O King of kings, Thy blessing shed
What Mysteries, Lord, In Thee Combine
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: What mysteries, Lord, in Thee combine! Lyrics: 1 What mysteries, Lord, in Thee combine!
Jesus, once mortal, yet divine:
The first, the last, the end, the head,
The source of life among the dead.
2 O love, beyond the stretch of thought!
What matchless wonders hath it wrought!
My faith, while she the grace declares,
Trembles beneath the load she bears.
3 Hail, royal Conqueror o’er the grave,
In pity tender, strong to save!
For ever live, for ever reign,
And prosperous may Thy throne remain!
4 Thy saints, obedient to Thy word,
With humble joy surround Thy board,
And long as time pursues its race,
Proclaim Thy death, and shout Thy grace.
5 In fullest choir, where angels join
Their harps of melody divine,
Thy death inspires a song of praise,
New through Thy life’s eternal days. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

O Lord, By Thy Supporting Hand
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, by Thy supporting hand,
We enter on another year;
And now we meet at Thy command,
To seek Thy gracious presence here.
2 Have mercy on our numerous youth,
Who, young in years, are old in sin;
And by Thy spirit and Thy truth,
Show them the state their souls are in.
3 Then, by a Savior’s dying love
To every wounded heart revealed,
Temptations, fears, and guilt remove,
And be their sun, and strength, and shield.
4 To mourners speak a cheering word,
On seeking souls vouchsafe to shine;
Let poor backsliders be restored,
And all Thy saints in praises join.
5 O hear our prayer and give us hope,
That when Thy voice shall call us home,
Thou still wilt raise a people up,
To love and praise, no more to roam.

I Love The Lord, Who Died For Me
Author: John Cennick, 1718-1755 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 I love the Lord, who died for me,
I love His grace, divine and free;
I love the Scriptures, there I read
Christ loved me, and for me did bleed.
2 I love His tears and sufferings great,
I love His precious bloody sweat,
I love His blood: were that not spilt,
I could not have been freed from guilt.
3 I love to hear that He was slain,
I love His every grief and pain,
I love to meditate by faith
Upon His meritorious death.
4 I love Mount Calvary, where His love
Stronger than death itself doth prove;
I love to walk His dolorous way,
I love the grave, where Jesus lay.
5 I love His people and their ways,
I love with them to pray and praise;
I love the Father, and the Son,
I love the Spirit He sent down.
6 I love to think the time will come
When I shall be with Him at home,
And praise Him in eternity:
Then shall my love completed be. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS

