Author: Susanna Harrison Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Triune God above, And Lord of all below, To sinners shows His love, Displays His justice, too— "Awake, awake, vindictive sword, Against My Fellow!" saith the Lord. 2 "Awake against the Man Omnipotent in power, To execute My plan Lost mortals to restore; Man has a load of guilt so great None but My Son can bear the weight. 3 "Him vengeance shall pursue, For man He must atone; To justice what is due His blood can pay alone. He shall My righteous law fulfill; He shall accomplish all My will. 4 The Lord of Hosts commands, Th’eternal Father spoke: All Heav’n in silence stands While Jesus bears the stroke. See, guilty mortals! See, His side For you was pierced! For you He died. 5 Draw near th’accursèd tree, In wonder lost, that love Could rise to that degree— Your sentence to remove! With weeping eyes His sorrows view, He groaned, He bled, He died for you. 6 O let Him have your hearts, Your blessings shall increase: To His He still imparts Both righteousness and peace. His grace shall all your sins subdue, He groaned, He bled, He died for you. 7 Bought by His precious blood, You are no more your own; Give up yourselves to God, And live to Him alone: Jesus will bear you conquerors through, He groaned, He bled, He died for you.

John Darwall

1732 - 1789 Composer of "DARWALL'S 148TH" in The Cyber Hymnal John Darwall (b. Haughton, Staffordshire, England, 1731; d. Walsall, Staffordshire, England, 1789) The son of a pastor, he attended Manchester Grammar School and Brasenose College, Oxford, England (1752-1756). He became the curate and later the vicar of St. Matthew's Parish Church in Walsall, where he remained until his death. Darwall was a poet and amateur musician. He composed a soprano tune and bass line for each of the 150 psalm versifications in the Tate and Brady New Version of the Psalms of David (l696). In an organ dedication speech in 1773 Darwall advocated singing the "Psalm tunes in quicker time than common [in order that] six verses might be sung in the same space of time that four generally are."

Susannah Harrison

1752 - 1784 Person Name: Susanna Harrison Author of "The Triune God Above" in The Cyber Hymnal Harrison, Susanna, invalided from her work as a domestic servant at the age of 20, published Songs in the Night, 1780. This included 133 hymns, and passed through ten editions. She is known by "Begone, my worldly cares, away," and "O happy souls that love the Lord." Born in 1752 and died Aug. 3, 1784. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907) ================================ Harrison, Susanna. (1752--August 3, 1784, Ipswich, England). The preface to the first edition of her collected hymns, Songs in the night, 1780, states that she was "a very obscure young woman, and quite destitute of the advantages of education, as well as under great bodily affliction. Her father dying when she was young, and leaving a large family unprovided for, she went out to service at sixteen years of age." In August 1722, she became ill, probably with tuberculosis, and returned to her mother's home. She taught herself to write and in her remaining years she wrote 142 hymns which, with a few meditations, were published as Songs in the night by an anonymous editor, perhaps her rector. So sincere yet vivid is the expression of her faith as she faced certain death that by 1847 there had been eleven editions printed in England and seven additional ones in America. Individual hymns remained popular in America during much of the nineteenth century due to the constant preoccupation with death in both urban and frontier life, reflected in the large sections of funeral hymns in most hymnals. --Leonard Ellinwood, DNAH Archives
