God Of All Power, And Truth, And Grace

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God of all power, and truth, and grace, Thou hast increased the holy seed; Thou hast increased the chosen race, The souls from sin for ever freed. 2 Thou in Thy saints art glorified, Thou hast in them Thine image shown; Shepherdless souls they wandered wide, Till called and perfect made in One. 3 All we like sheep have gone astray, To earth’s remotest bounds removed, Till Jesus showed Himself the Way, And kindly chastened whom He loved. 4 To Thee we in our trouble turned, Constrained Thy chastisements to bear, We then our sin and folly mourned, And poured out all our soul in prayer. 5 As women, when their time draws nigh, Cry out in sore distress, and pain, So have we travailed, in Thine eye, And struggled to be born again. 6 In anguish, agony, and grief, For years our laboring souls have been, Nor could we bring ourselves relief, Nor could we save ourselves from sin. 7 Our toil and strife availed us not, Abortive proved our hope, and vain, For we have no deliverance wrought, For yet we were not born again. The world did not before us fall, We still had not the victory, The mighty faith that conquers all, And makes the soul for ever free. 8 But they who sank in self despair, Death’s sentence in themselves receive; The quickening Voice divine shall hear, And dead with Christ, with Christ, shall live. 9 The Spirit that raised Him from the dead, My mortal body shall inspire, Shall raise us all with Christ our head, And hallow and baptize with fire. 10 Awake and sing, ye souls that dwell Indignant in the shade of death; Our Lord, who burst the gates of hell, Shall bear you from the gulf beneath. 11 As herbs revived by vernal dew, Spring from the earth, and flourish fair, Ye all shall rise with verdure new, And fruit unto perfection bear. 12 The hour shall come, the Gospel hour, When all that wait, His power shall prove, His resurrection’s glorious power, And live the life of faith and love. 13 They from the death of sin shall rise, Preventing here the general doom, When Christ the Lord shall bow the skies, And all mankind to judgment come. 14 The earth shall then cast out its dead, While all who perished unforgiv’n, Horribly lift their guilty head, And rise, to be shut out from Heav’n. 15 “Come, little flock (My people now My Israel, if thy heart be clean); Enter into thy chamber thou, Exclude the world, the hell of sin. 16 “Betake thee to the secret place, Safe in My tabernacle rest, O hide thee for a little space, Be sheltered in thy Savior’s breast. 17 “Rest, till the storm is all o’erpast, For lo! the Lord from Heav’n shall come, Judgment to execute at last, And seal the guilty sinner’s doom. 18 “The sea shall then its dead restore, The earth shall then disclose her blood, Shelter their carcasses no more, Or screen them from an angry God. 19 “Dragged from their graves, they then shall call On rocks their quickened dust t’entomb, And bid the burning mountains fall To hide them from the hell to come. 20 The wrath is come, the curse takes place, The slaves of sin receive their hire, And punished from My glorious face, They sink into eternal fire.

The Lord of Hosts, Th' Almighty Lord

Through all I would My passage tear, And trample on their feeble might. 11 “The soul that will not taste My love Shall perish by My righteous ire, My vengeful indignation prove, And feel Me a consuming fire. 12 “But rather let Him freely take A power from Me to turn and live; Peace with his God he then shall make, And Christ into his heart receive. 13 “My Son from all, who come to Him, Shall every spot of of sin remove, From all iniquity redeem, And root and ’stablish them in love. 14 “Grafted in Him, they all shall share The life, and fatness of the root, And every holy temper bear, And fill the world with golden fruit. 15 The trees of righteousness shall rise, Watered each moment from above, And bear the fruits of paradise, The glorious fruits of perfect love.

A Prayer For Guidance

Author: E. H. Whitman Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The way is dark with lowering clouds o’erhead Lyrics: 1 The way is dark with lowering clouds o’erhead, And threatening dangers lie on either side. The present step alone I see to tread; O Light of life, be Thou my constant guide. 2 I am not wise, and know not what to do, Nor how to toil acceptably for Thee; While willing learners of Thy work are few, O Thou omniscient One, my teacher be. 3 The time is short, so much remains to do, So much is lost by those who miss the way. Since I may wander from the highway, too, Guide my imperiled soul through time’s short day. 4 One way alone I know leads home to Thee, While wandering paths diverge from either side. I would not miss the blissful company, And welcome of the crowned and glorified. 5 O Israel’s God and mine amid the night, The ignorance that mars my work for Thee. In time’s short day along the way of light, Be Thou my guide unto eternity. Used With Tune: CHERKASY Text Sources: Helpful Gospel Songs by F. A. Enslow, Robert A. Jennings and F.

A Dread And Solemn Hour

Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A dread and solemn hour To us is drawing near; When we before the throne of God All present shall appear. 2 What answer shall we give, When God Himself demands The uses of such times as these, In judgment at our hands? 3 And must we then confess That all was spent in vain The seasons that were once our own, But cannot be again? 4 This will be dark indeed; To regions of despair Our own neglect will sink us down, To mourn forever there.

Author: Francis Kinwelmersh Meter: 10.10.10 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: From virgin’s womb this Christmas day did spring Lyrics: 1 From virgin’s womb this Christmas day did spring The precious seed that only savèd man; This day let man rejoice and sweetly sing, Since on this day salvation first began. This day did Christ man’s soul from death remove, With glorious saints to dwell in Heav’n above. 2 This day to man came pledge of perfect peace; This day to man came love and unity; This day man’s grief began for to surcease; This day did man receive a remedy For each offense and every deadly sin, With guilty heart that erst he wandered in. 3 Now in Christ’s flock let love be surely placed; Now from Christ’s flock let concord hate expel; Now of Christ’s flock let love so be embraced, As we in Christ, and Christ in us may dwell. Christ is the author of all unity, From whence proceedeth all felicity. 4 O sing unto this glittering, glorious King; O praise His name let every living thing; Let heart and voice like bells of silver ring, The comfort that this Christmas day did bring; Let lute, let shalm, with sound of sweet delight, The joy of Christ’s birth on this day recite.
