Thee We Adore, Eternal Name
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: CYBER #12597 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Thee we adore, Eternal Name! Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, Eternal Name!
And humbly own to Thee
How feeble is our mortal frame,
What dying worms are we.
2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still,
As months and days increase;
And every beating pulse we tell
Leaves but the number less.
3 The year rolls round, and steals away
The breath that first it gave;
Whate’er we do, where’er we be,
We’re traveling to the grave.
4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground
To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around,
To hurry mortals home.
5 Good God! on what a slender thread
Hang everlasting things!
Th’eternal states of all the dead
Upon life’s feeble strings.
6 Infinite joy or endless woe
Attends on every breath,
And yet how unconcerned we go
Upon the brink of death!
7 Waken, O Lord! our drowsy sense,
To walk this dangerous road;
And if our souls be hurried hence,
May they be found with God. Languages: English Tune Title: MENDON
Thee We Adore, Eternal Name
When All The Powers Of Nature Fail
Author: Thomas Jervis Hymnal: CYBER #12610 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When all the powers of nature fail;
When sickness shall my heart assail,
Shall every nobler part pervade,
And every earthly wish shall fade:
2 When pain, of every nerve possessed,
Shall vibrate in my throbbing breast;
Or languor o’er my senses steal,
And medicine lose its power to heal:
3 When death shall chill the vital heat;
When this fond heart shall cease to beat,
This faltering tongue forget to speak,
A mortal paleness on my cheek:
4 When my dim eyes are sunk in death,
And God who gave shall take my breath;
May He sustain my fainting heart,
And comfort to my soul impart.
5 May His bright presence bring relief
From fear, despondency, and grief:
His cheering voice direct my way
To regions of eternal day. Languages: English Tune Title: PARK STREET
When All The Powers Of Nature Fail
How Frail Are These Bodies Of Clay!
Author: Anonymous Hymnal: CYBER #12625 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How frail are these bodies of clay!
How soon all their vigor is lost!
They flourish in beauty today,
Tomorrow they mingle in dust.
2 So flow’rs in the morning may rise,
Unfolding their leaves to the sun;
The breath of each zephyr that sighs,
May blast them, and soon they are gone.
3 Afflictions spring not from the ground,
Diseases our Sovereign obey;
His hand, it can heal every wound,
Or fill us with death and dismay.
4 We lie in Thy sovereign control,
O Lord, in this hour of distress;
Physician of body and soul,
Send down Thy recovering grace.
5 Oh! speak, and the dear one shall live,
Jehovah, almighty to save!
Thy voice e’en the dead shall revive,
And triumph at last o’er the grave. Languages: English Tune Title: BEN AVON
How Frail Are These Bodies Of Clay!
O Hark Unto The Sounding Bell
Author: Paul B. Henkel Hymnal: CYBER #12644 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O hark unto the sounding bell,
What doth each stroke of tolling tell?
’Tis news to each attentive ear,
Some one is fitted for the bier.
2 Since death is licensed here to rage
Without respect to any age;
The hoary head, and youth in bloom,
Depart to their eternal home.
3 Death with an uncontrollèd force,
Will take his way and have his course;
Infectious air and pestilence
Are not repulsed by man’s defense.
4 They who had thought the world their own
Are with the meanest class cut down;
Both king and princes have to die.
And lay their pow’rs and honors by.
5 This is our just reward indeed,
What can we say, what can we plead?
Were we not warned, and warned again?
But all we heard, we heard in vain.
6 But now we feel, we learn to fear,
God’s threatened punishments are here:
What can we do, but plead and pray,
That God may turn His wrath away? Languages: English Tune Title: IRAE
O Hark Unto The Sounding Bell
Fixed Upon God As On A Rock
Author: James Edmeston Hymnal: CYBER #12647 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Fixed upon God as on a rock,
The humble soul no terror knows;
In vain the tempest’s mighty shock
Rages against its calm repose.
2 If Satan whisper thoughts of dread,
And strive to fill the soul with doubt,
Faith answers, True: but Jesus bled,
And every sin is blotted out.
3Though neither vine nor olive bear,
The herd be severed from the stall,
Faith sees eternal love e’en there,
And glorifies her God in all.
4 Though pain and sharp disease invade,
And mind and body suffer long,
Faith finds His grace sufficient aid,
And e’en in feebleness is strong.
5 In life, in death, while fixed on Thee,
Eternal all sufficient aid,
I would not doubt Thy wise decree,
But trust and never be afraid. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
Fixed Upon God As On A Rock
O Father, Glorify Thy Name!
Author: Thomas Gisborne Hymnal: CYBER #12648 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: "O Father! glorify Thy name!" Lyrics: 1 "O Father! glorify Thy name!"
