No Common Vision This I See

Author: John Norris, 1657-1711; Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 No common vision this I see In more than human majesty, Who is this mighty Hero, who, With glorious terror on His brow? 2 His deep dyed crimson robes outvie The blushes of the morning sky; Lo! how triumphant He appears And victory in His visage wears! 3 How strong, how stately does He go! Pompous and solemn is His pace, And full of majesty His face, Who is this mighty hero, who? 4 "’Tis I, who to My promise stand: I, who sin, death, hell, and the grave Have foiled with this all conquering hand: ’Tis I, the Lord, mighty to save." 5 Why wear’st Thou then this crimson dye; Say Thou, all conquering hero, why? Why do Thy garments look all red Like them that in the wine vat tread? 6 "The wine press I alone have trod, That ponderous mass I plied alone: And with me to assist was none: A task worthy the Son of God! 7 "Angels stood trembling at the sight, Enraged I put forth all My might, And down the engine pressed; the force Put frighted nature out of course. 8 "The blood gushed out, and checkered o’er My garments with its deepest gore. With glorious stains bedecked I stood, And writ My victory in blood. 9 "The day, the signal day is come Vengeance of all My foes to take; The day, when death shall have its doom, And the dark Kingdom’s powers shall shake. 10 "I looked, who to assist stood by: Trembled Heav’n’s hosts, nor ventured nigh: E’en to My Father did I look In pain: My Father Me forsook. 11 "A while amazed I was to see None to uphold or comfort Me: Then I arose in might arrayed, And called My fury to My aid. 12 "My single arm the battle won, And strait th’ acclaiming Hosts above Hymned, in new songs of joy and love, Jehovah and His conquering Son."

God Is My Strength! I Bless His Name

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God is my strength! I bless his name; the same his pow'r, his grace the same; the tokens of his friendly care open and close and crown the year. 2 I 'midst ten thousand dangers stand, supported by his guardian hand, and see, when I survey my ways, ten thousand momuments of praise. 3 Thus far his arm has led me on, thus far I make his mercy known, and whle I tread this desert land, new mercies shall new songs demand. 4 My grateful soul on Jordan's shore shall raise one sacred pillar more, then bear in his bright courts above, inscriptions of immortal love.
