By Whom Shall Jacob Now Arise?

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By whom shall Jacob now arise? For Jacob’s friends are few, And—what should fill us with surprise— They seem divided, too. 2 By whom shall Jacob now arise? For Jacob’s foes are strong. I read their triumph in their eyes, They think he’ll fail ere long. 3 By whom shall Jacob now arise? Can any tell by whom? Say, shall this branch that withered lies, Again revive and bloom? 4 Lord, Thou canst tell—the work is Thine, The help of man is vain. On Jacob now arise and shine, And he shall live again.

When God Descends, A Streaming Fire

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When God des­cends, a stream­ing fire Lyrics: 1 When God des­cends, a stream­ing fire Attends Him through the sky; Thick clouds com­pose His dark at­tire, And vi­vid light­nings fly. 2 Impervious wreaths of smoke sur­round, And hide His aw­ful seat; Incessant thun­ders roar around, Or mur­mur at His feet. 3 ’Twas thus on Sinai’s lof­ty hill, Jehovah once ap­peared; The trum­pet loud pro­claimed His will, And trem­bling Is­ra­el heard. 4 They trem­bling heard, but straight for­got The ter­rors of the day; They scarce­ly left the aw­ful spot, Before they went astray. 5 Their so­lemn vows they soon re­voke, False and un­grate­ful prove; Forget the tem­pest, fire and smoke, Their mak­er’s wrath and love. 6 What Si­nai’s ter­rors ne’er could do, That Si­on’s God per­forms; ’Tis He cre­ates our hearts anew, And strength­ens fee­ble worms. 7 He gent­ly leads our wan­der­ing souls In paths of right­eous­ness; And all our pass­ions He con­trols, By His all-pow­er­ful grace. 8 From Si­nai we to Si­on fly, The ci­ty of our God; Unawed and fear­less we draw nigh, And make it our abode.

The Wounds Which Jesus Once Endured

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The wounds which Jesus once endured Were stigmas of His shame; But now they have for Him procured An everlasting name. 2 The nail-prints, and the lance’s scar The work of hellish spite, His bright triumphal trophies are, And badges of His might. 3 "Behold these hands; at My command Touch them," the Savior cried; "Reach hither, Thomas, reach thy hand, And thrust it in My side." 3 Thomas obeyed the Savior’s word, "My Lord and God," he said; He owned his master and his Lord, And to his God he prayed. 4 O mighty Conqueror of the grave! To Thee be endless praise, For all the proofs Thy mercy gave That Thou Thyself didst raise. 5 For with Thee Lord, we upward tend, With Thee Thy members rise; In Thine ascension we ascend To mansions in the skies. 6 Praise for the proofs that we receive Through Thomas, Lord, from Thee; He doubted that we might believe, And never doubtful be. 7 Praise also for the lesson taught To our fond human love, When Thou didst raise a woman’s thought From earth to Heav’n above. 8 Through Thomas we Thy manhood know; And, through the Magdalene, We learn to touch, while here below, Thy deity unseen.
