Jesus, the Rising Lord of All

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Jesus, the rising Lord of all, His love to man commends, Poor worms He blushes not to call His brethren and His friends. 2. Who basely all forsook their Lord In His distress, and fled, To these He sends the joyful word, When risen from the dead. 3. Go tell the vile deserters!—“No: My dearest brethren tell, Their Advocate to Heav’n I go, To rescue them from hell. 4. “Lo! to My father I ascend! Your Father now is He, My God, and yours, whoe’er depend For endless life on Me. 5. “Henceforth I ever live above For you to intercede, The merit of My dying love, For all mankind to plead. 6. Sinners, I rose again to show Your sins are all forgiv’n, And mount above the skies, that you May follow Me to Heav’n.

O Lord, 'Tis Matter of High Praise

Author: Benjamin Keach Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. O Lord, ’tis matter of high praise, Thy Word on us doth shine, But happy they who feel its rays, And glorious power divine. 2. O let poor sinners feel their sin Prick them, as with a sword; And purge out all that filth within; So will we praise Thy Word. 3. Enlightened souls have cause to sing, Who wounded were by Thee; True cause of joy to such doth spring; For they, Lord, healèd be. 4. And now in robes most richly decked, They to the King are brought; Surpassing angels, for have they A robe so richly wrought. 5. We therefore throw our crowns below Thy high and glorious throne; And must all say, both night and day, Thou worthy art alone, 6. All glory, power, and praise to have, By us forevermore; Thus let us sing unto our King, And Him in heart adore.

"There Is No God," So Saith The Fool

Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 "There is no God," so saith the fool In his vain heart alone. Ah, reckless seed and spurning rule! None doeth good, not one. 2 The Lord looked down from Heaven, and saw How man on earth abode; And none were there who loved His law, None sought the living God. 3 With thoughts corrupt, and conscience seared, In hateful ways they ran; In all the world no good appeared, Nor any righteous man. 4 "How blinded are their hearts," He said, "Who live in sin and shame! My people they devour as bread; They call not on My name." 5 In vain ye strive, O race abhorred, In vain ye fret and rage; For God is with His saints, the Lord Amidst His heritage. 6 O when will our redemption spring From Zion’s holy height? O when to Salem will her king Return with healing light? 7 When God shall hear His people’s voice, And break their galling chain, The face of Jacob will rejoice, And Israel smile again.

In love so near, be pleased to hear Thy little children’s praise. 4. O may that sign that we are Thine— Our Father, Savior, friend— Which sealed our brow, be on us now, And with us to the end. 5. Through all our way, and every day Believed, beloved, adored; Be this our grace, to see Thy face In Jesus Christ our Lord. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Church Monthly, July 1899

And with the blest assembly there, Sing His redeeming grace. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Sunday School Hymn Book (Philadelphia, American Sunday School Union, 1827)

Children, To Your Creator God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals First Line: Children, to your creator, God Lyrics: 1 Children, to your creator, God, Your early honors pay, While vanity and youthful blood Would tempt your thoughts astray. 2 The memory of His mighty name, Demands your first regard; Nor dare indulge a meaner flame, ’Till you have loved the Lord. 3 Be wise, and make His favor sure, Before the mournful days, When youth and mirth are known no more, And life and strength decays. 4 No more the blessings of a feast Shall relish on the tongue. The heavy ear forgets the taste And pleasure of a song. 5 Old age with all her dismal train, Invades your golden years With sighs and groans, and raging pain, And death that never spares. 6 What will you do when light departs, And leaves your withering eyes, Without one beam to cheer your hearts, From the superior skies? 7 How will you meet God’s frowning brow, Or stand before His seat, While nature’s old supporters bow, Nor bear their tottering weight? 8 Can you expect your feeble arms Shall make a strong defense, When death with terrible alarms, Summons the prisoner hence? 9 The silver bands of nature burst; And let the building fall; The flesh goes down to mix with dust, Its vile original. 10 Laden with guilt, (a heavy load) Uncleansed and unforgiv’n, The soul returns t’an angry God, To be shut out from Heav’n.

Ye ransomed nations, sing The praises of your Lord and God, The triumphs of your King. 2. He comes, and at His mighty word, The clouds are fleeting past, And o’er the land of promise see, The glory breaks at last. 3. There He, upon His ancient throne, His power and grace displays, While Salem with its echoing hills, Send forth the voice of praise. 4. Oh, let His praises fill the earth While all the blest above, In strains of loftier triumph still, Speak only of His love. 5. Sing, ye redeemed! Before the throne, Ye white-robed myriads fall; Sing—for the Lord of glory reigns, The Christ—the heir of all. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Selection of Hymns 1839
