Christian Hymns

Christian Worship Self-abandonment To God. Lord! bring me to resignMy doubting heart to thee;And, whether cheerful or distressed,Thine, thine alone to be. My only aim be this,-Thy purpose to fulfil,In thee rejoice with all my strength,And do thy holy will. Lord! thy all-seeing eyeKeeps watch with sleepless care:Thy great compassion never fails;Thou hear’st my needy […]

Christian Worship A Communion Hymn. O, for a prophet’s fire,O, for an angel’s tongue,To speak the mighty love of HimWho on the cross was hung. In vain our hearts attempt,In language meet, to tellHow through a thousand sorrows burnedThat flame unquenchable. Yet would we praise that love,Beyond expression dear:Come, gather round this table, then,And celebrate […]

Christian Worship Christ’s Love To Enemies Our Example. God of our mercy and our praise,Thy glory is our song;We’ll speak the honors of thy graceWith a rejoicing tongue. When Christ among the sons of menIn humble form was found,With cruel slanders, false and vain,They compassed him around. Their miseries his compassion moved,Their peace he still […]

Christian Worship He Steadfastly Set His Face To Go To Jerusalem. The Saviour, what a noble flame,Was kindled in his breast,When hasting to Jerusalem,He marched before the rest! Good-will to men, and zeal for God,His every thought engross;He goes to be baptized with blood;He goes to meet the cross. With all his sufferings full in […]

Christian Worship Christmas Hymn. Calm on the listening ear of nightCome heaven’s melodious strains,Where wild Judea stretches farHer silver-mantled plains! The answering hills of PalestineSend back the glad reply;And greet, from all their holy heights,The dayspring from on high O’er the blue depths of GalileeThere comes a holier calm,And Sharon waves, in solemn praise,Her silent […]

Christian Worship The Solace Of Faith. When human hopes and joys depart,I give thee, Lord, a contrite heart;And on my weary spirit stealThe thoughts that pass all earthly weal. I cast above my tearful eyes,And muse upon the starry skies;And think that He who governs thereStill keeps me in his guardian care. I gaze upon […]

Christian Worship For A Temperance Anniversary. We praise thee, if one rescued soul,While the past year prolonged its flight,Turned, shuddering, from the poisonous bowl,To health, and liberty, and light. We praise thee, if one clouded home,Where broken hearts despairing pined,Beheld the sire and husband comeErect and in his perfect mind. No more a weeping wife […]

Christian Worship Closing Hymn. Israel’s Shepherd, guide me, feed me.Through my pilgrimage below,And beside the waters lead me,Where thy flock rejoicing go. Lord, thy guardian presence ever,Meekly kneeling, I implore;I have found thee, and would never,Never wander from thee more.

Christian Worship Christ Suffering On The Cross. ‘T is finished!-so the Saviour cried,And meekly bowed his head and died:‘T is finished!-yes, the race is run,The battle fought, the victory won. ‘T is finished!-all that heaven foretoldBy prophets in the days of old;And truths are opened to our view,That kings and prophets never knew. ‘T is […]

Christian Worship Time! What An Empty Vapor ’tis! Time! what an empty vapor ’tis!And days, how swift they are!Swift as an Indian arrow flies,Or like a shooting star. The present moments just appear,Then slide away in haste;That we can never say, they’re here;But only say, they’re past. Our life is ever on the wing,And death […]
