Let All The God Of Daniel Praise

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #10939 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Person Name: Charles Wesley Lyrics: 1 Let all the God of Daniel praise Almighty to redeem, Who saves, as in the ancient days, The men that trust in Him. He hath the great deliverance wrought, His angel sent again, And shut the lions’ mouths, and brought Us up out of their den. 2 Give glory to Elijah’s God, Elijah’s God and ours, Who hath around His servants stood, With all His heavenly powers: Beset we were by Satan’s host, In human shape concealed; He baffled their tyrannic boast, And all their fury quelled. 3 The God who saved the faithful three Let every soul admire; We, too, have seen the Deity, And walked unburnt in fire: Called down by faith, from Heaven He came, The Son of Man we knew: He kept us in the lambent flame, And strangely brought us through. 4 The floods with horrid discord raged, And lifted up their voice: Jehovah on our side engaged, And stilled their angry noise; His Word rebuked the swelling sea, Nor suffered it to o’erflow, "Hither proceed, allowed by Me, But dare no further go." 5 Thou, Lord, beyond their reach didst bear And sweetly hide above, The objects of Thy guardian care, And providential love: Thou didst the alien host defeat, And blast their vain design To slay, or shamefully intreat A messenger of Thine. 6 For this with all Thy saints we praise Thy majesty and power, And tell the wonders of Thy grace, ’Till time shall be no more. For this in sounds of glorious joy We shall our Savior own, And all eternity employ In hymns around Thy throne. Languages: English Tune Title: CLEANSING FOUNTAIN

Light Of Life, Seraphic Fire

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #10989 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Person Name: Charles Wesley Lyrics: 1 Light of life, seraphic fire, Love divine, Thyself impart; Every fainting soul inspire, Shine in every drooping heart; Every mournful sinner cheer, Scatter all our guilty gloom, Son of God, appear, appear! To Thy human temples come. 2 Come in this accepted hour, Bring Thy heav’nly kingdom in; Fill us with Thy glorious power, Rooting out the seeds of sin; Nothing more can we require, We will covet nothing less; Be Thou all our hearts’ desire, All our joy and all our peace. 3 Whom but Thee have we in Heav’n? Whom have we on earth but Thee? Only Thou to us be giv’n, All beside is vanity; Grant us love, we ask no more; Every other gift remove; Pleasure, fame, and wealth, and power, Still we all enjoy in love.

Our Joy Is A Created Good

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: CYBER #11014 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Lyrics: 1 Our joy is a created good; How soon it fades away! Fades, at the morning hour bestowed, Before the noon of day. 2 Joy, by its violent excess, To certain ruin tends, And all our rapturous happiness In hasty sorrow ends. 3 In vain doth earthly bliss afford A momentary shade; It rises like the prophet’s gourd, And withers o’er my head. 4 But of my Savior’s love possessed, No more for earth I pine; Secure of everlasting rest Beneath the heavenly vine.

Caught By Th'Almighty Hand

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: CYBER #11020 Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Person Name: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 First Line: Caught by th’Almighty hand Lyrics: 1 Caught by th’Almighty hand, That Spirit of the Lord, Carried beyond myself I stand, A witness of His Word; I see the book unsealèd, Least of the prophets’ sons, I mark Ezekiel’s valley filled With visionary bones! 2 Many they are and dry, Spread through the open vale, Millions of lifeless souls they lie Within the Christian pale: I pass the churches through, The scattered bones I see, And Christendom appears in view A hideous Calvary. 3 Can these dry bones perceive The quickening power of grace, Or Christian infidels retrieve The life of righteousness? All-good, almighty Lord, Thou know’st Thine own design, The virtue of Thine own great Word, The energy divine. 4 Now for Thy mercy’s sake, Let Thy great Word proceed, Dispensed by whom Thou wilt, to wake The spiritually dead; Send forth to prophesy Thy chosen messenger, And Thou the Gospel word apply, And force the world to hear. 5 "Hear, ye dry bones, and feel The word of truth and grace: I will in you Myself reveal, I will your spirits raise," Jehovah speaks the word! The promise is for you, Ye shall be gradually restored, And fashioned all anew. 6 Lord, while at Thy command Thy servants prophesy, O let it spread through every land The sound of Jesus nigh! The dead professors shake, And with Thy quickening breath, Dispose their senseless souls to wake Out of the sleep of death. Languages: English Tune Title: ALFORD

