Author: Theodore Parker Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 113 hymnals First Line: O Thou great friend to all the sons of men Lyrics: 1. O Thou great friend to all the sons of men, Who once appeared in humblest guise below, Sin to rebuke, to break the captive’s chain, To call the brethren forth from want and woe. 2. Thee would I sing: Thy truth is still the light Which guides the nations groping on their way, Stumbling and falling in disastrous night, Yet hoping ever for the perfect day. 3. Yes, Thou art still the life; Thou art the way The holiest know—light, life and way of Heav’n; And they who dearest hope and deepest pray Toil by the truth, life, way that Thou hast giv’n.

Thou Life within my life, than self more near

Author: Eliza Scudder Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou life within my life, than self more near, Thou veiled Presence infinitely clear, From all illusive shows of sense I flee, To find my center and my rest in Thee. 2 Below all depths Thy saving mercy lies, Through thickest gloom I see Thy light arise, Above the highest heaven Thou art not found More surely than within this earthly round. 3 Take part with me against those doubts that rise And seek to throne Thee far in distant skies; Take part with me against this self that dares Assume the burden of these sins and cares. 4 How shall I call Thee who art always here? How shall I praise Thee who art still most dear? What may I give Thee save what Thou hast given, And whom but Thee have I in earth or heaven? Amen.

Lord, What a Change Within Us

Author: Richard C. Trench; William P. Merrill Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Lord, what a change within us one short hour Lyrics: 1. Lord, what a change within us one short hour Spent in Thy presence will prevail to make; What heavy burdens from our bosoms take, What parchèd fields refresh as with a shower! 2. We kneel, and all around us seems to lower; We rise, and all, the distant and the near, Stands forth in sunny outline, brave and clear; We kneel, how weak; we rise, how full of power. 3. Why should we ever weak or heartless be, Why are we ever overborne with care, Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer, And joy, and strength, and courage are with Thee?

Friend of the Home

Author: Howell E. Lewis Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 17 hymnals First Line: Friend of the home: as when in Galilee Lyrics: 1. Friend of the home: as when in Galilee The mothers brought their little ones to Thee, So we, dear Lord, would now the children bring, And seek for them the shelter of Thy wing. 2. Thine are they, by Thy love’s eternal claim, Thine we baptize them in the threefold name; Yet not the sign we trust, Lord, but the grace That in Thy fold prepared the lambs a place. 3. Lord, may Thy Church, as with a mother’s care, For Thee the lambs within her bosom bear; And grant, as morning grows to noon, that they Still in her love and holy service stay. 4. Draw through the child the parents nearer Thee, Endue their home with growing sanctity; And gather all, by earthly homes made one, In Heaven, O Christ, when earthly days are done.
