O Zion, When Thy Savior Came
Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5552 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Zion, when thy Savior came
In grace and love to thee,
No beauty in thy royal Lord
Thy faithless eye could see.
2. Yet, onward in His path of grace,
The holy sufferer went,
To feel, at last, that love on thee
Had all in vain been spent.
3. Yet not in vain; o’er Israel’s land
The glory yet will shine;
And He, thy once rejected King,
Messiah, shall be thine.
4. When thou, beneath the peaceful reign
Of Jesus and His bride,
Shalt sound His grace and glory forth
To all the earth beside.
5. The nations to thy glorious light,
O Zion! yet shall throng;
And all the listening islands wait
To catch the joyful song.
6. The name of Jesus yet shall ring
Through earth and Heaven above,
And all His ransomed people know
The Sabbath of His love. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
O Zion, When Thy Savior Came
Pray That Jerusalem May Have
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5653 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Pray that Jerusalem may have
Peace and felicity:
Let them that love thee and thy peace
Have still prosperity.
2. Therefore I wish that peace may still
Within thy walls remain,
And ever may thy palaces
Prosperity retain.
3. Now, for my friends and brethren’s sake,
Peace be in thee, I’ll say;
And for the house of God our Lord
I’ll seek thy good alway. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
Pray That Jerusalem May Have
Vain Are the Hopes That Rebels Place
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7052 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Vain are the hopes that rebels place
Upon their birth and blood,
Descended from a pious race;
Their fathers now with God.
2. He from the caves of earth and hell
Can take the hardest stones
And fill the house of Abra’m well
With new-created sons.
3. Such wondrous power doth He possess
Who formed our mortal frame,
Who called the world from emptiness,
The world obeyed and came. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
Vain Are the Hopes That Rebels Place
The Many Are Not Always Right
Author: Julius Brigg Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8475 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The many are not always right,
The few not always wrong;
Weak oft are those who boast their might,
But truth is always strong.
2 O, let me have a holy name,
E’en though alone I be!
Vain is the charm of earthly fame,
And sin’s short victory.
3 I’d rather with Elijah stand,
Alone on Carmel’s crest,
Than own allegiance to the band
Whose shame was there confessed.
4 I’d rather have a Daniel’s crown
Of fearless fortitude,
Than basely lay my manhood down
With craven multitude.
5 I’d rather be the one true heart,
Strong in a purpose high,
Than cowardly from Christ depart,
With recreant hosts to die.
6 Whate’er befall, to me a place
Be with the victors giv’n,
Where faithful ones behold His face,
Amidst the bliss of Heav’n! Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
The Many Are Not Always Right
When Jesus, By The Virgin Brought
Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9226 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus, by the Virgin brought,
So runs the law of Heav’n,
Was offered holy to the Lord,
And at the altar given;
2 Simeon the Just and the Devout,
Who, frequent in the fane,
Had for the Savior waited long,
But waited still in vain,
3 Came, Heav’n directed, at the hour
When Mary held her Son;
He stretchèd forth his agèd arms,
While tears of gladness run:
4 With holy joy upon his face
The good old father smiled,
While fondly in his withered arms
He clasped the promised Child.
5 And then he lifted up to Heav’n
An earnest asking eye;
"My joy is full, my hour is come,
Lord, let Thy servant die!
6 "At last my arms embrace my Lord,
Now let their vigor cease;
At last my eyes my Savior see,
Now let them close in peace!
7 "The star and glory of the land
Hath now begun to shine;
The morning that shall gild the globe
Breaks on these eyes of mine!" Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
When Jesus, By The Virgin Brought
This Present Evil World
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9243 First Line: The stream was deeper than I thought Lyrics: 1 The stream was deeper than I thought,
When first I ventured near;
I stood upon its sloping edge
Without a rising fear.
2 It woke in ripples at my feet,
As breezes quick swept by,
And caught the sunlight on its face,
Like blossoms from the sky.
