All the glo­ry of His grace.
Mine on­ly is the pre­sent hour,
And follow not the pat­tern He
Peace on earth, good will to men.
O ve­ry clean and bright,
Deep re­gret for fol­lies past,
For Thee each fleet­ing hour im­proved,
With will­ing hands and grate­ful heart,
Yields har­vests rich in last­ing good.
To strike the blow.
Let songs of grate­ful prais­es rise
We know to happ­ier realms you’ve gone.
Which we pour forth with ma­ny a tear
Before Thy throne of mer­cy spent
Christian vow and fight un­heeded;
But faith re­plies, His will be done,
Eastertide makes all things new;
Your hoard will do your soul no good:
I, who wast­ed and mis­spent
Long, long has He called thee in vain;

Lent

Will pre­pare us to repent;
Now, Sav­ior, with Thy grace en­dowed,
O Christ, to prove for Thee my love
To the an­gels’ song of love;
To work for Him till night.
Hearts de­based by world­ly cares,
Thus cheer us through this de­sert road,
end
Lightens the dark that round us lies;
But Lord, the will, there lies our bit­ter need;
Through all the dang­ers of the day,
Idol of the earth­ly heart;
Thou mild­est search­er of the heart,
Our hearts are op­en, Lord, to Thee;
Lord, Thy mer­cy still en­treat­ing,
Lent, and re­sumes, it is the Lord!
Christ hath ris­en, rise we, too!
Repaid by giv­ing oth­ers food.
I, who sin­ned again, again,
He called thee in sor­row and pain.
