O, deem not they are blest alone

Author: William Cullen Bryant Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O, deem not they are blest alone Whose lives a peaceful tenor keep; For God, who pities man, hath shown A blessing for the eyes that weep. 2 The light of smiles shall fill again The lids that overflow with tears, And weary hours of woe and pain Are promises of happier years. 3 There is a day of sunny rest For every dark and troubled night, And grief may bide an evening guest, 4 Nor let the good man's trust depart, Though life its common gifts deny; Though with a sad and broken heart, He sees his hopes most cherished die. 5 For God has marked each sorrowing day, And numbered every secret tear, And heaven's long age of bliss shall pay For all his children suffer here.

O Son of Man, Thyself once cross'd

Author: J. F. Thrupp Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of Man, Thyself once cross'd By every suff'ring here below, Who taught'st Thy noble martyr-host To follow in Thy path of woe. 2 O Son of God, Whose glory cast Its light upon Thy champion's face, Revealing to his eyes at last The marvels of the holiest place; 3 Be ours the faith that sees Thee stand Beside the throne of God on high, To succour with Thy strong right hand Thy soldiers when to Thee they cry. 4 Be ours the hope, resigned and meek, That trusts the spirit to Thy care, That longs Thy face in heaven to seek, And dwell with Thee in glory there. 5 Be ours the love, divine and free, Which asks forgiveness for our foes; Which draws, in life, its life from Thee, And, dying, finds in Thee repose.

O risen Christ, who from Thy throne Dost rule Thy Church, and hear Thine own, Now seal by Thine almighty power The covenants of this sacred hour. 2.

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Author: William Cullen Bryant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 174 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray, Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or sea, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty Word to speak Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes,--a dreary scene, That fills with sadness as we gaze,-- Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise. Amen. Topics: The Church Home and Inner Missions Used With Tune: MELCOMBE
