Our Father! Through The Coming Year
Author: William Gaskell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10706 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our Father! through the coming year
We know what shall be,
But we would leave without a fear
Its ordering all to Thee.
2 It may be we shall toil in vain
For what the world holds fair,
And all its good we thought to gain
Deceive, and prove but care.
3 It may be it shall darkly blend
Our love with anxious fears
And snatch away the valued friend,
The tried of many years.
4 It may be it shall bring us days
And nights of lingering pain,
And bid us take our farewell gaze
Of these loved haunts of men.
5 But calmly, Lord, on Thee we rest;
No fears our trust shall move;
Thou knowest what for each is best,
And Thou art perfect love. Languages: English Tune Title: BARTOW
Our Father! Through The Coming Year
O God, My Heart Is Fully Bent
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10710 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O God, my heart is fully bent
To magnify Thy name;
My tongue with cheerful songs of praise
Shall celebrate Thy fame.
2 Awake, my lute; nor thou, my harp,
Thy warbling notes delay;
Whilst I with early hymns of joy
Prevent the dawning day.
3 To all the listening tribes, O Lord,
Thy wondrous works I’ll tell,
And to those nations sing Thy praise,
That round about us dwell:
4 Because Thy mercy’s boundless height
The highest heav’n transcends;
And far beyond th’aspiring clouds
Thy faithful truth extends.
5 Be Thou, O God, exalted high
Above the starry frame;
And let the world, with one consent,
Confess Thy glorious name.
6 That all Thy chosen people Thee
Their Savior may declare;
Let Thy right hand protect me still,
And answer Thou my prayer.
7 Since God Himself has said the word,
Whose promise cannot fail,
With joy I Sichem will divide,
And measure Succoth’s vale.
8 Gilead is mine, Manasseh, too,
And Ephraim owns my cause:
Their strength my regal power supports,
And Judah gives my laws.
9 Moab I’ll make my servile drudge,
On vanquished Edom tread;
And thro’ the proud Philistine lands,
My conquering banners spread.
10 By whose support and aid shall I
Their well fenced city gain?
Who will my troops securely lead
Thro’ Edom’s guarded plain?
11 Lord, wilt not Thou assist our arms,
Which late Thou didst forsake?
And wilt not Thou, of these our hosts,
Once more the guidance take?
12 O to Thy servant in distress
Thy speedy succor send;
For vain it is on human aid
For safety to depend.
13 Then valiant acts shall we perform,
If Thou Thy power disclose;
For God it is, and God alone,
That treads down all our foes. Languages: English Tune Title: LAMBETH
O God, My Heart Is Fully Bent
Ye Hosts Of Heaven, Ye Mighty Ones
Author: George Rawson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10711 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ye hosts of Heaven, ye mighty ones,
Ascribe, with one accord,
The strength, the power, the majesty,
To your almighty Lord.
2 Give glory to His holy name,
And honor Him alone;
In beauty meet of holiness
Approach His lofty throne.
3 Jehovah’s voice of majesty
Is on the waters wide;
The God of glory thundereth,
And on the seas doth ride.
4 Jehovah sits upon the floods,
And tempests rage in vain;
Jehovah sits as sovereign king
And evermore shall reign. Languages: English Tune Title: CANTERBURY (HENCHMAN)
Ye Hosts Of Heaven, Ye Mighty Ones
Now Joyful Strains We Lift On High
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10716 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Now joyful strains we lift on high,
Amid the faithful throng
Of those who Jesus magnify
In sweet and holy song.
2 We render thanks, and bless the Lord,
Who died our souls to save;
Through whom to heavenly peace restored
We fear no more the grave.
3 With saints, who all triumphantly
In paradise record,
O’er sin and death, the victory,
We strike the silver chord.
4 With angel hosts that dwell above,
And weave their golden lays
Around the throne of truth and love,
We glad hosannas raise.
5 We celebrate the glorious name
Of earth’s Redeemer king;
Our tongues aloud His power proclaim,
In heart His grace we sing. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. STEPHENS
Now Joyful Strains We Lift On High
In Judah's Rugged Wilderness
Author: T. Fletcher Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10752 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: In Judah’s rugged wilderness Lyrics: 1 In Judah’s rugged wilderness,
Where Jordan rolls his flood,
In manners strict, and rude in dress,
The holy Baptist stood.
2 And while upon the river’s side
The people thronged to hear,
"Repent," the sacred preacher cried;
"The heavenly kingdom’s near."
3 Now Jesus to the stream descends;
His feet the waters lave;
And o’er His head, that humbly bends,
The Baptist pours the wave.
4 When lo! a heavenly form appears,
Descending as a dove;
And wondrous sounds th’assembly hears,
Proclaiming from above—
5 "This is My well belovèd Son;
On Him My Spirit rests;
Now is His reign of grace begun;
Attend His high behests."
6 The sacred voice has reached our ear,
And still through distant lands
Shall sound, till all His name revere,
And honor His commands. Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND
In Judah's Rugged Wilderness
The Land Before Them, Where to Choose?
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10767 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The land before them, where to choose Lyrics: 1 The land before them, where to choose—
They may not dwell at one—
Lay far and wide, on either side,
Beneath the morning sun.
