By Whom Shall Jacob Now Arise?

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11013 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 By whom shall Jacob now arise? For Jacob’s friends are few, And—what should fill us with surprise— They seem divided, too. 2 By whom shall Jacob now arise? For Jacob’s foes are strong. I read their triumph in their eyes, They think he’ll fail ere long. 3 By whom shall Jacob now arise? Can any tell by whom? Say, shall this branch that withered lies, Again revive and bloom? 4 Lord, Thou canst tell—the work is Thine, The help of man is vain. On Jacob now arise and shine, And he shall live again.

Thou Who Hast Called Our Being Here

Author: James T. Fields, 1817-1881 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12489 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thou who hast called our being here, And given us souls to save, Who taught us more of love than fear, Of Heaven than of the grave— 2 To Thee in every mortal hour With confidence we turn, And feeling Thine abiding power, Our hearts with rapture burn. 3 "Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done," May all Thy children say, And thank Thee, Father, for Thy Son, Who taught us how to pray.

I Take The Journey Of A Day

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12605 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I take the journey of a day, Thy sun, Lord, gives me light; The moon and stars, Thy voice obey, And watch me through the night. 2 For mercies every hour bestowed Unceasing thanks are due; Now, ’midst the dangers of the road, Lord, bring me safely through. 3 Upheld by Thine almighty arm, And guided by Thine eye, Storms cannot crush, nor lightnings harm, Sickness nor plague come nigh. 4 Thou art Thy people’s sun and shield, Their glory and defense; All elements allegiance yield To sovereign Providence. 5 But not in Providence alone The Godhead’s footsteps shine, In grace are mightier wonders shown, Of love and power divine. 6 As these thus far on pilgrimage, My lengthened course attend, So may they lead me stage by stage, To mine appointed end. 7 When all my journeyings here must cease, And life no more shall be; Lord, let me then depart in peace, From everything but Thee.

The Wounds Which Jesus Once Endured

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14592 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The wounds which Jesus once endured Were stigmas of His shame; But now they have for Him procured An everlasting name. 2 The nail-prints, and the lance’s scar The work of hellish spite, His bright triumphal trophies are, And badges of His might. 3 "Behold these hands; at My command Touch them," the Savior cried; "Reach hither, Thomas, reach thy hand, And thrust it in My side." 3 Thomas obeyed the Savior’s word, "My Lord and God," he said; He owned his master and his Lord, And to his God he prayed. 4 O mighty Conqueror of the grave! To Thee be endless praise, For all the proofs Thy mercy gave That Thou Thyself didst raise. 5 For with Thee Lord, we upward tend, With Thee Thy members rise; In Thine ascension we ascend To mansions in the skies. 6 Praise for the proofs that we receive Through Thomas, Lord, from Thee; He doubted that we might believe, And never doubtful be. 7 Praise also for the lesson taught To our fond human love, When Thou didst raise a woman’s thought From earth to Heav’n above. 8 Through Thomas we Thy manhood know; And, through the Magdalene, We learn to touch, while here below, Thy deity unseen.

When God Descends, A Streaming Fire

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16121 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When God descends, a streaming fire Lyrics: 1 When God descends, a streaming fire Attends Him through the sky; Thick clouds compose His dark attire, And vivid lightnings fly. 2 Impervious wreaths of smoke surround, And hide His awful seat; Incessant thunders roar around, Or murmur at His feet. 3 ’Twas thus on Sinai’s lofty hill, Jehovah once appeared; The trumpet loud proclaimed His will, And trembling Israel heard. 4 They trembling heard, but straight forgot The terrors of the day; They scarcely left the awful spot, Before they went astray. 5 Their solemn vows they soon revoke, False and ungrateful prove; Forget the tempest, fire and smoke, Their maker’s wrath and love. 6 What Sinai’s terrors ne’er could do, That Sion’s God performs; ’Tis He creates our hearts anew, And strengthens feeble worms. 7 He gently leads our wandering souls In paths of righteousness; And all our passions He controls, By His all-powerful grace. 8 From Sinai we to Sion fly, The city of our God; Unawed and fearless we draw nigh, And make it our abode.
