The Roseate Hues of Early Dawn

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 139 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. The roseate hues of early dawn, the brightness of the day, The crimson of the sunset sky, how fast they fade away! O for the pearly gates of Heav’n! O for the golden floor! O for the sun of righteousness that setteth nevermore! 2. The highest hopes we cherish here, how fast they tire and faint! How many a spot defiles the robe that wraps an earthly saint! O for a heart that never sins! O for a soul washed white! O for a voice to praise our king, nor weary day or night! 3. Here faith is ours, and heavenly hopes, and grace to lead us higher; But there are perfectness and peace beyond our best desire. O by Thy love and anguish, Lord, O by Thy life laid down, Grant that we fall not from Thy grace, nor cast away our crown! Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Thou art the mighty King of kings, The Lord of lords most high: Israel is safe beneath Thy wings; Thy servant shall not die. Through Thee we shall the victory gain, Though hosts of hell oppose: Thou art our God; and Thou wilt reign, And conquer all our foes. 2. We trust not in our bow or sword; For weakness is our pow’r: In Thee we trust, Almighty Lord, Through every dangerous hour, To Thee we look, Thou God of love, Thy holy name adore: Oh, may we rise to Heav’n above, To love and praise Thee more.

Ye Sons of Pride

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 37 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Ye sons of pride, that hate the just Lyrics: 1. Ye sons of pride, that hate the just And trample on the poor, When death has brought you down to dust, Your pomp shall rise no more. 2. The last great day shall change the scene; When will that hour appear? When shall the just revive and reign O’er all that scorned them here? 3. God will my naked soul receive When separate from the flesh; And break the prison of the grave, To raise my bones afresh. 4. Heaven is my everlasting home, The inheritance is sure: Let men of pride their rage resume, But I’ll repine no more. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

The prophets spoke of mercy, Of freedom and release; God shall fulfill his promise And bring his people peace. 2 He from the house of David A child of grace has giv'n; A Savior comes among us To raise us up to heav'n. Before him goes his herald, Forerunner in the way, The prophet of salvation, The harbinger of day. 3 On prisoners of darkness The sun begins to rise, The dawning of forgiveness Upon the sinner's eyes. He guides the feet of pilgrims Along the paths of peace. Oh, bless our God and Savior With songs that never cease! Topics: Hymns of the Liturgy; Hymns of the Liturgy Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Let saints on earth in concert sing

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 175 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King, In earth and heaven are one. One family--we dwell in Him-- One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream-- The narrow stream of death. 2 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of the host have crossed the flood, And part are crossing now. E'en now to their eternal home Some happy spirits fly; And we are to the margin come, And soon will have to die. 3 E'en now, by faith, we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the ransomed blessèd bands Upon th'eternal shore. Lord Jesus, be our constant guide; And when the word is given. Bid death's cold flood its waves divide, And land us safe in heaven. Amen.
