O Lord of Hosts, Who Didst Upraise

Author: Arthur C. Benson Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord of hosts, who didst upraise Strong captains to defend the right, In darker years and sterner days, And armèdst Israel for the fight; Thou madest Joshua true and strong, And David framed the battle song. 2. And we must we battle yet? Must we, Who bear the tender name divine, Still barter life for victory, Still glory in the crimson sign? The Crucified between us stands, And lifts on high His wounded hands. 3. Lord, we are weak and willful yet, The fault is in our clouded eyes; But Thou, through anguish and regret, Dost make Thy faithless children wise; Through wrong, through hate, Thou dost approve The far off victories of love. 4. And so, from out the heart of strife, Diviner echoes peal and thrill, The scorned delights, the lavished life, The pain that serves a nation’s will: Thy comfort stills the mourner’s cries, And love is crowned by sacrifice. 5. As rains that weep the clouds away, As winds that leave a calm in heaven, So let the slayer cease to slay; The passion healed, the wrath forgiven, Draw nearer, bid the tumult cease, Redeemer, Savior, Prince of Peace!

The Savior In Gethsemane

Author: C. V. Pilcher; Hallgrim Petrusson, 1614-1674 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The Savior in Gethsemane Bows low in bitter agony. My conscience smites me, for I know My sin, my sin constrained Him so. Yea, all that weight of agony The Son of God endured for me. 2 Dread tho't! My sin doth heavier lie Than all this mighty earth and sky; For Jesus, in His Father's name, Bears up this universal frame; And yet the Word of God falls low, The while He bears sin's weight of woe. 3 Thus, Lord, Thou givest me Thy peace, Sure comfort that an never cease; Far greater that paid ransom's worth To God than boundless heav'n and earth: So by Thine agony I win Eternal pardon for my sin.

LORD, thou hast granted to thy Land

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 LORD, thou hast granted to thy Land, The Favours we implor'd; To Freedom Jacob's captive Race, Most graciously thou hast retor'd. Thy People's Sins thou pardon'd hast, Nor doth thine Indignation last. 2 O GOD of our Salvation turn Our Hearts to thee, to us speak Peace: Avert the Wrath our Guilt deserves, And let thy righteous Anger cease. LORD! shall thine Anger never end; But to all future Times extend? 3 Wilt thou not us revive again, And make thy People glad in thee? Shew us thy tender Mercies, LORD; Let us thy great Salvation see. In thee, our Saviour, we'll rejoice, And sing thy Praise with Heart and Voice. 4 On GOD, with Patience, I will wait; His Answer to our Pray'rs I'll hear: He, to his People, will speak Peace; I know it, therefore shall not fear. He'll comfort all his Saints who mourn, But let them not to Folly turn. 5 To all that fear his holy Name His sure Salvation's ever near; And in its former glorious State Our happy Nation shall appear: For Mercy now with Truth is join'd, And Righteousness with Peace combin'd. 6 Truth from the Earth shall spring, whilst Heav'n Shall constant Streams of Justice pour, And GOD, from whom all Goodness flows, O'er all the Land shall Plenty show'r: Before him Righteousness shall go, And we his holy Ways shall know.
