Let Earth And Heav'n Agree

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 184 hymnals First Line: Let earth and Heav’n agree Lyrics: 1 Let earth and Heav’n agree, Angels and men be joined, To celebrate with me The Savior of mankind, T’adore the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesu’s name. 2 Jesus! transporting sound! The joy of earth and Heav’n; No other help is found, No other name is giv’n, By which we can salvation have, But Jesus came to world to save. 3 Jesus! harmonious name! It charms the host above; They evermore proclaim, And wonder at His love; ’Tis all their happiness to gaze, ’Tis heav’n to see our Jesu’s face. 4 His name the sinner hears, And is from sin set free; ’Tis music in his ears, ’Tis life and victory; New songs do now his lips employ, And dances his glad heart for joy. 5 Stung by the scorpion sin, My poor expiring soul The balmy sound drinks in, And is at once made whole; See there my Lord upon the tree! I hear, I feel He died for me. 6 For me and all mankind, The Lamb of God was slain, My lamb His life resigned For every soul of man: Loving to all, He none passed by, He would not have one sinner die. 7 O unexampled love, O all-redeeming grace! How swiftly didst Thou move To save a fallen race! What shall I do to make it known, What Thou for all mankind hast done! 8 For this alone I breathe To spread the Gospel sound, Glad tidings of Thy death To all the nations round; Who all may feel Thy blood applied, Since all are freely justified. 9 O for a trumpet-voice, On all the world to call, To bid their hearts rejoice In Him, who died for all! For all my Lord was crucified, For all, for all my Savior died. 10 To serve Thy blessèd will, Thy dying love to praise, Thy counsel to fulfill, And minister Thy grace, Freely what I receive to give, The life of Heav’n on earth I live.

What Contradictions Meet

Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What contradictions meet In ministers’ employ! It is a bitter sweet, A sorrow full of joy: No other post affords a place For equal honor, or disgrace! 2 Who can describe the pain Which faithful preachers feel; Constrained to speak, in vain, To hearts as hard as steel? Or who can tell the pleasures felt, When stubborn hearts begin to melt? 3 The Savior’s dying love, The soul’s amazing worth; Their utmost efforts move, And draw their bowels forth: They pray and strive, their rest departs, Till Christ be formed in sinners’ hearts. 4 If some small hope appear, They still are not content; But, with a jealous fear, They watch for the event: Too oft they find their hopes deceived, Then, how their inmost souls are grieved! 5 But when their pains succeed, And from the tender blade The ripening ears proceed, Their toils are overpaid: No harvest joy can equal theirs, To find the fruit of all their cares. 6 On what has now been sown Thy blessing, Lord, bestow; The power is Thine alone, To make it spring and grow: Do Thou the gracious harvest raise, And Thou, alone, shalt have the praise.

O LORD, You Are My Light

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O LORD, you are my light and my salvation near; then who will cause me fright or fill my heart with fear? While God my strength, my life sustains, secure from fear my soul remains. 2 My one request has been and still this prayer I raise: that I may live within God's house for all my days, God's glorious beauty to admire, and in his temple to inquire. 3 When troubles round me swell, when fears and dangers throng, securely I will dwell in his pavilion strong. Within the shelter of his tent he hides me till the storm is spent. 4 Uplifted on a rock above my foes around, amid the battle shock my song shall still resound. Then joyful offerings I will bring; the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing.

We'll Sing, In Spite Of Scorn

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: We’ll sing, in spite of scorn Lyrics: 1 We’ll sing, in spite of scorn: Our theme is come from Heav’n: To us a Child is born, To us a Son is giv’n; The sweetest news that ever came We’ll sing, though all the world should blame. 2 The long expected morn Has dawned upon the earth; The Savior Christ is born, And angels sing His birth: We’ll join the bright seraphic throng, We’ll share their joys, and swell their song. 3 O! ’tis a lofty theme, Supplied by angels’ tongues! All other objects seem Unworthy of our songs. This sacred theme has boundless charms, It fills, it captivates, it warms. 4 Now sing of peace divine, Of grace to guilty man; No wisdom, Lord, but Thine Could form the wondrous plan; Where peace and righteousness embrace, And justice goes along with grace. 5 Give praise to God on high, With angels round His throne; Give praise to God with joy, Give praise to God alone! ’Tis meet His saints their songs should raise, And give the Savior endless praise.

Behold a Little Child

Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Behold a little child, laid in a manger bed; The wintry blasts blow wild around His infant head; But who is this so lowly laid? ’Tis He by whom the worlds were made. 2. Alas! in what poor state the Son of God is seen; Why did the Lord so great choose out a home so mean? That we may learn from pride to flee, And to follow His humility. 3. Where Joseph plies his trade, lo, Jesus labors, too; The hands that all things made an earthly craft pursue, That weary men in Him may rest, And faithful toil through Him be blessed. 4. Among the doctors see the Boy so full of grace; Say, wherefore taketh He the scholar’s lowly place? That children all, with reverence meet, May sit and learn at Jesus’ feet. 5. Christ, once Thyself a boy, our childhood guard and guide; Be Thou its light and joy, and still with us abide, That Thy dear love, so great and free, May draw us evermore to Thee.
