O Thou Essential Word
Author: Laurentius Laurenti; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5364 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. O Thou essential Word,
Who wast from the beginning
With God, for Thou wast God;
Thou hope of all the sinning,
Chosen to save our race,
Welcome indeed Thou art,
Redeemer, Fount of grace,
To this my longing heart.
2. Come, self-existent Word,
And speak Thou in my spirit!
The soul where Thou art heard
Doth endless peace inherit.
Thou light that lightenest all,
Abide through faith in me,
Nor let me from Thee fall,
And seek no guide but Thee.
3. Ah! what hath stirred Thy heart,
What cry hath mounted thither,
And reached Thy heavenly throne,
And drawn Thee, Savior, hither?
It was Thy wondrous love,
And my most utter need,
Made Thy compassions move,
Stronger than death indeed.
4. Then let me give my heart
To Him who loved me, wholly;
And live, while here I dwell,
To show His praises solely;
Yes, Jesus, form anew
This stony heart of mine,
Make it till death still true
To Thee, for ever Thine.
5. Let naught be left within
But what Thy hand hath planted;
Root out the weeds of sin,
And quell the foe who haunted
My soul, and set the tares;
From Thee comes nothing ill,
O save me from his snares,
Make plain my pathway still.
6. Thou art the Life, O Lord,
And Thou its light art only!
Let not Thy blessèd rays
Still leave me dark and lonely.
Star of the East, arise!
Drive all my clouds away,
Till earth’s dim twilight dies
Into the perfect day! Languages: English Tune Title: LAURENTI
O Thou Essential Word
O Thou Who Dwell'st on High
Author: Wilson T. Hogue Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5425 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. O Thou who dwell’st on high,
’Mid burning seraphs bright,
Pavilioned in the azure sky,
Robed with celestial light:
Permit us to draw near,
And worship and adore;
Redeemed from sin and guilt and fear,
Thy blessing we implore.
2. Thou high and holy Lord,
Before whom seraphs fall
With faces veiled and spirits awed,
And Thee thrice holy call:
We fall before Thy feet,
Unworthy to draw near,
E’en though before Thy mercy seat
Thou call’st us to appear.
3. Hear Thou the prayer we bring;
Regard Thy children’s need;
Accept the hymns of praise we sing,
And to our vows give heed.
We seek Thee in Thy Son,
Who died our souls to save—
The crucified but risen One,
Triumphant o’er the grave.
4. Through Him, our great high priest
Before the heav’nly throne,
We seek redemption’s power and peace—
Peace to the world unknown;
Seeking, we find Thee near
To bless with every grace
And make us meet, when Thou appear,
To see Thee face to face. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
O Thou Who Dwell'st on High
Prisoners of Hope, Arise
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5677 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Prisoners of hope, arise,
and see your Lord appear;
Lo! on the wings of love He flies,
and brings redemption near;
Redemption in His blood
He calls you to receive:
Look unto Me, the pardoning God.
Believe, He cries, believe!
2. The reconciling word,
we thankfully embrace;
Rejoice in our redeeming Lord,
a blood besprinkled race.
We yield to be set free;
Thy counsel we approve;
Salvation, praise, ascribe to Thee,
and glory in Thy love.
3. Jesus, to Thee we look,
till saved from sin’s remains;
Reject the inbred tyrant’s yoke,
and cast away his chains.
Our nature shall no more
over us dominion have;
By faith we apprehend the power
which shall forever save. Languages: English Tune Title: DIADEMATA
Prisoners of Hope, Arise
Roll Out, O Song, to God!
Author: Frank Sewall, 1837-1915 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5840 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D First Line: Roll out, O song to God Lyrics: 1. Roll out, O song to God!
Move on, ye throngs of men!
Chances and changes come and go;
God changeth not! Amen.
And on the throngs of men,
On worrying care and strife,
Sinks down, as if from angel tongues,
The word of hope and life.
2. Down in the darksome ways
And worrying whirl of life
Sinks, like a strain of vesper song,
The thought of His great strife;
Who, of the virgin born,
Made all our chains His own,
And broke them with His own right arm,
Nor left us more alone.
3. Amid the weak, One strong,
Amid the false, One true,
Amid all change, One changing not,
One hope we ne’er shall rue.
In whose sight all is now,
In whose love all is best:
The things of this world pass away,
Come, let us in Him rest. Languages: English Tune Title: VIGLIA
Roll Out, O Song, to God!
Servant of God, Well Done! (Montgomery)
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5978 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D First Line: Servant of God, well done Lyrics: 1. Servant of God, well done!
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought, the victory won,
Enter thy master’s joy.
The voice at midnight came;
He started up to hear;
A mortal arrow pierced his frame:
He fell, but felt no fear.
2. Tranquil amid alarms,
It found him on the field,
A veteran, slumbering on his arms,
Beneath his red cross shield.
His sword was in his hand,
Still warm with recent fight,
Ready that moment, at command,
Through rock and steel to smite.
3. The pains of death are past,
Labor and sorrow cease;
And, life’s long warfare closed at last,
His soul is found in peace.
Soldier of Christ, well done!
Praise be thy new employ;
And while eternal ages run,
Rest in thy Savior’s joy. Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER HOME
Servant of God, Well Done! (Montgomery)
Sing to the Lord Aloud
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6068 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord aloud,
And make a joyful noise;
God is our strength, our Savior God;
Let Israel hear His voice.
