Crucifixion to the world by the Death of CHRIST

Appears in 2,018 hymnals First Line: When I survey the wond'rous Cross Lyrics: 1 When I survey the wond'rous Cross On which the Prince of Glory dy'd, My richest Gain I count but Loss, And pour Contempt on all my Pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, Save in the Death of Christ my God: All the vain Things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his Blood. 2 See from his Head, his Hands, his Feet, Sorrow and Love flow mingled down! Did e'er such Love and Sorrow meet? Or Thorns compose so rich a Crown? His dying Crimson, like a Robe, Spreads o'er his Body on the Tree; Then am I dead to all the Globe, And all the Globe is dead to me. 3 Were the whole Realm of Nature mine, That were a Present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my Soul, my Life, my All.

When Isr'el Egypt left

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Isr'el Egypt left, and Jacob's family Did from a barb'rous people there march forth triumphantly; 2 Then Judah was ordain'd to guard his holy place; But the whole host of Israel His choice dominion was. 3 The sea it saw, and fled; and Jordan back did flow; 4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs the hills leap'd to and fro. 5 Thou sea! what made thee fly? thou Jordan-back to flow? 6 Ye mountains leap like rams? ye hills like lambs leap to and fro? 7 Before the mighty Lord tremble O earth for fear, While the dread presence of the God of Jacob doth appear! 8 Who made the solid rock melt into pools below; To springs of water turn'd the flint, and made the flint to flow. Scripture: Psalm 114

The Fall of Angels and Men

Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: When the Great Builder arch'd the Skies Lyrics: 1 When the Great Builder arch'd the Skies, And form'd all Nature with a Word, The joyful Cherubs tun'd his Praise, And ev'ry bending Throne ador'd. High in the midst of all the Throng, Satan a tall Arch-Angel, sate, Amongst the Morning Stars he sung, 'Till Sin destroy'd his Heav'nly State. 2 'Twas Sin that hurl'd him from his Throne; Grov'lling in Fire the Rebel lies: How art thou sunk in Darkness down, Son of the Morning, from the Skies! And thus our two first Parents stood, 'Till Sin defil'd the happy Place; They lost their Garden and their God, And ruin'd all their unborn Race. 3 So sprung the Plague from Adam's Bower, And spread Destruction all abroad, Sin, the curs'd Name, that in one Hour Spoil'd six Days Labour of a God. Tremble, my Soul, and mourn for Grief, That such a Foe should seize thy Breast; Fly to thy Lord for quick Relief; Oh! may he slay this treach'rous Guest. 4 Then to thy Throne, Victorious King, Then to thy Throne our Shouts shall rise, Thine everlasting Arm we sing, For sin, the Monster, bleeds and dies.

Wherefore Jehovah standest thou

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wherefore JEHOVAH standest thou away from us so far? And wherefore hidest thou thy self when times so troublous are? 2 Because the wicked in their pride the needy make a prey; They shall be taken in the plots which they for others lay. 3 The wicked in their heart's desire do glory; and they praise The worldly man as blest; but they JEHOVAH's anger raise. 4 The wicked thro' their lofty pride on God refuse to call; And in their multitude of thoughts there is no GOD at all. 5 Their ways at all times grievous are: thy judgments are on high Above their sight: at all their foes they blow disdainfully. 6 Within their heart they vainly say, "we mov'd shall never be, "Nor yet in any time to come "adversity shall see." 7 His mouth with cursing filled is, with wiles, deceit and wrong; And mischief and iniquity lie hid beneath his tongue. 8 In coverts near the villages they sit; the harmless slay; And for the poor who pass along with hidden eyes they lay. 9 As lions in their coverts watch, the feeble to surprize; As fowlers draw them in their net, and on a sudden seize. 10 As maim'd and crouching they will seem; that numbers of the poor At unawares may fall into their paws of cruel power. 11 In heart they say, "God has forgot "these things eternally; "He wholly hides his face away, "and them will never see." [2 Part] 12 JEHOVAH rise thou up; O God, lift up thine hand on high; Cast not the meek afflicted ones Out of thy memory. 13 O why do wicked men provoke the mighty GOD, and say Presumptuously within their heart, 'Thou never wilt repay.' 14 But spite and mischief thou dost see; thy hand will them reward: The poor commits himself to Thee; Thou art the orphan's guard. 15 The wicked's arm wilt wholly break and of the evil one; And search out his impieties until thou findest none; 16 JEHOVAH King of ages is and of eternity: Out of his land the heathen tribes are perish'd utterly. 17 The meek afflicted ones desire JEHOVAH thou dost hear; Thou dost prepare their heart, and then give thine attentive ear. 18 To judge and help the fatherless, the feeble and the poor; That earthly men may not destroy nor vex them any more. Scripture: Psalm 10

