Christian Hymns

Christian Worship Death Of Parents. The God of mercy will indulgeThe flowing tear, the heaving sigh,When honored parents fall around,When friends beloved and kindred die. Yet not one anxious, murmuring thoughtShould with our mourning passions blend;Nor should our bleeding hearts forgetTheir mighty, ever-living Friend. Parent, Protector, Guardian, Guide,Thou art each tender name in one;On thee […]

Christian Worship Call To The House Of Prayer. Come to the house of prayer,O ye afflicted, come:The God of peace shall meet you there-He makes that house his home. Come to the house of praise,Ye who are happy now;In sweet accord your voices raise,In kindred homage bow. Ye aged, hither come,For ye have felt his […]

Christian Worship Light And Darkness. Our Father, when beside the tombWe mourn the unconscious dead below,Thy angels come amid the gloom,With solace for our doubt and woe.And looking through the shades of deathTo that bright land where none can die,How clearly then the eye of faithBeholds the portals of the sky! And they whose lives […]

Christian Worship Returning To God. Lord, we have wandered from thy way,Like foolish sheep have gone astray,Our pleasant pastures we have left,And of their guard our souls bereft. Exposed to want, exposed to harm,Far from our gentle Shepherd’s arm;Nor will these fatal wanderings cease,Till thou reveal the paths of peace. O seek thy thoughtless servants, […]

Christian Worship Ye Shall Know Them By Their Fruits. So let our lips and lives expressThe holy gospel we profess:So let our works and virtues shine,To prove the doctrine all divine. Thus shall we best proclaim abroadThe honors of our Saviour, God,When the salvation reigns within.And grace subdues the power of sin. Our flesh and […]

Christian Worship The Call Of Truth. Oh! not alone with outward sign,Of fear, or voice from heaven,The message of a truth divine,The call of God, is given;Awakening in the human heart,Love for the true and right,Zeal for the Christian’s better part,Strength for the Christian’s fight. Though heralded by nought of fear,Or outward sign or show;Though […]

Christian Worship Clinging To God. O Lord, thy heavenly grace impart,And fix my frail, inconstant heart:Henceforth my chief desire shall beTo dedicate myself to thee. Whate’er pursuits my time employ,One thought shall fill my soul with joy:That silent, secret thought shall be,That all my hopes are fixed on thee. Thy glorious eye pervadeth space;Thy presence, […]

Christian Worship Solomon’s Prayer For Wisdom. Almighty God! in humble prayerTo thee our souls we lift;Do thou our waiting minds prepareFor thy most needful gift. We ask not golden streams of wealthAlong our path to flow;We ask not undecaying health,Nor length of years below. We ask not honors, which an hourMay bring and take away;We […]

Christian Worship Go! Ye Messengers Of God Go! ye messengers of God,Like the beams of morning, fly;Take the wonder-working rod,Wave the Banner-Cross on high!Where th’ lofty minaretGleams along the morning skies,Wave it till the crescent set,And the Star of Jacob rise. Go! to many a tropic isle,In the bosom of the deep;Where the skies forever […]

Christian Worship The Soul’s Beauty Unfading. Sweet day! so cool, so calm, so bright,Bridal of earth and sky,The dew shall weep thy fall to-night,For thou, alas! must die. Sweet rose! in air whose odors wave,And color charms the eye,Thy root is ever in its grave,And thou, alas! must die. Sweet spring! of days and roses […]
