Hark! Ye Mortals. Hist! be Still

Gentile tyrants sink to hell; Now's the day of Israel! 4. Jesus soon will come again, Saints with Him shall rise and reign, Heav'n and earth in songs combine, All the worlds in chorus join; Ev'ry tongue the music swell, Now's the day of Israel! Ev'ry tongue the music swell, Now's the day of Israel! Used With Tune: [Hark! ye mortals. Hist! be still]

When dark clouds of trouble hang o’er us And threaten our peace to destroy, There is hope smiling brightly before us, And we know that deliv’rance is nigh, We doubt not the Lord, nor His goodness, We’ve proved Him in days that are past; The wicked who fight against Zion, Will surely be smitten at last. 3. We’ll sing of His goodness and mercy We’ll praise Him by day and by night, Rejoice in His glorious gospel, And bask in its life-giving light, Thus on to eternal perfection The honest and faithful will go, While they who reject this glad message, Shall never such happiness know.

Shall I, for Fear of Feeble Man

Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Shall I, for fear of feeble man. The Spirit's course in me restrain? Or undismayed in deed and word Be a true witness for the Lord? Awed by a mortal's frown, shall I Conceal the word of God most high? How then before Thee shall I dare To stand, or how Thine anger bear? 2. Shall I, to soothe th' unholy throng, Soften Thy truths and smooth my tongue, To gain earth's gilded toys or flee The cross, my God, endured by Thee? What, then, is he whose scorn I dread, Whose wrath or hate makes me afraid? A man - an heir of death - a slave To sin - a bubble on the wave. 3. Yea, let men rage, since Thou wilt spread Thy shadowy wings around my head, Since in all pain, Thy tender love. Will still my sure refreshment prove. Savior of men, Thy searching eye Doth all my inmost thoughts descry; Doth aught on earth my wishes raise, The world's vain pleasures, or its praise? 4. The love of Christ doth me constrain To seek the wand'ring souls of men; With cries, entreaties, tears to save, To snatch them from the gaping grave. For this let men revile my name, No cross I shun, I fear no shame- All hail reproach! and welcome pain! Thy terrors only Lord, restrain. 5. My life, my blood, I here present, If for Thy truth they may be spent; Fulfil Thy sov'reign counsel, Lord; Thy will be done, Thy name adored Give of Thy strength, O God of pow'r Then let winds blow, or thunders roar, Thy faithful witness will I be: 'Tis fixed- I can do all through Thee.

Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer, the sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. 4. Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of death; He enters heav'n with pray'r 5. Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice And cry, "Behold, he prays!" 6. The Saints in prayer appear as one In word and deed and mind, While with the Father and the Son Their fellowship they find. 7. Nor prayer is made on earth alone; The Holy Spirit pleads, And Jesus at the Father's throne For sinners intercedes. 8. O Thou by whom we come to God, The Life, the Truth, the Way! The path of prayer Thyself hast trod. Lord, teach us how to pray. Used With Tune: [Prayer is the soul's sincere desire]
