O ye immortal throng

Author: Rev. Philip Doddridge Appears in 60 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O ye immortal throng Of angels round the throne, Join with our feeble song To make the Savior known: On earth ye knew His wondrous grace, His glorious face In heaven ye view. 2. Ye saw the heaven-born child In human flesh arrayed, Benevolent and mild While in the manger laid: And "Praise to God And peace on earth," For such a birth Proclaimed aloud. 3. Around the bloody tree Ye pressed with strong desire That wondrous sight to see, The Lord of life expire: And could your eyes Have known a tear, Had dropped it there In sad surprise. 4. Around His sacred tomb A willing watch ye keep Till the blest moment come To rouse Him from His sleep: Then rolled the stone, And all adored Your rising Lord With joy unknown. 5. When, all arrayed in Light, The shining Conqueror rode, Ye hailed His rapturous flight Up to the throne of God. And waved around Your golden wings, And struck your strings Of sweetest sound. 6. The warbling notes pursue, And louder anthems raise; While mortals sing with you Their own Redeemer's praise: And thou, my heart, With equal flame, And joy the same Perform thy part. Amen.

O Lord, be with us when we sail

Author: Rev. Edward A. Dayman Appears in 58 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, be with us when we sail Upon the lonely deep, Our Guard, when on the silent deck The midnight watch we keep. 2 We need not fear, though all around 'Mid rising winds we hear The multitude of waters surge; For Thou, O God, art near. 3 The calm, the breeze, the gale, the storm, That pass from land to land, All, all are Thine, are held within The hollow of Thy hand. 4 If duty calls from threatened strife To guard our native shore, And shot and shell are answering The booming cannon's roar. 5 Be Thou the Mainquard of our host, Till war and dangers cease; Defend the right, put up the sword, And through the world make peace. 6 Across this troubled tide of life Thyself our Pilot be, Until we reach that better land, The land that knows no sea. 7 To Thee the Father, Thee the Son, Whom earth and sky adore, And Spirit moving on the deep, Be praise for evermore. Amen.

On wings of living light

Author: Bishop William W. How Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On wings of living light, At earliest dawn of day, Came down the angel bright, And rolled the stone away. Your voices raise With one accord To bless and praise Your risen Lord. 2 The keepers watching near, At that dread sight and sound, Fell down with sudden fear Like dead men to the ground. Your voices raise With one accord To bless and praise Your risen Lord. 3 Then rose from death's dark gloom, Unseen by mortal eye, Triumphant o'er the tomb, The Lord of earth and sky. Your voices raise With one accord To bless and praise Your risen Lord. 4 Ye children of the light, Arise with Him, arise; See, how the Day-star bright Is burning in the skies! Your voices raise With one accord To bless and praise Your risen Lord. 5 Leave in the grave beneath The old things passed away: Buried with Him in death, O live with Him to-day. Your voices raise With one accord To bless and praise Your risen Lord. 6 We sing Thee, Lord Divine, With all our hearts and powers: For we are ever Thine, And Thou art ever ours. Your voices raise With one accord To bless and praise Your risen Lord. Amen.

Tarry with me, O my Savior

Author: Caroline L. Smith Appears in 238 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tarry with me, O my Saviour, For the day is passing by; See! the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh. 2 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, Paler now the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances; Shall it be the night of rest? 3 Lonely seems the vale of shadow; Sinks my heart with troubled fear; Give me faith for clearer vision, Speak Thou, Lord, in words of cheer. 4 Let me hear Thy voice behind me, Calming all these wild alarms; Let me, underneath my weakness, Feel the everlasting arms. 5 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on Thee; Tarry with me through the darkness; While I sleep, still watch by me. 6 Tarry with me, O my Saviour, Lay my head upon Thy breast Till the morning; then awake me-- Morning of eternal rest. Amen. Text Sources: Plymouth Coll., 1855 and Songs of the Church, 1863, (recast in)

Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above

Author: Katherine Hankey Appears in 512 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tell me the old, old story Of unseen things above, Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love: Tell me the story simply, As to a little child, For I am weak and weary, And helpless and defiled. Refrain: Tell me the old, old story, Tell me the old, old story, Tell me the old, old story, Of Jesus and His love. Of Jesus and His love. 2 Tell me the story slowly, That I may take it in, That wonderful redemption, God's remedy for sin: Tell me the story often, For I forget so soon; The early dew of morning Has passed away at noon. [Refrain] 3 Tell me the story softly, With earnest tones and grave; Remember, I'm the sinner Whom Jesus came to save: Tell me the story always, If you would really be, In any time of trouble, A comforter to me. [Refrain] 4 Tell me the same old story, When you have cause to fear That this world's empty glory Is costing me too dear: Yes, and when that world's glory Is dawning on my soul, Tell me the old, old story, "Christ Jesus makes thee whole." [Refrain] Amen.

When the dark waves round us roll

Author: Bishop William W. How Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the dark waves round us roll, And we look in vain for aid, Speak, Lord, to the trembling soul, "It is I; be not afraid." 2 When we dimly trace Thy form In mysterious clouds arrayed, Be the echo of the storm, "It is I; be not afraid." 3 When our brightest hopes depart, When our fairest visions fade, Whisper to the fainting heart, "It is I; be not afraid." 4 When we weep beside the bier Where some well-loved form is laid, O may then the mourner hear, "It is I; be not afraid." 5 When with wearing hopeless pain Sinks the spirit, sore dismayed, Breathe Thou then the comfort-strain, "It is I; be not afraid." 6 When we feel the end is near, Passing into death's dark shade, May the voice be strong and clear, "It is I; be not afraid." Amen.

Still by constant mercy fed, Give me, Lord, my daily bread. 2 "Day by day" the promise reads; Daily strength for daily needs: Cast foreboding fears away, Take the manna of to-day. 3 Lord, my times are in Thy hand; All my sanguine hopes have planned To Thy wisdom I resign, And would make Thy purpose mine. 4 Thou my daily task shalt give; Day by day to Thee I live; So shall added years fulfil, Not my own, my Father's will. Amen.
