Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings

Author: Rev. Robert Seagrave Appears in 807 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings, Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory things Towards heaven, thy native place. Sun and moon and stars decay, Time shall soon this earth remove; Rise my soul and haste away To seats prepared above. 2 Rivers to the ocean run, Nor stay in all their course; Fire ascending seeks the sun; Both speed them to their source: So my soul, derived from God, Pants to view His glorious face, Forward tends to His abode, To rest is His embrace. 3 Fly me riches, fly me cares, Whist I that coast explore; Flattering world, with all thy snares, Solicit me no more. Pilgrims fix not here their home; Strangers tarry but a night; When the last dear morn is come, They'll rise to a joyful light. 4 Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn, Press onward to the prize; Soon our Saviour will return Triumphant in the skies: Yet a season, and you know Happy entrance will be given, All our sorrows left below, And earth exchanged for heaven. Amen.

Rock of Ages, cleft for me

Author: Rev. Augustus M. Toplady; Rev. Thomas Cotterill Appears in 2,923 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Cleanse me from its guilt and power. 2. Not the labors of my hands Can fulfil Thy law's demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and Thou alone. 3. Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless, look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die. 4. While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyelids close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee. Amen.

Round the Lord in glory seated

Author: Bishop Richard Mant Appears in 199 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Round the Lord in glory seated, Cherubim and seraphim Filled His temple, and repeated Each to each the alternate hymn: "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven, earth is with its fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!" 2 Heaven is still with glory ringing, Earth takes up the angels' cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy," singing, "Lord of hosts, the Lord Most High." With His seraph train before Him, With His holy Church below, Thus conspire we to adore Him, Bid we thus our anthem flow: 3 "Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven, Earth is with its fulness stored; Unto Thee be glory given, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord!" Thus Thy glorious Name confessing, We adopt Thine angels' cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy," blessing, Thee, the Lord of hosts Most High. Amen.

Take me O my Father, take me

Author: Rev. Ray Palmer Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take me, O my Father, take me; Take me, save me, through Thy Son; That which Thou wouldst have me, make me, Let Thy will in me be done. Long from Thee my footsteps straying, Thorny proved the way I trod; Weary come I now, and praying, Take me to Thy love, my God. 2 Fruitless years with grief recalling, Humbly I confess my sin; At Thy feet, O Father, falling, To Thy household take me in. Freely now to Thee I proffer This relenting heart of mine; Freely life and soul I offer, Gift unworthy love like Thine. 3 Once the world's Redeemer, dying, Bore our sins upon the tree; On that sacrifice relying, Now I look in hope to Thee: Father, take me; all forgiving, Fold me to Thy loving breast; In Thy love for ever living I must be for ever blest. Amen.

Take my feet and let them be Swift and beautiful for Thee. 3 Take my voice, and let me sing, Always, only for my King. Take my lips, and let them be Filled with messages from Thee. 4 Take my silver and my gold; Not a mite would I withhold. Take my intellect, and use Every power as Thou shalt choose. 5 Take my will, and make it Thine; It shall be no longer mine. Take my heart, it is Thine own; It shall be Thy royal throne. 6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour At Thy feet its treasure-store. Take myself, and I will be Ever, only, all for Thee. Amen.

Our sun is sinking now; Our day is almost o'er; O Sun of Righteousness, do Thou Shine on us evermore. 4. From men below the skies, And all the heavenly host, To God the Father praise arise, The Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Author: Rev. Thomas Kelly Appears in 514 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His, is His by right, The King of kings, and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light: 3 The joy of all who dwell above, The joy of all below To whom He manifests His love And grants His Name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above, Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. 6 The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him; His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme. Amen.

The King of love my Shepherd is

Author: Rev. Sir Henry W. Baker, Bart. Appears in 680 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is, Whose goodness faileth never; I nothing lack if I am His And He is mine for ever. 2 Where streams of living water flow My ransomed soul He leadeth, And, where the verdant pastures grow, With food celestial feedeth. 3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed, But yet in love He sought me, And on His shoulder gently laid, And home, rejoicing, brought me. 4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill With Thee, dear Lord, beside me; Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy cross before to guide me. 5 Thou spread'st a table in my sight; Thy unction grace bestoweth; And O what transport of delight From Thy pure chalice floweth. 6 And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never: Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise Within Thy house for ever. Amen.

The morning light is breaking

Author: Rev. Samuel F. Smith Appears in 1,172 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The morning light is breaking, The darkness disappears; The sons of earth are waking To penitential tears; Each breeze that sweeps the ocean Brings tidings from afar Of nations in commotion, Prepared for Zion's war. 2 See heathen nations bending Before the God we love, And thousand hearts ascending In gratitude above; While sinners, now confessing, The glory call obey, And seek the Saviour's blessing, A nation in a day. 3 Blest river of salvation, Pursue thy onward way; Flow thou to every nation, Nor in thy richness stay: Stay not till all the lowly Triumphant reach their home: Stay not till all the holy Proclaim, "The Lord is come!" Amen.
