Praise Waits in Sion, Lord, for Thee

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Praise waits in Sion, Lord, for Thee; There shall our vows be paid: Thou hast an ear when sinners pray; All flesh shall seek Thine aid. 2. Lord, our iniquities prevail, But pardoning grace is Thine; And Thou will grant us power and skill To conquer every sin. 3. Blessed are the men whom Thou wilt choose To bring them near Thy face, Give them a dwelling in Thine house, To feast upon Thy grace. 4. In answering what Thy Church requests Thy truth and terror shine, And works of dreadful righteousness Fulfill Thy kind design. 5. Thus shall the wondering nations see The Lord is good and just; And distant islands fly to Thee And make Thy name their trust. 6. They dread Thy glittering tokens, Lord, When signs in Heav’n appear; But they shall learn Thy holy Word, And love as well as fear. Used With Tune: YORK Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Behold, That Great And Awful Day

Author: Unknown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals First Line: Behold that great and awful day Lyrics: 1 Behold that great and awful day Of parting soon will come, When sinners must be hurled away; And Christians gathered home! 2 They one with Dives for water cry, And gnaw their tongues in pain, They gnash their teeth and crisp and fry, And wring their hands in vain. 3 Now hail! all hail! ye frightful ghosts, With whom I once did dwell, And spent my days in frantic mirth, And danced my soul to hell! 4 You me about the floor did drag, And caused my soul to sin; And devils now your mouth shall gag, And force the fuel in. 5 Perhaps the parent sees the child Sink down to endless flames, With shrieks, and howls, and bitter cries, Never to rise again. 6 O father! see my blazing hands, And mother! see your child! Against you now, a witness stands, Amidst the flames confined! 7 The child, perhaps, the parents view, Go headlong down to hell: Gone with the rest of Satan’s crew, And bid the child farewell! 8 The husband sees his piteous wife, With whom he once did dwell, Depart with groans and bitter cries, My husband! fare you well! 9 But O, perhaps, the wife may see, The man she once did love, Sink down to endless misery, While she is crowned above! 10 Then shall the saints through grace combined, Drink in eternal love: In Jesus’ image there to shine, And reign with Him above. 11 O how it lifts my soul to think, Of meeting round the throne, Eternal joys there for to drink, Where sorrows never come.

O Night Of Nights, Supreme Delights

Author: John C. Earle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O night of nights, supreme delights, Thy watches charm and bless; And joys of Heav’n, profusely giv’n, Refresh earth’s wilderness. 2 The sad, sick world through Eve lies furled In clouds of death and night; But God doth rise in human guise To be its life and light. 3 Whom angels own as God alone, Is clothed by mortal hands; In cattle stall, the Lord of all Sleeps clasped in swathing bands. 4 In cradle laid, His voice is stayed, Who is th’eternal Word: The sun grows pale, his forces fail; What means all we have heard? 5 O shaft of love, to God above A rock hewn home is giv’n: Farewell ye stars; hail, crib and bars; A manger is my heaven.

All Round The Globe Does Satan Trace

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: All round the globe does Satan trace Lyrics: 1 All round the globe does Satan trace, Nor keeps a certain road; Sworn foe to all the human race, And enemy to God. 2 He forms his plots and lays them deep, Th’unwary to decoy; Lo, now he flies, and now he creeps, To ruin and destroy. 3 Alluring baits does he present, To draw the soul to sin; Excites to wrath and discontent, Works every lust within. 4 Let rich and poor, and young and old, Of Satan’s wiles beware; He to presumption tempts the bold, The timid to despair. 5 He wanders still from place to place, And waits th’unguarded hour, The truly pious to distress, The wicked to devour. 6 But thanks to our almighty king, Who does his power restrain; If Jesus His assistance bring, The tempter tempts in vain.

This World Is All Enchanted Ground

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This world is all enchanted ground, O whither shall I fly? The vengeful flames are kindling round, And if I stop, I die. 2 When some kind hand has brought me forth, How lingering is my pace! Lord, either drive me by Thy wrath, Or draw me by Thy grace. 3 O let me not a moment waste, On this destructive plain; Hence let me flee with greater haste, Till I the Zoar gain.
