When gathering clouds around I view
Glory To That Victorious Grace
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Glory to that victorious grace,
Thro’ which a worm can all things do!
I stand o’erwhelmed with vast amaze,
And scarce believe the wonder true;
’Tis more than heart could e’er conceive,
I know my child is dead—and live!
2 Where is the passionate regret,
The fond complaint, and lingering smart?
Can I my sucking child forget,
So freely with my Isaac part,
So cheerfully my all resign,
And triumph in the will divine?
3 Son of my womb, my joy, my hope,
He lived, my yearning heart’s desire,
Yet lo! I gladly give him up,
No longer mine, if God require,
And with a sudden stroke remove,
Whom only less than God I love.
4 Nature would cry, "My son, my son!
O that I now had died for thee!"
But faith replies, "His will be done,
Who lent the blessing first to me;
Lent, and resumes, it is the Lord!
His will be done, His name adored!"
4 With all my soul, O Lord, I give
The child Thy love hath snatched away;
On earth I would not have him live,
With me I would not have him stay;
The sacrifice long since was o’er,
I stand to what I gave before.
6 I all have left for Jesu’s sake,
And shall I grieve to part with one!
No, if a wish could call him back,
I would not have my darling son
Brought from his everlasting rest,
Snatched from his heav’nly Father’s breast.
7 Pass a few fleeting days, or years,
And I shall see my child again;
When Jesus in the clouds appears,
With Him I shall in glory reign,
I and the children He hath giv’n,
Inseparably joined in Heav’n. Used With Tune: BARRAGH Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, Vol. 1, 1749
Glory To That Victorious Grace
Spirit Of Heav'nly Counsel, Come
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Spirit of heav’nly counsel, come Lyrics: 1 Spirit of heav’nly counsel, come,
Our legislators teach Thy will;
To stay a sinking nation’s doom,
The wisdom from above reveal;
Nor let them join the impious crowd,
Nor let them scorn to fear their God.
2 The wisdom that departs from sin,
The gracious principle infuse,
To keep their hands and conscience clean,
To fit them for their Savior’s use;
Now, Savior, now to each impart
A single eye, and upright heart.
3 Now let the generous patriots rise,
The burden of our land to share,
With pleasure, luxury, and vice
To wage an everlasting war,
Bold to defend religion’s cause,
And glory in Thy slighted cross.
4 Their first concern, their foremost aim,
Thy kingdom to advance below,
While all united in Thy name
Their zeal for thy officials show,
Upon their hearts their country take,
And love, and save her for Thy sake. Used With Tune: BARRAGH Text Sources: Hymns of Intercession for All Mankind (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1758)

The sheep which Thou hast summoned hence;

To hear the gladsome bridal song,
To see Thee in Thy royal state? [Refrain]

Make up the jewels speedily,
And set them in Thy golden crown. [Refrain]

And bring us, perfected with them,
To dwell within Thy city bright,
The heavenly Jerusalem. [Refrain] Used With Tune: BARRAGH Text Sources: Priest's Prayer Book, 1864
O Lord, to Whom the Spirits Live
Ye Angels, Put The Sickle In
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Ye angels, put the sickle in,
The world is now mature in sin,
The press is full, the vats o’erflow;
The Lord’s decisive day is near,
And countless multitudes appear
Before His judgment seat below.
2 The sun shall set in endless night,
The moon and stars withdraw their light,
The shattered earth’s foundations groan,
The ruined heav’ns His wrath shall feel,
And nature’s last convulsions tell
That Israel’s strength remains alone! Used With Tune: BARRAGH Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
