On Jordan's Banks the Baptist's Cry

Author: Charles Coffin; John Chandler Hymnal: HTLG2017 #95 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: Charles Coffin Lyrics: 1 On Jordan's bank the Baptist's cry announces that the Lord is nigh; awake, and hearken, for he brings glad tidings from the King of kings. 2 Then cleansed be every breast from sin; make straight the way for God within; prepare we in our hearts a home, where such a mighty Guest may come. 3 For Thou art our salvation, Lord, our Refuge and our great Reward; without Thy grace we waste away, like flow'rs that wither and decay. 4 To heal the sick stretch out Thine hand, and bid the fallen sinner stand; shine forth, and let Thy light restore earth's own true loveliness once more. 5 All praise, Eternal Son, to Thee, whose Advent doth Thy people free; whom with the Father we adore, and Holy Ghost for evermore.

Gentle Mary Laid Her Child

Author: Joseph S. Cook Hymnal: HTLG2017 #115 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Person Name: Joseph S. Cook Lyrics: 1 Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger; there He lay, the undefiled, to the world a stranger; such a Babe in such a place, can He be the Savior? Ask the saved of all the race who have found His favor. 2 Angels sang about His birth; wise men sought and found Him; heaven’s star shone brightly forth, glory all around Him; shepherds saw the wondrous sight, heard the angels singing; all the plains were lit that night, all the hills were ringing. 3 Gentle Mary laid her Child lowly in a manger; He is still the undefiled, but no more a stranger; Son of God, of humble birth, beautiful the story; praise His name in all the earth; hail the King of glory!

Cousin Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking; the dawn of heaven breaks; the summer morn I've sighed for, the fair sweet morn awakes; dark, dark, hath been the midnight, but dayspring is at hand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 2 The King there in His beauty without a veil is seen; it were a well-spent journey, though trials lay between: the Lamb with His fair army on Zion's mountain stands, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 3 O Christ, He is the Fountain, the deep sweet Well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted; more deep I'll drink above: there to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 4 The bride eyes not her garment, but her dear bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory, but on my King of grace; not at the crown He giveth, but on His piercèd hand; the Lamb is all the glory of Emmanuel's land.

There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: HTLG2017 #209 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: William Cowper Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel's veins, and sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day; and there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its pow'r till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die. 5 When this poor lisping, stamm'ring tongue lies silent in the grave, then in a nobler sweeter song I'll sing Thy pow'r to save.

O for a Closer Walk with God

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: HTLG2017 #252 (2017) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Person Name: William Cowper Lyrics: 1 O for a closer walk with God, a calm and heav'nly frame, a light to shine upon the road that leads me to the Lamb! 2 Where is the blessedness I knew when first I sought the Lord? Where is the soul refreshing view of Jesus and His Word? 3 What peaceful hours I then enjoyed! How sweet their mem'ry still! But they have left an aching void the world can never fill. 4 Return, O holy Dove, return, sweet messenger of rest; I hate the sins that made Thee mourn, and drove Thee from my breast. 5 The dearest idol I have known, whate'er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne and worship only Thee. 6 So shall my walk be close with God, calm and serene my frame; so purer light shall mark the road that leads me to the Lamb.

What Various Hindrances We Meet

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: HTLG2017 #275 (2017) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Person Name: William Cowper Lyrics: 1 What various hindrances we meet in coming to the mercy seat! Yet who that knows the worth of pray'r but wishes to be often there! 2 Pray'r makes the darkened clouds withdraw; pray'r climbs the ladder Jacob saw; gives exercise to faith and love; brings ev'ry blessing from above. 3 Restraining pray'r, we cease to fight; pray'r makes the Christian’s armor bright; and Satan trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees. 4 Have you no words? Ah, think again: words flow apace when you complain, and fill a fellow-creature’s ear with the sad tale of all your care. 5 Were half the breath thus vainly spent to heav’n in supplication sent, our cheerful song would oft’ner be, "Hear what the Lord hath done for me!"

Sometimes a Light Surprises

Author: William Cowper Hymnal: HTLG2017 #309 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Person Name: William Cowper 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.
