Fair shines the morning star

Author: Montgomery Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 Fair shines the morning star: The silver trumpets sound, Their notes re-echoing far, While dawns the day around: Joy to the slave; the slave is free; It is the year of jubilee. 2 Prisoners of hope, in gloom And silence left to die, With Christ's unfolding tomb, Your portals open fly: Rise with your Lord, he sets you free; It is the year of jubilee. 3 Ye, who yourselves have sold For debts to justice due, Ransomed, but not with gold, He gave himself for you! The blood of Christ hath made you free; It is the year of jubilee. 4 Captives of sin and shame, O'er earth and ocean, hear An angel's voice proclaim The Lord's accepted year; Let Jacob rise, be Israel free; It is the year of jubilee.

O thou, who hast redeemed of old

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Glad Tidings Lyrics: 1 O thou, who hast redeemed of old, And bidd'st me of thy strength lay hold, And be at peace with thee, Help me thy benefits to own, And hear me tell what thou hast done, O dying Lamb! for me. 2 Love, only love, thy heart inclined, And brought thee, Saviour of mankind, Down from thy throne above; Love made my God a Man of grief, Distressed thee sore for my relief: Oh, mystery of love! 3 As thou hast loved and died for me So grant me, Saviour, love to thee, And gladly I resign Whate'er I have, whate'er I am: My life be all with thine the same, And all thy death be mine. Scripture: Isaiah 27:5

Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 351 hymnals Topics: Provisions of the Gospel Warnings Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord, The time t' insure the great reward; And while the lamp holds out to burn, The vilest sinner may return. 2 Life is the hour that God has given To escape from hell and fly to heaven; The day of grace; and mortals may Secure the blessings of the day. 3 Then what my thoughts design to do, My hands, with all your might pursue; Since no device, nor work is found, Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground. 4 There are no acts of pardon past In the cold grave to which we haste; But darkness, death, and long despair Reign in eternal silence there. Scripture: Proverbs 1:24-32
