Men Who Walk in Folly's Way

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Men who walk in folly’s way, And to evil turn aside, Find that sorrow will repay Those who wisdom’s laws have defied; Down to death’s dark portals led, They abhor their daily bread. 2. To Jehovah then they cry In their trouble and He saves, Sends compassionate reply Gives the health their spirit craves, Rescues them with gracious aid From the snares their folly led. 3. Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Let them all thank-offerings bring, Celebrate His deeds, and sing.

He Who Once in Righteous Vengeance

Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1. He who once in righteous vengeance Whelmed the world beneath the flood, Once again in mercy cleansed it With His own most precious blood, Coming from His throne on high On the painful cross to die. 2. O the wisdom of th’Eternal! O the depth of love divine! O the sweetness of that mercy Which in Jesus Christ did shine! We were sinners doomed to die; Jesus paid the penalty. 3. When before the Judge we tremble, Conscious of His broken laws, May the blood of His atonement Cry aloud, and plead our cause, Bid our guilty terrors cease, Be our pardon and our peace. 4. Prince and Author of salvation, Lord of Majesty supreme, Jesu, praise to Thee be given By the world Thou didst redeem; Glory to the Father be And the Spirit One with Thee.

Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, O come, Thou quickening Spirit, Thou forever art divine: Let Thy power never fail me, Always fill this heart of mine; Thus shall grace, and truth, and light, Dissipate the gloom of night. 2 Grant my mind and my affections Wisdom, counsel, purity, That I may be ever seeking Naught but that which pleases Thee. Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, And all error overthrow. 3 Lead me to green pastures, lead me By the true and living way; Shield me from each strong temptation, That might lead my heart astray; And if e'er my feet should turn, For each error let me mourn. 4 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty, Thou who makest all things new, Make Thy work within me perfect, Help me by Thy Word so true, Arm me with that sword of Thine, And the victory shall be mine. 5 In the faith, O make me steadfast; Let not Satan, death, or shame, Of my confidence deprive me; Lord, my refuge is Thy name. When the flesh inclines to ill, Let Thy Word prove stronger still. 6 And when my last hour is nearing, Oh, assure me ever more, As the chosen heir of heaven, Of that bliss for me in store, Greater far than tongue can tell, There, redeemed by Christ, to dwell.

Christians, Rise, Put On Your Armor

Author: J. C. Aaberg; H. A. Brorson; J. Falkner Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christians, rise, put on your armor; Men of Christ, assume your part. Satan, still the crafty charmer, Trains his host in all his art. As your sword Use God's Word, Hell is battling 'gainst the Lord. 2 Follow Christ, your great Commander, Lean upon His mighty arm; Satan, armed with guile and slander, Aims to do you naught but harm. Have no fear Christ is near, He as victor shall appear. 3 With the cross of Christ to lead you, Press ye onward in the strife. He who by the cross has freed you Fills the faintest heart with life, For each wound Balm is found In the joy of victors crowned. 4 Many hearts are filled with yearning And have yet no solace found. Men to God but partly turning Find that fear and woes abound. God will bless When the flesh By His Spirit we suppress. 5 Crowns are won by true endeavor, As all saints have testified. They have overcome forever, Strengthened by the Lamb that died. Likewise we Cannot be From the Christian's trials free. 6 Though our flesh to dust be turning, If our souls in God remain, On a glorious Easter morning Day for us shall break again. Easter day Holding sway, Death must yield its mighty prey. 7 Then the host of Christ shall gather At His throne a ransomed throng, Offering thanks to God, the Father, And to Christ salvation's song. Every tongue Shall this song Through eternity prolong. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Warfare; Processionals and Recessionals General Used With Tune: NEANDER

Let Us Sing, for We have Reason

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let us sing, for we have reason; Let us join with those above; Praise is never out of season; Let us praise the God of love; We have cause, indeed, to sing, Jesus is our glorious King. 2 When we reach the full enjoyment Of the state where sorrows end; Praise will be our sweet employment, We shall praise the sinner’s friend; Him who washed us with His blood, Saved, and brought us nigh to God. 3 But how diff’rent then our praises From the thanks we render now! Well our coldness may amaze us, When we think how much we owe; But no coldness will remain When that glorious state we gain. 4 Yet our Lord accepts our praises, Offered while we sojourn here; He on whom th’archangel gazes With delight and holy fear, Hears His people when they sing, And accepts the praise they bring.
