How oft the day of God returns

Author: Simon Brown Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #308b (1908) Lyrics: 1 How oft the day of God returns To shed its quick'ning beams; And yet how slow devotion burns, How languid are its flames. 2 Accept our faint attempts to love; Our sins, O Lord, forgive; We would be like Thy saints above, And praise Thee while we live. 3 Increase, O Lord, our faith and hope, And fit us to ascend Where the assembly ne'er breaks up, Thy worship ne'er shall end; 4 When we shall with the ransomed throng, The Savior's praise proclaim, And give in an eternal song All glory to His Name.

What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone

Author: Sir Edward Denny Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #308 (1886) Lyrics: 1 What grace, O Lord, and beauty shone Around thy steps below; What patient love was seen in all Thy life and death of woe. 2 For, ever on thy burdened heart A weight of sorrow hung; Yet no ungentle, murmuring word Escaped thy silent tongue. 3 Thy foes might hate, despise, revile, Thy friends unfaithful prove; Unwearied in forgiveness still, Thy heart could only love. 4 O, give us hearts to love like thee! Like thee, O Lord, to grieve Far more for others' sins, than all The wrongs that we receive. Topics: Christ Life and Character Tune Title: EVAN

Behold, where, in a mortal form

Author: William Enfield Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #309 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Behold, where, in a mortal form, Appears each grace divine! The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2 To spread the rays of heavenly light, To give the mourner joy, To preach glad tidings to the poor, Was his divine employ. 3 'Mid keen reproach and cruel scorn, He meek and patient stood; His foes, ungrateful, sought his life, Who labored for their good. 4 Be Christ our pattern and our guide, His image may we bear; O, may we tread his holy steps Till we his glory share!

The chosen three, on mountain hight

Author: David H. Ela Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #310 (1886) Lyrics: 1 The chosen three, on mountain hight, While Jesus bowed in prayer, Beheld his vesture glow with light, His face shine wondrous fair. 2 And lo! with the transfigured Lord, Leader and seer they saw; With Carmel's hoary prophet stood The giver of the law. 3 From the low-bending cloud above, Whence radiant brightness shone, Spake out the Father's voice of love, "Hear my beloved Son!" 4 Lord, lead us to the mountain hight; To prayer's transfiguring glow; And clothe us with the Spirit's might, For grander work below.

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Author: Sir Edward Denny Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #311 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world, The blessed Saviour passed; A mourner all his life was he, A dying Lamb at last. 2 That tender heart that felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place, Save only in the grave. 4 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross, with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreathed his brow with thorn? Topics: Christ Life and Character Tune Title: EVAN
