Holy, holy, holy Lord
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: BWHT1899 #185 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of hosts, eternal King,
By the heavens and earth adored;
Angels and archangels sing,
Chanting everlastingly
To the blessed Trinity.
2 Thousands, tens of thousands stand,
Spirits blest, before thy throne,
Speeding thence at Thy command,
And, when Thy commands is done,
Singing everlastingly
To the blessèd Trinity.
3 Cherubim and seraphim
Vail their faces with their wings;
Eyes of angels are too dim
To behold the King of kings,
While they sing eternally
To the blessèd Trinity.
4 Thee apostles, prophets Thee,
Thee the noble martyr band,
Praise with solemn jubilee,
Thee, the Church in every land;
Singing everlastingly
To the blessèd Trinity.
5 Hallelujah! Lord, to Thee,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost;
Godhead one, and Persons three;
Join we with the heavenly host,
Singing everlastingly
To the blessèd Trinity.

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;

Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;

Perfect in power, in love and purity.

Dost refreshing peace bestow;

Pleasant coolness in the heat;
Solace in the midst of woe.

Visit Thou these hearts of Thine,
And our inmost being fill:
If Thou take Thy grace away,
Nothing pure in man will stay;
All his good is turned to ill.

Thee confess and Thee adore,
In Thy sevenfold gifts, descend:
Give them comfort when they die,
Give them life with Thee on high,
Give them joys that never end.

Hosanna to the royal Son
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #112 (1899) Lyrics: 1 Hosanna to the royal Son
Of David's ancient line,
His natures two, His person one,
Mysterious and divine,
Mysterious and divine.
2 The root of David, here we find,
And offspring is the same:
Eternity and time are joined
In our Immanuel's name.
3 Blest He that comes to wretched men
With peaceful news from heaven;
Hosannas of the highest strain
To Christ the Lord be given.
4 Let mortals ne'er refuse to take
Th'hosanna on their tongues,
Lest rocks and stones should rise, and break
Their silence into songs.

Hosanna to the royal Son
Hosanna with a cheerful sound
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #14 (1899) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hosanna with a cheerful sound
To God's upholding hand!
Ten thousand snares our path surround,
And yet secure we stand.
2 How wondrous is that mighty power
Which formed us with a word!
And every day and every hour,
We lean upon the Lord.
3 The rising morn cannot assure
That we shall end the day;
For death stands ready at the door
To take our lives away.
4 God is our Sun, whose daily light
Our joy and safety brings;
Our feeble flesh lies safe at night
Beneath His sheltering wings.
Amen. Topics: God Providence of; Morning; Providence Languages: English Tune Title: WINCHESTER

How are Thy servants blest, O Lord!

How sure is their defence!
Eternal Wisdom is their guide,

2 Though by the dreadful tempest tossed
High on the broken wave,
They know Thou art not slow to hear,
Nor impotent to save,
Nor impotent to save.
3 The storm is laid, the winds retire,
Obedient to Thy will;
The sea, that roars at Thy command,
At Thy command is still,
At Thy command is still.
4 In midst of dangers, fears and death,
Thy goodness I'll adore;
And praise Thee for Thy mercies past,
And humbly hope for more,
And humbly hope for more.
5 My life, while Thou preserv'st my life,
Thy sacrifice shall be;
And oh, may death, when death shall come,
Unite my soul to Thee!
Unite my soul to Thee!

And words of peace reveal.

How sweet the tidings are!
"Zion, behold thy Saviour King;
He reigns and triumphs here."

Which kings and prophets waited for,
And sought, but never found!

Through all the earth abroad;
Let all the nations now behold
Their Saviour and their God.
Amen.

So pure, so made to live in light?

Was pang, and scoff, and scorn to Thee;

Illuming all this way of woe!
And give me ever on the road
To trace Thy footsteps, Son of God!

How blest the righteous when he dies!
Author: Anna L. Barbauld Hymnal: BWHT1899 #567 (1899) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies!
When sinks a weary soul to rest!
How mildly beam the closing eyes!
How gently heaves t'expiring breast!
2 So fades a summer cloud away;
So sinks the gale when storms are o’er;
So gently shuts the eye of day;
So dies a wave along the shore.
3 A holy quiet reigns around,
A calm which life nor death destroys;
And nought disturbs that peace profound
Which his unfettered soul enjoys.
4 Life’s labor done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies,
While heaven and earth combine to say,
“How blest the righteous when he dies!”

How calm and beautiful the morn
Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: BWHT1899 #265 (1899) Lyrics: 1 How calm and beautiful the morn
That gilds the sacred tomb,
Where once the Crucified was borne,
And veiled in midnight gloom.
Oh, weep no more the Saviour slain,
The Lord is risen, He lives again.
2 Ye mourning saints, dry every tear
For your departed Lord:
"Behold the place, He is not here,"
The tomb is all unbarred;
The gates of death were closed in vain,
The Lord is risen, He lives again.
3 How tranquil now the rising day!
'Tis Jesus still appears,
A risen Lord, to chase away
Your unbelieving fears:
Oh, weep no more your comforts slain,
The Lord is risen, He lives again.
4 And when the shades of evening fall,
When life's last hour draws nigh,
If Jesus shine upon the soul,
How blissful then to die;
Since He has risen that once was slain,
Ye die in Christ to live again.

How calm and beautiful the morn
How condescending and how kind
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: BWHT1899 #138 (1899) Lyrics: 1 How condescending and how kind
Was God's eternal son!
Our misery reached His heavenly mind,
And pity brought Him down.
2 This was compassion like a God,
That when the Saviour knew
The price of pardon was His blood,
His pity ne'er withdrew.
3 Now, though He reigns exalted high,
His love is still as great:
Well He remembers Calvary,
Nor should His saints forget.
4 Here we receive repeated seals
Of Jesus' dying love:
Hard is the heart that never feels
One soft affection move.
5 Here let our hearts begin to melt,
While we His death record,
And with our joy for pardoned guilt,
Mourn that we pierced the Lord.

In poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth,
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be,
As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be.
3 "Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed;
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine,
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
5 "E'en down to old age, all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when gray hairs shall their temples adorn
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.

I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never--no, never--no, never forsake!"

And her rewards more precious are

In pleasure's path to tread;
A crown of glory she bestows
Upon the aged head,
Upon the aged head.

So her rewards increase;
Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
And all her paths are peace.

How vast our souls' affairs!
Yet senseless mortals vainly strive
To lavish out their years,

Without a moment's stay;
Just like a story, or a song
We pass our lives away,
We pass our lives away.
3 God from on high invites us home,
But we march heedless on,
And ever hastening to the tomb,
Stoop downwards as we run,
Stoop downwards as we run.
4 How we deserve the deepest hell,
That slight the joys above!
What chains of vengeance should we feel,
That break such cords of love!
That break such cords of love!
5 Draw us, O Saviour, with Thy grace,
And lift our thoughts on high,
That we may end this mortal race,
And see salvation nigh,
And see salvation nigh.

How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton Hymnal: BWHT1899 #165 (1899) Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
In a believer's ear!
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds,
And drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast;
'Tis manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary, rest.
3 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build,
My Shield and Hiding Place:
My never-failing Treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace.
4 By Him my prayers acceptance gain,
Although with sin defiled;
Satan accuses me in vain,
And I am owned a child.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thoughts;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim,
With every fleeting breath;
And may the music of Thy name
Refresh my soul in death.
Amen.

Still keep me in Thy faithful host,
So unto Thee I live and die,
And praise Thee evermore on high.

Where partings are unknown.
