All Is O'er, the Pain, the Sorrow

Author: John Moultrie; John Ellerton Hymnal: CYBER #71 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1. All is o’er, the pain, the sorrow, Human taunts and fiendish spite; Death shall be despoiled tomorrow Of the prey he grasps tonight; Yet awhile, His own to save, Christ must linger in the grave. 2. Dark and still the cell that holds Him, While in brief repose He lies; Deep the slumber that enfolds Him, Veiled awhile from mortal eyes; Slumber such as needs must be After hard won victory. 3. Fierce and deadly was the anguish Which on yonder cross He bore; How did soul and body languish Till the toil of death was o’er: But that toil, so fierce and dread, Bruised and crushed the serpent’s head. 4. All night long, with plaintive voicing, Chant His requiem soft and low: Loftier strains of loud rejoicing From tomorrow’s harps shall flow: Death and hell at length are slain! Christ hath triumphed! Christ doth reign! Languages: English Tune Title: REQUIEM

And Is This Life Prolonged to Me?

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: CYBER #72 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. And is this life prolonged to me? Are days and seasons giv’n? O let me, then, prepare to be A fitter heir of Heav’n. 2. In vain these moments shall not pass, These golden hours be gone: Lord, I accept Thine offered grace, I bow before Thy throne. 3. Now cleanse my soul from every sin By my Redeemer’s blood; Now let my flesh and soul begin The honors of my God. 4. Let me no more my soul beguile With sin’s deceitful toys; Let cheerful hope, increasing still, Approach to heav’nly joys. 5. My thankful lips shall loud proclaim The wonders of Thy praise, And spread the savor of Thy name, Where’er I spend my days. 6. On earth let my example shine, And when I leave this state, May Heav’n receive this soul of mine To bliss supremely great. Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI

And Is the Time Approaching?

Author: Jane Borthwick Hymnal: CYBER #73 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D First Line: And is the time approaching Lyrics: 1. And is the time approaching, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one fold? Shall every idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown, And every prayer be offered To God in Christ alone? 2. Shall Jew and Gentile, meeting From many a distant shore, Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore? Shall all that now divides us Remove, and pass away Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day? 3. Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union In a blest land of love? Shall war be learned no longer, Shall strife and tumult cease; All earth His blessèd kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace? 4. O long expected dawning, Come with Thy cheering ray; When shall the morning brighten, The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on To pray, and hope, and labor, Till the dark night be gone. Languages: English Tune Title: SAVOY CHAPEL

Awake, Jerusalem, Awake!

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #74 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Awake, Jerusalem, awake Lyrics: 1. Awake, Jerusalem, awake! No longer in thy sins lie down; The garment of salvation take, Thy beauty and thy strength put on. 2. Shake off the dust that blinds thy sight, And hides the promise from thine eyes; Arise, and struggle into light, The great Deliverer calls: Arise! 3. Shake off the bands of sad despair; Zion, assert thy liberty; Look up, thy broken heart prepare, And God shall set the captive free. 4. Vessels of mercy, sons of grace, Be purged from every sinful stain, Be like your Lord, His Word embrace, Nor bear His hallowed name in vain. Languages: English Tune Title: LUTON

As Jonah, Issuing from His Three Days' Tomb

Author: Cosmas the Melodist; John M. Neale Hymnal: CYBER #75 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1. As Jonah, issuing from his three days’ tomb, At length was cast, uninjured, on the earth; So, from the virgin’s unpolluted womb Th’incarnate Word, that dwelt there, had His birth: For He, who knew no taint of mortal stain, Willed that His mother spotless should remain. 2. Christ comes, incarnate God, amongst us now, Begotten of the Father ere the day: And He, to whom the sinless legions bow, Lies cradled, ’midst unconscious beasts on hay: And, by His homely swaddling-bands girt in, Looses the many fetters of our sin. 3. Now the new Child of Adam’s race draws nigh, To us, the faithful, giv’n: This, this is He That shall the Father of eternity, The Angel of the Mighty Counsel, be: This the eternal God, by whose strong hands The fabric of the world supported stands.

Arm of the Lord, Awake, Awake!

