Behold my Servant! see him rise

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R23a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold my Servant! see him rise exalted in my might! Him have I chosen, and in him I place supreme delight. 2 On him, in rich effusion pour'd, my Spirit shall descend; my truths and judgments he shall show to earth’s remotest end. 3 Gentle and still shall be his voice, no threats from him proceed; the smoking flax he shall not quench, nor break the bruised reed. 4 The feeble spark to flames he’ll raise; the weak will not despise; judgment he shall bring forth to truth, and make the fallen rise. 5 The progress of his zeal and pow’r shall never know decline, till foreign lands and distant isles receive the law divine. Scripture: Isaiah 42:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: EDEN

When the last trumpet's awful voice

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R50b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When the last trumpet’s awful voice this rending earth shall shake, when op’ning graves shall yield their charge, and dust to life awake; 2 those bodies that corrupted fell shall incorrupted rise, and mortal forms shall spring to life immortal in the skies. 3 Behold what heav’nly prophets sung is now at last fulfill'd, that Death should yield his ancient reign, and, vanquish'd, quit the field. 4 Let Faith exalt her joyful voice, and thus begin to sing; O Grave! where is thy triumph now? and where, O Death! thy sting? 5 Thy sting was sin, and conscious guilt, ’twas this that arm'd thy dart; the law gave sin its strength and force to pierce the sinner’s heart: 6 but God, whose name be ever bless’d! disarms that foe we dread, and makes us conqu’rors when we die, through Christ our living head. 7 Then stedfast let us still remain, though dangers rise around, and in the work prescrib'd by God yet more and more abound; 8 assured that though we labour now, we labour not in vain, but, through the grace of Heav’n’s great Lord th’ eternal crown shall gain.

The rush may rise where waters flow

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R6 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The rush may rise where waters flow, and flags beside the stream; but soon their verdure fades and dies before the scorching beam: 2 So is the sinner’s hope cut off; or, if it transient rise, ’tis like the spider’s airy web, from ev'ry breath that flies. 3 Fix'd on his house he leans; his house and all its props decay: he holds it fast; but, while he holds, the tott’ring frame gives way. 4 Fair, in his garden, to the sun, his boughs with verdure smile; and, deeply fix'd, his spreading roots unshaken stand a while. 5 But forth the sentence flies from Heav’n, that sweeps him from his place; which then denies him for its lord, nor owns it knew his face. 6 Lo! this the joy of wicked men, who Heav’n’s high laws despise: they quickly fall; and in their room as quickly others rise. 7 But, for the just, with gracious care, God will his pow'r employ; he’ll teach their lips to sing his praise, and fill their hearts with joy. Scripture: Job 8:11-22 Languages: English Tune Title: ERIN

Jesus, the Son of God, who once

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R57b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, the Son of God, who once for us his life resign'd, now lives in heav’n, our great High Priest, and never-dying friend. 2 Through life, through death, let us to him with constancy adhere; faith shall supply new strength, and hope shall banish ev’ry fear. 3 To human weakness not severe is our High Priest above; his heart o’erflows with tenderness, his bowels melt with love. 4 With sympathetic feelings touch'd, he knows our feeble frame; he knows what sore temptations are, for he has felt the same. 5 But though he felt temptation’s pow’r, unconquer'd he remain'd; nor, ‘midst the frailty of our frame, by sin was ever stain'd. 6 As, in the days of feeble flesh, he pour'd forth cries and tears; so, though exalted, still he feels what ev’ry Christian bears. 7 Then let us, with a filial heart, come boldly to the throne of grace supreme, to tell our griefs, and all our wants make known: 8 That mercy we may there obtain for sins and errors past, and grace to help in time of need, while days of trial last. Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Languages: English Tune Title: FAITH

Seek ye the Lord while yet his ear

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R26b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 7 Seek ye the Lord while yet his ear is open to your call; while offer'd mercy still is near, before his footstool fall. 8 Let sinners quit their evil ways, their evil thoughts forego, and God, when they to him return, returning grace will show. 9 He pardons with o’erflowing love: for, hear the voice divine! My nature is not like to yours, nor like your ways are mine: 10 But far as heav’n’s resplendent orbs beyond earth’s spot extend, as far my thoughts, as far my ways, your ways and thoughts transcend. 11 And as the rains from heav’n distil, nor thither mount again, but swell the earth with fruitful juice, and all its tribes sustain: 12 So not a word that flows from me shall ineffectual fall; but universal nature prove obedient to my call. 13 With joy and peace shall then be led the glad converted lands; the lofty mountains then shall sing, the forests clap their hands. 14 Where briers grew ‘midst barren wilds, shall firs and myrtles spring; and nature, through its utmost bounds, eternal praises sing. Scripture: Isaiah 55 Languages: English Tune Title: FELIX

