Lord, on earth I dwell in pain

Author: Neumann; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: Lord, on earth I dwell in pain; Here in anguish I must lie; Wherefore leav'st Thou me again, Why ascendest Thou on high? Take me, take me hence with Thee, Or abide, Lord, still in me; Let Thy love and gifts be left, That I be not all bereft. Leave Thy heart with me behind, Take mine hence with Thee away; Let my sighs an entrance find To Thy heaven whene'er I pray. When I cannot pray, oh plead With Thy Father in my stead; Seated now at God's right hand, Help us here Thy faithful band. Help me earthly toys to spurn, Raise my thoughts from things below; Mortal am I, yet I yearn Heavenly like my Lord to grow, That my time through faith may be Ordered for eternity; Till we meet, all perils o'er, Whither Thou hast gone before. In due season come again, As was promised us of old; Raise the members that have lain Gnawed of death beneath the mould, Judge the evil world that deems Thy sure words but empty dreams; Then for all our sorrows past, Let us know Thy joy at last.

Praise the High, the Holy One

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: Praise the High, the Holy One! God o'er all, the first, the last: 3 For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, it stood fast. At His word, from darkness light, Harmony from discord broke; Weakness started into might, Beauty out of dust awoke: Fire and water, air and earth, Heard His voice and hush'd their strife: Death itself, by wondrous birth, Grew the parent of all life. Plant and flower, and herb and tree, Sprang spontaneous from the sod; Sun and moon, and land and sea, Day and night, beheld their God. Fishes, fowls upon the wing, Beasts, and all that creep or fly, Every breathing, moving thing, Peopled forest, flood, and sky. But while all was fair and good, All accordant to His will, None their Maker understood, Mind and thought were wanting still. God, His glory to display, With His image crown'd the whole, Breath'd His Spirit into clay, And made man a living soul. Hallelujah, praise the One God o'er all, the first, the last: For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, it stood fast. Sacred Poems and Hymns

In the dark of early morn

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: I In the dark of early morn, Ere the light dispelled the gloom, Came the hearts with sorrow torn, Weeping to the lonely tomb. II Brought they aromatics rare Culled from every choicest stem, And from gardens blooming fair Round thy slopes, Jerusalem. III Ah, the thoughts that filled the mind, As they journeyed all alone, For the Blessed Lord was kind, And they loved Him as their own. IV Glistening in the morning grey, Whence those garments fairer far Than the light that hails the day In the glorious morning star? V List! their voices, heavenly, sweet, As the light clad angels say, Come, behold in reverence meet, Where the risen Master lay. VI Hail the gladness, hail the day, Bring no spices, bring no tears; Death has lost its power to slay, And the grave is reft of fears. Hymns from the Morningland, 1911

In the morning hear my voice

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: In the morning hear my voice, Let me in thy light rejoice; 85 God, my Sun! my strength renew, Send thy blessing down like dew. Through the duties of the day, Grant me, grace to watch and pray; Live as always seeing Thee, Knowing, "Thou, God! seest me." When the evening skies display Richer pomp than noon's array, Be the shades of death to me Bright with immortality. When the round of care is run, And the stars succeed the sun, Songs of praise with prayer unite, Crown the day, and hail the night. Thus with thee, my God! my Friend! Time begin, continue, end, While life's joys and sorrows pass Like the changes of the grass. Sacred Poems and Hymns

Christ Is Risen From The Dead

Author: William Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen from the dead: He has set His people free; Bruised for us the serpent’s head, Won for us the victory! 2 Christ is risen from the dead, Mighty in His power to save! And, as our ascended head, Reaps the harvest of the grave. 3 Now, before the throne He stands, Crowned the victor in the strife, Shows His wounded feet and hands, In the power of endless life. 4 As our first-fruits He appears, In Him all His people rise; And through everlasting years Share His glory in the skies.
