Awake, and sing the song

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 689 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, and sing the song Of Moses and the Lamb; Wake ev'ry heart and ev'ry tongue, To praise the Saviour's name. 2 Sing of His dying love; Sing of His rising power; Sing how He intercedes above, For us whose sins He bore. 3 Sing, till we feel our heart Ascending with our tongue; Sing, till the love of sin depart, And grace inspires our song. 4 Sing on your heavenly way, Ye ransom'd sinners, sing; Sing on, rejoicing ev'ry day In Christ, th'eternal King. 5 Soon shall we hear Him say, "Ye blessed children, come!" Soon will He call us hence away To our eternal home. 6 There shall our raptured tongue His endless praise proclaim, And sweeter voices tune the song Of Moses and the Lamb.

No price is demanded, the Saviour is here, Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is open'd, how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not; O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not; the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night.

When, marshall'd on the nightly plain

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 483 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, marshall'd on the nightly plain, The glitt'ring hosts bestud the sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner’s wand'ring eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks, From ev'ry host, from ev'ry gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks, It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud--the night was dark, The ocean yawn'd--and rudely blow'd The wind that toss'd my found'ring bark. 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem; When suddenly a star arose-- It was the Star of Bethlehem. 5 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bade my dark forebodings cease; And through the storm and danger’s thrall, It led me to the port of peace. 6 Now safely moor'd--my perils o’er, I’ll sing, first in night’s diadem, Forever, and forevermore, The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!

Behold th' amazing sight

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold th'amazing sight, The Saviour lifted high! Behold the Son of God's delight Expire in agony? 2 For whom, for whom, my heart, Were all these sorrows borne! Why did He feel that piercing smart, And meet that various scorn? 3 For love of us He bled, And all in torture died; 'Twas love that bow'd His fainting head, And oped His gushing side. 4 In sympathy of love Let all the earth combine; And, drawn by cords so gentle, prove The energy divine. 5 In Him our hearts unite, Nor share His griefs alone, But from His cross pursue their flight To His triumphant throne.
