How Many Pass the Guilty Night

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. How many pass the guilty night In revelings and frantic mirth! The creature is their sole delight, Their happiness the things of earth; For us suffice the season past; We choose the better part at last. 2. We will not close our wakeful eyes We will not let our eyelids sleep, But humbly lift them to the skies, And all a solemn vigil keep; So many years on sin bestowed, Can we not watch one night for God! 3. We can, O Jesus, for Thy sake, Devote our every hour to Thee; Speak but the word, our souls shall wake, And sing with cheerful melody; Thy praise shall our glad tongues employ, And every heart shall dance for joy. 4. O may we all triumphant rise, With joy upon our heads return, And far above those nether skies, By Thee on eagles’ wings upborne, Through all yon radiant circles move, And gain the highest heaven of love!

To Christ The Lord!

Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: To Christ the Lord! The incarnate Word! Lyrics: 1 To Christ the Lord! The incarnate Word! Who left for us His Father’s throne, Put off His crown, to earth came down, And lived amongst us as our own, The praises of our lives belong; Accept, O Lord, both lives and song. 2 To Him who lay, as on this day, Low in His manger bed on earth; The holy Child who, undefiled, Was born to give us second birth; The praises of our lives belong; Accept, O Lord, both lives and song. 3 His name be blest, who, from His rest, Came down to suffer for us here, Our sins to bear, our griefs to share, To shed, and dry the mourner’s tear; The praises of our lives belong; Accept, O Lord, both lives and song. 4 Glory and love to God above Be ever in the highest given, Good will to men below, and then Peace, endless peace, ’twixt earth and Heav’n; The praises of our lives belong; Accept, O Lord, both lives and song.
