Thrice happy souls, who, born of heaven

Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 109 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thrice happy souls, who, born of heaven, While yet they sojourn here, Humbly begin their days with God, And spend them in His fear. 2 Midst hourly cares may love present Its incense to Thy throne; And while the world our hands employs, Our hearts be Thine alone! 3 When to laborious duties called, Or by temptations tried, We'll seek the shelter of Thy wings, And in Thy strength confide. 4 As different scenes of life arise, Our grateful hearts would be With Thee amid the social band, In solitude with Thee. 5 At night we lean our weary heads On Thy paternal breast, And safely folded in Thine arms, Resign our powers to rest. 6 In solid pure delights, like these, Let all my days be passed; Nor shall I then impatient wish, Nor shall I fear the last.

How Long Shall Death, The Tyrant, Reign?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals First Line: How long shall death, the tyrant reign Lyrics: 1 How long shall death, the tyrant reign, And triumph o’er the just, While the dear blood of martyrs slain Lies mingled with the dust? 2 When shall the tedious night be gone? When will our Lord appear? Our fond desires would pray Him down, Our love embrace Him here, 3 Let faith arise, and climb the hills, And from afar descry How distant are His chariot wheels, And tell how fast they fly. 4 Lo, I behold the scattering shades, The dawn of Heav’n appears, The sweet immortal morning spreads Its blushes round the spheres, 5 I see the Lord of glory come, And flaming guards around: The skies divide to make Him room, The trumpet shakes the ground. 6 I hear the voice, "Ye dead arise," And lo, the graves obey, And waking saints with joyful eyes Salute th’expected day. 7 They leave the dust, and on the wing Rise to the middle air, In shining garments meet their king, And low adore Him there. 8 O may my humble spirit stand Amongst them clothed in white! The meanest place at His right hand Is infinite delight. 0 How will our joy and wonder rise, When our returning king Shall bear us homeward through the skies On love’s triumphant wing!

Jesus, in Thee Our Eyes Behold

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, in Thee our eyes behold A thousand glories more, Than the rich gems and polished gold The sons of Aaron wore. 2. They first their own burnt offerings brought, To purge themselves from sin; Thy life was pure without a spot, And all Thy nature clean. 3. Fresh blood as constant as the day Was on their altar spilt; But Thy one offering takes away For ever all our guilt. 4. Their priesthood ran through several hands, For mortal was their race; Thy never changing office stands Eternal as Thy days. 5. Once in the circuit of a year, With blood, but not his own, Aaron within the veil appears Before the golden throne: 6. But Christ, by His own powerful blood, Ascends above the skies, And in the presence of our God Shows His own sacrifice. 7. Jesus, the King of glory, reigns On Zion’s heav’nly hill; Looks like a lamb that has been slain, And wears His priesthood still. 8. He ever lives to intercede Before His Father’s face: Give Him, my soul, thy cause to plead, Nor doubt the Father’s grace. Used With Tune: ST. FLAVIAN Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-1709

His providence hath brought us through Another various year: We all with vows and anthems new Before our God appear. 3. Father, Thy mercies past we own; Thy still continued care; To Thee presenting, through Thy Son, Whate’er we have or own. 4. Our lips and lives shall gladly show The wonders of Thy love, While on in Jesu’s steps we go To see Thy face above. 5. Our residue of days or hours Thine, wholly Thine, shall be; And all our consecrated powers A sacrifice to be: 6. Till Jesus in the clouds appear To saints on earth forgiven, And bring the grand Sabbatic year, The jubilee of Heaven.
