Stand Up, O God, Be Present Now

Author: Michael Seward, b. 1932 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Stand up, O God, be present now, and all who hate you, let them run like driven smoke, like melting wax, bound for destruction, doomed to die. But let the righteous sing and dance, yes, sing and dance and shout for joy, for he who rides upon the clouds is coming, as he came of old. His justice vindicates the oppressed, he frees the pris'ner, brings him home. Refrain: Stand up, O God, be present now, and we will sing and shout for joy. 2 Stand up, O God, be present now, as once on Sinai you were heard by those who left the prison's chain, who crossed the sea and faced the sand. They ate the manna, drank from springs provided by your gracious love. They watched as mighty armies fled, and so they gained the promised land. Now, marching on to Zion's mount, we see the heav'nly hosts descend. [Refrain] 3 Stand up, O God, be present now, and we, your people, will rejoice, for you have saved us from the pit, for you have brought us back from death. So, to your holy place, we come with choirs and music, young and old. Rebuke the godless, cast them down till humbled, they for mercy call; then men shall listen for your voice as riding through the heav'ns you come.

Righteous, O Lord, Are All Thy Ways!

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Righteous, O Lord, are all Thy ways! Thy judgments in the ancient days On unrepenting sinners fell; Thy wrath descended, in a flood, On a whole world that knew not God, And swept their thoughtless souls to hell. Yet in the universal wreck, Thou didst a kind exception make, In favor of a child of Thine: Thou didst for him an ark provide, And safely with his household hide The heir of righteousness divine. 2 Thou art in every age the same, And when our crimes the vengeance claim, And when our measure is filled up; Thine anger yet again shall burn, And force them who Thy mercies spurn, To drink the bitter trembling cup. Thou, Lord, out of Thy place shalt rise, Open the windows of the skies, To plague the people of Thine ire, Thy flaming ministers employ, And terribly at last destroy, The wicked with a flood of fire. 3 Great God, if now Thy day is near, Alarm us with a sacred fear, And snatch from a devoted race, A world, who, as Thy Son foretold, Harden their hearts like those of old, And live corrupt in all their ways. They eat, they drink, they plant, they build, Their hearts, with cares and pleasures filled, No room can find for thoughts of Thee, Till the last dreadful plagues commence, And sweep their careless spirits hence Into a sad eternity. 4 But wilt Thou not Thine own secure? The men, who great distress endure, And cruel mockings for Thy sake, Who tremble at Thy tokens nigh, And to the ark of mercy fly, And Jesu’s wounds their refuge make! Surely Thou wilt Thy word fulfill, And give Thy cautioned people still, Within the sacred ark to rest; E’en now by faith we enter in, And mount above the floods of sin, Secure in our Redeemer’s breast. 5 Superior to the storms below, The various storms of human woe, Shut up in Christ we mount, we rise, Buoyed by His mighty Spirit up, Above the highest mountain’s top, Above the ruined earth, and skies. When earth and skies are all on fire, We then shall mount divinely higher, As by Elijah’s whirlwind driv’n, Triumphant o’er the blazing flood, The church, and family of God, Our ark and we shall rest in Heav’n.

Good news from Heav’n, good news for thee, There flows a pardon, full and free, To guilty sinners, through the blood Of the incarnate Son of God; He paid the debt that thou didst owe, He suffered death for thee below, He bore the wrath divine for thee, He groaned and bled on Calvary. Refrain Good news from Heav’n, good news for thee, There flows a pardon, full and free, To guilty sinners, through the blood Of the incarnate Son of God. 2. Good news from Heav’n, good news for thee, The Savior cries, Come unto Me All ye who toil, with fears oppressed; Come, weary one, oh, come and rest. He loves thee with o’erflowing love, He hears thy prayer in Heav’n above, He all thy pasture shall prepare, And lead thee with a shepherd’s care. [Refrain] 3. Good news from Heav’n, good news for thee, Has echoed from eternity; And loud shall our hosannas ring, When with the ransomed throng we sing. Worthy the Lamb, whose precious blood Has made us kings and priests to God; Our harps we’ll tune to noblest strains, And glory give to Him who reigns. [Refrain] Used With Tune: RYLE

Refrain: I praise Thy name, O God of light, For rest and safety thro’ the night; Beneath Thy wing, securely kept, I closed my eyes and sweetly slept. 2 I thank Thee, Lord, for all Thy care, For all the blessings that I share— Life, reason, health, and home, and friends, And every gift Thy goodness sends. O let me never, never cease To cherish trust and thankfulness; From Thee, Thou maker of my frame, Each undeservèd blessing came. [Refrain] 3 As numberless as stars of heaven Are the rich bounties Thou hast given, And fresh as dews, and sweet as flowers, The love that smiles on all my hours. O let me to Thy altar bring A pure and grateful offering; And let my thanks, as incense rise In Christ, a pleasing sacrifice.
