Author: J. G. Deck, 1802-1884 Appears in 161 hymnals 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 lusts and fears within! The grace that sought and found me Alone can keep me clean. 2 'Tis only in Thee hiding, I know my life secure; Only in Thee abiding, The conflict can endure; Thine arm the victory gaineth O'er every hurtful foe; Thy love my heart sustaineth In all its cares and woe. 3 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 Thy saints above.

Far Off Our Brethren's Voices

Author: Samuel J. Stone Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Far off our brethren’s voices Lyrics: 1 Far off our brethren’s voices Are borne from alien lands, Far off our Father’s children Reach out their waiting hands: "Give us," they cry, "our portion; Co-heirs of grace divine: Give us the word of promise, Give us the Threefold line." 2 Yea, though the world of waters Between us ever rolls, No ocean wastes may sever The brotherhood of souls. Far from us, they are of us; No bound of all the earth May part the sons and daughters Who share the second birth. 3 One standard floats above us, One old historic throne; In nearness or in distance In loyal faith we own. So in the things eternal Adore we at one shrine; And with the nation’s banner Rear we the Church’s sign. 4 In happiest, homely commune, When sweetest songs are sung, Awakes those alien echoes One sacred mother tongue. Then let us praise together! Together let us pray, And go together homeward Upon the ancient day! 5 Together, heav’nward, homeward; For ever in our view One spiritual city— Jerusalem the new; For ever drawing nearer To One beloved, adored, The Crucified who bought us, The crowned, incarnate Lord. 6 Lord God! Eternal Father! Send down the Holy Dove, For His dear sake who loved us, To quicken us in love; Bless us with His compassion, That we, or ere we rest, May work to bless our brethren, And, blessing, be more blest.

A New Year Prayer

Author: Emma F. R. Campbell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Before the new year’s portal Lyrics: 1 Before the new year’s portal With waiting feet I stand And seek, dear Lord, a blessing, The guidance of Thy hand. The path is all untrodden, No human footfall yet Has left a trace to follow, And save our vain regret. 2 The way seems dark before me, With no clear guiding light; All unrevealed its dangers To my dim mortal sight. Father, I dare not venture One single step alone, Lest I in blindness stumble Against some hidden stone. 3 Known to Thy higher wisdom Is all my future way; Its roughness and its windings, Its snares to lead astray. Unguided I shall wander, Lord, let me take Thy hand, And hold Thou up my goings, That I secure may stand. 4 I know not what awaits me Along the coming year, What cup of joy untasted, What weariness or fear; Beneath what weight of sorrow I may be called to bow, How near the dreary shadow Falls on my pathway now. 5 But this I know, undoubting, That not too great or strong, Will be the cross Thou’lt give me, The darkness not too long; For loving like a father Thou chasten but to bless; And with each needed trial Will give sustaining grace. 6 Lord, quiet these forebodings, These human doubts remove; Give me childlike assurance, A calm, unwavering love. Let me go forward bravely, With willing, trusting feet, Through Thine own strength to conquer Each enemy I meet.
