Grant me within thy courts a place

Among thy saints a seat,
Forever to behold thy face,

When storms of trouble blow,
And in thy tabernacle hide,
Secure from every foe.

When thus I hear thee speak,
My heart would leap for joy, and say,

To worship in Thy name,
As they approach thy mercy-seat,

And show his smiling face.

Fulfill to us thy precious word,
Thy loving-kindness prove. Tune Title: LAUREL HILL

There they behold thy mercy seat;
Where'er they seek thee, thou art found,
And every place is hallowed ground;

Dost dwell with those of humble mind;
Such ever bring thee where they come,
And, going, take thee to their home.
3 Great Shepherd of thy chosen few,
Thy former mercies now renew;
And to our waiting hearts proclaim
The sweetness of thy saving name. Tune Title: MALVERN

Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone!
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #472 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Far from my thoughts, vain world, begone!
Let my religious hours alone:
Fain would mine eyes my Saviour see;
I wait a visit, Lord, from thee.
2 My heart grows warm with holy fire,
And kindles with a pure desire;
Come, my dear Jesus! from above,
And feed my soul with heavenly love.
3 Blest Saviour, what delicious fare!
How sweet thine entertainments are?
Never did angels taste, above,
Redeeming grace and dying love. Tune Title: MALVERN

Obedient to their sovereign Lord,
Meet to recount his acts of grace,
And offer solemn prayer and praise.
2 There, says the Saviour, will I be,
Amid this little company;
To them unvail my smiling face,
And shed my glories round the place.
3 We meet at thy command, dear Lord,
Relying on thy faithful word;
Now send thy Spirit from above,
Now fill our hearts with heavenly love. Tune Title: MALVERN
Where two or three, with sweet accord
Now we have met in Jesus' name
Author: Samuel Stennett Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #474 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Now we have met in Jesus' name,
To glorify our Lord we aim;
We strive each duty to fulfill,
With anxious thoughts to do his will.
2 We've met in love and holy fear,
To hear the happy saints declare
The rich compassion of a God
The virtues of a Saviour's blood.
3 O Saviour, help them to express
The wonders of triumphant grace,
While to the church they freely own
What for their souls the Lord hath done. Tune Title: MALVERN
Now we have met in Jesus' name
Command thy blessing from above
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #475 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Command thy blessing from above,
O God, on all assembled here;
Behold us with a Father's love,
While we look up with filial fear.
2 Command thy blessing, Jesus, Lord!
May we thy true disciples be;
Speak to each heart the mighty word,
Say to the weakest, "Follow me."

Spirit of truth! and fill the place
With wounding and with healing power,
With quickening and confirming grace. Tune Title: MALVERN

Early, my God, without delay
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #476 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Early, my God, without delay,
I haste to seek thy face,
My thirsty spirit faints away
Without thy cheering grace.
2 So pilgrims on the scorching sand,
Beneath a burning sky,
Long for a cooling stream at hand,
And they must drink or die.
3 I've seen thy glory and thy power
Through all thy temple shine:
My God, repeat that heavenly hour,
That vision so divine.
4 Not life itself, with all its joys,
Can my best passions move,
Or raise so high my cheerful voice
As thy forgiving love. Tune Title: LAUREL HILL
Early, my God, without delay
We all are yet alive
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #479 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 We all are yet alive,
And see each other's face:
Glory and praise to Jesus give
For his redeeming grace.
2 What troubles have we seen,
What conflicts have we passed,
Fightings without, and fears within,
Since we assembled last!
3 But out of all, the Lord
Hath brought us by his love;
And still his help he doth afford,
And hides our life above.
4 Let us take up the cross
Till we the crown obtain;
And gladly reckon all things loss,
So we may Jesus gain. Tune Title: LAUREL HILL
We all are yet alive
Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!
Author: George Burder Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #480 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!
When the saints together meet,
When the Saviour is the theme,
When they join to sing of him.
