Dread Jehovah, God of Nations
Author: Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1235 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Dread Jehovah, God of nations,
From Thy temple in the skies,
Hear Thy people’s supplications,
Now for their deliverance rise.
2. Lo, with deep contritions turning,
Humbly at Thy feet we bend;
Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning;
Hear us, spare us, and defend.
3. Though our sins, our hearts confounding,
Long and loud for vengeance call,
Thou hast mercy more abounding,
Jesus’ blood can cleanse from all.
4. Let that love veil our transgressions,
Let that blood our guilt efface:
Save Thy people from oppression,
Save from spoil Thy holy place. Languages: English Tune Title: BATTY
Dread Jehovah, God of Nations
Days and Moments Quickly Flying
Author: Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1242 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Days and moments quickly flying
Blend the living with the dead;
Soon our bodies will be lying
Each within its narrow bed.
2. Soon our souls to God who gave them
Will have sped their rapid flight:
Able now by grace to save them,
O that, while we can, we might!
3. Jesus, infinite Redeemer,
Maker of this mighty frame,
Teach, O teach us to remember
What we are, and whence we came.
4. Whence we came and whither wending,
Soon we must through darkness go,
To inherit bliss unending,
Or eternity of woe.
5. Jesus, merciful Redeemer,
Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice;
Wake, O wake each idle dreamer
Now to make the eternal choice.
6. As a shadow, life is fleeting;
As a vapor so it flies;
For the old year now retreating
Pardon grant, and make us wise;
7. Wise that we our days may number,
Strive and wrestle with our sin,
Say not in our work, nor slumber
Till Thy glorious rest we win.
8. Soon before the Judge all glorious
We with all the dead shall stand:
Savior, over death victorious,
Place us then on Thy right hand. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER

Earth Has Many a Noble City
Author: Aurelius Prudentius, 348-413; Edward Caswall Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1303 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Earth has many a noble city;
Bethlehem, thou dost all excel;
Out of thee the Lord from Heaven
Came to rule His Israel.
2. Fairer than the sun at morning
Was the star that told His birth,
To the world its God announcing
Seen in fleshly form on earth.
3. Eastern sages at His cradle
Make oblations rich and rare;
See them give, in deep devotion,
Gold and frankincense and myrrh.
4. Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
Incense doth their God disclose,
Gold the King of kings proclaimeth,
Myrrh His sepulcher foreshows.
5. Jesu, whom the Gentiles worshipped
At Thy glad Epiphany,
Unto Thee, with God the Father
And the Spirit, glory be. Languages: English Tune Title: STUTTGART

Ever Would I Fain Be Reading
Author: Luise Hensel; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1384 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Ever would I fain be reading
In the ancient holy Book,
Of my Savior’s gentle pleading,
Truth in every word and look.
2. How when children came He blessed them,
Suffered no man to reprove,
Took them in His arms, and pressed them
To His heart with words of love.
3. How to all the sick and tearful
Help was ever gladly shown;
How He sought the poor and fearful,
Called them brothers and His own.
4. How no contrite soul e’er sought Him,
And was bidden to depart,
How with gentle words He taught him,
Took the death from out his heart.
5. Still I read the ancient story,
And my joy is ever new,
How for us He left His glory,
How He still is kind and true.
6. How the flock He gently leadeth
Whom His Father gave Him here;
How His arms He widely spreadeth
To His heart to draw us near.
7. Let me kneel, my Lord, before Thee,
Let my heart in tears o’erflow,
Melted by Thy love adore Thee,
Blest in Thee ’mid joy or woe! Languages: English Tune Title: GALILEE (Jude)

Father, Hear the Prayer We Offer
Author: Love M. Willis Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1467 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Father, hear the prayer we offer:
Nor for ease that prayer shall be,
But for strength, that we may ever
Live our lives courageously.
2. Not forever in green pastures
Do we ask our way to be,
But the steep and rugged pathway
May we tread rejoicingly.
3. Not forever by still waters
Would we idly, quiet stay;
But would smite the living fountains
From the rocks along our way.
4. Be our strength in hours of weakness,
In our wanderings be our Guide;
Through endeavor, failure, danger,
Father, be Thou at our side.
5. Let our path be bright or dreary,
Storm or sunshine be our share;
May our souls in hope unweary
Make Thy work our ceaseless prayer. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. SYLVESTER

From the Depths Do I Invoke Thee
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1497 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. From the depths do I invoke Thee,
Lord, to me incline Thine ear;
To my voice be Thou attentive,
And my supplications hear.

In Thy presence who shall stand?
But with Thee there is forgiveness,
That Thy name may fear command.
3. For Jehovah I am waiting
And my hope is in His Word;
In His Word of promise given,
Yea, my soul waits for the Lord.
4. For the Lord my soul is waiting
More than watchers in the night;
More than they for morning watching,
Watching for the morning light.
5. Hope in God, ye waiting people,
Mercies great in Him abound;
With the Lord a full redemption
From the guilt of sin is found. Scripture: Psalm 130 Languages: English Tune Title: EVENING PRAYER (Stebbins)

Firmly I Believe and Truly
Author: John H. Newman Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1539 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1. Firmly I believe and truly
God is Three, and God is One;
And I next acknowledge duly
Manhood taken by the Son.

In that manhood crucified;
And each thought and deed unruly
Do to death, as He has died.
3. Simply to His grace and wholly
Light and life and strength belong,
And I love supremely, solely,
Him the holy, Him the strong.
4. And I hold in veneration,
For the love of Him alone,
Holy Church as His creation,
And her teachings are His own.
5. And I take with joy whatever
Now besets me, pain or fear,
And with a strong will I sever
All the ties which bind me here.
6. Adoration aye be given,
With and through the angelic host,
To the God of earth and Heaven,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Languages: English Tune Title: SHIPSTON
