The rising God forsakes the tomb

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The rising God forsakes the tomb; Up to His Father's court He flies; Cherubic legions guard Him home, And shout Him welcome to the skies. 2 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliverer reigns; Sing how He spoil'd the hosts of hell, And let the tyrant death in chains. 3 Say, "Live for ever, glorious King, Born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask--"O death, where is thy sting? And where thy victory, O grave?"

The servants of Jehovah's will

Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The servants of Jehovah's will His favour's gentle beams enjoy; Their upright hearts let gladness fill, And cheerful songs their tongues employ. 2 To Him your voice in anthems raise, Jehovah's awful name He bears; In Him rejoice, extol His praise, Who rides upon high-rolling spheres. 3 His chariots numberless, His powers Are heavenly hosts, that wait His will; His presence now fills Sion's towers, As once it honour'd Sinai's hill. 4 Ascending high, in triumph Thou Captivity hast captive led, And on Thy people didst bestow Thy gifts and graces freely sehd.

The shadows of the evening hours

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 237 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The shadows of the evening hours Fall from the darkening sky, Upon the fragrance of the flowers The dews of evening lie. 2 Before Thy throne, O Lord of heaven, We kneel at close of day; Look on Thy children from on high, And hear us while we pray. 3 The sorrows of Thy servants, Lord, O do not Thou despise, But let the incense of our prayers Before Thy mercy rise; 4 The brightness of the coming night Upon the darkness rolls; With hopes of future glory chase The shadows on our souls. 5 Slowly the rays of daylight fade: So fade within our heart The hopes of earthly love and joy, That one by one depart; 6 Slowly the bright stars, one by one, Within the heavens shine:-- Give us, O Lord, fresh hopes in heaven, And trust in things divine. 7 Let peace, O Lord! Thy peace, O God, Upon our souls descend; From midnight fears, and perils, Thou Our trembling hearts defend: 8 Give us a respite from our toil, Calm and subdue our woes; Through the long day we labor, Lord, O give us now repose.

Lord! even so; I wait Thy hour: Jesus, my Saviour, come. Topics: Whitsuntide

The sun is sinking fast

Meter: Irregular Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sun is sinking fast, The daylight dies; Let love awake, and pay Her evening sacrifice. 2 As Christ upon the Cross His head inclined, And to His Father's hands His parting soul resign'd; 3 So now herself my soul Would wholly give Into His sacred charge, In Whom all spirits live; 4 So now beneath His eye Would calmly rest, Without a wish or thought Abiding in the breast; 5 Save that His will be done, Whate'er betide; Dead to herself, and dead In Him to all beside. 6 Thus would I live: yet now Not I, but He, In all His power and love, Henceforth alive in me. 7 One Sacred Trinity, One Lord Divine, May I be ever His, And He for ever mine.

The world is very evil

Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil, The times are waxing late, Be sober and keep vigil, The Judge is at the gate; The Judge Who comes in mercy, The Judge Who comes with might, Who comes to end the evil, Who comes to crown the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heavenly gladness lead, To the light that has no evening, That knows nor moon nor sun, The light so new and golden, The light that is but one: 3 The Home of fadeless splendour, Of flowers that fear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children Who here as exiles mourn; 'Midst power that knows no limit, Where wisdom has no bound, The Beatific Vision Shall glad the saints around. 4 O happy, holy portion, Refection for the blest, True vision of true beauty, Sweet cure for all distrest; Strive, man, to win that glory; Toil, man, to gain that light; Send hope before to grasp it, Till hope be lost in sight. 5 O sweet and blessèd country, The Home of God's elect! O sweet and blessèd country That eager hearts expect! Jesu, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest.

Thee will I love, beneath Thy frown Or smile, Thy sceptre or Thy rod; What though my flesh and heart decay? Thee shall I love in endless day. Topics: The Christian Life Love

There is a fountain filled with blood

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,543 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain fill'd with blood Drawn from Emmanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, as vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power Till all the ransom'd Church of God Be saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave.
