How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #227 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? 2 Lo! these are they from sufferings great Who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed Those robes that shine so bright. 3 Now with triumphal palms they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love amidst The glories of the sky. 4 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, Nor sun with scorching ray: God is their sun, whose cheering beams Diffuse eternal day. 5 The Lamb, who dwells amidst the throne, Shall o'er them still preside, Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. 6 In pastures green he’ll lead his flock Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from every eye Shall wipe off every tear.

According to thy gracious word

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Together in Song #515a (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 According to thy gracious word, in meek humility, this will I do, my dying Lord, I will remember thee. 2 Thy body, broken for my sake, my bread from heaven shall be; thy testamental cup I take, and thus remember thee. 3 Gethsemane can I forget? or there thy conflict see, thine agony and bloody sweat, and not remember thee? 4 When to the cross I turn my eyes, and rest on Calvary, O Lamb of God, my sacrifice, I must remember thee: 5 remember thee, and all thy pains, and all thy love to me! Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains, will I remember thee. 6 And when these failing lips grow dumb, and mind and memory flee, when thou shalt in thy kingdom come, then, Lord, remember me.

The wretched prodigal behold

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R40 (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The wretched prodigal behold in mis’ry lying low, whom vice had sunk from high estate, and plung'd in want and woe. 2 While I, despis'd and scorn'd, he cries, starve in a foreign land, the meanest in my father’s house is fed with bounteous hand: 3 I’ll go, and with a mourning voice, fall down before his face: Father! I’ve sinn'd ‘gainst Heav’n and thee, nor can deserve thy grace. 4 He said, and hasten'd to his home, to seek his father’s love; that father sees him from afar, and all his bowels move. 5 He ran, and fell upon his neck, embrac'd and kissed his son: the grieving prodigal bewail'd the follies he had done. 6 No more, my father, can I hope to find paternal grace; my utmost wish is to obtain a servant’s humble place. 7 Bring forth the fairest robe for him, the joyful father said; to him each mark of grace be shown, and ev’ry honour paid. 8 A day of feasting I ordain; let mirth and song abound: my son was dead, and lives again! was lost, and now is found! 9 Thus joy abounds in paradise among the hosts of heav’n, soon as the sinner quits his sins, repents, and is forgiv’n.

Take comfort, Christians, when your friends

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R53a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Take comfort, Christians, when your friends in Jesus fall asleep; their better being never ends; why then dejected weep? 2 Why inconsolable, as those to whom no hope is giv’n? Death is the messenger of peace, and calls the soul to heav’n. 3 As Jesus dy'd, and rose again victorious from the dead; so his disciples rise, and reign with their triumphant Head. 4 The time draws nigh, when from the clouds Christ shall with shouts descend, and the last trumpet’s awful voice the heavens and earth shall rend. 5 Then they who live shall changed be, and they who sleep shall wake; the graves shall yield their ancient charge, and earth’s foundations shake. 6 The saints of God, from death set free, with joy shall mount on high; the heav’nly hosts with praises loud shall meet them in the sky, 7 Together to their Father’s house with joyful hearts they go; and dwell for ever with the Lord, beyond the reach of woe. 8 A few short years of evil past, we reach the happy shore, where death-divided friends at last shall meet, to part no more.

Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #P40a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I waited for the Lord my God, and patiently did bear; at length to me he did incline my voice and cry to hear. 2 He took me from a fearful pit, and from the miry clay, and on a rock he set my feet, establishing my way. 3 He put a new song in my mouth, our God to magnify: many shall see it, and shall fear, and on the Lord rely. 4 O blessed is the man whose trust upon the Lord relies; respecting not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 O Lord my God, full many are the wonders thou hast done; thy gracious thoughts to us-ward far above all thoughts are gone. None can them reckon to thee; if I would them declare, if I would speak of them, they more than can be numbered are. 6 No sacrifice nor offering didst thou at all desire; mine ears thou op’st; sin-offering thou and burnt didst not require. 7 then to the Lord these were my words, I come, behold and see; within the volume of the book it written is of me; 8 To do thy will I take delight, O thou my God that art: yea, that most holy law of thine I have within my heart. 9 Within the congregation great I righteousness did preach: lo, thou dost know, O Lord, that I refrained not my speech. 10 I never did within my heart conceal thy righteousness; I thy salvation have declared, and shown thy faithfulness: thy kindness, which most loving is, concealed have not I, nor from the congregation great have hid thy verity. 11 Thy tender mercies, Lord, from me O do thou not restrain; thy loving-kindness, and thy truth, let them me still maintain. 12 For ills past reckoning compass me, and mine iniquities such hold upon me taken have, I cannot lift mine eyes. More they than hairs upon my head, thence is my heart dismayed; 13 be pleased, Lord, to rescue me; Lord, hasten to mine aid. 14 Shamed and confounded be they all that seek my soul to kill; yea, let them backward driven be and sham’d, that wish me ill. 15 For a reward of this their shame confounded let them be, who in this manner scoffing; say, Aha, aha! to me. 16 Let all who seek thy face rejoice, and still be glad in thee; who thy salvation love, say still, the Lord exalted be. 17 I’m poor and needy, yet the Lord of me a care doth take; thou art my Saviour and my help; my God, no tarrying make.
