In Hope We Lift Our Wishful, Longing Eyes

Author: James Deck, 1807-1884 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2987 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1. In hope we lift our wishful, longing eyes, Waiting to see the Morning Star arise; How bright, how gladsome will His advent be, Before the Sun shines forth in majesty! 2. How will our eyes to see His face delight, Whose love has cheered us thro’ the darksome night! How will our ears drink in His well-known voice, Whose faintest whispers make our soul rejoice! 3. No strain within, no foes or snares around, No jarring notes shall there discordant sound; All pure without, all pure within the breast; No thorns to wound, no toil to mar our rest. 4. If here on earth the thoughts of Jesus’ love Lift our poor heart this weary world above, If even here the taste of heav’nly springs So cheers the spirit, that the pilgrim sings. 5. What will the sunshine of His glory prove? What the unmingled fullness of His love? What hallelujahs will His presence raise? What, but one loud eternal burst of praise?

Lighten the Darkness

Author: Frances M. Owen, 1842-1883 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3760 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Lighten the darkness of our life's long night Lyrics: 1. Lighten the darkness of our life’s long night, Through which we blindly stumble to the day, Shadows mislead us; Father, send Thy light To set our footsteps in the homeward way. 2. Lighten the darkness of our self conceit, The subtle darkness that we love so well, Which shrouds the path of wisdom from our feet, And lulls our spirits with its baneful spell. 3. Lighten our darkness when we bow the knee To all the gods we ignorantly make And worship, dreaming that we worship Thee, Till clearer light our slumbering souls awake. 4. Lighten our darkness when we fail at last, And in the midnight lay us down to die; We trust to find Thee when the night is past, And daylight breaks across the morning sky.

Savior, Again to Thy Dear Name

Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5901 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Savior, again to Thy dear name we raise Lyrics: 1. Savior, again to Thy dear name we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise; We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease; Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace. 2. Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way; With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day. Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame, That in this house have called upon Thy name. 3. Grant us Thy peace, through this approaching night; Turn Thou for us its darkness into light; From harm and danger keep Thy children free, For dark and light are both alike to Thee. 4. Grant us Thy peace—the peace Thou didst bestow On Thine apostles in Thine hour of woe; The peace Thou broughtest, when at eventide They saw Thy piercèd hands, Thy wounded side. 5. Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life; Peace to Thy church from error and from strife; Peace to our land, the fruit of truth and love; Peace in each heart, Thy Spirit from above. 6. Thy peace in life, the balm of every pain; Thy peace in death, the hope to rise again; Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease, Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace. Ellerton’s original first verses: 1. Father, once more before we part, we raise With one accord our parting hymn of praise: Once more we bless Thee, ere our songs shall cease, Then, lowly kneeling, pray Thee for Thy peace. 2. Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night, Turn Thou for us its darkness into light. From harm and danger, fear and shame kept free, For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

The True Bread

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7011 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: True bread of life, in pitying mercy giv’n Lyrics: 1 True bread of life, in pitying mercy giv’n, Long famished souls to strengthen and to feed; Christ Jesus, Son of God, true bread of Heav’n, Thy flesh is meat, Thy blood is drink indeed. 2 I cannot famish, though this earth should fail, Tho’ life through all its fields should pine and die; Though the sweet verdure should forsake each vale, And every stream of every land run dry. 3 True tree of life! Of Thee I eat and live, Who eateth of Thy fruit shall never die; ’Tis Thine the everlasting health to give, The youth and bloom of immortality. 4 Feeding on Thee, all weakness turns to power, This sickly soul revives, like earth in spring; Strength floweth on, and in each buoyant hour, This being seems all energy, all wing. 5 Jesus, our dying, buried, risen head, Thy Church’s life and Lord, Immanuel! At Thy dear cross we find th’eternal bread, And in Thy empty tomb the living well. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS

