HYMN 91
THIS JOYFUL EASTERTIDE
[1]
This joyful Eastertide
Away with sin and sorrow
My Love the crucified
Has sprung to life this morrow
Refrain
Had Christ who once was slain
Ne’er burst His three-day prison
Our faith had been in vain
But now has Christ arisen
[2]
My flesh in hope shall rest
And for a season slumber
Till trump from east to west
Shall wake the dead in number
[3]
Death’s flood has lost his chill
Since Jesus crossed the river
Lover of souls from ill
My passing soul deliver
HYMN 92
I HEAR THY WELCOME VOICE
[1]
I hear Thy welcome voice
That calls me, Lord to Thee,
For cleansing in Thy precious blood
That flowed on Calvary.
Refrain
I am coming Lord!
Coming now to Thee!
Wash me, cleanse me in the blood
That flowed on Calvary!
[2]
Though coming weak and vile,
Thou dost my strength assure;
Thou dost my vileness fully cleanse,
Till spotless all, and pure.
[3]
‘Tis Jesus calls me on
To perfect faith and love,
To perfect hope and peace and trust,
For earth and heav’n above.
[4]
“Tis Jesus Who confirms
The blessed work within,
By adding grace to welcomed grace,
Where reigned the power of sin.
HYMN 93
CHRIST THE LORD IS RISEN AGAIN
[1]
Christ the Lord is risen again;
Christ hath broken every chain;
Hark! The Angels shout for joy,
Singing evermore on high,
Alleluia!
[2]
He, Who gave for us His life,
Who for us endured the strife,
Is our Paschal Lamb today;
We, too, sing for joy, and say
Alleluia!
[3]
He, Who bore all pain and loss
Comfortless upon the cross,
Lives in glory now on high,
Pleads for us, and hears our cry;
Alleluia!
[4]
He Who slumbered in the grave,
Is exalted now to save;
Now through Christendom it rings
That the Lamb is King of kings.
Alleluia!
[5]
He Whose path no records tell,
Who descended into hell;
Who the strong man armed hath bound,
Now in highest heaven is crowned.
Alleluia!
[6]
Now He bids tell abroad
How the lost may be restored,
How the penitent forgiven,
How we, too, may enter Heav’n.
Alleluia!
[7]
Thou, our Paschal Lamb indeed,
Christ, Thy ransomed people feed:
Take our sins and guilt away,
Let us sing by night and day
Alleluia!
HYMN 94
I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR
[1]
I need Thee every hour
Most gracious Lord,
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
Refrain
I need Thee, o I need Thee,
Every hour I need Thee,
O bless me now my Saviour,
I come to Thee.
[2]
I need Thee every hour;
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.
[3]
I need Thee every hour
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.
[4]
I need Thee every hour;
Teach me Thy will
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfill.
HYMN 95
JESUS KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS
[1]
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain
Refrain
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ruptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
[2]
Near the cross a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Shed its beam around me
[3]
Near the cross, o Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o’er me
[1]
Lead kindly Light, amid th’ encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on
The night is dark, and I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.
[2]
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose and see my path; but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
[3]
So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on.
O’er moore and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till
The night is gone,
And with the morn those angel faces smile,
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
HYMN 97
LEAD US, HEAVENLY FATHER
[1]
Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
Through the world’s tempestuous sea;
Guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
For we have no help but Thee,
Yet possessing every blessing
If our God Father be
[2]
Saviour breathe forgiveness o’er us;
All our weakness you do know;
You did treat this world before us;
You did feel its keenest woe,
Lone and dreary, faint and weary,
Through the desert you did go
[3]
Spirit of our God, descending,
Fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
Love with every passion blending,
Pleasure that can never cloy;
Thus provided, pardoned, guided,
Nothing can our peace destroy
HYMN 98
REJOICE THE LORD IS KING
[1]
Rejoice the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore,
Mortals, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say rejoice.
2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When He has purged our stains
He took His seat above
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say rejoice.
3 His Kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o’er earth and heaven;
The key of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say rejoice.
4 He sits at God’s right hand,
Till all his foes submit,
And bow to his command,
And fall beneath his feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say rejoice.
