Liturgy and Hymns for the Use of the Protestant Church of the United Brethren, Or Unitas Fratum

2 Our daily bread supply,
While by thy Word we live;
The guilt of our iniquity
Forgive, as we forgive:
From dark temptation's power,
From Satan's wiles, defend;
Deliver in the evil hour,
And guide us to the end.
3 Thine, then, for ever be
Glory and power divine;
The sceptre, throne, and majesty
Of heaven and earth are thine:
Thus, humbly, taught to pray,
By thy beloved Son,
Through him we come to thee, and
All for his sake be done. [say,

FATHER of all, Almighty Lord,
Our Father, and our God,
Since Jesus Christ, the eternal Word,
Assum'd our flesh and blood.

2 Let all with love and filial fear
Thy sacred name adore;
O may thy kingdom soon appear,
And spread the world all o'er.
3 Help us thy pleasure to fulfil,
As done by heavenly powers;
Accomplish in us all thy will,

And let that will be ours.
4 Our souls & bodies feed, we pray,
With food which thou see'st best;
We ask our portion for the day,

And leave to thee the rest.
5 Let mercy pardon all our crimes,
Which justice must condemn;
As some have wrong'd us many times,
And we would pardon them.
6 Let not temptation us befal,
While here our race we run;
But rescue and defend us all

From sin and the evil one.
7 Thine is the kingdom, thine the
O'er angels and o'er men; [power
The glory too, for evermore,
Is thine: Amen, Amen.

2 The God of Abraham praise,
At whose supreme command
From earth I rise,-and seek the
At his right hand:

I all on earth forsake,

[joys

Its wisdom, fame, and power,
And him my only portion make,
My shield and tower.

3 Though nature's strength decay,
And earth and hell withstand,
To Canaan's bounds I urge my way,
At his command:

The watery deep I pass,
With Jesus in my view;
And through the howling wilderness
My way pursue.

4 The goodly land I see,

With peace and plenty bless'd;
A land of sacred liberty,

And endless rest:
There milk and honey flow,
And oil and wine abound;
And trees of life for ever grow,
With mercy crown'd.

5 There dwells the Lord our King,
The Lord our righteousness:
Triumphant o'er the world and sin,
The Prince of peace,

On Sion's sacred height

His kingdom still maintains,
And glorious, with his saints in light,
For ever reigns.

6 He keeps his own secure,

He guards them by his side,
Arrays in garments white and pure
His spotless bride;

With streams of sacred bliss,
With groves of living joys,
With all the fruits of Paradise,
He still supplies.

7 Before the Three in One
They all exulting stand,
And tell the wonders he hath done
Through all their land:
The list'ning spheres attend,
And swell the growing fame,
And sing, in songs which never end,
The wondrous name.

8 The whole triumphant host
Give thanks to God on high;
"Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,"
They ever cry:

Hail, Abraham's God and mine,
I join the heavenly lays,

All might and majesty are thine,
And endless praise.

JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD.

BE of good cheer in all your wants,
And steadfast on God's word rely,
He who the greatest favours grants,
The smallest never will deny :
If God could give his Son for us,
What can he then to us refuse?

228.* T. 106.

DRAW me, O Father, to the Son,
That he may draw me unto thee;
Thy Spirit render me his own,

And rule without control in me;
Shed in my heart thy love abroad,
And keep me in thy peace, O God.

XI. JESUS CHRIST,
231.
T. 22.
MY song shall bless the Lord of all,
My praise ascend to his abode :
Thee, Saviour, by that name I call,
The great Supreme, the mighty
God.

2 Without beginning or decline,
Object of faith, and not of sense;
Eternal ages saw him shine,

He shines eternal ages hence.

3 As much, when in the manger Almighty ruler of the sky, [laid, As when, the six days' work he made, Fill'd all the morning-stars with joy.

4 Of all the crowns Jehovah bears, Salvation is his dearest claim; That gracious sound well-pleas'd he hears,

And owns Immanuel for his

name.

5 A cheerful confidence I feel, [see, My well-plac'd hopes with joy I My bosom glows with heavenly zeal,

To worship him who died for me.

2 My griefs and cares, to thee well known,

My God, I cast on thee alone,

In thee is all my trust:
Since thou dost govern, I'll be still,
Into thy hands resign my will,

And thank thee, prostrate in the
dust.

3 I confidently do believe,
Me, thy poor child, thou wilt not
For thou my Father art: [leave,
Fill thou my soul with love & faith,
Thus I am rich in life and death,
And from thy love nought shall
me part.

O THE delights, the heavenly joys, The glories of the place, [beams Where Jesus sheds the brightest

Of his o'erflowing grace.

Sit smiling on his brow,
And all the glorious ranks above
At humble distance bow.

Dominions, thrones, and powers reBend their bright sceptres down: joice

To see him wear the crown.
4 Upon that dear majestic head,
That cruel thorns did wound,
See what immortal glories shine,
And circle it around.

5 This is the man, the exalted man, Whom we unseen adore;

But when our eyes shall see his face, Our hearts shall love him more. T. 341.

236.

WORTHY, O Lord, art thou,
That every knee should bow,
Every tongue to thee confess;

Universal nature join,
Strong and mighty, thee to bless,
Gracious, merciful, benign.

