Now Be The God Of Israel Blessed

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16329 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Now be the God of Israel blessed Lyrics: 1 Now be the God of Israel blessed, Who makes Hi s truth appear; His mighty hand fulfills His Word, And all the oaths He sware. 2 Now He bedews old David’s Root With blessings from the skies; He makes the Branch of Promise grow, The promised Horn arise. 3 John was a prophet of the Lord, To go before His face; The herald which our Savior God Sent to prepare His way. 4 He makes the great salvation known, He speaks of pardoned sins; While grace divine, and heav’nly love, In its own glory shines. 5 "Behold the Lamb of God," He cries, “That takes our guilt away: I saw the Spirit o’er His head On His baptizing day. 6 “Be every vale exalted high, Sink every mountain low; The proud must stoop, and humble souls Shall His salvation know. 7 “The heathen realms with Israel’s land Shall join in sweet accord; And all that’s born of man shall see The glory of the Lord. 8 "Behold the Morning-Star arise, Ye that in darkness sit; He marks the path that leads to peace, And guides our doubtful feet."

When Abra'm, Full Of Sacred Awe

Author: Elizabeth Scott Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16398 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When Abra’m, full of sacred awe Lyrics: 1 When Abra’m, full of sacred awe, Before Jehovah stood, And with a humble, fervent prayer, For guilty Sodom sued— 2 With what success, what wondrous grace, Was his petition crowned! The Lord would spare, if in the place Ten righteous men were found. 3 And could a single pious soul So rich a boon obtain? Great God, and shall a nation cry, And plead with Thee in vain? 4 Are not the righteous dear to Thee Now, as in ancient times? Or does this sinful land exceed Gomorrah in her crimes? 5 Still we are Thine; we bear Thy name; Here yet is Thine abode; Long has Thy presence blessed our land— Forsake us not, O God.

Almighty Lord! Before Thy Throne

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16400 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Almighty Lord! before Thy throne Lyrics: 1 Almighty Lord! before Thy throne Thy mourning people bend! ’Tis on Thy pardoning grace alone Our dying hopes depend. 2 Dark judgments, from Thy heavy hand Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares our guilty land And still we live to pray. 3 How changed, alas! are truths divine, For error, guilt and shame! What impious numbers, bold in sin, Disgrace the Christian name! 4 O turn us—turn us, mighty Lord Convert us by Thy grace; Then shall our hearts obey Thy word, And see again Thy face. 5 Then, should oppressing foes invade, We will not sink in fear; Secure of all-sufficient aid When Thou, O God, art near.

Our Savior Christ Will Quickly Come

Author: Edward Bickersteth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16404 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Our Savior Christ will quickly come, As lightning shines on high; In clouds, with power and glory great, Be seen by every eye. 2 While sudden terrors seize His foes, His wrath they can’t escape; The saints’ redemption then appears; They realize their hope. 3 The dead are raised, the living changed, From every land they come; His Church’s number all complete, Th’elect are gathered home. 4 Oh glorious hope! if Jesus be Our Savior and our friend, For we shall then be with our Lord, In joys that never end. 5 Oh! may we wait, and watch, and pray, Look up, and, free from fear, Our life be all devotedness, Till He our Lord appear.

In Vain The Preacher Cried, "Repent"

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16407 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: In vain the preacher cried, Repent Lyrics: 1 In vain the preacher cried, "Repent; Flee from impending wrath"; Headlong the world of rebels went Along its own broad path. 2 They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, Built, planted, till the day When the flood came, and young and old Were swept at once away. 3 A few that feared the warning word Escaped the doom of sin; The ark received them, and the Lord Shut safe His servants in. 4 The tide of time that knows no turn, Like that engulfing flood, Whelms with destruction those that spurn God’s truth and Jesus’ blood. 5 But still His preachers cry, "Repent; Flee from sin’s deadly doom"; Forth from the ark this call is sent, "Come in, there yet is room." 6 Unshut the door, where Mercy stands, The perishing to save, With earnest eye, and outstretched hands, From death beyond the grave.

Arise And Shine, Your Light Is Come

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16415 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Arise and shine, your light is come, Fair islands of the West! Awake and sing, once deaf and dumb, Now islands of the blest. 2 Shine, for the glory of the Lord Your coral reefs surrounds: Sing, for the trumpet of His word O’er all your ocean sounds. 3 Poor Africa! through thy waste sands, Where Calvary’s fountain flows, Deserts become Immanuel’s lands, And blossom like the rose. 4 India, beneath the chariot wheels Of Juggernaut o’erthrown, Thy heart a quickening spirit feels, A pulse beats through the stone. 5 O China! see thy quaking wall: Foredoomed by Heav’n’s decree, A hand is writing on it— "Fall!" A voice goes forth— "Be free!" 6 Ye pagan tribes! of every race, Clime, country, language, hue, Believe, obey, be saved by grace, The Gospel speaks to you. 7 Father of lights! Thy will be done Here, as by saints above; Give earth’s whole empire to Thy Son, For He must reign in love. 8 Reign, till beneath His feet, all foes Forever vanquished lie; And the last judgment’s sentence close The book of prophecy.

