Rock of ages, cleft for me

Author: Toplady Hymnal: VoP1873 #376 (1873) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Scripture: Exodus 32:23 Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee; Let the water and the blood, From thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure-- Save from wrath and make me pure. 2 Could my tears for ever flow, Could my zeal no languor know, These for sin could not atone; Thou must save, and thou alone: In my hand no price I bring; Simply to thy cross I cling. 3 While I draw this fleeting breath, When my eyes shall close in death, When I rise to worlds unknown, And behold thee on thy throne-- Rock of ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee.

Traveler, yes; it brings the day-- Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night-- Higher yet that star ascends: Traveler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o'er all the earth. 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn: Traveler, darkness takes its flight; Doubt and terror are withdrawn.

My soul, repeat his praise

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #323 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Numbers 14:18 Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat his praise, Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we treat; So far the riches of his grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 3 His power subdues our sins, And his forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west, Doth all our guilt remove. 4 The pity of the Lord, To those who fear his name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower; If one sharp blast sweeps o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure.

Author: Mrs. Barbauld Hymnal: VoP1873 #888 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Numbers 23:10 Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous when he dies, When sinks a weary soul to rest!

How gently heaves the expiring breast! 2 So fades a summer cloud away; So sinks the gale when storms are o'er; So gently shuts the eye of day; So dies a wave along the shore. 3 A holy quiet reigns around, A calm which life nor death destroys; Nothing disturbs that peace profound Which his unfettered soul enjoys. 4 Farewell, conflicting hopes and fears! Where lights and shades alternate dwell; How bright the unchanging morn appears! Farewell, inconstant world, farewell! Topics: Life and Death; The Dying Disciple

When, marshaled on the nightly plain

Author: Kirke White Hymnal: VoP1873 #159 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Numbers 24:17 Lyrics: 1 When, marshaled on the nightly plain, The glittering hosts bestud the sky, One star alone, of all the train, Can fix the sinner's wandering eye. 2 Hark! hark! to God the chorus breaks, From every host, from every gem; But one alone the Saviour speaks,-- It is the Star of Bethlehem. 3 Once on the raging seas I rode, The storm was loud, the night was dark-- The ocean yawned--and rudely blowed The wind, that tossed my foundering bark. 4 Deep horror then my vitals froze, Death-struck, I ceased the tide to stem;-- When suddenly a star arose,-- It was the Star of Bethlehem. 5 It was my guide, my light, my all; It bad my dark forebodings cease; And, through the storm, and danger's thrall, It led me to the port of peace. 6 Now safely moored, my perils o'er, I'll sing, first in night's diadem, Forever and for evermore, The Star--the Star of Bethlehem!

The promises I sing

Author: Doddridge Hymnal: VoP1873 #71 (1873) Scripture: Deuteronomy 7:9 Lyrics: 1 The promises I sing, Which love supreme once spoke; Nor will the eternal King His words of grace revoke.

'Midst all the shock Of that dread scene I'll stand serene, Thy word my rock. Topics: Attributes of God Faithfulness; God Faithful

Oh, where shall rest be found

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: VoP1873 #434 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Scripture: Deuteronomy 12:9 Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul! 'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh; 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears There is a life above; Unmeasured by the flight of years-- And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh! what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord, God of truth and grace, Teach us that death to shun; Lest we be driven from thy face, And evermore undone.
