The Saviour bids us watch and pray

Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Saviour bids us watch and pray Through time's brief, fleeting hour, And gives the Spirit's quickening ray To those who seek its power. 2 The Saviour bids us watch and pray, Maintain a warrior's strife; Help, Lord, to hear thy voice to-day; Obedience is our life. 3 The Saviour bids us watch and pray; For quickly he will come, To call us from our toils away To our eternal home. 4 The Saviour bids us watch and pray; For lo! the Judge is near; O may we joyfully obey, And watch till he appear!

Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O how I long with Christ to be, And in his presence rest! He draws my soul most wondrously; I to his bosom haste. 2 Me for thy coming, Lord, prepare; Grant I may ready be Whene'er thou comest, without fear To meet and welcome thee. 3 Meanwhile may I in spirit view Thy sufferings, cross, and death; These to my heart be daily new, While thou shalt give me breath. 4 Thus will my wants be well supplied, Thus will my soul with grace Abundantly be satisfied, And kept in heavenly peace.

Who Dares Attempt Th'Eternal Name?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name Lyrics: 1 Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name With notes of mortal sound? Dangers and glories guard the theme, And spread despair around. 2 Destruction waits t’obey His frown, And Heav’n attends His smile; A wreath of lightning arms His crown, But love adorns it still. 3 Celestial King, our spirits lie Trembling beneath Thy feet, And wish, and cast a longing eye, To reach Thy lofty seat. 4 When shall we see the Great Unknown, And in Thy presence stand? Reveal the splendors of Thy throne, But shield us with Thy hand. 5 In Thee what endless wonders meet! What various glory shines! The crossing rays too fiercely beat Upon our fainting minds. 6 Angels are lost in sweet surprise If Thou unveil Thy grace; And humble awe runs thro’ the Skies, When wrath arrays Thy face. 7 When mercy joins with majesty To spread their beams abroad, Not all the fairest minds on high Are shadows of a God. 8 Thy works the strongest seraph sings In far too feeble strain. And labors hard on all his strings To reach Thy thoughts in vain. 9 Created powers, how weak they be! How short our praises fall! So much akin to nothing we, And Thou th’Eternal All.
