We Are Living, We Are Dwelling

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 203 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We are living, we are dwelling In a grand and awful time. In an age on ages telling; To be living is sublime. Hark! the waking up of nations, Hosts advancing to the fray; Hark! what sounds is all creation's Groaning for the latter day. 2 Will you play, then? will you dally Far behind the battle line? Up! it is Jehovah's rally; Your full strength with God's combine. Worlds are charging, heaven beholding; You have but an hour to fight; Now, the blazoned cross unfolding, On, right onward for the right! 3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never; Consecrated, born again; Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever, O for Christ at least be men! O let all the soul within you For the truth's sake go abroad! Strike! let every nerve and sinew Tell on ages, tell for God. Amen.

Humbly Now, With Deep Contricion

Author: Ada C. Cross Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Humbly now, with deep contrition Lyrics: 1 Humbly now, with deep contrition, We Thy mercy, Lord, entreat! Now, as mourning, weeping, kneeling, We bow down before Thy feet. Father, in the day of anguish, And of darkness, and of shame, Cling we to that precious promise Made to us in Jesus’ name. 2 For His sake—our great Redeemer— Through His death of wondrous love, Dare we to approach the footstool Of Thy mighty throne above: Dare we, stained with such dishonor, Stained with sin, look up to Thee: Dare we, with our loathsome garments, To the source of glory flee. 3 Dare we pray, with eager voices, For Thy blessing and Thy grace; For one accent of forgiveness, For one glimmer of Thy face. Aye, through Him who bore in sorrow— Bore in want, and woe, and strife— This same weight of human weakness, This same weary human life. 4 Thro’ His name, and by His merits, Whom we worship and adore, For His blessèd sake, we pray Thee, Hear us—spare us evermore. By His hour of mortal weakness, Give Thine erring children strength, That they bear the burden bravely, That they win the crown at length.

We Were Crowded In The Cabin

Author: James T. Fields, 1817-1881 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We were crowded in the cabin, Not a soul would dare to sleep, It was midnight on the waters, And storm was on the deep. 2 ’Tis a fearful thing in winter, To be shattered in the blast, And to hear the rattling trumpet, Thunder, "Cut away the mast." 3 So we shuddered there in silence, For the stoutest held his breath, While the hungry sea was roaring, And the breakers talked with death. 4 As thus we sat in darkness, Each one busy in his prayers, "We are lost!" the captain shouted, As he staggered down the stairs. 5 But his little daughter whispered, As she took his icy hand, "Isn’t God upon the ocean, Just the same as on the land?" 6 Then we kissed the little maiden, And we spoke in better cheer, And we anchored safe in harbor, Where the morn was shining clear.

So in Scripture, song, and story, Savior, may your voice be heard. Till our eyes behold your glory give us ears to hear your Word.

The Battle of Calvary

Author: Neil Barham Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Great Apollyon, grim and awful Lyrics: 1. Great Apollyon, grim and awful, steeped in gore and stained in blood— Death, with all his fearsome forces, has besieged the Son of God. Satan, clothed with evil armor, darkly gleaming, proud and cold— Merciless, he joins the battle, armed and clad with pow’r untold. 2. Bowed beneath demonic onslaughts, Jesus fights His awesome duel! Pain devours its Holy Victim, searing, savage, raging, cruel! Eager waits the Mouth of Sheol, huge, insatiable, and strong! Maw agape, the Grave yearns after Holy Flesh—but not for long. 3. Writhing under Law’s most fearsome curse, ruined, lost, polluted, wrecked; Languishing in Satan’s prison lie the souls of God’s elect. At the Cross—desire of Hell! —Christ gives up that final Breath: Now, at last, the choicest Captive tastes the mortal sting of Death! 4. Darkness falls; the seething smoke of Hell cloaks the battlefield from view. Down the head of God has fallen: Law and Wrath receive their due! Satan smiles in seeming triumph, reaching out, his Prize to take. Three brief days all Hell rejoices— then the stone begins to shake! 5. Now the night of wrong is ended; now the Grave has lost its Prize! Now the Ris’n One breaks the back of Sin: There! Behold! See how Death dies! Resurrection Light now scatters Satan’s armies from the field. Christ has drawn the fearful sting of Death: Sheol and Abaddon yield! 6. At His Glance the mighty prison built by Law and Sin falls down! Countless in their thousand thousands, all His Ransomed praise His Crown! Heav’n and Hell’s astonished spirits in their joy and rage all stare At the Victor of the Cross who won His greatest Battle there. Used With Tune: BLAENHAFREN
