And Truly It Is a Most Glorious Thing

Author: William Bradford Meter: 10.10.10 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. And truly it is a most glorious thing Thus to hear men pray and God’s praises sing, O how great comfort is it now to see— The churches to enjoy full liberty. And to have the Gospel preachèd here with power, And such wolves repelled as all would else devour. 2. But God will still for His people provide Such as be able them to help and guide, If they cleave to Him and do not forsake— His laws and truth and their own ways do take. If thou hast viewed the camp of Israel, How God in the wilderness with them did dwell. 3. His great and marvelous works they here saw, And He them taught in His most holy law, A small emblem hereof thou mayest see, How God hath dealt with them in some degree, For much of Himself they now there have seen, And marvelous to them His works have been.

O Word immortal of eternal God, Only begotten of the only source, For our salvation stooping to the course Of human life, and born of Mary’s blood. In equal honor with the Holy Ghost, And with th’eternal Father glorified. 2. Sprung from the ever virgin womanhood Of her who bare Thee, God immutable, Incarnate, made as man with man to dwell, And condescending to the bitter Rood; In equal honor with the Holy Ghost, And with th’eternal Father glorified. 3. Save us, O Christ, our God, for Thou hast died To save Thy people to the uttermost, And dying tramplest death in victory; One of the ever blessèd Trinity, In equal honor with the Holy Ghost, And with th’eternal Father glorified.

The Day Is Come

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 10.10.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The day is come, the solemn day of doom Lyrics: 1 The day is come, the solemn day of doom; The Judge appears upon a shining cloud; And all mankind is wakened from the tomb By the archangel’s trumpet, clear and loud. The dead come forth; and all, both small and great, Are summoned to God’s awful judgment seat. 2 Ten thousand angels are around their Lord, Forth issues from His throne a fiery flood; And with the mighty mandate of His word He separates the wicked from the good; These on the right—those on the other hand— Waiting their everlasting sentence stand. 3 Hide us, ye hills, ye mountains, on us fall! With fear and piercing shrieks the guilty cry, And to the caves and rocks for succor call, Hide us, O hide us from His searching eye; O save us from the fury of His ire, From the undying worm and lake of fire! 4 But O what joys the saints of God await! Bliss unalloyed, and sunshine without night; Christ opens wide to them His palace gate, And bids them drink of pleasures infinite; God wipes all tears for ever from their eyes, And gives to them the life that never dies. 5 Thou Christ, who came from Heav’n our wounds to cure, And all the works of Satan to destroy, O purify us, Lord, as Thou art pure, That we may come to that unsullied joy, And fashioned in Thy glorious image be, And, by Thy grace divine, be like to Thee!

Author: Francis Kinwelmersh Meter: 10.10.10 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: From virgin’s womb this Christmas day did spring Lyrics: 1 From virgin’s womb this Christmas day did spring The precious seed that only savèd man; This day let man rejoice and sweetly sing, Since on this day salvation first began. This day did Christ man’s soul from death remove, With glorious saints to dwell in Heav’n above. 2 This day to man came pledge of perfect peace; This day to man came love and unity; This day man’s grief began for to surcease; This day did man receive a remedy For each offense and every deadly sin, With guilty heart that erst he wandered in. 3 Now in Christ’s flock let love be surely placed; Now from Christ’s flock let concord hate expel; Now of Christ’s flock let love so be embraced, As we in Christ, and Christ in us may dwell. Christ is the author of all unity, From whence proceedeth all felicity. 4 O sing unto this glittering, glorious King; O praise His name let every living thing; Let heart and voice like bells of silver ring, The comfort that this Christmas day did bring; Let lute, let shalm, with sound of sweet delight, The joy of Christ’s birth on this day recite.

Since Through God's Mercy

Author: Susan H. Peterson Meter: 10.10.10 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Since through God's mercy this ministry's ours Lyrics: 1. Since through God’s mercy this ministry’s ours, Bringing men righteousness through God’s great power, We don’t lose heart but renounce shameful ways; We don’t deceive but the truth plainly say. To unbelievers our message is veiled; They are made blind by the god of this world. But God who said, Let the dark turn to light, Shined in our hearts with His glory so bright. 2. We are hard pressed on all sides but not crushed; We are perplexed, but we never give up; We’re persecuted but not left by God; We are struck down, but we’re never destroyed. We have this treasure in jars made of clay, That God’s great power and not ours be displayed. Within our bodies Christ’s death do we show, That Jesus’ life in us now may be known. 3. We know we’ll be raised with Jesus one day; Therefore, our trials do not cause dismay. Though on the outside we’re wasting away, Inwardly we are renewed day by day. Our present troubles will soon pass away; Eternal glory they’ll bring us some day. We fix our eyes not on what we can see; Only the unseen will eternal be. Used With Tune: WHITTLE