2. “From vile idolatry
Preserve My worship clean;
I am the Lord, who set thee free
From slavery and sin.
3. “Stretch thy desires abroad,
And I’ll supply them well:
But if ye will refuse your God,
If Israel will rebel;
4. I’ll leave them, saith the Lord,
“To their own lusts a prey,
And let them run the dangerous road,
’Tis their own chosen way.
5. “Yet O! that all My saints
Would hearken to My voice!
Soon I would ease their sore complaints,
And bid their hearts rejoice.
6. While I destroy their foes,
I’d richly feed my flock;
And they should taste the stream that flows
From their eternal rock. Languages: English Tune Title: ACCRA
Sing to the Lord Aloud
Spirit of Faith, Come Down
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6283 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Spirit of faith, come down,
reveal the things of God,
And make to us the Godhead known,
and witness with the blood.
’Tis Thine the blood to apply
and give us eyes to see,
Who did for every sinner die
hath surely died for me.
2. No man can truly say
that Jesus is the Lord,
Unless Thou take the veil away
and breathe the living Word.
Then, only then, we feel
our interest in His blood,
And cry with joy unspeakable,
Thou art my Lord, my God!
3. O that the world might know
the all atoning Lamb!
Spirit of faith, descend and show
the virtue of His name;
The grace which all may find,
the saving power, impart,
And testify to all mankind,
and speak in every heart.
4. Inspire the living faith
(which whosoever receive,
The witness in themselves they
have and consciously believe),
The faith that conquers all,
and doth the mountain move,
And saves whoever on Jesus call,
and perfects them in love. Languages: English Tune Title: BEALOTH
Spirit of Faith, Come Down
Stupendous Mystery!
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6381 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D First Line: Stupendous mystery Lyrics: 1. Stupendous mystery!
God in our flesh is seen
(While angels ask, how can it be?)
And dwells with sinful men!
Our nature He assumes,
That we may His retrieve;
He comes, to our dead world He comes,
That all thro’ Him may live.
2. The true, eternal Word
To us a Child is given,
The sovereign God, th’Almighty Lord,
Who fills both earth and Heaven;
Our God on earth appears
To take our sins away,
And guide us thro’ the vale of tears
To realms of endless day. Languages: English Tune Title: ACCRA
Stupendous Mystery!
Sure There's a Righteous God
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6400 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Sure there’s a righteous God,
Nor is religion vain;
Though men of vice may boast aloud,
And men of grace complain.
I saw the wicked rise,
And felt my heart repine,
While haughty fools with scornful eyes
In robes of honor shine.
2. Pampered with wanton ease,
Their flesh looks full and fair;
Their wealth rolls in like flowing seas,
And grows without their care.
Free from the plagues and pains
That pious souls endure;
Through all their life oppression reigns,
And racks the humble poor.
3. Their impious tongues blaspheme
The everlasting God;
Their malice blasts the good man’s name,
And spreads their lies abroad.
But I with flowing tears
Indulged my doubts to rise;
Is there a God that sees or hears
The things below the skies?
4. The tumults of my thought
Held me in hard suspense,
Till to Thy house my feet were brought,
To learn Thy justice thence.
Thy Word with light and power
Did my mistake amend;
I viewed the sinner’s life before,
But here I learnt their end.
5. On what slippery steep
The thoughtless wretches go;
And O that dreadful fiery deep
That waits their fall below!
Lord, at Thy feet I bow,
My thoughts no more repine;
I call my God my portion now,
And all my powers are Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: NEARER HOME
Sure There's a Righteous God
Thou Fairest Child Divine
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6554 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Thou fairest Child divine,
In yonder manger laid,
In whom is God Himself well pleased,
By whom all things were made,
On me art Thou bestowed,
How can such wonders be!
The dearest that the Father hath
He gives me here in Thee!
2. I was a foe to God,
I fought in Satan’s host,
I trifled all His grace away,
Alas! my soul was lost.
Yet God forgives my sin,
His heart, with pity moved,
He gives me, heavenly Child, in Thee;
Lo! thus our God hath loved!
3. Once blind with sin and self,
Along the treacherous way,
That ends in ruin at the last,
I hastened far astray;
Then God sent down His Son,
For with a love most deep,
Most undeserved, His heart still yearned
O’er me, poor wandering sheep!
4. God with His life of love
To me was far and strange,
My heart clung only to the world
Of sight and sense and change;
In Thee, Immanuel,
Are God and man made one;
In Thee my heart hath peace with God,
And union in the Son.
5. Oh ponder this, my soul,
Our God hath loved us thus,
That e’en His only dearest Son
He freely giveth us.
Thou precious gift of God,
The pledge and bond of love,
With thankful heart I kneel to take
This treasure from above.
6. I kneel beside Thy couch,
I press Thee to my heart,
For Thee I gladly all forsake
And from the creature part;
Thou priceless Pearl! lo, He
By whom Thou’rt loved and known,
Will give Himself and all He hath
To win Thee for His own.
7. Oh, come, Thou blessèd Child,
Thou Savior of my soul,
For ever bound to Thee, my name
Among Thy host enroll.
O deign to take my heart,
And let Thy heart be mine,
That all my love flow out to Thee,
And lose itself in mine. Languages: English Tune Title: BEALOTH
