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. Used With Tune: ASCRIPTION Text Sources: Hymns on Various Passages of Scriptures, 1804
By Whom Shall Jacob Now Arise?
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. Used With Tune: ASCRIPTION Text Sources: The Holy Year (London: Rivingtons: 1862)
