Jesus calls us o'er the tumult
Author: Anon. Appears in 934 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls me o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea;
Day by day his sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, "Christian, follow me!"
2 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store;
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, "Christian, love me more!"
3 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love me more than these!"
4 Jesus calls us! by thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear thy call;
Give our hearts to thy obedience,
Serve and love thee best of all! Topics: The Christian Godly Life Used With Tune: TALMAR

Our strength may also be.

Holy and reverend is the name
Author: John Needham Appears in 217 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Holy and reverend is the name
Of our eternal King;
Thrice holy Lord! the angels cry;
Thrice holy! let us sing.
2 The deepest reverence of the mind,
Pay, O my soul! to God;
Lift with thy hands a holy heart
To his sublime abode.
3 With sacred awe pronounce his name
Whom words nor thoughts can reach;
A broken heart shall please him more
Than the best forms of speech.
4 Thou holy God, preserve our souls
From all pollution free;
The pure in heart are thy delight,
And they thy face shall see.
5 Till then thy service shall be ours,
Thy praise our constant theme;
We'll worship thee with all our powers,
Whose mercy doth redeem. Topics: Worship Praise and Reverence of God Used With Tune: HARVEY'S CHANT

How charming is the place
Author: Samuel Stennett Appears in 292 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How charming is the place
Where my Redeemer, God,
Unvails the beauty of his face,
And sheds his love abroad!
2 Not earth's fair palaces,
To which the great resort,
Are once to be compared with this,
Where Jesus holds his court.
3 Give me, O Lord, a place
Within thy blest abode,
Among the children of thy grace,
The servants of my God. Topics: Worship Opening Hymns Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS
How charming is the place
How happy every child of grace
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 381 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace,
Who knows his sins forgiven!
This earth, he cries, is not my place,
I seek my place in heaven;
2 A country far from mortal sight,
Yet, O, by faith I see
The land of rest, the saint's delight,
The heaven prepared for me.
3 O what a blessed hope is ours!
While here on earth we stay
We more than taste the heavenly powers,
And antedate that day.
4 We feel the resurrection near,
Our life in Christ concealed,
And with his glorious presence here
Our earthen vessels filled.
5 On him with rapture I shall gaze,
Who bought the bliss for me,
And shout and wonder at his grace
Through all eternity. Topics: The Christian Faith, Hope, and Charity Used With Tune: NORTHFIELD

How shall the young secure their hearts
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 478 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall the young secure their hearts
And guard their lives from sin?
Thy word the choicest rules imparts
To keep the conscience clean.
2 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light,
That guides me all the day;
And through the dangers of the night,
A lamp to lead my way.
3 Thy precepts make me truly wise;
I hate the sinner's road;
I hate my own vain thoughts that rise,
But love thy law, my God.
4 Thy word is everlasting truth;
How pure is every page!
That holy book shall guide my youth,
And well support my age. Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Used With Tune: MAITLAND
How shall the young secure their hearts
How sweet the hour of closing day
Author: William Bathurst Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet the hour of closing day,
When all is peaceful and serene,
And the broad sun's retiring ray
Sheds mellow luster o'er the scene!
2 Such is the Christian's parting hour;
So peacefully he sinks to rest
When faith, endued from Heaven with power,
Sustains and cheers his languid breast.
3 Mark but that radiance of his eye,
That smile upon his wasted cheek;
They tell us of his hope on high
In language that no tongue can speak.
4 Who would not wish to die like those
Whom God's own Spirit deigns to bless?
To sink into that soft repose,
Then wake to perfect happiness? Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: WOODWORTH
How sweet the hour of closing day
Jerusalem, the glorious
Author: John M. Neale Appears in 72 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the glorious,
The glory of the elect,
O dear and future vision
That eager hearts expect!
E'en now by faith I see thee,
E'en here thy walls discern;
To thee my thoughts are kindled,
And strive and pant and yearn.
2 Jerusalem the golden,
Thou hope of saints below,
In thee is all my glory,
In me is all my woe;
Jerusalem! exulting
On that securest shore,
I hope thee, wish thee, sing thee,
And love thee evermore.
3 O sweet and blessed country!
Shall I e'er see thy face?
O sweet and blessed country!
Shall I e'er win thy grace?
Exult, O dust and ashes!
The Lord shall be thy part;
His only, his forever,
Thou shalt be and thou art. Topics: Reward of Saints; Reward of Saints; Reward of Saints Used With Tune: EWING
Jerusalem, the glorious
Jesus, and shall it ever be
Author: Joseph Grigg Appears in 1,279 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, and shall it ever be,
A mortal man ashamed of thee?
Ashamed of thee, whom angels praise,
Whose glories shine through endless days?
2 Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far
Let evening blush to own a star;
He sheds the beams of light divine
O'er this benighted soul of mine.
3 Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon
Let midnight be ashamed of noon;
'Twas midnight with my soul till he,
Bright Morning Star, bade darkness flee.
4 Ashamed of Jesus! that dear Friend
On whom my hopes of heaven depend!
No; when I blush, be this my shame
That I no more revere his name.
5 Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may
When I've no guilt to wash away;
No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
No fears to quell, no soul to save.
6 Till then,--nor is my boasting vain,--
Till then I boast a Saviour slain;
And O, may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me! Topics: Worship Adoration of Christ Used With Tune: FEDERAL STREET
Jesus, and shall it ever be
How precious is the book divine
Author: John Fawcett Appears in 640 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How precious is the book divine
By inspiration given!
Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,
To guide our souls to heaven.
2 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts
In this dark value of tears,
And life and light and joy imparts,
To banish all our fears.
3 This lamp, through all the tedious night
Of life, shall guide our way,
Till we behold the clearer light
Of an eternal day. Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Used With Tune: DENFIELD
