Glorious things of thee are spoken

Hymnal: BW1867 #128 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode: On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove: Who can faint while such a river Ever flows, thy thirst t' assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 'Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear, For a glory and a covering, Showing that the Lord in near: Thus deriving from their banner Light by night and shade by day; Safe they feed upon the manna Which He gives them when they pray.

Triumphant Zion! lift thy head

Hymnal: BW1867 #129 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Triumphant Zion! lift thy head From dust and darkness, and the dead! Though humbled long--awake at length, And gird thee with Thy Saviour’s strength! 2 Put all thy beauteous garments on, And let thy excellence be known; Decked in the robes of righteousness, The world thy glories shall confess. 3 No more shall foes unclean invade, And fill thy hallowed walls with dread; No more shall hell’s insulting host Their victory and thy sorrows boast. 4 God, from on high, has heard thy prayer His hand thy ruin shall repair; Nor will thy watchful Monarch cease To guard thee in eternal peace.

Oh cease, my wandering soul

Hymnal: BW1867 #130 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Oh cease, my wandering soul, On restless wing to roam; All this wide world, to either pole, Has not for thee a home! 2 Behold the ark of God; Behold the open door; Oh haste to gain that dear abode, And rove, my soul, no more! 3 There safe thou shalt abide, There sweet shall be thy rest; And every longing satisfied, With full salvation blest!

People of the living God

Hymnal: BW1867 #131 (1867) Lyrics: 1 People of the living God, I have sought the world around, Paths of sin and sorrow trod, Peace and comfort nowhere found. 2 Now to you my spirit turns-- Turns a fugitive unblest; Brethren, where your altar burns, Oh receive me into rest! 3 Lonely I no longer roam, Like the cloud, the wind, the wave; Where you dwell shall be my home, Where you die shall be my grave. 4 Mine the God whom you adore; Your Redeemer shall be mine; Earth can fill my soul no more, Every idol I resign. 5 Tell me not of gain or loss, Ease, enjoyment, pomp and power; Welcome, poverty and cross, Shame, reproach, affliction's power. 6 "Follow me!"--I know Thy voice; Jesus, Lord, Thy steps I see: Now I take Thy yoke by choice, Light's Thy burden now to me.

My God, accept my heart this day

Hymnal: BW1867 #132 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 My God, accept my heart this day And make it always Thine, That I from Thee no more may stray, No more from Thee decline. 2 Before the Cross of Him who died, Behold I prostrate fall: Let every sin be crucified, And Christ be all in all. 3 Anoint me with Thy heavenly grace, Adopt me for Thine own, That I may see Thy glorious face, And worship at Thy throne. 4 May the dear blood once shed for me, My blest atonement prove, That I from first to last may be The purchase of Thy love. 5 Let every thought, and work, and word, To Thee be ever given; Then life shall be Thy service, Lord, And death the gate of heaven.

Ere earth's foundations yet were laid

Hymnal: BW1867 #133 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Ere earth's foundations yet were laid, Or heaven's fair roof was spread abroad; Ere man a living soul was made, Love stirred within the heart of God. 2 Thy loving counsel gave to me True life in Christ, Thy only Son, Whom thou hast made my way to Thee, From whom all grace flows ever down. 3 Oh Love, that long ere time began, This precious name of child bestowed; That opened heaven on earth to man, And called us sinners "sons of God!" 4 I am not worthy, Lord, that Thou Shouldst such compassion on me show, That He who made the world should bow To cheer with love a wretch so low. 5 Could I but honor Thee aright, Noble and sweet my song should be; That earth and heaven should learn Thy might, And what my God hath done for me.

Praise to the Redeemer

Hymnal: BW1867 #134 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Plunged in a gulf of dark despair Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope, Or spark of glimmering day. 2 With pitying eyes, the Prince of Grace Beheld our helpless grief, He saw, and (O amazing love!) He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above With joyful haste He fled, Entered the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 He spoiled the powers of darkness thus, And brake our iron chains; Jesus hath freed our captive souls From everlasting pains. 5 Oh for this love let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour’s praises speak. 6 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes His love can ne’er be told.

Grace! 'tis a charming sound!

Hymnal: BW1867 #136 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Grace, ’tis a charming sound! Harmonious to the ear! Heaven with the echo shall resound, And all the earth shall hear. 2 Grace first contrived the way To save rebellious man; And all the means that grace display Which drew the wondrous plan. 3 Grace led my roving feet To tread the heavenly road; And new supplies, each hour, I meet, While pressing on to God. 4 Grace all the work shall crown, Through everlasting days; It lays in heaven the topmost stone, And well deserves the praise.

What is the thing of greatest price

Hymnal: BW1867 #137 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What is the thing of greatest price The whole creation round? That which was lost in Paradise, That which in Christ is found. 2 The soul of man--Jehovah's breath, That keeps two worlds at strife; Hell moves beneath to work its death; Heaven stoops to give it life. 3 God, to reclaim it, did not spare His well-beloved Son; Jesus, to save it, deigned to bear The sins of all in one. 4 And is this treasure borne below, In earthly vessels frail? Can none its utmost value know, Till flesh and spirit fail? 5 Then let us gather round the cross, This knowledge to obtain; Not by the soul's eternal loss, But everlasting gain.
