How Meanly Dwells Th' Immortal Mind

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: How meanly dwells th’immortal mind! Lyrics: 1 How meanly dwells th’immortal mind! How vile these bodies are! Why was a clod of earth designed T’enclose a heavenly star? 2 Weak cottage, where our souls reside! This flesh a tottering wall; With frightful breaches, gaping wide, The building bends to fall. 3 All round it storms of trouble blow, And waves of sorrow roll; Cold waves and winter storms beat through, And pain the tenant-soul. 4 "Alas! how frail our state!" said I: And thus went mourning on, Till, sudden from the clearing sky, A gleam of glory shone. 5 My soul all felt the glory come, And breathed her native air; Then she remembered Heaven her home, And she a prisoner here. 6 Straight she began to change her key, And joyful in her pains, She sung the frailty of her clay In pleasurable strains. 7 “How weak the prison where I dwell! Flesh, but a tottering wall, The breaches cheerfully foretell, The house must shortly fall. 8 “No more, my friends, shall I complain, Though all my heart-strings ache; Welcome, disease, and every pain, That makes the cottage shake. 9 “Now let the tempest blow all round, Now swell the surges high, And beat this house of bondage down, To let the stranger fly. 10 “I have a mansion built above, By the eternal hand; And should the earth’s old basis move, My heav’nly house must stand. 11 "Yes, for ’tis there my Savior reigns, (I long to see the God) And His immortal strength sustains The courts that cost Him blood." 12 Hark, from on high my Savior calls; "I come, my Lord, my love." Devotion breaks the prison walls, And speeds my last remove. Used With Tune: CORONATION Text Sources: Horae Lyricae and Divine Songs

Behold the Mountain of the Lord

Author: Logan Appears in 184 hymnals First Line: Behold, the mountain of the Lord Lyrics: 1. Behold, the mountain of the Lord In latter days shall rise, On mountaintops, above the hills, And draw the wond'ring eyes. On mountaintops, above the hills, And draw the wond'ring eyes. 2. To this the joyful nations round, All tribes and tongues, shall flow, "Up to the hill of God", they'll say, "And to His house we'll go." "Up to the hill of God", they'll say, "And to His house we'll go." 3. The rays that shine from Zion's hill Shall lighten ev'ry land; The King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs Shall all the world command The King who reigns in Salem's tow'rs Shall all the world command 4. Among the nations He shall judge, His judgments truth shall guide, His sceptre shall protect the just, And quell the sinner's pride. 5. No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds Disturb those peaceful years; To plowshares men shall beat their swords To pruning-hooks their spears. 6. No longer host, encount'ring host, Shall crowds of slain deplore; They'll hang the trumpet in the hall, And study war no more. 7. Come, then, O house of Jacob, come, To worship at His shrine, And, walking in the light of God, With holy beauties shine. Used With Tune: [Behold, the mountain of the Lord]