Maschil of Asaph

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Wherefore, O God, for evermore Lyrics: 1 Wherefore, O GOD, for evermore hast Thou rejected us? Why smoaks thy wrath against the sheep of thine own pasture thus? 2 O mind thy flock Thou bought'st of old, this heritage of thine, By Thee redeem'd, and Zion-hill where Thou didst dwell and shine. 3 O lift thy feet, and come and view the utter ruins wrought; And what the foe with wicked rage hath on thy temple brought. 4 For where thy congregations met, thy foes roar hideously; And there for signs of triumph set their ensigns up on high. 5 The man who fell'd thick trees to build Thy temple, had renown; 6 But now thy foes in spite and rage beat all the carvings down. 7 They cast thy holy house into the fierce devouring flame, And throwing to the ground, defile the dwelling of thy name. 8 Yea, now said they, we'll break them all with our restless hand; And burn up all the synagogues of God throughout the land. [2 Part] 9 We see no more our wonted signs, our prophets all are gone; To tell us when these things shall end, among us there is none. 10 How long shall these insulting foes Thee mighty GOD defame? Or shall they always be allow'd thus to blaspheme thy name? 11 O wherefore thy right hand of pow'r dost Thou from us restrain? Out of thy bosom now for us, draw forth the same again. 12 For GOD the mighty is my king, ev'n from the time of old, Working in midst of all the earth salvations manifold. 13 Thou didst the mighty sea divide by thy superiour pow'r; And break the dragons dreadful heads, who thro' the waters roar. 14 The heads of the leviathan to pieces Thou didst break; To those who in the desart dwelt, for meat Thou didst him make. 15 Thou clay'st the fountain and the flood, Thou bidst the streams to flow; Thou dry'st the mighty rivers up, to lead thy people thro'. 16 The cheerful day, the gloomy night, Thou mak'st, and they are thine; Thou hast prepar'd the beauteous light, and made the sun to shine. 17 Thou all the borders of the earth hast set by thy decree: The summer and the winter both are made and rul'd by Thee. [3 Part] 18 O LORD, remember how the foe does ev'n Thy self defame; And how the foolish people dare blaspheme thy sacred name. 19 O do not to this multitude thy turtle's soul give o'er; For ever do not Thou forget th' assembly of the poor. 20 Thy sacred covenant regard: for round about we see, The earth's dark places filled with the seats of cruelty. 21 O let not those who are oppress'd, ever return with shame; But let the destitute and poor, for ever praise thy name. 22 Arise, O GOD, plead thine own cause: and have in memory, How day by day the foolish man, mocks and reproaches Thee. 23 Forget not Thou the voice of those who are thine enemies: Their noise and tumults daily grow, who up against Thee rise. Scripture: Psalm 74

Death and Burial of Saints

Appears in 522 hymnals First Line: Why do we mourn departing Friends Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing Friends; Or shake at Death's Alarms? 'Tis but the Voice that Jesus sends To call them to his Arms. Are we not tending upward too, As fast as Time can move Nor should we wish the Hours more Slow To keep us from our Love. 2 Why should we tremble to convey Their Bodies to the Tomb? There the dear Flesh of Jesus lay, And left a long Perfume. The Graves of all his Saints he bless'd, And softened every Bed; Where should the dying Members rest, But with the dying Head? 3 Thence he arose, ascended high, And shew'd our Feet the Way; Up to the Lord our Flesh shall fly, At the Great rising Day. Then let the last loud Trumpet sound, And bid our Kindred rise; Awake, ye Nations under Ground; Ye Saints ascend the Skies.

