Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Satan, the dire invader, came Our new made world t’annoy; And death marched dreadful in his rear; His captives to destroy. 2 Caught in his snares, our father sank; With him his children fell; And death his fatal shaft prepared To smite them down to hell. 3 Jesus with pitying eye beheld, And left His starry crown; Turned his own weapons on the foe, And mowed his legions down. 4 By death the Savior death disarmed, That we in light may shine; And fixed this great, mysterious law, That dust should dust refine. 5 No more the pointed shaft we fear; Nor dread the monster’s boast; No more the pious dead we mourn, As friends for ever lost. 6 Their tongues, great Prince of life, shall join With our recovered breath, And all th’immortal host, t’ascribe Our victory to Thy death.

Bethlehem In Land Of Judah

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bethlehem in land of Judah, Who shall all thy glory tell? Out of thee the Lord from Heaven Came to rule His Israel. 2 Fairer than the sun at morning Was the star that told His birth, To the world its God announcing Seen in fleshly form on earth. 3 Eastern sages at His cradle Make oblations rich and rare; See them give, in deep devotion, Gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 4 Sacred gifts of mystic meaning; Incense doth their faith disclose, Gold their hearts’ best love proclaimeth, Myrrh obedience foreshows. 5 Jesus, whom the Gentiles worshipped At Thy glad epiphany, Unto Thee, our only Father, God, and Savior, glory be.

Savior King! In Hallowed Union

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior king! in hallowed union, At Thy sacred feet, we bow: Heart with heart, in blest communion, Join to crave Thy favor now. 2 Heavenly fount! Thy streams of blessing Oft have cheered us on our way: By Thy power and grace unceasing, We continue to this day. 3 Raise, we then, in glad emotion, Thankful lays; and, while we sing, Vow a pure, a full devotion To Thy work, O Savior king. 4 When we tell the wondrous story Of Thy rich, exhaustless love, Send Thy Spirit, Lord of glory, On the youthful heart to move. Oh, that He, the ever-living, May descend as fruitful rain; Till the wilderness, reviving, Blossom as the rose again. Then, may they, whom we have guided Life’s tempestuous ocean o’er, In the home Thou hast provided, Meet us, to depart no more. 5 There, beside the crystal river, Flowing from the eternal throne, Shall arise to Thee, forever, Praise more sweet than earth has known.

'Twas At The Matin Hour

Author: John Keble Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: ’Twas at the matin hour Lyrics: 1 ’Twas at the matin hour, Before the early dawn; The prison doors flew open, The bolts of death were drawn. 2 From realms unseen, an unseen way, Th’almighty Savior came, And following on His silent steps, An angel armed in flame. 3 The stone is rolled away, The keepers fainting fall, Satan and Pilate’s watchmen, The day has scared them all. 4 The angel came full early, But Christ has gone before; Not for Himself, but for His saints, Is burst the prison door. 5 When all His saints assemble, Make haste ere twilight cease, His Easter blessing to receive, And so lie down in peace.

Stichera of the Resurrection

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Wherefore on the Cross uplifted Lyrics: Wherefore on the Cross uplifted, Bore the Lord our anguish sore? That He might from suffering save us, By those wounds for evermore. Wherefore from the grave triumphant, Came our Lord that radiant day? That the bondage of corruption Might for ever yield its sway. Let the heavens resound with gladness, Praises ring through all the earth; Let the nations all before him, Clap their hands with joyous mirth. To the Cross that bore our Saviour Were our sins in mercy bound; By the death of Him Who loved us, Life for all mankind is found. Glory unto God the Father, Glory unto Christ the Son, Glory to the Holy Spirit, Now, and while the ages run. Text Sources: Parakletike, p. 2

Why should I deprive my neighbour

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: Why should I deprive my neighbour Of his goods against his will? Hands were made for honest labour, Not to plunder, or to steal. ’Tis a foolish self–deceiving By such tricks to hope for gain: All that’s ever got by thieving Turns to sorrow, shame, and pain. 102 Have not Eve and Adam taught us Their sad profit to compute, To what dismal state they brought us When they stole forbidden fruit? Oft we see a young beginner Practice little pilfering ways, Till grown up a harden’d sinner, Then the gallows ends his days. Theft will not be always hidden, Though we fancy none can spy: When we take a thing forbidden, God beholds it with his eye. Guard my heart, O God of heaven, Lest I covet what’s not mine; Lest I steal what is not given, Guard my heart and hands from sin.
