The Promise Of My Father's Love
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4476 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The promise of My Father’s love Lyrics: 1 "The promise of My Father’s love
Shall stand for ever good,"
He said, and gave His soul to death,
And sealed the grace with blood.
2 To this dear covenant of Thy Word
I set my worthless name;
I seal th’engagement to my Lord,
And make my humble claim.
3 The light, and strength, and pardoning grace,
And glory shall be mine;
My life and soul, my heart and flesh,
And all my powers are Thine.
4 I call that legacy my own
Which Jesus did bequeath;
’Twas purchased with a dying groan,
And ratified in death.
5 Sweet is the memory of His name,
Who blessed us in His will,
And to His testament of love
Made His own life the seal. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
The Promise Of My Father's Love
Let Earth And Hell Their Powers Employ
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4485 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let earth and hell their powers employ,
A sure defense we have:
They are not nearer to destroy
Than Jesus is to save.
2 And if it serve Thy glory, Thou
Shalt pluck us from the flame,
Our God in ages past, and now,
And evermore the same. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5130 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: O Lord, almighty God, Thy works Lyrics: 1. O Lord, almighty God, Thy works
Both great and wondrous be!
Just, King of saints, and true Thy ways;

For judgments Thine are known! Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
O Lord, Almighty God
O Zion, When Thy Savior Came
Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5552 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Zion, when thy Savior came
In grace and love to thee,
No beauty in thy royal Lord
Thy faithless eye could see.
2. Yet, onward in His path of grace,
The holy sufferer went,
To feel, at last, that love on thee
Had all in vain been spent.
3. Yet not in vain; o’er Israel’s land
The glory yet will shine;
And He, thy once rejected King,
Messiah, shall be thine.
4. When thou, beneath the peaceful reign
Of Jesus and His bride,
Shalt sound His grace and glory forth
To all the earth beside.
5. The nations to thy glorious light,
O Zion! yet shall throng;
And all the listening islands wait
To catch the joyful song.
6. The name of Jesus yet shall ring
Through earth and Heaven above,
And all His ransomed people know
The Sabbath of His love. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
O Zion, When Thy Savior Came
Pray That Jerusalem May Have

Have still prosperity.
2. Therefore I wish that peace may still
Within thy walls remain,
And ever may thy palaces
Prosperity retain.
3. Now, for my friends and brethren’s sake,
Peace be in thee, I’ll say;
And for the house of God our Lord
I’ll seek thy good alway. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK

Vain Are the Hopes That Rebels Place
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7052 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Vain are the hopes that rebels place
Upon their birth and blood,
Descended from a pious race;
Their fathers now with God.
2. He from the caves of earth and hell
Can take the hardest stones
And fill the house of Abra’m well
With new-created sons.
3. Such wondrous power doth He possess
Who formed our mortal frame,
Who called the world from emptiness,
The world obeyed and came. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
Vain Are the Hopes That Rebels Place
The Many Are Not Always Right
Author: Julius Brigg Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8475 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The many are not always right,
The few not always wrong;
Weak oft are those who boast their might,
But truth is always strong.
2 O, let me have a holy name,
E’en though alone I be!
Vain is the charm of earthly fame,
And sin’s short victory.
3 I’d rather with Elijah stand,
Alone on Carmel’s crest,
Than own allegiance to the band
Whose shame was there confessed.
4 I’d rather have a Daniel’s crown
Of fearless fortitude,
Than basely lay my manhood down
With craven multitude.
5 I’d rather be the one true heart,
Strong in a purpose high,
Than cowardly from Christ depart,
With recreant hosts to die.
6 Whate’er befall, to me a place
Be with the victors giv’n,
Where faithful ones behold His face,
Amidst the bliss of Heav’n! Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
The Many Are Not Always Right
When Jesus, By The Virgin Brought
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9226 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus, by the Virgin brought,
So runs the law of Heav’n,
Was offered holy to the Lord,
And at the altar given;
2 Simeon the Just and the Devout,
Who, frequent in the fane,
Had for the Savior waited long,
But waited still in vain,
3 Came, Heav’n directed, at the hour
When Mary held her Son;
He stretchèd forth his agèd arms,
While tears of gladness run:
4 With holy joy upon his face
The good old father smiled,
While fondly in his withered arms
He clasped the promised Child.
5 And then he lifted up to Heav’n
An earnest asking eye;
"My joy is full, my hour is come,
Lord, let Thy servant die!
6 "At last my arms embrace my Lord,
Now let their vigor cease;
At last my eyes my Savior see,
Now let them close in peace!
7 "The star and glory of the land
Hath now begun to shine;
The morning that shall gild the globe
Breaks on these eyes of mine!" Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
When Jesus, By The Virgin Brought
This Present Evil World
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9243 First Line: The stream was deeper than I thought Lyrics: 1 The stream was deeper than I thought,
When first I ventured near;
I stood upon its sloping edge
Without a rising fear.
2 It woke in ripples at my feet,
As breezes quick swept by,
And caught the sunlight on its face,
Like blossoms from the sky.
3 It sang its quiet May-day song
To its old summer tune;
And weeping willow boughs above
Shook to the glowing noon.
4 It seemed to stop, then eddied on;
It smiled up to the day;
It deepened, then spread out its waves,
And stole in light away.
5 O streams of earthly love and joy,
On whose green banks we dwell,
Ye gleam in beauty to the eye,
And promise fair and well!
6 Ye charm the sunbeams from the air,
The fragrance from the flowers,
The blossoms from the budding tree,
The wealth of summer hours.
7 Ye bid us come and take them all
From your enchanted blue;
Ye tell us but to stoop and taste
The joy, and scent, and hue.
8 Ye lure us, and we venture in,
Cheated by sun and smiles;
Ye tempt us, and we brave your depths,
Won by your winning wiles.
9 Too deep and strong for us! We glide
Down your deceiving wave;
Like men by siren song beguiled
On to a siren grave.
10 O world, with all thy smiles and loves,
With all thy song and wine,
What mockery of human hearts,
What treachery is thine!
11 Thou woundest, but thou cannot heal,
Thy words are warbled lies;
Thy hand contains the poison cup,
And he who drinks it dies.
12 O world, there’s fever in thy touch,
And frenzy in thine eye;
To lose and shun thee is to live,
To win thee is to die! Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
This Present Evil World
This World Is All Enchanted Ground
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9817 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 This world is all enchanted ground,
O whither shall I fly?
The vengeful flames are kindling round,
And if I stop, I die.
2 When some kind hand has brought me forth,
How lingering is my pace!
Lord, either drive me by Thy wrath,
Or draw me by Thy grace.
3 O let me not a moment waste,
On this destructive plain;
Hence let me flee with greater haste,
Till I the Zoar gain. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
