I hate the tempter and his charms

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom 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. Scripture: Psalm 72

Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic His state; The light is His garment, the skies are His shade, And over the waters His courts He has laid. 2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, The lightning and wind His mission perform; The earth He has founded her station to keep, And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3 O'er mountain and plain the dark waters raged; His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged; Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound, Forbidding the waters to cover the ground. 4 He causes the springs of water to flow In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below; Beside them with singing the birds greet the day. And there the beast gather their thirst to allay. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: LYONS

Great God! to what a glorious height

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Exaltation of Christ Lyrics: 1 Great God! to what glorious height Hast Thou advanced the Lord, Thy Son! Angels, in all their robes of light, Are made the servants of His throne. 2 Before His feet their armies wait, And swift as flames of fire they move, To manage His affairs of state, In works of vengeance, or of love. 3 Now they are sent to guide our feet, Up to the gates of Thine abode, Through all the dangers that we meet, In trav'ling o'er the heavenly road. 4 Lord! when I leave this mortal ground, And Thou shalt bid us rise and come-- Send Thy belovéd angels down, Safe to conduct our spirits home.

Awake, our souls, away, our fears

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 406 hymnals Topics: Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom Lyrics: Awake, our souls; away, our fears, Let every trembling thought begone; Awake, and run the heav'nly race, And put a cheerful courage on. True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, And mortal spirits tire and faint; But they forget the mighty God, That feeds the strength of every saint. Thee, mighty God! whose matchless power Is ever new and ever young, And firm endures, while endless years Their everlasting circles run. From thee, the overflowing spring, Our souls shall drink a fresh supply, While such as trust their native strength Shall melt away, and droop, and die. Swift as an eagle cuts the air, We'll mount aloft to thine abode On wings of love our souls shall fly, Nor tire amidst the heav'nly road. Scripture: Isaiah 40:28-31

At the Font We Start Our Journey

Author: Jeffery Rowthorn Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Grace of Jesus Christ Christ's Resurrection and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 At the font we start our journey, in the Easter faith baptized; doubts and fears no longer blind us, by the light of Christ surprised. Alleluia! Alleluia! Hope held out and realized. 2 At the pulpit we are fashioned by the Easter tale retold into witnesses and prophets, by the power of Christ made bold. Alleluia! Alleluia! Faith proclaimed, yet still untold. 3 At the altar we are nourished with the Easter gift of bread; in our breaking it to pieces see the love of Christ outspread. Alleluia! Alleluia! Life embraced, yet freely shed. 4 At the door we are commissioned, now the Easter victory's won, to restore a world divided to the peace of Christ as one. Alleluia! Alleluia! Easter's work must still be done. Scripture: Acts 10:36-43 Used With Tune: LAUDA ANIMA
