Deck Thyself, My Soul, with Gladness

Author: Benjamin Schmolk Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the day-light's splendor, There with joy thy praises render Unto Him, whose grace unbounded Hath this wondrous banquet founded; High o'er all the earth He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving reverence greet Him, For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal; Open wide the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, "Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I nevermore will leave Thee." 3 He who costly goods desireth To obtain, much gold requireth; But to freely give the treasure Of Thy love is Thy good pleasure, For on earth there is no coffer Which as payment we might offer For this cup Thy blood containing, And this manna on us raining. 4 Ah! how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing; In the battle, well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth, At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Lord, Thy fervent love hath driven Thee to leave Thy throne in heaven, For us on the cross to languish, And to die in bitter anguish, To forgo all joy and gladness, And to shed Thy blood in sadness, Which we drink now; grant that never We forget Thy love, dear Saviour! 7 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee; By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love's treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me. Amen.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Appears in 1,301 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose Word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal Love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage; Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver, Never fails from age to age? 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy Name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know. Amen.

Join with the angels, welcome the Saviour Born in the flesh to be Lord of all. 3 Onward to Bethlehem, follow the wise men, Come from afar with their gifts and homage to bring. Sweeter than incense, prized more than jewels, Hearts true and loyal unto the King! Amen.

Go to Dark Gethsemane

Author: James Mongtomery Appears in 507 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's pow'r: Your Redeemer's conflict see; Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away; Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the worm-wood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss; Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own Sacrifice complete: "It is finished," hear Him cry; Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes; Saviour, teach us so to rise. Amen.

God Calling Yet

Earth's pleasures shall I still hold dear? Shall life's swift passing years all fly, And still my soul in slumbers lie? 2 God calling yet! shall I not rise? Can I His loving voice despise, And basely His kind care repay? He calls me still, can I delay? 3 God calling yet! and shall He knock And I my heart the closer lock? He still is waiting to receive, And shall I dare His Spirit grieve? 4 God calling yet! and shall I give No heed, but still in bondage live? I wait, but He does not forsake; He calls me still: my heart, awake! 5 Ah, yield Him all: in Him confide. Where but with Him doth peace abide? Break loose, let earthly bonds be riven, And let the spirit rise to heaven! 6 God calling yet! I cannot stay, My heart I yield without delay; Vain world, farewell! from thee I part; The voice of God hath reached my heart! Amen.

Approach, My Soul, the Mercy-Seat

Author: John Newton Appears in 614 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Approach, my soul, the mercy-seat, Where Jesus answers prayer; There humbly fall before His feet, For none can perish there. 2 Thy promise is my only plea, With this I venture nigh: Thou callest burdened souls to Thee, And such, O Lord, am I. 3 Bowed down beneath a load of sin, By Satan sorely pressed, By wars without and fears within, I come to Thee for rest. 4 Be Thou my Shield and Hiding-place, That, sheltered near Thy side, I may my fierce accuser face, And tell him Thou hast died. 5 O wondrous Love, to bleed and die, To bear the cross and shame, That guilty sinners such as I Might plead Thy gracious Name. Amen.

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 890 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears; The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands. 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede; His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly speak for me: "Forgive him, O forgive," they cry, "Nor let that ransomed sinner die!" 4 The Father hears Him pray, His dear Anointed One; He cannot turn away The presence of His Son: His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God. 5 My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear: He owns me for His child, I can no longer fear: With confidence I now draw nigh, And "Father, Abba Father!" cry. Amen.

By Nature Deaf to Things Divine

Author: Anna B. D. Hoppe Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By nature deaf to things divine, My ears hear not this Word of Thine, The gospel of salvation. By nature dumb to speak Thy praise, My carnal tongue doth fail to raise A song of adoration. Heal Thou me now, blest Physician, In contrition I beseech Thee, Let my prayer and pleading reach Thee. 2 I thank Thee, dear Redeemer mine, That Thou in love and power divine Thy healing word hast spoken. Thy Word indeed doth balm afford, And Thy forgiveness, dearest Lord, The power of sin hath broken. Thy Word, dear Lord, still endureth, And assureth Me, O Saviour, Of Thy everlasting favor. 3 Indeed Thou doest all things well, Incarnate God, Immanuel, Thou promised Saviour, Jesus. My ears can hear Thy Word divine. Which healeth all diseases. Till I sing Thy praise in glory, Let the story Of salvation Be my theme of adoration. Amen.
