Christian Hymns

Christian Worship The Cloud And Pillar Of Fire. Long as the darkening cloud abode,So long did ancient Israel rest;Nor moved they, till the guiding LordIn brighter garments stood confest. Father of spirits, Light of light,Lift up the cloud, and rend the veil;Shine forth in fire, amid that night,Whose blackness makes the heart to fail. ‘T […]

Christian Worship O That My Ways Were Directed To Keep Thy Statutes. O that the Lord would guide my waysTo keep his statutes still!O that my God would grant me graceTo know and do his will! O send thy Spirit down to writeThy law upon my heart!Nor let my tongue indulge deceit,Nor act the liar’s […]

Christian Worship The Blessing Of The Sabbath. Blest day of God! most calm, most bright,The first and best of days;The laborer’s rest, the saint’s delight,The day of prayer and praise. My Saviour’s face made thee to shine;His rising thee did raise;And made thee heavenly and divineBeyond all other days. The first fruits oft a blessing […]

Christian Worship The Prodigal’s Return. The long-lost son, with streaming eyes,From folly just awake,Reviews his wanderings with surprise;His heart begins to break. I starve, he cries, nor can I bearThe famine in this land,While servants of my Father shareThe bounty of his hand. With deep repentance I’ll returnAnd seek my Father’s face;Unworthy to be called […]

Christian Worship The Value Of The Scriptures. How precious is the book divine,By inspiration given!Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine,To lead our souls to heaven.

When feeble reason, tired and blind,Sinks helpless and afraid,This blest supporter of the mindAffords a powerful […]

Christian Worship When On Her Maker’s Bosom When on her Maker’s bosomThe new-born earth was laid,And nature’s opening blossomIts fairest bloom displayed;When all with fruits and flowers,The laughing soil was dressed,And Eden’s fragrant bowersReceived their human guest,- No sin his face defiling,The heir of nature stood,And God, benignly smiling,Beheld that all was good.Yet in that […]

Christian Worship O, May Our Sympathizing Breasts O, may our sympathizing breastsThe generous pleasure know,Kindly to share in others’ joy,And weep for others’ woe! Where’er the helpless sons of griefIn low distress are laid,Soft be our hearts their pains to feel,And swift our hands to aid. O, be the law of love fulfilledIn every act […]

Christian Worship Fear Not. Ye trembling souls, dismiss your fears;Be mercy all your theme;For mercy like a river flows,In one perpetual stream. Fear not the powers of earth and hell;God will those powers restrain;His arm will all their rage repel,And make their efforts vain. Fear not the want of outward good;For his he will provide,Grant […]

Christian Worship Joined In A Union Firm And Strong Joined in a union firm and strong,No foe our ranks can break;To victory we press along,And glorious warfare make.Our fervent prayers shall still prevailAgainst a host of sins;And angels every Christian hailWhose love a conquest wins. Then let our ranks, more closely joined,With shield and buckler […]