How Beautiful His Feet Appear

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #11100 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Charles Wesley Lyrics: 1 How beautiful His feet appear High on the mountain tops, who brings Glad tidings of salvation near, Salvation from the King of kings! 2 Who publishes the joyful sound, Proclaims a peace ’twixt earth and Heaven, A ransom for the sinner found, God reconciled, and man forgiven. 3 That says to Israel’s mournful race, "Awake, arise, shake off thy chains"; Believe the word of Gospel grace, Thy God, thy great Redeemer reigns. 4 Thy watchmen shall the voice lift up, Shall sing with gladsome melody, Object of all their joy and hope, When eye to eye their Lord they see. 5 Him, eye to eye, shall they behold, Shall shout to see the Savior come, To save a world redeemed of old, To bring the weary captives home. 6 Break forth in joy, your gladness sing, Employ your all for Christ, your king; Rejoice, and Him Messiah claim: Bestowing praise, live in His name. 7 For Christ the Lord doth comfort man, Erases sin with mighty hand: To Heav’n we rise from from Adam’s fall: His life He gave to ransom all. 8 His arm He bared, in mercy, grace, Prepared a pardon for our race; His merit, shown to all men’s sight, We may inherit as our right. 9 The Gentiles hear the saving call: His grace appears and visits all; A common ransom doth belong To every nation, tribe and, tongue.

Let The World Lament Their Dead

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #11101 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Person Name: Charles Wesley Lyrics: 1 Let the world lament their dead, As sorrowing without hope; When a friend of ours is freed, We cheerfully look up, Cannot murmur or complain, For our dead we cannot grieve, Death to them, to us, is gain; In Jesus we believe. 2 We believe that Christ our head For us resigned His breath, He was numbered with the dead, And dying conquered death; Burst the barriers of the tomb: Death could Him no longer keep, He is the first-fruits become Of those in Him that sleep. 3 God, who Him to life restored, Shall all His members raise, Bring them quickened with their Lord, The children of His grace. We who then on earth remain, Shall not sooner be brought home; All the dead shall rise again To meet the general doom. 4 Jesus, faithful to His word, Shall with a shout descend; All Heaven’s host their glorious Lord Shall pompously attend; Christ shall come with dreadful noise, Lightnings swift, and thunders loud, With the great archangel’s voice, And with the trump of God. 5 First the dead in Christ shall rise; Then we who yet remain Shall be caught up to the skies, And see our Lord again; We shall meet Him in the air, All rapt up to Heaven shall be, See, and love, and praise Him there To all eternity. 6 Who can tell the happiness This glorious hope affords! Joy unuttered we possess In these reviving words: Happy while on earth we breathe, Mightier bliss ordained to know, Trampling upon sin and death, To the third Heaven we go.

Comfort, Ye Ministers Of Grace

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #11102 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Charles Wesley Lyrics: 1 Comfort, ye ministers of grace, Comfort the people of your Lord, Oh! lift ye up the fallen race, And cheer them by the Gospel word. 2 Go, into every nation, go! Speak to their trembling hearts, and cry, Glad tidings unto all we show; Jerusalem, thy God is nigh. 3 Accomplished is thy legal war, The mantle o’er thy sins is spread; Thy God the punishment hath bore, Thy God the debt hath more than paid. 4 Punished thou art, for He hath died The merit of His death is thine, Absolved, and freely justified, And clothed in righteousness divine. 5 Hark, in the wilderness a cry, A voice that loudly calls, "Prepare!" Prepare your hearts, for God is nigh, And means to make His entrance there. 6 The Lord your God shall quickly come: Sinners, repent, the call obey; Open your hearts to make Him room, Ye desert souls, prepare His way. 7 The Lord shall clear His way thro’ all, Whate’er obstructs, obstructs in vain; The vale shall rise, the mountain fall, Crooked be straight, and rugged plain. 8 Nature perverse and rough shall yield, Th’aspiring droop, the abject dare; Alike by sovereign grace compelled, Despair shall hope, and pride despair. 9 When all into subjection brought Level shall lie, and humbly low, Who captivated every thought, His glory then the Lord shall show. 10 The glory of the Lord displayed Together all mankind shall view; And what His mouth in truth hath said, His own almighty hand shall do.

