Christian Worship Religious Retirement. Far from the world, O Lord! I flee,From strife and tumult far;From scenes, where sin is waging stillIts most successful war. The calm retreat, the silent shade,With prayer and praise agree;And seem, by thy sweet bounty, madeFor those who follow thee. There, if thy spirit touch the soul,And grace her mean […]

Christian Worship Prayer For Zeal And Love. O Lord! whose forming hand one bloodTo all the tribes and nations gave,And giv’st to all their daily food,Look down in pity on the slave! Fetters and chains and stripes remove,Deliv’rance to the captives give;And pour the tide of light and loveUpon their souls, and bid them live. […]

Christian Worship We Come To Thee, O God We come to thee, O God,With hushed and solemn strain;We come to plead for those who lieBound with the prisoner’s chain. O, give them contrite hearts,To feel their fearful sin,And give to us a patient faithThose erring ones to win. Give us to love thy law,The paths […]

Christian Worship Christ, The Lord, Is Risen To-day Christ, the Lord, is risen to-day,Sons of men and angels say;Raise your songs of triumph high:Sing, ye heavens, and, earth, reply. Love’s redeeming work is done,Fought the fight, the battle won;Lo our Sun’s eclipse is o’er;Lo! he sets in blood no more. Vain the stone, the watch, […]

Christian Worship Oh Shut Not Out Sweet Pity’s Ray Oh shut not out sweet Pity’s rayFrom souls now clouded o’er by sin;Touch their deep springs, and let the dayOf Christian love flow freely in.

In token of the common vow,Be ours, with one consent,The worship of the lowly brow,And knees devoutly bent! But chief, inflamed with heavenly fire,Devotion’s better part,Be ours instinct with one […]

Christian Worship Perfection Of God. Thou art, almighty Lord of all,From everlasting still the same;Before thee dazzling seraphs fall,And veil their faces in a flame,To see such bright perfections glow-Such floods of glory from thee flow. What mortal hand shall dare to paintA semblance of thy glory, Lord?The brightest rainbow-tints are faint;The brightest stars of […]

Christian Worship Nature Transitory-the Soul Immortal. See lovely nature raise her head,In various graces dressed;Her lucid robe by ocean spread,Her verdant, flowery vest. How glorious are those orbs of light,In all their bright array,That gem the ebon brow of night,Or pour the blaze of day! One gem of purest ray, divine,Alone disclaims her power;Still brighter […]

Christian Worship The Seaman’s Song. Would you behold the works of God,His wonders in the world abroad?With hardy mariners surveyThe unknown regions of the sea. They leave their native shores behind,And seize the favor of the wind;Till God command, and tempests rise,That heave the ocean to the skies. When land is far, and death is […]

Christian Worship As The Evening Shadows Gather As the evening shadows gatherO’er us, from thy holy hillMay thy blessing, righteous Father,Like the evening dew distil;And thy presenceEvery heart with rapture fill! While in summer’s warmth and beauty,We our brother set apartTo the pastor’s solemn duty,May thy spirit warm his heart;Without measure,Wisdom, strength and love impart. […]