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #76 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Arm of the Lord, awake, awake Lyrics: 1. Arm of the Lord, awake, awake! Thine own immortal strength put on! With terror clothed, hell’s kingdom shake, And cast Thy foes with fury down! 2. As in the ancient days appear! The sacred annals speak Thy fame: Be now omnipotently near, To endless ages still the same. 3. Thy arm, Lord, is not shortened now, It wants not now the power to save; Still present with Thy people, Thou Bear’st them through life’s disparted wave. 4. By death and hell pursued in vain, To Thee the ransomed seed shall come, Shouting their heavenly Zion gain, And pass through death triumphant home. 5. The pain of life shall there be o’er, The anguish and distracting care, There sighing grief shall weep no more, And sin shall never enter there. 6. Where pure, essential joy is found, The Lord’s redeemed their heads shall raise, With everlasting gladness crowned, And filled with love, and lost in praise.

Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed?

Author: Isaac Watts; Ralph E. Hudson Hymnal: CYBER #77 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Alas! and did my Savior bleed Refrain First Line: At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light Lyrics: 1. Alas! and did my Savior bleed And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I? [originally, For such a worm as I?] Refrain At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day! 2. Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine— And bathed in its own blood— While the firm mark of wrath divine, His Soul in anguish stood. [Refrain] 3. Was it for crimes that I had done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree! [Refrain] 4. Well might the sun in darkness hide And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker died, For man the creature’s sin. [Refrain] 5. Thus might I hide my blushing face While His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness, And melt my eyes to tears. [Refrain] 6. But drops of grief can ne’er repay The debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give my self away ’Tis all that I can do. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MARTYRDOM

Alas! Elisha's Servant Cried

Author: John Newton Hymnal: CYBER #78 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Alas! Elisha’s servant cried, When he the Syrian army spied, But he was soon released from care, In answer to the prophet’s prayer. 2. Straitway he saw, with other eyes, A greater army from the skies; A fiery guard around the hill, Thus are the saints preservèd still. 3. When Satan and his host appear, Like him of old, I faint and fear; Like him, by faith, with joy I see, A greater host engaged for me. 4. The saints espouse my cause by prayer, The angels make my soul their care; Mine is the promise sealed with blood, And Jesus lives to make it good. Languages: English Tune Title: LOUELLA

All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: Anonymous; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: CYBER #79 Meter: 8.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. All depends on our possessing God’s abundant grace and blessing, Tho’ all earthly wealth depart. He who trusts with faith unshaken In his God is not forsaken And e’er keeps a dauntless heart. 2. He who hitherto hath fed me And to many joys hath led me Is and ever shall be mine. He who did so gently school me, He who still doth guide and rule me, Will remain my Help divine. 3. Many spend their lives in fretting Over trifles and in getting Things that have no solid ground. I shall strive to win a treasure That will bring me lasting pleasure And that now is seldom found. 4. When with sorrow I am stricken, Hope my heart anew will quicken, All my longing shall be stilled. To His lovingkindness tender Soul and body I surrender; For on Him alone I build. 5. Well He knows what best to grant me; All the longing hopes that haunt me, Joy and sorrow have their day. I shall doubt His wisdom never— As God wills, so be it ever— I to Him commit my way. 6. If on earth my days He lengthen, He my weary soul will strengthen; All my trust in Him I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding, Like a stream away is gliding; Safe I anchor in His grace. Languages: English Tune Title: ALLES IST AN GOTTES SEGEN

And Let This Feeble Body Fail

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: CYBER #80 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. And let this feeble body fail, And let it droop and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale, And soar to worlds on high; Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants, In my Redeemer’s breast. 2. In hope of that immortal crown I now the cross sustain, And gladly wander up and down, And smile at toil and pain: I suffer out my threescore years, Till my Deliverer come, And wipe away His servant’s tears, And take His exile home. 3. O what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravished eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise: I see a world of spirits bright, Who taste the pleasures there; They all are robed in spotless white, And conquering palms they bear. 4. O what are all my sufferings here, If, Lord, Thou count me meet With that enraptured host to appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away, But let me find them all again In that eternal day. Languages: English Tune Title: REX REGUM
