When Israel, Freed from Pharaoh's Hand
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 49 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Israel, freed from Pharaoh’s hand
Left the proud tyrant and his land,
The tribes with cheerful homage own
Their king, and Judah was His throne.
2. Across the deep their journey lay;
The deep divides to make them way;
Jordan beheld their march, and fled
With backward current to his head.
3. The mountains shook like frighted sheep,
Like lambs the little hillocks leap;
Not Sinai on her base could stand,
Conscious of sovereign power at hand.
4. What power could make the deep divide?
Make Jordan backward roll his tide?
Why did ye leap, ye little hills?
And whence the fright that Sinai feels?
5. Let every mountain, every flood,
Retire and know th’approaching God,
The King of Israel: see Him here;
Tremble, thou earth, adore and fear.
6. He thunders, and all nature mourns;
The rock to standing pools He turns;
Flints spring with fountains at His word,
And fires and seas confess the Lord. Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

The Law Of God Is Good And Wise
Author: M. Loy Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Law of God is good and wise
And sets His will before our eyes;
Shows us the way of righteousness
And dooms to death when we transgress.
2 Its light of holiness imparts
The knowledge of our sinful hearts,
That we may see our lost estate
And seek deliv'rance ere too late.
3 To those who help in Christ have found
And would in works of love abound,
It shows what deeds are His delight
And should be done as good and right.
4 When men the offered help disdain
And dead in sin and woe remain,
Its terror in their ear resounds
And keeps their wickedness in bounds.
5 The law is good, but since the fall
Its holiness condemns us all:
It dooms us for our sins to die
And has no pow'r to justify.
6 To Jesus we for refuge flee,
Who from the curse has set us free,
And humbly worship at His throne,
Saved by His grace thro' faith alone.

The Law Of God Is Good And Wise
Extended on a Cursèd Tree
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Extended on a cursed tree,
Besmeared with dust, and sweat, and blood,
See there, the King of Glory see!
Sinks and expires the Son of God.
2. Who, who, my Savior, this hath done?
Who could Thy sacred body wound?
No guilt Thy spotless heart hath known,
No guile hath in Thy lips been found.
3. I, I alone, have done the deed!
'Tis I Thy sacred flesh have torn;
My sins have caused Thee, Lord, to bleed,
Pointed the nail, and fixed the thorn.
4. The burden, for me to sustain
Too great, on Thee, my Lord, was laid;
To heal me, Thou hast borne my pain;
To bless me, Thou a curse wast made.
5. In the devouring lion's teeth,
Torn, and forsook of all, I lay;
Thou sprang'st into the jaws of death,
From death to save the helpless prey.
6. Savior, how shall I proclaim?
How pay the mighty debt I owe?
Let all I have, and all I am,
Ceaseless to all Thy glory show.
7. Too much to Thee I cannot give;
Too much I cannot do for Thee;
Let all Thy love, and all Thy grief,
Graven on my heart for ever be!
8. The meek, the still, the lowly mind,
O may I learn from Thee, my God,
And love, with softest pity joined,
For those that trample on Thy blood!
9. Still let Thy tears, Thy groans, Thy sighs,
O'erflow my eyes, and heave my breast,
Till loose from flesh and earth I rise,
And ever in Thy bosom rest. Used With Tune: SPIRES Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1740

Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work
Author: Dr. M. Luther; Dr. J. Jonas Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work,
restrain the murderous Pope and Turk,
who fain would tear from off Thy throne
Christ Jesus, Thy beloved Son.
2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power make known,
For Thou art Lord of lords alone;
Shield Thy poor Christendom, that we
May evermore sing praise to Thee.
3 Thou Comforter of priceless worth
Give one mind to Thy flock on earth,
Stand by us in our final strife,
And lead us out of death to life.
4 Destroy their counsels, Lord our God,
And smite them with an iron rod,
And let them fall into the snare
Which for Thy Christians they prepare.
5 So that at last they may perceive
That, Lord our God, Thou still dost live,
And dost deliver mightily
All those who put their trust in Thee. Topics: The Church Year Used With Tune: [Lord, keep us in Thy Word and work]

That day of wrath, that dreadful day
Author: Thomas of Celano Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day,
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?

The flaming heavens together roll;
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Resounds the trump that wakes the dead;

When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away. Topics: The Last Things Christ's Second Coming; The Last Things Christ's Second Coming; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ Used With Tune: [That day of wrath, that dreadful day]

Arm These Thy Soldiers, Mighty Lord
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arm these Thy soldiers, mighty Lord,
With shield of faith and Spirit's sword.
Forth to the battle may they go
And boldly fight against the foe.
2 With banner of the Cross unfurled,
They overcome the evil world
And so at last receive from Thee
The palm and crown of victory.
3 Come, ever-blessed Spirit, come
And make Thy servants' hearts Thy home.
May each a living temple be
Hallowed forever, Lord, to Thee.
4 Enrich that temple's holy shrine
With sev'n-fold gifts of grace divine;
With wisdom, light, and knowledge bless,
With counsel, strength, fear, godliness.
5 O Trinity in Unity,
One only God and Persons Three,
In whom, through whom, by whom, we live,
To Thee we praise and glory give.
6 Oh, grant us so to use Thy grace
That we may see Thy glorious face
And ever with the heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
Amen. Topics: Confirmation Scripture: Ephesians 6:13 Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR

Lord God, to Thee We Give All Praise
Author: Philipp Melanchthon, 1497-1560; Paul Eber, 1511-69; Emanuel Cronenwett, 1841-1931 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord God, to Thee we give all praise,
With grateful hearts our voices raise,
That angel hosts Thou didst create
Around Thy glorious throne to wait.
2 They shine with light and heav'nly grace
And constantly behold Thy face;
They heed Thy voice, they know it well,
In godly wisdom they excel.
3 They never rest nor sleep as we;
Their whole delight is but to be
With Thee, Lord Jesus, and to keep
Thy little flock, Thy lambs and sheep.
4 The ancient dragon is their foe;
His envy and his wrath they know.
It always is his aim and pride
Thy Christian people to divide.
5 As he of old deceived the world
And into sin and death has hurled,
So now he subtly lies in wait
To undermine both Church and state.
6 A roaring lion, round he goes,
No halt nor rest he ever knows;
He seeks the Christians to devour
And slay them in his dreadful pow'r.
7 But watchful is the angel band
That follows Christ on ev'ry hand
To guard His people where they go
And break the counsel of the foe.
8 For this, now and in days to be,
Our praise shall rise, O Lord, to Thee,
Whom all the angel hosts adore
With grateful songs forevermore.
