Thomas With The Ten
Author: Herbert Kynaston Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: O, enter then the Temple, when Lyrics: 1 O, enter then the Temple, when
The Lord still passes in;
The one without was first to doubt,
The blessing last to win.
O cruel! must thy hand be thrust
Thy source of life so near;
Thy Lord assail, hard as the nail,
Unkinder than the spear?
2 Yet, see, He comes with peace again,
With only peace to all;
No breathing now upon the brow
Where soon the fire shall fall:
Scarce will that eye His wounds descry,
No hand He now extends;
How should that flesh be probed afresh
Here, in the house of friends?
3 So now, thy Lord, thy God confess,
Believe and worship, too,
And first adore—yet they have more
Who deem the witness true.
Thy faith has been but what was seen—
Blest they who still believe
What eye nor ear shall see or hear,
Nor heart of man conceive!
4 O, on my body, not on Thine,
Lord Jesus, let me see
The blessèd marks of love divine,
Which Thou hast borne for me;
Compunctions sweet on hands and feet,
The pierced, the open heart;
Or e’er, without one faithless doubt,
I see Thou as Thou art. Used With Tune: ADAMSTOWN Text Sources: Occasional Hymns (London: R. Clay, Son & Taylor, 1862)

When Will My Sweet Release Be Signed?
Author: Susannah Harrison Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: When will my sweet release be signed Lyrics: 1 When will my sweet release be signed,
To quit this house of clay?
When shall my spirit, unconfined,
To glory wing her way?
2 O how I loathe this mortal life,
I hate this slavish fear;
I long to end this tedious strife
With sin and sorrow here.
3 I long to see a smiling God,
In everlasting light;
When shall I reach His blest abode,
And gain th’enraptured sight?
4 My towering thoughts disdain to roll
Amongst these earthly toys;
Jesus is dearer to my soul
Than life with all its joys.
5 Make haste, my days, fly faster still,
And bring me to the place,
To that delightful, holy hill,
Where Jesus shows His face.
6 Why am I chained to earth so long,
Exposed to every snare?
When shall I join the heav’nly throng,
And dwell for ever there? Used With Tune: ADAMSTOWN Text Sources: Songs in the Night (Ipswich, England: Punchard & Jermyn, 1780)
