Hymns for Christian Devotion: Especially Adapted to the Universalist Denomination
Chapin, E. H. (Edwin Hubbell)
Hymns, English; Universalist churches -- Hymns
5 According as her labors rise,
So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.
405. C. M. Campbell's Coll.
"They shall walk and not faint."
1 Mere human power shall fast decay,
And youthful vigor cease;
But they who wait upon the Lord
In strength shall still increase.
2 They with unwearied feet shall tread
The path of life divine,
With growing ardor onward move,
With growing brightness shine.
3 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar;
Their wings are faith and love;
Till, past the cloudy regions here,
They rise to heaven above.
406. C. M. Watts.
Hidden Life of the Christian.
1 O happy soul that lives on high,
While men lie grovelling here!
His hopes are fixed above the sky,
And faith forbids his fear.
2 His conscience knows no secret stings,
While grace and joy combine
To form a life whose holy springs
Are hidden and divine.
3 He waits in secret on his God;
His God in secret sees;
Let earth be all in arms abroad,
He dwells in heavenly peace.
4 His pleasures rise from things unseen,
Beyond this world and time;
Where neither eyes nor ears have been,
Nor thoughts of mortals climb.
5 He wants no pomp nor royal throne
To raise his honors here;
Content and pleased to live unknown,
Till Christ, his life, appear.
407. 8s. M. C. Wesley.
"That they also may be one in us."
1 Lord, from whom all blessings flow,
Perfecting the church below!
Steadfast may we cleave to thee;
Love the mystic union be.
Join our faithful spirits, join
Each to each, and all to thine:
Lead us through the paths of peace,
On to perfect holiness.
2 Sweetly may we all agree,
Touched with softest sympathy:
There is neither bond nor free,
Great nor servile, Lord, in thee;
Love, like death, hath all destroyed
Rendered all distinctions void!
Names, and sects, and parties fall:
Thou, O Christ, art all in all!
408. S. M. Steele.
Religion a Support in Life.
1 Religion can assuage
The tempest of the soul;
And every fear shall lose its rage
At her divine control.
2 Through life's bewildered way,
Her hand unerring leads;
And o'er the path her heavenly ray
A cheering lustre sheds.
3 When reason, tired and blind,
Sinks helpless and afraid,
Thou blest supporter of the mind,
How powerful is thine aid!
4 O, let us feel thy power,
And find thy sweet relief,
To brighten every gloomy hour
And soften every grief.
409. C. M. Tate & Brady.
The Righteous and the Wicked.
