I Want a Principle Within

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 232 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I want a principle within of watchful, godly fear, A sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near. I want the first approach to feel of pride or wrong desire, To catch the wandering of my will, and quench the kindling fire. 2. From Thee that I no more may stray, no more Thy goodness grieve, Grant me the filial awe, I pray, the tender conscience give. Quick as the apple of an eye, O God, my conscience make; Awake my soul when sin is nigh, and keep it still awake. 3. Almighty God of truth and love, to me Thy power impart; The mountain from my soul remove, the hardness from my heart. O may the least omission pain my reawakened soul, And drive me to that blood again, which makes the wounded whole. Used With Tune: GERALD Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1749

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who by a star didst guide The wise men on their way, Until it came and stood beside The place where Jesus lay; Although by stars Thou dost not lead Thy servants now below, Thy Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go. 2 As yet we know Thee but in part; But still we trust Thy Word, That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord. O Saviour, give us, then, Thy grace To make us pure in heart; That we may see Thee face to face Hereafter, as Thou art. Amen. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD

Thy Word Is Like A Garden, Lord

Author: Edwin Hodder Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 164 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy Word is like a garden, Lord, With flowers bright and fair; And ev'ry one who seeks may pluck A lovely cluster there. Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine; And jewels rich and rare Are hidden in its mighty depths For ev'ry searcher there. 2 Thy Word is like a starry host: A thousand rays of light Are seen to guide the traveler, And make his pathway bright. Thy Word is like an armory, Where soldiers may repair; And find, for life's long battleday All needful weapons there. 3 O may I love Thy precious Word; May I explore the mine, May I its fragrant flowers glean, May light upon me shine! O may I find my armor there! Thy Word my trusty sword. I'll learn to fight with ev'ry foe The battle of the Lord. Amen. Used With Tune: SERAPH

God is Our Refuge and Our Strength

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is our refuge and our strength, Our ever present aid, And, therefore, though the earth remove, We will not be afraid; Though hills amidst the seas be cast, Though foaming waters roar, Yea, though the mighty billows shake The mountains on the shore. 2 A river flows whose streams make glad The city of our God, The holy place wherein the Lord Most High has His abode; Since God is in the midst of her, Unmoved her walls shall stand, For God will be her early help, When trouble is at hand. 3 The nations raged, the kingdoms moved, But when His voice was heard The troubled earth was stilled to peace Before His mighty word. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure.

The LORD's my shepherd, I'll not want

Author: William Whittingham 1524-79 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 627 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The LORD’s my shepherd, I’ll not want. He makes me down to lie in pastures green: he leadeth me the quiet waters by. 2 My soul he doth restore again; and me to walk doth make within the paths of righteousness, ev’n for his own name’s sake. 3 Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, yet will I fear no ill: for thou art with me; and thy rod and staff me comfort still. 4 My table thou hast furnished in presence of my foes; my head with oil anoint thou dost anoint, and my cup overflows. 5 Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me: and in God’s house forever more my dwelling-place shall be.

At Length There Dawns the Glorious Day

Author: Ozora S. Davis, 1866-1931 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At length there dawns the glorious day By prophets long foretold; At length the chorus clearer grows That shepherds heard of old. The day of dawning Brotherhood Breaks on our eager eyes, And human hatreds flee before The radiant eastern skies. 2 For what are sundering strains of blood, Or ancient caste and creed? One claim unites all men in God To serve each human need. Then here together, brother-men, We pledge the Lord anew Our loyal love, our stalwart faith, Our service strong and true. 3 One common faith unites us all, We seek one common goal, One tender comfort broods upon The struggling human soul. To this clear call of Brotherhood Our hearts responsive ring; We join the glorious new crusade Of our great Lord and King. AMEN. Topics: Evangelism/Missions Used With Tune: ST MICHAEL'S