2 Hail your dread Lord & ours, Dominions, thrones, and powers: Source of power he rules alone:

Veil your faces, prostrate fall, Cast your crowns before his throne, Hail the Cause, the Lord of all. 3 Justice and truth maintain Thy everlasting reign; One with thine almighty Sire,

Partner of an equal throne, King of kings, let all conspire,

Gratefully thy sway to own.

4 Jesus, thou art my King,
To me thy succour bring;
Christ, the mighty One, art thou,
Help for all on thee is laid;
This thy promise claim I now,
Send me down the promis'd aid.

5 Triumph and reign in me,
And spread thy victory;
Sin, and death, and hell control,
Pride, and self, and every foe;
All subdue, thro' all my soul
Conquering and to conquer go.
237.*
T. 97.

THOU reign'st above on heaven's
throne,

The Father's equal, God the Son; The Holy Ghost to us displays Thy majesty and boundless grace, And in the Scriptures clearly doth explain, [deemedst man. That thou, Lord, madest and re

2 With awe & reverence 'fore thee, And at thy name we bow the

knee,

As all, in earth and heaven, join To extol thy majesty divine, And thee, to God the Father's glory, call [all. The great Jehovah, mighty Lord of T. 595.

238.

PREPARE a thankful song
To the Redeemer's name;

His praises should employ each tongue,

And every heart inflame.

2 He laid his glory by,
And dreadful pains endur'd,
That rebels, such as you and I,
From wrath might be secur'd.

3 Upon the cross he died,
Our debt of sin to pay;
The blood and water from his side
Wash guilt and sin away.

4 And now he pleading stands For us, before the throne; And answers all the law demands, With what himself hath done. 5 He sees us willing slaves To sin and Satan's power; But with an outstretch'd arm he saves,

In his appointed hour.

6 The Holy Ghost he sends
Our stubborn souls to move,
To make his enemies his friends,
And conquer them by love.

7 The love of sin departs,
The life of grace takes place,
Soon as his voice invites our hearts
To rise and seek his face.

8 The world and Satan rage, But he their power controls; His wisdom, love, and truth engage Protection for our souls.

9 Tho' press'd, we need not yield,
But shall prevail at length;
For Jesus is our sun and shield,
Our righteousness and strength.

10 Assur'd that Christ our King
We on the field of battle sing,
Will put our foes to flight,
And triumph while we fight.

T. 595. JESUS, my Lord, my God, The God supreme thou art, The Lord of hosts, whose precious Is sprinkled on my heart. [blood 2 Jehovah is thy name; And thro' thy blood applied, Convinc'd and certified I am, There is no God beside.

3 Soon as the Spirit shows
That precious blood of thine,
The happy, pardon'd sinner knows
It is the blood divine.

4 Yea, only he who feels,
My Saviour for me died,

Is certain, that the Godhead dwells
In Jesus crucified.

4 Let every tribe and every tongue | 6 A patient, a victorious mind,

That hear the Saviour's call, Unite in one harmonious song, And hail him Lord of all.

JESUS, thou source of calm repose, Thy like, nor man, nor angel knows, Fairest among ten thousand fair; E'en those, whom death's sad fetters bound,

Whom thickest darkness compass'd round,

Find light and life, if thou appear. 2 Effulgence of the light divine, Ere rolling planets knew to shine, Ere time its ceaseless course began: [come, Thou, when the appointed time was Didst not abhor the virgin's womb, But, God with God, wast man with man.

3 The world, sin, death oppose in vain;

Thou by thy dying death hast slain;
My great deliverer and my God:
Against thee vain is Satan's rage,
In vain doth hell its powers engage,
Nought can withstand thy con-
quering blood.

4 Lord over all, sent to fulfil
Thy gracious Father's sovereign will,

To thy dread sceptre will I bow; With duteous reverence at thy feet, Like humble Mary, lo, I sit;

Speak, Lord, thy servant heareth

now.

5 Renew thine image, Lord, in me;
Lowly and gentle may I be; [dear:

No charms but these to thee are
No anger may'st thou ever find,
No pride in my unruffled mind,

But faith and heaven-born peace
be there.

That, life and all things cast behind,

Springs forth obedient to thy call; A heart that no desire can move, But still to adore, believe, and love, Give me, my Lord, my Life, my. All T. 68. JESUS, who with thee

243.*

Can compared be?

Source of rest and consolation,
Life, and light, and full salvation.
Son of God, with thee
None compar'd can be.

2 Life, thou diedst for me,
From all misery

And distress me to deliver,
And from death to save for ever:
I am by thy blood,
Reconcil'd to God.

3 Highest King and Priest,
Prophet, Lord, and Christ,
Thy dear sceptre is embraced
By me at thy feet abased:
I choose Mary's seat
At thy holy feet.

4 Nigh to thee draw me,
Give me faith on thee
To depend, and daily bolder
Cast all misery on thy shoulder,
Which I feel in me:
Draw me nigh to thee.
5 Grant me steadiness,
Lord, to run my race, [der,
Following thee with love most ten-
So that Satan may not hinder
Me by craft or force:
Further thou my course.
6 By thy Spirit's light
Me instruct aright,
That I watch and pray with fervour
Trusting thee, my soul's preserver:
Love unfeign'd, O Lord,
Unto me afford.

7 Give me courage good, That my wealth and blood I for thee could spend, my Saviour, Hating world and sin for ever; Since for me, my God, Thou didst shed thy blood. 8 When I hence depart, Strengthen thou my heart, And into thy realms convey me, In thy righteousness array me, That at thy right hand Joyful I may stand.
