Fountain of Grace, Rich, Full and Free
Author: James Edmeston Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 76 hymnals First Line: Fountain of grace, rich, full, and free Lyrics: 1. Fountain of grace, rich, full and free,
What need I, that is not in Thee?
Full pardon, strength to meet the day,
And peace which none can take away.
2. Doth sickness fill my heart with fear,
'Tis sweet to know that Thou art near;
Am I with dread of justice tried,
'Tis sweet to know that Christ hath died.
3. In life, Thy promises of aid
Forbid my heart to be afraid;
In death, peace gently veils the eyes,--
Christ rose, and I shall surely rise. Topics: The Christian Life Peace Used With Tune: [Fountain of grace, rich, full and free]

Chime, Happy Christmas Bells, Once More
Author: Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig, (1783-1872); Dr. Charles Porterfield Krauth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Chime, happy Christmas bells, once more,
The heav'nly Guest is at the door,
The blessed words the shepherds thrill,
The joyous tidings, "Peace, good will."
2 O let us go with quiet mind,
The gentle Babe with shepherds find,
To gaze on Him who gladdens them,
The loveliest flower of Jesse's stem.
3 The lowly Saviour meekly lies,
Laid off the splendor of the skies;
No crown bedecks His forehead fair,
No pearl, nor gem, nor silk is there.
4 O holy Child, Thy manger gleams
Till earth and heaven glow with it beams,
Till midnight turns to brightest noon,
And Jacob's Star outshines the sun.
5 Come, Jesus, glorious heavenly Guest,
Keep Thine own Christmas in our breast,
Then David's harp-strings, hushed so long,
Shall swell our jubilee of song.
Amen. Topics: Church Year Christmas; Christmas Day Used With Tune: DET KIMER NU TIL JULEFEST. (EMMANUEL)

Awake, Jerusalem, Awake
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Awake, Jerusalem, awake,
Thou that hast drunk the trembling cup,
The slumber from thy spirit shake,
Beneath thy mighty woes stand up.
2 Thou that hast drunk the deadly wine
Of pain, astonishment, and fear,
The last sad dregs of wrath divine;
Awake, and see thy Savior near.
3 Of all her sons whom she brought forth,
Of all her sons whom Sion bred,
Not one can help her by his worth,
Not one can his weak mother lead.
4 Not one attempts with pious care
To guide her in the paths of peace:
Ah! who shall Sion’s burdens bear?
Ah! who shall bid thy sufferings cease?
5 Famine and sword have laid thee waste;
Sin, the destroying angel’s sword
Throughout thy desolate land has passed,
Joined with a famine of the word.
6 By whom shall I thy sorrows cheer?
As a wild bull thy sons lie bound,
And struggling in the hunter’s snare,
Are bellowing thro’ their spirit’s wound.
7 Fainting in all the streets they lie,
O’erwhelmed beneath their guilty load,
Rebuked by Him they dared defy,
Full of the fury of thy God.
8 Wherefore to thee the Lord hath said,
(Oppressed and drunk with wrath divine)
The Lord thy God, who deigns to plead
His people’s desperate cause, and thine;
9 “Lo! I thy soul have freely loved,
I have displayed My mercy’s power,
The cup out of thy hands removed,
And thou shalt never taste it more.
10 “Mine indignation’s dreadful cup
The portion of thy foes shall be,
Thy, they shall all the dregs drink up:
The cup of blessing is for thee.
11 “Thee, Sion, thee: so long compelled
To stoop at the oppressor’s frown,
Enslaved by man, and forced to yield,
When sin, or Satan, cried ‘Bow down.’
12 “Poor vassal! to rebel afraid,
Thy baseness bowed to every lust,
As clay thou hast thy body laid,
And mixed thy spirit with the dust.
13 “But I, the righteous Lord, on all
That tread thee down will vengeance take,
My fury on thy sin shall fall,
Mine arm an end of sin shall make.
14 Its being with its power destroy,
The inward stumbling block remove,
And fill thee with unfading joy,
And crown thee with eternal love. Used With Tune: EMMANUEL Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems (Bristol, England, Felix Farley, 1749)

Thy blessed body and Thy blood.
Enrich me thro' this means of grace
And make my heart Thy dwelling place.

Forget, forget each wrongful deed.

And let Thy Spirit be my Guide. Topics: Holy Communion Used With Tune: [I come invited by Thy word]
I Come Invited By Thy Word
Blush, Atheists, Blush
Author: John Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Blush, atheists, blush, your airy schemes Lyrics: 1 Blush, atheists, blush, your airy schemes,
Your chance, and atoms, are but dreams:
Science in vain you proudly boast,
In error’s endless mazes lost.
2 Nature survey, the mighty whole
From north to southern distant pole:
Heav’n, earth and seas, and worlds of light
For ages hid from human sight.
3 Say then, could chance this fabric rear
So great, so good, so wondrous fair?
Could chance the heav’nly bodies move,
And in strict order bid them rove?
4 Does chance the various seasons rule,
The blooming spring, the autumn cool?
Bid summer’s heat enrich the year
And winter pinch with frosts severe?
5 Sways chance the empire of the main?
Can chance its proudest waves restrain?
Command the senseless tides to flow?
Of teach the ebb its hour to know?
6 What is all nature but design?
Her works, but skill and power divine?
The God we see in every form,
From the archangel to the worm.
7 The wondrous scale of beings view,
Their nice gradations close pursue;
Deny then, skeptic, if you can
A proper place assigned for man.
8 Man, know thyself, thy rank well know,
And pay the mighty debt you owe;
The God adore, who did inspire
Your frame with an immortal fire.
9 Man, view thy soul, nor let it be
A slave when God would have it free;
Nor be it said that brutes obey,
Whilst man rejects his maker’s sway. Used With Tune: EMMANUEL Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)

Author: Simon Browne Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 602 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With light and comfort from above.
Be Thou Guardian, Thou my Guide;
O'er every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to me display,
That I may know and choose Thy way;
Plant holy fear within my heart,
That I from Thee may ne'er depart.
3 Conduct me safe, conduct me far
From every sin and hurtful snare;
Lead me to God, my final Rest,
In His enjoyment to be blest.
4 Lead me to holiness, the road
That I must take, to dwell with God;
Lead to Thy Word, that rules must give,
And sure directions how to live.
5 Lead me to Christ, the living Way,
Nor let me from His pastures stray.
Lead me to heaven, the seat of bliss,
Where pleasure in perfection is. Topics: The Holy Spirit; Sexagesima Sunday; Easter Season, Fifth Sunday; Whit-Sunday; Eighth Sunday after Trinity Used With Tune: EMMANEUL
