Lord of the Sabbath, hear our vows

Author: Dr. Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Appears in 182 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the Sabbath hear our vows, On this Thy day, in this Thy house; And own, as grateful sacrifice, The songs which from Thy servants rise. 2 Thine earthly Sabbaths, Lord, we love, But there's a nobler rest above; To that our labouring souls aspire, With ardent hope, and strong desire. 3 No more fatigue, no more distress Nor sin nor hell shall reach the place; No sighs shall mingle with the songs Which warble from immortal tongues. 4 No rude alarms of raging foes; No cares to break the long repose; No midnight shade, no clouded sun, But sacred, high, eternal noon. 5 O long-expected day, begin! Dawn on these realms of woe and sin; Fain would we leave this weary road, And sleep in death, to rest with God.

Upon the Gospel's Sacred Page

Author: John Bowring, 1792-1872 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 107 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Upon the Gospel’s sacred page The gathered beams of ages shine; And, as it hastens, every age But makes its brightness more divine. 2. On mightier wing, in loftier flight, From year to year does knowledge soar; And, as it soars, the Gospel light Becomes effulgent more and more. 3. More glorious still, as centuries roll, New regions blest, new powers unfurled, Expanding with the expanding soul, Its radiance shall o’er flow the world. 4. Flow to restore, but not destroy, As when the cloudless lamp of day Pours out its floods of light and joy, And sweeps the lingering mists away. Used With Tune: HOLBORN HILL

There is one way, and only one

Author: C. F. Alexander Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is one way, and only one, Out of our gloom, and sin, and care, To that fair land where shines no sun Because the face of God is there. 2 There is one truth, the truth of God, That Christ came down from heaven to show, One life that His redeeming blood Has won for all His saints below. 3 The lore, from Philip once concealed, To us is fully known in Christ; In Him the Father is revealed, And all our longing is sufficed. 4 And still unwavering faith holds sure The words that James wrote sternly down; Except we labour and endure, We cannot win the heavenly crown. 5 O Way divine, through gloom and strife, Bring us Thy Father's face to see; O heavenly Truth, O precious Life, At last, at last, to rest in Thee. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Philip and St. James; Other Feasts and Fasts St. Philip and St. James Used With Tune: PENITENCE