So prayed, at woe’s approach, my Lord;
Disease corrodes this mortal frame:
O Father! be Thy name adored.
2 Though life’s unruffled days had flown,
Ere yet was past her vernal prime,
And sickness o’er my head has strewn
The snows of age before their time.
3 Why fear the path of grief to tread?
Why, Father! shrink from Thy decree,
If thus my longing soul be led
A safer, shorter way to Thee?
4 On wings of faith, o’er fogs of earth,
Thy servant, Father! teach to rise,
And view the blessing’s native worth,
Cleared from affliction’s dark disguise.
5 Yon clouds, a mass of sable shade
To mortals gazing from below,
By angels from above surveyed,
With universal sunshine glow. Languages: English Tune Title: CYPRUS
O Father, Glorify Thy Name!
That Solemn Day Will Soon Arrive
Author: Thomas Jervis Hymnal: CYBER #12654 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 That solemn day will soon arrive,
Th’important, the decisive day,
When, from death’s awful slumber roused,
God’s dread command all must obey.
2 Deep thunders usher in the morn,
And through the heav’ns tremendous roll:
The wide expanse is all on fire,
While lightnings blaze from pole to pole.
3 In glory, see! the Judge descends,
Arrayed in majesty and might;
Attended by ten thousand saints,
And angels of celestial light.
4 The trumpet’s loud and dreadful blast
Sounds through the regions of the dead:
With terror some, and some with joy,
Rise from the dust, their lowly bed.
5 All righteous and eternal Judge!
When summoned at Thy bar to stand,
May we, acquitted and approved,
Be crowned with bliss at Thy right hand. Languages: English Tune Title: HILKIAH
That Solemn Day Will Soon Arrive
The Heart Dejected Sighs To Know
Author: John Needham, ?-circa 1786 Hymnal: CYBER #12655 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The heart dejected sighs to know,
Why vice triumphant reigns below;
Why saints have fall’n in every age,
The victims of tyrannic rage.
2 Fast roll successive years away;
Fast hastens on th’important day,
When, to th’astonished world’s surprise,
God’s high tribunal shall arise.
3 Hark! ’tis the trumpet’s piercing sound;
The rising dead assemble round;
In close procession, see, they come,
Each to receive his final doom.
4 Lo! there, a vile, degenerate race;
Pale terror sits on every face:
Here, on the right, a joyful band,
The sons of suffering virtue stand.
5 The sentence passed, lo! these arise
To bliss and glory in the skies:
While those, who once stood high in fame,
Sink to contempt and lasting shame.
6 Thus shall God’s government appear
Without a shade, divinely fair;
And blushing doubt with joy confess,
The Lord’s a God of righteousness. Languages: English Tune Title: DEUS TUORUM MILITUM
The Heart Dejected Sighs To Know
Father! To Thy Kind Love We Owe
Author: William C. Bryant Hymnal: CYBER #12657 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Father! to Thy kind love we owe
All that is fair and good below;
Bestower of the health that lies
On tearless cheeks and cheerful eyes!
2 Giver of sunshine and of rain!
Ripener of fruits on hill and plain!
Fountain of light, that rayed afar,
Fills the vast urns of sun and star!
3 Who send’st Thy storms and frosts to bind
The plagues that rise to waste mankind;
Then breathest, o’er the naked scene,
Spring gales, and life, and tender green.
4 Yet deem we not that thus alone,
Thy mercy and Thy love are shown;
For we have learned, with higher praise,
And holier names, to speak Thy ways.
5 In woe’s dark hour, our kindest stay!
Sole trust when life shall pass away!
Teacher of hopes that light the gloom
Of death, and consecrate the tomb!
6 Patient, with headstrong guilt to bear;
Slow to avenge, and kind to spare;
Listening to prayer, and reconciled
Full quickly to Thy erring child! Languages: English Tune Title: CANONBURY
Father! To Thy Kind Love We Owe
The New Song
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: CYBER #12668 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Beyond the hills where suns go down Lyrics: 1 Beyond the hills where suns go down,
And brightly beckon as they go;
I see the land of far renown,
The land which I so soon shall know.
2 Above the dissonance of time,
And discord of its angry words,
I hear the everlasting chime,
The music of unjarring chords.
3 I bid it welcome; and my haste
To join it cannot brook delay;
O song of morning, come at last,
And ye who sing it, come away!
4 O song of light, and dawn, and bliss,
Sound over earth, and fill these skies,
Nor ever, ever, ever cease
Thy soul entrancing melodies.
5 Glad song of this disburdened earth,
Which holy voices then shall sing;
Praise for creation’s second birth,
And glory to creation’s king! Languages: English Tune Title: ABSCHIED
