To Our Once Favored Native Land

Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To our once favored native land, Now overwhelmed with guilt and shame, O mighty God, stretch out Thy hand, The same Thy power, Thy grace the same. 2 Let peace descend with balmy wing, And all its blessings round her shed; Her liberties be well secured, And commerce lift its fainting head. 3 Let fearsome cannons cease to roar, The warlike trump no longer sound; The din of arms be heard no more, Nor human blood pollute the ground. 4 Let hostile troops drop from their hands The useless sword, the glittering spear; And join in friendship’s sacred bands, Nor one discordant voice be there. 5 Thus save, O Lord, our sinking land; A million tongues shall then adore, Resound the honors of Thy name, And spread Thy praise from shore to shore. Used With Tune: STORRS Text Sources: A Collection of Hymns, Adapted to Public Worship (Supplement to the 3rd 3d.) by John Ash and Caleb Evans (Bristol: W. Pine, 1778)

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Author: Michael Bruce Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 206 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High-Priest our nature wears, The Saviour of mankind appears. 2 He who for men their surety stood, And pour'd on earth His precious Blood, Pursues in heav'n His mighty plan, The Saviour and the Friend of man. 3 Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother’s eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 4 In every pang that rends the heart The Man of Sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 5 With boldness therefore at the throne Let us make all our sorrows known, And ask the aids of heav'nly power To help us in the evil hour. Amen. Topics: The Church Year The Kingdom and Glory of Christ Used With Tune: SAXBY

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: To Thee, O Lord, I hymbly cry Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, I humbly cry, To Thee my supplication make, To Thee I bring my sad complaint, To thee my bitter grief I take. 2 Thou knowest, Lord, my deep distress, The lonely path, the hidden snare, How refuge faileth, friends forsake, And no man for my soul doth care. 3 My prayer is unto Thee, o Lord, No refuge but in Thee I know, No portion but in Thee I find; Lord, in my need Thy mercy show. 4 Be Thou my Saviour, O my Lord, For I am weak and foes are strong; My captive soul from prison bring, And glad shall be my thankful song. 5 Around me shall the righteous throng, And crowned with joy Thy saints shall be, Their hearts made glad because the Lord In richest grace hath dealt with me.

How shall I follow Him I serve?

Author: Josiah Conder Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessèd footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 3 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night:-- 4 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest not Thyself to please; And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? Amen. Topics: The Church Year Septuagesima to Lent Used With Tune: SAXBY

Lord Jesus Christ, the Children's Friend

Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, the children's Friend, To Thee the orphans we commend; Do Thou their ev'ry need supply Until they reach their home on high. 2 Thou pleadest still so tenderly, "Let little ones come unto Me." O grant us grace to do Thy will, Our hearts with love and mercy fill. 3 Bless Thou the fatherless, we pray, Abide with them from day to day, Feed Thou Thy lambs, O dearest Lord, In verdant pastures of Thy Word. 4 Grant that we heed Thy Word's commands, And give us willing hearts and hands; Let us our gifts of love bestow, That they Thy boundless love may know. 5 Bless all who in the parents' stead Provide these little ones with bread; Bless all who shield with loving arms These helpless ones from all alarms. 6 O precious Saviour, hear our prayers! Protect Thy lambs from earthy snares; Be Thou their Guide, O heavenly Friend, Until they reach their journey's end. Amen.
