy and the love
Which laid our sins on Thee,
And led Thee to a cruel death
To set Thy people free,
To set Thy people free!
3 But now the bands of death are burst,
The ransom has been paid!
And Thou art on Thy Father's throne,
In glorious robes arrayed,
In glorious robes arrayed.
4 O may Thy mighty love prevail
Our sinful souls to spare!
O may we come before thy throne
And find acceptance there,
And find acceptance there!
5 O Christ, be Thou our lasting joy,
Our future great reward;
Our only glory may it be
To glory in the Lord,
To glory in the Lord!

Within the Shelter of Our Walls
How Precious Is the Book Divine
Author: J. Fawcett, 1740-1817 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 646 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How precious is the Book Divine,
By inspiration giv'n!
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine
To guide our souls to heav'n,
To guide our souls to heav'n.
2 Its light, descending from above
Our gloomy world to cheer,
Displays a Savior's boundless love
And brings His glories near,
And brings His glories near.
3 It shows to us our wand'ring ways
And where his feet have trod,
And brings to view the matchless grace
Of a forgiving God,
Of a forgiving God.
4 O'er all the straight and narrow way
Its radiant beams are cast;
A light whose never weary ray
Grows brightest at the last,
Grows brightest at the last.
5 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts
In this dark vale of tears,
Life, light, and joy it still imparts
And quells our rising fears,
And quells our rising fears.
6 This lamp through all the tedious night
Of life shall guide our way
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day,
Of an eternal day.

When Weary Times Confront the Soul
The Blood of Christ, Thy Spotless Lamb
Author: William Pond Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. The blood of Christ, Thy spotless Lamb,
O God, is all my plea;
Naught else could for my sin atone;
I have no merit of my own,
Which I can bring to Thee.
2. No sacrifice save His who bore,
My load upon the tree,
No other plea which lips could frame,
No other blood, no other name,
Accepted is by Thee.
3. Since Christ has entered by His blood,
The holiest on high;
By that same hallowed blood stained track,
Thou welcomest the wanderer back,
And biddest me draw nigh.
4. Oh, wondrous cross! Oh precious blood!
Oh death by which I live!
The sinless One, for me made sin,
Doth now His wondrous heart within,
Eternal refuge give.
5. By that blest cross, that cleansing blood,
I know His power to save;
The merits of His work confess,
I stand in Him completely blest,
A conqueror o’er the grave.
The Blood of Christ, Thy Spotless Lamb
Praise God the Lord, Ye Sons of Men
Author: N. Herman, 1480-1561; A. Crull, 1845-1923 Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise God the Lord, ye sons of men,
Before His highest throne;
Today He opens heav'n again
And gives us His own Son,
And gives us His own Son.
2 He leaves His heav'nly Father's throne,
Is born an infant small,
And in a manger, poor and lone,
Lies in a humble stall,
Lies in a humble stall.
3 He veils in flesh His pow'r divine
A servant's form to take;
In want and lowliness must pine
Who heav'n and earth did make,
Who heav'n and earth did make.
4 He nestles at His mother's breast,
Receives her tender care,
Whom angels hail with joy most blest,
King David's royal Heir,
King David's royal Heir.
5 'Tis He who in these latter days
From Judah's tribe should come,
By whom the Father would upraise
The Church, His Christendom,
The Church, His Christendom.
6 A wondrous change which He does make!
He takes our flesh and blood,
And He conceals for sinners' sake
His majesty of God,
His majesty of God.
7 He serves that I a lord may be;
A great exchange indeed!
Could Jesus' love do more for me
To help me in my need,
To help me in my need?
8 For us He opens wide the door
Of Paradise today;
The angel guards the gate no more,
To God our thanks we pay,
To God our thanks we pay.

O Thou Whose Gracious Presence
Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: O Thou whose gracious presence blessed Lyrics: 1 O Thou whose gracious presence blessed
The home at Bethany,
This shelter from the world’s unrest,
This home made ready for its Guest,
We dedicate to Thee.
2 When Thou didst pass the temple gate,
To pray beneath its dome,
It was Thy Father’s house, more great
Because by love made consecrate;
It was Thine only home.
3 We build an altar here, and pray
That Thou wilt show Thy face.
Dear Lord, if Thou wilt come to stay,
This home we consecrate today
Will be a holy place.

The servants of the Lord
Shall meet the ransomed millions there
Who heard God's saving Word,
Who heard God's saving Word.
3 O what a mighty, rushing flood
Of love that will not cease,
Shall roll about the throne of God
In joy and endless peace,
In joy and endless peace!
4 God, may Thy bounteous grace inspire
Our hearts so that we may
All join the heav'nly, white-robed choir
Upon that glorious day,
Upon that glorious day. Topics: Benediction Used With Tune: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN
