Christian Hymns

Christian Worship On Occasion Of A Destructive Fire. Eternal God, our humbled soulsBefore thy presence bow;With all thy wasting magazines,How terrible art thou! The flames thy messengers become,And their destruction pour,And that which we in strength had rearedLies mouldered in an hour. Within our pleasant places, Lord,Destruction rears its head,And blackened walls and smoking heapsAlong […]

Christian Worship Winter. The hoary frost, the fleecy snow,Descend, and clothe the ground;The liquid streams forbear to flow,In icy fetters bound. When, from his dreadful stores on high,God pours the sounding hail,The man that does his power defyShall find his courage fail. God sends his word and melts the snow;The fields no longer mourn;He calls […]

Christian Worship Progress Of Gospel Truth. Upon the Gospel’s sacred pageThe gathered beams of ages shine;And, as it hastens, every ageBut makes its brightness more divine. Truth, strengthened by the strength of thought,Pours inexhaustible supplies,Whence sagest teachers may be taught,And Wisdom’s self become more wise. More glorious still as centuries roll,New regions blest, new powers […]

Christian Worship The Jubilee Proclaimed. Blow ye the trumpet, blow,The gladly solemn sound;Let all the nations know,To earth’s remotest bound,The year of jubilee is come;Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. The gospel trumpet hear,The news of pardoning grace:Ye happy souls, draw near;Behold your Saviour’s face:The year of jubilee is come;Return, ye ransomed sinners, home. Jesus, our […]

Christian Worship Unto You Who Believe He Is Precious. How sweet the name of Jesus soundsIn a believer’s ear!It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,And drives away his fear. It makes the wounded spirit whole,It calms the troubled breast;‘T is manna to the hungry soul,And, to the weary, rest. Weak is the effort of my […]

Christian Worship When The Parting Bosom Bleeds When the parting bosom bleeds,When our native shore recedes,When the wild and faithless mainTakes us to her trust again,Father! view a sailor’s woe-Guide us wheresoe’er we go. When the lonely watch we keep,Silent on the mighty deep,While the boisterous surges hoarseBear us daily on our course,Eye that never […]

Christian Worship At A Funeral. Farewell! what power of words can tellThe sorrows of a last farewell,When, standing by the mournful bier,We mingle with our prayers a tear! When memory tells of days gone by,Of blighted hope and vanished joy:Bright hopes that withered like a flower,Cut down and faded in an hour. Give forth thy […]

Christian Worship Evening Hymn. Lord of glory! King of power!In this lone and silent hour,While the shades of darkness rise,And the eve is on the skies,By thy blessing, as the dews,Which yon shaded skies diffuse,Bid our feverish passions cease;Calm us with thy promised peace. Wheresoe’er the brow of painSeeks oblivion’s balm in vain,Or the form […]

Christian Worship The Blessings Of The Gospel. Blest are the souls that hear and knowThe gospel’s joyful sound;Peace shall attend the paths they go,And light their steps surround. Their joy shall bear their spirits up,Through their Redeemer’s name;His righteousness exalts their hope,Nor dares the world condemn. The Lord, our glory and defence,Strength and salvation gives;Israel, […]

Christian Worship True Prayer. The Lord is on his holy throne,He sits in kingly state;Let those who for his favors seek,In humble silence wait. True prayer is not th’ imposing soundThat clamorous lips repeat;But the deep silence of a soulThat clasps Jehovah’s feet.
