Yes, for me, for me He careth With a brother’s tender care; Yes with me, with me He shareth Every burden, every fear.

Yes for me He standeth pleading At the mercy seat above; Ever for me interceding, Constant in untiring love. Yes, in me, in me He dwelleth; I in Him, and He in me!

Zion's King Shall Reign Victorious

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 36 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Zion’s king shall reign victorious, All the earth shall own His sway; He will make His kingdom glorious, He will reign through endless day. What though none on earth assist Him, God requires not help from man; What though all the world resist Him, God will realize His plan. 2. Nations now from God estrangèd, Then shall see a glorious light, Night to day shall then be changèd, Heaven shall triumph in the sight; See the ancient idols falling! Worshipped once, but now abhorred; Men on Zion’s king are calling, Zion’s king by all adored. 3. Then shall Israel, long dispersèd, Mourning seek the Lord their God, Look on Him whom once they piercèd, Own and kiss the chastening rod; Then all Israel shall be savèd, War and tumult then shall cease, While the greater Son of David Rules a conquered world in peace.

Drummond Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 44 hymnals First Line: A voice from the desert comes awful and shrill Lyrics: 1 A voice from the desert comes awful and shrill: The Lord is advancing—prepare ye the way; The word of Jehovah He comes to fulfill, And o’er the dark world pour the splendor of day. 2 Bring down the proud mountain, though towering to Heaven, And be the low valley exalted on high! The rough path and crooked be made smooth and even, For, Sion, your king, your Redeemer, is nigh. 3 The beams of salvation His progress illume, The lone, dreary wilderness sings of her God; The rose and the myrtle will suddenly bloom, The olive of peace spread its branches abroa Used With Tune: GORDON Text Sources: Who Are the Happy?, 1818

The Deluge At Th'Almighty's Call

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals First Line: The deluge at th’Almighty’s call Lyrics: 1 The deluge at th’Almighty’s call, In what impetuous streams it fell! Swallowed the mountains in its rage, And swept a guilty world to hell. 2 In vain the tallest sons of pride Fled from the close pursuing wave, Nor could their mightiest towers defend, Nor swiftness ’scape, nor courage save. 3 How dire the wreck! how loud the roar! How shrill the universal cry Of millions in the last despair, Re-echoed from the lowering sky. 4 Yet Noah, humble, happy saint! Surrounded by a chosen few, Sat in his ark secure from fear, And sang the grace that steered him ’thro. 5 So may I sing, in Jesus safe, When storms of vengeance round me fall; Conscious how high my hopes are fixed, Beyond what shakes this earthly ball. 6 Enter thine ark, while patience waits, Nor ever quit that sure retreat; Then the wide flood which buries earth, Shall waft thee to a fairer seat. 7 Nor wreck nor ruin there is seen; There not a wave of trouble rolls; But the bright rainbow round the throne Seals endless life to all their souls.

Lord, I Esteem Thy Judgments Right

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, I esteem Thy judgments right, And all Thy statutes just; Thence I maintain a constant fight With every flattering lust. 2 Thy precepts often I survey; I keep Thy law in sight, Through all the business of the day, To form my actions right. 3 My heart in midnight silence cries, "How sweet Thy comforts be!" My thoughts in holy wonder rise, And bring their thanks to Thee. 4 And when my spirit drinks her fill At some good word of Thine, Not mighty men that share the spoil Have joys compared to mine.

Naked As From The Earth We Came

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Naked as from the earth we came, And crept to life at first; We to the earth return again, And mingle with our dust. 2 The dear delights we here enjoy, And fondly call our own, Are but short favors borrowed now To be repaid anon. 3 ’Tis God that lifts our comforts high, Or sinks them in the grave; He gives and (blessèd be His name!) He takes but what He gave. 4 Peace, all our angry passions then! Let each rebellious sigh Be silent at His sovereign will, And every murmur die. 5 If smiling mercy crown our lives, Its praises shall be spread; And we’ll adore the justice, too, That strikes our comforts dead.

