Jesus Is My Joy, My All

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Ahasuerus Fritsch Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus is my Joy, my All, He for me His life hath given; I am His, I hear His call; He hath writ my name in heaven. Earthly treasures pass away; Jesus I will love for aye. 2 Riches, pomp, and earthly joy Cannot tempt my soul from heaven; Gold is mingled with alloy, Bitterness with sweetness given, Riches flee and hopes decay; Jesus' grace abides alway. 3 In my Jesus I am blest, He to pleasant pastures leads me, Stills my soul and gives it rest, And with heavenly manna feeds me. Earthly things must face and fall; Jesus is my Life, my All. 4 Then away, O world! thy joy Leads the soul to grief and sorrow; Death is found in sin's employ Fears to-day, regrets to-morrow. Jesus only satisfies; Jesus points me to the skies! Amen.

Amen, Amen! 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Good will!" Amen! 3 Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea where darkness lay; These hear Thy voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen!" 4 Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to His Name, His love forthtell; Sing on, heaven's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power!

Awake! the Watchman Crieth

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Augustus Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake! the watchman crieth, On Zion's ramparts still! The Lord His grace supplieth, Repent, and heed His will. Life's journey fast is nearing The ever-lasting shore; The hour of death appearing, When time shall be no more. 2 Too late the sinners waken Where morn hath ceased to dawn; Where grace that was forsaken Is evermore withdrawn; Where's heard no praying sentence God's mercy to implore; For there is no repentance, When time shall be no more. 3 O souls who spurn salvation! See this eternity Of darkness, desolation, And constant agony. The torments none can banish, Nor aught can peace restore; And hope itself shall vanish, When time shall be no more! 4 Awake! the voice still soundeth; 'Tis now the accepted hour; The grace of God aboundeth To save from sin's dread power. Make haste, implore Christ's favor, Thy sins confess, and bow Before Thy Lord and Saviour; The accepted time is now. Amen.
