The Lord is Risen indeed
Author: Doddridge Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLVIII (1792) Meter: Irregular Topics: The Resurrection of Christ, who arose for our Justification First Line: Yes, the Redeemer rose Lyrics: 1 Yes, the Redeemer rose;
The Saviour left the dead;
And o'er our hellish foes
High rais'd his conq'ring head:
In wild dismay
The guards around
Fall to the ground,
And sink away.
2 Lo! the angelic bands
In full assembly meet,
To wait his high commands,
And worship at his feet:
Joyful they come,
And wing their way
From realms of day
To Jesus' tomb.
3 Then back to heav'n thy fly,
The joyful news to bear:
Hark! as they soar on high,
What music fills the air!
Their anthems say,
"Jesus who bled
Hath left the dead;
He rose to day."
4 Ye mortals, catch the sound,
Redeem'd by him from hell;
And send the echo round
The globe on which you dwell;
Transported cry,
"Jesus who bled
Hath left the dead
No more to die."
5 All hail, triumphant Lord,
Who sav'd us with thy blood!
Wide be thy name ador'd
Thou rising, reigning God!
With thee we rise,
With thee we reign,
And empires gain
Beyond the skies. Scripture: Matthew 12:40 Languages: English
The Lord is Risen indeed
Behold the Grace appears
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.III (1766) Topics: Sanctification, Justification and Glory Lyrics: 1 Behold, the Grace appears,
The Promise is fulfill'd;
Mary, the Wond'rous Virgin bears,
And Jesus is the Child.
[2 The Lord, the Highest God,
Calls him his only Son;
He bids Him rule the Lands abroad,
And gives him David's Throne.
3 O'er Jacob shall he reign
With a peculiar Sway;
The Nations shall his Grace obtain,
His Kingdom ne'er decay.]
4 To bring the glorious News,
A heavenly Form appears;
He tells the Shepherds of their Joys,
And banishes their Fears.
5 Go, humble Swains, said he,
To David's City fly,
The promis'd Infant, born To day
Doth in a Manger lie.
6 With Looks and Hearts serene,
Go visit Christ your King;
And strait a flaming Troop was seen:
The Shepherds heard them sing.
7 Glory to God on High,
And heav'nly Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men, to Angels Joy,
At the Redeemer's Birth.
[8 In Worship so divine,
Let Saints employ their Tongues;
With the Celestial Host we join,
And loud repeat their Songs.
9 Glory to God on High,
And heav'nly Peace on Earth,
Good Will to Men, to Angels Joy,
At our Redeemer's Birth.] Scripture: Luke 1:30-38 Languages: English
Behold the Grace appears
Naked as from the Earth we came
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.V (1766) Topics: Justification and Glory Lyrics: 1 Naked, as from the Earth we came,
And crept to Life at first,
We to the Earth return again,
And mingle with our Dust.
2 The dear Delights we here enjoy,
And fondly call our own,
Are but short Favours borrow'd Now,
To be repaid Anon.
3 'Tis God that lifts our Comforts high,
Or sinks them in the Grave,
He gives, and (blessed by his Name)
He takes but what he gave.
4 Peace, all our angry Passions, then
Let each rebellious Sigh
Be silent at his Sov'reign Will,
And ev'ry Murmur die.
5 If smiling Mercy crown our Lives,
Its Praises shall be spread,
And we'll adore the Justice too
That strikes our Comforts dead. Scripture: Job 1:21 Languages: English
Naked as from the Earth we came
Awake my Heart, arise my Tongue
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XX (1766) Topics: Justification and Sanctification Lyrics: 1 Awake my Heart, arise my Tongue,
Prepare a tuneful Voice;
In God the Life of all my Joys
Aloud will I rejoice.
2 'Tis he adorn'd my naked Soul,
And made Salvation mine;
Upon a poor polluted Worm
He makes his Graces shine.
3 And lest the Shadow of a Spot
Should on my Soul be found,
He took the Robe the Saviour wrought,
And cast it all around.
4 How far the heav'nly Robe exceeds
What earthly Princes wear!
These Ornaments, how bright they shine!
How white the Garments are!
5 The Spirit wrought my Faith and Love,
And Hope, and ev'ry Grace,
But Jesus spent his Life to work
The Robe of Righteousness.
6 Strangely, my Soul, art thou array'd
By the great Sacred Three;
In sweetest Harmony of Praise
Let all thy Pow'rs agree. Scripture: Isaiah 61:10 Languages: English
Awake my Heart, arise my Tongue
Thus far the Lord has led me on
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXX (1766) Topics: Justification and Sanctification Lyrics: 1 Thus far the Lord has led me on,
Thus far his Pow'r prolongs my Days,
And ev'ry Ev'ning shall make known
Some fresh Memorial of his Grace.
2 Much of my Time has run to waste,
And I perhaps am near my Home;
But he forgives my Follies past,
He gives me Strength for Days to come.
3 I lay my Body down to Sleep,
Peace is the Pillow for my Head;
While well-appointed Angels keep
Their watchful Stations round my Bed.
4 In vain the Sons of Earth or Hell,
Tell me a thousand frightful Things,
My God in Safety makes me dwell
Beneath the Shadow of his Wings.
[5 Faith in his Name forbids my Fear;
O may thy Presence ne'er depart!
