With holy Fear, and humble Song

Appears in 22 hymnals Topics: God's Vengeance; Hell or the Vengeance of God Lyrics: 1 With holy Fear, and humble Song, The dreadful God our Souls adore; Rev'rence and Awe become the Tongue That speaks the Terrors of his Pow'r. 2 Far in the Deep, where Darkness dwells, The Land of Horror and Despair, Justice has built a dismal Hell, And laid her Stores of Vengeance there. [3 Eternal Plagues and heavy Chains, Tormenting Racks, and fiery Coals, And Darts t' inflict immortal Pains, Dy'd in the Blood of damned Souls.] [4 There Satan the first Sinner lies, And roars, and bites his Iron Bands; In vain the Rebel strives to rise, Crush'd with the Weight of both thy Hands.] 5 There, guilty Ghosts of Adam's Race, Shriek out and howl beneath thy Rod; Once they could scorn a Saviour's Grace, But they incens'd a dreadful God. 6 Tremble, my Soul, and kiss the Son; Sinners, obey the Saviour's Call; Else your Damnation hastens on, And Hell gapes wide to wait your Fall.

How they stood round like raging beasts; Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left him in their power. 5 They wound his head, his hands, his feet, Till streams of blood each other meet; By lot his garments they divide, And mock the pangs in which he died. 6 But God his father heard his cry; Rais'd from the dead, he reigns on high; The nations learn his righteousness, And humble sinners taste his grace.

Go, worship at Immanuel's feet

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: God his vengeance and compassion; Vengeance and compassion Lyrics: Go, worship at Immanuel's feet, See in his face what wonders meet! Earth is too narrow to express His worth, his glory, or his grace. [The whole creation can afford But some faint shadows of my Lord; Nature, to make his beauties known, Must mingle colors not her own.] [Is he compared to wine or bread? Dear Lord, our souls would thus be fed That flesh, that dying blood of thine, Is bread of life, is heav'nly wine.] [Is he a tree? The world receives Salvation from his healing leaves; That righteous branch, that fruitful bough, Is David's root and offspring too.] [Is he a rose? Not Sharon yields Such fragrancy in all her fields: Or if the lily he assume, The valleys bless the rich perfume.] [Is he a vine? His heav'nly root Supplies the boughs with life and fruit O let a lasting union join My soul the branch to Christ the vine!] [Is he the head? Each member lives, And owns the vital powers he gives; The saints below and saints above Joined by his Spirit and his love.] [Is he a fountain? There I bathe, And heal the plague of sin and death These waters all my soul renew, And cleanse my spotted garments too.] [Is he a fire? He'll purge my dross; But the true gold sustains no loss: Like a refiner shall he sit, And tread the refuse with his feet.] [Is he a rock? How firm he proves! The Rock of ages never moves; Yet the sweet streams that from him flow Attend us all the desert through.] [Is he a way? He leads to God, The path is drawn in lines of blood; There would I walk with hope and zeal, Till I arrive at Zion's hill.] [Is he a door? I'll enter in Behold the pastures large and green, A paradise divinely fair; None but the sheep have freedom there.] [Is he designed the corner-stone, For men to build their heav'n upon? I'll make him my foundation too, Nor fear the plots of hell below.] [Is he a temple? I adore Th' indwelling majesty and power And still to this most holy place, Whene'er I pray, I turn my face.] [Is he a star? He breaks the night Piercing the shades with dawning light; I know his glories from afar, I know the bright, the morning star.] [Is he a sun? His beams are grace, His course is joy and righteousness; Nations rejoice when he appears To chase their clouds and dry their tears. O let me climb those higher skies, Where storms and darkness never rise! There he displays his power abroad, And shines and reigns th' incarnate God.] Nor earth, nor seas, nor sun, nor stars, Nor heav'n, his full resemblance bears; His beauties we can never trace, Till we behold him face to face. Scripture: Psalm 68:20-22

[The lion with his dreadful roar Affrights thy feeble sheep: Reveal the glory of thy power, And chain him to the deep. Must we indulge a long despair? Shall our petitions die? Our mournings never reach thine ear, Nor tears affect thine eye?] If thou despise a mortal groan, Yet hear a Savior's blood; An Advocate so near the throne Pleads and prevails with God. He brought the Spirit's powerful sword To slay our deadly foes; Our sins shall die beneath thy word, And hell in vain oppose. How boundless is our Father's grace, In height, and depth, and length! He makes his Son our righteousness, His Spirit is our strength. Scripture: Psalm 76
