Sunset and evening star

Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson Appears in 172 hymnals Lyrics: Sunset and evening star, And one clear call for me! And may there be no moaning of the bar When I put out to sea, But such a tide as moving seems asleep, Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell When I embark; For, though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crost the bar. Amen.

Supreme in wisdom as in power

Author: Rev. Isaac Watts Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Supreme in wisdom as in power The Rock of Ages stands; Though Him thou canst not see, nor trace The working of His hands. 2 He gives the conquest to the weak, Supports the fainting heart; And courage in the evil hour His heavenly aids impart. 3 Mere human power shall fast decay, And youthful vigor cease; But they who wait upon the Lord In strength shall still increase. 4 They with unwearied feet shall tread The path of life Divine; With growing ardor onward move, With growing brightness shine. 5 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar, Their wings are faith and love; Till, past the cloudy regions here, They rise to heaven above. Amen. Text Sources: Scottish Trans. and Paraphr. 1745, 1781, alt.

With tearful eyes I look around

Author: Charlotte Elliott Appears in 292 hymnals Lyrics: 1 With tearful eyes I look around; Life seems a dark and stormy sea; Yet, midst the gloom, I hear a sound, A heavenly whisper, "Come to Me." 2 It tells me of a place of rest; It tells me where my soul may flee: O to the weary, faint, oppressed, How sweet the bidding, "Come to Me." 3 When the poor heart with anguish learns That earthly props resigned must be, And from each broken cistern turns, It hears the accents, "Come to Me." 4 When against sin I strive in vain, And cannot from its yoke get free, Sinking beneath the heavy chain, The words arrest me, "Come to Me." 5 When nature shudders, loath to part From all I love, enjoy, and see; When a faint chill steals o'er my heart, A sweet voice utters, "Come to Me. 6 "Come, for all else must fail and die; Earth is no resting-place for thee, Heavenward direct thy weeping eye, I am thy Portion; come to Me." 7 O voice of mercy! voice of love! In conflict, grief, and agony, Support me, cheer me from above, And gently whisper, "Come to Me." Amen.

Christ for the world we sing

Author: Rev. Samuel Wolcott Appears in 412 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring With loving zeal; The poor, and them that mourn, The faint and overborne, Sin-sick and sorrow-worn, Whom Christ doth heal. 2 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring With fervent prayer; The wayward and the lost, By restless passions tossed, Redeemed at countless cost From dark despair. 3 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring With one accord; With us the work to share, With us reproach to dare, With us the cross to bear, For Christ our Lord. 4 Christ for the world we sing; The world to Christ we bring With joyful song; The new-born souls, whose days, Reclaimed from error's ways, Inspired with hope and praise, To Christ belong. Amen.

Christ in his word draws near

Author: Rev. Thomas T. Lynch Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, in His word draws near; Hush, moaning voice of fear, He bids thee cease; With songs sincere and sweet Let us arise, and meet Him who comes forth to greet Our souls with peace. 2 Rising above thy care, Meet Him as in the air, O weary heart: Put on joy's sacred dress; Lo, as He comes to bless, Quite from thy weariness Set free thou art. 3 For works of love and praise He brings thee summer days, Warm days and bright; Winter is past and gone, Now He, salvation's Sun, Shineth on every one, With mercy's light. 4 From the bright sky above, Clad in His robes of love, 'Tis He, our Lord! Dim earth itself grows clear, As His light draweth near: O let us hush and hear His holy word. Amen.

Christ is made the sure Foundation

Author: John M. Neale Appears in 290 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure Foundation, Christ the Head and Cornerstone, Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Binding all the Church in one; Holy Zion's help for ever, And her confidence alone. 2 All that dedicated city, Dearly loved of God on high, In exultant jubilation Pours perpetual melody; God the One in Three adoring In glad hymns eternally. 3 To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day; With Thy wonted loving-kindness, Hear Thy people as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 4 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee, for ever With the blessed to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 5 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever One, One in might, and One in glory, While unending ages run. Amen. Text Sources: Latin, 7th cent.; Hy. Anc. and Mod. 1861, alt.

Christ is our Cornerstone

Author: Rev. John Chandler Appears in 188 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Cornerstone, On Him alone we build: With His true saints alone The courts of heaven are filled; On His great love our hopes we place, Of present grace and joys above. 2 O then with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring; Our voices we will raise The Three in One to sing, And thus proclaim in joyful song, Both loud and long, that glorious Name. 3 Here, gracious God, do Thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh; In copious shower on all who pray, Each holy day, Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore; And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore; Until that day when all the blest To endless rest are called away. Amen. Text Sources: Anon. (Latin, 6th or 7th Century)

Christ, of all my hopes the Ground

Author: Rev. Ralph Wardlaw Appears in 173 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, of all my hopes the Ground, Christ the Spring of all my joy, Still in Thee may I be found, Still for Thee my powers employ. 2 Fountain of o'erflowing grace, Freely from Thy fulness give; Till I close my earthly race, May I prove it "Christ to live." 3 Firmly trusting in Thy blood, Nothing shall my heart confound; Safely I shall pass the flood, Safely reach Emmanuel's ground. 4 When I touch the blessèd shore, Back the closing waves shall roll; Death's dark stream shall nevermore Part from Thee my ravished soul. 5 Thus, O thus, an entrance give To the land of cloudless sky; Having known it "Christ to live," Let me know it "gain to die." Amen.

Another day begun!

Author: Rev. John Ellerton Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Another day begun! Lord, grant us grace that we, Before the setting of the sun, Redeem the time for Thee. 2 Another day of toil! To Thee we yield our powers; Keep Thou our souls from guilty soil Through all the passing hours. 3 Another day of fear! For watchful is our foe, And sin is strong, and death is near, And short our time below. 4 Another day of hope! For Thou art with us still, And Thine almighty strength can cope with all who seek our ill. 5 Another day of grace To help us on our way! One step towards the resting-place, The eternal Sabbath-day. Amen.
