Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 317 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Here, O my Lord, I see Thee face to face; Here would I touch and handle things unseen; Here grasp with firmer hand th'eternal grace, And all my weariness upon Thee lean. 2 Here would I feed upon the bread of God; Here drink with Thee the royal wine of Heaven; Here would I lay aside each earthly load, Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven. 3 This is the hour of banquet and of song, This is the heavenly table spread for me: Here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong The brief bright hour of fellowship with Thee. 4 I have no help but Thine; nor do I need Another arm save Thine to lean upon; It is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; My strength is in Thy might, Thy might alone. 5 Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness; Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing Blood; Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace; Thy Blood, Thy Righteousness, O Lord, my God. Amen. Topics: The Holy Communion Used With Tune: OLD 124TH

Come, let us join our friends above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 347 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

Lord, it belongs not to my care

Author: Richard Baxter Appears in 259 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, it belongs not to my care Whether I die or live; To love and serve Thee is my share, And this Thy grace must give. 2 If life be long, I will be glad That I may long obey; If short, yet why should I be sad To soar to endless day? 3 Christ leads me through no darker rooms Than He went through before; He that into God's kingdom comes Must enter by this door. 4 Come, Lord, when grace has made me meet Thy blessèd face to see; For if Thy work on earth be sweet, What will Thy glory be? 5 Then I shall end my sad complaints And weary sinful days, And join with the triumphant saints Who sing my Saviour's praise. 6 My knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim; But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL

All things bright and beautiful

[Refrain] 3 The rich man in his castle, The poor man at his gate, God made them, high or lowly, And ordered their estate. [Refrain] 4 The purple-headed mountain, The river running by, The sunset, and the morning That brightens up the sky: [Refrain] 5 The cold wind in the winter, The pleasant summer sun, The ripe fruits in the garden, He made them every one. [Refrain] 6 The tall trees in the greenwood, The meadows where we play, The rushes by the water We gather every day. [Refrain] 7 He gave us eyes to see them, And lips that we might tell How great is God Almighty, Who has made all things well. [Refrain] Amen.

Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians

Author: Catherine Winkworth Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, ye Christians, With all your hearts, this morn! O hear the blessed tidings, "The Lord, the Christ, is born," Now brought us by the angels That stand about God's throne; O lovely are the voices That make such tidings known! 2 O hearken to their singing! This Child shall be your Friend; The Father so hath willed it, That thus your woes should end. The Son is freely given, That in Him ye may have The Father's grace and blessing, And know He loves to save. 3 Nor deem the form too lowly That clothes Him at this hour; For know ye what it hideth? 'Tis God's almighty power. Though now within the manger So poor and weak He lies; He is the Lord of all things, He reigns above the skies. 4 Sin, death, and hell, and Satan Have lost the victory; This Child shall overthrow them, As ye shall surely see. Their wrath shall naught avail them; Fear not, their reign is o'er; This Child shall overthrow them,-- O hear and doubt no more. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Christmas Used With Tune: ST.

There is a green hill far away

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Appears in 701 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

Lord of the living harvest

Be with them, God the Son! And God the Holy Spirit! Most blessèd Three in One! Make them a holy priesthood, Thee humbly to adore, And fill them with Thy fulness, Both now and evermore. Amen.
