Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Holy, holy, holy Lord Lyrics: 1. Holy, holy, holy Lord, God the Father, and the Word, God the Comforter, receive Blessings more than we can give! Mixed with those beyond the sky, Chanters to the Lord Most High, We our hearts and voices raise, Echoing Thy eternal praise. 2. One, inexplicably Three, Three, in simplest Unity, God, incline Thy gracious ear, Us, Thy lisping creatures, hear! Thee while man, the earth-born, sings, Angels shrink within their wings; Prostrate seraphim above Breathe unutterable love. 3. Happy they who never rest, With Thy heavenly presence blest! They the heights of glory see, Sound the depths of Deity. Fain with them our souls would vie, Sink as low, and mount as high; Fall o’erwhelmed with love, or soar, Shout, or silently adore. Used With Tune: BENEVENTO Text Sources: Hymns on the Trinity, 1767

While with ceaseless course the sun

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 588 hymnals Lyrics: 1 While with ceaseless course the sun Hasted through the former year, Many souls their race have run, Never more to meet us here: Fixed in an eternal state, They have done with all below; We a little longer wait, But how little none can know. 2 As the winged arrow flies Speedily the mark to find, As the lightning from the skies Darts, and leaves no trace behind, Swiftly thus our fleeting days Bear us down life's rapid stream; Upward, Lord, our spirits raise, All below is but a dream. 3 Thanks for mercies past receive; Pardon of our sins renew; Teach us henceforth how to live With eternity in view; Bless thy Word to young and old; Fill us with a Saviour's love; And when life's short tale is told, May we dwell with thee above. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90:12 Used With Tune: BENEVENTO

Mary to the Savior's Tomb

Author: Simeon Butler Marsh, 1798-1875; John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 266 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Mary to the Savior’s tomb Hasted at the early dawn; Spice she brought, and rich perfume, But the Lord she loved had gone; For a while she lingering stood, Filled with sorrow and surprise, Trembling, while a crystal flood Issued from her weeping eye. 2. But her sorrow quickly fled When she heard His welcome voice; Christ had risen from the dead— Now He bids her heart rejoice. What a change His word can make, Turning darkness into day! Ye who weep for Jesus’ sake, He will wipe your tears away. 3. He who came to comfort her, When she thought her all was lost, Will for your relief appear, Tho’ you now are tempest-tossed. On His arm your burden cast; On His love your thoughts employ; Weeping for a while may last, But the morning brings the joy. Used With Tune: MARTYN
