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.

"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.

Day After Day I Sought the Lord

Author: Julius C. Hare Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Day after day I sought the Lord, And waited patiently; Until He bent down from His throne, And hearkened to my cry. 2. He drew me from the fearful pit, And from the miry clay; He placed my feet upon a rock, And led me in His way. 3. He taught my soul a new-made song, A song of holy praise, All they who see these things, with fear Their hopes to God shall raise. 4. Most blessèd is the man whose hope Upon the Lord relies; Who follows not the proud, nor those That turn aside to lies. 5. O Lord, what wonders hast Thou wrought, All number far above! Thy thoughts to us-ward overflow With mercy, grace, and love. 6. Show forth Thy mercy, gracious Lord; O take it not away! Thy loving kindness and Thy truth, Let them be still my stay. 7. For countless sorrows hem me round; And my iniquities So hold me fast, and drag me down, I cannot raise my eyes. 8. My hairs in number they surpass; Hence is my heart dismayed; Vouchsafe, O Lord, to rescue me! O hasten to my aid. 9. Let those who seek Thee faithfully In peace and joy abide; Let those who love Thy grace still say, The Lord be magnified. 10. Poor am I, and in need; yet God Care of my soul doth take. Thou art my help; my Savior Thou; Lord, no long tarrying make. Used With Tune: ABERDEEN Text Sources: Portions of the Psalms in English Verse, 1839
