Of Him Who Did Salvation Bring
Author: Bernard of Clairvaux; Anthony W. Boehm; John Christian Jacobi Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 351 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Of Him who did salvation bring,
I could forever think and sing:
Arise, ye needy, He’ll relieve;
Arise, ye guilty, He’ll forgive.
2. Ask but His grace, and lo, ’tis given!
Ask, and He turns your hell to heaven;
Though sin and sorrow wound my soul,
Jesus, Thy balm will make it whole.
3. To shame our sins He blushed in blood;
He closed His eyes to show us God:
Let all the world fall down and know
That none but God such love can show.
4. Insatiate to this spring I fly;
I drink, and yet am ever dry;
Ah! who against Thy charm is proof!
Ah! who that loves, can love enough? Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM (Mason) Text Sources: Translated from Latin to German in Arndt's True Christianity; translation in Psalmodia Germanica, 1720)
Of Him Who Did Salvation Bring
O Lord, Our Heav'nly King
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, our heav’nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o’er the heav’ns they shine.
2. When to Thy works on high
I raise my wond’ring eyes,
I see the moon, complete in light,
Adorn the darksome skies.
3. When I survey the stars,
And all their shining forms,
Lord, what is man, that worthless thing,
Akin to dust and worms?
4. Lord, what is worthless man,
That Thou shouldst love him so?
Next to Thine angels he is placed,
And lord of all below.
5. Thine honors crown his head,
While beasts, like slaves, obey;
And birds that cut the air with wings,
And fish that cleave the sea.
6. How rich Thy bounties are!
And wondrous are Thy ways;
Of dust and worms Thy power can frame
A monument of praise.
7. Out of the mouths of babes
And sucklings Thou canst draw
Surprising honors to Thy name
And strike the world with awe.
8. O Lord, our heav’nly King,
Thy name is all divine;
Thy glories round the earth are spread,
And o’er the heav’ns they shine. Used With Tune: DONCASTER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

O Lord, While We Confess the Worth

Of this the outward seal,
Do Thou the truths herein set forth
To every heart reveal.

Death to each fleshly lust;
Newness of life our calling now,
A risen Lord our trust.
3. And we, O Lord, who now partake
Of resurrection life,
With every sin, for Thy dear sake,
Would be at constant strife.
4. Baptized into the Father’s name,
We’d walk as sons of God;
Baptized in Thine, we own Thy claim
As ransomed by Thy blood.
5. Baptized into the Holy Ghost,
We’d keep His temple pure,
And make Thy grace our only boast,
And by Thy strength endure. Used With Tune: SERENITY Text Sources: Hymns Intended to Help the Communion of Saints (London: Nisbet & Co., 1847)
O Lord, While We Confess the Worth
O Mother Dear, Jerusalem
Author: F. B. P. Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 618 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end,
Thy joys when shall I see?
O happy harbor of the saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.
2. No murky cloud o’ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun,
For God Himself gives light.
There lust and lucre cannot dwell,
There envy bears no sway;
There is no hunger, heat, nor cold,
But pleasure every way.
3. Thy walls are made of precious stones,
Thy bulwarks diamonds square;
Thy gates are of right orient pearl,
Exceeding rich and rare.
Thy turrets and thy pinnacles
With carbuncles do shine;
Thy very streets are paved with gold,
Surpassing clear and fine.
4. Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green;
There grow such sweet and pleasant flow’rs,
As nowhere else are seen;
Quite through the streets, with silver sound,
The flood of life doth flow,
Upon whose banks on every side,
The wood of life doth grow.
5. There trees forevermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring,
There evermore the angels sit,
And evermore do sing.
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see! Used With Tune: MATERNA
O Mother Dear, Jerusalem
O Spirit of the Living God (Montgomery)
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 373 hymnals First Line: O Spirit of the living God Lyrics: 1. O Spirit of the living God,
In all Thy plenitude of grace,
Where’er the foot of man hath trod,
Descend on our apostate race.
2. Give tongues of fire and hearts of love
To preach the reconciling Word,
Give power and unction from above,
Whene’er the joyful sound is heard.
3. Be darkness, at Thy coming, light;
Confusion, order in Thy path;
Souls without strength inspire with might;
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.
4. O Spirit of the Lord, prepare
All the round earth her God to meet;
Breathe Thou abroad like morning air,
Till hearts of stone begin to beat.
5. Baptize the nations; far and nigh
The triumphs of the cross record;
The name of Jesus glorify,
Till every kindred call Him Lord.
6. God from eternity hath willed
All flesh shall His salvation see:
So be the Father’s love fulfilled,
The Savior’s sufferings crowned through Thee. Used With Tune: WINCHESTER NEW

Or, searching, find Thee out,
Who art within, a quickening Flame,
A Presence round about.

I ask not, Lord, for more;
Enough for me to know Thou art,
To love Thee and adore.

Is childlike faith to me,
That makes the darkest way I go
An open path to Thee. Used With Tune: SERENITY Text Sources: First published in the New York Inquirer

Our Day of Praise Is Done

True Light that lightenest all.

Where night can never be,
The white robed harpers of the sky
Bring ceaseless hymns to Thee.

Too soon of praise we tire;
But O the strains, how full and clear,
Of that eternal choir!
4. Yet, Lord, to Thy dear will
If Thou attune the heart,
We in Thine angels’ music still
May bear our lower part.
5. ’Tis Thine each soul to calm,
Each wayward thought reclaim,
And make our life a daily psalm
Of glory to Thy name.
6. A little while, and then
Shall come the glorious end;
And songs of angels and of men
In perfect praise shall blend.
Used With Tune: SCHUMANN

All praisèd be His name,
Who was, and is, and is to be,
And still the same!

Ere aught that now appears;
The first, the last: beyond all thought
His timeless years!
2. His Spirit floweth free,
High surging where it will;
In prophet’s word He spoke of old;
He speaketh still.
Established is His law,
And changeless it shall stand,
Deep writ upon the human heart,
On sea or land.
3. He hath eternal life
Implanted in the soul;
His love shall be our strength and stay,
While ages roll.
Praise to the living God!
All praisèd be His name,
Who was, and is, and is to be,
And still the same. Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: The Yigdal of Daniel ben Judah, a Jewish judge in Rome, circa 1400

Dearer yet and dearer,
every duty find;
Hoping still, and trusting
God without a fear,
Patiently believing
He will make all clear.
2. Calmer yet and calmer,
in the hour of pain,
Surer yet and surer,
peace at last to gain;
Suffering still and doing,
to His will resigned,
And to joy subduing
heart and will and mind.

out of clouds and sight,
Nearer yet and nearer,
rising to the Light;
Light serene and holy,
where my soul may rest,
Purified and holy,
sanctified and blessed.
4. Swifter yet and swifter,
ever onward run,
Firmer yet and firmer,
step as I go on;
Oft these earnest longings
swell within my breast,
Yet their inner meaning
ne’er can be expressed. Used With Tune: GOETHE Text Sources: Appeared in Iphigenia in Tauris, with Original Poems, 1851

And end the night of wrong.
