Welcome, delightful morn

Appears in 474 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Welcome, delightful morn, Thou day of sacred rest; I hail thy kind return; Lord, make these moments blest: From the low train of mortal toys, I soar to reach immortal joys. 2. Now may the King descend, and fill His throne of grace: Thy sceptre, Lord, extend, While saints address Thy face; Let sinners feel Thy quickening word, And learn to know and fear the Lord. 3. Descend, celestial Dove, With all Thy quickening powers; Disclose a Saviour's love, And bless these sacred hours; Then shall my soul new life obtain, Nor Sabbath's ere be spent in vain. Amen.

O Lord, I would delight in Thee

Author: Rev. John Ryland Appears in 243 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, I would delight in Thee, And on Thy care depend; To Thee in every trouble flee. My best, my only Friend. 2 When all created streams are dried, Thy fulness is the same; May I with this be satisfied, And glory in Thy Name. 3 No good in creatures can be found, But may be found in Thee; I must have all things, and abound, While God is God to me. 4 O that I had a stronger faith, To look within the veil! To credit what my Saviour saith, Whose word can never fail! 5 He that has made my heaven secure, Will here all good provide; While Christ is rich, can I be poor? What can I want beside? 6 O Lord, I cast my care on Thee; I triumph and adore: Henceforth my great concern shall be To love and please Thee more. Amen.

The God of Abraham praise

Author: Rev. Thomas Olivers Appears in 456 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The God of Abraham praise, Who reigns enthroned above; Ancient of everlasting days, And God of love; Jehovah! great I AM! By earth and heaven confessed; I bow and bless the sacred Name, For ever blest. 2 The God of Abraham praise, At whose supreme command From earth I rise, and seek the joys At His right hand: I all on earth forsake, Its wisdom, fame, and power; And Him my only portion make, My Shield and Tower. 3 He by Himself hath sworn, I on His oath depend; I shall, on angel-wings upborne, To heaven ascend: I shall behold his face, I shall his power adore, And sing the wonders of his grace For evermore. 4 There dwells the Lord our King, The Lord our Righteousness, Triumphant o'er the world and sin, The Prince of Peace; On Zion's sacred height His kingdom still maintains, And, glorious with His saints in light, For ever reigns. 5 The God who reigns on high The great archangels sing; And, "Holy, Holy, Holy," cry, "Almighty King! Who was, and is, the same, And evermore shall be; Jehovah, Father, Great I AM! We worship Thee." 6 The whole triumphant host Give thanks to God on high; "Hail, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!" They ever cry: Hail, Abraham's God and mine! I join the heavenly lays; All might and majesty are Thine, And endless praise. Amen.

We have not known Thee as we ought

Author: Rev. Thomas B. Pollock Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We have not known Thee as we ought, Nor learned Thy wisdom, grace, and power; The things of earth have filled our thought, And trifles of the passing hour. Lord, give us light Thy truth to see, And make us wise in knowing Thee. 2 We have not feared Thee as we ought, Nor bowed beneath Thine awful eye, Nor guarded deed, and word, and thought, Remembering that God was nigh. Lord, give us faith to know Thee near, And grant the grace of holy fear. 3 We have not loved Thee as we ought, Nor cared that we are loved by Thee; Thy presence we have coldly sought, And feebly longed Thy face to see. Lord, give a pure and loving heart To feel and own the love Thou art. 4 We have not served Thee as we ought; Alas! the duties left undone, The work with little fervor wrought, The battles lost, or scarcely won! Lord, give the zeal, and give the might, For Thee to toil, for thee to fight. 5 When shall we know Thee as we ought, And fear, and love, and serve aright! When shall we, out of trial brought, Be perfect in the land of light! Lord, may we day by day prepare To see Thy face, and serve Thee there. Amen.

We sing His love, who once was slain

Author: Rowland Hill Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing His love, who once was slain, Who soon o'er death revived again, That all His saints through Him might have Eternal conquests o'er the grave: Soon shall the trumpets sound, and we Shall rise to immortality. 2 The saints who now with Jesus sleep His own almighty power shall keep, Till dawns the bright illustrious day When death itself shall die away: Soon shall the trumpets sound, and we Shall rise to immortality. 3 How loud shall our glad voices sing, When Christ His risen saints shall bring, From beds of dust and silent clay, To realms of everlasting day! Soon shall the trumpets sound, and we Shall rise to immortality. 4 When Jesus we in glory meet, Our utmost joy shall be complete; When landed on that heavenly shore, Death and the curse shall be no more: Soon shall the trumpets sound, and we Shall rise to immortality. 5 Hasten, dear Lord, the glorious day, And this delightful scene display, When all Thy saints from death shall rise Raptured in bliss beyond the skies: Soon shall the trumpets sound, and we Shall rise to immortality. Amen. Text Sources: Rev. Rowland Hill's Ps. and Hy. 1796 (Anon. in)

Hell to-day is vanquished; heaven is won to-day. 3 Months in due succession, days of lengthening light, Hours and passing moments praise Thee in their flight; Brightness of the morning, sky and fields and sea, Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to Thee. "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say. 4 Maker and Redeemer, Life and Health of all, Thou from heaven beholding human nature's fall, Of the Father's Godhead true and only Son, Manhood to deliver, manhood didst put on. Hell to-day is vanquished; heaven is won to-day. 5 Thou, of life the Author, death didst undergo, Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show; Come then, True and Faithful, now fulfill Thy word, 'Tis Thine own third morning: rise, O buried Lord. "Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say. 6 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain; All that now is fallen raise to life again; Show Thy face in brightness, bid the nations see; Bring again our daylight: day returns with Thee. Hell to-day is vanquished; heaven is won to-day. Amen.

The atoning work is done

Author: Rev. Thomas Kelly Appears in 73 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The atoning work is done, The Victim's blood is shed; And Jesus now is gone His people's cause to plead; He stands in heaven their Great High Priest, And bears their names upon his breast. 2 He sprinkles with His blood The mercy-seat above; For justice had withstood The purposes of love; But justice now objects no more, And mercy yields her boundless store. 3 No temple made with hands His place of service is; In heaven itself He stands, A heavenly priesthood His; In Him the shadows of the law Are all fulfilled, and now withdraw. 4 And though awhile He be Hid from the eye of men, His people look to see Their Great High Priest again: In brightest glory He will come, And take His waiting people home. Amen.