2 Sing we then eternal love,
Such as did the Father move;
He beheld the world undone,
Loved the world and gave his Son.
3 Sing the Son's amazing love;
How he left the realms above,
Took our nature and our place,
Lived and died to save our race.
4 Sing we, too, the Spirit's love;
With our stubborn hearts he strove,
Filled our minds with grief and fear,
Brought the precious Saviour near.
5 Sweet the time, exceeding sweet,
When the saints in heaven shall meet;
Jesus still will be the theme,
They shall always sing of him. Tune Title: DURHAM
Sweet the time, exceeding sweet!
As the hart, with eager looks
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #481 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 As the hart, with eager looks,
Panteth for the water-brooks,
So my soul, athirst for thee,
Pants the living God to see;
2 Why art thou cast down, my soul?
God, thy God, shall make thee whole;
Why art thou disquieted?
God shall lift thy fallen head.
3 When, O, when, with filial fear,
Lord, to thee my soul draws near,
Let thy countenance benign
Be the saving health of mine. Tune Title: DURHAM
As the hart, with eager looks
Children of the heavenly King
Author: John Cennick Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #482 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
As we journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in his works and ways.
2 We are traveling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
And when Christ our Lord shall come,
We shall all be gathered home.
3 Shout, ye little flock, and blest,
You near Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seats are now prepared,
There your kingdom and reward.
4 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on. Tune Title: DURHAM
Children of the heavenly King
Jesus, we thy promise claim
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #483 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Jesus, we thy promise claim;
We are gathered in thy name:
In the midst do thou appear;
Manifest thy presence here.
2 Sanctify us, Lord, and bless;
Breathe thy Spirit, give thy peace;
Come and dwell within each heart,
Light, and life, and joy impart.
3 Make us all in thee complete;
Make us all for glory meet;
Meet to stand before thy sight,
Partners with the saints in light. Tune Title: DURHAM
Jesus, we thy promise claim
Thou Coming One, our wants relieve
Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #484 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Thou coming One, our wants relieve
In this our evil day;
To all thy tempted followers give
The power to watch and pray.
Long as our fiery trials last,
Long as the cross we bear,
O let our soul on thee be cast,
In all-prevailing prayer.
2 The power of interceding grace
Give us in faith to claim;
To wrestle till we see thy face,
And know thy hidden name.
Till then thy perfect love impart;
Till thou appear below
Be this the cry of every heart,
"I will not let thee go."
3 I will not let thee go, unless
Thou tell thy name to me;
With all thy great salvation bless,
And make me all like thee.
Then let me on the mountain-top
Behold thy open face,
Where faith in sight is swallowed up,
And prayer in joyful praise. Tune Title: PERSEVERANCE
Thou Coming One, our wants relieve
I'm but a stranger here
Author: Thomas R. Taylor Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #485 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 I'm but a stranger here,
Heaven is my home;
Earth is a desert drear,
Heaven is my home;
Danger and sorrow stand
Round me on every hand,
Heaven is my Fatherland,
Heaven is my home.
2 What though the tempest rage,
Heaven is my home;
Short is my pilgrimage,
Heaven is my home.
Time's cold and wintry blast
Soon will be overpast;
I shall reach home at last,
Heaven is my home.
3 There at my Saviour's side,
Heaven is my home;
I shall be glorified,
Heaven is my home.
There'll be the good and blest,
Those I love most and best,
There, too, I soon shall rest;
Heaven is my home. Tune Title: OAK
I'm but a stranger here
I want a principle within
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #486 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 I want a principle within,
Of jealous, godly fear;
A sensibility of sin,
A pain to feel it near;
I want the first approach to feel,
Of pride or loud desire;
To catch the wandering of my will,
And quench the kindling fire.
2 From thee that I no more may part,
No more thy goodness grieve,
The filial awe, the fleshly heart,
The tender conscience, give.
