Strength from a view of the Cross

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 71 hymnals First Line: When I the blest Redeemer see Lyrics: 1 When I the blest Redeemer see All bleeding on th' accursed tree; Satan and sin no more can move, For I am all transform'd to love. 2 His thorns and nails, pierce thro' my heart, In ev'ry groan I bear a part; I view his wounds with streaming eyes, But see! he bows his head and dies! 3 Come, sinners, view the Lamb of God, Wounded and dead, and bath'd in blood! Behold his side, and venture near, The spring of endless life is here. 4 Here I forget my cares and pains; I drink, yet still my thirst remains; Only the fountain-head above, Can satisfy the thirst with love. 6 Oh, that I thus could always fee! Lord, more and more thy love reveal! Then my glad tongue shall loud proclaim The grace and glory of thy name. 6 Thy name dispels my guilt and fear, Revives my heart, and charms my ear; Affords a balm for ev'ry wound, Then I with love thy praise resound.

See, the creation wrapt in flames, First kindled by his vengeful eye! 2 when thus the mountains melt like wax; When earth, and air, and sea, shall burn: When all the frame of nature shakes; Poor sinner, whither wilt thou turn? 3 The puny works which feeble men Now boast, or covet, or admire; Their pomp, and arts, and treasures, then Shall perish in one common fire. 4 Lord, fix our hearts and hopes above! Since all below to ruin tends; Here may we trust, obey and love, And there be found amongst thy friends.

Christ's birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and intercession

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Awake, my soul, tune ev'ry string Lyrics: Part I Christ's birth and life: 1 Awake, my soul, tune ev'ry string, In God thy Saviour's praise, Join with the heav'nly hosts and sing The highest notes they raise. 2 Tell how the glorious Son of God, Forsook the realms of bliss, Descended to our guilty world, Proclaiming life and peace. 3 Angelic hosts declare his birth, "Glory to God on high, "Good will to men and peace on earth! "Behold the Saviour nigh! 4 "To Bethl'em's city quick repair," Th' etherial spirits cry, "And see the promis'd Saviour there, "Low in a manger lie. 5 "With humble faith and holy fear "Go visit Christ your king." Their heav'nly notes the shepherds hear, And join the praise they sing. 6 On Jordan's banks th' eternal God His birth divine declares; "This is my son!" Lo! on his head The heav'nly dove appears. 7 Holy his life, his doctrines true; (How bright the godhead shone!) Diseases heard and Satan knew, That what he spake was done. Part II Christ's death, resurrection ascension and intercession: 8 Behold the Saviour on the tree, With arms extended wide! From death a sinful world to free, He groan'd, and bled, and dy'd! 9 The sun astonish'd veil'd its face, When the Creator bled; His groans the earth and rocks displace, And wake the sleeping dead. 10 But when th' appointed hour was come, The sleeping Saviour wakes; Behold! he rises from the tomb, And death a captive makes. 11 On the eternal God's right hand The great Redeemer sits; Both heav'n and earth to his command The Father now commits. 12 Our advocate himself he stiles, The sinner's cause he pleads, Through him the Father looks and smiles, While thus he intercedes. 13 Whom once he loves he'll ne'er forget, His counsels guide them still; His grace their weary souls will seat On heav'ns eternal hill. 14 Reviving though! then humble soul, With courage venture on! Though earth and hell against thee roll, In Christ the battle's won. Topics: Christ His death; Christ His incarnation; Christ His intecession; Christ His resurrection

A Hymn for the Lord's day mroning

Appears in 107 hymnals First Line: Awake, our drowsy souls Lyrics: 1 Awake, our drowsy souls, Shake off each slothful band, The wonders of this day Our noblest songs demand. Auspicious morn! thy blissful rays, Bright Seraphs hail in songs of praise. 2 At thy approaching dawn, Reluctant death resign'd The glorious Prince of Life, In dark domains confin'd: Th'angelic host around him bends, And 'midst their shouts, the God ascends. 3 All hail, triumphant Lord, Heav'n with hosannas rings; While earth, in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings: Worthy art thou, who once wast slain, Thro' endless years to live and reign. 4 Gird on, great God, thy sword, Ascend thy conquering car, While justice, truth, and love Maintain the glorious war: Victorious thou thy foes shalt tread, And sin and hell in triumph lead. 5 Make bare thy potent arm, And wing th' unerring dart, With salutary pangs, To each rebellious heart: Then dying souls for life shall sue, Num'rous as drops of morning dew.

The Eternal God his People's Refuge and Support

Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Behold the great eternal God Lyrics: 1 Behold the great eternal God, Spreads everlasting arms abroad, And calls our souls to shelter there. Wonders of mingled pow'r and grace, To all his Israel he displays, Guarded from danger, and from fear. 2 Thither my feeble soul shall fly, When terrors press, and death is nigh, And there will I delight to dwell: On that high tow'r I rear my head, Serene, nor knows my heart to dread, Amidst surrounding hosts of hell. 3 The shadow of th' Almighty's wings Composure unmolested brings, While threat'ning horrors round me croad; In vain the storms of rattling hail The walls of this retreat assail, And the wild tempest roars aloud. 4 In louder strains my fearless tongue Shall warble its victorious song, My Father's graces to proclaim; He bears his infant offspring on To glory radiant as his throne, And joys eternal as his name.

Gravity and decency

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals First Line: Behold the sons, the heirs of God Lyrics: 1 Behold the sons, the heirs of God, So dearly bought with Jesu's blood! Are they not born to heav'nly joys, And shall they stoop to earthly toys? 2 Can laughter feed th' immortal mind? Were spirits of celestial kind Made for a jest, for sport and play, To wear out time and waste the day? 3 Doth vain discourse, or empty mirth, Well suit the honors of their birth? Shall they be fond of gay attire, Which children love, and fools admire? 4 Lord, with a heav'n-directed eye, We'll pass these glittering trifles by. Oh, raise our hearts and passions higher; Touch our vain souls with sacred fire; 6 Then we will look on toys below With such disdain as angels do; And wait the call that bids us rise To mansions promis'd in the skies.

Power of Divine Love

Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: If God had bid his thunders roll Lyrics: 1 If GOD had bid his thunder roll, And lightnings flash, to blast my soul, I still had stubborn been: But mercy has my heart subdu'd, A bleeding Saviour I have view'd, And now I hate my sin. 2 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone, Come take possession of thine own, For thou hast set me free; Releas'd from Satan's hard command, See all my pow'rs in waiting stand, To be employ'd by thee. 3 My will conform'd to thine would move, On thee my hope, desire, and love, In fix'd attention join; My hands, my eyes, my ears, my tongue, Have Satan's servants been too long, But now they shall be thine. 4 And can I be the very same, Who lately durst blaspheme thy name, And on thy gospel tread? Surely each one who hears my case, Will praise thee, and confess thy grace Invincible indeed! Topics: Love Divine Scripture: Acts 9:6
