[Refrain] 4 Now once more the night comes round, Now the hour once more draws near; When that anthem’s holy sound, Falls on fancy’s listening ear.

See the Ransomed Millions Stand

Author: Josiah Conder Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 51 hymnals Lyrics: 1. See the ransomed millions stand, Palms of conquest in their hand; This before the throne their strain, Hell is vanquished, death is slain; Blessing, honor, glory, might, Are the Conqueror’s native right; Thrones and powers before Him fall, Lamb of God and Lord of all! 2. Hasten, Lord the promised hour; Come in glory and in power; Still Thy foes are unsubdued; Nature sighs to be renewed. Time has nearly reached its sum; All things, with Thy bride, say Come; Jesus, whom all worlds adore, Come, and reign forevermore.

A Believer, Free From Care

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A believer, free from care, May in chains, or dungeons, sing, If the Lord be with him there; And be happier than a king: Paul and Silas, thus confined, Tho’ their backs were torn by whips, Yet possessing peace of mind, Sang His praise with joyful lips. 2 Suddenly the prison shook, Open flew the iron doors; And the jailer, terror struck, Now his captives’ help implores: Trembling at their feet he fell, "Tell me, sirs, what must I do To be saved from guilt and hell? None can tell me this but you." 3 "Look to Jesus," they replied. "If on Him thou canst believe, By the death which He has died, Thou salvation shalt receive." While the living word he heard, Faith sprang up within his heart; And, released from all he feared, In their joy his soul had part. 4 Sinners, Christ is still the same, O that you could likewise fear! Then the mention of His name Would be music to your ear: Jesus rescues Satan’s slaves, His dear wounds still plead, "Forgive!" Jesus to the utmost saves; Sinners, look to Him and live.

Pilgrim, Burdened with Thy Sin

Author: George Crabbe Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 122 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Pilgrim, burdened with thy sin, Come the way to Zion’s gate: There, till mercy lets thee in, Knock, and weep, and watch, and wait. Knock—He knows the sinner’s cry; Weep—He loves the mourner’s tears; Watch, for saving grace is nigh; Wait, till heavenly light appears. 2. Hark, it is the Bridegroom’s voice: Welcome, pilgrim to thy rest! Now within the gate rejoice, Safe, and sealed, and bought, and blest Safe, from all the lures of vice; Sealed, by signs the chosen know; Bought by love, and life the price; Blest, the mighty debt to owe. 3. Holy pilgrim, what for thee In a world like this remain? From thy guarded breast shall flee Fear, and shame, and doubt, and pain; Fear, the hope of Heav’n shall fly; Shame, from glory’s view retire; Doubt, in certain rapture die; Pain, in endless bliss expire.

Softly Upon Bethlehem's Plains

Author: Benjamin Gough Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Softly upon Bethlehem’s plains Lyrics: 1 Softly upon Bethlehem’s plains Falls the gentle dew of night; Sweetly solemn silence reigns— Earth how calm, and Heav’n how bright! Every star shines out alone, Looking down from Heav’n to earth; Beautiful as first they shone Radiant at Creation’s birth. 2 O’er the sloping mountain’s side, Clustering flocks of sheep repose; Watchful shepherds there abide, Feed and guard them from their foes: There they watch from evening’s ray, Sleepless until midnight’s hush; There in thoughtful musings stay, Till the tears of twilight gush. 3 Happy shepherds! lift your eyes; Eastward cast your glance afar; See! what luster gilds the skies, Lit by yonder signal star! Slow descending from above, See! an angel form appears! God’s own messenger of love Brings glad tidings to your ears. 4 See! he folds his snowy wings; Heav’n in mercy stoops to earth; Listen to the news he brings, Tidings of Messiah’s birth! Shout in triumph, earth and Heav’n, Swell the song of sweet accord; Jesus lives, "the Son is giv’n," Bow, and worship "Christ the Lord." 5 Multitudes of angels sing Strains celestial, songs divine; Glory to the newborn King! Men may now with angels join; Hallelujahs loud and long Swell upon the shepherds’ ears, Richer far than mortal song, Or the music of the spheres. 6 Happy shepherds! let us go Unto Bethlehem and see God made manifest below, Smiling on His mother’s knee. Babe almighty! earth’s desire! Heav’n’s anointed One art Thou; Men and angels, son and sire, Place the crown upon His brow.

O Jehovah, Hear My Words

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Jehovah, hear my words, to my thoughts attentive be; hear my cry, my King, my God, I will make my prayer to thee. With the morning light, O Lord, thou shalt hear my voice arise, and expectant I will bring prayer as morning sacrifice. 2 Thou, Jehovah, art a God who delightest not in sin; evil shall not dwell with thee, nor the proud thy favor win. Evil-doers thou dost hate, lying tongues thou wilt defeat; God abhors the man who loves violence and base deceit. 3 In the fulness of thy grace to thy house I will repair; bowing toward thy holy place, in thy fear to worship there. Lead me in thy righteousness, let my foes assail in vain; lest my feet be turned aside, make thy way before me plain. 4 False and faithless are my foes, in their mouth no truth is found; deadly are the words they speak, all their thoughts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to naught, hold them guilty in thy sight, for against thee and thy law they have set themselves to fight. 5 O let all that trust thy care ever glad and joyful be; let them joy who love thy name, safely guarded, Lord, by thee. For a blessing from thy store to the righteous thou wilt yield; thou wilt compass him about with thy favor as a shield.
