Christians! The Glorious Hope Ye Know

Author: John Cawood Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Christians! the glorious hope ye know Which soothes the heart in every woe, While heathens helpless, hopeless lie: No ray of glory meets their eye. O give to their desiring sight The hope that Jesus brought to light. 2 Christians! ye taste the heavenly grace Which cheers believers in their race. Uncheered by grace, through heathen gloom See millions hastening to the tomb. To heathen lands that grace convey, Which trains the soul for endless day. 3 Christians! ye prize the Savior’s blood, In which the soul is cleansed for God. Millions of souls in darkness dwell, With none a Savior’s love to tell. O strive, that heathens soon may view That precious blood which cleanseth you!

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: True witness of the Father’s love Lyrics: 1 True witness of the Father’s love, Celestial messenger divine, Come in Thy Spirit from above, The hearts which Thou hast made incline, Thy faithful record to receive That all may hear Thy voice and live. 2 Send forth the everlasting Word, The Word of reconciling grace, That all may know their bleeding Lord, The freely proffered gift embrace, Hang on the all-atoning Lamb, And bless the sound of Jesus’ name. 3 Jesu, Thou only hast the key, Open the great effectual door, Extend Thy line from sea to sea, And glorify Thy mercy’s power, Redeem the wretched slaves of sin, And force Thy rebels to come in. 4 Now to Thy yoke their spirits bow, Thy way into their hearts prepare, Be present with Thy servants now, With me Thy meanest messenger, Who humbly at Thy bidding come, To call my fellow exiles home. 5 Fisher of men ordained by Thee, O might I catch them by Thy love! Thy love be first bestowed on me, And while the pleasing power I prove, My tongue shall echo to my heart, And tell the world how good Thou art. 6 Teach me to cast my net aright, The Gospel net of general grace, So shall I all to Thee invite, And draw them to their Lord’s embrace, Within Thine arms of love include, And catch a willing multitude. 7 O might I every mourner cheer, And trouble every heart of stone, Save, under Thee, the souls that hear, Nor lose, in seeking them, my own, Nor basely from my calling fly, But for Thy Gospel live, and die.

The Heavens Declare Thy Glory

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: The heav’ns declare Thy glory, Lord Lyrics: 1 The heav’ns declare Thy glory, Lord, Thy love is written in Thy Word; And we behold Thy blessèd face In works of power, and words of grace; We see Thee, Lord, whene’er we look In nature, and in Scripture’s book. 2 Thy own prophetic Word of old Thy future birthplace had foretold; That Word’s fulfillment now is grav’n In spangled pages in the heav’ns; The star proclaims of David’s stem The King newborn at Bethlehem. 3 The Gentile sages from afar, Traversing paths lit by a star, To Judah come; the heav’nly ray Of prophecy then points the way; They see the star again appear; How great their joy! for Thou art here! 4 Not staggered by Thy low estate— To sense how low, to faith, how great! Myrrh, frankincense, and gold they bring To Thee as man, as Lord, and King; To Thee they open all their store, And in the Child their God adore. 5 Lord, make us keen of eye to heed All lights, by which Thou wouldst us lead; Help us to toil o’er plain and hill, In glad obedience to Thy will; To see by faith and humbly fall, And give to Thee, who givest all. 6 Thou first to Gentiles wast displayed An infant in a cradle laid; But all shall see Thee on Thy Throne, And Thee their judge and king shall own; All kings before Thee shall fall low, And every knee to Jesus bow. 7 Lord, may the isles Thy law receive, And they, who know Thee not, believe; Arise, and on the nations shine; Thy preachers fill with grace divine; That all the world at length may see The light of Thine epiphany.
