We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope though all deride --
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! it takes our guilt away;
and holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup;
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light;
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Courage; Jesus cross Used With Tune: WALTON (FULDA)

Like a River Glorious
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:9 Refrain First Line: Stayed upon Jehovah Lyrics: 1 Like a river glorious is God's perfect peace,
over all victorious in its bright increase:
perfect, yet it floweth fuller every day,
perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.
[Refrain:]
Stayed upon Jehovh, hearts are fully blest,
finding, as he promised, perfect peace and rest.
2 Hidden in the hollow of his blessed hand,
never foe can follow, never traitor stand:
not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,
not a blast of hurry touch the spirit there. (Refrain)
3 Every joy or trial falleth from above,
traced upon the dial by the Sun of Love;
we may trust him fully all for us to do;
those who trust him wholly find him wholly true. (Refrain)

Only waiting till the shadows
Author: Mrs. Frances L. Mace Appears in 107 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:7 Lyrics: 1 Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown,
Only waiting till the glimmer
Of the day's last beam is flown,
Till the night of death has faded
From the heart once full of day,
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Thro' the twilight soft and gray.
2 Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home;
For the summertime has faded,
And the autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers! gather quickly,
All the ripe hours of my heart;
For the bloom of life is withered,
And I hasten to depart.
3 Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the pearly gate,
At whose portals long I've lingered,
Weary, poor, and desolate:
Even now I hear their footsteps,
And their voices far away;
If they call me, I am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
4 Waiting for a brighter dwelling
Than I ever yet have seen,
Where the tree of life is blooming,
And the fields are ever green;
Waiting for my full redemption,
When my Saviour shall restore
All that sin has caused to wither
On this dreary, mortal shore. Topics: Bible Songs Judgment and Second Advent Used With Tune: WAITING

Come, Holy Spirit, come.
2 To the members of Christ's body,
to the branches of the Vine,
to the church in faith assembled,
to our midst as gift and sign:
Come, Holy Spirit, come.

with the power to love and witness,
with the peace beyond compare:

Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth
Author: Jean de Santeul, 1630-1697; Isaac Williams, 1802-1865 Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 35 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:27 Lyrics: 1 Disposer supreme, and Judge of the earth,
who choosest for thine the meek and the poor;
to frail earthen vessels, and things of no worth,
entrusting thy riches which ay shall endure;
2 Those vessels soon fail, though full of thy light,
and at thy decree are broken and gone;
thence brightly appeareth thy truth in its might,
as through the clouds riven the lightnings have shone.
3 Like clouds are they borne to do thy great will,
and swift as the winds about the world go:
the Word with his wisdom their spirits doth fill;
they thunder, they lighten, the waters o'erflow.
4 Their sound goeth forth, 'Christ Jesus the Lord!'
then Satan doth fear, his citadels fall;
as when the dread trumpets went forth at thy word,
and one long blast shattered the Canaanite's wall.
5 O loud be their trump, and stirring their sound,
to rouse us, O Lord, from slumber of sin:
the lights thou hast kindled in darkness around,
O may they awaken our spirits within.
6 All honour and praise, dominion and might,
to God, Three in One, eternally be,
who round us hath shed his own marvellous light,
and called us from darkness his glory to see. Topics: Saints; Proper 5 Year C Used With Tune: OLD 104TH
