Who Is This Fair One in Distress?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 First Line: Who is this fair one in distress Lyrics: 1. Who is this fair one in distress, That travels from the wilderness? And pressed with sorrows and with sins, On her belovèd Lord she leans. 2. This is the spouse of Christ our God, Bought with the treasure of His blood; And her request and her complaint Is but the voice of every saint. 3. “O let my name engraven stand Both on Thy heart and on Thy hand; Seal me upon Thine arm, and wear That pledge of love for ever there. 4. “Stronger than death Thy love is known, Which floods of wrath could never drown; And hell and earth in vain combine To quench a fire so much divine. 5. “But I am jealous of my heart, Lest it should once from Thee depart; Then let Thy name be well impressed, As a fair signet on my breast. 6. “Till Thou hast brought me to Thy home, Where fears and doubts can never come, Thy countenance let me often see, And often Thou shalt hear from me. 7. Come, my belovèd, haste away, Cut short the hours of Thy delay; Fly like a youthful hart or roe Over the hills where spices grow.

Worthy The Lamb Of Boundless Sway

Author: William W. Shirley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 68 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Worthy the Lamb of boundless sway, In earth or Heav’n the Lord of all; Ye princes, rulers, powers, obey, And low before His footstool fall. 2 The deed was done; the Lamb was slain; The groaning earth the burden bore: He rose, He lives; He lives to reign, Nor time shall shake His endless power. 3 Riches and all that deck the great, From worlds unnumbered hither bring; The tribute pour before His seat, And hail the triumphs of our king. 4 Wisdom and strength are His alone, He raised the top-stone, shouting "Grace;" Honor has built His lofty throne, And glory shines upon His face. 5 From Heav’n, from earth, loud bursts of praise The mighty blessings shall proclaim; Blessings that earth to glory raise; The purchase of the wounded Lamb. 6 Higher, still higher, swell the strain; Creation’s voice the note prolong; The Lamb shall ever, ever reign: Let hallelujahs crown the song.
