O God, unseen, yet ever near

Author: E. Osler Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 136 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, unseen yet ever near, Thy presence may we feel; And thus inspired with holy fear, Before Thine altar kneel. 2 Here may Thy faithful people know The blessings of Thy love, The streams that through the desert flow, The manna from above. 3 We come, obedient to Thy word, To feast on heavenly food; Our meat the Body of the Lord, Our drink his precious Blood. 4 Thus may we all Thy word obey, For we, O God, are Thine; And go rejoicing on our way, Renewed with strength divine. Amen. Topics: Holy Communion Used With Tune: BEDFORD

O Help Us Lord, Each Hour of Need

Author: Henry H. Milman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 193 hymnals First Line: O help us, Lord, each hour of need Lyrics: 1. O help us, Lord, each hour of need Thy heavenly succor give; Help us in thought, and word, and deed, Each hour on earth we live. 2. O help us, when our spirits bleed With contrite anguish sore; And when our hearts are cold and dead, O help us, Lord, the more. 3. O help us through the prayer of faith More firmly to believe; For still the more the servant hath, The more shall he receive. 4. If, strangers to Thy fold, we call, Imploring at Thy feet The crumbs that from Thy table fall, ’Tis all we dare entreat. 5. But be it, Lord of mercy, all, So Thou wilt grant but this: The crumbs that from Thy table fall Are light, and life, and bliss. 6. O help us, Jesu, from on high, We know no help but Thee; O help us to so to live and die, As Thine in Heav’n to be.

With Songs and Honors Sounding Loud

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 282 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With songs and honors sounding loud, Address the Lord on high; Over the heav’ns He spreads His cloud, And waters veil the sky. 2. He sends His showers of blessing down To cheer the plains below; He makes the grass the mountains crown, And corn in valleys grow. 3. He gives the grazing ox his meat, He hears the raven’s cry; But man, who tastes His finest wheat, Should raise His honors high. 4. His steady counsels change the face Of the declining year; He bids the sun cut short his race, And wintry days appear. 5. His hoary frost, His fleecy snow, Descend and clothe the ground; The liquid streams forbear to flow, In icy fetters bound. 6. When from the dreadful stores on high He pours the rattling hail, The wretch that dares this God defy Shall find his courage fail. 7. He sends His Word, and melts the snow, The fields no longer mourn; He calls the warmer gales to blow, And bids the spring return. 8. The changing wind, the flying cloud, Obey His mighty Word: With songs and honors sounding loud, Praise ye the sovereign Lord. Used With Tune: BEDFORD Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

The Head that once was crowned with thorns

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 528 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His by sovereign right: The King of kings and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. 3 The joy of all who dwell above, The joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love, And grants His name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name, an everlasting name, Their joy, the joy of heaven. 5 The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,577 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged neath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there have I, as vile as he, Washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.
