Let saints below in concert sing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 177 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing With those to glory gone: For all the servants of our King, In earth, and heaven, are one. 2 One family--we dwell in Him-- One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream-- The narrow stream of death; 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of his host have cross'd the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home Some happy spirits fly; And we are to the margin come, And soon expect to die. 5 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the ransom'd blessed bands Upon th'eternal shore. 6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide; And when the word is given, Bid death's cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven.

Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 398 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Stay, Thou insulted Spirit, stay, Though I have done Thee such despite; Cast not a sinner quite away, Nor take Thine everlasting flight. 2 Though I have steel'd my stubborn heart, Oft shaken off my guilty fears, And vex'd and urged Thee to depart, For many long rebellious years; 3 Though I have most unfaithful been Of all who e'er Thy grace received, Ten thousand times Thy goodness seen, Ten thousand times Thy goodness grieved; 4 Yes, oh, the chief of sinners spare, In honor of my great High-Priest; Nor in Thy righteous anger swear T'exclude me from Thy people's rest. 5 This only woe I deprecate, This only plague I pray remove, Nor leave me in my lost estate, Nor curse me with this want of love. 6 E'en now my weary soul release, Upraise me with Thy gracious hand, And guide into Thy perfect peace, And bring me to the promised land.

God of my life, to Thee I call!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 173 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 God of my life, to Thee I call! Afflicted at Thy feet I fall; When the great water-floods prevail, Leave not my trembling heart to fail. 2 Friend of the friendless and the faint! Where should I lodge my deep complaint? Where but with Thee, whose open door Invites the helpless and the poor! 3 Did ever mourner plead with Thee, And Thou refuse that mourner’s plea? Does not Thy word still fix'd remain, That none shall seek Thy face in vain! 4 Poor thou I am--despised, forgot, Yet God, my God, forgets me not; And he is safe, and must succeed, For whom the Lord vouchsafes to plead.

There is an hour when I must part

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 There is an hour when I must part From all I hold most dear; And life, with its best hopes, will then As nothingness appear. 2 There is an hour when I must sink Beneath the stroke of death; And yield to Him who gave it first, My struggling vital breath. 3 There is an hour when I must stand Before the judgment-seat; And all my sins, and all my foes, In awful vision meet. 4 There is an hour when I must look On one Eternity; And nameless woe, or blissful life, My endless portion be. 5 O Saviour, then in all my need Be near, be near to me! And let my soul, by steadfast faith, Find life and heaven in Thee.

Thee we adore, Eternal Name!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 374 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name! And humbly own to Thee How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms are we! 2 Our wasting lives are short'ning still, As months and days increase; And ev'ry beating pulse we tell Leaves but the number less. 3 Great God! on what a slender thread Hang everlasting things! Th'eternal state of all the dead Upon life's feeble strings. 4 Infinite joy, or endless woe Attends on every breath; And yet, how unconcern'd we go Upon the brink of death! 5 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dangerous road! And if our souls are hurried hence, May they be found with God.

Oh, where shall rest be found

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 652 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years-- And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh, what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord God of truth and grace! Teach us that death to shun: Lest we be driven from Thy face, And evermore undone. 6 Here would we end our quest; Alone are found in Thee The life of perfect love, the rest Of immortality.

How can I thank Thee, Lord

Meter: 6.7.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Experience Lyrics: 1 HOW can I thank Thee, Lord, For all Thy loving-kindness? Thou hast so long a time Had patience with my blindness, When dead in many sins And trespasses I lay, I kindled, holy God, Thine anger every day. 2 Lord, Thou hast shown to me Divine commiseration: I persevered in sin, But Thou in great compassion; I did resist Thee, Lord, Deferring to repent; Thou didst defer Thy wrath And instant punishment. 3 It is Thy work alone, That I am now converted, Thy power o'er Satan's work In me Thou hast asserted; Thy mercy, that doth reach Unto the clouds, O Lord, Did break my stony heart By Thine own mighty Word. 4 Though able to offend Thee, Lord, by sin and failing, Still to regain Thy grace My strength was unavailing. Though I could fall from grace And choose the way of sin, I had no strength to rise, A new life to begin. 5 But Thou hast raised me up, And with divine compassion Hast shown me, Lord, the way That leadeth to salvation. I thank Thee, Lord, that now My former sins I hate, And freely--not from fear-- Dead works abominate. 6 That I may not backslide, But life in heaven inherit, Grant me, while here I live, O Lord, Thy holy Spirit, That He may give me strength In mine infirmity, And e'er renew my heart, To serve Thee willingly. 7 O guide and lead me, Lord, While here below I wander; Grant that I follow Thee, My Guide and my Commander. For if I lead myself, I soon am led astray, But if Thou leadest me, I do my duty aye. 8 O Father, God of Love, Hear now my supplication! Lord Jesus, Son of God, O grant me Thy salvation! And Thou, O Holy Ghost, Always abide with me, That I may serve Thee here, And there eternally!

Ever patient, gentle, meek

Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Ever patient, gentle, meek, Holy Saviour! was Thy mind; Vainly in myself I seek, Likeness to my Lord to find; Yet, that mind which was in Thee, May be, must be form'd in me. 2 Days of toil, 'mid throngs of men, Vex'd not, ruffled not Thy soul; Still, collected, calm, serene, Thou each feeling couldst control. Lord, that mind which was in Thee, May be, must be form'd in me. 3 Though such griefs were Thine to bear, For each suff'rer Thou couldst feel; Every mourner's burden share, Every wounded spirit heal: Saviour! let thy grace in me Form that mind which was in Thee.
