While with Ceaseless Course the Sun

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7727 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1. While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here; Fixed in an eternal fate, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little—none can know. 2. As the wingèd arrow flies Speedily the mark to find; As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind; Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life’s rapid stream; Upwards, Lord, our spirits raise, All below is but a dream. 3. Thanks for mercies past receive, Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us, henceforth, how to live With eternity in view: Bless Thy Word to young and old, Fill us with a Savior’s love; And when life’s short tale is told, May we dwell with Thee above.

Saw Ye Not The Cloud Arise?

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8959 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Saw ye not the cloud arise Lyrics: 1 Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand? Now it spreads along the skies, Hangs o’er all the thirsty land, Lo! the promise of a flower Drops already from above, But the Lord shall shortly pour All the spirit of His love. 2 Sons of God your Savior praise, He a door hath opened wide He hath given the word of grace, Jesu’s word is glorified: Jesu’s mighty to redeem, He alone the work hath wrought, Worthy is the work of Him, Who all things to being brought. 3 When He first the work begun Small and feeble was His day, Now the word doth swiftly run, Now it spreads its glorious way; More and more it shines and grows, Ever mighty to prevail; Sin’s strong holds it now o’erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell.

Sion, Haste To Meet Thy King

Author: John H. Anketell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9034 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Sion, haste to meet thy king, Psalms and glad hosannas sing, Strew thy palms, thy garments spread, For the Judge of quick and dead! 2 Meek, He rides upon the colt; God, who wields the thunderbolt, Lays His royal glory by In our flesh for man to die. 3 Enter now the temple gate, Where He stands in princely state; Join the children’s song of praise To the King of endless days. 4 For the Lord who comes with grace, Soon shall show His shining face; Christ, who for our sins atoned, Comes ’mid angel hosts enthroned. 5 Heavens shall vanish like a scroll, Sun and moons in darkness roll, When the dead the trumpet hear, When the judgment books appear. 6 On that day of doom and grace, Grant us with Thy saints a place, Save us from the realms of night, Clothe us with eternal light.

Holy, Holy, Lord

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10379 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy Lord, God the Father, and the Word, God the Comforter, receive Blessings more than we can give! Mixed with those beyond the sky, Chanters to the Lord Most High, We our hearts and voices raise, Echoing Thy eternal praise. 2 One, inexplicably Three, Three, in simplest Unity, God, incline Thy gracious ear, Us, Thy lisping creatures, hear! Thee while man, the earth-born, sings, Angels shrink within their wings; Prostrate seraphim above Breathe unutterable love. 3 Happy they who never rest, With Thy heavenly presence blest! They the heights of glory see, Sound the depths of Deity. Fain with them our souls would vie, Sink as low, and mount as high; Fall o’erwhelmed with love, or soar, Shout, or silently adore.

Happy Souls That Christ Obey

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11453 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Happy souls that Christ obey, They are safe, and only they; Hidden is their life above, All wrapt up in Jesus’ love. When His judgments are abroad, By His timely warnings awed, They to Him their spirits give, Closer to their Savior cleave. 2 Neither wars nor plagues they fear, Still their life and peace is near; Undisturbed by storms they rest Harbored in His quiet breast. Calm on tumult’s wheel they sit, Trample death beneath their feet; Own their all o’er-ruling Lord, Smile at the destroyer’s sword. 3 They its threatening point defy, They behold the fiend pass by, Sprinkled by the Lamb of God, Armed and covered with His blood. Thanks to the atoning Lamb, We are sheltered in His name; We our Lord begin to know, Ransomed from the world below. 4 While we walk with Him in light, Neither men or fiends affright; Us, whom Jesus’ blood doth arm Kill they may, but cannot harm. O that all our friends might feel How secure in Christ we dwell, O that all our foes might prove God, a pardoning God of love! Languages: English Tune Title: BENEVENTO

'Tis a marvel in our eyes

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #129 (1908) Lyrics: 1 'Tis a marvel in our eyes How the Lord rebukes the wise: Whom the builders would not own-- He is made the Corner-Stone! What seems naught, and men reject, Is before our God elect; Thus the Gospel's hidden store Pales the wit of earthly lore. 2 While the vain and wordly-wise For its beauty have no eyes, And in trust repose their stay That at last must all give way, Zion looks unto the Lord, And by faith leans on His Word: Joys in grade that will avail, When both heart and flesh shall fail. 3 Others may their virtues press, On attainments lay great stress; Zion knows of grace alone And the merits that atone, Doth an Only Name confess As her strength and righteousness: Christ, whom builders would not own, Is her precious Corner-stone.
