Forever with the Lord!

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 635 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord! Amen! so let it be; Life from the dead is in that word, 'Tis immortality. 2 Here in the body pent, Absent from Him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul! how near At times to faith's foreseeing eye Thy golden gates appear! 4 Ah, then my spirit faints To reach the land I love, The bright inheritance of saints, Jerusalem above! 5 Forever with the Lord! Father, it is Thy will, The promise of that faithful word, E'en here to me fulfil. 6 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word, And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

Before the Lord we bow

Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before the Lord we bow, The God who reigns above, And rules the world below, Boundless in power and love. Our thanks we bring In joy and praise, Our hearts we raise To heaven's high King. 2 The nation Thou hast blest May well Thy love declare, From foes and fears at rest, Protected by Thy care. For this fair land, For this bright day, Our thanks we pay-- Gifts of Thy hand. 3 May every mountain height, Each vale and forest green, Shine in Thy word's pure light, And its rich fruits be seen! May every tongue Be tuned to praise, And join to raise A grateful song. 4 Earth! hear Thy Maker's voice, The great Redeemer own, Believe, obey, rejoice, And worship Him alone; Cast down thy pride, Thy sin deplore, And bow before The Crucified. 5 And when in power He comes, Oh, may our native land, From all its rending tombs, Send forth a glorious band, A countless throng Ever to sing To heaven's high King Salvation's song.

Abide with me; fast falls the even-tide

Appears in 1,723 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Abide with me; fast falls the even-tide; The darkness deepens: Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me! 2 Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word, But as Thou dwell'st with thy disciples, Lord, Familiar, condescending, patient, free, Come, not to sojourn, but abide with me. 3 I need Thy presence every passing hour; What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me. 4 Hold Thou Thy Cross before my closing eyes, Shine, through the gloom, and point me to the skies: Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Alas! and did my Saviour bleed

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2,365 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alas! and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sov'reign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I? 2 Was it for crimes that I have done, he groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! 3 Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut its glories in, when God, the mighty Maker, died for his own creature's sin. 4 Thus might I hide my blushing face while his dear cross appears; dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt mine eyes to tears. 5 But drops of tears can ne'er repay the debt of love I owe. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.

Come to Calvary's holy mountain

Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners, ruin'd by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all; In a full, perpetual tide, Open'd when our Saviour died. 2 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white: Ye shall walk with God in light. 3 Come in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty free remission, Here the troubled peace may find: Health this fountain will restore; He that drinks shall thirst no more. 4 He that drinks shall live for ever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful; God will never Break His covenant in blood, Sign'd when our Redeemer died, Seal'd when He was glorified.

He dies! the Friend of sinners dies!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 647 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He dies! the Friend of sinners dies! Lo! Salem's daughters weep around; A solemn darkness veils the skies, A solemn trembling shakes the ground. 2 Here's love and grief beyond degree: The Lord of glory dies for men! But lo!--what sudden joys we see! Jesus, the dead, revives again. 3 The rising God forsakes the tomb, In vain the tomb forbids His rise: Cherubic legions guard Him home, And shout Him welcome to the skies. 4 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliv'rer reigns; Sing how He spoil'd the hosts of hell, And led the monster Death in chains. 5 Say: "Live for ever, wondrous King! Born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask the monster: "Where's thy sting?" And where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?"

He lives, the great Redeemer lives

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 261 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He lives, the great Redeemer lives, What joy the blest assurance gives! And now, before His Father, God, Pleads the full merit of His blood. 2 Repeated crimes awake our fears, And justice arm'd with frowns appears; But in the Saviour's lovely face Sweet mercy smiles, and all is peace. 3 Hence, then, ye black, despairing thoughts! Above our fears, above our faults, His powerful intercessions rise, And guilt recedes and terror dies. 4 In ev'ry dark, distressful hour, When sin and Satan join their power, Let this dear hope repel the dart, That Jesus bears us on His heart. 5 Great Advocate, Almighty Friend-- On Him our humble hopes depend: Our cause can never, never fail, For Jesus pleads, and must prevail.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Appears in 853 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free, To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succor speedy, To those who suffer wrong; To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemn'd and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall descend like showers Upon the fruitful earth, And love and joy, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth; Before Him, on the mountains, shall peace, the herald, go, And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows ascend, His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove: His name shall stand for ever; That name to us is love.
