O'er the trackless ocean guided

Author: W. H. Adams, 1864- Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O'er the trackless ocean guided By Thy hand our fathers came; They, O Lord, in Thee confided, Loved Thy day, revered Thy name; Nor would we, their faith despising, False to their devotion be, But, on wings of prayer arising, Lift our contrite hearts to Thee. 2 In the new land, wild and lonely, Rude the homes which they upraised, There they sought unto Thee only, There Thy love and mercy praised; In our fairer habitations, May their zeal in us increase, While Thy gracious consolations Prove our everlasting peace. 3 Where, in wilderness extending, Every creature had his lair, Now behold us humbly bending In this holy place of prayer; Let the world transformed around us Witness be of change within Joy divine that God hath found us, Healed the deadly wounds of sin. 4 Destined for their fathers' places, Age on age until the end, Keep, O keep, our children's faces Turned to Thee, our changeless Friend; And may all who boon of heaven Now or evermore shall crave, Know on earth Thy blessing given, Glory find beyond the grave.

Lamb of God! Our Souls Adore Thee

Author: James Deck Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lamb of God! Our souls adore Thee While upon Thy face we gaze; There the Father’s love and glory Shine in all their brightest rays; Thine almighty power and wisdom All creation’s works proclaim; Heaven and earth alike confess Thee As the ever great I AM. 2. Lamb of God! Thy Father’s bosom Ever was Thy dwelling place; His delight, in Him rejoicing, One with Him in power and grace; Oh, that wondrous love and mercy— Thou didst lay Thy glory by, And for us didst come from Heaven, As the Lamb of God, to die! 3. Lamb of God! When we behold Thee Lowly in the manger laid, Wandering as a homeless stranger In the world Thy hands had made; When we see Thee in the garden, In Thine agony of blood, At Thy grace we are confounded, Holy, spotless, Lamb of God! 4. When we see Thee, as the victim, Bound for us upon the tree, For our guilt and folly stricken, All our judgment born by Thee— Lord, we own, with hearts adoring, Thou hast loved us unto blood: Glory, glory everlasting, Be to Thee, Thou Lamb of God! 5. Lamb of God, Thou soon in glory Will to this sad earth return; All Thy foes shall quake before Thee, All that now despise Thee mourn; Then Thy saints all gathered to Thee, With Thee in Thy kingdom reign; Thine the praise and Thine the glory, Lamb of God, for sinners slain.

Hark! The King Of Heaven Is Calling

Author: J. H. Kuhlman Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Hark! the King of heav'n is calling Lyrics: 1 Hark! the King of heav'n is calling Laborers to do His work; Go, saith He, into My vineyard, Go at once, and do not shirk! In the morning hours He seeks you, When the dew is on the grass; Serve Him then with young endeavor, Ere the flush of youth shall pass. 2 Thro' the forenoon of their lifetime, Ev'ry day and ev'ry year, In His Church the Lord is calling, Calling those that will not hear. Noon and afternoon are passing, And the shadows grow apace, While so many still are standing Idle in the market place. 3 Swift the twilight is advancing, Bringing the eleventh hour; One more call, O men and women, Serve Him with your waning pow'r! Then at last the quiet evening And the sunset in the West, When the Master of the vineyard Calls the workers home to rest.
