Christian Hymns

Christian Worship The Hope, The Star, The Voice. There is a hope, a blesséd hope,More precious and more brightThan all the joyless mockeryThe world esteems delight. There is a star, a lovely star,That lights the darkest gloom,And sheds a peaceful radiance o’erThe prospects of the tomb. There is a voice, a cheering voice,That lifts the […]

Christian Worship Blessedness Of The Pious Dead. O, stay thy tears; for they are blest,Whose days are past, whose toil is done:Here midnight care disturbs our rest;Here sorrow dims the noonday sun. How blest are they whose transient yearsPass like an evening meteor’s flight!Not dark with guilt, nor dim with tears;Whose course is short, unclouded, […]

Christian Worship Christ The Corner-stone. See what a living stoneThe builders did refuse;Yet God hath built his church thereon,In spite of envious Jews. The work, O Lord, is thine,And wondrous in our eyes;This day declares it all divine,This day did Jesus rise. This is the glorious dayThat our Redeemer made;Let us rejoice, and sing, and […]

Christian Worship Is It Such A Fast That I Have Chosen? Is this a fast for me?-Thus saith the Lord our God;-A day for man to vex his soul,And feel affliction’s rod?- Like bulrush low to bowHis sorrow-stricken head,With sackcloth for his inner vest,And ashes round him spread? Shall day like this have powerTo stay […]

Christian Worship Burial Of A Friend. As, bowed by sudden storms, the roseSinks on the garden’s breast,Down to the grave our brother goes,In silence there to rest. No more with us his tuneful voiceThe hymn of praise shall swell;No more his cheerful heart rejoiceWhen peals the Sabbath bell. Yet, if, in yonder cloudless sphereAmid a […]

Christian Worship The Sower And His Sheaves. He, that goeth forth with weeping,Bearing still the precious seed,Never tiring, never sleeping,Soon shall see his toil succeed:Showers of rain will fall from heaven,Then the cheering sun will shine,So shall plenteous fruit be given,Through an influence all divine. Sow thy seed, be never weary,Let not fear thy mind […]

Christian Worship Fall Of Israel. Fallen is thy throne, O Israel!-Silence is on all thy plains,-Thy dwellings all lie desolate,-Thy children weep in chains.Where are the dews that fed theeOn Ethan’s barren shore?That fire from heaven that led theeNow lights thy path no more! Lord, thou didst love Jerusalem!Once she was all thy own!Her love […]

Christian Worship The Mourner’s Thoughts Of Heaven. Not for the pious dead we weep;Their sorrows now are o’er;The sea is calm, the tempest past,On that eternal shore. O, might some dream of visioned bliss,Some trance of rapture, showWhere, on the bosom of their God,They rest from human woe! Thence may their pure devotion’s flameOn us, […]

Christian Worship Universal Hallelujah. When shall the voice of singingFlow joyfully along?When hill and valley, ringingWith one triumphant song,Proclaim the contest ended,And Him, who once was slain,Again to earth descended,In righteousness to reign? Then from the craggy mountainsThe sacred shout shall fly,And shady vales and fountainsShall echo the reply:High tower and lowly dwellingShall send the […]

Christian Worship The Pilgrimage Of Life. Our country is Immanuel’s ground;We seek that promised soil;The songs of Zion cheer our hearts,While strangers here we toil. Oft do our eyes with joy o’erflow,And oft are bathed in tears;Yet naught but heaven our hopes can raise,And naught but sin our fears. We tread the path our Master […]
