Like Sheep We Went Astray

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 140 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Like sheep we went astray, And broke the fold of God, Each wandering in a different way, But all the downward road. 2. How dreadful was the hour When God our wanderings laid And did at once His vengeance pour, Upon the Shepherd’s head! 3. How glorious was the grace When Christ sustained the stroke! His life and blood the Shepherd pays A ransom for the flock. 4. His honor and His breath Were taken both away, Joined with the wicked in His death, And made as vile as they. 5. But God shall raise His head O’er all the sons of men, And make Him see a numerous seed, To recompense His pain. 6. I’ll give Him, saith the Lord, A portion with the strong; He shall possess a large reward; And hold His honors long.

The mother at rest

Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: She sleeps--a weary one Lyrics: 1 She sleeps--a weary one-- Rash boy, arouse her not; Her slumbers will be past full soon, For toilsome is her lot. 2 She sleeps--be quiet, now, Thou young and thoughtless child, Look on thy mother's placid brow, Thy words be low and mild. 3 Through many a silent night She's watch'd with thee alone; And found no joy with morning light, When joy from thee was gone. 4 When sickness laid thee low, She sat beside thy bed; When fever burn'd upon thy brow, Her cool hand there was laid. 5 Then softly, gently tread, And speak in accents low; How soon she'll sleep as sleep the dead, O child, thou canst not know.

"The Lord is ris'n indeed"

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 104 hymnals Lyrics: 1 "The Lord is ris'n indeed," And are the tidings true? Yes, we beheld the Savior bleed, And saw Him living too. 2 "The Lord is ris'n indeed," Then justice asks no more; Mercy and Truth are now agreed, Who stood opposed before. 3 "The Lord is ris'n indeed," Then is the work performed; The captive surely now is freed, And death, our foe, disarmed. 4 "The Lord is ris'n indeed," Attending angels hear; Up to the courts of heav'n, with speed, The joyful tidings bear. 5 Then take your golden lyres, And strike each cheerful chord; Join all the bright celestial choirs To sing our risen Lord.

And shall we still be slaves

Author: Anon. Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summoned by a voice divine T'assert our liberty. 2 Did the great Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on His blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because Thy grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all His wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That those for whom Thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. Amen. Topics: Bondage; Freedom in Christ; Lent; Sanctification Used With Tune: PENTONVILLE
