Christian Worship Confidence In God. Soon as I heard my Father say,Ye children, seek my grace,My heart replied without delay,I’ll seek my Father’s face. Let not thy face be hid from me,Nor frown my soul away;God of my life, I fly to theeIn each distressing day. Should friends and kindred, near and dear,Leave me to […]

Christian Worship The Knowledge Of God. Shine forth, Eternal Source of light!And make thy glories known;Fill our enlarged, adoring sightWith lustre all thine own. Vain are the charms, and faint the raysThe brightest creatures boast;And all their grandeur and their praiseIs in thy presence lost. To know the Author of our frameIs our sublimest skill;True […]

Christian Worship For A Charitable Meeting. God of the poor! whose listening earIs sought by want’s imploring cry,-Whose bounty and whose grace are near,Thy needy children to supply:- To whom with more acceptance riseThe words of mercy’s voice divine,Than pompous rites, or sacrificeOf flocks and herds, of oil and wine. Where’er the poor our aid […]

Christian Worship On The Death Of A Female Scholar. One sweet flower has drooped and faded,One sweet infant’s voice has fled,One fair brow the grave has shaded,One dear school-mate now is dead. But we feel no thought of sadness,For our friend is happy now;She has knelt in soul-felt gladness,Where the blessed angels bow. She has […]

Christian Worship We Love Him Because He First Loved Us. If human kindness meets return,And owns the grateful tie;If tender thoughts within us burnTo feel that friends are nigh; O, shall not warmer accents tellThe gratitude we oweTo Him who died, our fears to quell,And save from death and woe? While yet in anguish he […]

Christian Worship What Is Your Life? O, what is life?-’tis like a flowerThat blossoms and is gone;It flourishes its little hour,With all its beauty on:Death comes, and, like a wintry day,It cuts the lovely flower away. O, what is life?-’tis like the bowThat glistens in the sky:We love to see its colors glow;But, while we […]

Christian Worship Whosoever Will, Let Him Come! Jesus invites his friendsTo meet around his board,And join in blest communion hereWith him their gracious Lord. For us he gave his life;For us he gave his blood;To save from sin our thankless race,And bring them back to God. Our heavenly Father callsChrist and his members one;We the […]

Christian Worship Safety Of The Church. How honored is the placeWhere we adoring stand!-Zion, the glory of the earth,And beauty of the land. Bulwarks of grace defendThe city where we dwell,While walls, of strong salvation made,Defy th’ assaults of hell. Lift up th’ eternal gates;The doors wide open fling;Enter, ye nations that obeyThe statutes of […]

Christian Worship Peaceful Death Of The Righteous. I looked upon the righteous man,And saw his parting breath,Without a struggle or a sigh,Serenely yield to death:There was no anguish on his brow,Nor terror in his eye;The spoiler aimed a fatal dart,But lost the victory. I looked upon the righteous man,And heard the holy prayerWhich rose above […]
