Christian Hymns

Christian Worship Enter Into His Gates With Thanksgiving, And Into His Courts With Praise. Approach not the altarWith gloom in thy soul;Nor let thy feet falter,From terror’s control!God loves not the sadnessOf fear and mistrust;Oh serve him with gladness-The Gentle, the Just! His bounty is tender,His being is love,His smile fills with splendor,The blue arch […]

Christian Worship Death Of An Infant. As the sweet flower that scents the morn,But withers in the rising day,Thus lovely was this infant’s dawn,Thus swiftly fled its life away. It died ere its expanding soulHad ever burnt with wrong desires,Had ever spurned at Heaven’s control,Or ever quenched its sacred fires. Yet the sad hour that […]

Christian Worship Confidence In God. My God! the covenant of thy loveAbides forever sure;And in thy matchless grace I feelMy happiness secure. What though my house be not with theeAs nature could desire?To nobler joys than nature givesThy servants all aspire. Since thou, the everlasting God,My Father art become;Jesus my Guardian and my Friend,And heaven […]

Christian Worship Perfection Of God’s Law. God’s perfect law converts the soul,Reclaims from false desires;With sacred wisdom his sure wordThe ignorant inspires. The statutes of the Lord are just,And bring sincere delight;His pure commands, in search of truth,Assist the feeblest sight. His perfect worship here is fixed,On sure foundations laid;His equal laws are in the […]

Christian Worship Asleep In Christ. Asleep in Jesus! blessed sleep!From which none ever wakes to weep;A calm and undisturbed repose,Unbroken by the dread of foes. Asleep in Jesus! peaceful rest!Whose waking is supremely blest;No fear, no woes shall dim that hour,Which manifests the Saviour’s power! Asleep in Jesus! time nor spaceDebars this precious hiding place;On […]

Christian Worship Sabbath Hymn. Called by the Sabbath bells away,Unto thy holy temple, Lord,I’ll go, with willing mind to pray,To praise thy name and hear thy word. O sacred day of peace and joy,Thy hours are ever dear to me;Ne’er may a sinful thought destroyThe holy calm I find in thee. Dear are thy peaceful […]

Christian Worship Prayer For Seamen. We come, O Lord, before thy throne,And, with united pleas,We meet and pray for those who roamFar off upon the seas. O, may the Holy Spirit bowThe sailor’s heart to thee,Till tears of deep repentance flowLike rain-drops in the sea. Then may a Saviour’s dying lovePour peace into his breast,And […]

Christian Worship Rising Towards Heaven. Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,Thy better portion trace;Rise from transitory things,Towards heaven, thy native place:Sun, and moon, and stars decay,Time shall soon this earth remove;Rise, my soul, and haste awayTo seats prepared above. Rivers to the ocean run,Nor stay in all their course;Fire ascending seeks the sun,-Both speed […]

Christian Worship Self-distrust. ‘T is a point I long to know,-Oft it causes anxious thought,-Do I love the Lord, or no?Am I his, or am I not? If I love, why am I thus?Why this dull and lifeless frame?Hardly, sure, can they be worse,Who have never heard his name. If I pray, or hear, or […]

Christian Worship Evening Hymn. Thus far the Lord has led me on,Thus far his power prolongs my days!And every evening shall make knownSome fresh memorial of his grace. Much of my time has run to waste,And I, perhaps, am near my home;But he forgives my follies past,He gives me strength for days to come. I […]