Quick as the apple of an eye,
O God, my conscious make;
Awake my soul when sin is nigh,
And keep it still awake.
3 If to the right or left I stray,
That moment, Lord, reprove;
And let me weep my life away
For having grieved thy love.
O, may the least omission pain
My well-instructed soul!
And drive me to the blood again
Which makes the wounded whole. Tune Title: MOUNT BETHEL
I want a principle within
O speed thee, Christian, on thy way
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #487 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 O speed thee, Christian, on thy way,
And to thy armor cling;
With girded loins the call obey
That grace and mercy bring.
There is a battle to be fought,
An upward race to run,
A crown of glory to be sought,
A victory to be won.
2 The shield of faith repels the dart
That Satan's hand may throw;
His arrow cannot reach thy heart
If Christ control the bow.
The glowing lamp of prayer will light
Thee on thy anxious road;
'Twill keep the goal of heaven in sight,
And guide thee to thy God. Tune Title: MOUNT BETHEL
O speed thee, Christian, on thy way
There is an hour of hallowed peace
Author: William B. Tappan Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #488 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of hallowed peace
For those with cares oppressed,
When sighs and sorrowing tears shall cease,
And all be hushed to rest.
'Tis then the soul is freed from fear
And doubts which here annoy;
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.
2 There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms assail no ore;
The stream of endless pleasure flows
On that celestial shore.
There purity and love appear,
And bliss without alloy;
There they that oft had sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy. Tune Title: MOUNT BETHEL
There is an hour of hallowed peace
Chief of sinners though I be
Author: McComb Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #489 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Chief of sinners though I be,
Jesus shed his blood for me;
Died that I might live on high,
Died that I might never die;
As the branch is to the vine,
I am his, and he is mine.
2 O the hight of Jesus' love!
Higher than the heaven above,
Deeper than the deepest sea,
Lasting as eternity;
Love that found me, wondrous tho't!
Found me when I sought him not!
3 Chief of sinners though I be,
Christ is all in all to me;
All my wants to him are known,
All my sorrows are his own;
Safe with him from earthly strife,
He sustains the hidden life.
Tune Title: SPANISH HYMN
Chief of sinners though I be
Father, hear thy humble child
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #490 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Father, hear thy humble child,
By thy mercy reconciled;
Hear, and all thy graces shower,
All the joy, and peace, and power;
All my Saviour asks above,
All the life and heaven of love.
2 Lord, I will not let thee go
Till the blessing thou bestow:
Hear my Advocate divine;
Lo! to his my suit I join;
Joined to his, it cannot fail;
Bless me; for I will prevail.
3 Heavenly Father, Life divine,
Change my nature into thine;
Move, and spread throughout my soul;
Actuate and fill the whole:
Be it I no longer now
Living in the flesh, but thou.
4 Holy Ghost, no more delay;
Come, and in thy temple stay;
Now thine inward witness bear,
Strong, and permanent, and clear:
Spring of life, thyself impart;
Rise eternal in my heart. Tune Title: SPANISH HYMN
Father, hear thy humble child
Lamb of God! to thee I cry
Author: Richard Mant Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #491 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God! to thee I cry:
By thy bitter agony,
By thy pangs to us unknown,
By thy spirit's parting groan,
Lord, thy presence let me see,
Manifest thyself to me.
2 Prince of life! to thee I cry:
By thy glorious majesty,
By thy triumph o'er the grave,
Meek to suffer, strong to save,
Lord, thy presence let me see,
Manifest thyself to me.
3 Lord of glory, now on high,
Hear thy needy servant's cry;
With thy love my bosom fill,
Prompt me to perform thy will;
Then thy glory I shall see,
Thou wilt bring me home to thee. Tune Title: SPANISH HYMN
Lamb of God! to thee I cry
Speak often to each other
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #492 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Speak often to each other,
To cheer the fainting mind;
And often be your voices
In pure devotion joined;
Though trials may await you,
The crown before you lies;
Take courage, brother pilgrim,
And soon you'll win the prize.
