Awake, Glad Soul

Author: John Monsell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals First Line: Awake, glad soul! awake! awake Lyrics: 1. Awake, glad soul! awake! awake! Thy Lord has risen long; Go to His grave, and with thee take Both tuneful heart and song. 2. Where life is waking all around, Where love’s sweet voices sing, The first bright blossom may be found Of an eternal spring. 3. The shade and gloom of life are fled This resurrection day; Henceforth in Christ are no more dead, The grave hath no more prey. 4. In Christ we live, in Christ we sleep, In Christ we wake and rise, And the sad tears death makes us weep, He wipes from all our eyes. 5. And every bird and every tree, And every opening flower, Proclaim His glorious victory, His resurrection power. 6. The folds are glad, the fields rejoice, With vernal verdure spread, The little hills lift up their voice And shout that death is dead. 7. Then wake, glad heart! awake! awake And seek Thy risen Lord; Joy in His resurrection take, And comfort in His Word. 8. And let thy life, through all its ways, One long thanksgiving be: Its theme of joy, its song of praise— Christ died, and rose for me. Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

How Are Thy Glories Here Displayed!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How are Thy glories here displayed! Great God, how bright they shine, While at Thy word we break the bread, And pour the flowing wine. 2 Here Thy revenging justice stands, And pleads its dreadful cause; Here saving mercy spreads her hands Like Jesus on the cross. 3 Thy saints attend with every grace On this great sacrifice; And love appears with cheerful face, And faith with fixèd eyes. 4 Our hope in waiting posture sits, To Heav’n directs her sight; Here every warmer passion meets, And warmer powers unite. 5 Zeal and revenge perform their part, And rising sin destroy; Repentance comes with aching heart, Yet not forbids the joy. 6 Dear Savior, change our faith to sight; Let sin for ever die; Then shall our souls be all delight, And every tear be dry.

God's mercies I will ever sing

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God’s mercies I will ever sing; and with my mouth I shall thy faithfulness make to be known to generations all. 2 For mercy shall be built, said I, for ever to endure; thy faithfulness even in the heavens thou wilt establish sure. 3 I with my chosen one have made a covenant graciously; and to my servant whom I loved, to David sworn have I; 4 that I thy seed establish shall for ever to remain, and will to generations all thy throne build and maintain. 5 The praises of thy wonders, Lord, the heavens shall express; the assembly of the holy ones shall praise thy faithfulness. 6 For who in heaven with the Lord may once himself compare? Who is like God among the sons of those that mighty are? 7 Great fear in meeting of the saints is due unto the Lord; and he of all about him should with reverence be adored. 8 O Lord, the God of hosts, who can to thee compared be? The might One, the Lord, whose truth doth round encompass thee. 9 Even in the raging of the sea thou over it dost reign; and when the waves thereof do rise, thou stillest them again. 10 Rahab in pieces thou didst break, like one that slaughtered is; and with thy mighty arm thou hast dispersed thine enemies. 11 The heavens are thine, thou for thine own the earth dost also take; the world, and fulness of the same, thou by thy power didst make. 12 The north and south from thee alone their first beginning had; both Tabor mount and Hermon hill shall in thy name be glad. 13 Thou hast an arm that’s full of power, thy hand is great in might; and thy right hand exceedingly exalted is in height. 14 Justice and judgment of thy throne are made the dwelling-place; mercy, accompanied with truth, shall go before thy face.1 15 O greatly blessed the people are the joyful sound that know; in brightness of thy face, O Lord, they ever on shall go. 16 They in thy name shall all the day rejoice exceedingly; and in thy righteousness shall they exalted be on high. 17 Because the glory of their strength doth only stand in thee; and in thy favour shall our horn and power exalted be. 18 For to the Lord belongs our shield, that doth us safety bring: and unto Israel's Holy One the man that is our king.
