O Jesus, Thou art standing
Author: Bishop William Walsham How Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 684 hymnals Topics: The Life in Christ Answering Christ's Call; Christ Call, Answering Christ's; Christ Friend, The; Christ Love of; Christ Standing at the Door Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, Thou art standing
Outside the fast-closed door,
In lowly patience waiting
To pass the threshold o'er:
Shame on us, Christian brothers,
His Name and sign who bear,
O shame, thrice shame upon us,
To keep Him standing there!
2 O Jesus, Thou art knocking;
And lo, that hand is scarred,
And thorns Thy brow encircle,
And tears Thy face have marred:
O love that passeth knowledge,
So patiently to wait!
O sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate!
3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading
In accents meek and low,
"I died for you, My children,
And will ye treat Me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
We open now the door;
Dear Saviour, enter, enter,
And leave us nevermore!
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. EDITH

Author: Miss Kate Hankey Appears in 1,280 hymnals Topics: Christ Winning Souls; Christ Winning Souls; Christ Winning Souls; Christ Winning Souls; Christ Winning Souls First Line: I love to tell the story Lyrics: 1 I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above;
Of Jesus and his glory,
Of Jesus and his love;
I love to tell the story,
Because I know 'tis true,
It satisfies my longing
As nothing else can do.
Chorus:
I love to tell the story;
'Twill be my theme in glory
To tell the old, old story
Of Jesus and his love.
2 I love to tell the story;
More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies
Of all our golden dreams;
I love to tell the story,
It did so much for me,
And that is just the reason
I tell it now to thee. [Chorus]
3 I love to tell the story;
'Tis pleasant to repeat
What seems each time I tell it,
More wonderfully sweet;
I love to tell the story,
For some have never heard
The message of salvation
From God's own holy word. [Chorus]
4 I love to tell the story;
For those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting
To hear it like the rest;
And when in scenes of glory
I sing the new, new song,
'Twill be the old, old story
That I have loved so long. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [I love to tell the story]

We Have an Anchor

Owens Appears in 172 hymnals Topics: Christ Voyagers; Christ Voyagers; Christ Voyagers; Christ Voyagers; Christ Voyagers First Line: Will your anchor hold in the storm of life Refrain First Line: We have an anchor that keeps the soul Lyrics: 1 Will your anchor hold in the storm of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
Refrain:
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll;
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Saviour's love.
2 If 'tis safely moor'd, 'twill the storm withstand,
For 'tis well secured by the Saviour's hand;
And the cables, pass'd from his heart to thine,
Can defy the blast, thro' strength divine. [Refrain]
3 It will firmly hold in the straits of Fear,
When the breakers tell that the reef is near,
Tho' the tempest rave and the wild winds blow,
Not an angry wave shall our bark o'erflow. [Refrain]
4 It will surely hold in the floods of death,
When the waters cold chill our latest breath,
On the rising tide it can never fail,
While our hopes abide within the veil. [Refrain]
5 When our eyes behold, in the dawning light,
Shining gates of pearl, our harbor bright,
We shall anchor fast to the heav'nly shore,
With the storms all past forevermore. [Refrain}
Used With Tune: [Will your anchor hold in the storm of life]

Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
3 So long Thy pow'r hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on,
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
Amen. Used With Tune: [Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom]

Psalm 5
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 666 hymnals Topics: Christ Mediator; Christ Priest First Line: Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear Lyrics: 1 Lord! in the morning thou shalt hear
My voice ascending high;
To thee will I direct my prayer,
To thee lift up mine eye:
2 Up to the hills, where Christ has gone
To plead for all his saints,
Presenting at his Father's throne,
Our songs and our complaints.
3 Thou art a God, before whose sight,
The wicked shall not stand;
Sinners shall ne'er be thy delight,
Nor dwell at thy right hand.
4 But to thy house will I resort,
To taste thy mercies there;
I will frequent thy holy court,
And worship in thy fear.
5 Oh, may thy Spirit guide my feet,
In ways of righteousness;
Make every path of duty straight,
And plain before my face. Used With Tune: WARWICK

That manifests the Saviour's power.

Waiting the summons from on high.

From which none ever wakes to weep. Used With Tune: ANGELUS
