How charming is the place

Author: Rev. Samuel Stennett Appears in 292 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How charming is the place Where my Redeemer God Unveils the beauties of His face And sheds His love abroad. 2 Not the fair palaces To which the great resort, Are once to be compared with this, Where Jesus holds His court. 3 Here, on the mercy-seat, With radiant glory crowned, Our joyful eyes behold Him sit And smile on all around. 4 To Him their prayers and cries Each humble soul presents: He listens to their broken sighs And grants them all their wants. 5 To them His sovereign will He graciously imparts; And in return accepts, with smiles, The tribute of their hearts. 6 Give me, O Lord, a place Within Thy blest abode, Among the children of Thy grace, The servants of my God. Amen.

How gentle God's commands

Author: Rev. Philip Doddridge Appears in 665 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How gentle God's commands, How kind His precepts are! Come, cast your burdens on the Lord, And trust His constant care. 2 While Providence supports, Let saints securely dwell; That hand, which bears all nature up, Shall guide His children well. 3 Why should this anxious load Press down your weary mind? Haste to your heavenly Father's throne, And sweet refreshment find. 4 His goodness stands approved, Down to the present day; I'll drop my burden at His feet, And bear a song away. Amen.

How oft, alas! this wretched heart

Author: Anne Steele Appears in 316 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How oft, alas! this wretched heart Has wandered from the Lord, How oft my roving thoughts depart, Forgetful of His word. 2 Yet sovereign mercy calls, "Return;" Dear Lord, and may I come? My vile ingratitude I mourn; O take the wanderer home. 3 And canst Thou, wilt Thou yet forgive, And bid my crimes remove? And shall a pardoned rebel live To speak Thy wondrous love? 4 Almighty grace, thy healing power, How glorious, how Divine! That can to bliss and life restore So vile a heart as mine. 5 Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet, Dear Saviour, I adore; O keep me at Thy sacred feet And let me rove no more. Amen.

How shall I follow Him I serve?

Author: Josiah Conder Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How shall I follow Him I serve? How shall I copy Him I love? Nor from those blessed footsteps swerve, Which lead me to His seat above? 2 Privations, sorrows, bitter scorn, The life of toil, the mean abode, The faithless kiss, the crown of thorn,-- Are these the consecrated road? 3 'Twas thus He suffered, though a Son, Foreknowing, choosing, feeling all, Until the perfect work was done, And drunk the bitter cup of gall. 4 Lord, should my path through suffering lie, Forbid it I should e'er repine; Still let me turn to Calvary, Nor heed my griefs, remembering Thine. 5 O let me think how Thou didst leave Untasted every pure delight, To fast, to faint, to watch, to grieve, The toilsome day, the homeless night:-- 6 To faint, to grieve, to die for me! Thou camest, not Thyself to please; And, dear as earthly comforts be, Shall I not love Thee more than these? 7 Yes, I would count them all but loss, To gain the notice of Thine eye: Flesh shrinks and trembles at the cross, But Thou canst give the victory.

Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us,

Author: James Edmeston Appears in 358 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us O'er the world's tempestuous sea; Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us, For we have no help but Thee; Yet possessing every blessing, If our God our Father be. 2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o'er us; All our weakness Thou dost know; Thou didst tread this earth before us; Thou didst feel its keenest woe; Lone and dreary, faint and weary, Through the desert Thou didst go. 3 Spirit of our God, descending, Fill our hearts with heavenly joy, Love with every passion blending, Pleasure that can never cloy; Thus provided, pardoned, guided, Nothing can our peace destroy. Amen.

Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace

Author: William H. Burleigh Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace; Without Thy guiding hand we go astray, And doubts appal, and sorrows still increase; Lead us through Christ, the true and living Way. 2 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of truth; Unhelped by Thee, in error's maze we grope, While passion stains and folly dims our youth, And age comes on uncheered by faith and hope. 3 Lead us, O Father, in the paths of right; Blindly we stumble when we walk alone, Involved in shadows of a moral night, Only with Thee we journey safely on. 4 Lead us, O Father, to Thy heavenly rest, However rough and steep the path may be; Through joy or sorrow, as Thou deemest best, Until our lives are perfected in Thee. Amen.

No, no, it is not dying

Author: Rev. Robinson P. Dunn; Rev. H. A. César Malan Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1 No, no, it is not dying To go unto our God; This gloomy earth forsaking, Our journey homeward taking Along the starry road. 2 No, no, it is not dying Heaven's citizen to be; A crown immortal wearing, And rest unbroken sharing, From care and conflict free. 3 No, no, it is not dying To hear this gracious word, "Receive a Father's blessing, For evermore possessing The favor of Thy Lord." 4 No, no, it is not dying The Shepherd's voice to know: His sheep He ever leadeth, His peaceful flock He feedeth, Where living pastures grow. 5 No, no it is not dying To wear a lordly crown; Among God's people dwelling, The glorious triumph swelling Of Him whose sway we own. Amen.

Now the day is over

Author: Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould Appears in 956 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over, Night is drawing nigh, Shadows of the evening Steal across the sky. 2 Now the darkness gathers, Stars begin to peep; Birds, and beasts, and flowers Soon will be asleep. 3 Jesus, give the weary Calm and sweet repose; With Thy tenderest blessing May our eyelids close. 4 Grant to little children Visions bright of Thee; Guard the sailors, tossing On the deep blue sea. 5 Comfort every sufferer Watching late in pain; Those who plan some evil From their sins restrain. 6 Through the long night-watches, May Thine angels spread Their white wings above me, Watching round my bed. 7 When the morning wakens, Then may I arise Pure, and fresh, and sinless In Thy holy eyes. 8 Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, And to Thee, blest Spirit, Whilst all ages run. Amen.
