Ancient Of Days! The Years Roll On

Author: Thomas Holme Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8037 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ancient of Days! The years roll on Obedient to Thy sole decree; And when their destined work is done, Merge in the past eternity. Thousand of years have sped their way, Since poised by Thine almighty hand; Sun, moon, and stars, in bright array, Have wheeled in spheres at Thy command. 2 Firm as the heavenly hosts appear, The lines which future things portray, Converge in one predestined year, When Heaven and earth shall pass away. Whate’er that consummation be, Oh, let me, Lord, Thy mercy prove In worlds upheaved, from danger free, Within the covert of Thy love! 3 Ancient of Days! ’Tis Thine to say— Man vainly tries to scan th’unknown— How distant or how near the day, When we must stand before Thy throne. Through each new year vouchsafed to me, Be this my being’s aim and end, Thine here to live, in Heaven with Thee A blessed eternity to spend. Languages: English Tune Title: SAGINA

My Reins, My Fabric's Every Part

Author: James Merrick, 1720-1769 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8188 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: My reigns, my fabric’s every part Lyrics: 1 My reigns, my fabric’s every part, O Lord, the wonders of Thy art Proclaim, and prompt my willing tongue To meditate the grateful song: With deepest awe my thought this frame Surveys—I tremble that I am. 2 While yet a stranger to the day Within the burthened womb I lay, My bones, familiar to Thy view, By just degrees to firmness grew: Thy power my lineaments began, To shapes prescribed the texture ran. 3 Day to succeeding day consigned Th’unfinished birth; Thy mighty mind Each limb, each nerve, ere yet they were, Contemplated distinct and clear; Those nerves Thy curious finger spun, Those limbs it fashioned one by one. 4 And, as Thy pen in fair design Traced on Thy book each shadowy line, Thy handmaid Nature read them there, And made the growing work her care, Conformed it to th’unerring plan, And gradual wrought me into man.

That Man Whose Impious Tongue Denies

Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9164 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 That man whose impious tongue denies The God who every want supplies, Or whose unhallowed actions prove He feels nor gratitude nor love, Ranks far beneath the brute, who knows What hand his humble meal bestows. 2 Yet, did not such heavenly grace abound, Such would each son of man be found; For when the Almighty from His throne Looked on the earth, behold not one The narrow path of virtue trod, Or kept the precepts of his God. 3 But He, who with a single breath Could doom a guilty world to death, With mercy’s gently pleading voice, Offers salvation to our choice; Freedom from sin’s debasing chain, And strength fresh conflicts to sustain. 4 O haste we then—with joy embrace This rich, this freely offered grace; Gladly our hearts and voices raise, In loud and grateful songs of praise, And to the listening world proclaim Our great Redeemer’s glorious name.

Before The Great Jehovah's Bar

Author: Rowland Hill, 1744-1833 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9594 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Before the great Jehovah’s bar Lyrics: 1 Before the great Jehovah’s bar Soon must assembled worlds appear, And every word, and deed, and thought Shall into judgment then be brought. Then all shall hear their righteous doom Of wrath, or endless joys to come; And each receive his just reward Of bliss or vengeance from the Lord. 2 Dear Lord, it was Thine highest joy, To save where sin did once destroy; While thundering vengeance rolls above, We trust in Thy redeeming love. Hail! God of unexampled grace, All Heav’n shall sound Thine endless praise; High glories to the dying Lamb, Who death, by His own death, o’ercame. Languages: English Tune Title: SAGINA

