The Name of our God

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #41 (1871) Lyrics: 1 The Name of our God In Israel is known; His mansion beloved Is Sion alone: There broke He the arrows The enemy hurl'd, And honour'd His mountain Above all the world. 2 The pride of Thy foes Is turn'd to Thy praise; Their fierceness o'erruled Thy providence sways; Their sin overflowing Thy power will restrain; Thy arm on the wicked New glory will gain. 3 Ye nations, to God Vow homage sincere; Devote to Him gifts, Love, worship, and fear; Before Him, ye mighty, Your spirits repress; Ye high and ye humble, His wonders confess.

Hark! the song of jubilee

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #42 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Hark! the song of jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar; Or the fulness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore. Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound, From the centre to the skies. Wakes above, beneath, around, All creation's harmonies: See Jehovah's banner furl'd; Sheathed His sword; He speaks,--'tis done; And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of His Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway; He shall reign, when, like a scroll, Yonder heavens have pass'd away; Then the end; beneath His rod Man's last enemy shall fall: Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ is all in all. Languages: English

Watchman! tell us of the night

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #43 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Watchman! tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are. Traveller! o'er yon mountain's height, See that glory-beaming star. Watchman! does its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell? Traveller! yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman! tell us of the night; Higher yet that star ascends. Traveller! blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends. Watchman! will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveller! ages are its own; See, it bursts o'er all the earth. 3 Watchman! tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Traveller! darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman! let thy wanderings cease; Hie thee to thy quiet home. Traveller! lo! the Prince of Peace, Lo! the Son of God, is come! Languages: English

How beauteous are their feet

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #44 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Sion's hill; Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal! 2 How charming is their voice: How sweet the tidings are!-- "Sion, behold thy Saviour-King, He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessèd are our eyes That see this heavenly light! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad: Let every nation now behold Their Saviour and their God!

As with gladness men of old

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #45 (1871) Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old Did the guiding star behold; As with joy they hail'd its light, Leading onward, beaming bright; So, most gracious Lord, may we Evermore be led to Thee. 2 As with joyful steps they sped To that lowly manger-bed, There to bend the knee before Him Whom heaven and earth adore; So may we with willing feet Ever seek the mercy-seat. 3 As they offer'd gifts most rare At that manger rude and bare; So may we with holy joy, Pure and free from sin's alloy, All our costliest treasures bring, Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King. 4 Holy Jesu, every day Keep us in the narrow way; And, when earthly things are past, Bring our ransom'd souls at last Where they need no star to guide, Where no clouds Thy glory hide. 5 In the heavenly country bright Need they no created light; Thou its Light, its Joy, its Crown, Thou its Sun which goes not down; There for ever may we sing Hallelujahs to our King.

When, marshall'd on the nightly plain

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #46 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When, marshall'd on the nightly plain, The glittering host bestad the sky, One star alone of all the train Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 2 Hark, hark! to God the chorus breaks, From every host, from every gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks; It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 It is my guide, my light, my all, It bids my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger's thrall, It leads me to the port of peace. 4 Then, safely moor'd, my perisl o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem, For ever and for evermore, The Star, the Star of Bethlehem!

Sons of men, behold from far

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #47 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Sons of men, behold from far, Hail the long-expected star; Jacob's star that gilds the night, Guides bewilder'd nature right. 2 Mild it shines on all beneath, Piercing through the shades of death; Scattering error's wide-spread night, Kindling darkness into light. 3 Nations all, remote and near, Haste to see your God appear: Haste, for Him your hearts prepare, Meet Him manifested there. 4 There behold the Day-spring rise, Pouring light upon your eyes: See it chase the shades away, Shining to the perfect day. 5 Sing, ye morning stars again, God descends on earth to reign, Deigns for man His life to employ; shout, ye sons of God, for joy.

Once more the solemn season calls

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #48 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Once more the solemn season calls A holy fast to keep; And now within the temple walls Both priest and people weep. 2 But vain all outward sign of grief, And vain the form of prayer, Unless the heart implore relief, And penitence be there. 3 We smite the breast, we weep in vain, In vain in ashes mourn, Unless with penitential pain The smitten soul be torn. 4 In sorrow true then let us pray To our offended God, From us to turn His wrath away, And stay the uplifted rod. 5 O God, our Judge and Father, deign To spare the bruisèd reed; We pray for time to turn again, For grace to turn indeed. 6 Blest Three in One, to Thee we bow; Vouchsafe us in Thy love To gather from these fasts below Immortal fruit above.

Forty days and forty nights

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #49 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Forty days and forty nights Thou wast fasting in the wild; Forty days and forty nights Tempted, and yet undefiled. 2 Shall not we Thy sorrow share, And from earthly joys abstain, Fasting with unceasing prayer, Glad with Thee to suffer pain? 3 And if Satan vexing sore, Flesh or spirit should assail, Thou, his Vanquisher before, Grant we may not faint or fail. 4 So shall we have peace divine; Holier gladness ours shall be; Round us, too, shall angels shine, Such as minister'd to Thee. 5 Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear, Ever constant by Thy side; That with Thee we may appear At th' eternal Eastertide.

In mercy, not in wrath

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #50 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, Rebuke me, gracious God! Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise, I sink beneath Thy rod. 2 Touch'd by Thy quickening power, My load of guilt I feel; The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed, Oh, let that Spirit heal. 3 In trouble and in gloom, Must I for ever mourn? And wilt Thou not at length, O God, In pitying love return? 4 O come, ere life expire, Send down Thy power to save; For who shall sing Thy Name in death, Or praise Thee in the grave? 5 Why should I doubt Thy grace, Or yield to dread despair? Thou wilt fulfil Thy promised word, And grant me all my prayer. Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent Languages: English
