Resurrection of the Saints

Appears in 376 hymnals First Line: And must this body die Lyrics: 1 And must this Body die? This Mortal Frame decay? And must these active Limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the Clay? God my Redeemer lives, And often from the Skies Looks down, and watches all my Dust, 'Till he shall bid it rise. 2 Array'd in glorious Grace Shall these vile Bodies shine, And ev'ry Shape and ev'ry Face, Look heav'nly and divine. These lively Hopes we owe To Jesus's dying Love; We would adore thy Grace below, And sing thy Pow'r above. 3 Dear Lord, accept the Praise Of these our humble Songs, 'Till Tunes of nobler Sound we raise With our immortal Tongues.

As by the streams of babylon

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As by the streams of babylon We captives sat with anxious fears; Then we dear Zion thought upon, And melted into streams of tears. 2 Our harps, our instruments of joy, Which us'd with chearful songs to sound, We hung upon the willow trees Which on the shaded banks abound. 3 Because our foes, who all conspir'd To triumph in our slavish wrongs; Musick and mirth of us requir'd; 'Come sing us one of Zion's songs.' 4 But, ah! how cou'd we guide our hands To play, with hearts so full of woes Sing Zion's songs in heathen lands, JEHOVAH's hymns to chear his foes? 5 O dear Jerusalem! if I Ever of thee forgetful grow; Let me the skill of my right hand For ever wholly cease to know. 6 Let my tongue to my palate cleave, If thee remember should not I, Or don't prefer Jerusalem, Above my highest earthly joy, 7 LORD, Thou remembrest Edom's son, Who on Jerulalem's sad day, 'To the foundation raze her! cry'd; 'Raze, raze her!' out aloud cry'd they. 8 O Babel's daughter! doom'd to fall! That conqueror shall blessed be, Who, just as thou hast done to us, Will do in righteousness to thee! 9 Yea, he shall blessed be by heav'n, Who shall by heav'n employed be, Upon the stones to dash thy face, And end thy cruel progeny. Scripture: Psalm 137

Why do the nations move and rage

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why do the nations move and rage, And people form a vain design? 2 Kings of the earth do set themselves And princes in deep plots combine, With one consent against the LORD, And his MESSIAH, and dare say, 3 "Let us asunder break their bands, "And cast their cords of rule away?" 4 But He who sits in heav'n will laugh, The Lord at first will them deride; 5 In anger then to them He'll speak, In wrath to vex them in their pride; 6 "See I have set my king upon "Zion my mount of sanctity, 7 "And the immutable decree "Proclaim abroad to all will I." 8 The LORD to me said, "Thou my SON, "This day have I begotten thee; "Ask, and the nations I will give "For thine inheritance to be: 9 "And of the earth Thou shalt possess "The utmost coasts and lands abroad; "The foes shalt break as potters ware, "And crush as with an iron rod." 10 Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; Be learn'd, ye who earth's judges are; 11 Serve ye the LORD with reverence; Rejoyce, but yet with trembling fear: 12 Kiss he the SON, lest He be wroth, And ye should perish in your way; When once his wrath a little burns, Blessed are all that on him stay. Scripture: Psalm 2

O blessed man who walks not in

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Blessed man who walks not in The counsel of ungodly men, Nor stands within the sinners way, Nor will the scoffers seat sit in. 2 But In JEHOVAH's written law He takes exceeding great delight; And in his law he meditates With pious pleasure day and night. 3 For he is like a goodly tree By streams of waters planted near Which in due season yields its fruit, Whose leaf shall ever green appear; And all he does shall prosper still. 4 But the ungodly are not so: For they are like the chaff which by The wind is driven to and fro. 5 Therefore in judgment shall not stand Such as ungodly are, as clear; Nor in th' assembly of the just Shall sinners in that day appear. 6 Because the way of righteous men The LORD with approbation knows; Whereas the way of evil men To their entire destruction goes. Scripture: Psalm 1

I am into my garden come

Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: Christ: 1 I am into my garden come, my sister, and my spouse: I gather'd have my myrrh and spice for our delightful use: My honey-comb with honey eat, my wine and milk drank I; Eat O ye friends, drink O belov'd, yea drink abundantly. The Church; 2 I sleep; but yet my heart awakes: the voice 'tis of my Love, Who knocks and kindly calls to me, with all my bowels move; Christ: 'Open to Me, my sister, Love, 'my dove, my undefil'd; 'My heard with dew, my locks with drops 'the night distills, is fill'd! The Church: 3 My coat I have put off; how shall I put it on again? And I my feet have washed clean; how shall I them distain? 4 But when I my Beloved's hand upon the latch discern'd; Griev'd that I should so long delay, my bowels stronger yearn'd. 5 I rose to open to my Love: my hands myrrh dropped down; And on the handles of the lock myrrh from my fingers run. 6 But when the door I open'd wide to my Beloved one; My Love had then withdrawn Himself, and out of sight was gone! When as He spake, my soul did fail; and now I sought Him have, But found Him not; I call'd to Him, yet He no answer gave! 7 The city watchmen met me then, they smote and wounded me, The keepers of the wall ev'n took from me my veil away. 8 O daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you, to Him say, If my Belov'd ye find, that I for love shall faint away. Daughters of Jerusalem: 9 O fairest thou of all the fair! what's thy Beloved, show: What more than others is thy Love, that thou dost charge us so? The Church: 10 My Love is white and ruddy, chief above ten thousands fair: 11 His head is finest gold; his locks curl'd black as ravens are! 12 His eyes are like the eyes of doves looking on water-streams; As if they washed were with milk, and fitly set as gems! 13 His cheeks like garden-beds of spice, with flowers of spice crown'd: His lips like lillies, dropping myrrh, diffusing odours round! 14 His hands adorn'd with rings of gold, with precious stones inlaid: His bowels like bright ivory, with sapphires overspread! 15 His legs like marble pillars stand on golden sockets plac'd; His countenance like Lebanon, with stately cedars grac'd. 16 His mouth is all of sweetness made! He's perfect loveliness! O daughters of Jerusalem! my Love and Friend is this? Scripture: Song of Solomon 5

