O God my heart with love inflame

Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God my heart with love inflame, That I may in thy holy name, Aloud in songs of praise rejoice, While I have breath to raise my voice; Then will I shout, then will I sing, And make the heavenly arches ring, I'll sing and shout for evermore, On that eternal happy shore. 2 O hope of Glory, Jesus come! And make my heart thy humble home For the small remnant of my days, I want to sing and shout thy praise. O give me Lord a heart to pray, And live rejoicing every day; For to give thanks in every thing; And sing and shout, and shout and sing. 3 When on my dying bed I lay, Lord give me strength to shout and pray! And praise thee with my latest breath, Until my voice is lost in death. Then brethren, sisters, shouting come, My body follow to the tomb: And as you march the solemn road, Loud sing and shout the praise of God. 4 Then you below and I above, We'll shout and praise the God of love, Until that great tremendous day, When Christ shall shout and wake our clay; Then from our dusty beds we'll spring, And shout O Death, where is thy sting? O Grave, where is thy victory? We'll shout to all eternity. 5 Our race is o'er we've gain'd the prize, Then shall the Sov'reign of the skies, With smiles unto his children say, Come reign with me in endless day. Then on that happy, happy shore, We'll shout and sing, our sufferings o'er, We'll sing and shout and shout and sing, And make the heav'nly arches ring. Glory Hallelujah.

O don't you hear the alarm

Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O don't you hear the alarm, Hark— how the trumpet sounds! It is the Lord of glory, That gives the gospel bounds. 2 Come and accept his offer Before it is too late, For Jesus is a calling Before he shuts the gate. 3 Come let us go together, And lift into his band, For Jesus is our captain, He's bounty in his hand. 4 The trumpet is a sounding, It's for more volunteers, Come like a valiant soldier, And cast away your fears. 5 Come who will list with Jesus, A soldier for to make, And like a faithful subject, His armour on you take. 6 He's food and raiment plenty, Enough— and for to spare, All things he has provided, That you have need to wear. 7 Then let us well remember, How Israel was freed, When from the hand of Pharaoh, By Moses they were led. 8 The pillar went before them, And Moses with his rod. No doubt we shall win the day, If we but trust in God. 9 Our enemies are many, On every side they stand. Then let us go together, With weapons in our hand. 10 Let us begin the battle, Like David with his sling— Fight with courage stout and bold, For Jesus Christ our king. 11 Then, when the war is ended, We'll lay our weapons by, And fly aloft to Jesus To reign above the sky. 12 In peace we'll wear the laurel, When our foes are slain. We'll take the large possession, Where peace forever reigns.

Early my God, without delay

Appears in 393 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Early my God, without delay, I haste to seek thy face, My thirsty spirit faints away Without thy cheering grace. 2 So pilgrims on the scorching sand, Beneath a burning sky, Long for a cooling stream at hand, And they must drink or die. 3 I’ve seen thy glory and thy pow'r, Through all thy temple shine; My God, repeat that heav’nly hour, That vision so divine. 4 Not all the blessings of a feast Can please my soul so well, As when thy richer grace I taste, And in thy presence dwell. 5 Not life herself, with all her joys, Can my best passions move, Or raise so high my cheerful voice, As thy forgiving love. 6 Thus, till my last expiring day, I'll bless my God and King; Thus will I lift my hands to pray, And tune my lips to sing.

Why should we start and fear to die?

Appears in 423 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why should we start and fear to die? What tim’rous worms we mortals are! Death is the gate to endless joy, And yet we dread to enter there. 2 The pains, the groans, the dying strife Fright our approaching souls away; Still we shrink back again to life, Fond of our prison and our clay. 3 Oh! if my Lord would come and meet, My soul would stretch her wings in haste, Fly fearless through Death’s iron gate, Nor feel the terrors as she pass'd. 4 Jesus can make a dying bed Feel soft as downy pillows are, While on his breast I lean my head, And breathe my life out sweetly there.

The glorious day is drawing nigh

Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The glorious day is drawing nigh, When Sion's light shall come: She shall arise and shine on high Bright as the morning sun. The north and south their suns resign, And earth's foundations bend; Adorn'd as a bride Jerusalem, All-glorious shall descend. 2 The king that bears the golden crown, The azure, flaming bow; The holy city shall bring down To bless his saints below. When Sion's bleeding conqu'ring king, Shall sin and death destroy; The morning stars together sing, And Sion shout for joy. 3 The holy, bright, musician bands Who sing on harps of gold, Palms in their hands they upward tend, Fair Salem to behold! Ascending on such melting strains, Jehovah's name they bear: Such shouts thro' earth's extensive plains, Was never heard before! 4 Let satan rage and boast no more, Ye fiends of darkness fly; Though saints are feeble, weak, and poor, Their great Redeemer's nigh. He is their shield— their hiding place— A covert from the wind— Streams from the rock in the wilderness, Throughout this weary land. 5 The chrystal streams run down from heav'n, They issue from the throne: The floods of strife away are driv'n, The church becomes but one. That peaceful union she shall know, And live upon his love! And shout and sing of grace below, As angels do above!

