This is the day the Lord hath made

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 607 hymnals Lyrics: 1 This is the day the Lord hath made; He calls the hours His own. Let heaven rejoice, let earth be glad, And praise surround the throne. 2 To-day He rose and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell; Today the saints His triumph spread, And all His wonders tell. 3 Hosanna to th'anointed King, To David's holy Son; Help us, O Lord; descend and bring Salvation from Thy throne. 4 Blessed be the Lord, Who comes to men With messages of grace; Who comes in God His Father's Name To save our sinful race. 5 Hosanna in the highest strains The Church on earth can raise; The highest heavens, in which He reigns Shall give Him nobler praise. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons The Lord's Day Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

Who Dares Attempt Th'Eternal Name?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name Lyrics: 1 Who dares attempt th’Eternal Name With notes of mortal sound? Dangers and glories guard the theme, And spread despair around. 2 Destruction waits t’obey His frown, And Heav’n attends His smile; A wreath of lightning arms His crown, But love adorns it still. 3 Celestial King, our spirits lie Trembling beneath Thy feet, And wish, and cast a longing eye, To reach Thy lofty seat. 4 When shall we see the Great Unknown, And in Thy presence stand? Reveal the splendors of Thy throne, But shield us with Thy hand. 5 In Thee what endless wonders meet! What various glory shines! The crossing rays too fiercely beat Upon our fainting minds. 6 Angels are lost in sweet surprise If Thou unveil Thy grace; And humble awe runs thro’ the Skies, When wrath arrays Thy face. 7 When mercy joins with majesty To spread their beams abroad, Not all the fairest minds on high Are shadows of a God. 8 Thy works the strongest seraph sings In far too feeble strain. And labors hard on all his strings To reach Thy thoughts in vain. 9 Created powers, how weak they be! How short our praises fall! So much akin to nothing we, And Thou th’Eternal All.

A Perfect Path of Purest Grace

Author: Wylie Macleod Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. A perfect path of purest grace, Unblemished and complete, Was Thine, Thou spotless Nazarite, Pure, even to the feet. 2. Thy stainless life, Thy lovely walk, In every aspect true, From the defilement all around, No taint of evil drew. 3. No broken service, Lord was Thine, No change was in Thy way; Unsullied in Thy holiness, Thy strength knew no decay. 4. The vow was on Thee—Thou didst come, To yield Thyself to death; And consecration marked Thy path, And spoke in every breath. 5. Morning by morning Thou didst wake, Amidst this poisoned air; Yet no contagion touched Thy soul, No sin disturbed Thy prayer. 6. Thus, Lord we love to trace Thy course, To mark where Thou hast trod, And follow Thee with loving eye, Up to the throne of God. Used With Tune: ABRIDGE

Paraphrase 22, verses 3-8

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Art thou afraid his power shall fail Lyrics: 1 Art thou afraid his power shall fail when comes thy evil day? And can an all-creating arm grow weary or decay? 2 Supreme in wisdom as in power the Rock of ages stands; though him thou canst not see, nor trace the working of his hands. 3 He gives the conquest to the weak, supports the fainting heart; and courage in the evil hour his heavenly aids impart. 4 Mere human power shall fast decay, and youthful vigour cease; but they who wait upon the Lord in strength shall still increase. 5 They with unwearied feet shall tread the path of life divine; with growing ardour onward move, with growing brightness shine. 6 On eagles' wings they mount, they soar, their wings are faith and love, till, past the cloudy regions here, they rise to heaven above.