2 You shall be mine, says Jesus,
In that auspicious day
When I make up my jewels,
Released from cumb'rous clay;
He'll polish and refine you
From worthless dross and tin,
And to his heavenly kingdom
Will bid you enter in.
3 We'll range the wide dominion
Of our Redeemer round,
And in dissolving raptures
Be lost in love profound;
While all the flaming harpers
Begin the lasting song,
With hallelujahs rolling
From the unnumbered throng.
Tune Title: WEBB
Speak often to each other
Farewell, all earthly treasures
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #493 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Farewell, all earthly treasure,
I bid you all adieu;
Farewell, all earthly honor,
I want no more of you.
I want my union grounded
On God's eternal Son,
Beyond the power of Satan,
Where sin can never come.
2 I want my name engraven
Among the righteous ones,
Who see my Father's glory,
And wear a starry crown.
For these, the better riches,
I'm willing to pass through
All earthly tribulation,
And count it my just due.
3 I'm willing to be cleansed,
And bear the daily cross;
I'm willing to be purged
From every kind of dross.
I see the fiery furnace,
And feel its cleansing flame;
The fruit of it is holy,
The gold will still remain.
4 All earthly tribulation
Is but a moment here;
And O, if we are faithful,
A crown of life we'll wear!
We shall be pure and holy,
And feed on angels' food,
Rejoicing in bright glory
Around the throne of God. Tune Title: WEBB

I will follow thee, my Saviour
Author: James L. Elginburg Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #494 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 I will follow thee, my Saviour,
Wheresoe'er my lot may be,
Where thou goest I will follow;
Yes, my Lord, I'll follow thee.
Chorus:
I will follow thee, my Saviour,
Thou didst shed thy blood for me;
And though all men should forsake thee,
By thy grace I'll follow thee.
2 Though the road be rough and thorny,
Trackless as the foaming sea,
Thou hast trod this way before me,
And I'll gladly follow thee. [Chorus]
3 Though I meet with tribulations,
Surely tempted though I be;
I remember thou wast tempted,
And rejoice to follow thee. [Chorus]
4 Though thou lead'st me through affliction,
Poor, forsaken, though I be;
Thou was destitute, afflicted,
And I only follow thee. [Chorus]
5 Though to Jordan's rolling billows,
Cold and deep, thou leadest me,
Thou hast crossed the waves before me,
And I still will follow thee. [Chorus] Tune Title: I WILL FOLLOW THEE

Thou art scattering full and free;
Showers the thirsty soul refreshing;
Let some drops now fall on me,
Refrain:
Even me, even me,
Let some drops now fall on me.
2 Pass me not, O gracious Father!
Sinful though my heart may be;
Thou might'st leave me, but the rather
Let thy mercy rest on me. [Refrain]
3 Have I long in sin been sleeping?
Long been slighting, grieving thee?
Has the world my heart been keeping?
O forgive and rescue me! [Refrain]
4 Pass me not, O holy Spirit!
Thou canst make the blind to see;
Testify of Jesus' merit,
Speak the word of peace to me. [Refrain] Tune Title: EVEN ME
Even me, even me
For O, we stand on Jordan's strand
Author: David Nelson Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #496 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship First Line: My days are gliding swiftly by Lyrics: 1 My days are gliding swiftly by,
And I, a pilgrim stranger,
Would not detain them as they fly
Those hours of toil and danger;
Chorus:
For O, we stand on Jordan's strand,
And soon we'll all pass over;
And just before, the shining shore
We may almost discover.
2 We'll gird our loins, my brethren dear,
Our distant home discerning;
Our absent Lord has left us word,
Let every lamp be burning. [Chorus]
3 Should coming days be cold and dark,
We need not cease our singing;
That perfect rest naught can molest,
Where golden harps are ringing. [Chorus]
4 Let sorrow's rudest tempest blow,
Each cord on earth to sever,
Our King says, Come, and there's our home,
Forever, O forever! [Chorus] Tune Title: SHINING SHORE
For O, we stand on Jordan's strand
There is no name so sweet on earth
Author: E. Roberts Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #497 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 There is no name so sweet on earth,
No name so sweet in heaven,
The name before his wondrous birth
To Christ, the Saviour, given.
