On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand

Author: Edward Mote Appears in 1,101 hymnals First Line: My hope is built on nothing less Lyrics: 1 My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus' name. Refrain: On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand. 2 When darkness seems to vail his face, I rest on his unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the vail. [Refrain] 3 His promise, covenant, and blood, Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

While Many Cry, In Nature's Night

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: While many cry, in Nature’s night Lyrics: 1 While many cry, in Nature’s night, Ah! who will show the way to bliss? Lord, lift on us Thy saving light; We seek no other guide than this. 2 Gladness Thy sacred presence brings, More than the joyful reaper knows; Or he who treads the grapes, and sings, While with new wine his vat o’erflows. 3 In peace I lay me down to sleep; Thine arm, O Lord, shall stay my head, Thine angel spread his tent, and keep His midnight watch around my bed.

O Love of God

Author: Rev. H. Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 112 hymnals First Line: O love of God, how strong and true! Lyrics: 1 O love of God, how strong and true! Eternal, and yet ever new; Uncomprehended and unbought, Beyond all knowledge and all thought. 2 O heav'nly love, how precious still, In days of weariness and ill, In nights of pain and helplessness, To heal, to comfort, and to bless! 3 O wide-embracing, wondrous love! We read thee in the sky above, We read thee in the earth below, In seas that swell, and streams that flow. 4 We read thee best in Him who came To bear for us the cross of shame; Sent by the Father from on high, Our life to live, our death to die. 5 We read thy pow'r to bless and save, E'en in the darkness of the grave; Still more in resurrection light We read the fullness of thy might. 6 O love of God, our shield and stay Thro' all the perils of our way! Eternal love, in thee we rest, For ever safe, forever blest. Topics: God Love Used With Tune: LOUVAN

He sits upon th’eternal hills, With grace and pardon in His hands; And sends His cov’nant with the seals, To bless the distant darkened lands. [originally …the distant British lands] 3. Repent, and be baptized, He saith, For the remission of your sins: And thus our sense assists our faith, And shows us what His Gospel means. 4. Our souls He washes in His blood, As water makes the body clean; And the good Spirit from our God Descends like purifying rain. 5. Thus we engage ourselves to Thee, And seal our cov’nant with the Lord; O may the great eternal Three In Heav’n our solemn vows record!
