The Heavens Above Declare
O LORD, You Are My Light
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O LORD, you are my light
and my salvation near;
then who will cause me fright
or fill my heart with fear?
While God my strength, my life sustains,
secure from fear my soul remains.
2 My one request has been
and still this prayer I raise:
that I may live within
God's house for all my days,
God's glorious beauty to admire,
and in his temple to inquire.
3 When troubles round me swell,
when fears and dangers throng,
securely I will dwell
in his pavilion strong.
Within the shelter of his tent
he hides me till the storm is spent.
4 Uplifted on a rock
above my foes around,
amid the battle shock
my song shall still resound.
Then joyful offerings I will bring;
the LORD God's praise my heart shall sing.

Behold a Little Child
Author: William W. How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Behold a little child,
laid in a manger bed;
The wintry blasts blow wild
around His infant head;
But who is this so lowly laid?
’Tis He by whom the worlds were made.
2. Alas! in what poor state
the Son of God is seen;
Why did the Lord so great
choose out a home so mean?
That we may learn from pride to flee,
And to follow His humility.
3. Where Joseph plies his trade,
lo, Jesus labors, too;
The hands that all things made
an earthly craft pursue,
That weary men in Him may rest,
And faithful toil through Him be blessed.
4. Among the doctors see
the Boy so full of grace;
Say, wherefore taketh He
the scholar’s lowly place?
That children all, with reverence meet,
May sit and learn at Jesus’ feet.
5. Christ, once Thyself a boy,
our childhood guard and guide;
Be Thou its light and joy,
and still with us abide,
That Thy dear love, so great and free,
May draw us evermore to Thee. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT

To see, without a veil, His face!

The unction from above,
And in His Spirit lived,
Obedient to His love,

Rejoice with all the sanctified!

Shall soon the saints receive,
Above yon angel powers
In glorious joy to live;
Far from a world of grief and sin,
With God eternally shut in.

The trumpet’s welcome sound;
To see our Lord appear,
Watching let us be found;
When Jesus doth the heavens bow,
Be found—as, Lord, Thou find’st us now! Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, by John and Charles Wesley, 1749

When in His Might the Lord Arose
Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: When in his might the Lord Lyrics: 1 When in his might the Lord
arose to set us free,
and Zion was restored
from her captivity,
in transports then of joy and mirth
we praised the Lord of all the earth.
2 The nations saw with fear
the might of God displayed,
when he at last drew near
to give his people aid;
great things for us the Lord has wrought,
and gladness to our hearts has brought.
3 Again refresh us, Lord,
with your reviving love,
and be your blessing poured
in mercy from above;
by grace revive our hearts again,
as streams refreshed by copious rain.
4 Although with bitter tears
the sower bears his seed,
when harvest time appears
he shall be glad indeed;
for they that in the sowing weep
shall yet in joy and gladness reap. Topics: God Power of; Grace; Revival; Sowing and Reaping; Zion Scripture: Psalm 126 Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; mod.

The Promises I Sing
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The promises I sing,
Which sovereign Love hath spoke;
Nor will th’eternal King
His words of grace revoke;
They stand secure, and steadfast still;
Not Zion’s hill abides so sure.
2 The mountains melt away
When once the Judge appears,
And sun and moon decay,
That measure mortals’ years;
But still the same, in radiant lines,
The promise shines thro’ all the flame.
3 Their harmony shall sound
Thro’ mine attentive ears,
When thunders cleave the ground,
And dissipate the spheres;
’Midst all the shock of that dread scene
I stand serene, Thy Word my rock.

The Promises I Sing
What Contradictions Meet
Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What contradictions meet
In ministers’ employ!
It is a bitter sweet,
A sorrow full of joy:
No other post affords a place
For equal honor, or disgrace!
2 Who can describe the pain
Which faithful preachers feel;
Constrained to speak, in vain,
To hearts as hard as steel?
Or who can tell the pleasures felt,
When stubborn hearts begin to melt?
3 The Savior’s dying love,
The soul’s amazing worth;
Their utmost efforts move,
And draw their bowels forth:
They pray and strive, their rest departs,
Till Christ be formed in sinners’ hearts.
4 If some small hope appear,
They still are not content;
But, with a jealous fear,
They watch for the event:
Too oft they find their hopes deceived,
Then, how their inmost souls are grieved!
5 But when their pains succeed,
And from the tender blade
The ripening ears proceed,
Their toils are overpaid:
No harvest joy can equal theirs,
To find the fruit of all their cares.
6 On what has now been sown
Thy blessing, Lord, bestow;
The power is Thine alone,
To make it spring and grow:
Do Thou the gracious harvest raise,
And Thou, alone, shalt have the praise. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 2

We'll Sing, In Spite Of Scorn
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: We’ll sing, in spite of scorn Lyrics: 1 We’ll sing, in spite of scorn:
Our theme is come from Heav’n:
To us a Child is born,
To us a Son is giv’n;
The sweetest news that ever came
We’ll sing, though all the world should blame.
2 The long expected morn
Has dawned upon the earth;
The Savior Christ is born,
And angels sing His birth:
We’ll join the bright seraphic throng,
We’ll share their joys, and swell their song.
3 O! ’tis a lofty theme,
Supplied by angels’ tongues!
All other objects seem
Unworthy of our songs.
This sacred theme has boundless charms,
It fills, it captivates, it warms.
4 Now sing of peace divine,
Of grace to guilty man;
No wisdom, Lord, but Thine
Could form the wondrous plan;
Where peace and righteousness embrace,
And justice goes along with grace.
5 Give praise to God on high,
With angels round His throne;
Give praise to God with joy,
Give praise to God alone!
’Tis meet His saints their songs should raise,
And give the Savior endless praise. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT

When souls like drops of dew
Shall own Thy gentle sway:
O may it bless our longing eyes,
And bear our shouts beyond the skies.

Behold the nations sue
To wear Thy gentle chain:
When earth and time are known no more,
Thy throne shall stand forever sure. Used With Tune: ARTHUR'S SEAT

Satan, the world, and sin;
But He shall tread them down.
And bring His kingdom in:
Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;

In righteousness divine,
With all the hosts of God
In one great chorus join,
Join all on earth, rejoice and sing;
