On what has now been sown

Appears in 92 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On what has now been sown, Thy blessing, Lord, bestow; The pow'r is Thine alone To make it spring and grow: Do Thou the gracious harvest raise, And Thou alone shalt have the praise. 2 To Thee our wants are known, From Thee are all our powers, Accept what is Thine own, And pardon what is ours: Our praises, Lord, and prayers receive, And to Thy Word a blessing give. 3 O grant that each of us Who met before Thee here, May meet together thus When Thou and Thine appear, And follow Thee to heaven our home; E'en so, Amen, Lord Jesus, come!

Awake my soul, and with the sun

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 901 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise To pay Thy morning sacrifice. 2 All praise to Thee, who safe hast kept, And hast refreshed me while I slept: Grant, Lord, when I from death shall wake, I may of endless light partake! 3 Lord, I my vows to Thee renew; Disperse my sins as morning dew; Guard my first springs of thought and will, And with Thyself my spirit fill. 4 Direct, control, suggest, this day, All I design, or do, or say; That all my powers, with all their might, In Thy sole glory may unite. 5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him, above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Meter: 8.7.8.1 Appears in 202 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heavenly palace gate! Hark! the choirs of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heav'nly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He has gained the victory. He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled His foes. 3 While He raised His hands in blessing, He was parted from His friends, While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends; He who walked with God and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated To His everlasting home. 4 Now our heav'nly Aaron enters, With His blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before Him quail; Now He plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 5 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heav'nly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension, We by faith behold our own. Topics: Ascension

And let this feeble body fail

Appears in 351 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint or die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints And find its long-sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants, In my Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown I now the cross sustain, And gladly wander up and down, And smile at toil and pain: I suffer on my threescore years Till my Deliverer come, And wipe away His servant's tears, And take His exile home. 3 O what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravished eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright Who reap the pleasures there; They all are robed in spotless white, And conquering palms they bear. 4 O what are all my sufferings here, If, Lord, thou count me meet With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away, But let me find them all again In that eternal day. Topics: Cross and Comfort

To shepherds, as they watched by night

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To shepherds, as they watched by night, Appeared a troop of angels bright; Behold the tender babe, they said, In yonder lowly manger laid. 2 At Bethlehem, In David's town, As Micah did of old make known; 'Tis Jesus Christ, your Lord and King, Who doth to all salvation bring. 3 Rejoice ye, then, that through His Son God is with sinners now at one; Made like yourselves of flesh and blood, Your brother is th'eternal God. 4 What harm can sin and death then do? The true God now abides with you. Let hell and Satan rage and chafe, God is your brother--ye are safe. 5 Not one He will, nor can, forsake Who Him his confidence doth make; E'en if their worst your en'mies try, Ye may their pow'rless rage defy. 6 Ye must prevail at last, for ye have now become God's family; To God forever give ye praise, Patient and cheerful all your days.

An awful mystery is here

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 An awful mystery is here To challenge faith and waken fear; The Savior comes as food divine Concealed in earthly bread and wine. 2 This world is loveless--but above, What wondrous boundlessness of love! The King of glory stoops to me, My spirit’s life and strength to be. 3 In consecrated wine and bread No eye perceives the mystery dread, But Jesus’ words is strong and clear: "My body and my blood are here." 4 How dull are all the powers of sense, Employed on proofs of love immense! The richest food remains unseen, And highest gifts appear how mean! 5 But here we have no boon on earth, And faith alone discerns its worth; The Word, not sense, must be our guide, And faith assure, since sight’s denied. 6 Lord, show us still that Thou art good, And grant us evermore this food, Give faith to ev'ry wavering soul, And make each wounded spirit whole.

Awake, my soul, in joyful lays

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1,061 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, to joyful lays, And sing Thy great Redeemer’s praise, He justly claims a song from me-- His loving-kindness, O how free! 2 He saw me ruined in the fall, Yet loved me notwithstanding all, He saved me from my lost estate-- His loving-kindness, O how great! 3 When I was Satan's easy prey, And deep in debt and bondage lay, He paid His life for my discharge-- His loving-kindness, O how large! 4 Though numerous hosts of cruel foes, Though earth and hell my way oppose, He safely leads my soul along-- His loving-kindness, O how strong! 5 When trouble, like a gloomy cloud, Has gathered thick and thundered loud, He near my soul has always stood-- His loving-kindness, O how good! 6 When earthly friends forsake me quite, And I have neither skill nor might, He's sure my Helper to appear-- His loving-kindness, O how near! 7 Often I feel my sinful heart Prone from my Jesus to depart; But though I have Him oft forgot, His loving-kindness changes not. 8 When I shall pass death's gloomy vale, And all my mortal power must fail; O may my last expiring breath His loving-kindness sing in death! 9 Then shall I mount and soar away To the bright world of endless day; And sing, with rapture and surprise, His loving-kindness in the skies.

I would not live alway; I ask not to stay

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 702 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way: The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway; thus fettered by sin, Temptation without and corruption within: E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears. 3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb; Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom: There sweet be my rest till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Who, who would live alway, away from his God? Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where the rivers of pleasure flow o'er the bright plains, And the noontide of glory eternally reigns: 5 Where the saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Savior and brethren transported to greet, While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul?

Jerusalem the golden

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 922 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blest! Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed, I know not, O I know not What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare! 2 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The songs of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, Forever, and forever, Are clad in robes of white! 3 Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy Part: His only, His forever, Thou shalt be and thou art! Jesus, in mercy bring us Soon to that land of rest: Who art, with God the Father And Spirit ever blest! Topics: Heaven

In the cross of Christ I glory

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,538 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me: Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide.
