Here at thy cross, my dying God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 115 hymnals Topics: Resurrection and death of Christ Lyrics: Here at thy cross, my dying God, I lay my soul beneath thy love, Beneath the droppings of thy blood, Jesus, nor shall it e'er remove. Not all that tyrants think or say, With rage and lightning in their eyes, Nor hell shall fright my heart away, Should hell with all its legions rise. Should worlds conspire to drive me thence, Moveless and firm this heart should lie; Resolved, (for that's my last defence,) If I must perish, there to die. But speak, my Lord, and calm my fear; Am I not safe beneath thy shade? Thy vengeance will not strike me here, Nor Satan dares my soul invade. Yes, I'm secure beneath thy blood, And all my foes shall lose their aim: Hosannah to my dying God, And my best honors to his name. Scripture: Psalm 2

Ye Christians, pluck your courage up

Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Death and Resurrection Lyrics: I. Ye Christians, pluck your Courage up; Shake off your Souls' Oppression! If you'd avoid the gen'ral Cup Of God's own Visitation. Let us confess his Judgments just, And ADAM'S Sons but transient Dust; From Death none is exempted. II. Lord, we resign into thy Hands Our Body, Soul and Spirit: We come and go at thy Commands; Death is our real Merit. Whilst dwelling in this sinful Clay, Pain will attend us ev'ry Way; But Joy we hope hereafter. III. No Corn can yield the proper Fruit, Except 'tis sown and bury'd; Our Flesh must moulder to the Root, Before it can be carry'd To that unutterable Bliss, Where CHRIST, our blest Redeemer, is Prepar'd to meet his Lovers. IV. Why shou'd we dread the Thoughts of Death In daily Convesation, Being convin'd, by ev'ry Breath, Of our inconstant Station? Had we the good old SIMEON'S Sense, We'd joy with him to go from hence In th'Arms of our Redeemer. V. Our Breath infirm on God depends; From him's our Preservation; 'Tis he that Guardian-Angels sends To further our Salvation: And, as a Hen protects her Brood From Birds of prey, that seek their Blood, So doth the Lord his Children. VI. 'Wake or asleep, in Life or Death, We are in god's Possession: Baptiz'd in CHRIST, we're brought by Faith, T'approach God's Habitation: What we have lost in ADAM'S Fall, CHRIST has recover'd for us all; Prais'd be the Lord of Mercy. Used With Tune: [Ye Christians, pluck your courage up]

The Usefulness of the Scriptures

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Christ His resurrection; Christ His resurrection First Line: When Israel thro' the desert pass'd Lyrics: 1 When Israel thro' the desert pass'd, A fiery pillar went before To guide them thro' the dreary waste And lessen the fatigue they bore. 2 Such is thy glorious word, O God, 'Tis for our light and guidance given; It sheds its lustre all abroad And points the path to bliss and heaven. 3 It fills the soul with sweet delight, And quickens its inactive powers, It sets our wandering footsteps right, Displays thy love, and kindles ours. 4 Its promises rejoice our hearts, Its doctrines are divinely true; Knowledge and pleasure it imparts, It comforts and instructs us too. 5 Ye favor'd lands that have this word, Ye saints, who feel its saving power, Unite your tongues to praise the Lord And His distinguish'd grace adore. Scripture: Psalm 19

Come, Let Us Praise What God Has Done

Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Resurrection Lyrics: 1 Come, let us praise what God has done, And all that God will do, Whose love is older than the sun, And yet forever new. 2 When slaves in Egypt, long ago, Were pleading to be free, God said, through Moses, "Let them go!" And led them through the sea. 3 Remembering that old surprise, In exile and despair, The prophets cried, "Awake! Arise! The way of God prepare!" 4 God's freeing love again was shown: By pagan king's decree The people came rejoicing home, For all the world to see. 5 And what of Christ, who rose from death When life and hope were lost, And gave us, by the Spirit's breath, The pow'r of Pentecost? 6 Through many years, and still today, Christ, endlessly alive, Has traveled with us on our way, And waits where we arrive. 7 Let ev'rything that God has done Our faith and hope renew To love and honor ev'ryone And show what God can do.

Dark is the wilderness, Earth has no resting-place, Jesus alone can bless; Jesus is mine. 2 Tempt not my soul away; Jesus is mine. Here would I ever stay; Jesus is mine. Perishing things of clay, Born but for one brief day, Pass from my heart away: Jesus is mine. 3 Farewell, ye dreams of night; Jesus is mine. Lost in this dawning bright, Jesus is mine. All that my soul has tried, Left but a dismal void; Jesus has satisfied; Jesus is mine. 4 Farewell, mortality; Jesus is mine. Welcome, eternity; Jesus is mine. Welcome, O loved and blest, Welcome, sweet scenes of rest, Welcome, my Saviour’s breast; Jesus is mine. Amen. Used With Tune: FADE, FADE, EACH EARTHLY JOY
