One sweetly solemn thought

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 378 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould’ring in the clay? 2 Corruption, earth, and worms Shall but refine this flesh, Till my triumphant spirit comes To put it on afresh. 3 God my Redeemer lives, And often from the skies Looks down, and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 4 Arrayed in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And every shape, and every face, Look heav’nly and divine. 5 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus’ dying love; We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 6 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.

My Heart Does Overflow

Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My heart does overflow, a goodly theme is mine; my eager tongue with joyful song does praise the King divine. Supremely fair you are, your lips with grace o'erflow; his richest blessings evermore does God on you bestow. 2 Now gird thee with your sword, O strong and mighty One, in splendid majesty arrayed, more glorious than the sun. Triumphantly ride forth for meekness, truth, and right; your arm shall gain the victory in wondrous deeds of might. 3 Your strength shall overcome all those that hate the King, and under your dominion strong the nations you shall bring. Your royal throne, O God, forevermore shall stand; eternal truth and justice wield the scepter in your hand. 4 Since you were sinless found, the Lord, by you confessed, anointed you with perfect joy— you are supremely blessed. Your garments breathe of myrrh and spices sweet and rare; glad strains of heav'nly music ring throughout your palace fair. 5 Amid your glorious train kings' daughters waiting stand, and fairest gems bedeck your bride, the queen at your right hand. O royal bride, give heed, and to my words attend; for Christ, the King, forsake the world and ev'ry former friend.

And Am I Born to Die

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 205 hymnals First Line: And am I born to die? Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? A land of deepest shade, unpierced by human thought, The dreary regions of the dead, Where all things are forgot? 2 Soon as from earth I go, What will become of me? Eternal happiness or woe Must then my portion be: Waked by the trumpet’s sound, I from my grave shall rise, And see the Judge, with glory crowned, And see the flaming skies! 3 Who can resolve the doubt That tears my anxious breast? Shall I be with the damned cast out, or numbered with the blest? I must from God be driven, Or with my Saviour dwell: Must come at His command to heaven, Or else depart to hell? 4 O, Those who wouldst not have One wretched sinner die: Who didst Thyself my soul to save From endless misery Show me the way to shun Thy dreadful wrath severe; That when Thou comest on Thy throne I may with joy repent. Amen. Topics: Eternal Life Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Oft He forgave their sins, Nor would destroy their race; And oft He made His vengeance known, When they abused His grace. 4. Exalt the Lord our God, Whose grace is still the same; Still He’s a God of holiness, And jealous for His name. Used With Tune: ACCRA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Now Rest, Ye Pilgrim Host

Author: Rossiter Worthington Raymond Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest, ye pilgrim host, Look back upon your way, The mountains climbed, the torrents crossed, Through many a weary day. From this victorious height, How fair the past appears, God's grace and glory shining bright On all the bygone years. 2 How many, at His call, Have parted from our throng! They watch us from the crystal wall, And echo back our song. They rest, beyond complaints, Beyond all sighs and tears: Praise be to God for all His saints Who wrought in bygone years. 3 The banners they upbore Our hands still lift on high; The Lord they followed evermore To us is also nigh. Arise, arise, and tread The future without fears; He leadeth still Whose hand hath led Through all the bygone years. 4 When we have reached the home We seek with weary feet, Our children's children still shall come To keep these ranks complete; And He Whose host is one Throughout the countless spheres Will guide His marching servants on Through everlasting years. Amen. Topics: Occasional Anniversary; Anniversaries Used With Tune: CHALVEY
