Signs In The Pestilence

Author: Mark H. Forscutt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Signs in the pestilence, Signs in the ocean’s swell, Signs in the famine’s death-like stealth, Th’approaching end foretell. 2 Signs in the fears of men, Signs in their rage for war, Signs in their general armament, These, last-day tokens are. 3 Signs in the darkened sun, Signs in the moon of blood, Signs in the swiftly falling stars, Signs all ordained by God. 4 Signs in the weal and woe Of Israel gathering home, Signs in the truth revealed and preached, The latter days have come.

For Man the Savior Shed

Author: Jean B. de Santeuil; Isaac Williams Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. For man the Savior shed His all atoning blood, And, oh, shall ransomed man refuse To suffer for his God? 2. Ashamed who now can be To own the Crucified? Nay, rather be our glory this, To die for Him who died? 3. So felt Thy martyr, Lord; By Thy right hand sustained, He waged for Thee the battle’s strife, And threatened death disdained. 4. Upon the golden crown Gazing with eager breath, He fought as one who fain would die, And, dying, conquer death. 5. Alone he stood unmoved Amid his cruel foes; Oh, wondrous was the might that then Above his torturers rose! 6. Lord, give us grace to bear Like him our cross of shame, To do and suffer what Thou wilt, For love of Thy dear name. 7. Jesu, the king of saints, We praise Thee and adore, Who art, with God the Father One And Spirit evermore.

And Am I Born To Die?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? 2 A land of deepest shade, Unpierced by human thought, The dreary regions of the dead, Where all things are forgot? 3 Soon as from earth I go, What will become of me? Eternal happiness or woe Must then my portion be: 4 Waked by the trumpet’s sound, I from my grave shall rise, And see the Judge, with glory crowned, And see the flaming skies! 5 How shall I leave my tomb? With triumph or regret? A fearful or a joyful doom, A curse or blessing meet? 6 Will angel bands convey Their brother to the bar? Or devils drag my soul away, To meet its sentence there? 7 Who can resolve the doubt That tears my anxious breast? Shall I be with the damned cast out, Or numbered with the blest? 8 I must from God be driven, Or with my Savior dwell; Must come at His command to Heaven, Or else—depart to hell!

O Lord, to Thee I Cry

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, to Thee I cry; Thou art my rock and trust; O be not silent, lest I die And slumber in the dust. 2. O hear me when in prayer Thy favor I entreat; Hear, while I lift imploring hands Before Thy mercy seat. 3. O draw me not away With those of evil will; With them who speak of peace indeed, But still are plotting ill. 4. Requite them for their wrong, Their evil deeds, O Lord; O give them then their just desert, And to their deeds reward. 5. Thy deeds they disregard, Thy handiwork despise; And therefore Thou wilt cast them down And never let them rise. 6. But blessèd be the Lord Who hearkens when I cry; The Lord, my strength, my help, my shield, On Him will I rely. 7. His help makes glad my heart, And songs of praise I sing; Jehovah is His people’s strength, The Stronghold of their king. 8. Bless Thine inheritance, Our Savior be, I pray; Supply Thou all Thy people’s need, And be their constant stay.

Let Sinners Take Their Course

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 163 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Let sinners take their course, And choose the road to death; But in the worship of my God I’ll spend my daily breath. 2. My thoughts address His throne When morning brings the light; I’ll seek His blessing every noon, And pay my vows at night. 3. Thou wilt regard my cries, O my eternal God, While sinners perish in surprise Beneath Thine angry rod. 4. Because they dwell at ease, And no sad changes feel, They neither fear nor trust Thy name, Nor learn to do Thy will. 5. But I with all my cares Will lean upon the Lord: I’ll cast my burdens on His arm, And rest upon His Word. 6. His arm shall well sustain The children of His love; The ground on which their safety stands, No earthly power can move. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
