1 HOW shall I receive Thee,

How meet Thee on Thy way,
Blest hope of every nation,
My soul's delight and stay?
O Jesus, Jesus, give me

Now by Thine own pure light,
To know whate'er is pleasing
And welcome in Thy sight.
2 Thy Zion palms is strewing,
And branches fresh and fair;
My heart to praise awaking,
Her anthem shall prepare:

Perpetual thanks and praises

Forth from my heart shall spring;
I to Thy name the service
Of all my powers will bring.

3 Ye, who with guilty 'terror

Are trembling, fear no more:
With love and grace the Saviour
Shall you to hope restore.
He comes, He comes, who sinners
Shall with the children place,
The children of His Father,

The heirs of life and grace.

Paul Gerhardt, 1653; tr. Arthur T. Russell, 1851

1 A

VOICE upon the midnight air,

Where Kedron's moonlit waters stray,

Weeps forth in agony of prayer,

"O Father, take this cup away!"

2 Ah! Thou who sorrowest unto death,
We conquer in Thy mortal fray;
And earth for all her children saith,
"O God, take not this cup away!"

3 O Lord of sorrow, meekly die;

Thou'lt heal or hallow all our woe;
Thy name refresh the mourner's sigh,
Thy peace revive the faint and low.
4 Great Chief of faithful souls, arise;

None else can lead the martyr-band,
Who teach the brave how peril flies,
When faith, unarmed, uplifts the hand.

50 King of earth, the cross ascend;

O'er climes and ages 'tis Thy throne;
Where'er Thy fading eye may bend,

The desert blooms and is Thine own.

6 Thy parting blessing, Lord, we pray:
Make but one fold below, above;
And when we go the last lone way,
O give the welcome of Thy love.

James Martineau, 1840
