Emancipation from Spiritual Slavery

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Rebels, who had dared to show Lyrics: 1 Rebels, who had dared to show Proud contempt of God Most High, Bound in iron and in woe, Shades of death and darkness night, Humbled low with toil and pain, Fell, and looked for help in vain. 2 To Jehovah then they cried In their trouble, and He saved, Threw the prison open wide Where they lay to death enslaved, Bade the gloomy shadows flee, Broke their bonds and set them free. 3 Sons of men, awake to praise God the Lord Who reigns above, Gracious in His works and ways, Wondrous in redeeming love; Iron bars He breaks like clay, And the brazen gates give way.

Confident Access to God

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: In the fullness of Thy grace Lyrics: 1 In the fullness of Thy grace To Thy house I will repair; Bowing toward thy holy place, In Thy fear to worship there. Lead me in thy righteousness, Let my foes assail in vain; Lest my feet be turned aside, Make Thy way before me plain. 2 False and faithless are my foes, In their mouth no truth is found; Deadly are the words they speak, All their thoughts with sin abound. Bring, O God, their plans to naught, Hold them guilty in thy sight, For against Thee and thy law They have set themselves to fight. 3 O let all that trust Thy care Ever glad and joyful be; Let them joy who love Thy Name, Safely guarded, Lord, by Thee. For a blessing from Thy store To the righteous Thou wilt yield; Thou wilt compass him about With Thy favor as a shield. The Psalter: with responsive readings, 1912

There Is Purpose In This Waste

Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 There is purpose in this waste; Women, as away ye haste, Precious spices strew the ground, Sweetness they will shed around. 2 What ye meant for Him, on us He has now bestowed, and thus Sunny winds with fragrant breath Will disperse the scent of death. 3 Happy morning, calmly bright, Never clouds shall dim your light; Happy garden, kindly free, All the world may walk in thee. 4 Love is freer than the wave, Love is stronger than the grave, Love is brighter than the sky, Love has won the victory.

On our span-long pilgrimage

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: On our span-long pilgrimage, Youth, maturity, old age, What is life?--a passing breath; Time?--a step from birth to death, 219 On that step, that breath, that span, Hang the destinies of man; Not on this poor earth alone, But through worlds unseen, unknown. Here a paradise of bliss, There a bottomless abyss, At the saint's or sinner's feet, Fraught with joys or terrors meet. While we walk by faith below, Grace direct the way we go, Through thy gloom, Gethsemane! O'er thy height, sad Calvary! Thus in travelling from afar, Be Christ's cross our leading star, And His garden-grave our rest, When life's sun goes down the west. There in hope our dust be found, When the years have fill'd their round, Sown in weakness, raised with power, In the new creation's hour. Sacred Poems and Hymns