How Beautiful His Feet Appear
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How beautiful His feet appear
High on the mountain tops, who brings
Glad tidings of salvation near,
Salvation from the King of kings!
2 Who publishes the joyful sound,
Proclaims a peace ’twixt earth and Heaven,
A ransom for the sinner found,
God reconciled, and man forgiven.
3 That says to Israel’s mournful race,
"Awake, arise, shake off thy chains";
Believe the word of Gospel grace,
Thy God, thy great Redeemer reigns.
4 Thy watchmen shall the voice lift up,
Shall sing with gladsome melody,
Object of all their joy and hope,
When eye to eye their Lord they see.
5 Him, eye to eye, shall they behold,
Shall shout to see the Savior come,
To save a world redeemed of old,
To bring the weary captives home.
6 Break forth in joy, your gladness sing,
Employ your all for Christ, your king;
Rejoice, and Him Messiah claim:
Bestowing praise, live in His name.
7 For Christ the Lord doth comfort man,
Erases sin with mighty hand:
To Heav’n we rise from from Adam’s fall:
His life He gave to ransom all.
8 His arm He bared, in mercy, grace,
Prepared a pardon for our race;
His merit, shown to all men’s sight,
We may inherit as our right.
9 The Gentiles hear the saving call:
His grace appears and visits all;
A common ransom doth belong
To every nation, tribe and, tongue. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems 1742, alt.
How Beautiful His Feet Appear
Supreme Of Beings, With Delight
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Supreme of beings, with delight
Our eyes survey this heav’nly sight;
And trace with admiration sweet
The beaming splendors of Thy feet.
2 Jasper and sapphire strive in vain
To paint the glories of Thy train;
Thy robes all stream eternal light,
Too powerful for a cherub’s sight.
3 Yet round Thy throne the rainbow shines,
Fair emblem of Thy kind designs:
Bright pledge, that speaks Thy covenant sure
Long as Thy kingdom shall endure.
4 No more shall deluges of woe
Thy new-created world o’erflow;
Jesus, our sun, His beams displays,
And gilds the clouds with beauteous rays.
5 No gems so bright, no forms so fair;
Mercy and truth full triumph there:
Thy saints shall bless the peaceful sign,
When stars and suns forget to shine.
6 E’en here, while storms and gloomy shade
And horrors all the scene o’erspread,
Faith views the throne with piercing eye,
And boasts, the rainbow still is nigh. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns, Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures by Job Orton (Shropshire, England: Joshua Eddowes & John Cotton, 1755)
Supreme Of Beings, With Delight
Come, O My Chosen People, Come
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Come, O my chosen people come Lyrics: 1 Come, O my chosen people come,
Far from the evil world retire,
Wise to escape th’impending doom,
The weight of Heaven’s vindictive ire.
2 Enter into thy secret place,
With silent awe thy God adore,
Hide thee for one short moment’s space,
And rest till all the wrath be o’er.
3 For lo! the Lord from Heaven comes down,
Vengeance on sinful man to take;
The world shall tremble at His frown,
The earth shall to her center quake.
4 The earth shall at His word her blood
Disclose, nor longer hide her slain;
The dead shall rise to meet their God,
And sink into eternal pain. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS Text Sources: Hymns for Times of Trouble and Persecution by John and Charles Wesley (London: Strahan, 1744)
Come, O My Chosen People, Come
Though Cloudy Skies and Northern Blasts
Author: John Newton Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Though cloudy skies and northern blasts
Retard the gentle spring awhile;
The sun will conqueror prove at last,
And nature wear a vernal smile.
2 The promise which from age to age,
Has brought the changing seasons round;
Again shall calm the winter’s rage,
Perfume the air, and paint the ground.
3 The virtue of that first command,
I know still does, and will prevail;
That while the earth itself shall stand,
The spring and summer shall not fail.
4 Such changes are for us decreed;
Believers have their winters too;
But spring shall certainly succeed,
And all their former life renew.
5 Winter and spring have each their use,
And each, in turn, his people know;
One kills the weeds their hearts produce,
The other makes their graces grow.
6 Though like dead trees awhile they seem,
Yet having life within their root,
The welcome spring’s reviving beam
Draws forth their blossoms, leaves, and fruit.
7 But if the tree indeed be dead,
It feels no change, though spring return,
Its leafless, naked, barren head,
Proclaims it only fit to burn.
8 Dear Lord, afford our souls a spring,
Thou know’st our winter has been long;
Shine forth, and warm our hearts to sing,
And Thy rich grace shall be our song. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 2
Though Cloudy Skies and Northern Blasts
The Lord, The Judge, His Churches Warns
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: The Lord the Judge His churches warns Lyrics: 1 The Lord the Judge His churches warns:
Let hypocrites attend and fear
Who place their hope in rites and forms,
But make not faith nor love their care.
2 Vile wretches dare rehearse His name
With lips of falsehood and deceit;
A friend or brother they defame,
And soothe and flatter those they hate.
3 They watch to do their neighbors wrong,
Yet dare to seek their maker’s face;
They take His covenant on their tongue,
But break His Laws, abuse His grace.
4 To Heav’n they lift their hands unclean,
Defiled with lust, defiled with blood;
By night they practice every sin,
By day their mouths draw near to God.
5 And while His judgments long delay,
They grow secure and sin the more;
They think He sleeps as well as they,
And put far off the dreadful hour.
6 O dreadful hour! when God draws near,
And sets their crimes before their eyes!
His wrath their guilty souls shall tear,
And no deliverer dare to rise. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
The Lord, The Judge, His Churches Warns
Who Shall Condemn To Endless Flames
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Who shall condemn to endless flames
The chosen people of our God;
Since in the book of life their names
Are fairly writ in Jesu’s blood.
2 He, for the sins of His elect,
Hath a complete atonement made:
Stern justice views without defect
The work He wrought, the price He paid.
3 Not tribulation, nakedness,
The famine, peril, or the sword;
Not persecution, or distress,
Can separate from Christ the Lord.
4 Nor life, nor death, nor depth, nor height,
Nor powers below, nor powers above;
Not present things, nor things to come,
Can change His purposes of love.
5 His sovereign mercy knows no end,
His faithfulness shall still endure:
And those who on His truth depend,
Shall find His word for ever sure. Used With Tune: KING OF KINGS Text Sources: Selection of Hymns from the Best Authors, by John Rippon (William Durrell, 1792))
