Christian Hymns

Christian Worship Perpetual Praise. When, wakened by thy voice of power,The hour of morning beams in light,My voice shall sing that morning hour,And thee, who mad’st that hour so bright. The morning strengthens into noon;Earth’s fairest beauties shine more fair;And noon and morning shall attuneMy grateful heart to praise and prayer. When ‘neath the evening […]

Christian Worship Quiet Religion. Open, Lord, my inward ear,And bid my heart rejoice;Bid my quiet spirit hearThe comfort of thy voice;Never in the whirlwind found,Or where earthquakes rock the placeStill and silent is the sound,The whisper of thy grace. From the world of sin, and noise,And hurry, I withdraw;For the small and inward voiceI wait […]

Christian Worship The Joy Of Social Worship. How good and pleasant is the sight,How great the bliss they share,When Christ’s assembled flock uniteIn acts of social prayer!God thither, with paternal care,His face benignant bends;And Jesus, by his spirit there,On faithful hearts descends. To such, by hallowed lips expressed,His grace confirms his word,As once Cornelius’ house […]

Christian Worship Room At The Lord’s Table. Millions of souls, in glory now,Were fed and feasted here;And millions more, still on the way,Around the board appear. Yet is his house and heart so largeThat millions more may come;Nor could the whole assembled worldO’erfill the spacious room. All things are ready; come away,Nor weak excuses frame;Crowd […]

Christian Worship What Is Prayer? Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire,Uttered or unexpressed,The motion of a hidden fire,That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh,The falling of a tear,The upward glancing of an eye,When none but God is near. Prayer is the simplest form of speechThat infant lips can try,Prayer the […]

Christian Worship Decrees And Providence Of God. Let the whole race of creatures lieAbased before the Lord:Whate’er his mighty hand has formedHe governs with a word. Ten thousand ages ere the skiesWere into motion brought,All the long years and worlds to comeStood present to his thought. Trusting thy wisdom, God of love,We would not wish […]

Christian Worship Ordination Or Installation. Lift aloud the voice of praise!God, our Father and our Friend,Hear the prayer and song we raise,Weak, yet trusting, we would bend. Lo! another servant broughtTo the heritage of God;-May he teach as Christ hath taught,Tread the path his Saviour trod. To the vineyard may he comeGirded with celestial might;Skilled […]

Christian Worship Pardon. Soft are the fruitful showers that bringThe welcome promise of the spring,And soft the vernal gale:Sweet the wild warblings of the grove,The voice of nature and of love,That gladden every vale. But softer in the mourner’s earSounds the mild voice of mercy near,That whispers sins forgiven;And sweeter far the music swells,When to […]

Christian Worship Proper Dispositions For The Communion. O here, if ever, God of love!Let strife and hatred cease;And every thought harmonious move,And every heart be peace. Not here, where met to think on him,Whose latest thoughts were ours,Shall mortal passions come to dimThe prayer devotion pours. No, gracious Master, not in vainThy life of love […]

Christian Worship Humility. The bird that soars on highest wingBuilds on the ground her lowly nest;And she that doth most sweetly singSings in the shade when all things rest:-In lark and nightingale we seeWhat honor hath humility. When Mary chose the better part,She meekly sat at Jesus’ feet;And Lydia’s gently opened heartWas made for God’s […]
