En Ti, Jesús, Dulce Es Pensar

Author: Bernard de Clairvaux; George P. Simmonds Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Union/Comunion con Cristo

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Sunday School union Lyrics: On earth we meet again below; But shall we ever meet above, And all our souls together flow In one eternal tide of love? Some meet who never met before; We bid them welcome on their way: And some may part to join no more The children's Whitsuntide array. While the whole world before us lies, May each, whate'er our pilgrim-path, Be truly taught, and timely wise To follow peace, and flee from wrath:-- That wrath, which disobedience brought On Adam's sin-born progeny; That peace, which our Redeemer bought, With His own blood, upon the tree. So be this temple to the Lord, This Sabbath Union, which we build Of living stones, upon His Word, With His perpetual presence fill'd, Death-partings, then, from earth shall be Life-meetings in that world above, Where life is immortality,-- An immortality of love.

Friend after friend departs:

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 228 hymnals Topics: Separation on earth, re-union in heaven Lyrics: Friend after friend departs: Who hath not lost a friend? There is no union here of hearts, That finds not here an end: Were this frail world our only rest, Living or dying, none were blest. Beyond the flight of time, Beyond this vale of death, There surely is some blessed clime, Where life is not a breath; Nor life's affections transient fire, Whose sparks fly upward to expire! There is a world above, Where parting is unknown; A whole eternity of love, Form'd for the good alone; And faith beholds the dying here, Translated to that happier sphere. Thus star by star declines, Till all are pass'd away, As morning high and higher shines To pure and perfect day; Nor sink those stars in empty night,-- They hide themselves in heaven's own light.

My chearful Mind a good Design shall frame

Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of The Church: Union with Jesus Christ; Prophecies Of Jesus Christ, concerning his Union with the Church Lyrics: 1 My chearful Mind a good Design shall frame, Whilst I the King's loud Praise proclaim; My Tongue directed by my joyful Heart, Is like the Pen that's us'd with ready Art. How matchless is thy Form, O King renown'd! With beaming Glories are thy Temples crown'd, Thy Mouth with Grace continually o'erflows; Because fresh Blessings GOD on thee bestows. 2 Gird on thy Sword, O Prince! in Might excel, Gird on that Sword which doth thy Foes repel; And clad in Ornaments and rich Array, Majestic Pomp, resistless Pow'r display: Ride on in State, and still the Meek protect, Thy dreadful Wrath against thy Foes direct: Let thy right Hand with swift Revenge pursue, All those who strive against the Just and True. 3 The sharpen'd Weapons which thy Hands direct, Thy humbled Foes shall to thy Will subject; Down, down they fall, who dare thy Pow'r oppose, Whilst thro' their Hearts the feather'd Arrow goes; But thou, O God! shall firmly be enthron'd, And thy just Rule by all Mankind be own'd; Thy Sceptre's Sway for ever to endure, Shall always make thy righteous Laws secure. 4 Because thy Heart hath upright Ways approv'd; The purest Truth and strictest Justice lov'd; And hated still in crooked Paths to move, Where wand'ring Sinners ever thoughtless rove; Therefore, thy GOD, did thee to reign appoint, And with the Oil of Joy thy Head anoint: With Cassia, Aloes and Myrrh abound, Thy royal Robes, and spread their Odours round. 5 Amongst the honourable Women plac'd, Do princely Virgins stand, with Beauty grac'd; The glorious Queen herself in State did stand, Array'd in golden Robes, at thy right Hand. But to my Words, O Royal Bride, give Ear, And my Instructions with Attention hear; Forget thy Country, and each former Friend, And on the King alone, with Hope depend. 6 So shall thy Beauty more inviting be; So shall his constant Love encrease to thee; Since he's thy LORD, to him thy Homage pay, And his Affections ne'er shall know decay. The Tyrian Matrons shall rich Presents make, And daily strive thy Favours to partake: The King's fair Daughter inward Graces fill, Her Raiment is of Gold, adorn'd with Skill. 7 She with her nuptial Garments, wide display'd, In costly Robes of Needle Work array'd; While Virgin Trains, attending, stand around, Shall to the King be brought with Glory crown'd. With all the State of solemn Pomp can show, With all the Lustre Riches can bestow; The grand Procession slowly moves along, 'Till the wide Gates receive the pompous Throng. 8 Then, in the Room thy royal Father grac'd, Expect to see thy princely Offspring plac'd; Whom thou in State to diff'rent Realms mayst send, To govern there, and Justice to defend. Whilst this my Song, to future Times preserv'd, Shall tell the Praises, thy great Name deserv'd. And make the World with one Consent proclaim, Thy lasting Glory and perpetual Fame. Scripture: Psalm 45 Used With Tune: [My chearful Mind a good Design shall frame]

Glory and praise to Jesus give, For his redeeming grace. 2 What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we passed, Fightings without, and fears within, Since we assembled last! 3 But out of all the Lord Hath brought us by his love; And still he doth his help afford, And hides our life above.

Free, though in chains, the mountains stand

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Union, Christian, symbolized Lyrics: Free, though in chains, the mountains stand, The valleys link'd run through the land; In fellowship the forests thrive, And streams from streams their strength derive. The cattle graze in flocks and herds, In choirs and concerts sing the birds; Insects by millions ply the wing, And flowers in peaceful armies spring. All nature is society, All nature's voices harmony, All colours blend to form pure light,-- Why then should Christians not unite? Thus to the Father pray'd the Son, "One may they be as We are one, 158 That I in them, and Thou in me, They one with Us may ever be." Children of God! combine your bands; Brethren in Christ! join hearts and hands, And pray,--for so the Father will'd, That the Son's prayer may be fulfill'd:-- Fulfill'd in you, fulfill'd in all, That on the name of Jesus call, And every covenant of love They bind on earth be bound above.

Let songs of praise arise

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Jubilee of Sunday School Union Lyrics: Let songs of praise arise; Teachers, your tribute bring; Let hallelujahs fill the skies, Earth with hosannas ring. Once, by the river-side, A little fountain rose; Now, like the Severn's sea-ward tide, Round the broad world it flows. One heaven-directed mind Reveal'd the simple plan: Now, in the glorious task combined, Ten thousand are one man. Though poor and mean the place, And small the band he taught: Millions since then have shared the grace; Behold what God hath wrought. Through Albion's ocean-isles, In near and distant lands, Where'er the Christian Sabbath smiles, The Sabbath School-house stands. 362 Heralds of peace proclaim The year of jubilee; Now in the Babe of Bethlehem's Name, Bid every child go free.

Love is the theme of saints above

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Jubilee of Sunday School Union Lyrics: Love is the theme of saints above; Love be the theme of saints below; Love is of God, for God is Love; With love let every bosom glow:-- Love, stronger than the grasp of Death, Love that rejoices o'er the grave, Love to the Author of our breath, Love to His Son, who came to save;-- Love to the Spirit of all grace, Love to the Scriptures of all truth, Love to our whole apostate race, Love to the aged, love to youth;-- Love to each other--soul and mind, And heart and hand, with full accord, In one sweet covenant combined, To live and die unto the Lord. Christ's little flock we then shall feed, The lambs we in our arms shall bear, Reclaim the lost, the feeble lead, And watch o'er all in faith and prayer. 363 Thus through our isle, on all our bands, The beauty of the Lord shall be; And Britain, glory of all lands, Plant Sabbath schools from sea to sea.
