How happy, gracious Lord, are we!

Meter: Irregular Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Christian experience Communion with Christ, and love to him Lyrics: 1 How happy, gracious Lord, are we! Divinely drawn to follow thee: Whose hours divided are, Betwixt the mount and multitude: Our day is spent iin doing good, Our night in praise and pray'r. 2 With us no melancholy void; No moment lingers unemploy'd, Or unimprov'd below: Our weariness of life is gone, Who live to serve our God alone, And only thee to know. 3 The winter's night and summer's day, Glide imperceptibly away, Too short to sing thy praise; Too few we find the happy hours, And haste to join those heav'nly pow'rs, In everlasting lays. 4 With all who chant thy name on high, And holy, holy, holy, cry, A bright harmonious throng! We long thy praises to repeat, And ceaseless sing around thy seat The new eternal song. Scripture: Psalm 1:2

Let saints below in concert sing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing With those to glory gone: For all the servants of our King, In earth, and heaven, are one. 2 One family--we dwell in Him-- One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream-- The narrow stream of death; 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of his host have cross'd the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home Some happy spirits fly; And we are to the margin come, And soon expect to die. 5 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the ransom'd blessed bands Upon th'eternal shore. 6 Lord Jesus! be our constant guide; And when the word is given, Bid death's cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven.

Ever patient, gentle, meek

Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Christians their life and experience Lyrics: 1 Ever patient, gentle, meek, Holy Saviour! was Thy mind; Vainly in myself I seek, Likeness to my Lord to find; Yet, that mind which was in Thee, May be, must be form'd in me. 2 Days of toil, 'mid throngs of men, Vex'd not, ruffled not Thy soul; Still, collected, calm, serene, Thou each feeling couldst control. Lord, that mind which was in Thee, May be, must be form'd in me. 3 Though such griefs were Thine to bear, For each suff'rer Thou couldst feel; Every mourner's burden share, Every wounded spirit heal: Saviour! let thy grace in me Form that mind which was in Thee.
