Brother and friend, with heart and voice

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #247 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Brother and friend, with heart and voice, We greet thee on this festal morn; None but the Christian can rejoice In deed and truth, that he was born. Since to this evil world you came, Your heavenly birth-right have you prized? In Father, Son, and Spirit's hame, Were you not from that world baptized? Then dead to sin, alive to God, Whate'er you feel, or seek, or do, Along the path our Saviour trod, Meekly his blessed steps pursue. 250 So shall the Father cause his face To shine on you while life endures, So be the Son's redeeming grace, The Holy Ghost's communion, yours. So may we all with heart and voice Sing at the resurrection morn, And through eternity rejoice, At God's right hand, that we were born. Topics: Birthday Languages: English

Call Jehovah thy salvation

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #145 (1854) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: Call Jehovah thy salvation, Rest beneath the Almighty's shade, In his secret habitation Dwell, and never be dismay'd: There no tumult shall alarm thee, Thou shalt dread no hidden snare, Guile nor violence can harm thee In eternal safeguard there. From the sword at noon-day wasting, From the noisome pestilence, In the depth of midnight blasting, God shall be thy sure defence; Fear not thou the deadly quiver, When a thousand feel the blow, Mercy shall thy soul deliver, Though ten thousand be laid low. Only with thine eyes the anguish Of the wicked thou shalt see, When by slow disease they languish, When they perish suddenly: 149 Thee, though winds and waves be swelling, God, thine hope, shall bear through all; Plague shall not come nigh thy dwelling, Thee no evil shall befall. He shall charge his angel legions, Watch and ward o'er thee to keep; Though thou walk through hostile regions, Though in desert wilds thou sleep: On the lion vainly roaring, On his young, thy foot shall tread, And, the dragon's den exploring, Thou shalt bruise the Serpent's head. Since, with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of His protection He will shield thee from above: Thou shalt call on Him in trouble, He will hearken, He will save, Here for grief reward thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave.

Children of Zion, know your King

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #240 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Children of Zion, know your King, Your own Messiah hail: Hosanna in His temple sing, For He hath rent the veil. Himself the sacrifice for sin, As your High-Priest He died; With His own blood, He enter'd in,-- Behold Him crucified! Behold Him on the Mercy-seat, High in the holiest place; Now cast yourselves before His feet, Then rise to see His face. That face with reconciling beams Shines forth upon you all; No longer mourn by Babel's streams, He calls you,--hear His call. So shall your hearts within you burn; While guided by His voice, With songs to Zion you return, And in your God rejoice. 241 At His great name, bow every knee; Let every tongue confess Christ, whom your fathers slew, is HE, The Lord your Righteousness.

Come and behold the works of God

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #88 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: Come, and behold the works of God, What desolations he will make; In vengeance when He wields His rod, The heathen rage, their kingdoms quake; 92 He utters forth His voice;--'tis felt; Like wax the world's foundations melt; The Lord of Hosts is in the field! The God of Jacob is our shield. Again He maketh wars to cease, He breaks the bow, unpoints the spear, And burns the chariot;--joy and peace In all His glorious march appear: Silence, O Earth! Thy Maker own; Ye gentiles, He is God alone; The Lord of Hosts is in the field, The God of Jacob is our shield. Topics: War and peace Scripture: Psalm 46 Languages: English

Come, from your dwellings, girls and boys

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #339 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Come, from your dwellings, girls and boys, Come in your neat though plain array; From work and pastime, tools and toys, Come to the children's holy day. Come from the valley and the hills, Round Wadsley Church, by Wharncliffe woods: Come from the forges, tilts, and mills On Rivelin, Dun, and Loxley floods. We gladly answer, while we throng Through fields and lanes--We come, we come, To sing the children's sweetest song,-- Stones might cry out if we were dumb. Hosanna to our Saviour King, Who came from heaven for us to die; Hosanna let the moorlands ring, Hosanna all their rocks reply. At church, in school, this day, good Lord! With reverence and with godly fear, Teach us to hearken to Thy word, And then to practise what we hear. 361 Our weakness help, our sins forgive, Confirm our faith, our love increase; That we may serve Thee while we live And when we die, depart in Peace.

