O Thou great Teach-er from the skies, Who liv'd and died for men;

U. C. Burnap

Teach us with

Thee to sym- pa-thize, And be

as Thou wast then, And be as Thou wast then.

53

O THOU great Teacher from the skies,
Who lived and died for men;
Teach us with Thee to sympathize,
And be as Thou wast then.

2 It was the glory of Thy heart,
Whate'er Thou hadst to give;
For others' sufferings to impart,
For others' good to live.

3 Be Thou in us a living soul;

Be Thou our spirit's power;

Its secret thought, its life's control,
To guide it every hour.

4 We need like Thee a spirit true,
A just and generous mind,
Which seeks, in all it has to do,
The good of all mankind.

Thomas Cogswell Upham 1872

54

JESUS, our Lord, how rich Thy grace!
Thy bounties how complete!
How shall we count the matchless sum?
How pay the mighty debt?

2 High on a throne of radiant light
Dost Thou exalted shine;
What can our poverty bestow,

When all the worlds are Thine?
3 But Thou hast brethren here below,
The partners of Thy grace,

And wilt confess their humble names
Before Thy Father's face.

4 In them Thou mayst be clothed and fed, And visited and cheered;

And in their accents of distress
Our Saviour's voice is heard.

Philip Doddridge 1740

O GOD of mercy, God of might,
In love and pity infinite,
Teach us, as ever in Thy sight,
To live our life to Thee.

2 And Thou who cam'st on earth to die,
That fallen man might live thereby,
O hear us, for to Thee we cry,
In hope, O Lord, to Thee.

3 Teach us the lesson Thou hast taught, To feel for those Thy blood hath bought; That

every word, and deed, and thought May work a work for Thee.

4 For all are brethren, far and wide, Since Thou, O Lord, for all hast died: Then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,

To love them all in Thee.

5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
Whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share;
May we, where help is needed, there
Give help as unto Thee.

6 And may Thy Holy Spirit move
All those who live, to live in love,
Till Thou shalt greet in heaven above
All those who give to Thee.

Bend -ing before Thee, let our hymn go up-wards, Bright as the sun-shine break-ing from the

darkness, Thee we im-plore to guard us on our journey, Lord God Almighty.

[blocks in formation]

2 Guard us in toil when fainting in the noonday,
Guard us reposing under evening shadows,
Guard us when midnight walks abroad in heaven,
Lord God Almighty.

3 If the dread foe assail us with temptation,
Hear us, O Lord, and save us from his danger,
O keep us pure, O lead us to Thy presence,
Lord God Almighty.

4 Glory to Thee, O Father Everlasting!
Glory to Thee, O Son and Holy Spirit!
One in Three Persons, Infinite, Unchanging!
Lord God Almighty.

Sav-iour, again to Thy dear Name we raise, With one ac-cord, our part-ing hymn of praise;

2

We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease, Then, low-ly kneel-ing, wait Thy word of peace.

бо

SAVIOUR, again to Thy dear Name we raise,
With one accord, our parting hymn of praise;
We stand to bless Thee ere our worship cease,
Then, lowly kneeling, wait Thy word of peace.
2 Grant us Thy peace upon our homeward way;
With Thee began, with Thee shall end the day;
Guard Thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon Thy name.

3 Grant us Thy peace, Lord, through the coming night,
Turn Thou for us its darkness into light;

From harm and danger keep Thy children free,
For dark and light are both alike to Thee.

4 Grant us Thy peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow, and our stay in strife;
Then, when Thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to Thine eternal peace.
