Christian Hymns

Christian Worship The Lord’s Day. How welcome to the soul, when pressedWith six days’ noise, and care, and toil,Is the returning day of rest,Which hides us from the world awhile! How happy they, whose lot is castWhere Christ invites the weary yet;They find their sorrows quickly past,And all their burdens soon forget. Though pinched with […]

Christian Worship From Everlasting To Everlasting, Thou Art God. Our God, our help in ages past,Our hope for years to come,Our shelter from the stormy blast,And our eternal home; Before the hills in order stood,Or earth received her frame,From everlasting thou art God,To endless years the same. A thousand ages, in thy sight,Are like an […]

Christian Worship The Blessing Of Meekness. Happy the meek, whose gentle breast,Clear as the summer’s evening ray,Calm as the regions of the blest,Enjoys on earth celestial day. His heart no broken friendships sting,No storms his peaceful tent invade;He rests beneath th’ Almighty wing,Hostile to none, of none afraid. Spirit of grace, all meek and mild,Inspire […]

Christian Worship The Divine Spirit Implored. Creator Spirit, by whose lightThe sleeping worlds were called from night!Come, visit every pious mind,Come, pour thy joys on human kind;From sin and sorrow set us free,And make us temples worthy thee. Plenteous in grace descend from high,Rich in thy sevenfold energy;Our frailty help, our vice control,Thou ruler of […]

Christian Worship Exhortation To Praise. Stand up and bless the Lord,Ye people of his choice;Stand up, and bless the Lord your God,With heart, and soul and voice. Though high above all praise,Above all blessing high,Who would not fear his holy name,And laud and magnify? O for the living flameFrom his own altar brought,To touch our […]

Christian Worship Prayer For God’s Presence And Blessing. Great King of glory, come,And with thy favor crownThis temple as thy home,This people as thine own:Beneath this roof, O deign to showHow God can dwell with men below. Here may thine ears attendOur interceding cries,And grateful praise ascend,Like incense to the skies:Here may thy word melodious […]

Christian Worship Two Men Went Up Into The Temple To Pray. The uplifted eye, and bended knee,Are but vain homage, Lord, to thee;In vain our lips thy praise prolong,The heart a stranger to the song. The pure, the humble, contrite mind,Sincere, and to thy will resigned,To thee a nobler offering yields,Than Sheba’s groves, or Sharon’s […]

Christian Worship Docility And Trust. Quiet, Lord, my froward heart,Make me teachable and mild;Upright, simple, free from art,Make me as a weanéd child;From distrust and envy free,Pleased with all that pleaseth thee. What thou shalt to-day provide,Let me as a child receive;What to-morrow may betide,Calmly to thy wisdom leave:‘Tis enough that thou wilt care;Why should […]

Christian Worship The Noble Army Of Martyrs. The triumphs of the martyred saintsThe joyous lay demand;The heart delights in song to dwellOn that victorious band-Those whom the senseless world abhorred,Who cast the world aside,Deeming it worthless, for the sakeOf Christ, their Lord and Guide. For him they braved the tyrant’s rage,The scourge’s cruel smart;The wild […]

Christian Worship Weeping Seed-time And Joyful Harvest Psalm 126. The darkened sky, how thick it lowers!Troubled with storms, and big with showers,No cheerful gleam of light appears,And nature pours forth all her tears. But seeds of ecstasy unknownAre in these watered furrows sown:See the green blades, how thick they rise,And with fresh verdure bless our […]
