The True Messiah Now Appears

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6909 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. The true Messiah now appears, The types are all withdrawn; So fly the shadows and the stars Before the rising dawn. 2. No smoking sweets, nor bleeding lambs, Nor kid nor bullock slain; Incense and spice of costly names Would all be burnt in vain. 3. Aaron must lay his robes away, His miter and his vest, When God Himself comes down to be The offering and the priest. 4. He took our mortal flesh to show The wonders of His love; For us He paid His life below, And prays for us above. 5. Father, He cries, forgive their sins, For I Myself have died; And then He shows His opened veins And pleads His wounded side. Languages: English Tune Title: ARMENIA

Now That My Journey's Just Begun

Author: Jane Taylor Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11012 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Now that my journey’s just begun Lyrics: 1 Now that my journey’s just begun, My course so little trod, I’ll stay, before I further run, And give myself to God. 2 And, lest I should be ever led Through sinful paths to stray, I would at once begin to tread In wisdom’s pleasant way. 3 What sorrows may my steps attend, I cannot now foretell; But if the Lord will be my friend, I know that all is well. 4 If all my earthly friends should die, And leave me mourning here; Since God regards the orphan’s cry, O what have I to fear? 5 If I am rich, He’ll guard my heart, Temptation to withstand; And make me willing to impart The bounties of His hand. 6 If I am poor, He can supply Who has my table spread; Who feeds the ravens when they cry, And fills His poor with bread. 7 And, Lord, whatever grief or ill For me may be in store, Make me submissive to Thy will, And I would ask no more. 8 Attend me through my youthful way, Whatever be my lot; And when I’m feeble, old, and gray, O Lord, forsake me not. 9 Then still, as seasons hasten by, I will for Heav’n prepare; That God may take me when I die, To dwell forever there.

God Is A Spirit, Just And Wise

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11081 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 God is a Spirit, just and wise He sees our inmost mind; In vain to Heav’n we raise our cries, And leave our souls behind. 2 Nothing but truth before His throne With honor can appear; The painted hypocrites are known Through the disguise they wear. 3 Their lifted eyes salute the skies, Their bended knees the ground; But God abhors the sacrifice Where not the heart is found. 4 Lord, search my thoughts, and try my ways, And make my soul sincere; Then shall I stand before Thy face, And find acceptance there.
