Mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy, But mercy now triumphant reigns. 4 Believers, hail your rising Head, See Jesus coming from the dead, Your resurrection's sure, through his, To endless life,and boundless bliss. Endless, endless, endless, endless, To endless life, and boundless bliss. Topics: Christ His resurrection

The Lord his people's shepherd

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 552 hymnals First Line: The Lord my pasture shall prepare Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a shepherd's care; His presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful eye. 2 My noonday steps he shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend; When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant. 3 To fertile vales and dewy meads, My weary, wand'ring steps he leads; Where peaceful rivers soft and slow, Amid the verdant landskips flow. 4 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My stedfast heart shall fear no ill, For thou, O Lord, art with me still. 5 Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade, Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious lonely wilds I stray. 6 Thy bounty shall my pains beguile, The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden green and herbage crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around.

The sovereign call of Christ

Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: In his own appointed hour Lyrics: 1 In his own appointed hour, To my heart the Saviour spoke; Touch's me by his spirit's pow'r, And my dang'rous slumber broke. 2 Then I saw and own'd my guilt, Soon my gracious Lord reply'd: "Fear not, I my blook have spilt, 'Twas for such as thee I dy'd." 3 Shame and wonder, joy and love, All at once possess'd my heart; Can I hope thy grace to prove, After acting such a part? 4 "Thou hast greatly sinn'd, he said, But I freely all forgive; I myself the debt have paid, Now I bid thee rise and live."

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Awake, my soul, tune ev'ry string Lyrics: Part I Christ's birth and life: 1 Awake, my soul, tune ev'ry string, In God thy Saviour's praise, Join with the heav'nly hosts and sing The highest notes they raise. 2 Tell how the glorious Son of God, Forsook the realms of bliss, Descended to our guilty world, Proclaiming life and peace. 3 Angelic hosts declare his birth, "Glory to God on high, "Good will to men and peace on earth! "Behold the Saviour nigh! 4 "To Bethl'em's city quick repair," Th' etherial spirits cry, "And see the promis'd Saviour there, "Low in a manger lie. 5 "With humble faith and holy fear "Go visit Christ your king." Their heav'nly notes the shepherds hear, And join the praise they sing. 6 On Jordan's banks th' eternal God His birth divine declares; "This is my son!" Lo! on his head The heav'nly dove appears. 7 Holy his life, his doctrines true; (How bright the godhead shone!) Diseases heard and Satan knew, That what he spake was done. Part II Christ's death, resurrection ascension and intercession: 8 Behold the Saviour on the tree, With arms extended wide! From death a sinful world to free, He groan'd, and bled, and dy'd! 9 The sun astonish'd veil'd its face, When the Creator bled; His groans the earth and rocks displace, And wake the sleeping dead. 10 But when th' appointed hour was come, The sleeping Saviour wakes; Behold! he rises from the tomb, And death a captive makes. 11 On the eternal God's right hand The great Redeemer sits; Both heav'n and earth to his command The Father now commits. 12 Our advocate himself he stiles, The sinner's cause he pleads, Through him the Father looks and smiles, While thus he intercedes. 13 Whom once he loves he'll ne'er forget, His counsels guide them still; His grace their weary souls will seat On heav'ns eternal hill. 14 Reviving though! then humble soul, With courage venture on! Though earth and hell against thee roll, In Christ the battle's won. Topics: Christ His death; Christ His incarnation; Christ His intecession; Christ His resurrection

And the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way

Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: How many and great are the foes which infest Lyrics: 1 How many and great are the foes which infest The way thro' this world to the Canaan of rest? The traveller ever his Lord would obey, Yet oft is discourag'd because of the way. 2 Though Satan, the world, and corruptions combine, And try to prevent the poor Pilgrim's design; They cannot destroy, though they often betray, And make him discourag'd because of the way. 3 When good he would do, imperfections abound, His graces are weak, and temptations surround; For many turn back, and would lead him astray, Which makes him discourag'd because of the way. 4 Yet why should the Christian of Canaan despair, Perplex'd or alarm'd with dishonoring fear? Let him but his map and his leader obey, Nor more be discourag'd because of the way. 5 In Christ inexhaustible treasures are stor'd, And Jesus will suitable blessings afford; Then why should the Pilgrim be fill'd with dismay? Or why be discourag'd because of the way? 6 Unquenchable love and omnipotent pow'r, Will land him ere long on the heav'nly shore; There pleasure eternal will amply repay For all the discouragements found in the way.

Old things are passed away

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals First Line: Let carnal minds the world pursue Lyrics: 1 Let carnal minds the world pursue, It has no charms for me; Once I admir'd its trifle too, But grace has set me free. 2 Its pleasures now no longer please, No more content afford; Far from my heart be joys like these, Now I have seen the Lord. 3 As by the light of opening day, The stars are all conceal'd; So earthly pleasures fade away, When Jesus is reveal'd. 4 Creatures no more divide my choice, I bid them all depart; His name, and love, and gracious voice, Have fix'd my roving heart. 5 Now, Lord, I would be thine alone, And wholly live to thee; But may I hope that thou wilt own A worthless worm like me? 6 Yes, though of sinners I'm the worst, I cannot doubt thy will; For if thou hadst not lov'd me first, I had refus'd thee still.
