Let The World Lament Their Dead

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the world lament their dead, As sorrowing without hope; When a friend of ours is freed, We cheerfully look up, Cannot murmur or complain, For our dead we cannot grieve, Death to them, to us, is gain; In Jesus we believe. 2 We believe that Christ our head For us resigned His breath, He was numbered with the dead, And dying conquered death; Burst the barriers of the tomb: Death could Him no longer keep, He is the first-fruits become Of those in Him that sleep. 3 God, who Him to life restored, Shall all His members raise, Bring them quickened with their Lord, The children of His grace. We who then on earth remain, Shall not sooner be brought home; All the dead shall rise again To meet the general doom. 4 Jesus, faithful to His word, Shall with a shout descend; All Heaven’s host their glorious Lord Shall pompously attend; Christ shall come with dreadful noise, Lightnings swift, and thunders loud, With the great archangel’s voice, And with the trump of God. 5 First the dead in Christ shall rise; Then we who yet remain Shall be caught up to the skies, And see our Lord again; We shall meet Him in the air, All rapt up to Heaven shall be, See, and love, and praise Him there To all eternity. 6 Who can tell the happiness This glorious hope affords! Joy unuttered we possess In these reviving words: Happy while on earth we breathe, Mightier bliss ordained to know, Trampling upon sin and death, To the third Heaven we go.

Jesus, Fix Thy Kingdom Here

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Jesus, fix Thy kingdom here! Lyrics: 1 Jesus, fix Thy kingdom here! Thy kingdom is the stone, Sent from Heav’n in man t’appear, And stand on earth alone; Let it now the image smite, Break the iron and the clay, Conquer, not by power or might, And force the world t’obey. 2 By this stone to powder ground The kingdoms all shall be: Then their place no more is found, When earth submits to Thee; Let Thy kingdom now prevail, All opposing power disperse, To a boundless mountain swell, And fill the universe.

Once A Woman Silent Stood

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once a woman silent stood While Jesus sat at meat; From her eyes she poured a flood, To wash His sacred feet: Shame and wonder, joy and love, All at once possessed her mind, That she e’er so vile could prove, Yet now forgiveness find. 2 "How came this vile woman here? Will Jesus notice such? Sure, if He a prophet were, He would disdain her touch!" Simon thus, with scornful heart, Slighted one whom Jesus loved, But her Savior took her part, And thus his pride reproved. 3 "If two men in debt were bound, One less, the other more; Fifty, or five hundred pound, And both alike were poor; Should the lender both forgive, When he saw them both distressed; Which of them would you believe, Engaged to love him best?" 4 "Surely he who much did owe," The Pharisee replied; Then our Lord, “By judging so, Thou dost for her decide: Simon, if like her you knew, How much you forgiveness need; You like her had acted too, And welcomed Me indeed! 5 "When the load of sin is felt, And much forgiveness known; Then the heart of course will melt, Though hard before as stone: Blame not then, her love and tears, Greatly she in debt has been: But I have removed her fears, And pardoned all her sin." 6 When I read this woman’s case, Her love and humble zeal; I confess, with shame of face, My heart is made of steel; Much has been forgiv’n to me, Jesus paid my heavy score, What a creature must I be, That I can love no more!
