The Night Is Far Spent

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 10.11.11.11 Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: The night is far spent, the day is at hand Lyrics: 1. The night is far spent, the day is at hand; Already the dawn may be seen in the sky; Rejoice then, ye saints, ’tis your Lord’s own command; Rejoice, for the coming of Jesus draws nigh. 2. How bright it will be, when Jesus appears! How welcome to those who have shared in His cross! A crown incorruptible then will be theirs, A rich compensation for suffering and loss. 3. Affliction is light compared to the day Of glory that then will from Heaven be revealed! The Savior is coming, His people may say, The Lord whom we look for, our sun and our shield. 4. O pardon us, Lord, that love to Thy name Is faint, with so much our affections to move! Our deadness shall fill us with grief and with shame, So much to be loved and so little to love! 5. O kindle within us holy desire, Like that which was found in Thy people of old! Who felt all Thy love, and whose hearts were on fire, While waiting in patience Thy face to behold!

The Greatness of God in Nature

Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: My soul, bless the Lord! Lyrics: 1 My soul, bless the Lord! the Lord is most great, With glory arrayed, majestic His state; The light is His garment, the skies are His shade, And over the waters His courts He has laid. 2 He rides on the clouds, the wings of the storm, The lightning and wind His mission perform; The earth He has founded her station to keep, And wrapped as a vesture about her the deep. 3 O'er mountain and plain the dark waters raged; His voice they obeyed, the floods were assuaged; Uplifting the mountains He ordered a bound, Forbidding the waters to cover the ground. 4 He causes the springs of water to flow In streams 'mid the hills and valleys below; Beside them with singing the birds greet the day. And there the beast gather their thirst to allay.

Be Strong in the Lord

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Be strong in the Lord in armor of light Lyrics: 1 Be strong in the Lord in armor of light, with helmet and sword, with shield for the fight; on prayer be dependent, be belted and shod, in breastplate resplendent: the armor of God. 2 Integrity gird you round to impart the truth of His Word as truth in your heart; his righteousness wearing as breastplate of mail, his victory sharing, be strong to prevail. 3 With eagerness shod, stand firm in your place, or go forth for God with news of his grace; no foe shall disarm you nor force you to yield, no arrow can harm you with faith as your shield. 4 Though Satan presume to test you and try, in helmet and plume, your head shall be high; beset by temptation be true to your Lord, your helmet, salvation, and Scripture, your sword. 5 So wield well your blade, rejoice in its powers, fight on undismayed for Jesus is ours! Then in him victorious your armor lay down, to praise, ever glorious, his cross and his crown.

Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near, The waters of life are now flowing for thee: No price is demanded, the Savior is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2. Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the vale of eternity's night. 3. Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? Amen.
