O Prophet Souls of All the Years
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840-1929 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O prophet souls of all the years,
speak yet to us in love;
your far-off vision, toil, and tears
to their fulfillment move.
2 From tropic clime and zones of frost
they come of every name;
this, this our day of Pentecost,
on us the tongues of flame.
3 One Life together we confess,
one all-in-dwelling Word,
one holy Call to righteousness
within the silence heard:
4 One Law that guides the shining spheres
as on through space they roll,
and speaks in flaming characters
on Sinais of the soul:
5 One Love, unfathomed, measureless,
an ever-flowing sea,
that holds within its vast embrace
time and eternity. Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Pentecost; Prophets Used With Tune: BANGOR
O Prophet Souls of All the Years
Devoting All to God
Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall Lyrics: 1. Blest Lord, my wand'ring heart recall,
From bondage set me loose;
I would not wish to live at all
Unless I live for you.
2. To you, wheree'er I pitch my tent,
I would an altar raise,
And with a humble frame present
The sacrifice of praise.
3. To you devote my health and strength,
While health and strength shall last,
For future mercies humbly trust,
Nor e'er forget the past.
4. Lord, guide me through the wilderness,
To Canaan's fertile land;
Through Jordan's stream fearlessly pass,
If you but give command. Topics: Ordinary Time Week 21; Feast of Tabernacles Scripture: Leviticus 23:42-43 Used With Tune: BANGOR

How David, When by Sin Deceived
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How David, when by sin deceived,
From bad to worse went on!
For when the Holy Spirit’s grieved,
Our strength and guard are gone.
2. His eye on Bathsheba once fixed,
With poison filled his soul;
He ventured on adultery next,
And murder crowned the whole.
3. So from a spark of fire at first,
That has not been descried;
A dreadful flame has often burst,
And ravaged far and wide.
4. When sin deceives it hardens too,
For though he vainly fought
To hide his crimes from public view,
Of God he little thought.
5. He neither would, or could repent,
No true compunction felt;
’Till God in mercy Nathan sent,
His stubborn heart to melt.
6. The parable held forth a fact,
Designed his case to show;
But though the picture was exact,
Himself he did not know.
7. Thou art the man, the prophet said,
That word his slumber broke;
And when he owned his sin, and prayed,
The Lord forgiveness spoke.
8. Let those who think they stand, beware,
For David stood before;
Nor let the fallen soul despair,
For mercy can restore. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 29

See, Gracious God, Before Thy Throne
Author: Anne Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God, before Thy throne
Thy mourning people bend!
’Tis on Thy sovereign grace alone,
Our humble hopes depend.
2 Tremendous judgments from Thy hand,
Thy dreadful power display:
Yet mercy spares this guilty land,
And yet we live to pray.
3 Great God, and why this nation spare,
Ungrateful as we are?
O be these awful warnings heard,
While mercy cries, Forebear.
4 What numerous crimes increasing rise,
Where Satan shows his smile?
What land so favored of the skies,
And yet what land so vile?
5 How changed, alas! are truths divine,
For error, guilt and shame!
What impious numbers, bold in sin,
Disgrace the Christian name!
6 O bid us turn, almighty Lord,
By Thy resistless grace;
Then shall our hearts obey Thy word,
And humble seek Thy face.
7 Then should insulting foes invade,
We shall not sink in fear;
Secure of never failing aid,
If God, our God, is near. Used With Tune: BANGOR Text Sources: Poems on Subjects Chiefly Devotional, 1760, alt.