[1]
Sleep on beloved, sleep and take thy rest;
Lay down thy head upon thy Saviour’s breast;
We love thee well but Jesus loves thee best –
Good night! Good night! Good night!
[2]
Calm is thy slumber as an infant’s sleep;
But thou shall wake no more to toil and weep;
Thine is a perfect rest, secure and deep –
Good night! Good night! Good night!
[3]
Until the shadows from this earth are cast,
Until he gathers in his sheaves at last;
Until the twilight gloom be overpast –
Good night! Good night! Good night!
[4]
Until the Easter glory lights the skies,
Until the dead in Jesus shall arise
And he shall come, but not in lowly guise –
Good night! Good night! Good night!
[5]
Until made beautiful by love divine,
Thou in the likeness of Thy Lord shalt shine,
And He shall bring that golden crown of thine –
Good night! Good night! Good night!
HYMN 100
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS
[1]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Ye soldiers of the cross;
Lift high His royal banner,
It must not suffer lost.
From victory unto victory
His army shall He lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,
And Christ is lord in deed.
[2]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The solemn watch word hear;
If while ye sleep He suffers,
Away with shame and fear;
Where’er ye meet with evil,
Within you or without,
Charge for the God of battles,
And put the foe to rout.
[3]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The trumpet call obey;
Forth to the mighty conflict,
In this His glorious day.
Ye that are brave now serve him
Against unnumbered foes;
Let courage rise with danger,
And strength to strength oppose.
[4]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand in His strength alone;
The arm of flesh will fail you
Ye dare not trust your own.
Put on the Gospel armour,
And watching unto prayer;
Where duty calls or danger
Be never wanting there.
[5]
Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long,
This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor’s song:
To him that overcometh,
A crown of life shall be,
He with the King of glory
Shall reign eternally
HYMN 101
TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE
[1]
Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days;
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
[2]
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
[3]
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always only for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
[4]
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite will I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every power as Thou shall choose.
[5]
Take my will and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thy own.
It shall be Thy royal throne.
HYMN 102
WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
[1]
When we walk with the Lord, in the light of his word,
What a glory he sheds on our way!
While we do his goodwill, he abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey
[2]
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear, not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
[3]
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss, not a frown nor a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey
[1]
Where is our God? Where is our God?
Where is our God in Whom we trust!
Renew our faith, in Thee O Lord,
As we sojourn in this vile world;
We see the wicked ones prosper
Whereas the righteous suffer
Where joys should be sorrow prevail
And flowers ere they blossom fade
We’ll ask while life seems so unjust
Where is our God in whom we trust?
HYMN 104
WHO IS ON THE LORD’S SIDE
[1]
Who is on the Lord’s side? Who will serve the King?
Who will be His helpers, other lives to bring?
Who will leave the world side? Who will face the foes?
Who is on the Lord’s side? Who for Him will go?
By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side – Saviour we are Thine!
[2]
Jesus Thou has bought us, not with gold or gem,
But with Thine own life blood, for Thy diadem;
With Thy blessing filling each who comes to Thee,
Thou has made us willing, Thou has made us free.
By Thy great redemption, by Thy grace divine,
We are on the Lord’s side – Saviour we are Thine!
HYMN 105
COURAGE, BROTHER, DO NOT STUMBLE
[1]
Courage, brother, do not stumble,
Though your path be dark as night;
There’s a star to guide the humble:
Trust in God and do the right.
[2]
Though the road be rough and dreary,
And its end far out of sight,
Foot it bravely; strong or weary,
Trust in God and do the right.
[3]
Put no trust in bribes and cunning,
Perish all that fears the light!
Whether losing, whether winning,
Trust in God and do the right.
[4]
Simple rule and safest guiding,
Inward peace and inward light,
Star upon our path abiding;
Trust in God and do the right.
[5]
Some will hate you some will love you,
Some will flatter, some will slight;
fear not men but look above them.
Trust in God and do the right.
HYMN 106
A CHARGE TO KEEP I HAVE
[1]
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify
A never dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky
[2]
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill:
O may it all my power engage
To do my masters will!
