In Vain My Fancy Strives To Paint

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In vain my fancy strives to paint The moment after death; The glories that surround the saints, When yielding up their breath. 2 One gentle sigh their fetters breaks, We scarce can say, They’re gone! Before the willing spirit takes Her mansion near the throne. 3 Faith strives, but all its efforts fail, To trace her in her flight; No eye can pierce within the veil Which hides that world of light. 4 Thus much (and this is all) we know, They are completely blest; Have done with sin, and care, and woe, And with their Savior rest. 5 On harps of gold they praise His name, His face they always view; Then let us followers be of them, That we may praise Him too. 6 Their faith and patience, love and zeal, Should make their memory dear; And, Lord, do Thou the prayers fulfill, They offered for us here. 7 While they have gained, we losers are, We miss them day by day; But Thou canst every breach repair, And wipe our tears away. 8 We pray, as in Elisha’s case, When great Elijah went, May double portions of Thy grace, To us who stay, be sent.

Eternal King Of Heav'n On High

Author: Richard Mant Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Eternal King of Heav’n on high Lyrics: 1 Eternal King of Heav’n on high, Hope of Thy saints beneath, Crowned with triumphant majesty, The vanquisher of death: 2 Thou dost ascend the starry spheres, Prompt at the heav’nly call, Which, all unheard by mortal ears, Salutes Thee Lord of all: 3 That of the world, where’er they dwell, The tribes may worship Thee; And things in Heav’n, in earth, in hell, May bow the subject knee. 4 Angels behold the change with awe: How sin with flesh began, And sin by flesh subdued they saw, The conqueror God in man! 5 Do Thou from Thy celestial heights Our prize, our pleasure, prove! The world Thy subject; Thy delights All worldly joys above. 6 Thence for our sins the prayer attend, Thy pardoning grace supply, And down Thy healthful Spirit send To lift our hearts on high. 7 That when around Thy judgment seat The skies their radiance pour, Thou mayst remit our penal debt, Our forfeit crowns restore. 8 O Jesus, glory be to Thee, In Thy celestial rest, Throned with Paternal Majesty, And with the Spirit blest!

Sing, All Ye Nations, to the Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing, all ye nations, to the Lord, Sing with a joyful noise; With melody of sound record His honors and your joys. Say to the power that shakes the sky, How terrible art Thou! Sinners before Thy presence fly, Or at Thy feet they bow. 2. Come, see the wonders of our God, How glorious are His ways! In Moses’ hand He puts his rod, And cleaves the frighted seas. He made the ebbing channel dry, While Israel passed the flood; There did the church begin their joy, And triumph in their God. 3. He rules by His resistless might: Will rebel mortals dare Provoke th’Eternal to the fight, And tempt that dreadful war? O bless our God, and never cease, Ye saints, to keep His praise; He keeps our life, maintains our peace, And guides our doubtful ways. 4. Lord, Thou hast proved our suffering souls, To make our graces shine; So silver bears the burning coals, The metal to refine. Through watery deeps, and fiery ways, We march at Thy command; Led to possess the promised place By Thine unerring hand. Used With Tune: ANCYRA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear Lyrics: 1. Come, ye that fear the Lord, and hear What He has done for me; My cry for help is turned to praise, For He has set me free. Through pain and trouble Thou hast led, And humbled all our pride, But, in the end, to liberty And wealth Thy hand did guide. 2. If in my heart I sin regard, My prayer He will not hear; But truly God has heard my voice, My prayer has reached His ear. O let the Lord, our gracious God, Forever blessèd be, Who has not turned my prayer from Him, Nor yet His grace from me. 3. Here in Thy house I give to Thee The life that Thou dost bless, And pay the solemn vows I made When I was in distress. O all ye peoples, bless our God, Aloud proclaim His praise, Who safely holds our soul in life, And steadfast makes our ways.

Thou Plenteous Source Of Light And Love

Author: John H. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Thou plenteous source of light and love, Lyrics: 1 Thou plenteous source of light and love, From whom all grace proceeds, Chase from our souls the gloom of night, And make us hate its deeds: In armor clad of heavenly proof We will not fear or fly, But bravely through opposing hosts Press onward to the sky. 2 If long and doubtful seem the strife, Our pains and trials sore, Such are the ills of mortal life, And such our Savior bore: Once, humbled from His lofty throne, He dwelt in weakness here, And His has been the struggling sigh, And His the falling tear. 3 When time has run its destined course, And all our years are fled, He comes, with monarch’s pomp and power, To wake and judge the dead: Then help us, Lord, while sinners’ hearts Shall sicken with dismay, To lift our heads, and joyful hail Redemption’s perfect day.

O What a Stiff, Rebellious House

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals First Line: O what a stiff rebellious house Lyrics: 1. O what a stiff rebellious house Was Jacob’s ancient race! False to their own most solemn vows, And to their maker’s grace. They broke the covenant of His love, And did His laws despise; Forgot the works He wrought to prove His power before their eyes. 2. They saw the plagues on Egypt light From His revenging hand; What dreadful tokens of His might Spread o’er the stubborn land! They saw Him cleave the mighty sea, And marched in safety through, With watery walls to guard their way, Till they had ’scaped the foe. 3. A wondrous pillar marked the road, Composed of shade and light; By day it proved a sheltering cloud, A leading fire by night. He from the rock their thirst supplied; The gushing waters fell, And ran in rivers by their side, A constant miracle. 4. Yet they provoked the Lord most High, And dared distrust His hand: Can He with bread our host supply Amidst this desert land? The Lord with indignation heard, And caused His wrath to flame; His terrors ever stand prepared To vindicate His name. Used With Tune: ANCYRA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
