作詞作品:
Amid the Doc­tors of the Law
Another Year Has Now Be­gun
Arm These Thy Sol­diers, Migh­ty Lord
Ark of God in Safe­ty Rode, The
As Some Fair Ri­ver, from Pure Fount
At Thy Trans­fi­gu­ra­tion, Lord
"Awake! Awake!" the Apos­tle Cries
"Beloved Phy­si­cian"! Ti­tle True
Banner of the Cross, The
Blest Be, O Lord, the Grace of Love
Bright Bea­con on an Is­land Rock
Buried in Hea­then Dark­ness Lay
Cephas and Pe­ter—Heav’n Taught Name
Crowd Thronged Christ with Pres­sure Rude, The
Daughter of Zi­on, Shout with Joy
Day Is Come, the Sol­emn Day of Doom, The
Day Is Gent­ly Sink­ing to a Close, The
Down from the Moun­tain Je­sus Came
Elisha’s Servant and His Staff
Father of All, from Land and Sea
Father of All, in Whom We Live
O God, in Whose All-Search­ing Eye
Father of Lights! to Thee We Pray
Father, We Hum­bly Pray
Fig Tree Near the Way­side Showed, The
Five Peb­bles from the Brook
Four Ri­vers from One Ho­ly Fount Arise
From Je­su’s Eyes, Be­side the Grave
Galilean Fish­ers Toil, The
Giver of Law Is God’s Dear Son
Glory Be to God on High
"Go, Show Your­selves un­to the Priests"
God, When the Hea­vens and Earth Were Made
Gracious Spir­it, Ho­ly Ghost
Hail! the Wo­man’s Pro­mised Seed
Hark! the Sound of Ho­ly Voic­es
Hearts to Hea­ven and Voic­es Raise
Hallelujah! Christ Is Ris­en
Heavens De­clare Thy Glo­ry, Lord, The
Heav’nly Fa­ther, Send Thy Bless­ing
Holy, Ho­ly, Ho­ly Lord, God of Hosts
Holy, Ho­ly, Ho­ly Lord, Ma­ker of This World­ly Frame
Holy Jesus, Migh­ty Lord
Holy of Ho­lies! Aw­ful Name
How Bless­èd Is the Force of Pray­er
How Blest Are Hearts, Which Christ the Lord
How Blest the Days That An­gels See
How Dread­ful Is This Place!
How Fair and Plea­sant Is the Sight
How Won­drous and Mys­te­ri­ous Are
I Need to Be Bap­tized of Thee
In All Our Wan­der­ings Here Be­low
In Sor­row and Dis­tress
In the Wil­der­ness Pre­pare Thee
In Thy Glo­ri­ous Re­sur­rect­ion
It Will Not Come
Jerusalem! Thy Judge Will Come
Lilies in the Field That Grow, The
Lo He Comes! Whom Ev­ery Na­tion
Lord, Be Thy Word My Rule
Lord, for Thy Grace’s Show­ers
Lord, May We Ne­ver, Save to One
Lord, Not for Store of World­ly Wealth
Lord, Not with Poor and Pal­try Gifts
Lord, Who Didst the Pro­phets Teach
Man Fell from Grace by Car­nal Ap­pe­tite
Mankind in Ad­am Fell
Moses from Si­nai Brings the Law
Night Is Dark, the Winds Are Nigh, The
No Long­er Thou in Hu­man Form
Not Bound by Chains, nor Pent in Cells
Not Gifts or Pro­phe­cy Can Save
O Day of Rest and Glad­ness
O Fear Not Though Be­fore Thee Lies
O Je­ru­sa­lem Be­lov­èd
O King of Kings, We Thee Adore
O Lord, How Al­tered Is the Face
O Lord of Heav’n and Earth and Sea
O Lord, Our Strength in Weak­ness
O Lord, Who Didst a Sam­u­el Give
O Lord, Who in Thy Love Di­vine
O Lov­ing Je­su, for Us Cru­ci­fied
O Sav­ior, Who at Nain’s Gate
O Son of God, Eter­nal Word
O Thou, the Way, the Truth, the Life
O Won­drous Love, that He, Whose Bliss
On Ev­ery New-Born Babe of Earth
On the Dark Bil­lows of the World
Once All the Na­tions Were as One
Once with a Le­gion of Foul Fiends Pos­sessed
Our Hearts and Voic­es Let Us Raise
Peace to This House!
Praised Be Thy Ho­ly Name, O God
"Repent, Re­pent," the Bap­tist Cries
Saved by Thy Blood, the Red Sea Passed
See He Comes! Whom Ev­ery Na­tion
See, the Con­quer­or Mounts in Tri­umph
Shall We—the Liegemen of the Lord
Sing, O Sing, This Bless­èd Morn
Son of God, In­car­nate Word
Songs of Thank­ful­ness and Praise
Sun Is Sink­ing in the West, The
There Was of Old a Place
They Have No Wine
Thou Bidd’st Us "Vi­sit in Dis­tress"
Thou Hast a Tem­ple Found­ed
Though Days Are Evil, and as Slaves
To All the Saints of God on Earth
To Plead for Us with His Own Blood
Today, O Lord, the Ho­ly James
Today with Bright Ef­ful­gence Shine
"Touch Me Not," to Ma­ry Said
Tribes of Is­ra­ël Revered, The
Upon the Sixth Day of the Week
Grave Its­elf a Gar­den Is, The
Virtues of Thy Saints, O Lord, The
We All, O God, Un­right­eous Are
We Hear the Toll­ing Bell
We, in Our­selves, Un­right­eous Are
When Abraham up­on the Wood
When from the Bo­dy Freed by Death
When from the Ci­ty of Our God
When Da­vid and His Faith­ful Friends
When the Ar­chi­tect Al­migh­ty
When the Lord of Hosts As­cend­ed
When Thou Hadst Blest the Loaves
When Thou, O Lord, Didst Send the Twelve
When Two Friends on Eas­ter Day
When We the Migh­ty Acts of Jo­shua See
Who Is This That Comes from Edom?
Winds and Bil­low Wild­ly Roar, The
Wounds Which Je­sus Once En­dured, The
