Lord, May The Spirit Of This Feast

Author: Lydia H. Sigourney Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: Lord, may the spirit of this feast— Lyrics: 1 Lord, may the spirit of this feast— The earnest of Thy love— Maintain a dwelling in our breast, Until we meet above. 2 The healing sense of pardoned sin, The hope that never tires, The strength a pilgrim’s race to win, The joy that Heav’n inspires. 3 Still may their light our duties trace In lines of hallowed flame, Like that upon the prophet’s face, When from the mount he came. 4 But if no more with kindred dear The broken bread we share, Nor at the banquet board appear To breathe the grateful prayer: 5 Forget us not—when on the bed Of dire disease we waste, Or to the chambers of the dead, And bar of judgment haste. 6 Forget not—Thou who bore the woe Of Calvary’s fatal tree— Those who within these courts below Have thus remembered The Used With Tune: ST.

Thou art more bright, more high: What are bright stars, and brighter saints, To Thy bright majesty? 2 Thou'rt far above the songs of heaven, Sung by the holy ones; And dost Thou stoop and bow Thine ear To a poor sinner's groans? 3 My precious Saviour's guiltless Blood First washed away my sin, And Thy Eternal Spirit was My Advocate within. 4 It could not be that Thou should'st hear A mortal, sinful worm; But that my prayers presented are In a most glorious form. 5 Thou heard'st my prayer for Jesus' sake, Whom Thou dost hear always: Lord, hear through that prevailing Name My voice of joy and praise.

Come, Happy Souls, Approach Your God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, happy souls, approach your God With new melodious songs; Come, render to Almighty grace The tribute of your tongues. 2 So strange, so boundless was the love That pitied dying men, The Father sent His equal Son To give them life again. 3 Thy hands, dear Jesus, were not armed With a revenging rod. No hard commission to perform The vengeance of a God. 4 But all was mercy, all was mild, And wrath forsook the throne, When Christ on the kind errand came, And brought salvation down. 5 Here, sinners, you may heal your wounds, And wipe your sorrows dry: Trust in the mighty Savior’s name, And you shall never die.

Author: Ellen M. Sewell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Savior! when Thy loving hand Has brought us o’er the sea, Through perils many, safe to land— The land we longed to see. 2. Oh, help us, for Thy help we need Each moment more and more In perils that we scarcely heed, More deadly, on the shore. 3. Lord, save us! and the Christian name Oh, help us pure to keep, On sea or land, alike the same, Till we in death shall sleep. 4. Then through Thy merits, washed and clean From sin’s polluting stain, In raiment white may we be seen With all Thy saints to reign. Used With Tune: ST.

There Is a Land of Pure Delight

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,406 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Eternal day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never with'ring flow'rs: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heav'nly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger, shivering on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore. Amen. Topics: Last Things Heaven Used With Tune: ST. PETER