And in the Morning make me hear
The Love and Kindness of thy Heart.
6 Thus when the Night of Death shall come,
My Flesh shall rest beneath the Ground,
And wait thy Voice to rouse my Tomb,
With sweet Salvation in the Sound.] Scripture: Psalm 4:8 Languages: English
Thus far the Lord has led me on
The Lord on high proclaims
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXV (1766) Topics: Justification and Sanctification Lyrics: 1 The Lord on high proclaims
His Godhead from his Throne,
Mercy and Justice are the Names
By which I will be known.
2 Ye dying Souls that sit
In Darkness and Distress,
Look from the Borders of the Pit
To my recov'ring Grace.
3 Sinners shall hear the Sound;
Their thankful Tongues shall own,
Our Righteousness and Strength is found
In Thee, the Lord, alone.
4 In Thee shall Isr'el trust,
And see their Guilt forgiv'n;
God will pronounce the Sinners just,
And take the Saints to Heav'n. Scripture: Isaiah 45:21-25 Languages: English
The Lord on high proclaims
No more, my God, I boast no more
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CIX (1766) Topics: Justification by Works Lyrics: 1 No more, my God, I boast no more
Of all the Duties I have done;
I quit the Hopes I held before
To trust the Merits of thy Son.
2 Now for the Love I bear his Name,
What was my Gain I count my Loss;
My former ride I call my Shame,
And nail my Glory to his Cross.
3 Yes, and I must and will esteem
All Things but Loss for Jesus' Sake:
O may my Soul be found in him,
And of his Righteousness partake!
4 The best Obedience of my Hands
Dares not appear before thy Throne,
But Faith can answer thy Demands,
By pleading what my Lord has done.
Scripture: Philippians 3:7-9 Languages: English
No more, my God, I boast no more
Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.CXL (1766) Topics: Justification Lyrics: 1 Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n,
And make their empty Boast,
Of inward Joys, and Sins forgiv'n,
While they are Slaves to Lust.
2 Vain are our Fancies, airy Flights,
If Faith be cold and dead,
None but a living Pow'r unites
To Christ the living Head.
3 'Tis Faith that changes all the Heart,
'Tis Faith that works by Love;
That bids all sinful Joys depart,
And lifts the Thoughts above.
4 'Tis Faith that conquers Earth and Hell,
By a celestial Pow'r;
This is the Grace that shall prevail
In the decisive Hour.
5 Faith must obey her Father's Will,
As well as trust his Grace;
A pard'ning God is jealous still,
For his own Holiness.
6 When from the Curse he sets us free,
He makes our Natures clean,
Nor would He send his Son to be
The Minister of Sin.
7 His Spirit purifies our Frame,
And seals our Peace with God;
Jesus, and his Salvation came
By Water and by Blood. Languages: English
Mistaken Souls! that dream of Heav'n
How sad our State by Nature is!
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XC (1766) Topics: Justification and Sanctification Lyrics: 1 How sad our State by Nature is!
Our Sin how deep it stains!
And Satan binds our captive Minds
Fast in his slavish Chains.
2 But there's a Voice of sov'reign Grace
Sounds from the sacred Word,
Ho, ye despairing Sinners come,
And trust upon the Lord.
3 My Soul obeys th' Almighty Call,
And runs to this Relief;
I would believe thy Promise, Lord!
Oh, help my Unbelief.
[4 To the dear Fountain of thy Blood,
Incarnate God, I fly,
Here let me wash my spotted Soul
From Crimes of deepest Dye.]
5 Stretch out thine Arm, victorious King
My reigning Sins subdue,
Drive the old Dragon from his Seat,
With all his hellish Crew.
6 A guilty, weak, and helpless Worm,
Into thy Arms I fall;
Be thou my Strength and Righteousness,
My Jesus, and my All. Languages: English
How sad our State by Nature is!
Let ev'ry mortal Ear attend
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.VII (1766) Topics: Justification and Sanctification Lyrics: 1 Let ev'ry mortal Ear attend,
And ev'ry Heart rejoice,
The Trumpet of the Gospel sounds
With an inviting Voice.
2 Ho, all ye hungry starving Souls,
That feed upon the Wind,
And vainly strive with earthly Toys
To fill an empty Mind:
3 Eternal Wisdom has prepar'd
A Soul reviving Feast,
And bids your longing Appetites
The rich Provision taste.
4 Ho, ye that pant for living Streams,
And pine away and die;
Here you may quench your raging Thirst
With Springs that never dry.
5 Rivers of Love and Mercy here
In a rich Ocean join;
Salvation in Abundance flows,
Like Floods of Milk and Wine.
[6 Ye perishing and naked Poor,
Who work with mighty Pain,
To weave a Garment of your own,
that will not hide your Sin;
7 Come naked, and adorn your Soul,
In Robes prepar'd by God,
Wrought by the Labours of his Son,
And dy'd in his own Blood.]
8 Dear God, the Treasures of thy Love
Are everlasting Mines,
Deep as our helpless Mis'ries are,
And boundless as our Sins.
9 The happy Gates of Gospel Grace
Stand open Night and Day;
Lord, we are come to seek Supplies,
And drive our Wants away. Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-2 Languages: English
Let ev'ry mortal Ear attend
