Laugh, Ye Profane

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9802 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Laugh, ye profane, and swell and burst Lyrics: 1 Laugh, ye profane, and swell and burst, With bold impiety: Yet shall ye live for ever cursed, And seek in vain to die. 2 The gasp of your expiring breath Consigns your souls to chains, By the last agonies of death Sent down to fiercer pains. 3 Ye stand upon a dreadful steep, And all beneath is hell; Your weighty guilt will sink you deep Where the old serpent fell. 4 When iron slumbers bind your flesh, With strange surprise you’ll find Immortal vigor spring afresh, And tortures wake the mind! 5 Then you’ll confess the frightful names Of plagues you scorned before, No more shall look like idle dreams, Like foolish tales no more. 6 Then shall ye curse that fatal day, With flames upon your tongue, When you exchanged your souls away For vanity and songs. 7 Behold, the saints rejoice to die, For Heav’n shines round their heads; And angel guards prepared to fly, Attend their fainting beds. 8 Their longing spirits part, and rise To their celestial seat; Above these ruinable skies They make their last retreat. 0 Hence, ye profane, I hate your ways, I walk with pious souls; There’s a wide difference in our race, And distant are our goals.

Come, Ye Redeemed of the Lord

Author: Joseph Hart Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10011 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye redeemèd of the Lord, Your grateful tribute bring; And celebrate with one accord, The birthday of our king. 2 Let us with humble hearts repair— Faith will point out the road— To little Bethlehem; and there Adore our infant God. 3 In swaddling bands the Savior view! Let none this weakness scorn; The feeblest heart shall hell subdue, Where Jesus Christ is born. 4 No pomp adorns, no sweets perfume, The place where Christ is laid; The stable serves Him for His room; A manger is His bed. 5 The crowded inn, like sinners’ hearts— O ignorance extreme! For other guests of various sorts Had room; but none for Him. 6 But see what different thoughts arise In ours and angels’ breasts: To hail His birth they left the skies; We lodged Him with the beasts. 7 Yet let believers cease their fears, Nor envy heav’nly powers; If sinless innocence be theirs, Redemption all is ours.

Children, To Your Creator God

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10162 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Children, to your creator, God Lyrics: 1 Children, to your creator, God, Your early honors pay, While vanity and youthful blood Would tempt your thoughts astray. 2 The memory of His mighty name, Demands your first regard; Nor dare indulge a meaner flame, ’Till you have loved the Lord. 3 Be wise, and make His favor sure, Before the mournful days, When youth and mirth are known no more, And life and strength decays. 4 No more the blessings of a feast Shall relish on the tongue. The heavy ear forgets the taste And pleasure of a song. 5 Old age with all her dismal train, Invades your golden years With sighs and groans, and raging pain, And death that never spares. 6 What will you do when light departs, And leaves your withering eyes, Without one beam to cheer your hearts, From the superior skies? 7 How will you meet God’s frowning brow, Or stand before His seat, While nature’s old supporters bow, Nor bear their tottering weight? 8 Can you expect your feeble arms Shall make a strong defense, When death with terrible alarms, Summons the prisoner hence? 9 The silver bands of nature burst; And let the building fall; The flesh goes down to mix with dust, Its vile original. 10 Laden with guilt, (a heavy load) Uncleansed and unforgiv’n, The soul returns t’an angry God, To be shut out from Heav’n.

But One Loaf

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11909 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When the disciples crossed the lake Lyrics: 1 When the disciples crossed the lake With but one loaf on board; How strangely did their hearts mistake The caution of their Lord. 2 "The leaven of the Pharisees Beware", the Savior said; They thought, it is because He sees We have forgotten bread. 3 It seems they have forgotten, too, What their own eyes had viewed; How with what scarce sufficed for few, He fed a multitude. 4 If five small loaves, by His command, Could many thousands serve; Might they not trust His gracious hand, That they should never starve? 5 They oft His power and love had known, And doubtless were to blame; But we have reason good to own That we are just the same. 6 How often has He brought relief, And every want supplied! Yet soon, again, our unbelief, Says, "Can the Lord provide?" 7 Be thankful for one loaf today, Though that be all your store; Tomorrow, if you trust and pray, Shall timely bring you more.