Chorus:
We love to sing around our King,
And hail him blessed Jesus;
For there's no word ear ever heard,
So dear, so sweet as "Jesus."
2 He's now upon His Father's throne,
Almighty to release us
From sin and pain, he gladly reigns,
The Prince and Saviour, Jesus. [Chorus] Tune Title: SHINING SHORE
There is no name so sweet on earth
Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #498 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine,
The joy and desire of my heart,
For closer communion I pine,
I long to reside where thou art;
The pasture I languish to find,
Where all who their Shepherd obey,
Are fed, on thy bosom reclined,
And screened from the heat of the day.
2 'Tis there, with the lambs of thy flock,
There only, I covet to rest;
To lie at the foot of the rock,
Or rise to be hid in thy breast:
'Tis there I would always abide,
And never a moment depart,
Concealed in the cleft of thy side,
Eternally held in thy heart. Tune Title: SHINING SHORE
Thou Shepherd of Israel, and mine
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #499 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee:
All things else I have forsaken;
Thou from hence my all shalt be.
Perish every fond ambition,
All I've sought, or hoped, or known;
Yet how rich is my condition,
While I prove the Lord my own.
2 Let the world despise and leave me
They have left my Saviour, too;
Human hearts and looks deceive me
Thou art faithful, thou art true.
O, 'tis not in grief to harm me,
While thy love is left to me;
O, 'twere not in joy to charm me,
If that love be hid from me.
3 Soul, then know thy full salvation;
Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care;
Joy to find in every station
Something still to do or bear.
Think what Spirit dwells within thee;
Think what Father's smiles are thine;
Think that Jesus died to win thee;
Child of Heaven, canst thou repine?
4 Haste thee on from grace to glory,
Armed by faith and winged by prayer;
Heaven's eternal day's before thee;
God's own hand shall guide thee there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission,
Soon shall pass thy pilgrim days;
Hope shall change to glad fruition,
Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Tune Title: ELLESDIE
Jesus, I my cross have taken
Far from mortal cares retreating
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #500 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Far from mortal cares retreating,
Sordid hopes and vain desires,
Here, our willing footsteps meeting,
Every heart to heaven aspires.
From the Fount of glory beaming,
Light celestial cheers our eyes:
'Tis the grace of pardon streaming
From the portals of the skies.
2 Who may share this great salvation?
Every pure and humble mind,
Every kindred, tongue, and nation,
From the stains of guilt refined.
Blessings all around bestowing,
God withholds his care from none;
Grace and truth are ever flowing
From the fountain of his throne. Tune Title: ELLESDIE
Far from mortal cares retreating
Blessed Jesus, meek and lowly
Author: Annie R. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #501 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Blessed Jesus, meek and lowly,
With us here take thine abode;
We would fain like thee be holy,
Humbly walking with our God.
We would thy sweet Spirit cherish,
Welcome in our hearts thy stay;
Lest without thine aid we perish,
O, abide with us, we pray!
2 Guide us in the path to heaven,
Rugged though that path may be;
Let each bitter cup that's given,
Service to draw us nearer thee.
In thy footsteps traced before us,
There we see earth's scorn and frown;
There is suffering ere the glory,
There's a cross before the crown.
3 In thy vineyard let us labor,
Of thy goodness let us tell;
All is ill without thy favor,
With thy presence all is well.
While the evening shadows gather,
Through this dreary night of tears,
Tarry with us, O our Saviour,
Till the morning light appears.
4 Then with thee may we forever
Reign with all the good and blest,
Where no sin from thee can sever,
Where the weary are at rest;
There to praise the matchless Giver.
