By whose watchful care repelling— King of everlasting grace— Every ghostly adversary, All things evil, all things base, Grant us of Thine only goodness, In Thy paradise a place. 4. Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One, Consubstantial, co-eternal, While unending ages run.

Who Is This Who Comes from Edom?

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Who is this who comes from Edom? All his raiment stained with blood, To the captive speaking freedom, Bringing and bestowing good, Glorious in the garb he wears, Glorious in the spoil he bears? 2. 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious, Trav'ling onward in his might; 'Tis the Savior, oh how glorious, To His people is the sight! Jesus now has paid the cost, Mighty to redeem the lost. 3. Why that blood His raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of His foes are none remaining, None the contest to maintain: Low they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4. Mighty Victor, reign forever, Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall your people, never, Cease to sing what you have done: You have fought your people's foes; Thou will heal your people's woes.

Now, My Soul, Thy Voice Upraising

Author: Claude de Santeüil Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now, my soul, thy voice upraising, Tell in sweet and mournful strain How the Crucified, enduring Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, Freely of His love was offered, Sinless, was for sinners slain. 2 Scourged with unrelenting fury For the sins which we deplore, By His livid stripes He heals us, Raising us to fall no more; All our bruises gently soothing, Binding up the bleeding sore. 3 See! His hands and feet are fastened; So He makes His people free; Not a wound whence blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be: Yea, the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the tree. 4 Through His heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die; Blood and water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery; Water, from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood, to win us crowns on high. 5 Jesus, may those precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford: Let them be our present healing, And at length our great reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee, its redeeming Lord. Amen.

Nothing Know We of the Season

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Nothing know we of the season When the world shall pass away; But we know, the saints have reason To expect a glorious day; When the Savior shall return, And His people cease to mourn. 2. While a careless world is sleeping, Then it is the day will come; Mirth will then be turned to weeping, Sinners then must meet their doom; But the people of the Lord Shall obtain their bright reward. 3. O what sacred joys await them! They shall see the Savior then; Those who now oppose and hate them Never can oppose again; Brethren, let us think of this: All is ours, if we are His. 4. Waiting for the Lord’s returning, Be it ours His word to keep; Let our lamps be always burning; Let us watch while others sleep; We’re no longer of the night; We are children of the light. 5. Being of the favored number Whom the Savior calls His own, ’Tis not meet that we should slumber, Nothing should be left undone: This should be His people’s aim, Still to glorify His name!

O My Savior, I Adore Thee

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O my Savior, I adore Thee, Who hast sealed me with Thy seal; Hear me as I come before Thee, And Thy tender grace reveal; Show the way of love to me Lest my feet should stray from Thee. 2 I was blind, no token seeing Of Thy boundless love for me; I was deaf, a wretched being, Lame, enslaved, and lost to Thee; Now I feel Thy love's caress, Robed in Thine own righteousness. 3 But Thy love, so strong and tender, Also kindles love in me, That I willingly may render Heart and soul and all to Thee; Help me, then, Thy will to do As Thy servant good and true. 4 This is what Thou, Lord, demandest Of Thy servant evermore; Wanton sinners Thou withstandest Who will not Thy grace implore; Only what Thy grace has wrought In Thy sight will count for aught. 5 O Lord Jesus, I will rest me In Thy love thro'out life's day; Of all selfishness divest me, Fill my heart with love's bright ray; Let Thy Spirit purge my heart And each day new life impart. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer; Processionals and Recessionals General Used With Tune: PRESCOTT Text Sources: From the French
