Call Jehovah Thy Salvation

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 215 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Call Jehovah thy salvation, rest beneath th'Almighty's shade; in His secret habitation dwell, and never be dismayed. 2 There no tumult shall alarm thee, thou shalt dread no hidden snare; guile nor violence can harm thee in eternal safeguard there. 3 From the sword at noonday wasting, from the noisome pestilence, in the depth of midnight blasting, God shall be thy sure defense. 4 Fear not thou the deadly quiver, when a thousand feel the blow; mercy shall thy soul deliver, though ten thousand be laid low. 5 Only with thine eyes the anguish of the wicked thou shalt see, when by slow disease they languish, when they perish suddenly. 6 Thee, though winds and waves be swelling, God, thine hope, shall bear through all; plague shall not come nigh thy dwelling, thee no evil shall befall.

He Dies, the Friend of Sinners Dies

Author: Isaac Watts; Augustus Toplady Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 644 hymnals First Line: He dies, the Friend of sinners dies! Lyrics: 1 He dies, the Friend of sinners dies! Lo! Salem's daughters weep around. A solemn darkness veils the skies; a sudden trembling shakes the ground. 2 Here's love and grief beyond degree: the Lord of glory dies for men; but lo, what sudden joys we see! Jesus, the dead, revives again. 3 The rising God forsakes the tomb! The tomb in vain forbids His rise: Cherubic legions guard Him home, And shout Him welcome to the skies. 4 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell how high your great Deliv'rer reigns. Sing how He spoiled the hosts of hell, and led the monster, Death, in chains. 5 Say: "Live forever, wondrous King, born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask the monster: "Where's thy sting? And where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?" Topics: Jesus Christ Suffering and Death Used With Tune: BLOCKLEY

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises the Christian while he sings; it is the Lord who rises with healing in His wings; when comforts are declining, He grants the soul again a season of clear shining, to cheer it after rain. 2 In holy contemplation, we sweetly then pursue the theme of God’s salvation, and find it ever new. Set free from present sorrow, we cheerfully can say, “E'en let the unknown morrow bring with it what it may.” 3 "It can bring with it nothing, but He will bear us through; who gives the lilies clothing will clothe His people, too; beneath the spreading heavens no creature but is fed; and He who feeds the ravens will give His children bread." 4 Though vine nor fig tree neither their wonted fruit should bear, though all the field should wither, nor flocks nor herds be there, yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice; for while in Him confiding, I cannot but rejoice.

To Avert from Men God's Wrath

Author: John Hus; Martin Luther; Christian Ignatius La Trobe Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To avert from men God’s wrath, Jesus suffered in our stead; by an ignominious death He a full atonement made; and by His most precious blood brought us, sinners, nigh to God. 2 Christ bids each afflicted soul, "Come that I may soothe your grief. No one who is strong and whole needs a doctor for relief; therefore have no fear, draw nigh, that your want I may supply." 3 But examine first your case, whether you be in the faith; do you long for pard’ning grace? Is your only hope His death? Then, how e’er your soul’s oppressed, come, you are a worthy guest. 4 They who Jesus’ mercy knows are from wrath and envy freed; love unto our neighbor shows that we are His flock indeed; thus we may in all our ways show forth our Redeemer’s praise.