[3]
Arm me with jealous care,
As in thy sight to live;
And O Thy servant, Lord, prepare
A strict account to give
[4]
Help me to watch and pray
and on Thyself rely
assured, if I my trust betray
I shall for ever die.
HYMN 107
ALL CREATTURES OF OUR GOD AND KING
[1]
All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
Thou silver moon with softer gleam!
Refrain
O praise Him! O praise Him!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia
[2]
Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in Heaven along,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Thou rising moon, in praise rejoice,
Ye lights of evening, find a voice!
[3]
Thou flowing water, pure and clear,
Make music for thy Lord to hear,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
Thou fire so masterful and bright,
That givest man both warmth and light.
[4]
Dear mother earth, who day by day
Unfoldest blessings on our way,
O praise Him! Alleluia!
The flowers and fruits that in thee grow,
Let them His glory also show
HYMN 108
ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL
Refrain
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.
[1]
Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colors,
He made their tiny wings.
[2]
The purple headed mountains,
The river running by,
The sunset and the morning
That brightens up the sky.
[3]
The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun,
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.
[4]
He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who has made all things well.
[1]
O come and mourn with me awhile
O come ye to the Saviour’s side
O come together let us mourn
Jesus our Lord is crucified
[2]
Have we no tears to shed for Him
While soldiers scoff and Jews deride?
Ah! Look how patiently He hangs
Jesus our Lord is crucified
[3]
Seven times He spake Seven words of love,
And all three hours His silence cried
For mercy on the souls of men
Jesus our Lord is crucified
[4]
O break, o break hard heart of mine!
Thy weak self love and guilty pride
His Pilate and His Judas were;
Jesus our Lord is crucified
HYMN 110
COME, HOLY GHOST, OUR HEARTS INSPIRE
[1]
Come, Holy Ghost, our hearts inspire,
Let us Thine influence prove:
Source of the old prophetic fire,
Fountain of life and love.
[2]
Come, Holy Ghost, for moved by Thee
The prophets wrote and spoke;
Unlock the truth, Thyself the key,
Unseal the sacred book.
[3]
Expand Thy wings, celestial Dove,
Brood o’er our nature’s night;
On our disordered spirits move,
And let there now be light.
[4]
God, through Himself, we then shall know
If Thou within us shine,
And sound with all Thy saints below,
The depths of love divine.
HYMN 111
SAVIOUR BLESSED SAVIOUR
[1]
Saviour blessed Saviour, listen while we sing;
Hearts and voices ringing, praises to our King;
All we have we offer, all we hope to be,
Body, soul, and spirit, all we yield to Thee
[2]
Nearer, ever nearer, Christ, we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration bending low the knee;
Thou for our redemption camst on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow, hast gone up on high.
[3]
Great and ever greater, are Thy mercies here;
True and everlasting are the glories there,
Where no pain nor sorrow, toil nor care is known,
Where the angel legion circle round Thy throne.
[4]
Brighter still and brighter glows the western sun,
Shedding all its gladness o’er our work that’s done;
Time will soon be over, toil and sorrow past,
May we, blessed Saviour, find a rest at last.
HYMN 112
TELL ME THE OLD, OLD STORY
[1]
Tell me the old, old story
Of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory,
Of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story simply,
As to a little child,
For I am weak and weary,
And helpless and defiled.
Refrain
Tell me the old story,
Tell me the old story,
Tell me the old story,
Of Jesus and His love.
[2]
Tell me the story slowly,
That I may take it in,
That wonderful redemption
God’s remedy for sin.
Tell me the story often;
For I forget so soon;
The early dew of morning
Has passed away at noon.
[3]
Tell me the story softly,
With earnest tones and grave;
Remember I am the sinner
Whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me the story always,
If you would really be
In anytime of trouble
A comforter to me.
HYMN 113
SUN OF MY SOUL THOU SAVIOUR DEAR
[1]
Sun of my soul, Thou Saviour dear,
It is not night if Thou be near,
Oh may no earth born cloud arise
To hide Thee from Thy servant’s eyes!
[2]
When the soft dews of kindly sleep
My weary eyelids gently steep,
Be my last thought how sweet to rest
Forever on my Saviour’s breast!