A Christmas Legend

Author: Isabella J. Postgate Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16419 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Through snowy streets one Christmas Eve Lyrics: 1 Through snowy streets one Christmas Eve, In winter bleak and wild, Wandered, with bare and aching feet, A little stranger child. 2 How brightly through each window pane Shone gay and gleaming rooms Where stood the sparkling lamp lit trees, Laden with Christmas blooms! 3 Alas! no comfort could they bring This little lonely heart; Fast fell his tears to see the joy In which he had no part. 4 “Each child has for his own today A little tree and light; I only have no gift at all, Out in the freezing night. 5 “In my dear home so far away One also burned for me: My brothers, sisters round its gleam Shouted and danced for glee. 6 “Now all the joy is fled away, Broken the happy band. And I, forgotten and alone, In this cold, foreign land. 7 “Will no kind mother let me in, For sake of charity? Is there not, by so many hearths, One little nook for me? 8 "I ask not, from your laden trees, One single gift or toy Only a place to sit apart. And see the children’s joy." 9 Timid he knocked at gate and door, But all were deaf within: None came, no gentle voice or hand, To bid him welcome in. 10 The parents gave the Christmas gifts, And on their children smiled: Each thought of his own little ones; None of the lonely child. 11 "O holy, gracious Christ," he cried, "No parent have I here; No help is left, save only Thee, O Jesus blest and dear!" 12 He rubbed his little frost-chilled hand, And, stiff with cold and pain, Lingered to watch the casements’ glow, Crouched in a narrow lane. 13 God hears the prayer that man denies— For see! a lovely sight, A glory clearer than the sun Made darkest alley bright. 14 While, gliding soft in snow-white robe, There came another child: Like music from the heav’nly land Sounded His accents mild— 15 "I am the blessèd Christ," He said, “Once born a child like thee: Poor little lone forsaken one, Thou art most dear to Me. 16 "A tree more lovely far than all Which thou hast seen tonight, I will Myself uprear for thee Under the sky’s clear height." 17 Thus graciously the Christ Child spoke And waved to Heav’n His hand, When lo! more fair than earth’s best blooms Behold: the tree did stand! 18 How full of clustered stars it gleamed. With branches wide outspread, While wondrous radiance, far and near, Its Heav’n-lit tapers shed! 19 The child looked up with deep wide eyes; Strange awe his breast did fill: Then, gazing on the heav’nly sight, The little heart grew still. 20 It seemed to him a lovely dream; Till, bending from the tree, Fair white winged angels reached their hands And drew him lovingly: 21 And, from earth’s narrow, darksome ways, By sin and woe defiled, The Savior’s gracious arms once more Took up a little child. 22 He lay, a stiff and lifeless form. In morning grey and chill: And they who found him, wondering saw His pale lips smiling still. 23 Thank God! no more in cold and pain The little wanderer sighs; And soon forgotten is earth’s grief In peaceful paradise!

A Bygone Year

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16448 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: A year, another year is fled Lyrics: 1 A year, another year is fled; Its issues who can tell? Millions of voices of the dead Reply from Heav’n or hell. 2 All these were living at the birth Of the departed year; They all have vanished from the earth, We fill their places here. 3 Though to the eye, the ear, the mind Of man their speech is sealed, Th’eternal meaning each may find, In two plain words revealed. 4 Lost spirits, from the dark abyss, Cry mournfully "Beware!" Spirits in glory, and in bliss, Sing joyfully "Prepare!" 5 Thus timely warned, and moved with fear, Of wrath, let us beware; For life or death, in this new year, For earth and Heav’n prepare. 6 Who then of those with us, this day In childhood, youth, or age, "To love the Lord our God" can say "We all our hearts engage."

Give us clear shining after rain, And bid the spring appear! 2 Breathe on this fallen world of ours, And wake it into life; And send us genial suns and showers, For winter’s stormy strife. 3 ’Tis Thine to rear the tender crop, The wandering flocks to feed; And plenteous in Thy footsteps drop Supplies for every need. 4 The year is with Thy goodness crowned, The valleys laugh and sing, The little hills rejoice around, And earth adores her king. 5 God of the year, while thus the rest Thy genial influence share, Shine into every wintry breast, And make a spring-tide there.

A Bright And Glorious Hope

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16460 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: A bright and glorious hope is ours Lyrics: 1 A bright and glorious hope is ours, We have no portion here; Our hearts would seek the things above, Till Thou, Lord, shalt appear. 2 The world thro’ which we pass is that Which crucified the Lord, And how can we have any joy Where Thou art still ignored? 3 The time is hastening swiftly on When He will come again, And o’er the earth, renewed and blessed, With all His saints to reign. 4 To us ’tis giv’n to suffer still, Until that joyful hour; And greater glory this we deem Than earthly pomp or power.
