O Blest The House, Whate'er Befall

Author: Catherine Winkworth; C. C. von Pheil Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O blest the house, whate'er befall, Where Jesus Christ is All in all; Yea, if He were not dwelling there, How poor and dark and void it were! 2 O blest the house where faith ye find, And all within have set their mind To trust their God and serve Him still, And do in all His holy will. 3 O blest the parents who give heed To their dear children's foremost need, And weary not of care or cost: To them and heav'n shall none be lost. 4 Blest such a house, it prospers well; In peace and joy the parents dwell. And in their children's lot is shown How richly God can bless His own. 5 Then here will I and mine today A solemn covenant make and say: Though all the world forsake Thy Word, I and my house will serve the Lord.

On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry

Author: Chandler; C. Coffin Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's banks the Baptist's cry Announces that the Lord is nigh; Awake, and hearken, for he brings Glad tidings of the King of kings. 2 Then cleansed be every Christian breast, And furnished for so great a guest; Yea, let us each our hearts prepare For Christ to come and enter there. 3 For Thou art our salvation, Lord, Our refuge and our great reward; Without Thy grace we waste away, Like flowers that wither and decay. 4 To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand, And bid the fallen sinner stand; Once more upon Thy people shine, And fill the world with love divine. 5 All praise, eternal Son, to Thee, Whose Advent set Thy people free; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen. Topics: Preparation for Christ Used With Tune: CANTIONALE DE GOTHA