Rejoice, Believer, In The Lord

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, believer, in the Lord Who makes your cause His own; The hope that’s built upon His Word, Can ne’er be overthrown. 2 Though many foes beset your road, And feeble is your arm; Your life is hid with Christ in God Beyond the reach of harm. 3 Weak as you are, you shall not faint, Or fainting shall not die; Jesus, the strength of every saint, Will aid you from on high. 4 Though sometimes unperceived by sense, Faith sees Him always near; A guide, a glory, a defense, Then what have you to fear? 5 As surely as He overcame, And triumphed once for you; So surely you, that love His name, Shall triumph in Him too.

Fröhlich Soll Mein Herze Springen

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 85 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen Dieser Zeit, Da vor Freud’ Alle Engel singen. Hört, hört, wie mit vollen Chören Alle Luft Laute ruft: Christus ist geboren! 2 Heute geht aus seiner Kammer Gottes Held, Der die Welt Reisst aus allem Jammer. Gott wird Mensch dir, Mensch, zugute. Gottes Kind, Das verbind’t Sich mit unserm Blute. 3 Sollt’ uns Gott nin können hassen, Der uns gibt, Was er liebt Über alle Massen? Gott gibt, unserm Leid zu wehren, Seinen Sohn Aus dem Thron Seiner Macht und Ehren. 4 Sollte von uns sein gekehret, Der sein Reich und zugleich Sich uns selbst verehret? Sollt’ uns Gottes Sohn nicht lieben, Der jetzt kömmt, Von uns nimmt, Was uns will betrueben? 5 Hätte vor der Menschen Orden Unser Heil Einen Greu’l, Wär’er nicht Mensch worden. Hätt’ er Lust zu unserm Schaden, Ei, so würd’ Unsre Bürd’ Er nicht auf sich laden. 6 Er nimmt auf sich, was auf Erden Wir getan, Gibt sich an, Unser Lamm zu werden, Unser Lamm, das für uns stirbet Und bei Gott für den Tod Gnad’ und Fried’ erwirbet. 7 Nun, er liegt in seiner Krippen, Ruft zu sich Mich und dich, Spricht mit suessen Lippen: Lasset fahr’n, o liebe Brueder, Was euch quaelt, Was euch fehlt, Ich bring’ alles wieder. 8 Ei, so kommt und lasst uns laufen! Stellt euch ein, Gross und klein, Eilt mit grossem Haufen! Liebt den, der vor Liebe brennet; Schaut den Stern, Der uns gern Licht und Labsal goennet. 9 Die ihr schwebt in grossen Leiden, Sehet, hier Ist die Tuer Zu den wahren Freuden. Fasst ihn wohl, er wird euch führen An den Ort, Da hinfort Euch kein Kreuz wird rühren. 10 Wer sich fühlt beschwert im Herzen, Wer empfind’t Seine Sünd’ Und Gewissensschmerzen, Sei getrost, hier wird gefunden, Der in Eil’ Machet heil Die vergift’ten Wunden. 11 Die ihr arm seid und elende, Kommt herbei, Füllet frei Eures Glaubens Hände! Hier sind alle guten Gaben Und das Gold, Da ihr sollt Euer Herz mit laben. 12 Süsses Heil, lass dich umfangen, Lass mich dir, Meine Zier, Unverrückt anhangen! Du bist meines Lebens Leben; Nun kann ich Mich durch dich Wohl zufrieden geben. 13 Meine Schuld kann mich nicht drücken, Denn du hast Meine Last All’ auf deinem Rücken. Kein Fleck ist an mir zu finden, Ich bin gar Rein und klar Aller meiner Sünden. 14 Ich bin rein um deinetwillen; Du gibst g’nug Ehr’ und Schmuck, Mich darein zu hüllen. Ich will dich ins Herze schliessen; O mein Ruhm, Edle Blum’, Lass dich recht geniessen! 15 Ich will dich mit Fleiss bewahren, Ich will dir Leben hier, Dir will ich abfahren; Mit dir will ich endlich schweben Voller Freud’ Ohne Zeit Dort im andern Leben.

Lord Jesus, Who Didst Once Appear

Author: John Berridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, who didst once appear To grace a marriage feast; We now beseech Thy presence here, To make this wedding blest.

And looking to their heav’nly home, Oh, may they dwell each day, As heirs of life till Thou shalt come To take Thy bride away. Used With Tune: DRINK TO ME ONLY Text Sources: Sion's Songs 1842 ed.
