See the Gloomy Gathering Cloud

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. See the gloomy gathering cloud Hanging o’er a sinful land! Sure the Lord proclaims aloud, Times of trouble are at hand: Happy they, who love His name! They shall always find Him near; Though the earth were wrapped in flame, They have no just cause for fear. 2. Hark! His voice in accents mild, O, how comforting and sweet! Speaks to every humble child, Pointing out a sure retreat! Come, and in My chambers hide, To My saints of old well known; There you safely may abide, Till the storm be overblown. 3. You have only to repose On My wisdom, love, and care; Where My wrath consumes my foes, Mercy shall My children spare: While they perish in the flood, You that bear My holy mark, Sprinkled with atoning blood, Shall be safe within the ark. 4. Sinners, see the ark prepared! Haste to enter while there’s room; Though the Lord His arm has bared, Mercy still retards your doom: Seek Him while there yet is hope, Ere the day of grace be past; Lest in wrath He give you up, And this call should prove your last.

Happy Souls That Christ Obey

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Happy souls that Christ obey, They are safe, and only they; Hidden is their life above, All wrapt up in Jesus’ love. When His judgments are abroad, By His timely warnings awed, They to Him their spirits give, Closer to their Savior cleave. 2 Neither wars nor plagues they fear, Still their life and peace is near; Undisturbed by storms they rest Harbored in His quiet breast. Calm on tumult’s wheel they sit, Trample death beneath their feet; Own their all o’er-ruling Lord, Smile at the destroyer’s sword. 3 They its threatening point defy, They behold the fiend pass by, Sprinkled by the Lamb of God, Armed and covered with His blood. Thanks to the atoning Lamb, We are sheltered in His name; We our Lord begin to know, Ransomed from the world below. 4 While we walk with Him in light, Neither men or fiends affright; Us, whom Jesus’ blood doth arm Kill they may, but cannot harm. O that all our friends might feel How secure in Christ we dwell, O that all our foes might prove God, a pardoning God of love!

Happy Magdalene, to Whom

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Happy Magdalene, to whom Christ the Lord vouchsafed t’appear! Newly risen from the tomb, Would He first be seen by her? Her by seven devils possessed, Till His Word the fiends expelled; Quenched the hell within her breast, All her sins and sickness healed. 2. Yes, to her the Master came, First His welcome voice she hears: Jesus calls her by her name, He the weeping sinner cheers, Lets her the dear task repeat, While her eyes again run o’er; Lets her wash His bleeding feet, Kiss them, and with joy adore. 3. Highly favored soul! To her Farther still His grace extends, Raises the glad messenger, Sends her to His drooping friends; Tidings of their living Lord First in her report they find: She must spread the Gospel word, Teach the teachers of mankind. 4. Who can now presume to fear? Who despair his Lord to see? Jesus, wilt Thou not appear, Show Thyself alive to me? Yea, my God, I dare not doubt, Thou shalt all my sins remove; Thou hast cast a legion out, Thou wilt perfect me in love. 5. Surely Thou hast called me now! Now I hear the voice divine, At Thy wounded feet I bow, Wounded for whose sins but mine! I have nailed Him to the tree, I have sent Him to the grave: But the Lord is ris’n for me, Hold of Him by faith I have. 6. Here for ever I would lie, Didst Thou not Thy servant raise, Send me forth to testify All the wonders of Thy grace. Lo! I at Thy bidding go, Gladly to Thy followers tell They their rising God may know, They the life of Christ may feel. 7. Hear, ye brethren of the Lord, (Such as He vouchsafes to call) O believe the Gospel word, Christ hath died, and rose for all: Turn ye from your sins to God, Haste to Galilee, and see Him, who bought Thee with His blood, Him, who rose to live in Thee.

Happy Soul, That, Free from Harms

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Happy soul, that, free from harms, Rests within his Shepherd’s arms! Who his quiet shall molest? Who shall violate his rest? Jesus doth his spirit bear; Jesus takes his every care; He who found the wandering sheep, Jesus, still delights to keep. 2. O that I might so believe, Steadfastly to Jesus cleave; On His only love rely, Smile at the destroyer nigh; Free from sin and servile fear, Have my Jesus ever near; All His care rejoice to prove, All His paradise of love! 3. Jesus, seek Thy wandering sheep; Bring me back, and lead, and keep; Take on Thee my every care; Bear me, on Thy bosom bear; Let me know my Shepherd’s voice; More and more in Thee rejoice; More and more of Thee receive; Ever in Thy spirit live. 4. Live, till all Thy life I know, Perfect, through my Lord, below; Gladly then from earth remove, Gathered to the fold above; O that I at last may stand, With the sheep at Thy right hand; Take the crown so freely given, Enter in by Thee to Heaven!

Unto Us a Child Is Born (Sanders)

Author: Harry Sanders Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Unto us a child is born Lyrics: 1. Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is giv’n, Child the mark of human scorn; Son—the Heir of earth and Heav’n; Son of God, a human child; God with us, His wondrous name; Holy, harmless, undefiled, yet ordained to death and shame. 2. Oh, that by a worthy song we might echo back the strain, Erst that greeted, loud and long, Bethlehem’s astonished plain! Might the manger cradled king with the shepherd watch behold, And with star-led sages bring frankincense, and myrrh and gold! 3. Great Redeemer, Thou hast died; Thou hast wrought the work sublime; And the words have echoed wide to the farthest bounds of time— It is finished!—finished long is Thy great redemption plan; And we bless Thee in our song, Lord of angels, Son of Man! 4. Wonderful Thy name we call; Counselor, to Thee we bow; Mighty God, the Lord of all, Father everlasting Thou, Prince of Peace—Thy steadfast throne strong in judgment stands for aye; Every land Thy might shall own, all Thy scepter shall obey.
