Say now, ye lovely social band

Hymnal: SH1835 #112 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Say now, ye lovely social band, Who walk the way to Canaan's land; Ye who have fled from Sodom's plain, Say, would you now return again? Have you just ventured to the field, Well armed with helmet, sword and shield, And shall the world, with dread alarms, Compel you now to ground your arms? 2. Beware of pleasure's siren song; Alas! it cannot soothe you long; It cannot quiet Jordan's wave, Nor cheer the dark and silent grave. O let your thoughts delight to soar Where earth and time shall be no more; Explore by faith the heavenly fields, And pluck the fruit that Canaan yields. 3. There see the glorious hosts on wing, And hear the heavenly seraphs sing! The shining ranks in order stand, Or move like lightning at command. Jehovah there reigns not alone, The Savior shares his Father's throne, While angels circle round his seat, And worship prostrate at his feet. 4. Behold! I see, among the rest, A host in richer garments dressed; A host that near his presence stands, And palms of victory grace their hands. Say, who are these I now behold, With blood washed robes and crowns of gold? This glorious host is not unknown To him who sits upon the throne. 5. These are the followers of the Lamb; From tribulation great they came; And on the hill of sweet repose They bid adieu to all their woes. Soon on the wings of love you'll fly, To join them in that world on high;-- O make it now your chiefest care The image of your Lord to bear. Languages: English Tune Title: SOCIAL BAND

My Christian friends, in bonds of love

Hymnal: SH1835 #113 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. My Christian friends, in bonds of love, Whose hearts in sweetest union join, Your friendship's like a drawing band, Yet we must take the parting hand. 2. Your company's sweet, your union dear, Your words delightful to my ear, Yet when I see that we must part, You draw like cords around my heart. 3. How sweet the hours have passed away, Since we have met to sing and pray; How loath we are to leave the place Where Jesus shows his smiling face. 4. O could I stay with friends so kind, How would it cheer my drooping mind! But duty makes me understand, That we must take the parting hand, 5. And since it is God's holy will, We must be parted for a while, In sweet submission, as all one, We'll say, our Father's will be done. 6. My youthful friends, in Christian ties, Who seek for mansions in the skies, Fight on, we'll gain that happy shore, Where parting will be known no more. 7. How oft I've seen your flowing tears, And heard you tell your hopes and fears! Your hearts with love were seen to flame, Which makes me hope we'll meet again. 8. Ye mourning souls, lift up your eyes To glorious mansions in the skies; O trust his grace--in Canaan's land, We'll no more take the parting hand. 9. And now, my friends, both old and young, I hope in Christ you'll still go on; And if on earth we meet no more, O may we meet on Canaan's shore. 10. I hope you'll all remember me, If you on earth no more I see; An interest in your prayers I crave, That we may meet beyond the grave. 11. O glorious day! O blessed hope! My soul leaps forward at the thought, When, on that happy, happy land, We'll no more take the parting hand. 12. But with our blessed, holy Lord, We'll shout and sing with one accord And there we'll all with Jesus dwell So, loving Christians, fare you well. Languages: English Tune Title: PARTING HAND

Angels in shining order stand

Hymnal: SH1835 #116 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. The cross of Christ inspires my heart, To sing redeeming grace; Awake, my soul, and bear a part In my Redeemer's praise. Oh, how can be compared to him Who died upon the tree? This is my dear delightful theme, That Jesus died for me. 2. When at the table of the Lord We humbly take our place, The death of Jesus we record, With love and thankfulness. These emblems bring my Lord to view, Upon the bloody tree, My soul believes and feels it's true, That Jesus died for me. 3. His body broken, nailed, and torn, And stained with streams of blood, His spotless soul was left forlorn, Forsaken of his God. 'Twas then his Father gave the stroke That justice did decree; All nature felt the dreadful stroke, When Jesus died for me. 4. Eli lama sabachthani, My God, my God, he cried, Why hast thou thus forsaken me! And thus my Savior died. But why did God forsake his Son, When bleeding on the tree? He died for sins, but not his own, For Jesus died for me. 5. My guilt was on my Surety laid And therefore he must die; His soul a sacrifice was made For such a worm as I Was ever love so great as this? Was ever grace so free? This is my glory, joy and bliss, That Jesus died for me. 6. He took his meritorious blood, And rose above the skies, And in the presence of his God, Presents his sacrifice. His intercession must prevail With such a glorious plea My cause cause can never, never fail, For Jesus died for me. 7. Angels in shining order sit Around my Savior's throne; They bow with reverence at his feet And make his glories known. Those happy spirits sing his praise To all eternity; But I can sing redeeming grace For Jesus died for me. 8. O! had I but an angel's voice To bear my heart along, My flowing numbers soon would raise To an immortal song. I'd charm their harps and golden lyres In sweetest harmony, And tell to all the heavenly choirs That Jesus died for me. Languages: English Tune Title: ALABAMA

Death, 'tis a melancholy day

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: SH1835 #119 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Death, 'tis a melancholy day, To those who have no God, When the poor soul is forced away, To seek her last abode. 2. In vain to heaven she lifts her eyes, For guilt, a heavy chain, Still drags her downward from the skies, To darkness, fire, and pain. 3. Awake and mourn, ye heirs of hell, Let stubborn sinners fear; You must be driven from earth, and dwell A long for ever there. 4. See how the pit gapes wide for you, And flashes in your face; And thou, my soul, look downward too, And sing recovering grace. 5. He is a God of sovereign love, That promised heaven to me, And taught my thoughts to soar above, Where happy spirits be. 6. Prepare me, Lord, for thy right hand, Then come the joyful day; Come, death, and some celestial band, To bear my soul away. Languages: English Tune Title: TRIBULATION

O when shall I see Jesus

Hymnal: SH1835 #122 (1854) Meter: 7.6 Lyrics: 1. O when shall I see Jesus, And dwell reign with him above, And drink the from the flowing fountain Drink everlasting love? When shall I be delivered, From this vain world of sin, And with my blessed Jesus, Drink endless pleasures in? 2. But now I am a soldier, My Captain's gone before; He's given me my orders, And bids me ne'er give o'er; His promises are faithful-- A righteous crown he'll give, And all his valiant soldiers Eternally shall live. 3. Through grace I am determined To conquer, though I die, And then away to Jesus, On wings of love I'll fly: Farewell to sin and sorrow, I bid them both adieu! And O, my friends, prove faithful, And on your way pursue. 4. Whene'er you meet with troubles And trials on your way, Then cast your care on Jesus, And don't forget to pray. Gird on the gospel armor Of faith, and hope, and love, And when the combat's ended, He'll carry you above. 5. O do not be discouraged, For Jesus is your friend; And if you lack for knowledge, He'll not refuse to lend. Neither will he upbraid you, Though often you request, He'll give you grace to conquer, And take you home to rest. 6. And when the last loud trumpet Shall rend the vaulted skies, And bid the entombed millions From their cold beds arise; Our ransomed dust, revived, Bright beauties shall put on And soar to the blest mansions Where our Redeemer's gone. 7. Our eyes shall then with rapture, The Savior's face behold; Our feet, no more diverted, Shall walk the streets of gold Our ears shall hear with transport The hosts celestial sing; Our tongues shall chant the glories Of our immortal King.