Star Of The East, How Sweet Art Thou

Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11648 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Star of the east, how sweet art Thou, Seen in life’s early morning sky, Ere yet a cloud has dimmed the brow, While yet we gaze with childish eye; When father, mother, nursing friend, Most dearly loved, and loving best, First bid us from their arms ascend, Pointing to Thee, in Thy sure rest. 2 Too soon the glare of earthly day Buries, to us, Thy brightness keen, And we are left to find our way By faith and hope in Thee unseen. What matter? if the waymarks sure On every side are round us set, Soon overleaped, but not obscure? ’Tis ours to mark them or forget. 3 What matter? if in calm old age Our childhood’s star again arise, Crowning our lonely pilgrimage With all that cheers a wanderer’s eyes? Ne’er may we lose it from our sight, Till all our hopes and thoughts are led To where it stays its lucid flight Over our Savior’s lowly bed. 4 There, swathed in humblest poverty, On chastity’s meek lap enshrined, With breathless reverence waiting by, When we our sovereign master find, Will not the long-forgotten glow Of mingled joy and awe return, When stars above or flowers below First made our infant spirits burn? 5 Look on us, Lord, and take our parts E’en on Thy throne of purity! From these our proud yet groveling hearts Hide not Thy mild forgiving eye. Did not the Gentile Church find grace, Our mother dear, this favored day? With gold and myrrh she sought Thy face; Nor didst Thou turn Thy face away. 6 She too, in earlier, purer days, Had watched Thee gleaming faint and far But wandering in self chosen ways She lost Thee quite, Thou lovely star. Yet had her Father’s finger turned To Thee her first inquiring glance: The deeper shame within her burned, When wakened from her willful trance. 7 Behold, her wisest throng Thy gate, Their richest, sweetest, purest store, (Yet owned too worthless and too late) They lavish on Thy cottage floor. They give their best—O tenfold shame On us their fallen progeny, Who sacrifice the blind and lame— Who will not wake or fast with Thee! Languages: English Tune Title: SAGINA

Thus The Great Lord Of Earth And Sea

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12814 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Thus the great Lord of earth and sea Spake to His Son, and thus He swore: "Eternal shall Thy priesthood be, And change from hand to hand no more. 2 "Aaron and all his sons must die, But everlasting life is Thine, To save forever those that fly For refuge from the wrath divine. 3 "By Me Melchizedek was made On earth a king and priest at once; And Thou, My heav’nly priest, shall plead, And Thou, My king, shall rule My sons." 4 Jesus the Priest ascends His throne, While counsels of eternal peace, Between the Father and the Son, Proceed with honor and success. 5 Thro’ the whole earth His reign shall spread, And crush the powers that dare rebel; Then shall He judge the rising dead, And send the guilty world to hell. 6 Though while He treads His glorious way, He drinks the cup of tears and blood, The sufferings of that dreadful day Shall but advance Him near to God.

Not Till The Freezing Blast Is Still

Author: John Keble Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13136 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Not till the freezing blast is still, Till freely leaps the sparkling rill, And gales sweep soft from summer skies, As o’er a sleeping infant’s eyes A mother’s kiss; ere calls like these, No sunny gleam awakes the trees, Nor dare the tender flowerets show Their bosoms to th’ uncertain glow. 2 Why then, in sad and wintry time, Her heav’ns all dark with doubt and crime, Why lifts the Church her drooping head, As though her evil hour were fled? Is she less wise than leaves of spring, Or birds that cower with folded wing? What sees she in this lowering sky To tempt her meditative eye? 3 She has a charm, a word of fire, A pledge of love that cannot tire; By tempests, earthquakes, and by wars, By rushing waves and falling stars, By every sign her Lord foretold, She sees the world is waxing old, And through that last and direst storm Descries by faith her Savior’s form. 4 Not surer does each tender gem, Set in the fig tree’s polished stem, Foreshow the summer season bland, Than these dread signs Thy mighty hand: But, oh! frail hearts, and spirits dark! The season’s flight unwarned we mark, But miss the Judge behind the door, For all the light of sacred lore: 5 Yet is He there; beneath our eaves Each sound His wakeful ear receives: Hush, idle words, and thoughts of ill, Your Lord is listening: peace, be still. Christ watches by a Christian’s hearth, Be silent, "vain deluding mirth," Till in thine altered voice be known Somewhat of resignation’s tone. 6 But chiefly ye should lift your gaze Above the world’s uncertain haze, And look with calm unwavering eye On the bright fields beyond the sky, Ye, who your Lord’s commission bear, His way of mercy to prepare: Angels He calls ye: be your strife To lead on earth an angel’s life. 7 Think not of rest; though dreams be sweet, Start up, and ply your heav’nward feet. Is not God’s oath upon your head, Ne’er to sink back on slothful bed, Never again your loins untie, Nor let your torches waste and die, Till, when the shadows thickest fall, Ye hear your Master’s midnight call?