Withering As Grass Is Humankind

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #11103 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Charles Wesley Lyrics: 1 Withering as grass is humankind, And fleeting as the short lived flower; The goodliness today we find Tomorrow fades, and is no more. 2 Man, foolish man, his virtue shows, Which for a moment charms our eyes; The sin-convincing Spirit blows, Withers the flower, and fades, and dies. 3 Die the gay flower of human pride: The Word of God shall stand secure; The Word of God shall still abide, And firm from age to age endure. 4 Sion, ascend the mountain top, Jerusalem, the grace proclaim; Herald of God, thy voice lift up, And strongly shout the Savior’s name. 5 Good tidings show to Judah’s race, Publish throughout the earth abroad Good tidings of redeeming grace, And cry to all, "Behold your God!" 6 Behold, the Lord your God shall come, And bow the world to His command; HIs outstretched arm shall make Him room: Who can His outstretched arm withstand? 7 Lo! an exceeding great reward, Himself, to humbled souls He gives; He fills whom first He has prepared, And all in all for ever lives. 8 Shepherd of souls, His tender care Shall kindly for His flock provide; The lambs He in His arms shall bear, And sweetly in His bosom hide. 9 His sheep He shall protect, and feed, Bind up the maimed, support the weak; The great with young shall gently lead, And seek the lost, and heal the sick.

Say Then, Ye Worms Of Earth

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #11104 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Charles Wesley First Line: Say then, ye worms of earth, to whom Lyrics: 1 Say then, ye worms of earth, to whom Will ye your glorious God compare? Vainly thro’ all His works ye roam, And find Jehovah’s likeness there. 2 The vile idolater belies His image with a golden shrine, To counterfeit the Godhead tries; And stocks and stones become divine. 3 Man his own deity reveres By self delight, and self esteem, Whate’er the sinner hopes, or fears Desires, or loves, is God to him. 4 But have ye not His being known, And clearly seen by nature’s light? Have not the ancient fathers shown, And you confessed the Infinite? 5 The heavens His glorious power proclaim, Th’invisible on earth is showed; Nature is written with His name, And all things speak their builder God. 6 Creation to His law submits, His rule He over all maintains, High on the globe of Heaven He sits, And undisturbed for ever reigns. 7 Th’ inhabitants of earth from thence, As grasshoppers His eye beholds; His hand, and power, and providence The curtain of the heavens unfolds. 8 ’Tis He who stretched them out, ’tis He Who still the wide pavilion spreads, That blue ethereal canopy, And draws it o’er His creatures’ heads. 9 Princes and kings that dare withstand Their uncontrolled Creator’s sway, Shall sink behind His mighty hand, And fall, and fade, and die away. 10 Planted awhile, or sown below, Their stock accursed shall ne’er take root; The Lord upon their pride shall blow, Wither the flower, and blast the fruit. 11 Say then, ye abject worms, to whom Will ye your glorious God compare? Who shall His holiness presume To match, or who His power shall dare? 12 Lift up your eyes to things on high, Nor fix on earth your groveling thought; Who built yon azure vaulted sky? Who spoke those beauteous orbs from naught? 13 God only wise, and great, and strong, Made them to run their heavenly race; Knowledge and might to God belong, Honor, and majesty and praise. 14 Their radiant hosts He marshals right, Their nature, names and number knows; He bids them in their courses fight, And blast their great Creator’s foes. 15 They hear, and each His will performs, And lo! to man they ever call, "Lift up your eyes, ye abject worms, Adore the glorious Cause of All!"

The World He Made He Still Sustains

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #11105 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Charles Wesley Lyrics: 1 The world He made He still sustains, When then dost thou, O Israel, say, "My God forgets His people’s pains; His Jacob is a castaway"? 2 Repent thee of thy peevish haste, Recall the rash desponding word, No more complain, "The hour is past, And I have wearied out my Lord." 3 Hast thou not heard, hast thou not known, The everlasting God, that laid The earth’s foundations, rules alone, Nor faints to bear the world He made? 4 Jehovah is unchangeable, His ways, and thought, are not as ours, He cheers the languid souls that fail, And quickens all their drooping powers. 5 Gently He lifts the fallen up, He gives them faith, and faith’s increase, Revives their feeble, dying hope, And fills with love, and joy and peace. 6 Blasted, the vigor of the young Shall fade, and suddenly decay; The bold, and confident, and strong, Shall fear, despair, and die away. 7 But they who wait upon the Lord Shall surely find His promise true, Receive the quickening powerful Word, And, born of God, their strength renew. 8 Their willing souls from sin set free, Shall swiftly in His statutes move, Shall walk in glorious liberty, Shall fly upon the wings of love. 9 With eagle’s wings their souls shall rise, Steady and strong to Heaven soar, Regain on earth their native skies, And faint, and fall, and sin no more.
