When Hagar Found the Bottle Spent

Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Hagar found the bottle spent, And wept o’er Ishmael, A message from the Lord was sent To guide her to a well. 2. Should not Elijah’s cake and cruse Convince us at this day, A gracious God will not refuse Provisions by the way? 3. His saints and servants shall be fed, The promise is secure; Bread shall be given them, He has said, Their water shall be sure. 4. Repasts far richer they shall prove Than all earth’s dainties are; ’Tis sweet to taste a Savior’s love, Though in the meanest fare. 5. To Jesus then your trouble bring, Nor murmur at your lot; While you art poor, and He is king, You shall not be forgot. Used With Tune: FAR AND NEAR (Spazier) Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 57

Bleak Winter Is Subdued At Length

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bleak winter is subdued at length, And forced to yield the day; The sun has wasted all his strength, And driven him away. 2 And now long wished for spring is come, How altered is the scene! The trees and shrubs are dressed in bloom, The earth arrayed in green. 3 Where’er we tread, beneath our feet The clustering flowers spring; The artless birds, in concert sweet, Invite our hearts to sing. 4 But ah! in vain I strive to join Oppressed with sin and doubt; I feel ’tis winter still, within, Tho’ all is spring without. 5 Oh! would my Savior from on high, Break thro’ these clouds and shine! No creature, then, more blest than I, No song more loud than mine. 6 Till then—no softly warbling thrush, Nor cowslip’s sweet perfume; Nor beauties of each painted bush, Can dissipate my gloom. 7 To Adam, soon as he transgressed, Thus Eden bloomed in vain; Not paradise could give him rest, Or soothe his heartfelt pain. 8 Yet here an emblem I perceive Of what the Lord can do; Dear Savior, help me to believe That I may flourish, too. 9 Thy word can soon my hopes revive, Can overcome my foes; And make my languid graces thrive, And blossom like the rose.

I Say to All Men Far and Near

Author: Friedrich von Hardenberg; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 52 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I say to all men far and near That He is risen again; That He is with us now and here, And ever shall remain. 2. And what I say, let each this morn, Go tell it to his friend, That soon in every place shall dawn His kingdom without end. 3. The fears of death and of the grave Are whelmed beneath the sea; And every heart now light and brave May face the things to be. 4. The way of darkness that He trod To heaven at last shall come, And he who hearkens to His Word Shall reach His Father’s home. 5. Now let the mourner grieve no more Though his belovèd sleep: A happier meeting shall restore Their light to eyes that weep. 6. He lives! His presence hath not ceased, Though foes and fears be rife; And thus we hail in Easter’s feast A world renewed to life! Used With Tune: FAR AND NEAR (Spazier) Text Sources: Lyra Germanica, 1858

Kéréseink Az Úr Előtt

Author: Andrew Kippis; Anna Piroska Williams Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Kéréseink az Úr előtt Sűrűn feltárjuk itt, De látjuk-e a sok nyomort, Félárvák könnyeit? 2 Ne várja balgán, könnyelműn Az ég áldásait, Ki látja társa nyomorát, De rá se hederít. 3 Megindul szívünk másokon, Vagy jéghideg marad? Segítségért ki könyörög, Szíve, keze mit ad? 4 A Mindenható joggal vár, Hogy utain járjunk, Mit Véle tennénk szívesen, Mással is úgy bánjunk. 5 Az Úr Jézus e földön járt, Mindenkit fogadott, Ha hittel bárki hozzá jött, Hiába az nem volt. 6 Csodát úgy tenni nem tudunk, Mint egykor Jézusunk, De példát hagyott minekünk, Szeressünk, mint Urunk. 7 De legfőbb dolgunk ez legyen: Vessük a jó magot, Tanítsuk, óvjuk, vezessük, Kit Isten ránk bízott. 8 És áldja Ő meg gazdagon, Mit másokért teszünk, Hogy dicsőítsék szent nevét, Dicsérjék Istenünk.

'Tis Nature's Voice Which Reason Speaks

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: ’Tis nature’s voice which reason speaks Lyrics: 1 ’Tis nature’s voice which reason speaks, Know, man, there is a God; That great first cause who made the world, And rules it by His nod. 2 The mighty truth unshaken stands, And scorns the atheist’s school; His boasted sense and wit but prove He is the learnèd fool. 3 Far as with backward steps we trace Great nature’s wondrous clue, We must at length stop at some cause Which no beginning knew. 4 This cause eternal we maintain, And this the God we name; Of all perfection full possessed, Invariably the same. 5 A God, the wiser nations own, Barbarians too consent; Convinced by nature’s wondrous frame, That mighty argument. 6 The God, the present God we see, Where’er we turn our eyes; In fairest lines His name is wrote On earth, and seas, and skies. 7 Almighty God! I Thee adore, Great author of my frame; Long as I live my tongue shall sing The glories of Thy name.
