About this ebook
Preface
In the name of the Lord, Jesus, the publishers and compilers would lay upon the altar of praise, and present to the household of faith the second volume of the Hymns of the Christian Life.
Our special acknowledgements are due to many musical composers and publishers for the use of valuable copyrights in this collection, including Messrs. Sweeney, Kirkpatrick and Hood, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Dr. Gordon, and the publishers of the Coronation Hymnal, Mr. E. O. Excell, of Chicago; The Hoffman Music Co., of Cleveland; Messrs. Myland & Kirk, of Ohio; Mrs. Joseph E. Knapp, Miss Pollard, Mr. J. E. Burke, Mr. I. Showalter, Mr. Hillyer, Dr. Steiner, Warren Collins, and others.
Still more especially are we indebted to Miss May Agnew and Miss Louise Shepard, who have given their time, toil and valuable musical experience to the arranging of these pieces and the superintendence of the publication.
Many of the imperfections and defects which may be found in this first edition are due to the haste, with which at the last, the volume was unavoidedly hurried through the press so as to be ready for the Old Orchard Convention of 1897. These, faults we trust, will be wholly removed from the later editions.

Hymns of the Christian Life
No. 1. My Holy Guest
5 Heal my sick and broken body,
Guide my stumbling steps each hour;
Be my Comforter and teacher,
Fill and use me by Thy power.
6 Lead me on to all Thy fulness.
Bring me to Thy promised Rest;
Holy Ghost I bid Thee welcome,
Be my Holy, heavenly Guest.
Copyright, 1897, by A. B. Simpson.
No. 2. The Comforter has Come
Copyright, 1890, by Wm. J. Kirkpatrick.
No. 3. O Comforter, Gentle and Tender
Copyright, 1897, by A. B. Simpson.
No. 4. Ho! Every One that is Thirsty
By per., E. O. Excell.
No. 5. Lord God, the holy Ghost
2. We meet with one accord
In our appointed place,
And wait the promise of our Lord,
The Spirit of all grace.
3. Like mighty rushing wind
Upon the waves beneath,
Move with one impulse every mind,
One soul one feeling breathe.
4. The young, the old inspire
With wisdom from above;
And give us hearts and tongues of fire,
To pray, and praise, and love.
5. Spirit of light! explore,
And chase our gloom away,
With lustre, shining more and more
Unto the perfect day.
No. 6. The Holy Ghost is Come
(Dennis s.m.)
The Holy Ghost is come—
We feel His presence here!
Our hearts would now no longer roam,
But bow in filial fear.
This tenderness of love,
This hush of solemn power—
’Tis heaven descending from above
To fill this favored hour!
Earth’s darkness all has fled,
Heaven’s light serenely shines;
And every heart, divinely led,
To holy thought inclines.
No more let sin deceive,
Nor earthly cares betray:
Oh, let us never, never grieve
The Comforter away!
Rev. F. Bottome, D.D.
No. 7. Breathing Out and Breathing In
Copyright, 1897, by A. B. Simpson
4 I am breathing out my sorrow,
On Thy kind and gentle breast;
Breathing in Thy joy and comfort,
Breathing in Thy peace and rest.
5 I am breathing out my sickness,
Thou hast borne its burden too;
I am breathing in Thy healing,
Ever promised, ever new.
6 I am breathing out my longings,
In Thy listening, loving ear,
I am breathing in Thy answers,
Stilling every doubt and fear.
7 I am breathing every moment,
Drawing all my life from Thee;
Breath by breath I live upon Thee,
Blessed Spirit, breathe in me.
No. 8. Be Filled With the Spirit
Copyright, 1894, by Myland & Kirk.
No. 9. The Wondrous River
Copyright, 1897, by A. B Simpson.
5 Waters to the loins, we’ve reached the mighty river,
’Tis the promised baptism of the Holy Ghost.
Plunge into the torrent, let it bear us onward
’Till our lives repeat the days of Pentecost.
6 Bright and beauteous river, on its banks are growing
Trees of bounteous verdure, fruits so rich and rare;
Leaves of life and healing, every joy and blessing,—
All the founts of love and Paradise are there.
7 Water overhead O blessing vast and boundless!
Spirit without measure, flowing full and free!
Let us know Thy fullness, pour the floods upon us
’Till we lose ourselves, and all our life, in Thee.
No. 10. Spirit Divine
5 Come as the dove—and spread Thy wings,
The wings of peaceful love;
And let Thy church on earth become
Blest as the church above.
6 Come as the wind—with rushing sound
And Pentecostal grace;
That all of woman born may see,
The glory of Thy face.
No. 11. The Comfort of the Holy Spirit (Acts 9:31)