There with angels to adore
Him who did through grace deliver
Us from death forevermore.
Tune Title: AUTUMN
Blessed Jesus, meek and lowly
Vain are all terrestrial pleasures
Author: David E. Ford Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #502 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Vain are all terrestrial pleasures,
Mixed with dross the purest gold;
See we then for heavenly treasures
Treasures never waxing old.
Let our best affections center
On the things around the throne:
There no thief can ever enter;
Moth and rust are there unknown.
2 Earthly joy no longer please us;
Here we would renounce them all;
Seek our only rest in Jesus
Him our Lord and Master call.
Faith, our languid spirits cheering,
Points to brighter worlds above;
Bids us look for his appearing,
Bids us triumph in his love.
3 May our light be always burning,
And our loins be girded round,
Waiting for our Lord's returning
Longing for the welcome sound.
Thus the Christian life adorning,
Never need we be afraid,
Should he come at night or morning,
Early dawn or evening shade. Tune Title: AUTUMN
Vain are all terrestrial pleasures
Come, thou Fount of every blessing
Author: Robert Robinson Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #503 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me ever to adore thee,
May I still thy goodness prove.
While the hope of endless glory
Fills my heart with joy and love.
2 Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by thy help I've come,
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God;
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood.
3 O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness like a fetter
Bind me closer still to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love,
Here's my heart O, take and seal it;
Seal it for thy courts above. Tune Title: NETTLETON
Come, thou Fount of every blessing
Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #504 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship First Line: Let me go where saints are going Lyrics: 1 Let me go where saints are going,
To the mansions of the best;
Let me go where my Redeemer
Has prepared his people's rest:
I would gain the realms of brightness,
Where they dwell forevermore;
I would share the joys that wait me
Over on the other shore.
Chorus:
Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me,
Let me gain the realms of day;
Bear me over, angel pinions,
Longs my soul to be a-way.
2 Let me go where none are weary,
Where is raised no note of woe;
Let me go and bathe my spirit
In the rapture angels know:
Let me go, for bliss eternal
Lures my soul away, away,
And the victor's son triumphant
Thrills my heart, I cannot stay.
3 Let me go, why should I tarry?
What has earth to bind me here?
What but cares and toils and sorrows?
What but death and pain and fear?
Let me go, for hopes that cherished,
Blasted round me often lie:
Here I've gathered brightest flowers
But to see them fade and die.
Tune Title: LET ME GO
Let me go, 'tis Jesus calls me
We speak of the realms of the blest
Author: Elizabeth Mills Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #505 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 We speak of the realms of the blest,
That country so bright and so fair,
And oft are its glories confessed,
But what must is be to be there!
We speak of its pathway of gold,
Its walls decked with jewels so fare,
Its wonders and pleasures untold,
But what must it be to be there!
2 We speak of its freedom from sin,
From sorrow, temptation and care,
From trials without and within,
But what must is be to be there!
We speak of its service of love,
Of the robes which the glorified wear,
Of the church of the first-born above,
But what must it be to be there!
3 Our mourning is all at an end,
When, raised by the life-giving word,
We see the new city descend,
Adorned as a bride for her Lord:
The city so holy and clean,
No sorrow can breathe in the air;
No gloom of affliction or sin,
No shadow of evil is there.
4 Do Thou, midst temptation and woe,
For heaven my spirit prepare;
And shortly I also shall know
And feel what it is to be there.
Then o'er the bright fields we shall roam,
In glory celestial and fair,
With saints and with angels at home,
And Jesus himself will be there.
Tune Title: CONTRAST
We speak of the realms of the blest
How tedious and tasteless the hours
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #506 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 How tedious and tasteless the hours
When Jesus no longer I see!
Sweet prospects, sweet birds, and sweet flowers,
Have all lost their sweetness to me;
The midsummer sun shines but dim,
The fields strive in vain to look gay;
But when I am happy in him,
December's as pleasant as May.
