O that warning cry obey! Now prepare for him a way; let the valleys rise to meet him, and the hills bow down to greet him. 3 Make ye straight what long was crookedl make the rougher places plain; let your hearts be true and humble, as befits his holy reign. For the glory of the Lord now o'er earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that his word is never broken.

Author: Martin Opitz (1597-1639); Samuel Magnus Hill Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Light of light, O Sun of heaven, O Thou bright and morning Star, To mankind in mercy given, Send Thy radiance from afar, Bringing light to all the earth, Health and strength, and joy and mirth; Darkness past, the dawn is breaking, All creation is awaking. 2 Still my soul is thickly shrouded In the chilling mist of sin, And my conscience is beclouded By the ignorance within. Lead me by the hand, I pray, Lest in error's path I stray; Make Thy light my sole attraction, Guiding every thought and action. 3 Spirit of the heavenly morning, Shine into my darkened heart, That, the way of life discerning, I may choose the better part. Make my erring walk secure, Every thought and action pure; Whereso'er my feet be turning, Keep Thy zeal within me burning. 4 Deign Thy feeble flock to strengthen By the bonds of sacred love, And Thy lines of empire lengthen By Thy power from above. Help us govern in Thy sight, That our laws be just and right; That we suffer no oppression, Make our land Thine own possession. 5 Let our lamp of faith be burning On that awful judgment day. While in sin's domain sojourning, Guide us in the heavenward way: Then their praise and thanks to Thee, Lord, in all eternity Shall Thy happy children render, For Thy mercies, kind and tender. Amen.

As the Hart When Noon Is Burning

Author: Edward A. Collier Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. As the hart when noon is burning Pants for springs when waters burst, So for God my soul is yearning, For the living God a-thirst: When shall I, a wand'rer here, In Thy presence, Lord, appear? Daily by my foes derided, Tears they for my food provided. 2. If fond mem'ry seek to borrow Comfort from the former years, These but stir anew my sorrow, Open ev'ry fount of trears: Unto Zion's gates with song, Oh, how oft I led the throng, Who with joy and praise adore Thee, Keeping holiday before Thee. 3. Why art thou cast down and fearful? O my soul, why so dismayed? Hope in God, and eyes now tearful Yet shall see His present aid. Down, O God, my heart is cast, Till I think of mercies past; Then to Thee, my spirit weary Turns as from a desert dreary. 4. As Thy waterfalls resounding, Deep is calling unto deep: Over me, Thine all-surrounding Waves and billow wildly sweep: Yet the Lord will bless my days, I, His loving-kindness praise; And His song, at midnight given, Be my prayer to God in heaven. 5. Why disquieted within me! Why art thou, my soul, cast down! Hope in God, I yet shall praise Him, Who with joy my life will crown. He, my God, whose wondrous grace Is the help that cheers my face, Comforts me, when tears are blinding, As the hart cool waters finding.

O what precious Balm and Healing

Author: R. Massie; J. Heerman; Bernard of Clairvaux Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what precious balm and healing, Jesus, in Thy wounds I find! Ev'ry hour that I am feeling Pains of body and of mind; Should some evil thought rush in, And provoke my soul to sin, Thoughts of Thy deep wounds, from sinning Keep me in its first beginning. 2 Should some lust or sharp temptation Prove too strong for flesh and blood, Lo! I think upon Thy passion, And the breach is soon made good: Or should Satan press me hard, Thinking I am off my guard, Christ, I say, for me was wounded, And the tempter flees confounded. 3 If the world my heart entices On the broad and easy road, And both by its gay devices Silence ev'ry thought of God, When the heavy load I see Which, dear Lord, was laid on Thee, I can still each wild emotion, Calm and blest in my devotion. 4 Yes, whate'er may pain or grieve me, Thy dear wounds can make me whole; When my heart sinks, they revive me, Life pours in upon my soul: May Thy comfort render sweet Ev'ry bitter cup I meet; Thou, who by Thy death and Passion Hast procured my soul's salvation.

Faithful God! I lay before Thee

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: Part the First: I. Faithful God! I lay before Thee All the Anguish of my Heart: Tho' thou know'st how Grief has tore me, Better than I can impart: Lord! my Weakness makes me cry, In Temptation when I vye With the Fiend, that would bereave me Of the Faith design'd to save me. II. Thou! from whom Nought is conceald, Know'st how vain's my Care and Strife; In thy Word thou hast revealed, That free Grace restores my Life: All the Good I find in me, Doth proceed alone from Thee; Thou thy saving Health bestowest On those thou in mercy knowest. III. Unto thee, my God! I'm crying, In this great Necessity; Hear my deep and frequent Sighing, Cast me not away from thee. Satan's malice overthrow, Strengthen me against the Foe; Ever keep my Faith from failing, JESUS! make thy Grace prevailing. IV. JESU! Source of our Adoption, Thou, who never didst reject Those that mourn their sad Corruption, But dost all thy sons direct: Tho' our Faith as small, through Fear, As a Mustard Seed appear, Thou canst make it O Faith's Fountain, Mighty to remove a Mountain. V. Let me find, O my Redeemer! Mercy in mine Agony; Make me conquer the Blasphemer, And break from his Slavery: Strength of Faith add by thy word; Grant to me thy Spirit's Sword; Thus shall Satan be deceived, And his Darts of Paints bereaved. VI. Holy Ghost, of equal Honour, With the Father and the Son, Of all Gifts the only Donor, Hear me from thy Holy Throne; Through thy Mercy I believe; Let me not my self deceive, But depend in my Unfitness On thy all-sufficient Greatness. VII. Rouze me up from present Dullness; Thy good Work in me advance; And relieve me, from the Fullness Of thy gracious Countenance: In me keep the Spark of Grace, That with Joy I run the Race, And obtain the Prize of SION, Which I ever keep my Eye on. Part the Second: VII. Greatest GOD! beyond Relation, Ever blessed ONE in THREE! Thou alone art my Salvation, Strengthen mine Infirmity: Quench thou Satan's fiery Dart, E'er it reach my trembling Heart, Lest the Want of Consolation Drive me into Desperation. IX. Guard me from his vile Devices, Which thou know'st are numberless; Keep me free, when he intices, From a fatal Carelessness: Grant me such a Strength that I May withstand him valiantly, And avoid his secret paces, Thro' thine all-sufficient Graces. X. Reach thy Hand to thy frail Creature, That is now in Terror fast, Shrinking under feeble Nature, Till the mighty Storm is past. Lead me by the Holy Ghost, So that Satan may not boast Of his having disappointed Me, thy Child, thou hast anointed. XI. Come, O Mighty, whom I wait on; Be my Rock and Confidence; I've not Strength to combat SATAN. Raise me to some Eminence; And relieve me with thy Shield, That I may obtain the Field, Overcome that grand Destroyer, That has ever been a Lyar. XII. All my Life shall be employed In thy Praise, with all my Might, That the Fiend has been destroyed, And with Shame has lost the Fight: Glorious shall thy Mercy be, Here, and in Eternity; Heav'n and Earth, O great Jehovah! Shall resound with Hallelujah. Topics: Spiritual Distress Used With Tune: [Faithful God! I lay before Thee]