2 Here homes of rest, like Eden dressed,
And there, beyond the skies,
The City stands not made with hands,
Nor seen with mortal eyes.
3 Who pitched his tent where sinners went,
Still keeps his spirit whole;
Nor eye nor ear lets that way near,
Defilement to the soul.
4 The Lord knows how the sainted brow
To fence with holy shame,
Sweet angel guest, unknown, but blest,
To pull us from the flame.
5 Straight to his noon, with staff and shoon,
The pilgrim climbs the hills;
And see the star of Christ afar,
Dim through the twilight’s chills.
6 There, like a pall, o’er field and wall,
The furnace hangs its breath;
And Jordan’s waves those cities’ graves
Heap with a sea of death.

The Awful Noontide Gloom Is O'er
Author: Archer T. Gurney Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The awful noontide gloom is o’er Lyrics: 1 The awful noontide gloom is o’er,
The darkness ebbs away;
The Maries linger to adore:
O, let us with them pray!
2 Yea, let us linger ’neath the cross
Where hangs the Lord of Life;
Now let us weep their bitter loss,
And mourn our carnal strife.
3 More calmly now each past offense
May we in grief review,
And weep our vanished innocence,
And feel despair our due.
4 Yet He upon the cross who lies
For us hath pardon won;
Thence blend we comfort with our sighs,
And laud the glorious Son.
5 The hours creep on—O rest we here
Beneath the cross’ shade!
We’ll keep our vigil, sad yet dear,
Till low our Lord is laid.
6 See! Joseph comes with spices’ store;
See Nicodemus aid:
They gaze upon their Lord once more
While daylight’s rays do fade.
7 With pious haste and pious awe
They soon their task complete;
From those blest hands the nails they draw
And free those sacred feet.
8 Then down the blessèd form they bear
And low on earth to lay,
And weeping bend in silent prayer,
Yet scarce for tears can pray.
9 Now see that gracious company,
The Maries, true Saint John,
And those twain lords of high degree
Now raise and bear Him on.
10 They bear Him to the new-hewn tomb,
There down their Lord they set,
And leave Him in the sacred gloom,
Their Lord, and Savior yet.
11 O silent tears, O sighs of pain,
How flowed ye fast and free!
For them, for us, the Lamb was slain
To all eternity. Languages: English Tune Title: WINDSOR
The Awful Noontide Gloom Is O'er
How Shall I Look Upon That Brow?
Author: K. Y. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10796 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How shall I look upon that brow Lyrics: 1 How shall I look upon that brow,
O crowned with thorns for me?
How shall I lift my sinful eyes,
Those glorious eyes to see?
2 How shall I dare to look upon
The piercèd hands and feet,
When all the dead in Christ shall rise
Their risen Lord to meet?
3 How shall I venture, holy Lord,
To come before Thee now,
All stained with sin my evil heart,
Its mark upon my brow?
4 My waywardness, my willfulness,
The sins I dare not name,
Gave to the Lord of Life His death,
The Lord of Glory shame.
5 The lame and blind were hated then
Of holy David’s soul;
They came to Thee in temple, Lord,
And Thou didst make them whole.
6 The leper dared not sit or rest
Where trace of man had been;
Yet didst Thou deign, all merciful,
To touch, and make him clean.
7 From some the righteous pure will shrink,
And shun their face to see,
But harlot and the publican
Thou calledst unto Thee.
8 And when Thy blessèd hands were pierced,
Upon the bitter tree,
Even in that hour of agony,
Thou thought with love of me.
9 Alas! I knew not what I did,
I know not what I do,
When by my sins I crucify
The Son of God anew.
10 I only know that I am vile,
More vile than words can say,
But know that Jesus did not will
The worst be cast away. Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND
How Shall I Look Upon That Brow?
Jesus Has Lived
Author: William R. Alger Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10845 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Jesus has lived! and we would bring Lyrics: 1 Jesus has lived! and we would bring
The world’s glad thanks today;
And at His feet while anthems ring,
The grateful offering lay.
2 Jesus has lived! and His pure life
So perfect and sublime,
Shall conquer man’s dark sin and strife
Through every rank and clime.
3 Jesus has died! and o’er the stars
Gone home to God on high:
He burst the grave’s cold prison bars,
And said, "Man cannot die."
4 Jesus yet lives! and from the sky
Where victory He wrote,
Before the good man’s closing eye,
Visions of glory float.
5 Jesus yet lives! and oh! may we,
While in this valley dim,
So feel our immortality,
That we may be like Him. Languages: English Tune Title: BEAIT IMMACULATI

Oh God, By Whom The Seed Is Given
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10881 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Oh God! by whom the seed is giv’n Lyrics: 1 Oh God! by whom the seed is giv’n;
By whom the harvest blest;
Whose word, like manna show’red from Heav’n,
Is planted in our breast;
2 Preserve it from the passing feet,
And plunderers of the air;
The sultry sun’s intenser heat,
And weeds of worldly care!
3 Though buried deep or thinly strown,
Do Thou Thy grace supply;
The hope in earthly furrows sown
Shall ripen in the sky! Languages: English Tune Title: CAMDEN ROAD
Oh God, By Whom The Seed Is Given
