Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-78 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 140 hymnals First Line: Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding! Lyrics: 1 Hark! A thrilling voice is sounding!
"Christ is near," we hear it say.
"Cast away the works of darkness,
All you children of the day!"
2 Startled at the solemn warning,
Let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, its sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
3 See, the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heav'n.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all, to be forgiv'n:
4 So, when next He comes in glory
And the world is wrapped in fear,
He will shield us with His mercy
And with words of love draw near.
5 Honor, glory, might, dominion
to the Father and the Son
With the ever-living Spirit
While eternal ages run! Topics: End Times Scripture: Luke 1:76-79 Used With Tune: MERTON Text Sources: Latin, c. 5th-10th cent.

Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 951 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us: o'er the tumult
of our life's wild restless sea,
day by day his sweet voice soundeth,
saying, 'Christian, follow me':
2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it
by the Galilean lake,
turned from home and toil and kindred
leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store,
from each idol that would keep us,
saying, 'Christian, love me more.'
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
days of toil and hours of ease,
still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
that we love him more than these.
5 Jesus calls us: by thy mercies,
Saviour, make us hear thy call,
give our hearts to thine obedience,
serve and love thee best of all. Topics: Saints St. Andrew Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:9 Used With Tune: MERTON

Mighty God, while angels bless Thee
Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7 Appears in 288 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless Thee,
May a mortal lisp Thy Name?
Lord of men, as well as angels,
Thou art every creature’s theme.
2 Lord of every land and nation,
Ancient of eternal days!
Sounded through the wide creation
Be Thy just and lawful praise.
3 For the grandeur of Thy nature.
Grand beyond a seraph’s thought;
For created works of power,
Works with skill and kindness wrought:
4 For Thy Providence, that governs
Through thine empire's wide domain,
Wings an angel, guides a sparrow:
Blessed by Thy gentle reign.
5 But Thy rich, Thy free Redemption,
Dark through brightness all along--
Thought is poor, and poor expression:
Who dare sing that awful song!
6 From the highest throne in glory
To the Cross of deepest woe!
All to ransom guilty captives!
Flow, my praise, for ever flow.

Jesus, thou art mine forever
Author: Matthias Loy, 1826 - 1915 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, thou art mine forever,
Dearer far than earth to me;
Neither life nor death shall sever
Those sweet ties which bind to thee.
2 Thou alone art all my treasure,
Who hast died that I might live;
Thou conferest noblest pleasure,
Who dost all my sins forgive.
3 Brightest gems and fairest flowers
Lose their beauty in thy frown;
Joy and peace, like balmy showers,
In thy smile come gently down. A-men.
4 Lamb of God! I do implore thee,
Guard, support me, lest I fall;
Let me evermore adore thee;
Be my everlasting All.
Amen.

Lord, a Saviour's love displaying
Author: E. Hawkins Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, a Saviour's love displaying,
Show the heathen lands Thy way;
Thousands still like sheep are straying
In the dark and cloudy day.
2 Shades of death are gathering o'er them,
Lord, they perish from Thy sight!
Let Thine angel go before them;
Bring the Gentiles to Thy light.
3 Fetch them home from every nation,
From the islands of the sea;
By the word of Thy salvation
Call the wanderers back to Thee.
4 Thou their pasture hast provided,
Grant the blessing long foretold;
Let Thy sheep, divinely guided,
Find at last the one true fold.
Amen.
