Let God Arise in All His Might

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let God arise in all His might, And put the troops of hell to flight, As smoke that sought to cloud the skies Before the rising tempest flies. 2. He comes arrayed in burning flames, Justice and Vengeance are His names; Behold His fainting foes expire, Like melting wax before the fire. 3. He rides and thunders through the sky, His name, Jehovah, sounds on high; Sing to His name, ye sons of grace; Ye saints, rejoice before His face. 4. The widow and the fatherless Fly to His aid in sharp distress; In Him the poor and helpless find A Judge that’s just, a Father kind. 5. He breaks the captive’s heavy chain, And prisoners see the light again; But rebels that dispute His will Shall dwell in chains and darkness still. 6. Kingdoms and thrones to God belong; Crown Him, ye nations, in your song: His wondrous names and powers rehearse; His honors shall enrich your verse. 7. He shakes the heav’ns with loud alarms; How terrible is God in arms! In Israel are His mercies known, Israel is His peculiar throne. 8. Proclaim Him King, pronounce Him blest; He’s your Defense, your Joy, your Rest: When terrors rise and nations faint, God is the Strength of every saint.

Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith

Author: Nicolaus Herman; Rev. Matthias Loy, D. D. Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yea, as I live, Jehovah saith, I do not wish the sinner's death, But that He turn from error's ways, Repent and live thro' endless days. 2 Hence Christ His foll'wers gave command: Go forth and preach in every land; Pardon to every soul extend That mourns, believes, and will amend. 3 Whose sins soever ye remit, I truly pardon and acquit; Whose sins soever ye retain, Condemned and guilty shall remain. 4 What ye shall bind, that bound shall be, What ye shall loose, that shall be free; To all alike the Keys are given To ope and close the gates of heaven. 5 They who believe, when ye proclaim The joyful tidings in my name, That I for them my blood have shed, Are free from guilt and judgment dread. 6 The words which absolution give Are His who died that we might live; The minister whom Christ has sent Is but His humble instrument. 7 However great our sin may be, The absolution sets us free, Appointed by God's own dear Son To bring the pardon He has won. 8 When ministers lay on their hands, Absolved by Christ the sinner stands; He who by grace the Word believes, The purchase of His blood receives. 9 This is the Power of Holy Keys, It binds and doth again release; The Church retains them at her side, Our Mother, and Christ's holy Bride. 10 Let those who stings of conscience bear, Whom sin would drive to dark despair, To Jesus come with trustful mind. And peace in absolution find. 11 All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee, For absolution full and free, In which Thou showest forth Thy grace; From false indulgence guard our race. 12 Praise God, the Father and the Son And Holy Spirit, Three in One, As 'twas, is now, and so shall be, World without end, eternally.

Where'er the Blustering North Wind Blows

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Where’er the blustering north wind blows Lyrics: 1 Where’er the blustering north wind blows, And spreads its frosts or fleecy snows; Where’er the sun with quickening ray, Shines all abroad and gives the day— 2 Where’er the lesser orbs of light Dart forth their beams and gild the night, There may His heralds loud proclaim, The Savior’s love, the Savior’s name. 3 In work so pleasing, so benign, Let all the saints in concert join; A name so great, a love so strong, In every world demands a song.