[3]
Abide with me from morn till eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh
For without Thee I dare not die.
[4]
If some poor wandering child of Thine
Have spurned today the voice divine,
Now Lord the gracious work begins;
Let him no more lie down in sleep
[5]
Watch by the sick; enrich the poor
With blessings from Thy boundless store
Be every mourner’s sleep tonight
Like infant’s slumber pure and light
[6]
Come near and bless us when we wake
Ere through the world our way we take
Till in the ocean of Thy love
We lose ourselves in heaven above
HYMN 114
MASTER THE TEMPEST IS RAGING
[1]
Master the tempest is raging,
The billows are tossing high.
The sky is overshadowed with blackness,
No shelter or help is nigh.
Carest not Thou that we perish,
How canst Thou lie asleep.
When each moment so madly is threatening,
A grave is the angry deep.
Refrain
The winds and the waves shall obey my will
Peace be still, peace be still
Whether the wrath of the storm tossed sea
Or demons or men or whatever it be
No waters can swallow the ship where lies
The Master of oceans and earth and skies
They all shall sweetly obey My will
Peace be still, peace be still
They all shall sweetly obey My will
Peace be still, peace be still
[2]
Master with anguish of spirit
I bow in my grief today
The depths of my sad heart are troubled
O, waken and save I pray
Torrents of sin and of sorrow
Seep o’er my sinking soul
And I perish, I perish dear Master
O, hasten and take control
HYMN 115
FOR BEAUTY OF THE EARTH
[1]
For the beauty of the earth
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies.
Refrain
Lord of all, to Thee we raise,
This our hymn of grateful praise.
[2]
For the beauty of each hour,
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.
[3]
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild
[1]
On a hill far away, stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suffering and shame
And I loved that old cross where the
Dearest and best for the world of lost
Sinners was slain.
Refrain
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a Crown.
[2]
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the World,
Has a wondrous attraction for me.
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary
[3]
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
A wondrous beauty I see.
For ‘twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me
HYMN 117
LORD, DISMISS US WITH THY BLESSING;
[1]
Lord, dismiss us with Thy blessing;
Fill our hearts with joy and peace;
Let us each, Thy love possessing,
Triumph in redeeming grace.
O refresh us, o refresh us,
Traveling through this wilderness.
[2]
Thanks we give and adoration
For Thy gospel’s joyful sound.
May the fruits of Thy salvation
In our hearts and lives abound;
Ever faithful, ever faithful
To the truth may we be found.
HYMN 118
THERE IS A FOUNTAIN FILLED WITH BLOOD
[1]
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood,
Lose all their guilty stains.
[2]
The dying thief rejoice to see
That fountain in his day;
And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away.
[3]
O dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed Church of God
Be saved to sin no more.
[4]
E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
And shall be till I die
[5]
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save;
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave.
HYMN 119
MY GOD MY FATHER! WHILE I STRAY
[1]
My God my Father! While I stray
Far from my home, in life’s rough way,
O teach me from my heart to say,
Thy will be done!
[2]
Though dark my path and sad my lot,
Let me be still and murmur not,
Or breathe the prayer divinely taught,
Thy will be done.
[3]
If Thou shouldst call me to resign
What most I pride – it ne’er was mine;
I only yield Thee what was Thine;
Thy will be done.
[4]
Should pining sickness waste away
My life in premature decay,
My Father, still I strive to say
Thy will be done.
[5]
If but my fainting heart be blest
With Thy spirit for its guest,
My God to Thee I leave the rest;
Thy will be done.
HYMN 120
THY WAY, NOT MINE, O LORD
[1]
Thy way, not mine, o Lord,
However dark it be!
Lead me by Thine own hand,
Choose out the path for me.
[2]
Smooth let it be or rough,
It will still be the best,
Winding or straight, it leads
Right onward to Thy rest
[3]
I dare not choose my lot;
I would not if I might:
Choose Thou for me, my God,
So shall I walk aright.
[4]
The kingdom that I seek
Is Thine so let the way
That leads to it be Thine,
Else I must surely stray.
[5]
Take Thou my cup, and it
With joy or sorrow, fill,
As best to Thee may seem;
Choose Thou my good and ill
