Christian Hymns

Christian Worship The Image Of The Invisible God. Thou, Lord! by mortal eyes unseen,And by thine offspring here unknown,To manifest thyself to men,Hast set thine image in thy Son. Though Jews, who granted not his claim,Contemptuous turned away their face,Yet those who trusted in his nameBeheld in him thy truth and grace. O thou! at […]

Christian Worship The Closing Year. And now, my soul, another yearOf my short life is past:I cannot long continue here;And this may be my last. Part of my doubtful life is gone,Nor will return again;And swift my fleeting moments run-The few which yet remain! Awake, my soul! with all thy careThy true condition learn;What are […]

Christian Worship Praising God In Life And In Death. God of my life! through all its daysMy grateful powers shall sound thy praise;The song shall wake with opening light,And warble to the silent night. When anxious cares would break my rest,And griefs would tear my throbbing breast,Thy tuneful praises, raised on high,Shall check the murmur […]

Christian Worship All Men Are Equal. All men are equal in their birth,Heirs of the earth and skies;All men are equal when that earthFades from their dying eyes. God meets the throngs who pay their vowsIn courts that hands have made,And hears the worshipper who bowsBeneath the plantain shade. ‘Tis man alone who difference sees,And […]

Christian Worship God Our Shepherd. The Lord my pasture shall prepare,And feed me with a shepherd’s care;His presence shall my wants supply,And guard me with a watchful eye;My noonday walks he shall attend,And all my midnight hours defend. When in the sultry glebe I faint,Or on the thirsty mountains pant,To fertile vales and dewy meadsMy […]

Here let thy holy days be kept;And be this place to worship given,Like that bright spot where Jacob slept,The house of God, the gate […]

Christian Worship Reflections For A New Year. Remark, my soul, the narrow boundsOf the revolving year;How swift the weeks complete their rounds!How short the months appear! Yet like an idle tale we passThe swift advancing year;And study artful ways t’ increaseThe speed of its career. Waken, O God, my trifling heart,Its great concerns to see;That […]

Christian Worship Before Communion. Prepare us, Lord, to view thy cross,Who all our griefs hast borne;To look on thee, whom we have pierced,-To look on thee, and mourn. While thus we mourn we would rejoice;And, as thy cross we see,Let each exclaim in faith and hope,The Saviour died for me!

Christian Worship The Lord’s Prayer. Father! adored in worlds above,Thy glorious name be hallowed still;Thy kingdom come with power and love,And earth, like heaven, obey thy will. Lord! make our daily wants thy care;Forgive the sins which we forsake:And, as we in thy kindness share,Let fellow-men of ours partake. Evils beset us every hour;Thy kind […]

Christian Worship God Is A Spirit. The heaven of heavens cannot containThe universal Lord;Yet he in humble hearts will deignTo dwell and be adored. Where’er ascends the sacrificeOf fervent praise and prayer,Or on the earth, or in the skies,The God of heaven is there. His presence is diffused abroadThrough realms, through worlds unknown;Who seek the […]
