Take comfort, Christians, when your friends

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R53c (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Take comfort, Christians, when your friends in Jesus fall asleep; their better being never ends; why then dejected weep? 2 Why inconsolable, as those to whom no hope is giv’n? Death is the messenger of peace, and calls the soul to heav’n. 3 As Jesus dy'd, and rose again victorious from the dead; so his disciples rise, and reign with their triumphant Head. 4 The time draws nigh, when from the clouds Christ shall with shouts descend, and the last trumpet’s awful voice the heavens and earth shall rend. 5 Then they who live shall changed be, and they who sleep shall wake; the graves shall yield their ancient charge, and earth’s foundations shake. 6 The saints of God, from death set free, with joy shall mount on high; the heav’nly hosts with praises loud shall meet them in the sky, 7 Together to their Father’s house with joyful hearts they go; and dwell for ever with the Lord, beyond the reach of woe. 8 A few short years of evil past, we reach the happy shore, where death-divided friends at last shall meet, to part no more.

He who erected heav'n's bright arch

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R23b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 6 He who erected heav’ns bright arch, and bade the planets roll, who peopled all the climes of earth, and form'd the human soul, 7 Thus saith the Lord, Thee have I rais'd, my Prophet thee install; in right I’ve rais'd thee, and in strength I’ll succour whom I call. 8 I will establish with the lands a covenant in thee, to give the Gentile nations light, and set the pris’ners free: 9 Asunder burst the gates of brass; the iron fetters fall; and gladsome light and liberty are straight restor'd to all. 10 I am the Lord, and by the name of great Jehovah known; no idol shall usurp my praise, nor mount into my throne. 11 Lo! former scenes, predicted once conspicuous rise to view; and future scenes, predicted now, shall be accomplish'd too. 12 Sing to the Lord in joyful strains! let earth his praise resound, ye who upon the ocean dwell, and fill the isles around! 13 O city of the Lord! begin the universal song; and let the scatter'd villages the cheerful notes prolong. 14 Let Kedar’s wilderness afar lift up its lonely voice; and let the tenants of the rock with accents rude rejoice; 15 Till ‘midst the streams of distant lands the islands sound his praise; and all combin'd, with one accord, Jehovah’s glories raise.

Hymnal: IPH2004 #H4 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Blest morning! whose first dawning rays beheld the Son of God arise triumphant from the grave, and leave his dark abode. 2 Wrapt in the silence of the tomb the great Redeemer lay, till the revolving skies had brought the third, th' appointed day. 3 Hell and the grave combin'd their force to hold our Lord in vain; sudden the Conqueror arose, and burst their feeble chain. 4 To thy great name, Almighty Lord! we sacred honours pay, and loud hosannahs shall proclaim the triumphs of the day. 5 Salvation and immortal praise to our victorious King! Let heav'n and earth, and rocks and seas, with glad hosannahs ring. 6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the God whom we adore, be glory, as it was, and is, and shall be evermore.

Ungrateful sinners! whence this scorn

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R45 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ungrateful sinners! whence this scorn Of God’s long-suff’ring grace? and whence this madness that insults th’ Almighty to his face? 2 Is it because his patience waits, and pitying bowels move, you multiply transgressions more, and scorn his offer'd love? 3 Dost thou not know, self-blinded man! his goodness is design'd to wake repentance in thy soul, and melt thy harden'd mind? 4 And wilt thou rather chuse to meet th’ Almighty as thy foe, and treasure up his wrath in store against the day of woe? 5 Soon shall that fatal day approach that must thy sentence seal, and righteous judgments, now unknown, in awful pomp reveal; 6 while they, who full of holy deeds to glory seek to rise, continuing patient to the end, shall gain th’ immortal prize.
