When Israel Out of Egypt Went

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #239 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Psalter Hymnal (Red) Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt went, From people of a speech unknown, The Lord among His people dwelt, And there He set His royal throne. 2 The sea behold and fled away, The Jordan's waters backward turned, The lofty mountains and the hills With trembling awe our God discerned. 3 What aileth thee, O troubled sea? Thou Jordan, why thy riven tide? Ye mountains and ye little hills, Why thus dismayed on every side? 4 O tremble, earth, before the Lord, In presence of Jehovah fear, Beneath whose touch the flinty rock Became a fount of waters clear.

All Ye That Seek the Lord Who Died

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #350 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. All ye that seek the Lord who died, Your God for sinners crucified, Prevent the earliest dawn, and come To worship at His sacred tomb. 2. Bring the sweet spices of your sighs, Your contrite hearts, and streaming eyes, Your sad complaints, and humble fears; Come, and embalm Him with your tears. 3. While thus ye love your souls t’employ, Your sorrow shall be turned to joy: Now, let all your grief be o’er! Believe, and ye shall weep no more. 4. An earthquake hath the cavern shook, And burst the door, and rent the rock; The Lord hath sent His angel down, And he hath rolled away the stone. 5. As snow behold his garment white, His countenance as lightning bright: He sits, and waves a flaming sword, And waits upon his rising Lord. 6. The third auspicious morn is come, And calls your Savior from the tomb, The bands of death are torn away, The yawning tomb gives back its prey. 7. Could neither seal nor stone secure, Nor men, nor devils make it sure? The seal is broke, the stone cast by, And all the powers of darkness fly. 8. The body breathes, and lifts His head, The keepers sink, and fall as dead; The dead restored to life appear, The living quake, and die for fear. 9. No power a band of soldiers have To keep one body in its grave: Surely it no dead body was That could the Roman eagles chase. 10. The Lord of Life is risen indeed, To death delivered in your stead; His rise proclaims your sins forgiv’n, And show the living way to Heav’n. 11. Haste then, ye souls that first believe, Who dare the Gospel-Word receive, Your faith with joyful hearts confess, Be bold, be Jesus’ witnesses. 12. Go tell the followers of your Lord Their Jesus is to life restored; He lives, that they His life may find; He lives, to quicken all mankind. The Garden of the Sepulcher 13. It was a night of calls and far replies, A night of trembling for that Serpent head In gulfs that were before the eldest dead— A night of whispering haste along the skies, Prayer, and a wondering down of seraph eyes; While stilled Jerusalem, washed in the moon’s light, Lay like a brood of sepulchers, ghost-white. 14. The dark was dying silverly, that strange, Still hour when Earth is falling toward the day— That hour of spacious silence and delay When all things pose upon the hinge of change. The guardsmen had grown silent on their round, Their fire was sinking, when a crash of sound— Darkness—a reel of Earth—a rush of light— Cleft rocks—then scent of aloes on the night! 15. Their faces turned to faces of the dead, Their spears fell clamoring terribly as they fled. And He stood risen in the guarded place, With empire in His gesture—on His face The hush of muted music and the might That drew the stars down on the ancient night. 16. Tall in the first-light, mystical and pale, He stood as one who dares and cannot fail, As some high conscript of the Bright Abodes, As one still called to travel on the wild roads In Love’s divine adventure—His white face Hushed with heroic purpose for the race; Yet wistful of the men who should deny Him, And wistful of the years that should belie Him. 17. With peace of heart the blind world could not break, He took a path the young leaves keep awake. Glad of the day come back and loving all, He passed across the morning, felt the cool, Sweet, kindling air blown upward from the pool A burning bush was reddening by the wall; An oleander bough was full of stirs, Struck by the robes of unseen messengers. 18. The hills broke purpling, as the sun’s bright edge Pushed slowly up behind a rocky ledge: The hovering dome of the Temple, gray and cold, Burned out with sudden, unexpected gold. A light wind silvered up the olive slope, And all the world was wonder and wild hope! 19. Edwin Markham The Shoes of Happiness and Other Poems, 1921 Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED

Children, in Years and Knowledge Young

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #810 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Children, in years and knowledge young, Your parents’ hope, your parents’ joy, Attend the counsels of my tongue, Let pious thoughts your minds employ. 2. If you desire a length of days, And peace to crown your mortal state, Restrain your feet from impious ways, Your lips from slander and deceit. 3. The eyes of God regard His saints, His ears are open to their cries; He sets His frowning face against The sons of violence and lies. 4. To humble souls and broken hearts God with His grace is ever nigh; Pardon and hope His love imparts, When men in deep contrition lie. 5. He tells their tears, He counts their groans, His Son redeems their souls from death; His Spirit heals their broken bones, They in His praise employ their breath.

David rejoiced in God his strength, Raised to the throne by special grace; But Christ the Son appears at length, Fulfills the triumph and the praise. 2. How great is the Messiah’s joy In the salvation of Thy hand! Lord, Thou hast raised His kingdom high, And giv’n the world to His command. 3. Thy goodness grants whate’er He will, Nor doth the least request withhold; Blessings of love prevent Him still, And crowns of glory, not of gold. 4. Honor and majesty divine Around His sacred temples shine; Blessed with the favor of Thy face, And length of everlasting days. 5. Thine hand shall find out all His foes; And as a fiery oven glows With raging heat and living coals, So shall Thy wrath devour their souls. Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED

Just are Thy ways, and true Thy Word, Great rock of my secure abode: Who is a god beside the Lord?

He lives, and blessèd be my rock! The God of my salvation lives: The dark designs of hell are broke; Sweet is the peace my Father gives. 4. Before the scoffers of the age I will exalt my Father’s name, Nor tremble at their mighty rage, But meet reproach and bear the shame. 5. To David and his royal seed Thy grace for ever shall extend; Thy love to saints in Christ their head Knows not a limit, nor an end. Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED

Lord, What Was Man?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3975 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Lord, what was man, when made at first Lyrics: 1. Lord, what was man, when made at first, Adam the offspring of the dust, That Thou shouldst set him and his race But just below an angel’s place? 2. That Thou shouldst raise his nature so, And make him lord of all below; Make every beast and bird submit, And lay the fishes at his feet? 3. But O! what brighter glories wait To crown the second Adam’s state! What honors shall Thy Son adorn, Who condescended to be born! 4. See Him below His angels made; See Him in dust amongst the dead, To save a ruined world from sin; But He shall reign with power divine. 5. The world to come, redeemed from all The mis’ries that attend the fall, New made and glorious, shall submit At our exalted Savior’s feet. Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED
