Now, My Soul, Thy Voice Upraising

Author: Claude de Santeüil Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now, my soul, thy voice upraising, Tell in sweet and mournful strain How the Crucified, enduring Grief, and wounds, and dying pain, Freely of His love was offered, Sinless, was for sinners slain. 2 Scourged with unrelenting fury For the sins which we deplore, By His livid stripes He heals us, Raising us to fall no more; All our bruises gently soothing, Binding up the bleeding sore. 3 See! His hands and feet are fastened; So He makes His people free; Not a wound whence blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be: Yea, the very nails which nail Him Nail us also to the tree. 4 Through His heart the spear is piercing, Though His foes have seen Him die; Blood and water thence are streaming In a tide of mystery; Water, from our guilt to cleanse us, Blood, to win us crowns on high. 5 Jesus, may those precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford: Let them be our present healing, And at length our great reward; So a ransomed world shall ever Praise Thee, its redeeming Lord. Amen.

Lord Jesus, on the Holy Mount

Author: John Anketell Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, on the holy mount We would abide with Thee, Still drinking from the blessed fount Of grace, so rich and free. 2 There prophets praise Thy glorious Name, And deeds which Thou hast done; And there the Father's words proclaim His own beloved Son. 3 The rays of Thy transfigured face Beam with such golden light That we would never leave the place, Nor lose the heavenly sight. 4 But there is work on earth to do, The suffering souls to heal; The harvest great, the laborers few Thy kingdom to reveal. 5 We may not linger on the mount, Where bright Thy glories shine; We may not taste the sacred fount Of blessedness divine. 6 But let some beams of heavenly light Make bright our earthly way; Then grant the beatific sight Of heaven the endless day. Amen.

Amen.

But far beyond the realms of sense My fervent prayer ascendeth: My prayer, unuttered, but a groan, Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne. 3 Then visions of the goodly land By faith my soul obtaineth; There I shall dwell for evermore Where Christ in glory reigneth, In mansions of that bright abode, The city of the living God. 4 In that blest city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure, there my heart, Safe in my Saviour’s keeping; In heaven, my blessèd Lord, with Thee, May all my conversation be. 5 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. that day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 6 And blessèd shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee, In joy and peace eternally.
