Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye trembling souls! dismiss your fears; Be mercy all your theme; Mercy, which like a river flows In one continued stream. 2 Fear not the pow'rs of earth and hell: God will these pow'rs restrain; His mighty arm their rage repel, And make their efforts vain. 3 Fear not the want of outward good: He will for his provides, Grants them supplies of daily food, And gives them heav'n beside. 4 Fear not, that he will e'er forsake, Or leave His work undone: He's faithful to his promises, And faithful to his Son. 5 Fear not the terrors of the grave, Nor death's tremendous sting: He will from endless wrath preserve, To endless glory bring. 6 You in his wisdom, pow'r, and grace, May confidently trust: His wisdom guides, his pow'r protects, His grace rewards the just.

As various as the moon

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As various as the moon Is man's estate below: To his bright day of gladness soon Succeeds a night go woe. 2 The night of woe resigns Its darkness and its grief; Again the morn of comfort shines, And brings our souls relief. 3 Yet not from fickle chance These varying scenes arise: Our dark and brighter hours advance, By laws supremely wise. 4 God measures out to all Their lot of good and ill; Nor this too great, nor that too small, Ordain'd by heav'n's high will. 5 Hopeful and humble bear Thy evil and thy good; Nor by presumption, nor despair, Weak mortal be subdu'd.

How swift the torrent rolls

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 135 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How swift the torrent rolls That bears to us to the sea! The tide that hurries thoughtless souls To vast eternity! 2 Our fathers, where are they, With all they call'd their own? Their joys and griefs, and hopes and cares, And wealth and honour, gone. 3 There, where the fathers lie, Must all the children dwell; Nor other heritage possess, But such a gloomy cell. 5 God of our fathers! hear, Thou everlasting friend! While we, as on life’s utmost verge, Our souls to thee commend. 6 Of all the pious dead May we the footsteps trace, Till with them, in the land of light, We dwell before thy face. Topics: Death

And must this body die

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 376 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This well-wrought frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 God, my Redeemer, lives, And ever from the skies, Looks down, and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 3 Array'd in glorious grace Shall all his servants shine; And, fashion'd like their ris'n head, Be heav'nly and divine. 4 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying Love: O may we bless his grace below, And sing his grace above!

And shall we still be slaves

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summon'd by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did the great Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on His blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because thy grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all His wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That those for whom thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. 5 The man, that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold! how terribly he dies For his presumptuous fault. 6 But sorer vengeance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist His grace.

Amidst a world of hopes and fears

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amidst a world of hopes and fears, A world of cares, and toils, and tears, Where foes alarm, and dangers threat, And pleasures kill, and glories cheat: 2 Send down, O Lord! a heav'nly ray, To guide me in the doubtful way; And o'er me hold thy shield of power, To guard me in the dang'rous hour. 3 Teach me the flatt'ring paths to shun, In which the thoughtless many run, Who for a shade the substance miss, And grasp their ruin in their bliss. 4 May never pleasure, wealth, or pride, Allure my wand'ring soul aside; But thro' this maze of mortal ill, Safe lead me to thy heav'nly hill.
