When I can read my title clear

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,247 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to every fear, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And hellish darts be hurl'd, Then I can smile at Satan's rage, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall; May I but safely reach my home, My God, my Heaven, my All;-- 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast.

When Jesus left His Father's throne

Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus left His Father's throne, He chose an humble birth; Like us, unhonour'd and unknown, He came to dwell on earth. Like Him, may we be found below, In Wisdom's paths of peace; Like Him, in grace and knowledge grow, As years and strength increase. 2 Sweet were His words, and kind His look, When mothers round Him press'd; Their infants in His arms He took, And on His bosom bless'd. Safe from the world's alluring harms, Beneath His watchful eye, Thus in the circle of His arms, May we for ever lie. 3 When Jesus into Salem rode, The children sang around; For joy they pluck'd the palms, and strow'd Their garments on the ground. Hosanna, our glad voices raise, Hosanna to our King! Should we forget our Saviour's praise, The stones themselves would sing. Topics: Offices of the Church Catechism

When, wounded sore, the stricken soul

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 104 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, wounded sore, the stricken soul Lies bleeding and unbound, One only hand, a piercèd hand, Can heal the sinner's wound. 2 When sorrow swells the laden breast, And tears of anguish flow, One only heart, a broken heart, Can feel the sinner's woe. 3 When penitence has wept in vain Over some foul, dark spot, One only stream, a stream of blood, Can wash away the blot. 4 'T is Jesus' blood that washes white, His hand that brings relief, His heart that's touch'd with all our joys, And feeleth for our grief. 5 Lift up Thy bleeding hand, O Lord! Unseal that cleansing tide; We have no shelter from our sin But in Thy wounded side.

Day of judgment, day of wonders

Appears in 341 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment, Day of wonders! Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! You who long for His appearing Then shall say, This God is mine; Gracious Saviour, Own me on that day for Thine. 3 At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea: All the powers of nature, shaken By His looks, prepare to flee: Careless sinner! What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confesséd, Loved, and served the Lord below, He will say, Come near, ye blesséd, Take the kingdom I bestow;: You for ever Shall My love and glory know.
