Father, I Long, I Faint To See

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9994 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Father, I long, I faint to see The place of Thine abode; I’d leave Thine earthly courts, and flee Up to Thy seat, my God! 2 Here I behold Thy distant face, And ’tis a pleasing sight; But to abide in Thine embrace Is infinite delight. 3 I’d part with all the joys of sense To gaze upon Thy throne; Pleasure springs fresh for ever thence, Unspeakable, unknown. 4 There all the heav’nly hosts are seen, In shining ranks they move, And drink immortal vigor in With wonder and with love. 5 Then at Thy feet with awful fear Th’ adoring armies fall; With joy they shrink to nothing there, Before th’ eternal All. 6 There I would vie with all the host In duty and in bliss; While "less than nothing" I could boast, And "vanity confess." 7 The more Thy glories strike mine eyes The humbler I shall lie; Thus while I sink, my joys shall rise Unmeasurably high.

He Who On Earth As Man Was Known

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10315 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 He who on earth as man was known, And bore our sins and pains; Now, seated on th’eternal throne, The God of glory reigns. 2 His hands the wheels of nature guide With an unerring skill; And countless worlds extended wide, Obey His sovereign will. 3 While harps unnumbered sound His praise, In yonder world above; His saints on earth admire His ways, And glory in His love. 4 His righteousness, to faith revealed, Wrought out for guilty worms, Affords a hiding place and shield, From enemies and storms. 5 This land, through which His pilgrims go, Is desolate and dry; But streams of grace from Him o’erflow Their thirst to satisfy. 6 When troubles, like a burning sun, Beat heavy on their head; To this almighty Rock they run, And find a pleasing shade. 7 How glorious He! how happy they In such a glorious friend! Whose love secures them all the way, And crowns them at the end. Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND

How Shall I Look Upon That Brow?

Author: K. Y. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10796 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How shall I look upon that brow Lyrics: 1 How shall I look upon that brow, O crowned with thorns for me? How shall I lift my sinful eyes, Those glorious eyes to see? 2 How shall I dare to look upon The piercèd hands and feet, When all the dead in Christ shall rise Their risen Lord to meet? 3 How shall I venture, holy Lord, To come before Thee now, All stained with sin my evil heart, Its mark upon my brow? 4 My waywardness, my willfulness, The sins I dare not name, Gave to the Lord of Life His death, The Lord of Glory shame. 5 The lame and blind were hated then Of holy David’s soul; They came to Thee in temple, Lord, And Thou didst make them whole. 6 The leper dared not sit or rest Where trace of man had been; Yet didst Thou deign, all merciful, To touch, and make him clean. 7 From some the righteous pure will shrink, And shun their face to see, But harlot and the publican Thou calledst unto Thee. 8 And when Thy blessèd hands were pierced, Upon the bitter tree, Even in that hour of agony, Thou thought with love of me. 9 Alas! I knew not what I did, I know not what I do, When by my sins I crucify The Son of God anew. 10 I only know that I am vile, More vile than words can say, But know that Jesus did not will The worst be cast away.

In Mercy, Not In Wrath, Rebuke

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12038 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, rebuke Thy feeble worm, my God! My spirit dreads Thine angry look, And trembles at Thy rod. 2 Have mercy, Lord, for I am weak, Regard my heavy groans; O let Thy voice of comfort speak, And heal my broken bones! 3 By day my busy beating head Is filled with anxious fears; By night, upon my restless bed, I weep a flood of tears. 4 Thus desolate I sit and mourn, Mine eyes grow dull with grief; How long, my Lord, ere Thou return, And bring my soul relief? 5 O come and show Thy power to save, And spare my fainting breath; For who can praise Thee in the grave, Or sing Thy name in death? 6 Hear Satan, cruel and envious foe, Insult me in my pain; He smiles to see me brought so low, And tells me hope is vain. 7 But hence, thou enemy, depart! Nor tempt me to despair; My Savior comes to cheer my heart, The Lord has heard my prayer. Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND

