Light of the lonely pilgrim's heart

Author: Edward Denny, 1796-1889 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the lonely pilgrim’s heart, star of the coming day, arise, and with thy morning beams chase all our griefs away. 2 Come, blessèd Lord, bid every shore and answering island sing the praises of thy royal name, and own Thee as their King. 3 Bid the whole earth, responsive now to the bright world above, break forth in rapturous strains of joy in answer to thy love. 4 Jesus, thy fair creation groans the air, the earth, the sea — in unison with all our hearts, And calls aloud for thee. 5 Thine was the cross, with all its fruits of grace and peace divine; be thine the crown of glory now, the palm of victory thine.

Lord, teach us how to pray aright

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, teach us how to pray aright, With reverence and with fear: Though dust and ashes in Thy sight, We may, we must draw near. 2 Burdened with guilt, convinced of sin, In weakness, want, and woe, Fightings without and fears within, Lord, whither shall we go? 3 God of all grace, we come to Thee With broken, contrite hearts; Give, what Thine eye delights to see, Truth in the inward parts. 4 Give deep humility; the sense Of godly sorrow give; A strong desire, with confidence, To hear Thy voice and live: 5 Faith in the only Sacrifice That can for sin atone; To cast our hopes, to fix our eyes On Christ, on Christ alone: 6 Give these, and then Thy will be done. Thus strengthened with all might, We, through Thy Spirit and Thy Son, Shall pray, and pray aright.

O God, Defender of the Poor

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor, have mercy when I pray: you listened to my prayer before– LORD, hear my prayer today. 2 How long will people choose vain things, love empty words and wrong? They scorn to serve the King of kings– O living God, how long? 3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart by grace to be your own: let sinners tremble, search their hearts, and bow before your throne. 4 While many pray that you will bless and bring them all they need, unless they long for holiness, their prayers are vain in deed. 5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive; your face within us shine, for richer is the joy you give than all their grain and wine. 6 And even when I turn to sleep your blessings still increase, for you alone, O LORD, will keep your child in perfect peace.

Maker of earth, to thee alone

Neale, 1818-66 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Maker of earth, to thee alone Perpetual rest belongs; And those bright choirs around thy throne May pour their endless songs. 2 But we--ah, holy now no more! Are doomed to toil and pain; Yet exiles on an alien shore May sing their country’s strain. 3 Father, whose promise binds thee still To heal the suppliant throng, Grant us to mourn the deeds of ill That banish us so long; 4 And, while we mourn, in faith to rest Upon thy love and care, Till thou restore us with the blest The song of heaven to share. 5 O God the Father, God the Son, And God the Holy Ghost, To thee be praise, great Three in One, From thy created host. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Lent Used With Tune: DUNFIRMLINE

O Christ, Thine eyes of light and love

Author: Bp. M. R. Neligan Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Christ, Thine eyes of light and love With Christians always go, Alike on earth's green fields above And in the caves below. 2 Thou with the miner in the dark Dost down the shaft descend; Thou, while he plies his venturous work, Art with him as his Friend. 3 No midnight gloom shuts out Thy face, No silence stills Thy voice; Our Jesus in the dreariest place Makes faithful souls rejoice. 4 Then hear us, Lord, and always bless Our brethren's toil and ours; From danger shield us, and distress, From sin and Satan's powers. 5 Add strength and skill to venturous limbs; Our homes with plenty cheer; And bid our hearts sing gladsome hymns For joy that thou art near. 6 Then by Thy cross and sovereign grace Exalt us, Lord, at last, To wake and see Thy unveiled face, Where darkness all is past.

How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 159 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats of everlasting day? 2 Lo, these are they from suff'rings great, who came to realms of light, and in the blood of Christ have wash'd those robes that shine so bright. 3 Now, with triumphal palms they stand before the throne on high, and serve the God they love, amidst the glories of the sky. 4 His presence fills each heart with joy, tunes ev'ry mouth to sing: by day, by night, the sacred courts with glad hosannas ring. 5 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, nor sun with scorching ray: God is their sun, whose cheering beams diffuse eternal day. 6 The Lamb, who dwells amidst the throne shall o'er them still preside, feed them with nourishment divine, and all their footsteps guide. 7 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock, where living streams appear; and God the Lord from every eye shall wipe off ev'ry tear.