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Why gloriest thou in injury Lyrics: 1 Why gloriest thou in injury O might man of pow'r The goodness of almighty God for ever does endure. 2 Thy tongue vents mischief which thy heart devises wickedly; And like a sharp'ned razor works and wounds deceitfully. 3 Thou lovest evil more than good; more to speak wrong, than right; 4 And in devouring words dost thou, deceitful tongue, delight 5 God will for ever thee destroy, will pull and pluck thee out From thine own house; and from the land of life, he will thee root. (Selah) 6 The righteous this shall also see, with trembling in that day; And yet with holy triumph then pointing at thee, shall say; 7 'Lo! this the man that made not GOD 'his strength; but trusted in 'His store of riches, and himself, 'ev'n strength'ned in his sin. 8 But in the house of GOD am I, as a green olive tree; And in the grace of GOD my trust for evermore shall be. 9 Because thou this hast justly done, I'll praise thee evermore; And on thy name will wait; for this is good thy saints before. Scripture: Psalm 52

(A Psalm) of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: With all my heart I'll thee confess Lyrics: 1 With all my heart I'll Thee confess, to Thee my thanks will bring, And openly before the GODS, I'll praises to Thee sing. 2 Towards thy house of holiness I'll bow and worship Thee; And thy great name to celebrate, shall my employment be. But chiefly for thy love and truth thy praises I'll proclaim; For over all, Thou, by thy word, hast magnify'd thy name. 3 The very day I cry'd to Thee, Thou kindly didst reply; And Thou didst fortify my soul with strength in full supply. 4 All kings throughout the joyful earth, shall give Thee praise, O LORD, When of thy mouth they come to hear the true and faithful word. 5 Yea, they with raised joy shall sing along JEHOVAH"s ways; For great the glory of the LORD, and great is all his praise. 6 The LORD, tho' high, yet kindly looks on those who lowly are; But those exalted high with pride, he knows and keeps afar. 7 Altho' I walk amidst distress, Thee quick'ning me I have: Thine hand shall smite my raging foes, and thy right hand me save. 8 The LORD will perfect what I want: thy mercy ever stands; JEHOVAH, O forsake Thou not the works of thine own hands. Scripture: Psalm 138

A Psalm of David

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: With expectation from the LORD Lyrics: 1 With expectation from the LORD, I waited patiently; And He inclin'd to pity me, and heard my humble cry. 2 He brought me from the dreadful pit, and from the miry clay; And on a rock he set my feet, established my way. 3 A new song put He in my mouth, to praise our God on high; Which many shall behold, and fear, and on the LORD rely. 4 O greatly blessed are the men, who in the LORD confide; Who value not the proud, nor such, as turn to lies aside. [2 Part] 5 O LORD my God, how many are, the wonders thou hast wrought; What multitudes of kindnesses towards us hast thou thought. 6 Their sum in order, never can be reckon'd up to thee: If I would count them they are more, than e'er can number'd be. 7 Thou dost no sacrifice of beasts now off'ring now desire, sin off'rings thou requirest not, nor off'rings made by fire: 8 But mine ear piercest: then said I, 'Lo now I come to Thee; 'As in the volume of thy book ' 'tis written thus of me;' "To do thy will, is my delight, " O Thou my God who art! "Yea thy whole law is fised in "the centre of my heart." 9 "I in the congregation great, "thy righteousness did show; "Lo I have not refrain'd my lips, JEHOVAH thou dost know. 10 "I have not in my heart conceal'd, "thy perfect righteousness; "But thy salvation have declar'd, "and shown thy faithfulness. "Neither thy great binignity "have I at all conceal'd; Nor from the congregation great "have I thy truth with-held." 11 And now thy tender mercies, LORD with-hold thou not from me; But let thy mercy and thy truth keep me continually. 12 For evils more than can be told, encompass me around; My sins so seize and hold me fast, that they my sight confound. They're more than hairs upon my head, my heart is quite dismay'd: 13 O LORD, be pleas'd to rescue me, LORD< hasten to my aid. [3 Part] 14 With shame be they confounded, who my soul to ruin aim; Yea, all who evil wish to me, be driven back with shame. 15 With shame their spite shall be repaid, who mock my hope in Thee; Who sport of me in trouble make, they desolated shall be. 16 Let all who seek Thee, joy in Thee who firm in Thee confide; Who thy salvation love, cry out "the LORD be magnify'd." 17 I poor and needy am; and yet the Lord does think on me: For Thou my help and favour art: my god me quickly free. Scripture: Psalm 40
