Saviour, Blessed Saviour

Appears in 335 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, Blessed Saviour, Listen whilst we sing, Hearts and voices raising Praises to our King. All we have to offer, All we hope to be, Body, soul, and spirit, All we yield to Thee. 2 Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to Thee, Deep in adoration Bending low the knee. Thou for our redemption Cam'st on earth to die, Thou, that we might follow, Hast gone up on high. 3 Great and ever greater Are Thy mercies here, True and everlasting Are the glories there. Where no pain or sorrow, Toil, or care is known, Where the Angel-legions Circle round Thy Throne. 4 Brighter still and brighter Glows the western sun, Shedding all its gladness O'er our work that's done; Time will soon be over, Toil and sorrows past, May we, Blessed Saviour, Find a rest at last. 5 Onward, ever onward, Journeying o'er the road, Worn by saints before us, Journeying on to God: Leaving all behind us, May we hasten on, Backward never looking Till the prize is won. 6 Bliss, all bliss excelling, When the ransomed soul Earthly toil forgetting Finds its promise goal; Where in joys unheard of Saints with angels sing, Never weary raising Praises to their King. Amen. Used With Tune: EDINA

Songs of praise the Angels sang

Appears in 550 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Songs of praise the Angels sang, Heav'n with Alleluias rang, When Jehovah's work begun, When He spake and it was done. 2 Songs of praise awoke the morn, When the Prince of Peace was born; Songs of praise arose, when He Captive led captivity. 3 Heaven and earth must pass away; Songs of praise shall crown that day: God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 And shall man alone be dumb Till that glorious kingdom come? No; the Church delights to raise Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise. 5 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 6 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. Amen. Used With Tune: VIENNA

Amen. Used With Tune: HURSLEY

Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go

Appears in 350 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 Sweet Saviour, bless us ere we go; Thy word into our minds instil: And make our lukewarm hearts to glow With lowly love and fervent will. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 2 The day has gone, its hours have run, And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. Through lifs's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 4 Labour is sweet, for Thou hast toil'd; And care is light, for Thou hast cared; Ah! never! let our works be soil'd With strife, or by deceit ensnarled. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 5 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; O let Thy mercy make us glad; Thou art our Jesus, and our all. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. 6 Sweet Saviour, bless us; night is come; Through night and darkness near us be, Good angels watch about our home, And we are one day nearer Thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesus, be our light. Amen. Used With Tune: STELLA

The King of love my Shepherd is

Appears in 700 hymnals Topics: Festivals Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His, And He is mine for ever. 2 Where streams of living water flow My ransom'd soul He leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish, oft I stray'd, But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill With Thee, dear Lord, beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy Cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spreadst a table in my sight, Thy unction grace bestoweth, And O the transport of delight With which my cup o'erfloweth. 6 And so, through all the length of days, Thy goodness faileth never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house forever!

Angels of Jesus, Angels of lights, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night, Singing to welcome the pilgrims, the pilgrims of the night. 4 Rest comes at length, though life be long and dreary, The day must dawn, and darksome night be past; All journeys end in welcome to the weary, And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. Angels of Jesus, Angels of lights, Singing to welcome the pilgrims of the night, Singing to welcome the pilgrims, the pilgrims of the night. 5 Angels, sing on! your faithful watches keeping; Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above; Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping, And life's long shadows break in cloudless love.
