The stoutest rebel must resign, At thy commanding word. 2 Deep are the wounds thy arrows give; They pierce the hardest heart; Thy smiles of grace the slain revive, And joy succeeds to smart. 3 Still gird thy sword upon thy thigh, Come with majestic sway: Down from thy glorious throne on high, And make thy foes obey 4 And when thy victories are complete; When all the chosen race Shall round the throne of glory meet, To sing thy conquering grace; 5 O may my humble soul be found Among that favor'd band! And I, with them, thy praise will sound As round the throne we stand. Scripture: Psalm 45:3-5

See rocks, like snow dissolving down. 3 In vain for mercy now they cry; In lakes of liquid fire they lie; There on the flaming billows tost, For ever--O forever lost! 4 But saints, undaunted and serene, With calmness view the dreadful scene; Their Saviour lives, the worlds expire, And earth and skies dissolve in fire. 5 Jesus, the helpless creature's friend, To thee my all I dare commend; thou canst preserve my feeble soul, When lightnings blaze from pole to pole.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 86 hymnals First Line: Though in the earthly church below Lyrics: 1 Though in the earthly church below The wheat and tares together grow; Jesus ere long will weed the crop, And pluck the tares, in anger up. 2 Will it relieve their horrors there, To recollect their stations here? How much they heard, how much they knew, How long among the wheat they grew! 3 Oh! this will aggravate their case! They perish under means of grace; To them the word of life and faith, Became an instrument of death. 4 We seem alike when thus we meet, Strangers might think we all were wheat; But to the Lord's all-searching eyes, Each heart appears without disguise. 5 The tares are spar'd for various ends, Some, for the sake of praying friends; Others, the Lord, against their will, Employs his counsel to fulfil. 6 But thought they grow so tall and strong, His plan will not require them long; In harvest when he save his own, The tares shall into hell be thrown.
