Methinks I Stand Upon The Rock

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Methinks I stand upon the rock Where Balaam stood, and wondering look Upon the scene below: The tents of Jacob goodly seem, The people happy I esteem, Whom God has favored so. 2 The sons of Israel stand alone, Jehovah claims them for His own, His cause and theirs the same: He saved them from the tyrant’s hand, Allots to them a pleasant land, And calls them by His name. 3 Their toils have almost reached a close, And soon in peace they shall repose Within the promised land: E’en now its rising hills are seen, Enriched with everlasting green, Where Israel soon shall stand. 4 O Israel, who is like to thee? A people saved, and called to be Peculiar to the Lord! Thy shield! He guards thee from the foe; Thy sword! He fights thy battles, too; Himself thy great reward! 5 Fear not, though many should oppose, For God is stronger than thy foes, And makes thy cause His own: The promised land before thee lies, Go up, and take the glorious prize Reserved for thee alone. 6 In glory there the King appears; He wipes away His people’s tears, And makes their sorrows cease: From toil and strife they there repose, And dwell secure from all their foes, In everlasting peace. 7 Fair emblem of a better rest, Of which believers are possessed, Beyond material space! Methinks I see the distant shore, Where sin and sorrow are no more; And long to reach the place. 8 Nor shall I always absent be From Him my soul desires to see, Within the realms of light; Ere long my Lord will rend the veil, And not a cloud shall then conceal His glory from my sight. 9 Sweet hope! it makes the coward brave; It makes a freeman of the slave, And bids the sluggard rise; It lifts a worm of earth on high, It gives him wings, and makes him fly To worlds beyond the skies.

O Deus De Santidade E Amor

Author: Daniel Borges Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O Deus de santidade e amor, Fidelidade me ensinou. Eu era um pecador, Mas Deus veio me consolar, Ao Seu lado vou caminhar… Até ao céu chegar. 2 Oh Abençoou me Jesus! Com Sua Graça e Sua Luz; Sua vida Ele doou, Um pecador Ele salvou, Não só livre para louvar, Mas como herdeiro andar. 3 Sim meu Jesus morreu na cruz, E ao Senhor obedeceu, Nossa grandiosa Luz, Pra resgatar o barro Seu. Grande sinal do Seu amor; Vir pelo pecador. 4 Os meus irmãos eu vou rever, No celestial e lindo Lar, Coroado vou ser, Há tempo estou a almejar, Jesus vem me recompensar… É necessário crer!

O Thou, Who Plead'st The Widow's Cause

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: O Thou, who plead’st the widow’s cause Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who plead’st the widow’s cause, Who only canst repair my loss, And sweeten all my woe, Distressed, disconsolate, forlorn, Let me in Thy dear bosom mourn, Nor other comfort know. 2 A desolate soul, Thou know’st, I am; For Thou hast called me by my name, Thy poor afflicted one, Hast in the fiery furnace tried, And chose a mourner for Thy bride, When all my joys were gone. 3 The soul whom more than life I loved, Thy jealous mercy hath removed, To make me wholly Thine: With streaming eyes the Hand I see, And bow me to the just decree, And bless the love Divine. 4 Still would I pour my mournful tears, And all my solemn days, or years, In sacred sadness spend; Instant in strong effectual prayers, Till death release me from my cares, And faith in vision end. 5 For this I in Thy Spirit groan, Forsaken, comfortless, alone I would with God abide; Cut off from man, to Jesus cleave, And never for a moment leave My heav’nly Bridegroom’s side. 6 Allow, dear Lord, the widow’s plea, And oh! shut up my soul with Thee, Against the nuptial feast; Make ready for that glorious day, And then Thy spotless bride convey To Thine eternal rest.

Gladly I Take Thy Love's Advice

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Gladly I take Thy love’s advice Lyrics: 1 Gladly I take Thy love’s advice, While without money, without price, I come Thy grace to buy, Faith as the golden bullion pure, Which can the fiery test endure, And all my wants supply. 2 I come to buy that richest dress, The saints’ unspotted holiness, The covering from above; To swallow up my sinful shame, Whate’er I have, whate’er I am, In purity of love. 3 All things that I may clearly see, The Spirit which proceeds from Thee, The unction I implore: O might I now the blessing gain, The sight of Thee my Lord obtain, And never lose it more. 4 Jesus, Thy promised Spir’t impart, To cure the blindness of my heart, Mine unbelief to chase, That I Thine open face may see, And spend a blest eternity In ecstasies of praise.

Jehovah from His Throne on High

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jehovah from His throne on high Looks down with clear and searching eye On all that dwell below; And He that fashioned heart and mind Looks ever down on all mankind, The works of men to know. 2. Not human strength nor mighty hosts, Not charging steeds or warlike boasts Can save from overthrow; But God will save from death and shame All those who fear and trust His name, And they no want shall know. 3. Our hope is on Jehovah stayed, In Him our hearts are joyful made, Our help and shield is He; Our trust is in His holy name, Thy mercy, Lord, in faith we claim, As we have hoped in Thee.
