Lamb of God, I look to Thee

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #441 (1893) Lyrics: 1 LAMB of God, I look to Thee; Thou shalt my Example be; Thou art gentle, meek, and mild, Thou wast once a little child. 2 Fain I would be as Thou art; Give me Thy obedient heart. Thou art pitiful and kind: Let me have Thy loving mind. 3 Loving Jesus, gentle Lamb, In Thy gracious hands I am. Make me, Saviour, what Thou art, Live Thyself within my heart. 4 I shall then show forth Thy praise, Serve Thee all my happy days: Then the world shall always see Christ, the holy Child, in me.

Swell the anthem, raise the song

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #442 (1893) Lyrics: 1 SWELL the anthem, raise the song, Praises to our God belong; Saints and angels join to sing Praises to the heavenly King. Blessings from His liberal hand Flow around this happy land: Kept by Him, no foes annoy; Peace and freedom we enjoy. 2 Here, beneath a virtuous sway May we cheerfully obey; Never feel oppression's rod, Ever own and worship God. Hark! the voice of nature sings Praises to the King of kings; let us join the choral song, And the grateful notes prolong. Topics: Praise Independance Day Languages: English

Praise to God, immortal praise

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #445 (1893) Lyrics: 1 PRAISE to God, immortal praise, For the love that crowns our days! Bounteous Source of every joy, Let Thy praise our tongues employ, For the blessings of the field, For the stores the gardens yield; For the fruits in full supply, Ripened 'neath the summer sky; 2 All that spring with bounteous hand Scatters o'er the smiling land; All that liberal autumn pours From her rich, o'erflowing stores; These to Thee, my God, we owe, Source whence all our blessings flow; And for these my soul shall raise Grateful vows and solemn praise.

What our Father does is well

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #446 (1893) Lyrics: 1 WHAT our Father does is well: Blessèd truth His children tell! Though He send, for plenty, want, Though the harvest-store be scant, Yet we rest upon His love, Seeking better things above. 2 What our Father does is well: Shall the willful heart rebel If a blessing He withhold In the field, or in the fold? Is He not Himself to be All our Store eternally? 3 What our Father does is well: Though He sadden hill and dell, Upward yet our praises rise For the strength His Word supplies. He has called us sons of God;-- Can we murmur at His rod? 4 What our Father does is well: May the thought within us dwell; Though nor milk nor honey flow, In our barren Canaan now, God can save us in our need, God can bless us, God can feed. 5 Therefore unto Him we raise Hymns of glory, songs of praise; To the Father and the Son And the Spirit, Three in One, Honor might, and glory be, Now and through eternity.

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #447 (1893) Meter: 11.10 Lyrics: 1 COME, ye disconsolate, where’er ye languish, Come to the mercy seat, fervently kneel, Here bring your wounded hearts, here tell your anguish; Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. 2 Joy of the comfortless, light of the straying, Hope of the penitent, fadeless and pure; Here speaks the Comforter, tenderly saying-- Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot cure. 3 Here see the Bread of life; see waters flowing Forth from the throne of God, pure from above; Come to the feast of love: come ever knowing Earth hath no sorrow but heaven can remove.

Why do we mourn departing friends

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #449 (1893) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 WHY do we mourn departing friends, Or shake at death’s alarms? ’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. 2 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow, To keep us from our love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay, And scattered all the gloom. 4 The graves of all the saints He blessed, And softened every bed; Where should the dying members rest, But with the dying Head? 5 Thence He arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way; Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound, And bid our kindred rise, Awake! ye nations under ground, Ye saints! ascend the skies!
