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.

Ring out the name of Jesus

Author: Eliza E. Hewitt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ring out the name of Jesus, Let all the people know ’Tis Christ, our Lord and Savior, Who overcomes the foe. We follow at His bidding, We trust in Him alone, And lift our loud hosannas To Him upon the throne. 2 We lift His blood stained banner, His precious name we bear, And pressing to the conflict, The Gospel armor wear. The shield of faith we carry, In battling for the right, His Word of truth our weapon, His strength our only might. 3 He knows the dangers round us, He knows the hidden snare; Wherever He shall lead us, Is safety, only there. The power of His salvation Our joyful song shall be; We’ll watch and work for Jesus, His servants glad and free. Used With Tune: MYRTLE BEACH Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F.

O God, Today We May Forget

Author: Nellie H. Butler Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O God, today we may forget How awful and how great art Thou, The terrors that our sins have set Around Thy throne, about Thy brow; Thy will, unsearchable to man, Thy power that hath encompassed all— That whirled the spheres, ere time began, And marked rebellious angels’ fall. 2 O Jesus, now we cannot weep; Thy cross transfigured seems to rise. Celestial armies round it keep Eternal vigil in the skies. We cannot feel Thy suffering, Nor see Thy coronet of thorn; We only hear the seraphs sing That Christ, the Prince of Peace, is born. 3 O Holy Ghost, our Father’s gift, Suffuse our inmost beings, till Immortal joy our spirits lift, And holds them captive to Thy will. Today Thou dost not come to chide, Or bring our guilt before Thy face; But, pure and clean, we may abide In Thine own secret dwelling place. 4 A little child to us is given, A tender halo on His head, His smile hath caught the light of Heaven, And human woe is comforted! He sleeps in every stricken breast, He gazes into weary eyes. And lo! a blessèd peace and rest Steals on our hearts from Paradise. 5 Ah, soul of mine, canst thou withstand The presence of that Child divine, Or thrust aside the little hand He lays so trustingly in thine? Oh! join the world’s great hymn of love, That never ending, rapturous lay! While cherubim and saints above Adore the Babe of Christmas day. Used With Tune: CREATION

The Song The Herald Angels Sang

Author: Jennie Wayne Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The song the herald angels sang, O’er Bethlehem’s starlit plain, Still echoes in the heart of man, A gladsome sweet refrain, A gladsome sweet refrain. Peace, peace on earth, good will to men, Our Father reigns supreme, And love fills all the universe, Evil is but a dream. 2 Thro’ all these long millennia, This song of peace and love, Has breathed its balm of blessing, And hovered like a dove, And hovered like a dove. Above the restless pulse of man, Bidding his passions cease, Till war and strife are ended, And nations dwell in peace. 3 Thro’ all the ages yet to come, ’Twill whisper sweet and low, If man but love his brother man, ’Tis Heav’n begun below, ’Tis Heav’n begun below. And so with song and radiance, The way will grow more bright, Till the star that shines o’er Bethlehem, Fills all the world with light. Used With Tune: [The song the herald angels sang]
