The Night Is Far Spent

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 10.11.11.11 Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: The night is far spent, the day is at hand Lyrics: 1. The night is far spent, the day is at hand; Already the dawn may be seen in the sky; Rejoice then, ye saints, ’tis your Lord’s own command; Rejoice, for the coming of Jesus draws nigh. 2. How bright it will be, when Jesus appears! How welcome to those who have shared in His cross! A crown incorruptible then will be theirs, A rich compensation for suffering and loss. 3. Affliction is light compared to the day Of glory that then will from Heaven be revealed! The Savior is coming, His people may say, The Lord whom we look for, our sun and our shield. 4. O pardon us, Lord, that love to Thy name Is faint, with so much our affections to move! Our deadness shall fill us with grief and with shame, So much to be loved and so little to love! 5. O kindle within us holy desire, Like that which was found in Thy people of old! Who felt all Thy love, and whose hearts were on fire, While waiting in patience Thy face to behold!

Begone Unbelief

Author: John Newton Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 262 hymnals First Line: Begone unbelief, my Savior is near Lyrics: 1. Begone unbelief, my Savior is near, And for my relief will surely appear: By prayer let me wrestle, and He wilt perform, With Christ in the vessel, I smile at the storm. 2. Though dark be my way, since He is my Guide, ’Tis mine to obey, ’tis His to provide; Though cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail, The Word He has spoken shall surely prevail. 3. His love in time past forbids me to think He’ll leave me at last in trouble to sink; Each sweet Ebenezer I have in review, Confirms His good pleasure to help me quite through. 4. Determined to save, He watched o’er my path, When Satan’s blind slave, I sported with death; And can He have taught me to trust in His name, And thus far have brought me, to put me to shame? 5. Why should I complain of want or distress, Temptation or pain? He told me no less: The heirs of salvation, I know from His Word, Through much tribulation must follow their Lord. 6. How bitter that cup, no heart can conceive, Which He drank quite up, that sinners might live! His way was much rougher, and darker than mine; Did Jesus thus suffer, and shall I repine? 7. Since all that I meet shall work for my good, The bitter is sweet, the medicine is food; Though painful at present, wilt cease before long, And then, O! how pleasant, the conqueror’s song!

Delay Not, Delay Not, O Sinner, Draw Near

Author: T. Hastings Appears in 365 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near, The waters of life are now flowing for thee: No price is demanded, the Savior is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2. Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the vale of eternity's night. 3. Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? Amen.

The Greatness of God in Nature

Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: My soul, bless the Lord! Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic His state; The light is His garment, the skies are His shade, And over the waters His courts He has laid. 2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, The lightning and wind His mission perform; The earth He has founded her station to keep, And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3 O'er mountain and plain the dark waters raged; His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged; Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound, Forbidding the waters to cover the ground. 4 He causes the springs of water to flow In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below; Beside them with singing the birds greet the day. And there the beast gather their thirst to allay.

Thanksgiving Hymn

Author: Edwin McNeely Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Jehovah the Lord, our Saviour and King Lyrics: 1 Jehovah the Lord, our Saviour and King, Glad praises to Thee we ever shall sing; We come to Thine altar, the place of retreat, Where we shall find peace at Thine own mercy seat. 2 Thanksgivings we bring in our songs to Thee, For bounties of earth, for fruit of the tree, For glorious fountains of water so pure, For temples of worship all time to endure. 3 Abundant the yield of ripe fruited grain, From forest and field, from valley and plain; The verdant green pastures, so useful to man, Are tokens of blessings in Thy wondrous plan. 4 O Jesus our Lord, Thou ruler of all, Thou art ever true, whatever the call; Be Thou our defender in all time of stress, And help us live daily in true thankfulness. Amen. Topics: Thankfulness Used With Tune: LYONS
