Glory to Thee, O Lord

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory to Thee, O Lord, Who, from this world of sin, By cruel Herod's ruthless sword Those precious ones didst win. 2 Glory to Thee for all The ransom'd infant band, Who since that hour have heard Thy call, And reached the quiet land. 3 O that our hearts within, Like theirs, were pure and bright; O that, as free from deeds of sin We shrank not from Thy sight. 4 Lord, help us every hour Thy cleansing grace to claim; In life to glorify Thy power, In death to praise Thy Name.

Go to dark Gethsemane

Appears in 512 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power; Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour: Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment-hall; View the Lord of Life arraign'd; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustain'd! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark that miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete; "It is finish'd!" hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die.

God is our Refuge in distress

Appears in 70 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is our Refuge in distress, A present help when dangers press; In Him, undaunted, we'll confide, Though earth were from her centre tost, And mountains in the ocean lost, Torn piecemeal by the roaring tide. 2 A gentler stream with gladness still The city of our Lord shall fill, The royal seat of God most high; God dwells in Sion, whose fair towers Shall mock th' assaults of earthly powers, While His Almighty aid is nigh. 3 Submit to God's Almighty sway, For Him the heathen shall obey, And earth her sovereign Lord confess: The God of hosts conducts our arms, Our tower of refuge in alarms, As to our fathers in distress.

God moves in a mysterious way

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,143 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform: He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines, Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take; The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour: The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan His work in vain; God is His own Interpreter, And He will make it plain.

Great God, this sacred day of Thine

Great God, what do I see and hear!

Appears in 299 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear, On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet Him! 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding: No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners, fill'd with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling, they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear, On clouds of glory seated. Low at His Cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Him.

Hail the day that sees Him rise

Appears in 555 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees Him rise, Revish'd from our wishful eyes; Christ, awhile to mortals given, Reascends His native heaven. 2 There for Him high triumph waits; Lift your heads, eternal gates; Wide unfold the radiant scene, Take the King of Glory in. 3 Him though highest heaven receives, Still He loves the earth He leaves: Though returning to His throne, Still He calls mankind His own. 4 See, He lifts His hands above; See, He shows the prints of love; Hark, His gracious lips bestow -- Blessings on His Church below. 5 Still for us His death He pleads; Prevalent, He intercedes; Near Himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 6 Lord, though parted from our sight High above yon azure height, Grant our hearts may thither rise, Seeking Thee beyond the skies.

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Appears in 853 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed, Great David's greater Son! Hail in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, To set the captive free; To take away transgression, And rule in equity. 2 He comes with succour speedy To those who suffer wrong, To help the poor and needy, And bid the weak be strong; To give them songs for sighing, Their darkness turn to light, Whose souls, condemn'd and dying, Were precious in His sight. 3 He shall come down like showers Upon the fruitful earth; And love and joy, like flowers, Spring in His path to birth: Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace, the herald, go; And righteousness, in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 To Him shall prayer unceasing, And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end: The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His Name shall stand for ever, That Name to us is Love.
