Dear friends farewell, I now must go

Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Dear friends farewell, I now must go The gospel for to preach; My master calls me so to do, His people for to teach. 2 While I was here, you have been dear, And have been very kind; But now in grace, I leave this place, And leave you all behind. 3 Weep not for me for here you see, My trials have been great; And now all you I bid adieu, And wish you all success. 4 Twill not be long before the church, Will altogether be; And you that love the lord below, Shall then your Saviour see. 5 There you shall join in songs divine, God's holy name shall praise; And view his smiles, forget the toils, Of these few evils days. 6 There you shall stand at his right hand, And in his presence dwell; And him adore for evermore So brethren, now farewell.

Firm, united, let us be

Chorus: Firm united let us be, In the bonds of charity: As a band of brothers join'd, Loving God and all mankind. 2 Rise ye heralds of the Lord, Take the breast-plate, shield and sword, Against the hosts of hell proclaim A war in Christ's all conquering name, Nor fear to gain the victory When for this glorious liberty, You on Jesus Christ depend— He'll the suffering cause defend: Place, O place in him your trust, He's almighty wise and just. Chorus: Firm united brethren stand, Firm an undivided band— Brethren dear in Jesus join'd Fill'd with all his constant mind. 3 Sound— the gospel trumpet sound; Through the earth's remotest bound; Let Jesus's name, with loud applause, Ring thro' the world his righteous laws— He gives, and rules in mercy mild. Believe, and be ye reconciled To a God of truth and love, Sending blessings from above— Now is the accepted time, Listen every joyful clime. Chorus: Hail— the Gospel jubilee, Jesus comes to set us free. He is come no more to bleed— Free we then shall be indeed. 4 Now the sovereign of the sky Comes, the troops of hell must fly. He is the rock of ages sure, And all who to the end endure, A glorious crown of righteousness Shall wear in realms of endless bliss. There with blood-wash'd throngs above, Wondering at redeeeming love, Evermore will shout and sing, Heaven's palace loud shall ring. Chorus: Firm united let us go, On in Jesus's steps below, As a band of brothers join, And eternal glory find.

How happy every child of grace

Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of grace, The souls that's fill'd with joy and peace, That bears the fruits of righteousness, And's kept by Jesus' power. Their trespasses are all forgiv'n, They antedate the joys of heav'n. In rapturous lays Shout the praise Of Jesus' grace, To a lost race Of sinners, brought to happiness Thro' the atoning blood of Jesus. 2 Satan may tempt, and hell may rage, And all the powers of earth besiege— Their united strength at once engage To pluck a soul form Jesus. The faithful soul laughs them to scorn, He's heaven bound, he's heaven born, He'll watch and pray, Night and day, Fight his way, Win the day, And all his enemies dismay, Thro' the mighty name of Jesus. 3 O monster, Death, thy sting is drawn, O, boasting Grave, the trophies won. The saint triumphs thro' grace alone, To praise the name of Jesus. At length he bids the world adieu, With all its vanity and shew— The soul it flies, Thro' the skies, To Paradise, And joins its voice, In rapturous lays of love, to praise The glorious name of Jesus. 4 When Gabriel's awful trump shall sound, And red the rocks, convulse the ground, And swears that time is at an end, Ye dead arise to Judgment. See lightnings flash, and thunders roll, The earth wrapt like a parchment scroll. Comets blaze, Singers raise, Dread amaze, And horrors seize The guilty sons of Adam's race, Unsav'd from sin by Jesus. 5 The Christian, filled with rapturous joy, Midst flaming worlds he mounts on high To meet his Saviour in the sky, And see the face of Jesus. Then soul and body reunite, And fill'd with glory infinite. Blessed day, Christians say, Will you pray, That we may All join that happy company, To praise the name of Jesus.

