Days and moments quickly flying

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #401 (1893) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 DAYS and moments quickly flying Blend the living with the dead; Soon shall we who sing be lying, Each within our narrow bed. 2 Soon our souls to God who gave them Will have sped their rapid flight; Able now by grace to save them, Oh, that while we can we might! 3 Jesus, infinite Redeemer, Maker of this mighty frame; Teach, oh, teach us to remember What we are, and whence we came:-- 4 Whence we came, and whither wending; Soon we must through darkness go, To inherit bliss unending, Or eternity of woe. ---- As the tree falls, so it must lie; As the man lives, so will he die; As the man dies, such must he be, All through the days of eternity. Amen. Topics: New Year Languages: English

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #402 (1893) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 BRIGHTEST and best of the sons of the morning Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. 2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall: Angels adore Him, in slumber reclining, Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all! 3 Say shall we yield Him, in costly devotion, Odors of Edom, and offerings divine? Gems of the mountains, and pearls of the ocean, Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine? 4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation, Vainly with gold would His favor secure: Richer, by far, is the heart's adoration; Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor. 5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning! Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid; Star of the East, the horizon adorning, Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Topics: Epiphany Languages: English

Who shall the Lord's elect condemn?

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #403 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 WHO shall the Lord's elect condemn? 'Tis God that justifies their souls; And mercy, like a mighty stream, O'er all their sins divinely rolls. 2 He lives! He lives! and sits above, Forever interceding there: Who shall divide us from His love, Or what should tempt us to despair? 3 Shall persecution, or distress, Famine, or sword, or nakedness? He who hath loved us bears us through, And makes us more than conquerors too. 4 Not all that men on earth can do, Nor powers on high, nor powers below, Shall cause His mercy to remove, Or wean our Hearts from Christ, our Love.

No change of time shall ever shock

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #404 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 NO change of time shall ever shock My firm affection, Lord, to Thee; For Thou hast always been a Rock, A Fortress and Defense to me. 2 Thou my Deliverer art, my God; My trust is in Thy mighty power: Thou art my Shield from foes abroad, At home, my Safeguard and my Tower. 3 To Thee I will address my prayer, To Whom all praise we justly owe; So shall I, by Thy watchful care, Be guarded safe from every foe, Topics: Reformation Languages: English

Look from Thy sphere of endless day

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #405 (1893) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 LOOK from Thy sphere of endless day, O God of mercy and of might! In pity look on those who stray Benighted in this land of light. 2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen, In crowded mart, by stream or see, How many of the sons of men Hear not the message sent from Thee! 3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call The thoughtless young, the hardened old, A scattered, homeless flock, till all Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold. 4 Send them Thy mighty Word to speak, Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart, To awe the bold, to stay the weak, And bind and heal the broken heart. 5 Then all these wastes, a dreary scene, That makes us sadden as we gaze, Shall grow with living waters green, And lift to heaven the voice of praise.

Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise!

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #406 (1893) Lyrics: 1 RISE, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise! Exalt thy towering head, and lift thine eyes; See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy spacious court adorn; See future sons and daughters yet unborn In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in the light and in thy temple bend; See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While every land its joyful tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies in smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed this Word, this saving power remains; Thy realm shall last, thy own Messiah reigns!

Our country's voice is pleading

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #407 (1893) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1 OUR country’s voice is pleading, Ye men of God, arise! His providence is leading, The land before you lies; Day-gleams, are o’er it brightening, And promise clothes the soil; Wide fields, for harvest whitening, Invite the reaper’s toil. 2 Go, where the waves are breaking On California’s shore, Christ’s precious Gospel taking, More rich than golden ore; On Allegheny’s mountains, Through all the western vale, Beside Missouri’s fountains, Rehearse the wondrous tale. 3 The love of Christ unfolding, Speed on from east to west, Till all, this cross beholding, In Him are fully blest. Great Author of salvation, Haste, haste the glorious day When we a ransomed nation, Thy sceptre shall obey. Topics: The Word and the Church Mission Languages: English

Awake, Thou Spirit, who didst fire

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #408 (1893) Lyrics: 1 AWAKE, Thou Spirit, who didst fire The watchmen of the Church’s youth, Who faced the foe’s envenomed ire, Who witnessed day and night Thy truth Whose voices loud are ringing still, And bringing hosts to know Thy will. 2 Lord let our earnest prayer be heard, The prayer Thy Son hath bid us pray, For lo, thy children’s hearts are stirred In every land in this our day, To cry with fervent soul to Thee, O help us, Lord! So let it be! 3 Oh, haste to help, ere we are lost! Send preachers forth, in spirit strong, Armed with Thy Word, a dauntless host, Bold to attack the rule of wrong; Let them the earth for Thee reclaim, Thy heritage, to know Thy name. 4 Would there were help within our walls! O let Thy spirit come again, Before whom every barrier falls, And now once more shine forth as then! O rend the heavens and make us free! Come, Lord, and bring us back to Thee! 5 And let Thy Word have speedy course, Through every land be glorified, Till all the heathen know its force, And fill Thy churches far and wide; Wake Israel from his sleep, O Lord, And spread the conquest of Thy Word! 6 The Church's desert paths restore; Let stumbling-blocks that in them lie Hinder Thy Word henceforth no more: Error destroy, and heresy, And let Thy Church, from hirelings free, Bloom as a garden fair to Thee!

My God, accept my heart this day

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #409 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 MY God, accept my heart this day, And make it always Thine, That I from Thee no more may stray, No more from Thee decline. 2 Before the cross of Him who died, Behold, I prostrate fall; Let every sin be crucified, And Christ be all in all! 3 Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace, Adopt me for Thine own; That I may see Thy glorious face, And worship at Thy throne! 4 May the dear blood, once shed for me, My blest atonement prove, That I from first to last may be The purchase of Thy love! 5 Let every thought, and work, and word, To Thee be ever given: Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heaven!

Lord of life, Shield us through our earthly strife; Thou, the Life, the Truth, the Way, Guide us to the realms of day. 3 Thine forever! O how blest They who find in Thee their rest!