A Song of Degrees

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: David, and all his troubles, Lord Lyrics: 1 David, and all his troubles, LORD, O do Thou kindly think upon: 2 How to the LORD he sware, and how He vow'd to Jacob's mighty one; 3 Into my tent I will not go, Nor to my bed for sweet repose; 4 No sleep will to mine eyes afford, Nor slumber shall my eye-lids close; 5 Until I for the LORD have found And for his ark a dwelling place; For Him who is the mighty One, Of Jacob, and his favour'd race. 6 Behold at Ephrata we heard The place of its retir'd abode; And search'd till it we found with joy, In a dark field enclos'd with wood. 7 We'll go into his sacred tents Our worship at his footstool pay. 8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest, And with thine ark of strength there stay. 9 Let righteousness thy priests adorn, Thy saints with shouts their joy display: 10 And for thy servant David's sake Turn thy MESSIAH not away. [2 Part] 11 The LORD to David sware in truth; The oath he never will disown; "I one descended from thy loins "Will surely set upon thy throne: 12 "And if my covenant and law "That to thy children teach shall I, "They always keep, then shall their race "Sit on thy throne perpetually. 13 "Because the LORD hath Zion chose, "And there desir'd to have his seat; 14 "This is my rest for ever; here "I'll dwell, for I desired it; 15 "I'll here provision greatly bless "And satisfy her poor with food: 16 "Her priests with my salvation cloath, "Her saints with joy shall shout aloud. 17 "There David's horn I'll make to spring "There my MESSIAH'S lamp ordain: 18 "With sham I'll cloath his foes: on Him "His crown shall flourish and remain. Scripture: Psalm 132

The Deity and Humanity of CHRIST

Appears in 98 hymnals First Line: E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad Lyrics: 1 E'er the blue Heav'ns were stretch'd abroad, From Everlasting was the Word; With God He was; the Word was God, And must divinely be ador'd. By His own Pow'r were all Things made, By Him supported all Things stand; He is the whole Creation's Head, And Angels fly at his Command. 2 E'er Sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the Host of Morning Stars; (Thy Generation who can tell, Or count the Number of thy Years?) But lo, He leaves those heavenly Forms The Word descends and dwells in Clay, That He may hold converse with Worms, Dress'd in such feeble Flesh as they. 3 Mortals with Joy beheld his Face, Th' Eternal Father's only Son; How full of Truth! how full of Grace! When thro' his Eyes the God-head shone! Arch-Angels leave their high Abode, To learn new Myst'ries here and tell The Loves of our descending God, The Glories of Emanuel.

The Offices of the HOLY SPIRIT

Appears in 248 hymnals First Line: Eternal Spirit! we confess Lyrics: 1 Eternal Spirit! we confess And sing the Wonders of thy Grace; Thy Pow'r conveys our Blessings down From God the Father and the Son. Inlighten'd by thine heav'nly Ray, Our Shades and Darkness turn to Day; Thine inward Teachings make us know Our Danger, and our Refuge too. 2 Thy Pow'r and glory work within, And break the Chains of reigning Sin; Do our imperious Lusts subdue, And form our wretched Hearts anew. The troubled Conscience knows thy Voice, Thy cheering Words awake our Joys, Thy Words allay the stormy Wind, And calm the Surges of the Mind.

The humble Worship of Heaven

Appears in 100 hymnals First Line: Father, I long, I faint to see Lyrics: 1 Father, I long, I faint to see The Place of thine Abode; I'd leave thine earthly Courts, and flee Up to thy Seat my God! Here I behold thy distant Face, And 'tis a pleasing Sight; But to abide in thine Embrace Is Infinite Delight. 2 I'd part with all the Joys of Sense To gaze upon thy Throne; Pleasure springs fresh for ever thence, Unspeakable, Unknown. There all the heav'nly Hosts are seen, In shining Ranks they move, And drink immortal Vigour in With Wonder, and with Love. 3 Then at thy feet with awful fear Th' adoring Armies fall; With Joy they shrink to NOTHING there, Before th' Eternal ALL. There I would vie with all the Host In duty and in Bliss; While LESS THAN NOTHING I could boast, And VANITY confess. 4 The more thy glories strike mine eyes The humbler I shall lie; Thus while I sink, my joys shall rise Unmeasurably high.