Behold what witnesses unseen

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R59a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold what witnesses unseen encompass us around; men, once like us, with suff'ring try'd, but now with glory crown'd. 2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspir'd, begin the Christian race, and, freed from each encumb'ring weight, their holy footsteps trace. 3 Behold a witness nobler still, who trod affliction's path, Jesus, at once the finisher and author of our faith. 4 He for the joy before him set, so gen'rous was his love, endur'd the cross, despis'd the shame, and now he reigns above. 5 If he the scorn of wicked men with patience did sustain, becomes it those for whom he dy'd to murmur or complain? 6 Have ye like him to blood, to death, the cause of truth maintain'd? and is your heav’nly Father’s voice forgotten or disdain'd? 7 My son, saith he, with patient mind endure the chast’ning rod; believe, when by afflictions try'd, that thou art lov'd by God. 8 His children thus most dear to him their heav’nly Father trains, through all the hard experience led of sorrows and of pains. 9 We know he owns us for his sons, when we correction share; nor wander as a bastard race, without our Father’s care. 10 A father’s voice with rev’rence we on earth have often heard; the Father of our spirits now demands the same regard. 11 Parents may err; but he is wise, nor lifts the rod in vain; his chast’nings serve to cure the soul by salutary pain. 12 Affliction, when it spreads around, may seem a field of woe; yet there, at last, the happy fruits of righteousness shall grow. 13 Then let our hearts no more despond, our hands be weak no more; still let us trust our Father’s love, his wisdom still adore.

Behold! the mountain of the Lord

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R18b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold! the mountain of the Lord in latter days shall rise on mountain tops above the hills, and draw the wond'ring eyes. 2 To this the joyful nations round, all tribes and tongues shall flow; Up to the hill of God, they'll say, and to his house we'll go. 3 The beam that shines from Sion hill shall lighten ev'ry land; the King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs shall all the world command. 4 Among the nations he shall judge; his judgements truth shall guide; his sceptre shall protect the just, and quell the sinner’s pride. 5 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds disturb those peaceful years; to ploughshares men shall beat their swords, to pruning-hooks their spears. 6 No longer hosts, encount'ring hosts, shall crowds of slain deplore: they hang the trumpet in the hall, and study war no more. 7 Come then, O house of Jacob! come to worship at his shrine; and, walking in the light of God, with holy beauties shine. Scripture: Isaiah 2:2-6 Languages: English Tune Title: GLASGOW

And shall we then go on to sin

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R47 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And shall we then go on to sin, that grace may more abound? Great God, forbid that such a thought should in our breast be found! 2 When to the sacred font we came, did not the rite proclaim, that, wash'd from sin, and all its stains, new creatures we became? 3 With Christ the Lord we dy'd to sin; with him to life we rise, to life, which now begun on earth, is perfect in the skies. 4 Too long enthrall'd to Satan’s sway, we now are slaves no more; for Christ hath vanquish'd death and sin, our freedom to restore. Scripture: Romans 6:1-7 Languages: English Tune Title: GLOUCESTER

Ho! ye that thirst, approach the spring

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R26a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Ho! ye that thirst, approach the spring where living waters flow; free to that sacred fountain all without a price may go. 2 How long to streams of false delight will ye in crowds repair? how long your strength and substance waste on trifles, light as air? 3 My stores afford those rich supplies that health and pleasure give; incline your ear, and come to Me; the soul that hears shall live. 4 With you a cov’nant I will make that ever shall endure; the hope which gladden'd David’s heart my mercy hath made sure. 5 Behold He comes! your leader comes, with might and honour crown'd; a witness who shall spread my name to earth’s remotest bound. 6 See! nations hasten to his call from ev’ry distant shore; isles, yet unknown, shall bow to him, and Israel’s God adore. Scripture: Isaiah 55 Languages: English Tune Title: GRÄFENBERG

While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks

Hymnal: IPH2004 #R37b (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 While humble shepherds watch'd their flocks in Bethleh'm's plains by night, an angel sent from heav'n appear'd, and fill'd the plains with light. 2 Fear not, he said, (for sudden dread had seiz'd their troubled mind.) glad tidings of great joy I bring to you, and all mankind. 3 To you, in David's town, this day, is born, of David's line, the Saviour, who is Christ the Lord; and this shall be the sign: 4 the heav'nly Babe you there shall find to human view display'd, all meanly wrapped in swathing-bands, and in a manger laid. 5 Thus spake the seraph; and forthwith appeared a shining throng of angels, praising God, and thus address'd their joyful song: 6 All glory be to God on high, and to the earth be peace; good-will is shown by Heav'n to men, and never more shall cease.
