Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
Great source of life and light!
Thy heavenly grace impart,
Thy Holy Spirit grant, and write
Thy law upon my heart;
My soul would cleave to thee;
Let naught my purpose move;
O, let my faith more steadfast be,
And more intense my love!
2 Long as my trials last,
Long as the cross I bear,
O, let my soul on thee be cast
In confidence and prayer!
Conduct me to the shore
Of everlasting peace,
Where storm and tempest rise no more,
Where sin and sorrow cease.

That they may be one in us.
John 17:21.
Thy Spirit shall unite
Our souls to thee our Head;
Shall form us to thine image bright,
That we thy paths may tread.
2 Death may our souls divide
From these abodes of clay;
But love shall keep us near thy side
Through all the gloomy way.
3 Since Christ and we are one,
Why should we doubt or fear!
If he in heaven hath fixed his throne,
He’ll fix his members there.
420 7s, 6 lines.
In whom we have redemption.
Col. 1:14.
Blesséd are the sons of God;
They are bought with Jesus’ blood;
They are ransomed from the grave
Life eternal they shall have;
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
2 They are justified by grace,
They enjoy the Saviour’s peace;
All their sins are washed away;
They shall stand in God’s great day:
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
3 They are lights upon the earth—
Children of a heavenly birth—
One with God, with Jesus one;
Glory is in them begun;
With them numbered may we be,
Here, and in eternity.
421 8s & 7s.
God, our salvation.
Call Jehovah thy salvation,
Rest beneath th’ Almighty’s shade;
In his secret habitation
Dwell, and never be dismayed.
Guile nor violence can harm thee,
In eternal silence there;
There no tumult shall alarm thee;
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare.
2 Since with pure and firm affection
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings of his protection
He will shield thee from above:
Thou shalt call on him in trouble;
He will hearken; he will save;
Here for grief reward thee double;
Crown with life beyond the grave.
422 8s, 6s & 4s.
The Holy Spirit the Comforter.
Our blest Redeemer, ere he breathed
His tender, last farewell,
A Guide, a Comforter, bequeathed
With us to dwell.
2 He came in tongues of living flame,
To teach, convince, subdue;
All powerful as the wind he came,
As viewless too.
