God, the giver

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Dear little sister, how d'ye do? Lyrics: Martha. 1 Dear little sister, how d'ye do? Alice. I'm well, I thank you; how are you? Martha. I'm well; but 'tis not you I thank. Alice. Are you so rude? Martha. No! only frank. Thank you for asking, not for health, That you can't give, no more than wealth: 'Tis God that gives us health and breath, And he can save our souls from death. 2 Alice. Who clothes us? God, and keeps us warm, Guards us both day and night from harm. Alice. And does God give us what we eat? Martha. Yes, bread and fruit, herbs, fish, and meat. Alice. But if we're sick? God, if he please, Can make us well and give us ease. Now let us sing commandments ten, Which teach the ways of God to men:-- Both. 3 Have thou no other God than me, Before no idol bow thy knee; Take not the name of God in vain, Nor dare the Sabbath day profane. Give both thy parents honor due, Take heed that thou no murder do; Abstain from words and deeds unclean, Nor steal, though thou art poor and mean; 4 Nor tell a willful lie, nor love it; What is thy neighbor's, dare not covet. These let us keep in word and deed, And God will bless in time of need; Then shall we walk in wisdom's ways, And in God's service spend our days, Forever keeping in the road That leads to glory and to God.

He Dies! the friend

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 647 hymnals First Line: He dies, the friend of sinners dies Lyrics: 1 He dies! the Friend of sinners dies! Lo! Salem’s daughters weep around; A solemn darkness veils the skies, A sudden trembling shakes the ground. Come, saints, and drop a tear or two For Him who groaned beneath your load; He shed a thousand drops for you,— A thousand drops of richer blood. 2 Here’s love and grief beyond degree, The Lord of Glory dies for man! But lo! what sudden joys we see, Jesus, the dead, revives again! The rising God forsakes the tomb; In vain the tomb forbids his rise; Cherubic legions guard Him home, And shout him welcome to the skies. 3 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high your great Deliverer reigns; Sing how He spoiled the hosts of hell And led the monster Death in chains! Say, “Live forever, wondrous King! Born to redeem, and strong to save;” Then ask the monster, Where’s thy sting? And, Where’s thy vict’ry, boasting grave? Used With Tune: DUANE STREET

Hail, Sovereign Love

Author: Jehoida Brewer Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 222 hymnals First Line: Hail, sovereign love that formed the plan Lyrics: 1. Hail, sovereign love that formed the plan To save rebellious, ruined man! Hail, matchless, free, eternal grace, That gave my soul a hiding-place. 2. Against the God that rules the sky, I fought, with weapons lifted high, I madly ran the sinful race, Regardless of a hiding-place. 3. Enwrapped in thick Egyptian night, And fond of darkness more than light, Madly I ran the sinful race, Secure without a hiding place. 4. But thus th’ eternal counsel ran, Almighty Love, arrest that man! I felt the arrows of distress, And found I had no hiding place. 5. Indignant justice stood in view, To Sinai’s fiery mount I flew, But Justice cried with frowning face, This mountain is no hiding place! 6. But a celestial voice I heard, A bleeding Savior then appeared; Led by the Spirit of His grace, I found in Him a hiding-place. 7. On Him the weight vengeance fell, That else sunk a world to hell; Then, O my soul, forever praise Thy Savior God, thy hiding-place! 8. Should storms of sevenfold vengeance roll, And shake this earth from pole to pole; No flaming bolt could daunt my face, For Jesus is my hiding place. 9. A few more rolling suns at most, Shall land me safe on Heaven’s coast. There I shall sing the song of grace, To Jesus Christ, my hiding place!

From Every Spire on Christmas Eve

Author: Eleanor Hunter Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. From every spire on Christmas Eve, the Christmas bells ring clearly out Their message of goodwill and peace, with many a call and silver shout. For faithful hearts, the angels’ song still echoes in the frosty air, And by the altar low they bow, in adoration and in prayer. 2. A thousand blessed memories throng, the stars are holy signs to them, And from the eyes of every child looks forth the Babe of Bethlehem; But there are others, not like these, whose brows are sad, whose hopes are crossed, To whom the season brings no cheer, and life’s most gracious charm is lost. 3. To whom that story, old and sweet, is but a fable at the best, The Christmas music mocks their ears, and life has naught of joy or rest. Oh! for angel’s voice to pierce the clouds of grief that over them rise, The mists of doubt and unbelief that veil the blue of Christmas skies. 4. That they, at last, may see the Light which shines from Bethlehem, and unfold For Christ the treasures of their hearts, richer than spicery or gold. Hope of the ages, draw Thou near, till all the earth shall own Thy sway, And when Thou reignest in every heart it will, indeed, be Christmas Day. Used With Tune: DUANE STREET
