Awake, Awake, O Earth!

Author: Lucy Randolph Fleming Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #805 (1972) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Refrain First Line: He lives again! Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake, O earth! Thy many voices raise, And let the echoing hills Repeat the note of praise. Let all the isles rejoice, Let seas take up the strain, Christ from the dead hath come, He lives, He lives again. Refrain: He lives again! Our risen Lord, today! Christ from the dead hath come, He lives, He lives again. 2 Awake, awake, O earth! Forget the hour of gloom, When in thy shudd’ring breast Thy Maker claimed a tomb. Put off thy wintry robes For garb of joyous spring, Crown thee with lilies fair, To greet the risen King. [Refrain] 3 Bring treasures of the field, Bring leaf and blossom sweet, Thy choicest and thy best, Before His pierced feet. While all thy sons are glad, And tears are put away, Let youth and age alike Sing "Christ is ris’n today." [Refrain] 4 Lift up thy gates with praise, And robes of joy put on, The Lord of life and death Hath risen to His throne. He hath gone up on high, And giveth gifts to men; He lives, no more to die, He lives, He lives again.

Author: Lewis Hensley (1824-1905) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #816b (2013) Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God, thy rule, O Christ, begin; break with thine iron rod the tyrannies of sin. 2 Where is thy reign of peace and purity and love? When shall all hatred cease, as in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time that war shall be no more, and lust, oppression, crime shall flee thy face before? 4 We pray thee, Lord, arise, and come in thy great might; revive our longing eyes, which languish for thy sight. 5 Men scorn thy sacred name, and wolves devour thy fold; by many deeds of shame we learn that love grows cold. 6 O'er lands both near and far thick darkness broodeth yet: arise, O Morning Star, arise, and never set!

God, Who Created Me

Author: Henry C. Beeching Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1998 Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1. God, who created me nimble and light of limb, In three elements free, to run, to ride, to swim; Not when the sense is dim, but now from the heart of joy, I would remember Him; take the thanks of a boy. 2. Jesus, King and Lord, whose are my foes to fight, Gird me with Thy sword, swift and sharp and bright. Thee would I serve if I might, and conquer if I can: From day-dawn to night, take the strength of a man. 3. Spirit of love and truth, breathing in grosser clay, The light and flame of youth, delight of men in the fray, Wisdom in strength’s decay; from pain, strife, wrong to be free This best gift I pray, take my spirit to Thee.

Lord, Hear Me in Distress

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3712 Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1. Lord, hear me in distress, regard my suppliant cry, And in Thy faithfulness and righteousness reply. In judgment do not cause Thy servant to be tried; Before Thy holy laws no man is justified. 2. The enemy has sought my soul in dust to tread; To darkness I am brought, forgotten as the dead. My spirit, crushed with grief, is sad and overborne; My heart finds no relief, but desolate I mourn. 3. Recalling former days and all Thy wondrous deeds, The memory of Thy ways to hope and comfort leads. To Thee I stretch my hands, let me not plead in vain; I wait as weary lands wait for refreshing rain. 4. My failing spirit see, O Lord to me make haste; Hide not Thy face from me, less bitter death I taste. O let the morn return, let mercy light my day; For Thee in faith I yearn, O guide me in the way. 5. Lord, save me from my foe, to Thee for help I flee; Teach me Thy way to know, I have no God but Thee. By Thy good Spirit led from trouble and distress, My erring feet shall tread the path of uprightness. 6. O Lord, for Thy name’s sake revive my fainting heart; My soul from trouble take, for just and true Thou art. Remove mine enemy, my cruel foes reward; In mercy rescue me who am Thy servant, Lord.

O God, Be Merciful

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4838 Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1. O God, be merciful, Be merciful to me, For man with constant hate, Would fain my ruin see. My many enemies Against me proudly fight; To overwhelm my soul They watch from morn to night. 2.

All day they wrest my words, Their thoughts are full of hate; They meet, they lurk, they watch, As for my soul they wait; Shall they by wickedness Escape Thy judgment right? O God of righteousness Destroy them in Thy might. 4. Thou knowest all my woes, O treasure Thou my tears; Are they not in Thy book, Where all my life appears? My foes shall backward turn When I appeal to Thee, For this I surely know, That God is still for me. 5. In God, the Lord, I rest, His word of grace I praise, His promise stands secure, Nor fear nor foe dismays; In God I put my trust, I neither doubt nor fear, For man can never harm With God my helper near. 6. Upon me are Thy vows, O God, in whom I live; The sacrifice of praise To Thee I now will give; For Thou hast saved from death, From falling kept me free, That in the light of life My walk may be with Thee.

There Is a Blessèd Home

Author: Henry W. Baker Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6791 Meter: 6.6.6.6 D Lyrics: 1. There is a blessèd home, Beyond this land of woe, Where trials never come, Nor tears of sorrow flow; Where faith is lost in sight, And patient hope is crowned, And everlasting light Its glory throws around. 2. There is a land of peace, Good angels know it well; Glad songs that never cease Within its portals swell; Around its glorious throne Ten thousand saints adore Christ, with the Father One, And Spirit, evermore. 3. O joy all joys beyond, To see the Lamb who died, And count each sacred wound In hands, and feet, and side; To give to Him the praise Of every triumph won, And sing through endless days The great things He hath done. 4. Look up, ye saints of God, Nor fear to tread below The path your Savior trod Of daily toil and woe; Wait but a little while In uncomplaining love His own most gracious smile Shall welcome you above.
