With Trembling Awe the Chosen Three

Author: W. W. How, 1823-97 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 With trembling awe the chosen three The holy mount ascended, Where, wrapped in blissful ecstacy, They saw the vision splendid-- Their Lord arrayed in living light, And on His left hand and His right, By glorious saints attended. 2 O vision bright, too bright to tell, The joys of heav'n unveiling! How precious on those hearts it fell, When earthly hopes were failing; When, saints no more on either side, Between the thieves the Savior died 'Mid hate, and scorn, and railing! 3 Grant us, dear Lord, some vision brief Of future triumph telling, Gilding with hope our night of grief, Our clouds of fear dispelling. If the dim foretaste was so bright, O what shall be the dazzling light Of Thine eternal dwelling! Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH

Had God not come, may Israel say

Author: M. Luther Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Had God not come, may Israel say, Had God not come to aid us, Our enemies on that sad day Would surely have dismayed us; A remnant now, and handful small, Held in contempt and scorn by all, Who cruelly would oppress us. 2 Their furious wrath, did God permit, Would quickly have consumed us, And in the deep and yawning pit With life and limb entombed us; Like men o'er whom dark waters roll, The streams had gone e'en o'er our soul, And mightily o'erwhelmed us. 3 Thanks be to God, who from the pit Snatched us, when it was gaping: Our souls, like birds that break the net, To the blue sky escaping; The snare is broken--we are free! The Lord our Helper praiséd be, The God of earth and heaven. Topics: Various Occasions Thanksgiving Day; Various Occassions Reformation Day Used With Tune: [Had God not come, may Israel say]

Every knee to him shall bow, 3 Every island, sea, and mountain, Earth and heaven flee away; All his enemies confounded Hear the trump proclaim his day: Come to judgment! come to judgment! Stand before the Son of man. 4 All who love him view his glory, In his bright, once-marred face: Jesus cometh; all his people Now their heads with gladness raise: Happy mourners! happy mourners! Lo, on clouds he comes, he comes! 5 See redemption, long expected, On that awful day appear; All his people, once despised, Joyful meet him in the air: Hallelujah! hallelujah!

O God, If Thy Beloved Son

Author: H. Brueckner; Joh. Heermann Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O God, if Thy beloved Son Had not to earth descended, Nor by His death salvation won, My woe would not be ended. This sinful, wretched soul of mine Would then in hell forever pine Because of my transgression. 2 But now sweet peace and rest I find, My soul no more despairing, Since He, the sin of all mankind I wondrous patience bearing, For me has true atonement made, Thine ever righteous wrath allayed, And wrought my soul's salvation. 3 I trust in Him with all my heart, And all my sorrow ceases; His wounds abiding peace impart, His blood from guilt releases, Enables me free grace to gain And washes me from ev'ry stain, that snow-white I am rendered. 4 His blood affords me sure relief, He is my joy forever; Now from Thy love no pain or grief My ransomed soul shall sever. The crown of life, by Thy dear Son For me, a wretched sinner, won. No devil can wrest from me. 5 All human righteousness is vain, Our works can never save us; True righteousness by faith we gain, The blood of Christ's must lave us. His death, that perfect sacrifice, Has paid the all-sufficient price; In Him my hope is anchored. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Used With Tune: MONMOUTH
