The head that once was crowned with thorns
Take comfort, Christians, when your friends
Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take comfort, Christians, when your friends
in Jesus fall asleep;
their better being never ends;
why then dejected weep?
2 Why inconsolable, as those
to whom no hope is giv’n?
Death is the messenger of peace,
and calls the soul to heav’n.
3 As Jesus dy'd, and rose again
victorious from the dead;
so his disciples rise, and reign
with their triumphant Head.
4 The time draws nigh, when from the clouds
Christ shall with shouts descend,
and the last trumpet’s awful voice
the heavens and earth shall rend.
5 Then they who live shall changed be,
and they who sleep shall wake;
the graves shall yield their ancient charge,
and earth’s foundations shake.
6 The saints of God, from death set free,
with joy shall mount on high;
the heav’nly hosts with praises loud
shall meet them in the sky,
7 Together to their Father’s house
with joyful hearts they go;
and dwell for ever with the Lord,
beyond the reach of woe.
8 A few short years of evil past,
we reach the happy shore,
where death-divided friends at last
shall meet, to part no more. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Used With Tune: CORONA
Take comfort, Christians, when your friends
Had not the Lord been on our side
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord been on our side,
may Israel now say;
2 Had not the Lord been on our side,
when men rose us to slay;
3 alive they had us swallowed then
in rage beyond control;
4 the waters had us overwhelmed,
the stream gone o'er our soul.
had sunk beneath the stream.
5 Then had the waters swelling high
over our soul made way.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who to their teeth
us gave not for a prey.
7 Our soul’s escaped, as a bird
out of the fowler’s snare;
the snare asunder broken is,
and we escaped are.
8 Our sure and all-sufficient help
is in Jehovah’s name;
his name who did the heaven create,
and who the earth did frame.
Scripture: Psalm 124 Used With Tune: CORONA
Had not the Lord been on our side
When Israel out of Egypt went
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt went,
and did his dwelling change,
when Jacob’s house went out from those
that were of language strange,
2 Judah became his holy place,
Israel his own domain;
3 the sea beheld, and quickly fled,
Jordan turned back again.
4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs
the hills skipped to and fro.
5 O sea, why fledd’st thou? Jordan, back
why wast thou driven so?
6 Ye mountains great, wherefore was it
that ye did skip like rams?
And wherefore was it, little hills,
that ye did leap like lambs?
7 O at the presence of the Lord,
earth, tremble thou for fear,
what time the presence of the God
of Jacob doth appear:
8 who in the desert from the rock
did pools of water bring;
and by his power did turn the flint
into a water-spring. Scripture: Psalm 114 Used With Tune: CORONA
When Israel out of Egypt went
Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons
that of the mighty be,
all strength and glory to the Lord
with cheerfulness give ye.
2 O give ye glory to the Lord,
and his great name adore;
and in the beauty of holiness
bow down the Lord before.
3 The Lord’s voice on the waters is;
the God of majesty
doth thunder, and on multitudes
of waters sitteth he.
4 A mighty voice it is that comes
out from the Lord most high;
the voice of that great Lord is full
of glorious majesty.
5 The voice of the Eternal doth
asunder cedars tear;
Jehovah doth the cedars break
that Lebanon doth bear.
6 He makes them like a calf to skip,
even that great Lebanon,
and, like to a young unicorn,
the mountain Sirion.
7 The Lord’s voice cleaves the flames of fire;
8 the desert it doth shake:
the Lord doth make the wilderness
of Kadesh all to quake.
9 The Lord’s voice makes the hinds to calve,
it makes the forest bare:
and in his temple every one
his glory doth declare.
10 The Lord sat on the flood; the Lord
sits King, and ever shall.
11 The Lord will give his people strength,
and with peace bless them all. Scripture: Psalm 29 Used With Tune: CORONA
Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons
