The Lands that long in Darkness lay

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.XIII (1766) Lyrics: 1 The Lands that long in Darkness lay Now have beheld a Heav'nly Light; Nations that sat in Death's cold Shade, Are blest with Beams divinely bright. 2 The Virgin's promis'd Son is born; Behold th' expected Child appear: What shall his Names or Titles be? The Wonderful, The Counsellor. 3 This Infant is the mighty God, Come to be suckled and ador'd; Th' Eternal Father, Prince of Peace, The Son of David, and his Lord. 4 The Government of Earth and Seas Upon his Shoulders shall be laid; His wide Dominions still increase, And Honours to his Name be paid. 5 Jesus the holy Child shall sit High on his Father David's Throne, Shall crush his Foes beneath his Feet, And reign to Ages yet unknown.

Who shall the Lord's Elect condemn?

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.XIV (1766) Lyrics: 1 Who shall the Lord's Elect condemn? 'Tis God that justifies their Souls, And Mercy, like a mighty Stream, O'er all their Sins divinely rolls. 2 Who shall adjudge the Saints to Hell? 'Tis Christ that suffer'd in their Stead; And, the Salvation to fulfil Behold him rising from the Dead. 3 He lives! he lives! and sits above, For ever interceding there: Who shall divide us from his Love, Or what should tempt us to despair? 4 Shall Persecution, or Distress, Famine, or Sword, or Nakedness? He that hath lov'd us bears us through, And makes us more than Conqu'rors too. 5 Faith hath an overcoming Pow'r, It triumphs in the dying Hour: Christ is our Life, our Joy, our Hope, Nor can we sink with such a Prop. 6 Not all that Men on Earth can do, Nor Pow'rs on high, nor Pow'rs below, Shall cause his Mercy to remove, Or wean our Hearts from Christ our Love.

Let me but hear my Saviour say

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.XV (1766) Lyrics: 1 Let me but hear my Saviour say, Strength shall be equal to thy Day; Then I rejoice in deep Distress, Leaning on all-sufficient Grace. 2 I glory in Infirmity, That Christ's own Pow'r may rest on me; When I am weak, then am I strong, Grace is my Shield, and Christ my Song. 3 I can do all Things, or can bear All Suff'rings, if my Lord be there; Sweet Pleasures mingle with the Pains While his Left-Hand my Head sustains. 4 But if the Lord be once withdrawn, And we attempt the Work alone; When new Temptations spring and rise, We find how great our Weakness is. 5 So Sampson, when his Hair was lost, Met the Philistines to his Cost; Shook his vain Limbs with sad Surprize, Made feeble Fight, and lost his Eyes.

Hosanna to the Royal Son

O for an over-coming Faith

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.XVII (1766) Lyrics: 1 O for an over-coming Faith To chear my dying Hours, To Triumph o'er the Monster Death, And all his frightful Pow'rs. 2 Joyful, with all the Strength I have, My quiv'ring Lips should sing, Where is thy boasted Vict'ry Grave? And where the Monster's Sting? 3 If Sin be pardon'd, I'm secure, Death hath no Sting besides; The Law gives Sin its damning Pow'r; But Christ, my Ransom, dy'd. 4 Now to the God of Victory Immortal Thanks be paid, Who makes us Conqu'rors while we die, Through Christ our living Head.

Lord, at thy Temple we appear

[5 Jesus, the Vision of thy Face, Hath over-pow'ring Charms; Scarce shall I feel Death's cold Embrace, If Christ be in my Arms. 6 Then while ye hear my Heart-strings break, How sweet my Minutes roll! A mortal Paleness on my Cheek, And Glory in my Soul.] Topics: Christ His Human and Divine Nature; Death desirable; Presence in Death; Simeon's Song Scripture: Luke 2:27-32 Languages: English

Awake my Heart, arise my Tongue

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.XX (1766) Lyrics: 1 Awake my Heart, arise my Tongue, Prepare a tuneful Voice; In God the Life of all my Joys Aloud will I rejoice. 2 'Tis he adorn'd my naked Soul, And made Salvation mine; Upon a poor polluted Worm He makes his Graces shine. 3 And lest the Shadow of a Spot Should on my Soul be found, He took the Robe the Saviour wrought, And cast it all around. 4 How far the heav'nly Robe exceeds What earthly Princes wear! These Ornaments, how bright they shine! How white the Garments are! 5 The Spirit wrought my Faith and Love, And Hope, and ev'ry Grace, But Jesus spent his Life to work The Robe of Righteousness. 6 Strangely, my Soul, art thou array'd By the great Sacred Three; In sweetest Harmony of Praise Let all thy Pow'rs agree.

Lo, what a glorious Sight appears

Fly swifter round, ye Wheels of Time, And bring the welcome Day.

In vain the wealthy Mortals toil

Hymnal: PDIL1766 #I.XXIV (1766) Lyrics: 1 In vain the wealthy Mortals toil, And heap their shining Dust in vain, Look down and scorn the humble Poor, And boast their lofty Hills of Gain. 2 Their golden Cordials cannot ease Their pained Hearts or aching Heads, Nor fright, nor bribe approaching Death From glitt'ring Roofs and downy Beds. 3 The ling'ring, the unwilling Soul, The dismal Summons must obey, And bid a long, a sad Farewel, To the pale Lump of lifeless Clay. 4 Thence they are huddled to the Grave, Where Kings and Slaves have equal Thrones; Their Bones without Distinction lie Amongst the Heap of meaner Bones.
