The Rush May Rise

Author: Unknown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: The rush may rise where waters flow Lyrics: 1 The rush may rise where waters flow, And flags beside the stream; But soon their verdure fades and dies Before the scorching beam. 2 So is the sinner’s hope cut off; Or, if it transient rise, ’Tis like the spider’s airy web, From every breath that flies. 3 Fixed on his house, he leans; his house, And all its props decay: He holds it fast; but while he holds, The tottering frame gives way. 4 Fair is his garden, to the sun His boughs with verdure smile; And, deeply fixed, his spreading roots Unshaken stand a while. 5 But forth the sentence flies from Heaven, That sweeps him from his place; Which then denies him for its lord, Nor owns it knew his face. 6 Lo! this the joy of wicked men, Who Heaven’s high laws despise; They quickly fall; and in their room, As quickly others rise. 7 But, for the just, with gracious care, God will His power employ; He’ll teach their lips to sing His praise, And fill their hearts with joy.

My race is run; my warfare's o'er

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My race is run; my warfare’s o’er; the solemn hour is nigh, when, offer'd up to God, my soul shall wing its flight on high. 2 With heav’nly weapons I have fought the battles of the Lord; finish'd my course, and kept the faith, depending on his word. 3 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown which cannot fade; the righteous Judge at that great day shall place it on my head. 4 Nor hath the Sov’reign Lord decreed this prize for me alone; but for all such as love like me th’ appearance of his Son. 5 From ev’ry snare and evil work his grace shall me defend, and to his heav’nly kingdom safe shall bring me in the end.

Great King Of Glory And Of Grace

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 45 hymnals First Line: Great King of glory and of grace! Lyrics: 1 Great King of glory and of grace! We own with humble shame, How vile is our degenerate race, And our first father’s name. 2 From Adam flows our tainted blood, The poison reigns within: Makes us averse to all that’s good, And willing slaves to sin. 3 Daily we break Thy holy laws, And then reject Thy grace; Engaged in the old serpent’s cause, Against our Maker’s face. 4 We live estranged afar from God, And love the distance well; With haste we run the dangerous road That leads to death and hell. 5 And can such rebels be restored? Such natures made divine? Let sinners see Thy glory, Lord, And feel this power of Thine. 6 We raise our Father’s name on high Who His own Spirit sends To bring rebellious strangers nigh, And turn His foes to friends.

Now May the Spirit's Holy Fire

Author: Toplady Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now may the Spirit’s holy fire, Descending from above, His waiting family inspire With joy and peace and love. 2 Great Comforter! our souls confess; Without thy presence here, Our songs of praise are vain address, We utter heartless prayer. 3 Wake, heavenly wind! arise and come, Blow on the drooping field; Our spices, then, shall breathe perfume, And fragrant incense yield. 4 Touch with a living coal the lip That shall proclaim thy word; And bid the whole assembly keep Attention to the Lord.

Come, Let Us Lift Our Voices High

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us lift our voices high, High as our joys arise, And join the songs above the sky, Where pleasure never dies. 2 Jesus, the God that fought and bled, And conquered when He fell; That rose, and at His chariot wheels Dragged all the powers of hell. 3 Jesus, our God, invites us here To this triumphal feast, And brings immortal blessings down For each redeemed guest. 4 The Lord, how glorious is His face! How kind His smiles appear! And oh! what melting words He says To every humble ear. “For you, the children of My love, It was for you I died; Behold My hands, behold My feet, And look into My side! “These are the wounds for you I bore, The tokens of My pains, When I came down to free your souls From misery and chains. “Justice unsheathed its fiery sword, And plunged it in My heart; Infinite pangs for you I bore, And most tormenting smart. “When hell, and all its spiteful powers, Stood dreadful in My way, To rescue those dear lives of yours, I gave My own away. 5 “But while I bled, and groaned, and died, I ruined Satan’s throne; High on My cross I hung, and spied The monster tumbling down. 6 Now you must triumph at My feast, And taste My flesh, My blood, And live eternal ages blest, For ’tis immortal food. 7 Victorious God! what can we pay For favors so divine? We would devote our hearts away To be for ever Thine. 8 We give Thee, Lord, our highest praise, The tribute of our tongues; But themes so infinite as these Exceed our noblest songs.