Through Death To Life

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8146 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: The star is not extinguished when it sets Lyrics: 1 The star is not extinguished when it sets Upon the dull horizon; it but goes To shine in other skies, then re-appear In ours, as fresh as when it first arose. 2 The river is not lost, when, o’er the rock, It pours its flood into th’abyss below: Its scattered force re-gathering from the shock, It hastens onward, with yet fuller flow. 3 The bright sun dies not, when the shadowing orb Of the eclipsing moon obscures its ray: It still is shining on; and soon to us Will burst undimmed into the joy of day. 4 The lily dies not, when both flower and leaf Fade, and are strewed upon the chill sad ground: Gone down for shelter to its mother-earth, ’Twill rise, re-bloom, and shed its fragrance round. 5 The dewdrop dies not, when it leaves the flower, And passes upward on the beam of morn: It does but hide itself in light on high, To its loved flower at twilight to return. 6 The fine gold has not perished, when the flame Seizes upon it with consuming glow: In freshened splendor it comes forth anew, To sparkle on the monarch’s throne or brow. 7 Thus nothing dies, or only dies to live: Star, stream, sun, flower, the dew-drop, and the gold, Each goodly thing, instinct with buoyant hope, Hastes to put on its purer, finer mould. 8 Thus in the quiet joy of kindly trust, We bid each parting saint a brief farewell: Weeping, yet smiling, we commit their dust To the safe keeping of the silent cell. 9 Softly within that peaceful resting place, We lay their wearied limbs; and bid the clay Press lightly on them, till the night be past, And the far east give note of coming day. 10 The day of re-appearing! how it speeds! He who is true and faithful speaks the word. Then shall we ever be with those we love, Then shall we be for ever with the Lord. 11 The shout is heard; th’archangel’s voice goes forth; The trumpet sounds; the dead awake and sing; The living put on glory; one glad band, They hasten up to meet their coming king. 12 Short death and darkness! Endless life and light! Short dimming; endless shining in yon sphere, Where all is incorruptible and pure; The joy without the pain, the smile without the tear. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS

The Change

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9557 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: I love yon pale blue sky; it is the floor Lyrics: 1 I love yon pale blue sky; it is the floor Of that glad home where I shall shortly be; A home from which I shall go out no more; From toil and grief and vanity set free. 2 I gaze upon yon everlasting arch, Up which the bright stars wander, as they shine; And as I mark them in their nightly march, I think how soon that journey shall be mine! 3 Yon silver drift of silent cloud, far up In the still heav’n—through you my pathway lies: Yon rugged mountain peak—how soon your top Shall I behold beneath me, as I rise! 4 Not many more of life’s slow pacing hours, Shaded with sorrow’s melancholy hue— Oh, what a glad ascending shall be ours, Oh, what a pathway up yon starry blue! 5 A journey like Elijah’s, swift and bright, Caught gently upward to an early crown, In Heaven’s own chariot of all-blazing light, With death untasted and the grave unknown.

He Gave Himself

Author: Georgiana M. Taylor Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10081 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: He "gave Himself for me"; oh, blessed word! Lyrics: 1 He "gave Himself for me"; oh, blessed word! Oh, gift that has my deepest longings stirred To yield myself to Him; henceforth to be Entirely His who gave Himself for me! 2 His life for me!—spent in this world of sin, That He to God poor outcast souls might win; His life for me!—laid down in matchless love, Now occupied for me in Heaven above. 3 His mind for me! His wisdom formed the plan Whereby release was brought to guilty man. His will for me!—not slow to carry out That plan whereby He frees from sin and doubt. 4 His heart for me! Its life-blood freely shed To save the sinner—suffering in his stead; And still His heart for me, to feel my grief, To bear my burden, and to give relief. 5 His voice for me! He speaks that I may know The One who pities—yea, who loves me so. His hands for me!—once pierced by cruel nail, Now raised in prayer, lest my weak faith should fail. 6 His feet for me!—that this world weary trod, Now coming soon to take me home to God. His eye, His ear, His riches, all for me— And all my own for all eternity! Languages: English Tune Title: ELLERS
