Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews

Author: Carl Bernhard Garve; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thy Word, O Lord, like gentle dews, Falls soft on hearts that pine; Lord, to Thy garden ne’er refuse This heavenly balm of Thine. Watered by Thee, let every tree Forth blossom to Thy praise, By grace of Thine bear fruit divine, Through all the coming days. 2 Thy Word is like a flaming sword, A wedge that cleaveth stone; Keen as a fire, so burns Thy Word, And pierceth flesh and bone. Let it go forth o’er all the earth To cleanse our hearts within, To show Thy power in Satan’s hour, And break the might of sin. 3 Thy Word, a wondrous guiding star, On pilgrim hearts doth rise, Leads those to God who dwell afar, And makes the simple wise. Let not its light e’er sink in night; In every spirit shine, That none may miss heaven’s final bliss, Led by Thy light divine. Amen. Topics: The Word Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD

Come, let us join our friends above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 346 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above, That have obtained the prize, And on the eagle wings of love To joy celestial rise. 2 Let all the saints terrestrial sing, With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King, In earth and heaven, are one. 3 One family, we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 4 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of His host has crossed the flood, And part is crossing now. 5 E'en now by faith we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the blood-besprinkled bands On the eternal shore. 6 Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide, And when the word is given, Bid the cold waves of death divide, And land us all in heaven. Amen. Used With Tune: LANCASTER

Come, ye thankful people, come

God our Maker doth provide For our wants to be supplied; Come, to God's own temple, come, Raise the song of harvest-home. 2 All the world is God's own field, Fruit unto His praise to yield; Wheat and tares together sown, Unto joy or sorrow grown; First the blade and then the ear, Then the full corn shall appear; Lord of harvest, grant that we Wholesome grain and pure may be. 3 For the Lord our God shall come And shall take His harvest home; From His field shall in that day All offences purge away; Give His angels charge at last In the fire the tares to cast; But the fruitful ears to store In His garner evermore. 4 Even so, Lord, quickly come, To Thy final harvest-home; Gather Thou Thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin, There for ever purified, In Thy garner to abide; Come with all Thine angels, come, Raise the glorious harvest-home!

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: Frances E. Cox; Heinrich Theobald Schenk Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing, These, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark, they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 3 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 4 These, as priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place, Blest they stand before His face. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

A few more years shall roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 382 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Asleep within the tomb. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 2 A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time; And we shall be where suns are not,-- A far serener clime. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that blest day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood And take my sins away. 3 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that calm day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 4 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that bright day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 5 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, Who lives That we with Him may reign. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons New Year Used With Tune: CHALVEY

There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Appears in 700 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Outside a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. 2 We may not know, we cannot tell What pains He had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 3 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by His precious Blood. 4 There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 5 O dearly, dearly has He loved, And we must love Him too, And trust in His redeeming Blood, And try His works to do. Amen. Topics: Hymns for Children Used With Tune: HORSLEY