When Any Turn From Zion's Way

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13048 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When any turn from Zion’s way Lyrics: 1 When any turn from Zion’s way, (Alas! what numbers do!) Methinks I hear my Savior say, "Wilt thou forsake Me too?" 2 Ah Lord! with such a heart as mine, Unless Thou hold me fast; I feel I must, I shall decline, And prove like them at last. 3 Yet Thou alone hast power, I know, To save a wretch like me; To whom, or whither, could I go, If I should turn from Thee? 4 Beyond a doubt I rest assured Thou art the Christ of God; Who hast eternal life secured By promise and by blood. 5 The help of men and angels joined, Could never reach my case; Nor can I hope relief to find, But in Thy boundless grace. 6 No voice but Thine can give me rest, And bid my fears depart; No love but Thine can make me blest, And satisfy my heart. 7 What anguish has that question stirred, If I will also go? Yet, Lord, relying on Thy Word, I humbly answer, "No!" Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND

Thy Greatness, Lord

Thy throne is fixed, Thy power extends, O’er Heaven and earth and hell. 2 Who can evade or who resist, The vengeance of a God? Thy wrath vindictive, once provoked, Spreads terror all abroad. 3 The wide dominion and the power, The sovereignty is Thine; ‘Tis Thine the universe to rule, With majesty divine. 4 To Thee, by all the hosts of Heaven, By all the human race, Be everlasting honors given, And universal praise.

'Tis Good, Beyond All Other Good

Thou Only Couldst, Great Three In One

Author: James Holme Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16269 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thou only couldst, great Three in One Lyrics: 1 Thou only couldst, great Three in One, Salvation’s scheme contrive, Reveal a Savior to atone And bid dead souls revive. 2 ’Tis Thine alone, O God of Love, With our hard hearts to strive. Make darkness from the mind remove, And light and hope revive. 3 Be this, O Lord, a quickening hour, Hell of its prey deprive, Convert us by Thy sovereign power, And Thy own work revive. 4 When pleasure’s wiles, or earth-born fear Our souls to sin would drive, Let Thy own light of truth appear And our weak faith revive. 5 O Lord, the powers of death destroy That with our sins connive; Fill us with soul-exalting joy, And Heav’n-born peace revive. 6 Jesus, our brother and high priest, Is evermore alive. By Him from guilt and and grief released May we thro’ grace revive. 7 From strength to strength may we proceed, Till all in Heav’n arrive; And from each earthly trammel freed Like Thy own self revive.

Children Of Zion, Know Your King

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854, alt. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16325 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Children of Zion, know your King Lyrics: 1 Children of Zion, know your King, Your own Messiah hail: Hosanna in His temple sing, For He hath rent the veil. 2 Himself the sacrifice for sin, As your High-Priest He died; With His own blood, He entered in— Behold Him crucified! 3 Behold Him on the mercy seat, High in the holiest place; Now cast yourselves before His feet, Then rise to see His face. 4 That face with reconciling beams Shines forth upon you all; No longer mourn by Babel’s streams, He calls you—hear His call. 5 So shall your hearts within you burn; While guided by His voice, With songs to Zion you return, And in your God rejoice, 6 At His great name, bow every knee; Let every tongue confess Christ, whom your fathers slew, is he, The Lord your Righteousness.

Arise And Shine, Your Light Is Come

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16415 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Arise and shine, your light is come, Fair islands of the West! Awake and sing, once deaf and dumb, Now islands of the blest. 2 Shine, for the glory of the Lord Your coral reefs surrounds: Sing, for the trumpet of His word O’er all your ocean sounds. 3 Poor Africa! through thy waste sands, Where Calvary’s fountain flows, Deserts become Immanuel’s lands, And blossom like the rose. 4 India, beneath the chariot wheels Of Juggernaut o’erthrown, Thy heart a quickening spirit feels, A pulse beats through the stone. 5 O China! see thy quaking wall: Foredoomed by Heav’n’s decree, A hand is writing on it— "Fall!" A voice goes forth— "Be free!" 6 Ye pagan tribes! of every race, Clime, country, language, hue, Believe, obey, be saved by grace, The Gospel speaks to you. 7 Father of lights! Thy will be done Here, as by saints above; Give earth’s whole empire to Thy Son, For He must reign in love. 8 Reign, till beneath His feet, all foes Forever vanquished lie; And the last judgment’s sentence close The book of prophecy.
