Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: LD1888 #161 (1888) Person Name: Joseph Addison First Line: When all thy mercies, O my God! Lyrics: 1 When all thy mercies, O my God! My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I'm lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts, to my soul, Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From whom those comforts flowed. 3 When, in the slippery paths of youth, With heedless steps, I ran, Thine arm, unseen, conveyed me safe, And led me up to man. 4 Ten thousand, thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 5 Through every period of my life, Thy goodness I'll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 6 Through all eternity, to thee A joyful song I'll raise: For, oh, eternity's too short To utter all thy praise!

Traveler's Hymn

Author: Joseph Addison Hymnal: LD1888 #173 (1888) Person Name: Joseph Addison First Line: How are thy servants blest, O Lord! Lyrics: 1 How are thy servants blest, O Lord! How sure is their defence! Eternal wisdom is their guide, Their help, omnipotence. 2 In foreign realms, and lands remote, Supported by thy care, Through burning climes they pass unhurt, And breathe in tainted air. 3 When by the dreadful tempest borne High on the broken wave, They know thou art not slow to hear, Nor impotent to save. 4 The storm is laid, the winds retire, Obedient to thy will; The sea, that roars at thy command, At thy command is still. 5 In midst of dangers, fears, and deaths, Thy goodness we adore; We praise thee for thy mercies past, And humbly hope for more. 6 Our life, whilst thou preservest life, A sacrifice shall be; And death, when death shall be our lot, Shall join our souls to thee.

Alexander First Line: There is a green hill far away Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. We may not know, we cannot tell What pains he had to bear; But we believe it was for us He hung and suffered there. 2 He died that we might be forgiven, He died to make us good, That we might go at last to heaven, Saved by his precious blood. There was no other good enough To pay the price of sin; He only could unlock the gate Of heaven, and let us in. 3 Oh, dearly, dearly, has he loved, And we must love him too, And trust in his redeeming blood, And try his works to do. For there's a green hill far away, Without a city wall, Where the dear Lord was crucified, Who died to save us all. Languages: English Tune Title: CONCONE

The Judgment

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: LD1888 #229 (1888) Person Name: Mrs. C. F. Alexander First Line: He is coming, he is coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he came before, Wailing infant, born in weakness On a lowly stable floor: But upon his cloud of glory, In the crimson-tinted sky, Where we see the golden sunrise In the rosy distance lie. 2 He is coming, he is coming, Not in pain, and shame, and woe, With the thorn-crown on his forehead. And the blood-drops trickling slow; But with diadem upon him, And the sceptre in his hand, And the dead all ranged before him, Raised from death, hell, sea, and land. 3 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he wandered through All the hostile land of Judah, With his followers poor and few: But with all the holy angels Waiting round his judgment-seat, And the chosen twelve apostles Sitting crowned at his feet. 4 He is coming, he is coming; Let his lowly first estate, And his tender love, so teach us That in faith and hope we wait, Till in glory eastward burning, Our redemption draweth near; And we see the sign in heaven Of our Judge and Saviour dear.

Alexander First Line: The roseate hues of early dawn Lyrics: 1 The roseate hues of early dawn, The brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, How fast they fade away! Oh, for the pearly gates of heaven! Oh, for the golden floor! Oh, for the Sun of Righteousness, That setteth nevermore! 2 The highest hopes we cherish here, How soon they tire and faint! How many a spot defiles the robe That wraps an earthly saint! Oh, for a heart that never sins! Oh, for a soul washed white! Oh, for a voice to praise our King, Nor weary day or night! 3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope, And grace to lead us higher; But there are perfectness and peace. Beyond our best desire. Oh, by thy love and anguish, Lord, And by thy life laid down, Grant that we fall not from thy grace, Nor fail to reach our crown!

Alexander First Line: O sacred Head, now wounded Lyrics: 1 O sacred Head, now wounded, With grief and shame weighed down, Now scornfully surrounded, With thorns, thine only crown; O sacred Head, what glory, What bliss, till now was thine! Yet, though despised and gory, I joy to call thee mine. 2 What thou, my Lord, hast suffered Was all for sinners' gain: Mine, mine was the transgression, But thine the deadly pain; Lo, here I fall, my Saviour! 'Tis I deserved thy place; Look on me with thy favor, Vouchsafe to me thy grace. 3 What language shall I borrow, To thank thee, dearest Friend, For this, thy dying sorrow, Thy pity without end? Lord, make me thine for ever, Nor let me faithless prove: Oh, let me never, never, Abuse such dying love. 4 Be near when I am Oh, show thy cross to me! And for my succor flying, Come, Lord, and set me free! These eyes, new faith receiving, From Jesus shall not move; For he who dies believing, Dies safely--through thy love.
