Till our rest is won;
And although the way be cheerless,
We will follow, calm and fearless.
Guide us by your hand
To our fatherland.
2 If the way be drear,
If the foe be near,
Let not faithless fears o'ertake us;
Let not faith and hope forsake us,
For through many a woe
To our home we go.
3 When we seek relief
From a long-felt grief,
When temptations come alluring,
Make us patient and enduring;
Show us that bright shore
Where we weep no more.
4 Jesus, still lead on
Till our rest is won.
Heav'nly Leader, still direct us;
Still support, console, protect us
Till we safely stand
In our fatherland. Topics: Trust; Trust Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM

Author: Germanus, c. 634-734; John M. Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder,
A glorious mystery:
A virgin bears an infant
Who veils his deity.
Refrain:
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory
And peace on earth to men."
2 The Word becomes incarnate
And yet remains on high,
And cherubim sing anthems
To shepherds from the sky. [Refrain]
3 While thus they sing your monarch,
Those bright angelic bands,
Rejoice, O vales and mountains,
And oceans, clap your hands. [Refrain]
4 Since all he comes to ransom,
By all be he adored,
The infant born in Bethl'em,
The Savior and the Lord. [Refrain]
5 All idols then shall perish
And Satan's lying cease,
And Christ shall raise his scepter,
Decreeing endless peace. [Refrain]

He lives to plead for me above.
He lives, my hungry soul to feed;
He lives to help in time of need.

He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint;
He lives to hear my soul's complaint.

He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart;
He lives all blessings to impart.
6 He lives, my kind, wise, heav'nly friend;
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives I'll sing;
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.

He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare;
He lives to bring my safely there.
8 He lives, all glory to his name!
He lives, my Jesus, still the same.

Abide with Me
Author: Henry F. Lyte, 1793-1847 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1,686 hymnals First Line: Abide with me; fast falls the eventide Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the eventide.
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!
2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day;
Earth's joys grow dim; its glories pass away.
Change and decay in all around I see;
O thou who changest not, abide with me!
3 Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in thy wings,
Tears for all woes, a heart for ev'ry plea;
Come, Friend of sinners, thus abide with me.
4 Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me oft as I left thee.
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
5 I need thy presence ev'ry passing hour.
What but thy grace can foil the tempter's pow'r?
Who like thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!
6 I fear no foe with thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness.
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if thou abide with me.
7 Hold thou thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me! Topics: Evening; Evening Used With Tune: EVENTIDE

From Greenland's Icy Mountains
Author: Reginald Heber, 1783-1826 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 1,685 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains,
From India's coral strand,
Where Africa's bright fountains
Roll down their golden sand,
From many an ancient river,
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver
Their land from error's chain.
2 What though the fragrant breezes
Blow soft o'er distant isles,
Though ev'ry vista pleases,
Yet sin the land defiles.
In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in their blindness
Bow down to wood and stone.
3 Can we whose souls are lighted
With wisdom from on high,
Can we to those benighted
The lamp of life deny?
Salvation! Oh, salvation!
The joyful sound proclaim
Till each remotest nation
Has learned Messiah's name. Topics: Missions; Missions Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

Your grace adore, your pow'r confess,
To flee from sin and strife.
One is our calling, one our name,
The end of all our hopes the same:
A glorious crown of life.
3 Spirit of life, of love, and peace,
Unite our hearts, our joy increase,
Your gracious help supply.
To each of us the blessing give
In Christian fellowship to live,
In joyful hope to die. Topics: Commitment; Commitment Used With Tune: MERIBAH

My beauty are, my glorious dress;
Mid flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 Bold shall I stand in that great day--
Who can a word against me say?
Fully through you absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
3 Lord, I believe your precious blood,
Which at the very throne of God
Forever will for sinners plead,
For me -- e'en for my soul -- was shed.
4 Lord, I believe were sinners more
Than sands upon the ocean shore,
You have for all a ransom paid,
For all a full atonement made.
5 When from the dust of death I rise
To claim my mansion in the skies,
E'en then this shall be all my plea:
Jesus has lived and died for me.
6 Jesus, be worshiped endlessly!
Your boundless mercy has for me,
For me and all your hands have made,
An everlasting ransom paid. Topics: Justification; Justification Used With Tune: ST. CRISPIN

And make our hearts your place of rest;
Come with your grace and heav'nly aid,
And fill the hearts which you have made.

To you, the gift of God most high;
The fount of life, the fire of love,
The soul's anointing from above.
3 Your light to ev'ry thought impart,
And shed your love in ev'ry heart;
The weakness of our mortal state
With deathless might invigorate.
4 Drive far away our wily foe,
And your abiding peace bestow;
If you are our protecting guide,
No evil can with us abide.
5 Teach us to know the Father, Son,
And you, from both, as Three in One
That we your name may ever bless
And in our lives the truth confess.
6 Praise we the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit, with them One,
And may the Son on us bestow
The gifts that from the Spirit flow! Topics: Pentecost; Pentecost Used With Tune: KOMM, GOTT SCHÖPFER
