Again the Lord of life and light
Author: Mrs. Barbauld Appears in 284 hymnals Used With Tune: ST. ANN'S
Again the Lord of life and light
Now May the Spirit's Holy Fire
Author: Toplady Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now may the Spirit’s holy fire,
Descending from above,
His waiting family inspire
With joy and peace and love.
2 Great Comforter! our souls confess;
Without thy presence here,
Our songs of praise are vain address,
We utter heartless prayer.
3 Wake, heavenly wind! arise and come,
Blow on the drooping field;
Our spices, then, shall breathe perfume,
And fragrant incense yield.
4 Touch with a living coal the lip
That shall proclaim thy word;
And bid the whole assembly keep
Attention to the Lord.

The Rush May Rise
Author: Unknown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: The rush may rise where waters flow Lyrics: 1 The rush may rise where waters flow,
And flags beside the stream;
But soon their verdure fades and dies
Before the scorching beam.
2 So is the sinner’s hope cut off;
Or, if it transient rise,
’Tis like the spider’s airy web,
From every breath that flies.
3 Fixed on his house, he leans; his house,
And all its props decay:
He holds it fast; but while he holds,
The tottering frame gives way.
4 Fair is his garden, to the sun
His boughs with verdure smile;
And, deeply fixed, his spreading roots
Unshaken stand a while.
5 But forth the sentence flies from Heaven,
That sweeps him from his place;
Which then denies him for its lord,
Nor owns it knew his face.
6 Lo! this the joy of wicked men,
Who Heaven’s high laws despise;
They quickly fall; and in their room,
As quickly others rise.
7 But, for the just, with gracious care,
God will His power employ;
He’ll teach their lips to sing His praise,
And fill their hearts with joy. Used With Tune: ST ANNE

Come, Let Us Lift Our Voices High
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 53 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us lift our voices high,
High as our joys arise,
And join the songs above the sky,
Where pleasure never dies.
2 Jesus, the God that fought and bled,
And conquered when He fell;
That rose, and at His chariot wheels
Dragged all the powers of hell.
3 Jesus, our God, invites us here
To this triumphal feast,
And brings immortal blessings down
For each redeemed guest.
4 The Lord, how glorious is His face!
How kind His smiles appear!
And oh! what melting words He says
To every humble ear.
“For you, the children of My love,
It was for you I died;
Behold My hands, behold My feet,
And look into My side!
“These are the wounds for you I bore,
The tokens of My pains,
When I came down to free your souls
From misery and chains.
“Justice unsheathed its fiery sword,
And plunged it in My heart;
Infinite pangs for you I bore,
And most tormenting smart.
“When hell, and all its spiteful powers,
Stood dreadful in My way,
To rescue those dear lives of yours,
I gave My own away.
5 “But while I bled, and groaned, and died,
I ruined Satan’s throne;
High on My cross I hung, and spied
The monster tumbling down.
6 Now you must triumph at My feast,
And taste My flesh, My blood,
And live eternal ages blest,
For ’tis immortal food.
7 Victorious God! what can we pay
For favors so divine?
We would devote our hearts away
To be for ever Thine.
8 We give Thee, Lord, our highest praise,
The tribute of our tongues;
But themes so infinite as these
Exceed our noblest songs. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1709, Book III

Heav'n Has Confirmed The Great Decree
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals First Line: Heav’n has confirmed the great decree Lyrics: 1 Heav’n has confirmed the great decree,
That Adam’s race must die:
One general ruin sweeps them down,
And low in dust they lie.
2 Ye living men, the tomb survey,
Where you must quickly dwell;
Hark how the awful summons sounds
In every funeral knell!
3 Once you must die, and once for all;
The solemn purport weigh;
For know, that Heav’n and Hell are hung
On that important day.
4 Those eyes, so long in darkness veiled,
Must wake the Judge to see.
And every word, and every thought
Must pass His scrutiny.
5 O may I in the Judge behold
My Savior and my friend,
And far beyond the reach of death
With all His saints ascend. Used With Tune: ST. ANNE Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
