Though Princes Hound Me for No Cause
Unless the LORD Builds Up the House
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Unless the Lord builds up the house,
the weary builders toil in vain;
unless he keeps the city safe,
the guards a useless watch maintain.
2 In vain you rise before the dawn,
and late your nightly vigils keep;
while you eat bread of anxious toil,
God gives to his beloved sleep.
3 Lo, children are a heritage,
a gift from God in very truth.
Like arrows in a warrior's hand
are all the children of one's youth.
4 The man whose quiver's full of them
is blessed by God; his name is great.
He shall not fear his enemies
when he speaks with them in the gate.

Unless the LORD Builds Up the House
See, The Destruction Is Begun
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 See, the destruction is begun,
And heaps of ruin spread the ground;
With hasty strides it marches on,
And scatters consternation round.
2 Sinners in Zion take th’alarm,
The hypocrites astonished cry,
"Who with devouring flames can dwell?
Who in eternal burnings lie?"
3 God’s gracious voice the saint revives,
How sweet the heav’nly accents sound!
"Dwell thou on high, My child," He says,
"Where rocks shall guard thee all around."
4 "There shall My hand thy wants supply,
Thy water and thy bread are sure;
There shall My visits make thee glad,
While these alarming scenes endure."
5 "Then, led in joyous triumph forth,
Thine eyes the distant land shall view,
Shall see thy king in beauty dressed,
And share His royal honors, too."
6 My soul the oracle receives,
And feels its energy to cheer;
A promised Heav’n, a present God,
Forbids my grief, forbids my fear.

En Pascua, al Amanecer
The Heart Dejected Sighs To Know
Author: John Needham, ?-circa 1786 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 17 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The heart dejected sighs to know,
Why vice triumphant reigns below;
Why saints have fall’n in every age,
The victims of tyrannic rage.
2 Fast roll successive years away;
Fast hastens on th’important day,
When, to th’astonished world’s surprise,
God’s high tribunal shall arise.
3 Hark! ’tis the trumpet’s piercing sound;
The rising dead assemble round;
In close procession, see, they come,
Each to receive his final doom.
4 Lo! there, a vile, degenerate race;
Pale terror sits on every face:
Here, on the right, a joyful band,
The sons of suffering virtue stand.
5 The sentence passed, lo! these arise
To bliss and glory in the skies:
While those, who once stood high in fame,
Sink to contempt and lasting shame.
6 Thus shall God’s government appear
Without a shade, divinely fair;
And blushing doubt with joy confess,
The Lord’s a God of righteousness. Used With Tune: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM

O Christ, our joy, to whom is given
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Author: Thomas Ken, 1637-1711 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 889 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off dull sloth, and joyful rise,
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
2 Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High praise to the eternal King.
3 Lord, I my vows to thee renew;
Disperse my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and will,
and with thyself my spirit fill.
4 Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All I design, or do, or say,
That all my pow3rs, with all their might
In thy sole glory may unite.
5 Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.

Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky
The royal banners forward go
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, 530-600; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 134 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The royal banners forward go,
the cross shines forth in mystic glow;
where he in flesh, our flesh who made,
our sentence bore, our ransom paid.
2 There whilst he hung, his sacred side
by soldier's spear was opened wide,
to cleanse us in the precious flood
of water mingled with his blood.
3 Fulfilled is now what David told
in true prophetic song of old,
how God the heathen's King should be;
for God is reigning from the tree.
4 O tree of glory, tree most fair,
ordained those holy limbs to bear,
how bright in purple robe it stood,
the purple of a Saviour's blood!
5 Upon its arms, like balance true,
he weighed the price for sinners due,
the price which none but he could pay,
and spoiled the spoiler of his prey.
6 To thee, eternal Three in One,
let homage meet by all be done:
as by the cross thou dost restore,
so rule and guide us evermore.

The royal banners forward go
The Lamb's high banquet called to share
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The Lamb's high banquet called to share,
arrayed in garments white and fair,
the Red Sea past, we fain would sing
to Jesus our triumphant King.
2 Upon the altar of the cross,
his body hath redeemed our loss;
and, tasting of his precious blood,
our life is hid with him in God.
3 Protected in the Paschal night
from the destroying angel's might,
in triumph went the ransomed free
from Pharaoh's cruel tyranny.
4 Now Christ our Passover is slain,
the Lamb of God without a stain;
his flesh, the true unleavened bread,
is freely offered in our stead.
5 O all-sufficient Sacrifice,
beneath thee hell defeated lies;
thy captive people are set free,
and crowns of life restored by thee.
6 We hymn thee rising from the grave,
from death returning, strong to save;
thine own right hand the tyrant chains,
and paradise for man regains.
7 All praise be thine, O risen Lord,
from death to endless life restored;
all praise to God the Father be
and Holy Ghost eternally. Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Easter Used With Tune: GRENOBLE (DEUS TUORUM MILITUM) Text Sources: 6th century, Latin; Other translators: Editors of Hymns Ancient and Modern
