The Cross

To make the reign of sorrow cease, And bind the jarring world in peace? 3 'Tis he, 'tis he,—he kindly shrouds His glories in a night of clouds, That souls might from their ruin rise, And heir th' unperishable skies. 4 Jesus, what millions of our race Have been the triumphs of thy grace, And millions more to thee shall fly, And on thy sacrifice rely? 5 That tree, that curse-empoison'd tree, Which prov'd a bloody rack to thee, Shall in the noblest blessings shoot, And fill the nations with its fruit. 6 The sorrow, shame, and death were thine, And all the stores of wrath divine; Ours are the glory, life, and bliss: What love can be compar'd to this.

Lord teach our songs to rise! Thy love can animate the strain, And bid it reach the skies. 6 O happy period! glorious day! When Heaven and earth shall raise, With all their powers, the raptur'd lay, To celebrate thy praise. Topics: Son

GOD a Refuge in Time of Trouble

Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 362 hymnals First Line: Dear refuge of my weary soul Lyrics: 1 Dear refuge of my weary soul, On thee, when sorrows rise, On thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To thee I tell each rising grief, For thou alone canst heal; Thy word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel. 3 But O! when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust; And still my soul would cleave to thee, Tho' prostrate in the dust. 5 Hast thou not bid me seek thy face? And shall I seek in vain? And can the ear of sovereign grace Be deaf when I complain? 6 No, still the ear of sovereign grace Attends the mourner's prayer; O may I ever find access To breathe my sorrows there. 7 Thy mercy-seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat; With humble hope attend thy will, And wait beneath thy feet.
