When temptation's darts assail us, When in devious paths we stray, Let thy goodness never fail us, Lead us in thy perfect way. 2 In the hour of pain and anguish, In the hour when death draws near, Suffer not our hearts to languish, Suffer not our souls to fear, And when mortal life is ended, Bid us in thine arms to rest, Till, by angel bands attended, We awake among the blest.

Hail, thou once despised Jesus!

Author: John Bakewell, 1721 - 1819 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 637 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Hail, thou once despised Jesus! Hail, thou Galilean King! Thou didst suffer to release us; Thou didst free salvation bring. Hail, thou agonizing Saviour, Bearer of our sin and shame! By thy merits we find favor; Life is given through thy Name. 2 Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our sins on thee were laid; By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made. All thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of thy Blood; Opened is the gate of heaven; Peace is made 'twixt man and God. A-men. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, There forever to abide; All the heavenly host adore thee Seated at thy Father's side. There for sinners thou art pleading, There thou dost our place prepare, Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 4 Worship, honor, power, and blessing Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits, All your sweetest, noblest lays; Help to sing our Saviour's merits, Help to chant Immanuel's praise. Amen. Used With Tune: SUPPLICATION

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee

Author: Francis Scott Key, 1779 - 1843 Appears in 282 hymnals Topics: The Church Worship - The Close of Service Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I’d praise thee For the bliss thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise; Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love’s devoutest feeling, Him who saw thy guilt-born fear, And, the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. A-men. 3 Lord, this bosom’s ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express; Low before thy footstool kneeling, Deign thy suppliant’s prayer to bless; Let thy grace, my soul’s chief treasure, Love’s pure flame within me raise; And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth thy praise. A-men. Amen. Used With Tune: SANCTUARY

A-men. 3 Jesus! the Name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease, 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life and health and peace. 4 He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His Blood can make the foulest clean, His Blood availed for me. 5 He speaks, and, listening to his voice, New life the dead receive, The mournful broken hearts rejoice, The humble poor believe. 6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, Your loosened tongues employ; Ye blind, behold your Saviour come; And leap, ye lame, for joy. 7 Glory to God, and praise, and love Be ever, ever given By saints below and saints above, The Church in earth and heaven. Amen. Used With Tune: AZMON