Hallelujah to the Lamb

Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: From regions of Love, lo! an angel descended Lyrics: 1 From regions of Love, lo! an angel descended, And told the strange news, how the babe was attended! "Go, shepherds, and visit this wonderful stranger, "See yonder bright star— there's your God in a manger!" Chorus: Hallelujah to the Lamb Who has purchas'd our pardon, We will praise him again When we pass over Jordan. 2 Glad tidings I bring unto you and each nation, Glad tidings of joy, now behold your salvation: Then sudden a multitude raise their glad voices, And shout the Redeemer, whole Heaven rejoices. [Chorus] 3 Now glory to God in the highest is given, Now glory to God, is re-echo'd thro' Heaven: Around the whole earth let us tell the glad story, And sing of his love, his salvation, and glory. [Chorus] 4 Enraptur'd I burn with delight and desire, Such love, so divine, sets my soul all on fire: Around the bright throne now hosannas are ringing, O, when shall I join them, and ever be singing— [Chorus] 5 Triumphantly ride in thy chariot victorious, And conquer with love, O Jesu, all glorious: Thy banners unfurl, let the nations surrender, And own thee their Saviour, their God, and Defender. [Chorus]

Lord what a wretched land is this

Appears in 112 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord what a wretched land is this, That yields us no supply? No cheering fruits, no wholesome trees, Nor streams of living joy. 2 But pricking thorns thro' all the ground, And mortal poisons grow; And all the rivers that are found, With dangerous waters flow. 3 Yet the dear path to thine abode Lies thro' this horrid land; Lord! we would keep the heav'nly road, And run at thy command. 4 Our souls shall tread the desart through, With undiverted feet; And faith and flaming zeal subdue The terrors that we meet. 5 A thousand savage beasts of prey Around the forest roam; But Judah's lion guards the way, And guides the strangers home. 6 Long nights and darkness dwell below With scarce a twinkling ray; But the bright world to which we go Is everlasting day. 7 By glimm'ring hopes and gloomy fears We trace the sacred road— Thro' dismal deeps and dang'rous snares We make our way to God. 8 Our journey is a thorny maze, But we march upward still. Forget these troubles of the ways, And reach at Zion's hill. 9 See the kind angels at the gates Inviting us to come. There Jesus the fore-runner waits, To welcome trav'llers home. 10 There, on a green, and flow'ry mount, Our weary souls shall sit; And with transporting joys, recount The labours of our feet. 11 No vain discourse shall fill our tongue, Nor trifles vex our ear; Infinite grace shall be our song, And God rejoice to hear. 12 Eternal glories to the king That brought us safely through. Our tongues shall never cease to sing, And endless praise renew.

Lo! we see the sign appearing

Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! we see the sign appearing, Jesus comes the Judge severe, Hell is trembling with a quaking Sinners shrink with awful fear; Come to judgment! come to judgment! Stand your awful doom to hear. 2 See the world in flames is burning, Mountains and hills away they fly, The moon in blood, the stars are flaming, Comets blazing through the sky. Thunder rolling! thunders rolling! Sinners now for help they cry. 3 From the general conflagration, Mounts the righteous up on high, Gain the hope of their salvation, Live with God no more to die. Hallelujah, hallelujah, Glory to the Lamb they cry. 4 Stop my soul, look back and wonder See the wicked left behind, Hear them crying, weeping, wailing, for a moment's ease to find, Doom'd to sorrow, doom'd to sorrw, In the lake of hell confin'd

And are we yet alive

Appears in 222 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And are we yet alive, And see each other's face? Glory and praise to Jesus give, For His redeeming grace. 2 Preserv'd by pow'r divine, To feel salvation here; Again in Jesus' name we join, And in his sight appear. 3 What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we past; Fightings without and fears within, Since we assembled last. 4 But out of all, the Lord Hath brought us by his love; And still he does his help afford, And hides our life above. 5 Then let us make our boast, Of his redeeming pow'r; Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more. 6 Let us take up the cross, Till we the crown obtain; And gladly reckon all things lost, So we may Jesus gain.

Come and taste, along with me

Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come and taste, along with me, Consolations running free, From my Father's wealthy throne, Sweeter than the honey-comb. 2 Wherefore should I feast alone, Two are better still than one; The more comes in with a free, good will. Makes the banquet sweeter still. 3 Now I go to heaven's door Asking for a little more; Jesus gives a double share, Calling me, his chosen heir. 4 Goodness running like a stream, Through the new Jerusalem, And by constant breaking forth, Sweetens earth, and heaven both. 5 Saints in glory sing aloud, For to see and hear of God! Coming in at heaven's door. Making of the number more. 6 Now my body doth its best, For to keep me back from Christ; But a treasure coming in, Doth oppose my inbred sin. 7 Sinful nature, lurking vice; Cannot stop the force of grace; Whilst there is a God to give, And a sinner to receive. 8 Heavens here and heavens there, Comforts flowing every where! This I boldly do profess That my soul hath got a taste. 9 Now I go rejoicing home From the banquet of perfume! Finding manna on the road, Dropping from the mount of God!
