How great was our dear Lord's distress

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How great was our dear Lord's distress; His trials how severe: When in a howling wilderness, He strove with Satan there. 2 That foe assault's him with disdain; Thou art here left alone, To suffer hunger, thirst and pain-- Would God forsake his son! 3 Now to supply thy present need; Art thou the son of God! Command these stones that they be bread, Supply thyself with food. 4 May we reply as Jesus did, When we are tempted too! This is the means, by which we rid, Ourselves of such a foe. 5 Man does not live by bread alone, But by that sacred word: By which all things are made and done, As order'd by the Lord. 6 In various ways the tempter tried, To cause the Saviour's fall; But was defeated and defied, And miss'd his aim in all. 7 Christ conquer'd and he gain'd the day, In all he overcame-- To him we look, to him we pray, And we shall do the same. 8 To his dear word and promises, We ever have recourse; In him always have we success, To banish Satan's force.

The saddened heart, the restless soul, The toil worn frame and mind, Alike confess thy sweet control, O love of God most kind! 4.

When Christ the blessed Saviour died

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Christ the blessed Saviour died, And yielded up his ghost; My suff'rings now are past, he cries, I die to save the lost. 2 A pardon for our guilt he gain'd, When Christ for us was slain; Yet other blessings were obtain'd, When Jesus rose again. 3 When he ascended up to God, And took his seat above: From whence his spirit is bestow'd, Who sheds abroad his love. 4 Which works in us that living faith; That faith which can destroy The pow'rs of Satan, sin and death, And fills our hearts with joy. 5 By Jesus' suff'rings we are sav'd, And fitted for that place: Where happiness abound indeed, Before the Saviour's face.

Author: Rev. Chas. Wesley; Murray Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 176 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing With those whose work is done; For all the servants of our King In heav'n and earth are one. 2 One family, we dwell in Him, One Church, above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 3 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. 4 E'en now to their eternal home There pass some spirits blest; While others to the margin come, Waiting their call to rest. 5 Jesus, be Thou our constant Guide Then, when the word is given, Bid Jordan's narrow stream divide, And bring us safe to heaven. Amen. Topics: All Saints; General Used With Tune: [Let saints on earth in concert sing]

Keble Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, in Thy Name Thy servants plead, And Thou hast sworn to hear; Thine is the harvest, Thine the seed, The fresh and fading year. 2 Our hope, when autumn winds blew wild, We trusted, Lord, with Thee: And now that spring has on us smiled, We wait on Thy decree. 3 The former and the latter rain, The summer sun and air, The green ear, and the golden grain, All Thine, are ours by prayer. 4 Thine too by right, and ours by grace, The wondrous growth unseen, The hopes that soothe, the fears that brace, The love that shines serene. 5 So grant the precious things brought forth By sun and moon below, That Thee, in Thy new heavens and earth, We never may forego. Amen. Topics: Rogation Days; Providence Used With Tune: [Lord, in Thy name Thy servants plead]
