Go Up, Go Up, My Heart

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go up, go up, my heart, Dwell with thy God above; For here thou canst not rest, Nor here give out thy love. 2 Go up, go up, my heart! Be not a trifler here; Ascend above these clouds, Dwell in a higher sphere. 3 Let not thy love flow out To things so soiled and dim; Go up to Heav’n and God; Take up thy love to Him. 4 Waste not thy precious stores On pleasure here below: To God that wealth belongs; On Him that wealth bestow. 5 Go up, reluctant heart! Take up thy rest above; Arise, earth-clinging thoughts; Ascend, my lingering love! Used With Tune: ARRAN Text Sources: Church Music by Leonard W. Bacon (Rochester, NY: E. Durrow & Brother, 1855)

The Day Of The Lord

Author: Unknown; Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Give ear, O earth, give ear! Lyrics: 1 Give ear, O earth, give ear! Depths of the mighty sea! Give ear, O man! Give ear, All ’neath the sun that be! 2 The day of wrath draws near, The dreadful day of doom; The sinner’s bitter day, It maketh haste to come. 3 Then shall these ancient skies Roll up and pass away; The sun shall blush, and hide Its face in dread dismay. 4 The moon shall change and flee; The noon grow dark as night; The stars shall fall to earth In wild and sore affright. 5 Alas! alas! alas! To whom, in that great day, Shall the sad sinner flee, On whom for refuge stay? 6 Lost, lost, for ever lost! "Too late! too late!" he cries; Lost, lost, for ever lost! The second death he dies. 7 O Jesu, save and bless, O Son of God on high: Then safe in Thee we live, And safe in Thee we die. 8 Safe to the holy hills, Safe to the city blest; Safe from the toil below, Thou leadest to Thy rest. Used With Tune: ARRAN Text Sources: Hymns of Faith and Hope 2nd series (London, James Nisbet, 1861); Latin

Once To Our World There Came

Author: Elizabeth Strafford Meter: 6.6.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Once to our world there came A little holy child; Gentle and good and mild, And Jesus was His name. 2 He suffered want and pain, Was slighted, scorned, and poor; All this He did endure, That we in Heaven might reign. 3 He never disobeyed His Father’s sacred laws; We only were the cause Why grief on Him was laid. 4 O! that indeed we could Our naughty ways forsake And for our pattern take The Savior kind and good. 5 The path that Jesus trod, O may we also tread! Jesus, our living head, Lead Thou us up to God. Used With Tune: ARRAN Text Sources: Hymns for the Collects Throughout the Year 1857
