When the Lord recalls the banished

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Samuel Gottlieb Bürde Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the Lord recalls the banished, Frees the captives all at last, Every sorrow will have vanished, Like a dream when night is past; Then shall all our hearts rejoice, And with glad resounding voice We shall praise the Lord who sought us, For the freedom He hath wrought us. 2 Lift Thy hand to aid us, Father, Let the end of exile come, And Thy scattered servants gather ln their longed for, promised home. Steep and weary is the way, Shorten Thou the sultry day, Faithful warriors hast Thou found us? Let Thy peace for aye surround us. 3 In that peace we reap in gladness What was sown in tearful showers; There the fruit of all our sadness Ripens,--there the palm is ours; There our God upon His throne Is our full Reward alone. They who lived, who died unto Him, Sheaves of gladness bring there through Him.

Wherefore Dost Thou Longer Tarry?

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Wherefore dost Thou longer tarry Lyrics: 1 Wherefore dost Thou longer tarry, Blessed of the Lord, afar? Would it were Thy will to enter To my heart, O Thou my Star, Thou my Jesus, Fount of power, Helper in the needful hour! Sharpest wounds my heart is feeling, Touch them, Saviour, with Thy healing! 2 For I shrink beneath the terrors Of the law’s tremendous sway; All my countless crimes and errors Stand before me night and day. Oh the heavy, fearful load Of the righteous wrath of God! Oh the awful voice of thunder Cleaving heart and soul asunder! 3 While the foe my soul is telling, There is grace no more for thee, Thou must make thy endless dwelling In the pains that torture me. Yes, and keener still thy smart, Conscience, in my anguished heart, By thy venomed tooth tormented, Long past sins are sore repented. 4 Would I then, to soothe my sorrow, And my pain awhile forget, From the world a comfort borrow, I but sink the deeper yet, She hath comforts that but grieve, Joys that stinging memories leave, Helpers that my heart are breaking, Friends that do but mock its aching. 5 All the world can give is cheating, Strengthless all, and merely nought; Have I greatness, it is fleeting; Have I riches, are they aught But a heap of glittering earth? Pleasure? Little is it worth When it brings no joy or laughter That thou wilt not rue hereafter. 6 All delight, all consolation Lies in Thee, Lord Jesus Christ, Feed my soul with Thy salvation, O Thou Bread of Life unpriced. Blessed Light, within me glow, Ere my heart breaks in its woe; Oh refresh me and uphold me, Jesu, come, let me behold Thee. 7 Joy, my soul, for He hath heard thee, He will come and enter in; Lo! He turns and draweth toward thee, Let thy welcome-song begin; Oh prepare thee for such guest, Give thee wholly to thy rest, With an opened heart adore Him, Pour thy griefs and fears before Him. 8 Thy misdeeds are thine no longer, He hath cast them in the sea, And the love of God shall conquer All the strength of sin in thee. Christ is victor in the field, Mightiest wrong to Him must yield, He with blessing will exalt thee O’er whate’er would here assault thee. 9 What would seem to hurt or shame thee Shall but work thy good at last, Since the Christ hath deigned to claim thee, And His truth stands ever fast; And if thou can but endure, There is nought so fixed and sure, As that thou shalt hymn His praises In the happy heav’nly places.

Soul Of Mine, To God Awaking

Author: H. Brueckner; Joh. Rist Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Soul of mine, to God awaking, And ye senses, ev'ry one, Come, your quiet haunts forsaking, Tell what God for me has done; He through this entire day Has been with me on my way, To my many wants attending And all dangers from me fending. 2 Praise and thanks to Thee I render, Father Thou of mercies great. Thou hast been my strong Defender, Never shall Thy love abate. Thou hast shielded me from woe, Lent me strength and foiled the foe, So that I, Thy help beholding, Rest secure in Thine enfolding. 3 If from Thee I have departed, I return again to Thee, Knowing Thou art tender-hearted, Since Thy Son atoned for me. I cannot deny my guilt, But for me His blood was spilt, And Thy grace, all sin exceeding, Grants forgiveness at His pleading. 4 Grant that I in peace may slumber, Finding sweet and quiet rest. Let no cares my soul encumber, Keep it by Thy presence blest. Mind and body, child and wife, All my goods and all my life, Friends and foes, alike befriended, Be this night to Thee commended. 5 O immortal God, endue me With the gifts for which I ask. Jesus, lest some ill pursue me, Prosper me in ev'ry task. Holy Spirit, Comfort, Friend, On whose counsel I depend, Hearken to my earnest pleading; Amen, Thou my prayer art heeding.

O my soul, on wings ascending

Author: Johan Olof Wallin, 1779 - 1839; Composite Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O my soul, on wings ascending, On the holy mount seek rest, Let thy fervent praise and prayer Come before thy Maker there, Knowing that, while yet a mortal, Thou art near the Father's portal. 2 While upon this earth abiding, Let us never cease to pray, In the blessèd Lord confiding, As our fathers in their day. Be the voice of children raised To the God our fathers praised; May his blessing, failing never, Rest on all his saints forever. 3 Bless us, Father, and protect us From all harm in all our ways; Patiently, O Lord, direct us Safely through these fleeting days; Let thy face upon us shine, Fill us with thy peace divine; Praise the Father, Son, and Spirit, Praise him, all that life inherit.
