Zion Mourns in Fear and Anguish

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann Heermann Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:14-17 Lyrics: 1 Zion mourns in fear and anguish, Zion, city of our God. "Ah," she says, "how sore I languish, Bowed beneath the chast'ning rod! For my God forsook me quite And forgot my sorry plight Mid these troubles now distressing, Countless woes my soul oppressing. 2 "Once," she mourns, "He promised plainly That His help should e'er be near; Yet I now must seek Him vainly In my days of woe and fear. Will His anger never cease? Will He not renew His peace? Will He not show forth compassion And again forgive transgression?" 3 "Zion, surely I do love thee," Thus to her the Savior saith, "Tho' with many woes I prove thee And thy soul is sad to death. For My troth is pledged to thee; Zion, thou art dear to Me. Deep within My heart I've set thee, That I never can forget thee. 4 "Let not Satan make thee craven; He can threaten, but not harm. On My hands thy name is graven, And thy shield is My strong arm. How, then, could it ever be I should not remember thee, Fail to build thy wall, My city, "And look down on thee with pity? 5 "Ever shall Mine eyes behold thee; On My bosom thou art laid. Ever shall My love enfold thee; Never shalt thou lack Mine aid. Neither Satan, war, nor stress Then shall mar thy happiness: With this blessèd consolation Be thou firm in tribulation." Amen.

Let Folly Praise That Fancy Loves

Author: Robert Southwell, 1561-1595 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:1-7 Lyrics: 1 Let folly praise that fancy loves; I praise and love that child whose heart no thought, whose tongue no word, whose hand no deed defiled. I praise him most, I love him best; all praise and love are his. While him I love, in him I live, and cannot live amiss. 2 Love's sweetest mark, laud's highest theme, our most desired light. To love him life, to leave him death, to live in him delight. He mine by gift, I his by debt, thus each to other due: first friend he was, best friend he is; all times will find him true. 3 Though young, yet wise, though small, yet strong, though man, yet God he is; as wise he knows, as strong he can, as God he loves to bless. His knowledge rules, his strength defends, his love doth cherish all; his birth our joy, his life our light, his death our end of thrall. Topics: Christmas; Epiphany Used With Tune: A PURPLE ROBE

The Counsels of Redeeming Love

Meter: Irregular Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 49:8 First Line: The Eternal speaks, all heaven attends Lyrics: 1 Th' Eternal speaks: All heav'n attends: Who that unhappy race defends, While justice aims the blow? See nature tremble at their fates: Death with his iron sceptre waits: Hell opes her adamantine gates, And triumphs at their woe. 2 Which of the bright celestial throng, With Love so warm, and heart so strong, Dares languish on a cross? Who can leave liberty for chains? Abandon ecstacy, for pains? What angel fortitude sustains Th' inestimable Loss. 3 He said: And death like silence reign'd: Deep was their awe: The radiant band, The mighty task declin'd, At once, heav'n's Prince the silence broke, And ardent thus, the Sire bespoke, "None, but thy Son can ward the stroke;, Ten let the task be mine. 4 Mine, be the feeble infant state; Mine, in return for love be hate; A manger be my throne. Pain, when thy glory calls, is bliss; When man's in danger, torture's peace; Shame praise; a paradise th' abyss: Then yield thy darling Son." 5 Th' Almignty radiance smil'd assent, Loud was the shout that ether rent, All heav'n was in amaze. Be born, in anguish to expire;" Earth triumph: Angels strike the lyre, To everlasting praise. Topics: The Wonders of Redemption, celebrated in Songs of Praise Text Sources: Knapp's Psalmody