2 His name yields the richest perfume,
And sweeter than music his voice;
His presence disperses my gloom,
And makes all within me rejoice:
I should, were he always thus nigh,
Have nothing to wish or to fear;
No mortal so happy as I,
My summer would last all the year.
3 My Lord, if indeed I am thine,
If thou art my Sun and my Song,
Say, why do I languish and pine?
And why are my winters so long?
O drive these dark clouds from my sky,
Thy soul-cheering presence restore;
Or take me to thee up on high,
Where winter and clouds are no more. Tune Title: CONTRAST
How tedious and tasteless the hours
Out on an ocean all boundless we ride
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #507 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Out on an ocean all boundless we ride,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
Tossed on the waves of a rough, restless tide,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
Far from the safe, quiet harbor we've rode,
Seeking our Father's celestial abode,
Promise of which on us each is bestowed,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
2 Wildly the storm sweeps us on as it roars,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound;
Look! yonder lie the bright heavenly shores,
We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
Steady, O pilot! stand firm at the wheel;
Steady, we soon shall outweather the gale;
O, how we fly 'neath the loud-creaking sail!
We're homeward bound, homeward bound.
3 Into the harbor of heaven now we glide,
We're home at last, home at last;
Softly we drift on its bright silver tide,
We're home at last, home at last.
Glory to God! all our dangers are o'er,
We stand secure on the glorified shore;
Glory to God! we shall shout evermore;
We're home at last, home at last. Tune Title: HOMEWARD BOUND
Out on an ocean all boundless we ride
Christian, thy warfare will shortly be o'er
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #508 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Christian, thy warfare will shortly be o'er,
O do not fear, do not fear;
Soon thou shalt rest where thy foes come no more;
Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
What though the night be so dreary and long,
What though thy foes be unwearied and strong,
Soon thou shalt join in the conqueror's song;
Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
2 What though the billows of life darkly roll,
O do not fear, do not fear;
Friends all forsake thee, and cares press thy soul;
Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
Christian, remember that Christ loves thee still;
Only be faithful, and do Jesus' will,
Soon thou wilt stand with him on Zion's hill;
Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
3 Christian, the angels will soon come for thee,
O do not fear, do not fear;
He whom thou lovest in glory thou'lt see;
Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
O, if thou would'st to the end firm endure,
Keep thy robe holy, and spotless, and pure,
Victorious faith will make Canaan sure;
Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
4 Christian, the shadows will soon flee away,
O do not fear, do not fear;
Then thou wilt enter an eternal day;
Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
In the bright kingdom forever to dwell,
Join angel choirs, and the rich anthem swell,
Bid to thy sorrow a long, long farewell;
Be of good cheer, of good cheer.
Tune Title: HOMEWARD BOUND
Christian, thy warfare will shortly be o'er
O brother, be faithful! soon Jesus will come
Author: U. Smith Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #509 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 O brother, be faithful! soon Jesus will come,
For whom we have waited so long;
O, soon we shall enter our glorious home,
And join in the conqueror's song.
O brother, be faithful! for why should we prove
Unfaithful to him who hath shown
Such deep, such unbounded and infinite love
Who died to redeem us his own.
2 O brother, be faithful! the city of gold,
Prepared for the good and the blest,
Is waiting its portals of pearl to unfold,
And welcome thee into thy rest,
Then, brother, prove faithful! not long shall we stay
In weariness here, and forlorn,
Time's dark night of sorrow is wearing away,
We haste to the glorious morn.
3 O brother, be faithful! He soon will descend,
Creation's omnipotent King,
While legions of angels his chariot attend,
And palm-wreaths of victory bring.
O brother, be faithful! and soon shalt thou hear
Thy Saviour pronounce the glad word,
Well done, faithful servant, thy title is clear,
To enter the joy of the Lord.
4 O brother, be faithful! eternity's years
Shall tell for thy faithfulness now,
When bright smiles of gladness shall scatter thy tears,
And a coronet gleam on thy brow.
