O Gracious Hand That Freely Gives

Author: Arthur Tozer Russell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O gracious Hand that freely gives The fruit of earth our toil to bless! O Love, by which the sinner lives, O let our tongue that love confess! 2 Our God for all our need provides; His sun alike o'er all doth shine; From none His glorious beams He hides; So rich, so free, His love divine. 3 Again this love our garners fills; This love again let all adore; The cry of want this bounty stills, Who biddeth all His Name implore. 4 O may our lives through grace abound, In holy fruits, and Thee proclaim! Let all Thy courts with praises sound Thy gracious hand, Thy wondrous Name. 5 Lord, when Thou shalt descend from heaven, Thy ransomed harvest here to reap, May in that day Thy joy be given To those who now go forth and weep. Amen.

Author: John Julian Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God of God! O Light of light! Thou Prince of Peace, Thou King of kings, To Thee, where angels know no night, The song of praise forever rings: To Him who sits upon the throne, The Lamb once slain for sinful men, Be honor, might, all by Him won; Glory and praise! Amen, Amen! 2 Deep in the prophets' sacred page, Grand in the poets' winged word, Slowly in type, from age to age, Nations beheld their coming Lord; Till through the deep Judean night Rang out the song, "Good will to men!" Hymned by the first-born sons of light, Re-echoed now, "Good will!" Amen! 3 Nations afar, in ignorance deep; Isles of the sea where darkness lay; These hear Thy voice, they wake from sleep, And throng with joy the upward way. They cry with us, "Send forth Thy light, O Lamb, once slain for sinful men; Burst Satan's bonds, O God of might; Set all men free! Amen, Amen!" 4 Sing to the Lord a glorious song, Sing to His Name, His love forthtell; Sing on, heaven's host, His praise prolong; Sing, ye who now on earth do dwell: "Worthy the Lamb for sinners slain; From angels, praise; and thanks from men; Worthy the Lamb, enthroned to reign, Glory and power! Amen, Amen!" Amen.

Wake, Arise! a Voice Appalling

Author: Johann Olof Wallin; Philipp Nicolai Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wake, arise! a voice appalling In solemn majesty is calling To all the deeps of earth and sea. Wake, arise, ye dead unnumbered, That in your silent graves have slumbered, Released from toil and agony. God's voice is heard at last; The night of death is past, Day is dawning, The Lord's great day, That dreadful day, When judgment shall be passed for aye. 2 Earth and sea and sky shall tremble, The angels of the Lord assemble, When Christ in glory comes again. Mountains fall, and deeps are yawning When in eternity's dread dawning He comes to judge the sons of men. There shall be joy and tears, And hope shall blend with fears, But the faithful Shall enter bold The Shepherd's fold, And all receive their crowns of gold. 3 Christ, Thy coming all shall gladden Who in Thy footsteps here have trodden Upon Thy thorny path below. Palms for thorns shall then be given; And, waiting for the joys of heaven, Contented to my grave I go. The little while I sleep, Thy angels vigil keep, Till Thou comest My soul to wake And, for Thy sake, My spirit into bliss to take. Amen.
