Christian Worship God Is Our Refuge And Strength; A Very Present Help In Trouble. Bereft of all, when hopeless careWould sink us to the tomb,O what can save us from despair?What dissipate the gloom? No balm that earthly plants distilCan soothe the mourner’s smart;No mortal hand with lenient skillBind up the broken heart. But One […]

Christian Worship The Promises Of The Year. The year begins with promisesOf joyful days to come,Of Sabbath bells, of times of prayer,Of thoughts on heaven, our home: Of seed-time, with its gentle winds,Soft dews and healthful showers,And streamlets gushing from the hills,And birds and opening flowers: Of summer, with its warbling choirAmid the balmy leaves;Of […]

Christian Worship Missionary Hymn. From Greenland’s icy mountains,From India’s coral strand,-Where Afric’s sunny fountainsRoll down their golden sand,-From many an ancient river,From many a palmy plain,-They call us to deliverTheir land from error’s chain.

Christian Worship Thanksgiving For Deliverance In A Storm. Our little bark, on boisterous seas,By cruel tempests tossed,Without one cheerful beam of hope,Expecting to be lost,- We to the Lord, in humble prayer,Breathed out our sad distress;Though feeble, yet with contrite hearts,We begged return of peace. Then ceased the stormy winds to blow;The surges ceased to […]

Christian Worship What Though The Arm Of Conquering Death What though the arm of conquering deathDoes God’s own house invade;What though our teacher and our friendIs numbered with the dead;- Though earthly shepherds dwell in dust,The aged and the young;The watchful eye in darkness closed,And dumb th’ instructive tongue? Th’ eternal Shepherd still survives,His teaching […]

Christian Worship General Praise All, from the sun’s uprise,Unto his setting rays,Resound in jubilees,The great Jehovah’s praise.Him serve alone;In triumph bringYour gifts, and sing,Before his throne. Man drew from man his birth,But God his noble frameBuilt of the ruddy earth,Filled with celestial flame.His sons we are;Sheep by him led,Preserved and fedWith tender care. O to […]