Remember

Author: Emma Lazarus, 1849-1887 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13826 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Remember Him, the only One Lyrics: 1 Remember Him, the only One, Now, ere the years flow by— Now, while the smile is on thy lip, The light within thine eye. 2 Now, ere for thee the sun has lost Its glory and its light, And earth rejoice thee not with flowers, Nor with its stars the night. 3 Now, while thou lovest earth, because She is so wondrous fair With daisies and with primroses, And sunlit, waving air. 4 And not because her bosom holds Thy dearest and thy best, And some day will thyself infold In calm and peaceful rest. 5 Now, while thou lovest violets, Because mid grass they wave, And not because they bloom upon Some early shapen grave. 6 Now, while thou lovest trembling stars, But just because they shine, And not because they’re nearer one Who never can be thine. 7 Now, while thou lovest music’s strains, Because they cheer thy heart, And not because from aching eyes They make the tear drops start. 8 Now, while thou lovest all on earth, And deemest all will last, Before thy hope has vanished quite And every joy has passed. 9 Remember Him, the only One, Before the days draw nigh When thou shalt have no joy in them, And praying, yearn to die.

Day After Day I Sought the Lord

Author: Julius C. Hare Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1165 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Day after day I sought the Lord, And waited patiently; Until He bent down from His throne, And hearkened to my cry. 2. He drew me from the fearful pit, And from the miry clay; He placed my feet upon a rock, And led me in His way. 3. He taught my soul a new-made song, A song of holy praise, All they who see these things, with fear Their hopes to God shall raise. 4. Most blessèd is the man whose hope Upon the Lord relies; Who follows not the proud, nor those That turn aside to lies. 5. O Lord, what wonders hast Thou wrought, All number far above! Thy thoughts to us-ward overflow With mercy, grace, and love. 6. Show forth Thy mercy, gracious Lord; O take it not away! Thy loving kindness and Thy truth, Let them be still my stay. 7. For countless sorrows hem me round; And my iniquities So hold me fast, and drag me down, I cannot raise my eyes. 8. My hairs in number they surpass; Hence is my heart dismayed; Vouchsafe, O Lord, to rescue me! O hasten to my aid. 9. Let those who seek Thee faithfully In peace and joy abide; Let those who love Thy grace still say, The Lord be magnified. 10. Poor am I, and in need; yet God Care of my soul doth take. Thou art my help; my Savior Thou; Lord, no long tarrying make. Languages: English Tune Title: ABERDEEN

Ye ransomed nations, sing The praises of your Lord and God, The triumphs of your King. 2. He comes, and at His mighty word, The clouds are fleeting past, And o’er the land of promise see, The glory breaks at last. 3. There He, upon His ancient throne, His power and grace displays, While Salem with its echoing hills, Send forth the voice of praise. 4. Oh, let His praises fill the earth While all the blest above, In strains of loftier triumph still, Speak only of His love. 5. Sing, ye redeemed! Before the throne, Ye white-robed myriads fall; Sing—for the Lord of glory reigns, The Christ—the heir of all. Languages: English Tune Title: ABERDEEN

Jesus, the Rising Lord of All

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3423 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, the rising Lord of all, His love to man commends, Poor worms He blushes not to call His brethren and His friends. 2. Who basely all forsook their Lord In His distress, and fled, To these He sends the joyful word, When risen from the dead. 3. Go tell the vile deserters!—“No: My dearest brethren tell, Their Advocate to Heav’n I go, To rescue them from hell. 4. “Lo! to My father I ascend! Your Father now is He, My God, and yours, whoe’er depend For endless life on Me. 5. “Henceforth I ever live above For you to intercede, The merit of My dying love, For all mankind to plead. 6. Sinners, I rose again to show Your sins are all forgiv’n, And mount above the skies, that you May follow Me to Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: ABERDEEN

No Strength of Nature Can Suffice

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4591 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. No strength of nature can suffice To serve the Lord aright; And what she has, she misapplies, For want of clearer light. 2. How long beneath the Law I lay In bondage and distress! I toiled the precept to obey, But toiled without success. 3. Then to abstain from outward sin Was more than I could do; Now, if I feel its power within, I feel I hate it too. 4. Then all my servile works were done A righteousness to raise; Now, freely chosen in the Son, I freely choose His ways. 5. What shall I do was then the word, That I may worthier grow? What shall I render to the Lord? Is my inquiry now. 6. To see the Law by Christ fulfilled, And hear His pardoning voice; Changes a slave into a child, And duty into choice.
