Author: James G. Deck Hymnal: Laudes Domini #441 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: O Lamb of God! still keep me Lyrics: 1 O Lamb of God! still keep me
Near to thy wounded side;
'Tis only there in safety
And peace I can abide!
What foes and snares surround me,
What doubts and fears within!
The grace that sought and found me,
Alone can keep me clean.
2 Soon shall my eyes behold thee,
With rapture, face to face;
One half hath not been told me
Of all thy power and grace;
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
The wonders of thy love,
Shall be the endless story
Of all the saints above. Languages: English

The Church One
Author: S. Baring-Gould Hymnal: Laudes Domini #444 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Through the night of doubt and sorrow Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow,
Onward goes the pilgrim band,
Singing songs of expectation,
Marching to the promised land.
Clear before us, through the darkness,
Gleams and burns the guiding light:
Brother clasps the hand of brother,
Stepping fearless through the night.
2 One the light of God's own presence,
O'er his ransomed people shed,
Chasing far the gloom and terror,
Brightening all the path we tread:
One the object of our journey,
One the faith which never tires,
One the earnest looking forward,
One the hope our God inspires.
3 One the strain the lips of thousands
Lifts as from the heart of one;
One the conflict, one the peril,
One the march in God begun:
One the gladness of rejoicing
On the far eternal shore,
Where the one Almighty Father,
Reigns in love for evermore. Languages: English Tune Title: BEECROFT
The Church One
So let our lips and lives express
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #446 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian experience The Christian life figuratively described as Taking up the Cross Lyrics: 1 So let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all divine!
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honours of our Saviour God,
When the salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the pow'r of sin.
3 Our flesh and sense must be deny'd,
Passion and envy, lust and pride;
While justice, temp'rance, truth, and love,
Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord,
And faith stands leaning on his word.
So let our lips and lives express
"The new life"
Author: Frederick W. Faber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #447 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Hark, hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling Lyrics: 1 Hark, hark, my soul! angelic songs are swelling
O'er earth's green fields and ocean's wave-beat shore:
How sweet the truth those blessed strains are telling
Of that new life when sin shall be no more.
Refrain:
Angels of Jesus, angels of light,
Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night.
2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come;
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home. [Refrain]
3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
King Shepherd, turn their weary steps to thee. [Refrain]
4 Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping,
Sing us sweet fragments of songs above;
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: VOX ANGELICA

Progress
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: Laudes Domini #459 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Like the eagle, upward, onward Lyrics: 1 Like the eagle, upward, onward,
Let my soul in faith be borne:
Calmly gazing, skyward, sunward,
Let my eye unshrinking turn!
2 Where the cross, God's love revealing,
Sets the fettered spirit free,
Where it sheds its wondrous healing,
There, my soul, thy rest shall be!
3 Oh, may I no longer, dreaming;
Idly waste my golden day,
But, each precious hour redeeming,
Upward, upward, press my way!

Progress
Psalm 127
Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: Laudes Domini #461 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Vainly, through night's weary hours Lyrics: 1 Vainly, through night's weary hours,
Keep we watch, lest foes alarm;
Vain our bulwarks, and our towers,
But for God's protecting arm.
2 Vain were all our toil and labor,
Did not God that labor bless;
Vain, without his grace and favor,
Every talent we possess.
3 Vainer still the hope of heaven,
That on human strength relies;
But to him shall be given,
Who in humble faith applies.
4 Seek we, then, the Lord's Anointed;
He will grant us peace and rest:
Ne'er was suppliant disappointed,
Who thro' Christ his prayer addressed. Languages: English

Courage and Faith
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #462 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Father, hear the prayer we offer! Lyrics: 1 Father, hear the prayer we offer!
Not for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
2 Not for ever by still waters
Would we idly quiet stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
3 Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings, be our guide;
Through endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be thou at our side! Languages: English

"So Jesus Looked"
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: Laudes Domini #466 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Father of mercies! send thy grace Lyrics: 1 Father of mercies! send thy grace,
All powerful from above,
To form in our obedient souls
The image of thy love.
2 Oh, may our sympathizing breasts
The generous pleasure know,
Kindly to share in others' joy,
And weep for others' woe!
3 When the most helpless sons of grief
In low distress are laid,
Soft be our hearts their pains to feel,
And swift our hands to aid.
4 So Jesus looked on dying men,
When throned above the skies;
And 'mid the embraces of his God,
He felt compassion rise.
5 On wings of love the Saviour flew,
To raise us from the ground,
And made the richest of his blood
A balm for every wound. Languages: English Tune Title: REMSEN

God's hidden ones
Author: William Croswell Hymnal: Laudes Domini #467 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Lord, lead the way the Saviour went Lyrics: 1 Lord, lead the way the Saviour went,
By lane and cell obscure,
And let love's treasures still be spent,
Like his, upon the poor.
2 Like him, through scenes of deep distress,
Who bore the world's sad weight,
We, in their crowded loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.
3 For thou hast placed us side by side
In this wide world of ill;
And that thy followers may be tried,
The poor are with us still.
4 Mean are all offerings we can make;
Yet thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Saviour's sake,
They lose not their reward. Languages: English

Minute fidelity
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #468 (1890) Topics: Christian Experience First Line: Scorn not the slightest word or deed Lyrics: 1 Scorn not the slightest word or deed,
Nor deem it void of power;
There's fruit in each wind-wafted seed,
That waits its natal hour.
2 A whispered word may touch the heart,
And call it back to life;
A look of love bid sin depart,
And still unholy strife.
3 No act falls fruitless; none can tell
How vast its power may be,
Nor what results infolded dwell
Within it silently.
4 Work on, despair not, bring thy mite,
Nor care how small it be;
God is with all that serve the right,
The holy, true, and free. Languages: English
