The Awful Noontide Gloom Is O'er

Author: Archer T. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The awful noontide gloom is o’er Lyrics: 1 The awful noontide gloom is o’er, The darkness ebbs away; The Maries linger to adore: O, let us with them pray! 2 Yea, let us linger ’neath the cross Where hangs the Lord of Life; Now let us weep their bitter loss, And mourn our carnal strife. 3 More calmly now each past offense May we in grief review, And weep our vanished innocence, And feel despair our due. 4 Yet He upon the cross who lies For us hath pardon won; Thence blend we comfort with our sighs, And laud the glorious Son. 5 The hours creep on—O rest we here Beneath the cross’ shade! We’ll keep our vigil, sad yet dear, Till low our Lord is laid. 6 See! Joseph comes with spices’ store; See Nicodemus aid: They gaze upon their Lord once more While daylight’s rays do fade. 7 With pious haste and pious awe They soon their task complete; From those blest hands the nails they draw And free those sacred feet. 8 Then down the blessèd form they bear And low on earth to lay, And weeping bend in silent prayer, Yet scarce for tears can pray. 9 Now see that gracious company, The Maries, true Saint John, And those twain lords of high degree Now raise and bear Him on. 10 They bear Him to the new-hewn tomb, There down their Lord they set, And leave Him in the sacred gloom, Their Lord, and Savior yet. 11 O silent tears, O sighs of pain, How flowed ye fast and free! For them, for us, the Lamb was slain To all eternity. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: Lyra Messianica by Orby Shipley (London: Longman, Green, Longman, roberts & Green, 1864)

My God, How Many Are My Fears

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My God, how many are my fears! How fast my foes increase! Conspiring my eternal death, They break my present peace. 2. The lying tempter would persuade There’s no relief in Heav’n; And all my swelling sins appear Too big to be forgiv’n. 3. But Thou, my glory and my strength, Shalt on the tempter tread, Shalt silence all my threatening guilt, And raise my drooping head. 4. I cried, and from His holy hill He bowed a listening ear; I called my Father, and my God, And He subdued my fear. 5. He shed soft slumbers on mine eyes, In spite of all my foes; I woke, and wondered at the grace That guarded my repose. 6. What though the hosts of death and hell All armed against me stood, Terrors no more shall shake my soul; My refuge is my God. 7. Arise, O Lord, fulfill Thy grace, While I Thy glory sing; My God has broke the serpent’s teeth, And death has lost his sting. 8. Salvation to the Lord belongs; His arm alone can save; Blessings attend Thy people here, And reach beyond the grave. Used With Tune: WINDSOR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Today, O Lord, a Holier Work

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler & others Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Today, O Lord, a holier work Thy secret counsels frame, A king to rule Thy new made world, To praise Thy glorious name. 2. Thou formest man: Thy Spirit breathes Life into dust of earth: Man, in Thine own true image made, From Thee receives his birth. 3. And henceforth he dominion holds O’er all in earth and sea; Yet mindful whence his being came Must humbly walk with Thee. 4. Alas! his willful heart rebels Against Thy gentle sway; Proud dust of earth would fain be like The God whom all obey. 5. O griefs and sorrows numberless, Which hence the world o’erspread; Jesu, Thy mercy succored us, Or hope itself had fled. 6. O praise the Father, and the Son Who saved us by His death, And Holy Ghost who quickens us With His life giving breath.

As By One's Sin Fell All Our Kin

Author: Emanuel Cronenwett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As by one's sin fell all our kin, Conceived and born sin-stained, So by One's grace, who took the place Of all, are all regained. 2 The blood-red tide from Christ's cleft side, Shed for the good of all, Is laver pure to cleanse and cure All lost in Adam's fall. 3 Of it are born, though once forlorn, The saints in Him baptized; Its life receive all who believe That Jesus is the Christ. 4 His righteousness is crown and dress Of those who own Him Lord, Who, sin-oppressed, find in Him rest And keep His faithful Word. 5 To God be praise thro' endless days, In whom we live and move, God--Father, Son and Spirit--One, The Triune God of Love! Amen. Topics: Faith and Justification Used With Tune: WINDSOR

O Lord Of Life and Death

Author: John Ellerton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: O Lord of life and death, we come Lyrics: 1 O Lord of life and death, we come In sorrow to Thy throne; Yet not bewildered, blind and dumb, Before some power unknown. 2 The scourge is our Father’s hand; The plague comes forth from Thee; Oh, give us hearts to understand, And faith Thy ways to see! 3 Forgive the foul neglect that brought Thy chastening to our door; The homes uncared-for, souls untaught, The unregarded poor; 4 The slothful ease, the greed of gain, Tbe wasted years, forgive; Purge out our sins by needful pain, Then turn, and bid us live. 5 So shall the lives for which we plead Be spared to praise Thee still; And we, from fear and danger freed, Be strong to do Thy will.

He Comes, He Comes! The Son Of God

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 He comes, He comes! the Son of God Descends from yonder sky; Bright clouds compose His lofty seat, And round Him angels fly. 2 Millions of millions trembling stand Before His awful throne, Summoned a strict account to give, Of works which they have done. 3 Oh then may all my fears subside, My sins and sorrows end, And in the Judge may I behold My Savior and my friend.
