Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old

Author: Edward Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 179 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old Was strong to heal and save; It triumphed o'er disease and death, O'er darkness and the grave; To thee they went, the blind, the dumb, The palsied and the lame, The leper with his tainted life, The sick with fevered frame. 2 And lo! thy touch brought life and health, Gave speech, and strength, and sight; And youth renewed and frenzy calmed Owned thee the Lord of light; And now, O Lord, be near to bless, Almighty as of yore, In crowded street, by restless couch, As by Gennesareth's shore. 3 Be thou our great deliverer still, Thou Lord of life and death; Restore and quicken, soothe and bless With thine almighty breath; To hands that work, and eyes that see, Give wisdom's heavenly lore, That whole and sick, and weak and strong, May praise thee evermore.

Lo, What a Glorious Sight Appeared

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 293 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appeared before admiring eyes: the former things all passed away, the former earth and skies. From heav’n the new Jerus'lem came, for Christ, as bride prepared. A voice resounding from the throne these wondrous things declared: 2 "Now God has come to dwell with men, and moved his blest abode. His people they shall be at last, and he shall be their God. His gracious hand shall wipe the tears from ev'ry weeping eye, for pain and grief shall be no more, and death itself shall die." 3 The One who sat upon the throne said, "I make all things new! Write down the words that you have heard, for they are firm and true. It is all done, and by my pow'r is paradise restored. I am the First, and I the Last, the one eternal Lord. 4 "Come, all who thirst! To you I will my healing water give. Drink from my fountain without price and so forever live. Blest is the man who, conquering, his heritage has won, for I will be his faithful God and he shall be my son. 5 "As for the vile and faithless ones, those who my will defy are thrown into the burning lake, and death itself shall die." We, too, shall stand before the throne; then shall our names be found recorded in the Book of Life. How shall our joy abound!

Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord!

Author: Thomas Raffles Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 113 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thou art my Hiding-place, O Lord! On Thee I fix my trust, Encouraged by Thy holy Word, A feeble child of dust. I have no argument beside, I urge no other plea; And 'tis enough my Saviour died, My Saviour died for me. 2 When storms of fierce temptation beat, And furious foes assail, My refuge is the mercy-seat, My hope within the veil. From strife of tongues and bitter words My spirit flies to Thee: Joy to my heart the thought affords, My Saviour died for me. 3 'Mid trials heavy to be borne, When mortal strength is vain, A heart with grief and anguish torn, A body racked with pain: Ah, what could give the sufferer rest, Bid every murmur flee, But this, the witness in my breast That Jesus died for me? 4 And when Thy awful voice commands This body to decay, And life, in its last lingering sands, Is ebbing fast away, Then, though it be in accents weak, And faint and tremblingly, O give me strength in death to speak, "My Saviour died for me."