Come in, thou blessed of the Lord

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #150 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord, Stranger nor foe art thou; We welcome thee with warm accord, Our Friend, our Brother now. The hand of fellowship, the heart Of love, we offer thee; Leaving the world, thou dost but part From lies and vanity. 154 The cup of blessing which we bless, The heavenly bread we break, (Our Saviour's blood and righteousness,) Freely with us partake. In weal or woe, in joy or care, Thy portion shall be ours; Christians their mutual burthen share, They lend their mutual powers. Come with us, we will do thee good, As God to us hath done, Stand but in Him, as those have stood, Whose faith the victory won. And when by turns we pass away, As star by star grows dim, May each, translated into day, Be lost and found in Him. Topics: Fellowship Church, reception into Languages: English

Come, let us go to heaven

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #119 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Come, let us go to heaven;--the way, Like darkness, opens into day, When from the turning-point of night, Breaks the first beam of morning light. Come let us go to heaven;--our guide Is Christ who lived, is Christ who died, And rose again; His staff and rod, Through life and death, will lead to God. Come, let us go to heaven;--forsake Sin, earth, and hell, and gladly take His easy yoke, His pleasant load, And brave the dangers of the road. 121 Come, let us go to heaven;--and press On through the howling wilderness; Yet fear not, little flock, though foes Without, within, your course oppose. Come, let us go to heaven,--no power, Not Satan roaring to devour, Nor all his hosts, can harm, for ye, Through Christ, shall more than conquerors be. Come, let us go to heaven;--and meet Once and for ever, round His feet; Yea, in Christ's kingdom, as His own, Sit down with Him upon His throne. Can these things be?--they are, are sure To all who to the end endure; While unbelief cries, "can they be?" Come, let us go to heaven and see. Topics: Heaven invitation to go to Languages: English

Come let us sing the song of songs

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #89 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Come let us sing the song of songs, The song which saints in glory sing; The homage which to Christ belongs, To-day let babes and sucklings bring. Youth in its prime, and failing Age, With hearts and voices swell the strain, To cheer their steps on pilgrimage, "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!" Slain to redeem us by His blood, To cleanse from every sinful stain, And make us kings and priests to God, "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!" To Him who suffer'd on the tree, Our souls at His soul's price to gain, 93 Blessing, and praise, and glory be: "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!" To Him, enthroned by filial right, All power in heaven and earth pertain, Honour, and majesty, and might: "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!" Come, Holy Spirit, from on high, Our faith, our hope, our love sustain, Living to sing, and dying cry, "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!" Yea, in eternity of bliss, If call'd through grace with Him to reign, Our song--our song of songs, be this, "Worthy the Lamb, for He was slain!"

Come on, companions of our way

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #153 (1854) Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: Come on, companions of our way, Who travel to eternal day Through this poor world of night; Give to the Lord, in noble songs, The praise that to His name belongs, As children of the light. Call'd out of darkness, by His voice, Be that clear shining path our choice, Which Christ our captain trod! Whether with flowers and fragrance crown'd, Or thorns and thistle interwound, It leads the soul to God. Though pilgrims in a vale of woes, Thick-strown with snares, and throng'd with foes; Since Jesus journey'd through, 157 Plant but your steps where his have prest The ground once curst,--that ground now blest Is heaven's highway for you. To heaven, to heaven then march we on, Go where our conquering Lord hath gone! Thus where He is, shall we In joy behold Him face to face, And, changed by glorifying grace, Resemble Him we see.

Come see the place where Jesus lay

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #127 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Come see the place where Jesus lay, For He hath left his gloomy bed; What angel roll'd the stone away? What spirit brought Him from the dead? By His omnipotence He rose, By His own Spirit lived again, To crush for ever all His foes, To raise for ever ruin'd men. Those who His image here partake, Though worms in dust their flesh consume, Shall sleep in Jesus, and awake To life eternal from the tomb. What shall restore a world from death, Where Satan holds his murderous reign? Spirit of Jesus! With Thy breath Shake the dry bones, revive the slain. Dead while they live are Adam's race, By nature, since their Father's fall; But, lo! the messengers of grace Proclaim the gospel-hope to all. 130 Hear it ye dead, of every clime, Before the second death begins; Come forth to this new life in time, This resurrection from your sins.
