Awake, awake the tuneful voice!

Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Awake, awake the tuneful voice Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake the tuneful voice, And strike the joyful strings; We'll pour the mellow notes along, And raise a pealing, glad'ning song, 'Till heaven with music rings. 2 'Tis not the cold and formal strain, That wakes the inward flame, But 'tis the song that glows like fire, The songs that feeling hearts inspire, A music worth the name. 3 But hark! those sweet concordant notes That breathed a magic spell, That seem like sounds which angels sing, Like sounds which have in heaven their spring, Where holy beings dwell; 4 'Tis these that glow from friendship's soul, 'Tis these that speak the heart; 'Tis these that show the peaceful mind, The spirit meek, and pure, and kind, Unstained by vicious art. 5 O yet, 'tis here that music dwells, In friendship's sweet abode; 'Tis here that notes concordant sound, 'Tis here that harmony is found, Like that which dwells with God. Used With Tune: [Awake, awake the tuneful voice]

When Hagar found the bottle spent, And wept o’er Ishmael, A message from the Lord was sent To guide her to a well. 2. Should not Elijah’s cake and cruse Convince us at this day, A gracious God will not refuse Provisions by the way? 3. His saints and servants shall be fed, The promise is secure; Bread shall be given them, He has said, Their water shall be sure. 4. Repasts far richer they shall prove Than all earth’s dainties are; ’Tis sweet to taste a Savior’s love, Though in the meanest fare. 5. To Jesus then your trouble bring, Nor murmur at your lot; While you art poor, and He is king, You shall not be forgot. Used With Tune: FAR AND NEAR (Spazier) Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W.

Whom will the Lord admit to dwell So near His throne of grace? 2. The man that walks in pious ways, And works with righteous hands; That trusts his maker’s promises, And follows His commands. 3. He speaks the meaning of his heart, Nor slanders with his tongue; Will scarce believe an ill report, Nor do his neighbor wrong. 4. The wealthy sinner he contemns, Loves all that fear the Lord; And though to his own hurt he swears, Still he performs his word. 5. His hands disdain a golden bribe, And never gripe the poor: This man shall dwell with God on earth, And find his Heav’n secure.

'Tis Nature's Voice Which Reason Speaks

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: ’Tis nature’s voice which reason speaks Lyrics: 1 ’Tis nature’s voice which reason speaks, Know, man, there is a God; That great first cause who made the world, And rules it by His nod. 2 The mighty truth unshaken stands, And scorns the atheist’s school; His boasted sense and wit but prove He is the learnèd fool. 3 Far as with backward steps we trace Great nature’s wondrous clue, We must at length stop at some cause Which no beginning knew. 4 This cause eternal we maintain, And this the God we name; Of all perfection full possessed, Invariably the same. 5 A God, the wiser nations own, Barbarians too consent; Convinced by nature’s wondrous frame, That mighty argument. 6 The God, the present God we see, Where’er we turn our eyes; In fairest lines His name is wrote On earth, and seas, and skies. 7 Almighty God! I Thee adore, Great author of my frame; Long as I live my tongue shall sing The glories of Thy name.

Brueckner Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 All hail, thou day of wondrous grace, My confirmation day, When I the steps of God retrace, Imprinted on my way. 2 When I was but an infant small, He pledged His love to me; He called me with a holy call His child and heir to be. 3 The sacred washing I received, That cleansed me well from sin; Of ev'ry guilty stain relieved, I now have peace within. 4 From parents kind and teachers true, By Thee, my God, ordained, I learned Thy holy will to do, By faith in Christ sustained. 5 So now I come before Thy throne, Thy precious name to bless, Resolved to serve Thee as Thine own In truth and holiness. 6 I consecrate myself to Thee In body, soul and mind; Do Thou but help and strengthen me, Thou Hope of all mankind. 7 While in this world of sin and strife, Vouchsafe to me Thy grace Till I have reached the end of life And see Thee face to face.
