Crown With Thy Benediction

Author: John B. Greenwood, 1832-1905 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Crown with Thy benediction This covenant of love; And make this hallowed union Foretaste of Heaven above: Let pure and perfect gladness, Let pure and perfect rest, And peace that knows no sadness, Thy presence, Lord, attest. 2 As once in Eden’s springtime, As once at Cana’s feast, So consecrate this bridal— Be Thou its guest and priest! With sunshine wreathe the altar, Chase every cloud away, Nor let their voices falter, Who plight their troth today. 3 God bless the bride and bridegroom, And fill with joy their life, Keep them, through all its changes, True husband, faithful wife! If Thou wilt smile upon them, They shalt not need the sun, This thought their heart rejoicing— Henceforth, not twain but one. With Thy great love befriend them, The love that casts out fear; And make a rainbow round them For every falling tear: Till, all their sheaves well-garnered, Heaven’s harvest home they raise, Where love, that knows no ending, Inspires more perfect praise. Used With Tune: SEASONS (Mendelssohn)

By Faith I View My Savior Dying

Author: Richard Jukes Appears in 128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By faith I view my Savior dying, On the tree; on the tree; To every nation He is crying, Look to Me! Look to Me! He bids the guilty now draw near, Repent, believe, dismiss their fear; Hark! hark! what precious words I hear! Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! 2 Did Christ, when I was sin pursuing, Pity me? Pity me? And did He snatch my soul from ruin? Can it be? Can it be? O yes! He did salvation bring: He is my prophet, priest and king; And now my happy soul can sing, Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! 3 Jesus my weary soul refreshes; Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! And every moment Christ is precious Unto me! Unto me! None can describe the bliss I prove, While through this wilderness I rove; All may enjoy the Savior’s love, Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! 4 Jesus, the mighty God, hath spoken Peace to me, peace to me; Now all my chains of sin are broken— I am free, I am free; Soon as I in His name believed, The Holy Spirit I received, And Christ from death my soul retrieved; Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! 5 This precious truth, ye sinners, hear it— Mercy’s free, mercy’s free! Ye ministers of God, declare it— Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! Visit the heathen’s dark abode, Proclaim to all the love of God, And spread the glorious news abroad— Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! 6 Long as I live I’ll still be crying, Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! And this shall be my theme when dying, Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! And when the vale of death I’ve passed, When lodged above the stormy blast, I’ll sing, while endless ages last, Mercy’s free! Mercy’s free! Used With Tune: DULCIANA

Enthroned Amid the Seraphim

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Enthroned amid the seraphim, Where countless roll the wheels of time, Celestial light, almighty power! Burst forth in this afflictive hour! Effulgent, shine upon our race! Thy ancient mercies, Lord, retrace! 2 From superstition’s dark domain, From persecution’s cruel reign, When erst a tender vine was brought, With joys exuberantly fraught; In regions wrapped in destiny, It rose and bloomed, a lovely tree! 3 Its shade the mountains overspread; Its root, by bubbling fountains fed, Nor drought, nor desert, could arrest; Its branches filled the farthest west: Beside a thousand flowery banks, Its clusters swelled in glowing ranks. 4 Now torn and prostrate its defense, Despoiled of its magnificence, The savage hunter treads it down; It fades beneath a tyrant’s frown; The sword destroys, the fire devours, The Deity in darkness lours! 5 Ah! why deserted of our God? His vineyard, why a field of blood? Return, O God of hosts, return! Thy ravaged, slaughtered church discern! Behold, and victory impart! Thine, ever Thine, shall be our heart!

Blush, Atheists, Blush

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Blush, atheists, blush, your airy schemes Lyrics: 1 Blush, atheists, blush, your airy schemes, Your chance, and atoms, are but dreams: Science in vain you proudly boast, In error’s endless mazes lost. 2 Nature survey, the mighty whole From north to southern distant pole: Heav’n, earth and seas, and worlds of light For ages hid from human sight. 3 Say then, could chance this fabric rear So great, so good, so wondrous fair? Could chance the heav’nly bodies move, And in strict order bid them rove? 4 Does chance the various seasons rule, The blooming spring, the autumn cool? Bid summer’s heat enrich the year And winter pinch with frosts severe? 5 Sways chance the empire of the main? Can chance its proudest waves restrain? Command the senseless tides to flow? Of teach the ebb its hour to know? 6 What is all nature but design? Her works, but skill and power divine? The God we see in every form, From the archangel to the worm. 7 The wondrous scale of beings view, Their nice gradations close pursue; Deny then, skeptic, if you can A proper place assigned for man. 8 Man, know thyself, thy rank well know, And pay the mighty debt you owe; The God adore, who did inspire Your frame with an immortal fire. 9 Man, view thy soul, nor let it be A slave when God would have it free; Nor be it said that brutes obey, Whilst man rejects his maker’s sway.
