Now Let Our Mournful Songs Record

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now let our mournful songs record The dying sorrows of our Lord, When He complained in tears and blood, As one forsaken of his God. 2. The Jews beheld Him thus forlorn, And shake their heads, and laugh in scorn: “He rescued others from the grave; Now let him try himself to save. 3. This is the man did once pretend God was his Father and his Friend; If God the blessèd loved him so, Why doth He fail to help him now? 4. Barbarous people! cruel priests! How they stood round like savage beasts! Like lions gaping to devour, When God had left Him in their power. 5. They wound His head, His hands, His feet, Till streams of blood each other meet; By lot His garments they divide, And mock the pangs in which He died. 6. But God, the Father, heard His cry; Raised from the dead, He reigns on high; The nations learn His righteousness, And humble sinners taste His grace.

Let there be light: thus spake the Word

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: "Let there be light:" thus spake the Word; The Word was God; "and there was light:" Still the creative voice is heard; A day is born from every night. And every night shall turn to day, While months, and years, and ages roll; But we have seen a brighter ray Dawn on the chaos of the soul. Nor we alone; its wakening smiles Have broke the gloom of pagan sleep; The Word hath reach'd the utmost isles, God's Spirit moves upon the deep. Already from the dust of death, Man in his Maker's image stands; Once more inhales immortal breath, And stretches forth to heaven his hands. From day to day, before our eyes, Glows and extends the work begun; When shall the now creation rise On every land beneath the sun? When, in the Sabbath of His love, Shall God amidst his labours rest; And, bending from His throne above, Again pronounce His creatures bless'd? Topics: Missionary success