In evil long I took delight

Author: John Newton Appears in 329 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In evil long I took delight, Unaw'd by shame or fear Till a new object struck my sight, And stopt my wild career. 2 I saw one hanging on a tree, In agonies of blood; He fix'd his languid eyes on me; As near his cross I stood. 3 Sure never to my latest breath, Shall I forget that look; He seem'd to charge me with his death, Though not a word he spoke. 4 My conscience felt and own'd the guilt, And plung'd me in despair; I saw my sins his blood had spilt, And help'd to nail him there. 5 Alas! I knew not what I did, But now my tears are vain; Where shall my trembling soul be hid, For I the Lord have slain. 6 A second look he gave, which said, I freely all forgive; This blood is for thy ransom paid, I dy'd that thou may'st live. 7 With pleasing grief and mournful joy, My spirits now were fill'd, That I should such a life destroy, Yet live by him I kill'd.

Vital spark of heavenly flame

Appears in 275 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vital spark of heavenly flame, Quit, O quit this mortal frame, Trembling, hoping, ling'ring, flying, O the pain, the bliss of dying! Cease, fond nature cease, thy strife, And let me languish into life. 2 Hark! they whisper, angels, angels say, Sister spirit, come away; What is this absorbs me quite? Steals my senses, shuts my sight, Drowns my spirits, draws my breath, Tell me, my soul, can this be death? 3 The world recedes, it disappears, Heaven opens on my eyes, my ears, With sounds seraphic rings, Lend, lend your wings, I mount, I fly, O grave, where is thy victory! O death, where is thy sting!

Behold the awful trumpet sounds

Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold the awful trumpet sounds, The sleeping dead to raise, And calls the nations under ground: O how the saints will praise! 2 Behold the Saviour how he comes Descending from his throne To burst asunder all our tombs And lead his children home. 3 But who can bear that dreadful day, To see the world in flames: The burning mountains melt away, While rocks run down in streams. 4 The falling stars their orbits leave, The sun in darkness hide; The elements asunder cleave, The moon turn'd into blood! 5 Behold the universal world In consternation stand, The wicked into Hell are turn'd The Saints at God's right hand. 6 O then the music will begin, Their Saviour God to praise: They are all freed from every sin, And thus they'll spend their days!

In thee we now together came

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In thee we now together come, In singleness of heart; We meet, O Jesus, in thy name, And in thy name we part; We part in body, not in mind: Our minds continue one; And each to each in Jesus join'd, We hand to hand go on. 2 Subsists as in us all one soul; No pow'r can make us twain: Tho' mountains rise and oceans roll, To sever us in vain. Present we still in spirit are, And intimately nigh; While on the wings of faith and pray'r We each to other fly. 3 In Jesus Christ together we In heav'nly places sit: Cloath'd with the sun, we smile to see The moon beneath our feet. Our life is hid with Christ in God: Our life shall soon appear; And shed his glories all abroad In all his members here. 4 This heav'nly treasure here In a vile house of clay, But he shall to the utmost save, And keep it to that day, Our souls are in his mighty hand, And he will keep them still; And you and I shall surely stand With him on Zion's hill. 5 Him eye to eye we there shall see, Our face like his will shine: O what a glorious company When saints and angels join! O what a joyful meeting there! In robes of white array'd; Palms in our hands we all shall bear, And crowns upon our head! 6 Then let us lawfully contend, And fight our passage through, Bear in our faithful minds the end, And keep the prize in view: Then let us hasten to the day When all shall be brought home! Come, O Redeemer come away! O Jesus, quickly come!

Earth has detain'd me pris'ner long

Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Earth has detain'd me pris'ner long; But I’m grown weary now: My heart, my hands, my ears my tongue, There’s nothing here for you. 2 Tired myself I lay me down, And upward cast my eyes, Upward, my Father, to thy throne, And to my native skies. 3 There the dear Lord, my Saviour sits; O see how bright he shines! And scatters infinite delights On all the happy minds. 4 Seraphs with elevated strains Circle the throne around; And charm, and move the starry plains With an immortal sound. 5 Jesus the Lord their harps employs, "Jesus my love they sing," "Jesus" the God of both our joys, Sounds sweet from every string. 6 Now would I rise to join the song, And be an angel too; My heart my hands, my ears, my tongue There's joyful work for you. 7 I would begin the music here, And so my soul shall rise; O! for some heav'nly note to bear My spirit to the skies!
