To Thee convoke Thy waiting flock, All saints who wake or sleep Swift summon forth to keep Love’s glorious tryst beyond the tomb! 3 Death and the grave with Thee we’ll tread, In immortality! Caught up in air, in cloud ranks fair, Transfigured quick and dead Shall rise to Thee, their Head; Death swallowed up in victory! 4 Wake, bride of Christ, in ecstasy, Love’s glad triumphant chord!

Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! [Refrain] 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker died For man the creature's sin.

Thou Alone, Lord Jesus

Author: Anon. Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Thou alone, Lord Jesus, canst true peace impart Lyrics: 1 Thou alone, Lord Jesus, canst true peace impart, Thou dost know the sorrow of the human heart; Thou who cam’st from glory here that heart to win, And in love for sinners suffer’dst once for sin! There is none, Lord Jesus, there is none like Thee, For the broken-hearted there is none like Thee! 2 Hearts bowed down with sadness, laden with their sin, Tho’ Thy blood, Lord Jesus, boldly enter in; Gladly hear Thee calling, “Come to Me and rest,” Lose their heavy burden on Thy loving breast. There is none, Lord Jesus, there is none like Thee, For the heavy laden there is none like Thee! 3 Worldly joy is fleeting—vanity itself; Vain the dazzling brightness, vain the stores of wealth; Vain the pomp and glory; only Thou canst give Peace and satisfaction whilst on earth we live. There is none, Lord Jesus, there is none like Thee, For the soul that thirsteth there is none like Thee! Used With Tune: [Thou alone, Lord Jesus, canst true peace impart]
