God, How Can We Comprehend?

Author: Carolyn W. Gillette Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1762 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: God, how can we comprehend Languages: English Tune Title: ABERYSTWYTH (Parry)

Author: Joshua Marsden Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1945 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1. Go, ye messengers of God! Like the beams of morning fly, Take the wonder working rod, Wave the banner cross on high; Where the lofty minaret Gleams along the morning skies, Wave it till the crescent set, And the Star of Jacob rise! 2. Go to many a tropic isle In the bosom of the deep, Where the skies forever smile And the oppressed forever weep: O’er their gloomy night of care Pour the living light of Heaven; Chase away their dark despair, Bid them hope to be forgiven! 3. Where the golden gates of day Open on the palmy East, Wide the bleeding cross display, Spread the Gospel’s richest feast: Bear the tidings round the ball, Visit every soil and sea: Preach the cross of Christ to all, Jesus’ love is full and free!

Great and Fair Is She

Author: William Watson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2020 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Great and fair is she, our land Lyrics: 1. Great and fair is she, our land, High of heart and strong of hand; Dawn is on her forehead still, In her veins youth’s arrowy thrill. Hers are riches, might and fame; All the earth resounds her name; In her roadsteads navies ride: Hath she need of aught beside? 2. Power Unseen, before whose eyes Nations fall and nations rise, Grant she climb not to her goal All-forgetful of the Soul! Firm in honor be she found, Justice-armed and mercy-crowned, Blest in labor, blest in ease, Blest in noiseless charities. 3. Unenslaved by things that must Yield full soon to moth and rust, Let her hold a light on high Men unborn may travel by. Mightier still she then shall stand, Molded by Thy secret hand, Power Eternal, at whose call Nations rise and nations fall. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Hymnal: Sing the Faith #2089 (2003) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice echoes through the desert still, calling us to make a choice, bidding us to do God's will: "Turn from sin and be baptized; cleanse your heart and mind and soul. Quitting all the sins you prized, yield your life to God's control. 2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows: lives of justice, truth, and love. Trust no other claim than those; set your heart on things above. Soon the Lord will come in power, burning clean the threshing floor: then will flames the chaff devour; wheat alone shall fill God's store." 3 With such preaching stark and bold John proclaimed salvation near, and his timeless warnings hold words of hope to all who hear. So we dare to journey on, led by faith through ways untrod, till we come at last like John - to behold the Lamb of God. Languages: English Tune Title: LA GRANGE

Happy Soul, That, Free from Harms

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2136 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1. Happy soul, that, free from harms, Rests within his Shepherd’s arms! Who his quiet shall molest? Who shall violate his rest? Jesus doth his spirit bear; Jesus takes his every care; He who found the wandering sheep, Jesus, still delights to keep. 2. O that I might so believe, Steadfastly to Jesus cleave; On His only love rely, Smile at the destroyer nigh; Free from sin and servile fear, Have my Jesus ever near; All His care rejoice to prove, All His paradise of love! 3. Jesus, seek Thy wandering sheep; Bring me back, and lead, and keep; Take on Thee my every care; Bear me, on Thy bosom bear; Let me know my Shepherd’s voice; More and more in Thee rejoice; More and more of Thee receive; Ever in Thy spirit live. 4. Live, till all Thy life I know, Perfect, through my Lord, below; Gladly then from earth remove, Gathered to the fold above; O that I at last may stand, With the sheep at Thy right hand; Take the crown so freely given, Enter in by Thee to Heaven!

Happy Magdalene, to Whom

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2139 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1. Happy Magdalene, to whom Christ the Lord vouchsafed t’appear! Newly risen from the tomb, Would He first be seen by her? Her by seven devils possessed, Till His Word the fiends expelled; Quenched the hell within her breast, All her sins and sickness healed. 2. Yes, to her the Master came, First His welcome voice she hears: Jesus calls her by her name, He the weeping sinner cheers, Lets her the dear task repeat, While her eyes again run o’er; Lets her wash His bleeding feet, Kiss them, and with joy adore. 3. Highly favored soul! To her Farther still His grace extends, Raises the glad messenger, Sends her to His drooping friends; Tidings of their living Lord First in her report they find: She must spread the Gospel word, Teach the teachers of mankind. 4. Who can now presume to fear? Who despair his Lord to see? Jesus, wilt Thou not appear, Show Thyself alive to me? Yea, my God, I dare not doubt, Thou shalt all my sins remove; Thou hast cast a legion out, Thou wilt perfect me in love. 5. Surely Thou hast called me now! Now I hear the voice divine, At Thy wounded feet I bow, Wounded for whose sins but mine! I have nailed Him to the tree, I have sent Him to the grave: But the Lord is ris’n for me, Hold of Him by faith I have. 6. Here for ever I would lie, Didst Thou not Thy servant raise, Send me forth to testify All the wonders of Thy grace. Lo! I at Thy bidding go, Gladly to Thy followers tell They their rising God may know, They the life of Christ may feel. 7. Hear, ye brethren of the Lord, (Such as He vouchsafes to call) O believe the Gospel word, Christ hath died, and rose for all: Turn ye from your sins to God, Haste to Galilee, and see Him, who bought Thee with His blood, Him, who rose to live in Thee.

Hark! the Song of Jubilee

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2161 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1. Hark! the song of jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fullness of the sea When it breaks upon the shore: Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main. 2. Hallelujah! hark! the sound From the depths unto the skies, Wakes above, beneath, around, All creation’s harmonies; See Jehovah’s banner furled, Sheathed His sword; He speaks; ’tis done! And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of His Son. 3. He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway; He shall reign, when, like a scroll Yonder heavens have passed away: Then the end; beneath His rod Man’s last enemy shall fall; Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ, is all in all. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

He Is Gone, a Cloud of Light

Author: Arthur P. Stanley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2278 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: He is gone--a cloud of light Lyrics: 1. He is gone—a cloud of light Has received Him from our sight; High in Heav’n, where eye of men Follows not, nor angels’ ken; Through the veils of time and space, Passed into the holiest place; All the toil, the sorrow done, All the battle fought and won. 2. He is gone—and we remain In this world of sin and pain: In the void which He has left On this earth, of Him bereft. We have still His work to do, We can still His path pursue; Seek Him both in friend and foe, In ourselves His image show. 3. He is gone—we heard Him say, Good that I should go away, Gone is that dear form and face, But not gone His present grace; Though Himself no more we see, Comfortless we cannot be: No, His Spirit still is ours, Quickening, freshening all ours powers. 4. He is gone—towards their goal World and church must onward roll; Far behind we leave the past; Forward are our glances cast: Still His words before us range Through the ages as they change: Wheresoe’er the truth shall lead, He will give whate’er we need. 5. He is gone—but we once more Shall behold Him as before; In the heaven of heavens the same, As on earth He went and came; In the many mansions there, Place for us He will prepare; In that world unseen, unknown, He and we shall yet be one. 6. He is gone—but not in vain, Wait until He comes again: He is risen, He is not here, Far above this earthly sphere; Evermore in heart and mind There our peace in Him we find: To our own eternal Friend, Thitherward let us ascend.
