Hark! the song of jubilee

Appears in 447 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the song of jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar; Or the fulness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore. Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent shall reign; Hallelujah! let the word Echo round the earth and main. 2 Hallelujah! hark! the sound, From the centre to the skies. Wakes above, beneath, around, All creation's harmonies: See Jehovah's banner furl'd; Sheathed His sword; He speaks,--'tis done; And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of His Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole With illimitable sway; He shall reign, when, like a scroll, Yonder heavens have pass'd away; Then the end; beneath His rod Man's last enemy shall fall: Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ is all in all.

Have mercy, Lord, on me

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 123 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord, on me, As Thou wert ever kind; Let me, oppress'd with loads of guilt, Thy wonted mercy find. 2 Wash off my foul offence, And cleanse me from my sin; For I confess my crime, and see How great my guilt has been. 3 Against Thee, Lord, alone, And only in Thy sight, Have I transgressed; and, though condemn'd Must own Thy judgment right. 4 Blot out my crying sins, Nor me in anger view; Create in me a heart that's clean, An upright mind renew. 5 Withdraw not Thou Thy help, Nor cast me from Thy sight; Nor let Thy Holy Spirit take His everlasting flight. 6 The joy Thy favour gives Let me, O Lord, regain; And Thy free Spirit's firm support My fainting soul sustain.

He that has God his guardian made

Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He that has God his guardian made Shall under the Almighty's shade Secure and undisturb'd abide: Thus to my soul of Him I'll say, He is my fortress and my stay, My God, in Whom I will confide. 2 His tender love and watchful care Shall free thee from the fowler's snare, And from the noisome pestilence; He over thee His wings shall spread, And cover thy unguarded head; His truth shall be thy strong defence. 3 Because, with well-placed confidence, Thou mak'st the Lord thy sure defence, thy refuge, even god most high; Therefore no ill on thee shall come, Nor to thy heaven-protected home Shall overwhelming plagues draw nigh.

Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad: Let every nation now behold Their Saviour and their God!

How will my heart endure

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day, When earth and heaven before His face Astonish'd shrink away? 2 But ere the trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark! from the Gospel's cheering sound What joyful tidings spread. 3 Ye sinners, seek His grace, Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His Cross, And find salvation there. 4 So shall that curse remove, By which the Saviour bled; And the last awful day shall pour His blessings on your head.

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 our 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 fetter'd by sin, Temptation without, and corruption within: E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, And the cup of salvation 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 Saviour and brethren, transported, to greet: While the anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And the smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul.

In mercy, not in wrath

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In mercy, not in wrath, Rebuke me, gracious God! Lest, if Thy whole displeasure rise, I sink beneath Thy rod. 2 Touch'd by Thy quickening power, My load of guilt I feel; The wounds Thy Spirit hath unclosed, Oh, let that Spirit heal. 3 In trouble and in gloom, Must I for ever mourn? And wilt Thou not at length, O God, In pitying love return? 4 O come, ere life expire, Send down Thy power to save; For who shall sing Thy Name in death, Or praise Thee in the grave? 5 Why should I doubt Thy grace, Or yield to dread despair? Thou wilt fulfil Thy promised word, And grant me all my prayer. Topics: Ash Wednesday and Lent

Inspirer and hearer of prayer

Appears in 183 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Inspirer and hearer of prayer, Thou Shepherd and Guardian of Thine, My all to Thy covenant care, I, sleeping or waking, resign. 2 If Thou art my shield and my sun, The night is no darkness to me; And, fast as my minutes roll on, They bring me but nearer to Thee. 3 Thy ministering spirits descend To watch while Thy saints are asleep; By day and by night they attend The heirs of salvation to keep. 4 Thy worship no interval knows, Their fervour is still on the wing; And, while they protect my repose, They chant to the praise of my King. 5 I too, at the season ordain'd, Their chorus for ever shall join; And love, and adore, without end, Their faithful Creator, and mine.
