Author: Nicholas L. von Zinzendorf, 1700-1760 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There’s but a small beginning made; The earth is still o’ercast with shade. Break forth, Thou Sun of righteousness, With healing beams the nations bless. 2 Whene’er we to mankind proclaim Thy dying love and precious Name, Support Thy servants’ weakness, Lord, By Thy blest Spirit, grace and word. 3 Lord of the harvest, laborers send Who willing are their live to spend In scorching heat and chilling cold To bring the heathen to Thy fold. 4 When all our labor here is o’er, And when our light shall burn no more, When our endeavors have an end, Then let our souls to Thee ascend.

Death, and the terrors of the grave

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 54 hymnals First Line: Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength Lyrics: 1. Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tower, my high defence: Thy mighty arm shall be my trust: For I have found salvation thence. 2*. Death, and the terrors of the grave, Spread over me their dismal shade; While floods of high temptations rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. 3*. I saw the opening gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there, Which none but they that feel, can tell; While I was hurried to despair. 4*. In my distress I call'd my God, When I could scarce believe him mine; He bow'd his ear to my complaints; Then did his grace appear divine. 5*. With speed he flew to my relief, As on a cherub's wings he rode: Awful and bright as lightning shone The face of my deliv'rer, God. 6. Temptations fled at his rebuke, Dispell'd by his almighty breath: He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the depths of death. 7. Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage, But Christ, my Lord, is conqu'ror still, In all the wars that devils wage. 8*. My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord, Due to his mercy and his pow'r.

Around the Throne a Glorious Band

Author: Rowland Hill, 1744-1833 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Around the throne a glorious band, The saints in countless numbers stand, Of ev'ry tongue, redeemed to God, Arrayed in garments washed in blood. 2 Through tribulation great they came; They bore the cross, despised the shame; From all their labors now they rest In God's eternal glory blest. 3 They see their Savior face to face, And sing the triumphs of his grace; Each day and night they sing his praise, To him the loud thanksgiving raise: 4 "Worthy the Lamb, for sinners slain, Through endless years to live and reign; You have redeemed us by your blood, And made us faithful priests to God." 5 O may we tread the sacred road That saints and holy martyrs trod; Wage to the end the glorious strife And win, like them, a crown of life.
