Oh, why are you cast down, my soul?
Author: Wm. Rinehart Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #730 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Oh, why art thou cast down, my soul?
Why sunk within me so?
Hope thou in God--he is thy Guide
And Guardian here below.
2 Has not the Saviour died for thee,
And shed his precious blood?
Has he not groaned on Calvary,
To bring thee home to God?
3 Then why art thou cast down, my soul?
Shake off thy gloomy fears;
Thy toils and conflicts soon shall end
In this dark vale of tears.
4 What though the powers of earth and hell
Against thee should combine?
Amidst thy conflicts, O my soul,
A glorious hope is thine.
5 This world and all created things
In ruins soon shall lie;
But thou, my soul, shalt dwell secure,
Beyond the starry sky.
6 There thou shalt rest with Christ above,
Where he, eternal, reigns,
And ever sing redeeming love
With sweet, angelic strains.
Oh, why are you cast down, my soul?
Let sinners take their course
Author: Watts Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #731 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Let sinners take their course,
And choose the road to death;
But in the worship of my God,
I'll spend my daily breath.
2 My thoughts address his throne,
When morning brings the light;
I seek his blessing every noon,
And pay my vows at night.
3 Thou wilt regard my cries,
O my eternal God,
While sinners perish in surprise
Beneath thine angry rod.
Scripture: Psalm 55
Let sinners take their course
I love to steal awhile away
Author: Mrs. Brown Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #732 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 I love to steal awhile away
From every cumb'ring care;
And spend the hours of setting day
In humble, grateful prayer.
2 I love in solitude to shed
The penitential tear;
And all his promises to plead,
Where none but God can hear.
3 I love to think on mercies past,
And future good implore;
And all my cares and sorrows cast
On him whom I adore.
4 I love by faith to take a view
Of brighter scenes in heaven:
The prospect does my strength renew,
While here by tempests driven.
5 Thus, when life's toilsome day is o'er,
May its departing ray
Be calm as this impressive hour,
And lead to endless day. Scripture: Genesis 24:63
I love to steal awhile away
My faith looks up to thee
Author: Palmer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #733 (1873) Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary:
Saviour divine,
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away:
Oh, let me from this day,
Be wholly thine.
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart;
My zeal inspire:
As thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be--
A living fire.
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be thou my Guide:
Bid darkness turn to day;
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream;
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,
Blest Saviour, then, in love,
Fear and distress remove;
Oh, bear me safe above--
A ransomed soul. Scripture: John 3:14-15
My faith looks up to thee
Far from the world, O Lord, I flee
Author: Cowper Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #734 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Far from the world, O Lord, I flee,
From strife and tumult far;
From scenes where Satan wages still
His most successful war.
2 The calm retreat, the silent shade,
With prayer and praise agree;
And seem by thy sweet bounty made
For those who follow thee.
3 There, if thy Spirit touch the soul,
And grace her mean abode,
Oh, with what peace, and joy, and love,
She communes with her God!
4 Author and guardian of my life,
Sweet source of light divine,
And all harmonious names in one,
My Saviour, thou art mine! Scripture: Genesis 24:63
Far from the world, O Lord, I flee
Thou, Savior, from thy throne on high
Author: Palmer Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #735 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Thou, Saviour, from thy throne on high
Enrobed in light and girt with power,
Dost note the thought, the prayer, the sign,
Of hearts that love the tranquil hour.
2 Oft thou thyself didst steal away
At eventide, from labor done,
In some still, peaceful shade to pray
Till morning watches were begun.
3 Thou hast not, dearest Lord, forgot
Thy wrestling on Judea's hills;
And still thou lovest the quiet spot
Where praise the lowly spirit fills.
4 Now to our souls, withdrawn awhile
From earth's rude noise, thy face reveal;
And, as we worship, kindly smile,
And for thine own our spirits seal.
5 To thee we bring each grief and care,
To thee we fly while tempests lower;
Thou wilt the weary burdens bear
Of hearts that love the tranquil hour.
Thou, Savior, from thy throne on high
Rise up, and bless your God
Author: A. H. Bassett Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #736 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Family Private Devotion Lyrics: 1 Rise up, and bless your God,
Early his praise declare;
Make haste, attend upon his word,
And breathe your midnight prayer.
2 Let your first thoughts ascend,
And reach the Holy One;
Your earliest wishes ever tend
To his celestial throne.
3 Let not the world, nor care,
Nor sense, nor self have place;
Midnight be given to praise and prayer,
Through the Redeemer's grace.
4 Lord, in this solemn hour,
All thoughts be thoughts of thee;
Into my soul thy fullness pour--
Be all in all to me.
5 Keep, ever keep my heart,
Leaving no room for sin;
Wisdom, and strength, and love impart,
Making a heaven within.
6 Oh, may I live to love,
And fear, and honor thee;
Then sing with ransomed hosts above,
In blest eternity.
Rise up, and bless your God

one in love and one in worship –
children of eternity.

one in love and one in worship –
children of eternity.

one in love and one in worship –
children of eternity.

praise we bring to God the Son,
praise to God the Holy Spirit,
praise to you, the three in one.

may we always strive to be
one in love and one in worship –
children of eternity. Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: HYFRYDOL