O brother, be faithful! the promise is sure,
That waits for the faithful and tried;
To reign with the ransomed, immortal and pure,
And ever with Jesus abide.
Tune Title: BROTHER, BE FAITHFUL
O brother, be faithful! soon Jesus will come
Come, let us anew our journey pursue
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #510 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 Come, let us anew our journey pursue,
Roll round with the year,
And never stand still till the Master appear;
And never stand still till the Master appear.
2 His adorable will let us gladly fulfill,
And our talents improve
By the patience of hope, and the labor of love.
3 Our life as a dream, our time as a stream,
Glides swiftly away,
And the fugitive moment refuses to stay.
4 The arrow is flown, the moment is gone;
The millennial year
Rushes on to our view, and eternity's here.
5 O, that each in the day of His coming may say,
"I have fought my way through;
I have finished the work thou didst give me to do."
6 O, that each from his Lord may receive the glad word,
"Well and faithfully done!
Enter into my joy, and sit down on my throne."
Tune Title: COME, LET US ANEW
Come, let us anew our journey pursue
I love thee, I love thee, I love thee, my Lord
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #511 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 I love thee, I love thee, I love thee, my Lord;
I love thee, my Saviour, I love thee, my God:
I love thee, I love thee, and that thou dost know;
But how much I love thee my actions will show.
2 I'm happy, I'm happy, O wondrous account!
My joys are immortal, I stand on the mount!
I gaze on my treasure and long to be there,
With Jesus and angels, and kindred so dear.
3 O Jesus, my Saviour, with thee I am blest,
My life and salvation, my joy and my rest:
Thy name be my theme, and thy love be my song;
Thy grace shall inspire both my heart and my tongue.
4 O, who's like my Saviour? he's Salem's bright King;
He smiles, and he loves me, and helps me to sing:
I'll praise him, I'll praise him, with notes loud and clear,
While rivers of pleasure my spirit do cheer. Tune Title: I LOVE THEE
I love thee, I love thee, I love thee, my Lord
My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here
Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #512 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here,
Then why should I tremble when trials are near?
Be hushed, my sad spirit, the worst that can come
But shortens my journey, and hastens me home.
2 It is not for me to be seeking my bliss,
Or building my hopes in a region like this;
I look for a city that hands have not piled,
I pant for a country by sin undefiled.
3 The thorn and the thistle around me may grow,
I would not lie down upon roses below;
I ask not my portion, I seek not my rest,
Till I find them forever on Jesus' breast.
4 Afflictions may press me, they cannot destroy;
One glimpse of his love turns them all into joy;
And the bitterest tears, if he smile but on them,
Like dew in the sunshine, grow diamond and gem.
5 Let doubt, then, and danger, my progress oppose,
They only make heaven more sweet at its close;
Come joy, or come sorrow, whate'er may befall,
An hour with my God will make up for them all.
6 A scrip on my back, and a staff in my hand,
I march on in haste through an enemy's land;
The road may be rough, but it cannot be long;
I'll smooth it with hope, and I'll cheer it with song.
Tune Title: REST IN HEAVEN
My rest is in heaven, my rest is not here
'Mid scenes of affliction, with sorrow oppressed
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #513 (1886) Topics: The Christian Hymns for Social Worship Lyrics: 1 'Mid scenes of affliction, with sorrow oppressed,
How oft have I sighed for the season of rest
When no more in this wilderness world I shall roam.
But find in the bosom of Jesus a home
Home sweet home;
But find in the bosom of Jesus a home.
2 No spot on this earth can give permanent bliss,
No home for a stranger and pilgrim is this;
But far in yon azure, the star-spangled dome,
We'll find in the bosom of Jesus a home.
3 This hope cheers the prospect that's gloomy and drear,
And points to the haven of rest that is near;
O there, in sweet fields of delight we shall roam,
And find in the bosom of Jesus a home.
