O what shall I do my Saviour to praise

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Believers (See also Christian Saints) Joy of Lyrics: 1 O what shall I do my Saviour to praise, So faithful and true, so plenteous in grace, So strong to deliver, so good to redeem, The weakest believer that hangs upon Him! 2 How happy the man whose heart is set free, The people that can be joyful in Thee! Their joy is to walk in the light of Thy face, And still they are talking of Jesu's grace. 3 For Thou art their boast, their glory and power; And I also trust to see the glad hour, My soul's new creation, a life from the dead, The day of salvation, that lifts up my head. 4 For Jesus, my Lord, is now my defence; I trust in His word, none plucks me from thence, Since I have found favour, He all things will do; My King and my Saviour shall make me anew. 5 Yes, Lord, I shall see the bliss of Thine own, Thy secret to me shall soon be made known; For sorrow and sadness I joy shall receive, And share in the gladness of all that believe.

Light of the world, faint were our weary feet

Author: Mrs. Ormiston Chant, 1848 Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Light of the World; Jesus (See also Christ) Morning Star Lyrics: 1 Light of the world, faint were our weary feet With wandering far; But Thou didst come our lonely hearts to greet, O Morning Star; And Thou didst bid us lift our gaze on high, To see the glory of the glowing sky. 2 In days long past we missed our homeward way; We could not see; Blind were our eyes, our feet were bound to stray; How blind to Thee! But Thou didst pity, Lord, our gloomy plight; And Thou didst touch our eyes, and give them sight. 3 Now hallelujahs rise along the road Our glad feet tread; Thy love hath shared our sorrow's heavy load; There's light o'erhead: Glory to Thee whose love hath led us on, Glory for all the great things Thou hast done. 4 Where is death's sting, where, grave, thy victory, Where all the pain, Now that thy King the veil that hung o'er thee Hath rent in twain? Light of the world, we hear Thee bid us come To light and love in Thine eternal home. Used With Tune: SANDON

Sunset and evening star

Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1809-1892 Appears in 195 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Pilot Lyrics: 1 Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar, When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. 2 Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho' from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar.

Author: Henry Downton, 1818-1885 Appears in 56 hymnals Topics: Missions (See also Kingdom of Christ) Lyrics: 1 Lord, her watch Thy Church is keeping; When shall earth Thy rule obey? When shall end the night of weeping? When shall break the promised day? See the whitening harvest languish, Waiting still the labourers' toil; Was it vain, Thy Son's deep anguish? Shall the strong retain the spoil? 2 Tidings, sent to every creature, Millions yet have never heard; Can they hear without a preacher? Lord Almighty, give the Word: Give the Word; in every nation Let the gospel-trumpet sound, Witnessing a world's salvation To the earth's remotest bound. 3 Then the end: Thy Church completed, All Thy chosen gathered in, With their King in glory seated, Satan bound, and banished sin; Gone for ever parting, weeping, Hunger, sorrow, death, and pain; Lo! her watch Thy Church is keeping; Come, Lord Jesus, come to reign.

Vain are all our weak endeavours Thou our Guide and Helper be! Star of hope! in danger cheer us; Help can only come from Thee. 2 When the storms of fierce temptation Wildly sweep across our way, And the night of fear and sorrow Quenches every starry ray, Let Thy presence, great Redeemer, Banish all our guilty fear; And the joy of Thy salvation Every fainting spirit cheer. 3 When the mists of doubt and passion Hide the reefs and shoals from sight, God of Love, protect and save us! Be our Refuge and our Light; Be our sure, unerring Pilot, Guide us safely to the shore, Where the waves of sin and sorrow Beat upon the soul no more. Used With Tune: BITHYNIA

Faint not, O faltering feet! Press onward to that blest estate, In righteousness complete. 5 Let faith transcend the passing hour, The transient pain and strife; Upraised by an immortal power, The power of endless life.
