In lowly pomp ride on to die; O Christ, Thy triumphs now begin O'er captive death and conquered sin. 3 Ride on! ride on in majesty! The winged squadrons of the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see the approaching sacrifice. 4 Ride on! ride on in majesty!

God is the refuge of his saints

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 467 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is the refuge of his saints, when storms of sharp distress invade; ere we can offer our complaints, behold him present with his aid! 2 Let mountains from their seats be hurled down to the deep, and buried there, convulsions shake the solid world, our faith shall never yield to fear. 3 Loud may the troubled ocean roar; in sacred peace our souls abide; while every nation, every shore, trembles, and dreads the swelling tide. 4 There is a stream, whose gentle flow supplies the city of our God, life, love, and joy still gliding through, and watering our divine abode: 5 That sacred stream, thine holy word, that all our raging fear controls; sweet peace thy promises afford, and give new strength to fainting souls. 6 Sion enjoys her Monarch's love, secure against a threatening hour; nor can her firm foundation move, built on his truth, and armed with power.

Nature with open volume stands

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Nature with open volume stands to spread her maker's praise abroad; and every labour of his hands shows something worthy of a God. 2 But in the grace that rescued us, his brightest form of glory shines; here, on the cross, 'tis fairest drawn in precious blood, and crimson lines. 3 Here his whole name appears complete: nor wit can guess, nor reason prove, which of the letters best is writ, the power, the wisdom, or the love. 4 O the sweet wonders of that cross where God the Saviour loved, and died! Her noblest life my spirit draws from his dear wounds, and bleeding side. 5 I would for ever speak his name in sounds to mortal ears unknown, with angels join to praise the Lamb, and worship at his Father's throne.
