Firm As The Earth Thy Gospel Stands

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Firm as the earth Thy Gospel stands, My Lord, my hope, my trust; If I am found in Jesus’ hands, My soul can ne’er be lost. 2 His honor is engaged to save The meanest of His sheep; All that His heav’nly Father gave His hands securely keep. 3 Nor death nor hell shall e’er remove His favorites from His breast; In the dear bosom of His love They must for ever rest.

When Angels shall their trumpets sound

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Angels shall their trumpets sound, Descending in the skies: To wake the nations under ground, And cause them all to rise. 2 Then shall the Righteous Judge descend And seated on his Throne; To which all nations must attend To shew what they have done. 3 Then shall the powers of heav'n shake, Vanish and flee away: And all the wicked fear and quake, To see that awful day. 4 How dreadful will his coming be, To those who slight his grace-- How joyful for the just to see: The glories of his face. 5 How suddenly will he appear, Here on this earth below; When none had judg'd his coming near, Or that it could be so. 6 As lightning starting from the east! And darts a sudden ray; And quickly flashing to the west! Such is the Saviour's Day. 7 Then let us be still on our guard, As Jesus gave command: That we may truly be prepar'd Before our Lord to stand.

To Mock Your Reign

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 15 hymnals First Line: To mock your reign, O dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord, they made a crown of thorns, set you with taunts along that road from which no one returns. They could not know, as we do now, how glorious is that crown, that thorns would flow'r upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own. 2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord, they snatched a purple cloak, your passion turned, for all they cared, into a soldier's joke. They could not know, as we do now, that though we merit blame, you will your robe of mercy throw around our naked shame. 3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord, they thrust into your hand, and acted out their grim charade to its appointed end. They could not know, as we do now, though empires rise and fall, your kingdom shall not cease to grow till love embraces all.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 846 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood red banner streams afar; Who follows in His train? 2 Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient, bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 3 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky, And call'd on Him to save. 4 Like Him, with pardon on his tongue, In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train. 5 A glorious band, the chosen few, On whom the spirit came: Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mock'd the cross and flame. 6 They met the tyrant's brandish'd steel, The lion's gory mane, They bow'd their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their train? 7 A noble army--men and boys, The matron and the maid; Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light array'd. 8 They climb'd the steep ascent to heaven Through peril, toil and pain; O God, to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Amen. Topics: Apostles and Saints; Festivals Used With Tune: LAMBETH
