Behold the Wretch Whose Lust and Wine
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #456 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Behold the wretch whose lust and wine
Had wasted his estate,
He begs a share among the swine,
To taste the husks they eat!
2. I die with hunger here, he cries,
“I starve in foreign lands;
My father’s house has large supplies,
And bounteous are his hands.
3. I’ll go, and with a mournful tongue
Fall down before his face—
Father, I’ve done thy justice wrong,
Nor can deserve thy grace.
4. He said, and hastened to his home,
To seek his father’s love;
The father saw the rebel come,
And all his bowels move.
5. He ran, and fell upon his neck,
Embraced and kissed his son;
The rebel’s heart with sorrow brake
For follies he had done.
6. Take off his clothes of shame and sin,
The father gives command,
“Dress him in garments white and clean,
With rings adorn his hand.
7. A day of feasting I ordain,
Let mirth and joy abound;
My son was dead, and lives again,
Was lost, and now is found. Languages: English Tune Title: THE WAITS' SONG
Behold the Wretch Whose Lust and Wine
A Child For Us Is Born This Day
Author: Unknown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8388 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 A child for us is born this day,
The angels’ king is He;
The Lord who over all has sway,
Nursed here vouchsafes to be.
2 In manger where the asses fed
The Child divine is laid;
Whom they as Christ acknowledgèd,
As King and Lord obeyed.
3 With joy the angels fillèd were,
And with the Lord do sing;
Glory to God above the sphere
In tuneful notes does ring.
4 Then Herod, who with fear was seized,
His envy great displays;
With slaughtered babes must be appeased,
Whose gore his fear allays.
5 Thou who wast born as on this day
Of virgin Mary pure,
Lead and conduct us in the way
To joys which e’er endure. Languages: English Tune Title: THE WAITS' SONG
A Child For Us Is Born This Day
My Life Declines, My Strength Is Gone
Author: Susannah Harrison Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8689 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My life declines, my strength is gone,
Disease and pains prevail;
Death threatens to arrest me soon,
My heart and flesh doth fail.
2 Soon must I leave this body here,
Soon must my soul away;
O awful thought—my soul, prepare
For that tremendous day!
3 Soon must I pass the solemn test,
How soon, my judge can tell!
When He with smiles shall call me blest,
Or frown me down to hell.
4 O how shall I prepare my heart
Eternal life to gain?
Jesus, Thy grace, Thy strength impart,
Or all I do is vain.
5 I cannot for one sin atone—
I swell with pride no more:
All the best duties I have done
I’ve reason to deplore.
6 Jesus, on Thee alone I lean,
Do Thou my soul prepare;
O cleanse my heart from every sin,
And fix Thy dwelling there.
7 Renewed and justified by grace,
Complete I then shall stand,
Before th’almighty Father’s face,
When He my life demand. Languages: English Tune Title: THE WAITS' SONG
My Life Declines, My Strength Is Gone
Thou God Of Love, Thou Ever Blessed
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12487 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thou God of love, Thou ever blest Lyrics: 1 Thou God of love, Thou ever blest
Pity my suffering state;
When wilt Thou set my soul at rest
From lips that love deceit?
2 Hard lot of mine! My days are cast
Among the sons of strife,
Whose never ceasing brawlings waste
My golden hours of life.
3 O might I fly to change my place
How would I choose to dwell
In some wide lonesome wilderness,
And leave these gates of hell!
4 Peace is the blessing that I seek,
How lovely are its charms!
I am for peace; but when I speak,
They all declare for arms.
5 New passions still their souls engage,
And keep their malice strong:
What shall be done to curb thy rage,
O thou devouring tongue!
6 Should burning arrows smite thee thro’,
Strict justice would approve;
But I had rather spare my foe,
And melt his heart with love.

Thou God Of Love, Thou Ever Blessed
Death and Resurrection
Author: Priscilla J. Thompson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14134 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The priests, the elders, and the scribes Lyrics: 1 The priests, the elders, and the scribes,
From council had adjourned;
And Pilate’s proffered sacrifice,
The mob had promptly spurned.
2 And up Golgotha’s rising slope,
A boisterous, cruel, band,
With taunts, and jeers, and foul rebuke,
Leads forth the Son of Man.
3 Oh, what a scene for human eyes!
Our Savior, bowed in grief;
And tortured by the very ones
To whom He brings relief.
4 Close at His side, a swarthy man
Beneath His cross doth bow;
Oh Simon! Ne’er did mortal bend
To nobler task than thou.
5 And, on the brow of Calvary,
With scoffing, and with scorn,
They nailed our Savior to the cross,
With diadem of thorn.
6 ’Tis done, and Joseph now has laid
His body in the tomb;
And none except the guards keep watch,
Amid the somber gloom.
7 But what can bar our holy Lord,
Or cross His wondrous plan?
The stronghold ’bout His lonely tomb.
Shows unbelief of man.
8 When, to the tomb, the women came,
In grief, at break of day,
An angel, ’mid an earthquake vast,
Had rolled the stone away.
9 No power within this great domain,
Can stay our mighty king;
Oh grave, where is thy victory,
Oh death, where is thy sting!
10 Despite the grave, despite the bar,
In triumph He hath flown.
And sitteth now at God’s right hand,
Joint-ruler of His own. Languages: English Tune Title: THE WAITS' SONG
Death and Resurrection
How Strong Thine Arm Is, Mighty God!
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16328 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How strong Thine arm is, mighty God! Lyrics:
1 How strong Thine arm is, mighty God!
Who would not fear Thy name?
Jesus, how sweet Thy graces are!
Who would not love the Lamb?
2 He has done more than Moses did,
Our prophet and our king;
From bonds of hell He freed our souls,
And taught our lips to sing.
3 In the Red Sea by Moses’ hand
Th’Egyptian host was drowned;
But Christ’s own blood hides all our sins,
And guilt no more is found.
4 When thro’ the desert Israel went,
With manna they were fed;
Our Lord invites us to His flesh,
And calls it living bread.
5 Moses beheld the promised land,
Yet never reached the place!
But Jesus brings His followers home
To see His Father’s face.
6 Then shall our love and joy be full,
And feel a warmer flame,
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.
