Christian Hymns

Christian Worship Jesus Preaching The Gospel. How sweetly flowed the gospel’s soundFrom lips of gentleness and grace,When listening thousands gathered round,And joy and reverence filled the place! From heaven he came-of heaven he spokeTo heaven he led his followers’ way;Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke,Unveiling an immortal day. Come, wanderers, to my Father’s home,Come, […]

Christian Worship Active Benevolence. In the morning sow thy seed,Nor at eve withhold thy hand;Who can tell which may succeed,Or if both alike shall stand,And a glorious harvest bear,To reward the sower’s care? Sow it ‘mid the haunts of vice-Scenes of infamy and crime;Suddenly, may ParadiseBurst, as in the northern climeSpring, with all its verdant […]

Christian Worship Encouraging Prospects. Yes, we trust the day is breaking;Joyful times are near at hand;God, the mighty God, is speaking,By his word, in every land:When he chooses,Darkness flies at his command. While the foe becomes more daring,While he enters like a flood,God, the Saviour, is preparingMeans to spread his truth abroad:Every languageSoon shall tell […]

Christian Worship Christ In Gethsemane. ‘T is midnight; and on Olive’s browThe star is dimmed that lately shone;‘T is midnight; in the garden, now,The suffering Saviour prays alone. ‘T is midnight; and from all removed,The Saviour wrestles lone, with fears;E’en that disciple whom he lovedHeeds not his Master’s grief and tears. ‘T is midnight; and […]

Christian Worship The Humble And Pure Accepted. Thus saith the high and lofty One:I sit upon my holy throne;My name is God, I dwell on high,Dwell in my own eternity. But I descend to worlds below;On earth I have a mansion too;The humble spirit, and contrite,Is an abode of my delight. The humble soul my […]

Christian Worship Family Affection From Religious Principles. How pleasing, Lord! to see,How pure is the delight,When mutual love, and love to thee,A family unite! From these celestial springsSuch streams of comfort flow,As no increase of riches brings,Nor honors can bestow. No bliss can equal theirs,Where such affections meet;While mingled praise and mingled prayersMake their communion […]

Christian Worship Behold, Where, In A Mortal Form Behold, where, in a mortal form,Appears each grace divine;The virtues, all in Jesus met,With mildest radiance shine. To spread the rays of heavenly light,To give the mourner joy,To preach glad tidings to the poor,Was his divine employ. ‘Midst keen reproach and cruel scorn,Patient and meek he stood;His […]

Christian Worship The Christian’s Life And His Hope. A soldier’s course, from battles wonTo new-commencing strife;A pilgrim’s, restless as the sun-Behold the Christian’s life! O! let us seek our heavenly home,Revealed in sacred lore;The land whence pilgrims never roam,Where soldiers war no more; Where grief shall never wound, nor death,Beneath the Saviour’s reign;Nor sin, with […]

Christian Worship A Blessing Sought. Great Shepherd of thy people, hear;Thy presence now display;We kneel within thy house of prayer;O, give us hearts to pray. The clouds which veil thee from our sight,In pity, Lord, remove;Dispose our minds to hear arightThe message of thy love. Help us, with holy fear and joy,To kneel before thy […]

Christian Worship Universal Reign Of Christ. Great God, whose universal swayThe known and unknown worlds obey;Now give the kingdom to thy Son;Extend his power, exalt his throne. The heathen lands, that lie beneathThe shades of overspreading death,Revive at his first dawning light,And deserts blossom at the sight. The saints shall flourish in his days,Dressed in […]
