One Thousand-Million Souls
Author: L. H. Wilson Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: One thousand-million souls! Lyrics: 1 One thousand-million souls!
In deep and dark despair,
They lie in speechless woe,
In wan and weary care.
No God, no Christ, no hope
In rayless gloom they grope,
And dying, without hope,
And dying without hope.
2 ’Mid China’s peopled plains,
Or Greenland’s frozen snow,
Where India’s temple fanes
In glittering splendors glow—
On many an ocean isle,
’Mid nature’s sweetest smile,
One night of horror reigns,
One night of horror reigns.
3 One thousand-million souls,
As hopeless wanderers die,
No gleam of light appears
Along their darkened sky.
No Christ to them made known,
No blood which doth atone,
For sins of deepest dye,
For sins of deepest dye.
4 And must they die unsought?
Die in their voiceless grief?
Die, ’mid their woes untaught?
Die like the withered leaf?
And in their hour of need
Shall none give willing heed
Or send the craved relief,
Or send the craved relief?
5 No, no, it must not be—
Rise, sluggish Church of God,
The Savior calls to thee:
"Thro’ all the earth abroad,
Go, ere the years are flown,
And there My love make known,
Wherever man hath trod,
Wherever man hath trod." Used With Tune: BRECKENRIDGE Text Sources: Gospel Songs and Hymns No. 1 by George B. Holsinger (Bridgewater, VA: Brethren Publishing House, 1898)

My spirit longs for Thee
Author: John Byrom (1691-1763) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My spirit longs for Thee
Within my troubled breast,
Though I unworthy be
Of so divine a Guest.
Of so divine a Guest
Unworthy though I be,
Yet has my heart no rest,
Unless it come from Thee.
2 Unless it come from Thee,
In vain I look around;
In all that I can see
No rest is to be found.
No rest is to be found
But in Thy blessed love;
O let my wish be crowned,
And send it from above!
Amen. Topics: Orisons; Aspiration; Inner Life, The; Love and Communion; Peace, Spiritual Used With Tune: FINGAL

O God, Be Merciful
Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O God, be merciful,
Be merciful to me,
For man with constant hate,
Would fain my ruin see.
My many enemies
Against me proudly fight;
To overwhelm my soul
They watch from morn to night.
2. What time I am afraid
I put my trust in Thee;
In God I rest, and praise
His Word, so rich and free;
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.
3. All day they wrest my words,
Their thoughts are full of hate;
They meet, they lurk, they watch,
As for my soul they wait;
Shall they by wickedness
Escape Thy judgment right?
O God of righteousness
Destroy them in Thy might.
4. Thou knowest all my woes,
O treasure Thou my tears;
Are they not in Thy book,
Where all my life appears?
My foes shall backward turn
When I appeal to Thee,
For this I surely know,
That God is still for me.
5. In God, the Lord, I rest,
His word of grace I praise,
His promise stands secure,
Nor fear nor foe dismays;
In God I put my trust,
I neither doubt nor fear,
For man can never harm
With God my helper near.
6. Upon me are Thy vows,
O God, in whom I live;
The sacrifice of praise
To Thee I now will give;
For Thou hast saved from death,
From falling kept me free,
That in the light of life
My walk may be with Thee. Used With Tune: CANA Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912)
O God, Be Merciful
God, Who Created Me
Author: Henry C. Beeching Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. God, who created me
nimble and light of limb,
In three elements free,
to run, to ride, to swim;
Not when the sense is dim,
but now from the heart of joy,
I would remember Him;
take the thanks of a boy.
2. Jesus, King and Lord,
whose are my foes to fight,
Gird me with Thy sword,
swift and sharp and bright.
Thee would I serve if I might,
and conquer if I can:
From day-dawn to night,
take the strength of a man.
3. Spirit of love and truth,
breathing in grosser clay,
The light and flame of youth,
delight of men in the fray,
Wisdom in strength’s decay;
from pain, strife, wrong to be free
This best gift I pray,
take my spirit to Thee. Used With Tune: JEWETT Text Sources: In a Garden, and Other Poems, 1895

Thine ear, O Christ, to hear
The intercession of
Thy servant true and dear,
That we unworthy, who
have trespassed in Thy sight,
May live before Thee where
he dwells in glorious light.
2. O God our Savior, look
on Thine inheritance,
Sealed by the favor shining
from Thy countenance;
That no false spirit bring
to naught the souls of price
Bought by the merit of
Thy perfect sacrifice.
3. We bear the burden of
our guilt and enmity,
Until Thy pardon lift
the heart from slavery;
Then through the spending of
Thy life blood, King of grace,
Grant us unending triumph
in Thy holy place.
4. To Thee the glorious Christ,
our Savior manifest,
All wreaths victorious, praise
and worship be addressed,
Whom with the living Father
humbly we adore,
And the life giving Spirit,
God forevermore. Used With Tune: ANNUE CHRISTE Text Sources: The English Hymnal (London: Oxford University Press, 1906), number 174
