Rise, my soul, to watch and pray

Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, From thy sleep awake thee, Lest at last the evil day Suddenly o'ertake thee: For the foe, well we know, Oft his harvest reapeth, While the Christian sleepeth. 2 Watch against the Devil's snares, Lest asleep he find thee; For, indeed, no pains he spares To deceive and blind thee; Satan's prey oft are they Who, securely sleeping, No good watch are keeping. 3 Watch against the world, that frowns Darkly to dismay thee; Watch when she thy wishes crowns, Smiling to betray thee; Watch and see thou art free From false friends, that charm thee, While they seek to harm thee. 4 Watch against thyself, my soul, See thou do not stifle Grace that should thy thoughts control, Nor with mercy trifle; Pride and sin lurk within All thy hopes to scatter; List not when they flatter. 7 But, while watching, also see That thou pray unceasing, For the Lord must make thee free, Strength and faith increasing, So to do service true; Let not sloth enslave thee; Pray, and God will save thee. 6 Yea, indeed, He bids us pray, Promising to hear us, E'er to be our staff and stay, Ever to be near us. Ere we plead, will He heed, Strengthen, keep, defend us, And deliv'rance send us.

Not in anger, mighty God

Author: J. G. Albinus Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not in anger, mighty God, Not in anger smite us. We must perish if Thy rod Justly should requite us. We are naught, Sin hath brought, Lord, Thy wrath upon us, Yet have mercy on us! 2 Show me now a Father's love, And His tender patience, Heal my wounded soul, remove These too sore temptations; I am weak, Father, speak Thou of peace and gladness, Comfort Thou my sadness. 3 Weary am I of my pain, Weary with my sorrow, Sighing still for help in vain, Longing for the morrow; Why wilt Thou Tarry now? Wilt Thou friendless leave me, And of hope bereave me? 4 Hence, ye foes! He comes in grace, God hath deigned to hear me; I may come before His face, He is inly near me; He o'erthrows All my foes, Death and hell are vanquished In whose bonds I languished. 5 Father, hymns to Thee we raise, Here and once in heaven! And the Son and Spirit praise, Who our bonds have riven! Evermore We adore Thee whose grace hath stirred us, And whose pity heard us.

Author: Joh. G. Albinus; H. Brueckner Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Cast me not in wrath away As I come before Thee. Why wilt Thou in anger slay? Spare me, I implore Thee. Let Thy grace, Lord, displace All Thy sore displeasure; Mete with mercy's measure. 2 Father, let Thy love be shown, Pardon my transgression. Nor Thy erring child disown; Make me Thy possession. Be my soul Rendered whole, With the oil of gladness, Do Thou cure my sadness. 3 In the pit who thinks of Thee? Who shall praises render? From the grave deliver me, God of mercies tender; Let my lays Sing Thy praise When in regions yonder I Thy goodness ponder. 4 Be ye gone, ye wicked foes, Nor again draw near me; God, the Healer of my woes, Now inclines to hear me; Death and hell, Fierce and fell, In your bonds of anguish I have ceased to languish. 5 Praise, O Father, be for aye Thine on earth, in heaven; Praises likewise be alway To Thee, Savior, given; Holy Dove, God of love, Thou hast heard:--I bless Thee And in praise address Thee.
