These things shall be: a loftier race

Author: John Addington Symonds (1840-1893) Hymnal: The Hymnal #423a (1950) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 These things shall be: a loftier race Than e'er the world hath known, shall rise With flame of freedom in their souls And light of knowledge in their eyes. 2 They shall be gentle, brave, and strong, To spill no drop of blood, but dare All that may plant man's lordship firm On earth, and fire, and sea, and air. 3 Nation with nation, land with land, Unarmed shall live as comrades free; In every heart and brain shall throb The pulse of one fraternity. 4 New arts shall bloom of loftier mold, And mightier music thrill the skies, And every life shall be a song, When all the earth is paradise.

Easter Flowers

Author: Myra G. Plantz, 1856-1914 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1313 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: No bloom of spring had dared to lift Lyrics: 1. No bloom of spring had dared to lift Its head above the frozen ground, In snow-wrapped forests not a gift For Easter beauty could be found. 2. No gold had I for lilies white To make Christ’s temple sweet and fair, Nor roses whose rich perfume might Rise up in incense with my prayer. 3. And as I sorrowed that my love For my dear Lord could not be shown, I slept and dreamed I bent above The fairest blossoms ever known. 4. It was the garden of the King Where angels gathered all the flowers That were His Easter offering Upon this blessèd earth of ours. 5. Alas, no gift of mine, I cried, Will bloom this year above the skies! Then spoke an angel by my side, “Not in the flower the offering lies. 6. “A holy thought, a lowly prayer Some sad heart cheered and comforted, Will live here as a lily fair When all the earthborn flowers are dead. 7. The sweetest blossoms here were made By deeds of self-forgetful love. Go, give Christ’s needy children aid, And Easter buds will bloom above. Languages: English Tune Title: DEPAUW

God of the Seas!

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1902 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: God of the seas! Thy thundering voice Lyrics: 1. God of the seas! Thy thundering voice Makes all the roaring waves rejoice, And one soft word of Thy command Can sink them silent in the sand. 2. If but a Moses wave Thy rod, The sea divides and owns its God; The stormy floods their Maker knew, And let His chosen armies through. 3. The scaly flocks amidst the sea, To Thee, their Lord, a tribute pay; The meanest fish that swims the flood Leaps up, and means a praise to God. 4. The larger monsters of the deep On Thy commands attendance keep; By Thy permission sport and play, And cleave along their foaming way. 5. If God His voice of tempest rears, Leviathan lies still and fears; Anon he lifts his nostrils high, And spouts the ocean to the sky. 6. How is Thy glorious power adored Amidst these watery nations, Lord! Yet the bold men that trace the seas, Bold men, refuse their Maker’s praise! 7. What scenes of miracles they see, And never tune a song to Thee! While on the flood they safely ride, They curse the hand that smoothes the tide! 8. Anon they plunge in watery graves, And some drink death among the waves; Yet the surviving crew blaspheme, Nor own the God that rescued them. 9. O for some signal of Thine hand! Shake all the seas, Lord, shake the land; Great Judge! descend, lest men deny That there’s a God that rules the sky. Languages: English Tune Title: DEPAUW

Great God of Abraham!

Author: Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2022 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Great God of Abraham! hear our prayer Lyrics: 1. Great God of Abraham! hear our prayer Let Abraham’s seed Thy mercy share; O may they now at length return, And look on Him they pierced, and mourn. 2. Remember Jacob’s flock of old; Bring home the wanderers to Thy fold; Remember too Thy promised word, Israel at last shall seek the Lord. 3. Though outcasts still, estranged from Thee, Cut off from their own olive tree; Why should they longer such remain? For Thou canst graft them in again. 4. Lord, put Thy law within their hearts, And write it in their inward parts; The veil of darkness rend in two, Which hides Messiah from their view. 5. Oh! haste the day, foretold so long, When Jew and Greek, a glorious throng, One house shall seek, one prayer shall pour, And one Redeemer shall adore! Languages: English Tune Title: DEPAUW

Lord, I Am Thine

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3781 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Lord, I am Thine; but Thou wilt prove Lyrics: 1. Lord, I am Thine; but Thou wilt prove My faith, my patience, and my love: When men of spite against me join, They are the sword, the hand is Thine. 2. Their hope and portion lies below: ’Tis all the happiness they know, ’Tis all they seek; they take their shares, And leave the rest among their heirs. 3. What sinners value I resign; Lord, ’tis enough that Thou art mine: I shall behold Thy blissful face, And stand complete in righteousness. 4. This life’s a dream, an empty show; But the bright world to which I go Hath joys substantial and sincere: When shall I wake and find me there? 5. O glorious hour! O bless’d abode! I shall be near and like my God! And flesh and sin no more control The sacred pleasures of the soul. 6. My flesh shall slumber in the ground Till the last trumpet’s joyful sound; Then burst the chains in sweet surprise, And in my Savior’s image rise. Languages: English Tune Title: DEPAUW

O, Father, Thou Who Givest All

O, Father, Thou who givest all The bounty of Thy perfect love, We thank Thee that upon us fall Such tender blessings from above. 2. For eyes to see and ears to hear, For hands to serve and arms to lift, For shoulders broad and strong to bear, For feet to run on errands swift. 3. For faith to conquer doubt and fear, For love to answer every call, For strength to do, and will to dare, We thank Thee, O Thou Lord of all. Languages: English Tune Title: DEPAUW

My Lord, Didst Thou Endure Such Smart?

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8023 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: My Lord, didst Thou endure such smart Lyrics: 1 My Lord, didst Thou endure such smart, My life, when forfeited, to save? And didst Thou bear upon Thy heart My name, when rising from the grave? 2 Am I in Thy remembrance still, Midst all the glories of Thy throne? To form Thy servant to Thy will, And fix my dwelling near Thy own? 3 What can a feeble worm repay For love so infinite as Thine? The torrent bears my soul away, The impetuous stream of grace divine. 4 To Thee, my Lord, it bears me on, Self shall be deified no more; By self betrayed, by self undone, I live by Thy recovering power. 5 Accept a soul so dearly bought; Bought by Thy life upon the tree; A soul which by Thy Spirit taught, Knows no delight but serving Thee.

Where Should I Be, If God Should Say

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8726 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Where should I be, if God should say, I must not live another day; And send and take away my breath; What is eternity and death? 2 My body is of little worth, ’Twould soon be mingled with the earth; For we were made of clay, and must Again, at death, return to dust. 3 But where my living soul would go I do not, and I cannot know; For none were e’er sent back to tell The joys of Heaven, or pains of hell. 4 Yet, Heav’n must be a world of bliss Where God Himself for ever is: Where saints around His throne adore, And never sin or suffer more. 5 And hell’s a state of endless woe, Where unrelenting sinners go; Though none that seek the Savior’s grace Shall ever see that dreadful place. 6 O! let me then at once apply To Him who did for sinners die; And this shall be my great reward— To dwell for ever with the Lord.

Thou Art, O God! A Spirit Pure

Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9507 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thou art, O God! a Spirit pure, Invisible to mortal eyes; Th’immortal, and th’eternal King, The great, the good, the only wise. 2 Whilst nature changes, and her works Corrupt, decay, dissolve and die, Thy essence pure no change shall see, Secure of immortality. 3 Thou great invisible! what hand Can draw Thy image spotless fair? To what in Heaven, to what on earth Can men th’immortal King compare? 4 Let stupid heathens frame their gods Of gold and silver, wood and stone; Ours is the God that made the heavens, Jehovah He, and God alone. 5 My soul, Thy purest homage pay, In truth and spirit Him adore; More shall this please than sacrifice, Than outward forms delight Him more.
