Signs In The Pestilence
Author: Mark H. Forscutt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Signs in the pestilence,
Signs in the ocean’s swell,
Signs in the famine’s death-like stealth,
Th’approaching end foretell.
2 Signs in the fears of men,
Signs in their rage for war,
Signs in their general armament,
These, last-day tokens are.
3 Signs in the darkened sun,
Signs in the moon of blood,
Signs in the swiftly falling stars,
Signs all ordained by God.
4 Signs in the weal and woe
Of Israel gathering home,
Signs in the truth revealed and preached,
The latter days have come. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources:
Signs In The Pestilence
For Man the Savior Shed
Author: Jean B. de Santeuil; Isaac Williams Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. For man the Savior shed
His all atoning blood,
And, oh, shall ransomed man refuse
To suffer for his God?
2. Ashamed who now can be
To own the Crucified?
Nay, rather be our glory this,
To die for Him who died?
3. So felt Thy martyr, Lord;
By Thy right hand sustained,
He waged for Thee the battle’s strife,
And threatened death disdained.
4. Upon the golden crown
Gazing with eager breath,
He fought as one who fain would die,
And, dying, conquer death.
5. Alone he stood unmoved
Amid his cruel foes;
Oh, wondrous was the might that then
Above his torturers rose!
6. Lord, give us grace to bear
Like him our cross of shame,
To do and suffer what Thou wilt,
For love of Thy dear name.
7. Jesu, the king of saints,
We praise Thee and adore,
Who art, with God the Father One
And Spirit evermore. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Cluniac Breviary, 1686; Hymns Translated from the Parisian Breviary, 1839 ("Our Lord the Path of Suffering Trod") & the compilers of Hymns Ancient and Modern
For Man the Savior Shed
And Am I Born To Die?
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 204 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
2 A land of deepest shade,
Unpierced by human thought,
The dreary regions of the dead,
Where all things are forgot?
3 Soon as from earth I go,
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be:
4 Waked by the trumpet’s sound,
I from my grave shall rise,
And see the Judge, with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!
5 How shall I leave my tomb?
With triumph or regret?
A fearful or a joyful doom,
A curse or blessing meet?
6 Will angel bands convey
Their brother to the bar?
Or devils drag my soul away,
To meet its sentence there?
7 Who can resolve the doubt
That tears my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damned cast out,
Or numbered with the blest?
8 I must from God be driven,
Or with my Savior dwell;
Must come at His command to Heaven,
Or else—depart to hell! Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1763
And Am I Born To Die?

Still with thee, O my God
O Lord, to Thee I Cry
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Lord, to Thee I cry;
Thou art my rock and trust;
O be not silent, lest I die
And slumber in the dust.
2. O hear me when in prayer
Thy favor I entreat;
Hear, while I lift imploring hands
Before Thy mercy seat.
3. O draw me not away
With those of evil will;
With them who speak of peace indeed,
But still are plotting ill.
4. Requite them for their wrong,
Their evil deeds, O Lord;
O give them then their just desert,
And to their deeds reward.
5. Thy deeds they disregard,
Thy handiwork despise;
And therefore Thou wilt cast them down
And never let them rise.
6. But blessèd be the Lord
Who hearkens when I cry;
The Lord, my strength, my help, my shield,
On Him will I rely.
7. His help makes glad my heart,
And songs of praise I sing;
Jehovah is His people’s strength,
The Stronghold of their king.
8. Bless Thine inheritance,
Our Savior be, I pray;
Supply Thou all Thy people’s need,
And be their constant stay. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 75

In Hunger, Watch, And Prayer
Author: Francis Pott Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In hunger, watch, and prayer,
These forty days were passed
By Thee, O Jesu; and Thy love
Doth sanctify our fast.
2 Through fleshly lusts indulged,
Man lost his first estate;
Thou wouldst restore by leading us
Our flesh to subjugate.
3 Be with Thy Church, O Lord;
Our self-denials bless;
Accept the tears Thy children shed
O’er all their frowardness.
4 Forgive, most gracious Lord,
The follies we deplore,
Prevent us with Thy guiding hand
That we may sin no more.
5 So do Thou in our souls
The power of sin destroy;
And make us fit to worship Thee
With Easter’s holy joy. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Unknown author, pre-12th century; Tr.: Church Hymns (London, Society for Promoting Knowledge)
In Hunger, Watch, And Prayer
He Did Not Die In Vain
Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 He did not die in vain,
My Savior and my Lord,
The Lamb of God, for sinners slain,
The blest incarnate Word.
2 Each drop of blood He spilt
Can healing balm bestow,
And sinners lose all stains of guilt
In that most holy flow.
3 What tho' the foe still rave?
He crushed the serpent's head.
We fear nor death, nor hell, nor grave
Since He rose from the dead.
4 In yonder mansions fair,
From sin and sorrow free,
We shall His heav'nly kingdom share
And all His glory see.
5 He did not die in vain;
While endless ages roll,
The fruit of all His grief and pain
Shall satisfy His soul. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Used With Tune: ABER
