I hate the tempter and his charms
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics:
I hate the tempter and his charms,
I hate his flatt'ring breath;
The serpent takes a thousand forms
To cheat our souls to death.
He feeds our hopes with airy dreams,
Or kills with slavish fear;
And holds us still in wide extremes,
Presumption or despair.
Now he persuades, "How easy 'tis
To walk the road to heav'n;"
Anon he swells our sins, and cries,
"They cannot be forgiv'n."
[He bids young sinners "yet forbear
To think of God, or death;
For prayer and devotion are
But melancholy breath."
He tells the aged, "they must die,
"And 'tis too late to pray;
In vain for mercy now they cry,
For they have lost their day."]
Thus he supports his cruel throne
By mischief and deceit,
And drags the sons of Adam down
To darkness and the pit.
Almighty God, cut short his power,
Let him in darkness dwell
And that he vex the earth no more,
Confine him down to hell.

Oh, Freedom
Lo! the destroying angel flies
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics:
Lo, the destroying angel flies
To Pharaoh's stubborn land;
The pride and flower of Egypt dies
By his vindictive hand.
He passed the tents of Jacob o'er,
Nor poured the wrath divine;
He saw the blood on every door,
And blessed the peaceful sign.
Thus the appointed Lamb must bleed,
To break the Egyptian yoke;
Thus Isr'el is from bondage freed,
And 'scapes the angel's stroke.
Lord, if my heart were sprinkled too
With blood so rich as thine,
Justice no longer would pursue
This guilty soul of mine.
Jesus our passover was slain,
And has at once procured
Freedom from Satan's heavy chain,
And God's avenging sword.

For now, behold, to enter in,
the King of glory waits,

5 Who is this glorious King that comes
to sit upon the throne?
All hail the Lord of Hosts, who is
our glorious King alone,
our glorious King alone.

Behold, a rose is growing
Author: Harriet Reynolds Spaeth, 1847-1925; John Caspar Mattes Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 Behold, a rose is growing,
of loveliest form and grace,
as prophets sang, foreknowing;
it springs from Jesse's race,
and comes a perfect flower,
in midst of coldest winter,
at deepest midnight hour.
2 Isaiah hath foretold it
in words of promise sure,
and Mary's arms enfold it -
a gentle maiden pure.
Through God's eternal will
this child to her is given
at midnight calm and still.
3 This rose, whose fragrance tender
with sweetness fills the air,
dispels with glorious splendour
the darkness everywhere.
As human, yet true God,
from sin and death he saves us
and lightens every load.
4 0 Saviour, child of Mary,
you felt our human woe;
O Saviour, King of glory.
you all our weakness know.
Lead us at last, we pray.
to the full joys of heaven
and into endless day. Topics: Christmas Eve; Jesus Christ Humanity; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Mystery of God's Love; Prophetic Witness; Virgin Mary Used With Tune: ES IST EIN ROS Text Sources: Anon. German, 15th cent.
