I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord

Author: Timothy Dwight Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1,323 hymnals Topics: The Glory of the Church Scripture: Isaiah 49:16 Used With Tune: BEALOTH

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 153 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Spirit of faith, come down, reveal the things of God, and make to us the Godhead known, and witness with the blood. 'Tis thine the blood to apply and give us eyes to see, who did for every sinner die hath surely died for me. 2. No one can truly say that Jesus is the Lord, unless thou take the veil away and breathe the living Word. Then, only then, we feel our interest in his blood, and cry with joy unspeakable, "Thou art my Lord, my God!" 3. O that the world might know the all atoning Lamb! Spirit of faith, descend and show the virtue of his name; the grace which all may find, the saving power, impart, and testify to humankind, and speak in every heart. 4. Inspire the living faith (which whosoe'er receive, the witness in themselves they have and consciously believe), the faith that conquers all, and doth the mountain move, and saves whoe'er on Jesus call, and perfects them in love.

The Signal Star

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Far from the east we come Lyrics: 1 Far from the east we come; In these soft heav’ns above We mark the messenger of God, The ensign of His love. No thunder spoke; we heard No voice from plain or height; He kindled in these tranquil skies A gem of silent light. 2 Men of the morning-land Are we; and to the west We turn, that we may follow where Our signal star shall rest. Children of sunrise, we A brighter sunrise hail, Before the splendor of whose rays This sun of ours grows pale. 3 We come to seek the King; For we have seen His star Moving before us in that blue, And beckoning us afar. A gleam of glory bright, An angel sent from God, It led us out, it led us on, Along the shining road. 4 Show us the God we seek, Show us the newborn King, That, kneeling at His cradle, we To Him these gifts may bring. Him King of Heav’n we call, Him King of earth we own; And hail the day when He shall wear Of Heav’n and earth the crown.

O Night Of Nights!

Author: Jean Ingelow, 1820-1897 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O Night of nights! O night Lyrics: 1 O Night of nights! O night Desired of man so long! The ancient heavens fled forth in light To sing thee thy new song; And shooting down the steep, To shepherd folk of old, An angel, while they watched their sheep, Set foot beside the fold. 2 Lo! while as like to die Of that keen light he shed, They looked on his pure majesty, Amazed, and sore bestead; Lo! while with words of cheer He bade their trembling cease, The flocks of God swept sweetly near, And sang to them of peace. 3 All on the hillside grass That fulgent radiance fell, So close those innocents did pass, Their words were heard right well; Among the sheep, their wings Some folding, walked the sod An ordered throng of shining things, White, with the smile of God. 4 The waits of heaven to hear, Oh! what it must have been! Think, Christian people, think, and fear For cold hearts, for unclean; Think how the times go by, How love and longing fail, Think how we live and how we die, As this were but a tale. 5 O tender tale of old, Live in thy dear renown; God’s smile was in the dark, behold That way His hosts came down; Light up, great God, Thy Word, Make the blest meaning strong, As if our ears, indeed, had heard The glory of their song. 6 It was so far away, But Thou couldst make it near, And all its living might display And cry to it, "Be here," Here, in th’ unresting town, As once remote to them, Who heard it when the heavens came down, On pastoral Bethlehem. 7 It was so long ago, But God can make it now, And as with that sweet overflow, Our empty hearts endow; Take, Lord, those words outworn, O! make them new for aye, Speak—"Unto you a child is born," Today—today—today.

Sinners, The Call Obey

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 44 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sinners, the call obey, The latest call of grace; The day is come, the vengeful day, Of a devoted race: Devils and men combine To plague the faithless seed, And vials full of wrath divine Are bursting on your head. 2 Enter into the Rock, Ye trembling slaves of sin, The Rock of your salvation, struck, And cleft to take you in: To shelter the distressed He did the cross endure; O enter in the clefts, and rest In Jesus’ wounds secure. 3 Who would not fear the Lord, Such glorious majesty! His justice stern hath drawn the sword: To His compassion flee; He comes to vengeance take, He comes His wrath to show; He rises terribly to shake The drowsy world below. 4 See how His meteors glare! (The tokens understand) See famine, pestilence and war Hang o’er a guilty land! Signs in the heavens see, And hear the speaking rod; O sinner, judgment points to Thee, Prepare to meet thy God! 5 Terrible God! and true, Thy justice we confess, Thy sorest plagues are all our due, We own our wickedness; Worthy of death and hell, Thee in Thy judgments meet: But lo! we to Thy grace appeal, And crowd Thy mercy seat. 6 Jesus, to Thee we fly From the devouring sword! Our city of defense is high, Our help is in the Lord: Or if the scourge o’erflow, And laugh at innocence, Thine everlasting arms, we know, Shall be our soul’s defense. 7 We in Thy Word believe, And in Thy promise stay: Our life, which still to Thee we give, Shall be us to a prey: Our life with Thee we hide Above the furious blast, And sheltered in Thy wounds abide, Till all the storm is past. 8 Believing against hope, We hang upon Thy grace, Through every lowering cloud look up, And wait for happy days; The days when all shall know Their sins in Christ forgiven, And walk awhile with God below, And then fly up to Heaven.

Come Ye That Seek the Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Come ye that seek the Lord, Him that was crucified, Come listen to the Gospel word, And feel it now applied; To every soul of man The joyful news we show, Jesus for every sinner slain, Is risen again for you. 2. The Lord is risen indeed, And did to us appear, He hath been seen, our living head, By many a Peter here: We, who so oft denied Our master and our God, Have thrust our hand into His side, And felt the streaming blood. 3. Raised from the dead we are The members with their Lord, And boldly in His name declare The soul reviving word; Salvation we proclaim Which every soul may find, Pardon and peace in Jesus’ name, And life for all mankind. 4. O might they all receive The bleeding Prince of Peace! Sinners, the glad report believe, Of Jesus’ witnesses; He lives, who spilt His blood; Believe our record true, The arm, the power, the Son of God Shall be revealed in you.
