Arise, My Gracious God

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Arise, my gracious God, And make the wicked flee; They are but Thy chastising rod, To drive Thy saints to Thee. 2. Behold, the sinner dies, His haughty words are vain; Here in this life his pleasure lies, And all beyond is pain. 3. Then let his pride advance, And boast of all his store; The Lord is my inheritance, My soul can wish no more. 4. I shall behold the face Of my forgiving God; And stand complete in righteousness, Washed in my Savior’s blood. 5. There is a new heav’n begun, When I awake from death, Dressed in the likeness of Thy Son, And draw immortal breath. Used With Tune: CAMBRIDGE (Harrison) Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

He is thy sun and day; His is the radiance of thy dawn, To Him address thy lay. 2 Sing a new song at morn! Join the glad woods and hills; Join the fresh winds and seas and plains, Join the bright flowers and rills. 3 Sing thy first song to God Not to thy fellow man; Not to the creatures of His hand, But to the glorious One. 4 Awake, cold lips, and sing! Arise, dull knees, and pray; Lift up, O man, thy heart and eyes; Brush slothfulness away. 5 Look up, beyond these clouds! Thither thy pathway lies; Mount up, away, and linger not, Thy goal is yonder skies. 6 Cast every weight aside! Do battle with each sin; Fight with the faithless world without, The faithless heart within. 7 Take thy first meal with God! He is thy heavenly food; Feed with and on Him; He with thee Will feast in brotherhood. 8 Take thy first walk with God! Let Him go forth with thee; By stream or sea or mountain path, Seek still His company. 9 Thy first transaction be With God Himself above; So shall thy business prosper well, And all the day be love.

The heavenly King must come

Author: Rev. H. A. Martin Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The heavenly King must come His desert realm to see; Must leave His own eternal home, And all His majesty. 2 And lo! before Him sent His herald, who must cry And never spare, "Repent, repent! Your King, your God, is nigh!" 3 He, when his work is done, Must see his light decay, Must hail with joy the brighter Sun, The glorious King of day. 4 O Lord, O King, O Sun, Whose messenger he came, Baptize us all, most holy One, In Thy refining flame. 5 Give us Thy grace, that we All evil may forsake, May boldly speak the truth for Thee, The lowest place may take. 6 So, when Thou com'st again, Thy realm redeemed to see, Thy steps shall find 'mid hearts of men A way made straight for Thee. Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Nativity of St. John the Baptist; Associations or Guilds; Confession of Christ Used With Tune: [The heavenly King must come]

Light Of The Gentile Race

Author: William Sanders; Hugh Bourne Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile race, Appear in every heart; And may the nations taste Thy grace, And with their idols part. 2 Thou send’st Thy heralds forth, To preach in every land; To east and west, to south and north, They run at Thy command. 3 Let Jews and Gentiles come, And fall before Thy throne; O bring the wandering exiles home, To Thee the great Three-One. 4 Now let Thy Gospel run, And sin and Satan fall, That all who dwell beneath the sun May crown Thee Lord of all.
