From Thy Habitation Holy

Author: John R. Macduff Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Thy habitation holy, Spirit of all truth, descend, While we sinners, poor and lowly, At the throne of mercy bend; Help our weakness— And a gracious answer send! 2 Come Thou, as the dew of Hermon Softly falls on Zion’s hill Let us in Thy strength determine Henceforth to obey Thy will— Dwell within us— Let Thy grace our bosoms fill. 3 Brooding o’er us as on chaos Cause our darkness to retreat; Shine into our hearts, and lay us Humbled at the mercy-seat— Guide us—use us As Thy sovereign love sees meet. 4 When the heart is crushed and broken, When bereavement dims the eye, Let us claim the promise spoken By those lips that cannot lie— Blessèd Savior, Send Thy Spirit from on high. 5 When we tread the waves of Jordan, O be near us, sacred Guest! Seal to us our hope of pardon; Dove-like o’er each billow’s crest Do Thou hover— Guiding to eternal rest! Used With Tune: RAPHAEL (Hopkins) Text Sources: Altar Stones, (London: James Nisbet, 1853)

When death’s cold and turbid waters, To their bosom me receive, Who will dissipate the darkness, Who my terror will relieve? If my Saviour Smile, then fear will flee away.

Thou, Jehovah, art my shepherd, Therefore I no want shall know; In green pastures Thou dost lead me, Leadest where still waters flow; And, when fainting, Sweet refreshment doest bestow. 2. For Thy name’s sake Thou dost guide me In the paths of righteousness; Though I walk the vale of shadows, Fears no more my soul oppress; Thou art with me, With Thy rod and staff to bless. 3. Thou preparest me a table In the presence of the foe; Thou my head with oil anointest, Yea, my cup doth overflow. O my Savior, Having Thee, no want I know. 4. Surely grace and loving-kindness Shall forever follow me, Till, my days of life all ended, Evermore my home shall be, O Jehovah, In Thy holy house with Thee.

Fly, Ye Seasons

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Fly, ye seasons, fly still faster Lyrics: 1. Fly, ye seasons, fly still faster; Let the glorious day come on, When we shall behold our Master Seated on His heavenly throne; Then the Savior Shall descend to claim His own. 2. What is earth with all its treasures, To the joy the Gospel brings? Well may we resign its pleasures, Jesus gives us better things; All His people Draw from Heaven’s eternal springs. 3. But if here we taste of pleasure, What will Heaven itself afford? There our joy will know no measure; There we shall behold our Lord; There His people Shall obtain their bright reward. 4. Fly, ye seasons, fly still faster; Swiftly bring the glorious day; Jesus, come, our Lord and Master! Come from Heaven without delay; Take Thy people, Take, O take us hence away!

Go, Ye Heralds Of Salvation

Author: Thomas Baldwin Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go, ye heralds of salvation, Go, proclaim "Redeeming blood"; Publish to that barbarous nation, Peace and pardon from our God: Tell the heathen, None but Christ can do them good. 2 While the Gospel trump you’re sounding, May the Spirit seal the Word, And, thro’ plenteous grace abounding, Heathen bow and own the Lord; Idols leaving, God alone shall be adored. 3 Distant tho’ our souls are blending Still our hearts are warm and true; In our prayers to Heav’n ascending, Brethren—we’ll remember you; Heav’n preserve you, Safely all your journey through. 4 When your mission here is finished, And your work on earth is done, May your souls, by grace replenished, Find acceptance thro’ the Son; Thence admitted, Dwell for ever near His throne. 5 Loud hosannas now resounding, Make the heav’nly arches ring: Grace to sinful men abounding, Ransomed millions sweetly sing; While, with rapture, All adore their heav’nly king.