3 It sang its quiet May-day song
To its old summer tune;
And weeping willow boughs above
Shook to the glowing noon.
4 It seemed to stop, then eddied on;
It smiled up to the day;
It deepened, then spread out its waves,
And stole in light away.
5 O streams of earthly love and joy,
On whose green banks we dwell,
Ye gleam in beauty to the eye,
And promise fair and well!
6 Ye charm the sunbeams from the air,
The fragrance from the flowers,
The blossoms from the budding tree,
The wealth of summer hours.
7 Ye bid us come and take them all
From your enchanted blue;
Ye tell us but to stoop and taste
The joy, and scent, and hue.
8 Ye lure us, and we venture in,
Cheated by sun and smiles;
Ye tempt us, and we brave your depths,
Won by your winning wiles.
9 Too deep and strong for us! We glide
Down your deceiving wave;
Like men by siren song beguiled
On to a siren grave.
10 O world, with all thy smiles and loves,
With all thy song and wine,
What mockery of human hearts,
What treachery is thine!
11 Thou woundest, but thou cannot heal,
Thy words are warbled lies;
Thy hand contains the poison cup,
And he who drinks it dies.
12 O world, there’s fever in thy touch,
And frenzy in thine eye;
To lose and shun thee is to live,
To win thee is to die! Languages: English Tune Title: YORK

This World Is All Enchanted Ground
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9817 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 This world is all enchanted ground,
O whither shall I fly?
The vengeful flames are kindling round,
And if I stop, I die.
2 When some kind hand has brought me forth,
How lingering is my pace!
Lord, either drive me by Thy wrath,
Or draw me by Thy grace.
3 O let me not a moment waste,
On this destructive plain;
Hence let me flee with greater haste,
Till I the Zoar gain. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
This World Is All Enchanted Ground
The Savior, What A Noble Flame
Author: William Cowper Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11921 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Savior, what a noble flame
Was kindled in His breast:
When hasting to Jerusalem
He marched before the rest!
2 Good-will to men and zeal to God,
His every thought engross;
He longs to be baptized with blood,
He pants to reach the cross.
3 With all His sufferings full in view,
And woes, to us, unknown,
Forth to the task His Spirit flew,
’Twas love that urged Him on.
4 Lord, we return Thee what we can!
Our hearts shall sound abroad
Salvation, to the dying Man,
And to the rising God!
5 And while Thy bleeding glories here
Engage our wondering eyes;
We learn our lighter cross to bear,
And hasten to the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
The Savior, What A Noble Flame
"Deceivers" As The World May Deem
Author: John S. B. Monsell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14648 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 "Deceivers" as the world may deem,
"Yet true" without disguise;
"Unknown," on earth of poor esteem,
Yet "well known in the skies."
2 We die in daily scenes of strife,
Beneath the cross and rod;
Yet living still the life of life,
Here hid with Christ in God.
3 "Chastened," yet chastened by the Lord,
Not wholly giv’n to death;
"Not killed," since living on His word,
And breathing with His breath.
4 As sorrowing o’er secret sin,
O’er doubts, and fears; yet still
Rejoicing ever, since within
God’s joy our hearts does fill.
5 "Poor" in the riches of this earth,
Yet in those treasures, which
Are ours by right of a new birth,
As "making many rich."
6 As ’mid a false and faithless race,
A band both weak and small;
"As having nothing," yet thro’ grace
Inheritors of all!
7 E’en such are Christians! pain and loss
Here often weigh them down;
They’re known on earth oft by their cross,
In Heav’n but by their crown.
8 Yet not the cross alone is theirs,
Nor wait they to be blest;
For even here, ’mid griefs and cares,
They "enter into rest."
9 And thus, by each salvation spring
Found in life’s desert plain,
For us "to live is Christ," they sing,
For us "to die is gain."
10 Such make me, Lord! In mercy make,
That thus my gain may be,
To "sleep in Jesus," and awake
Well "satisfied with Thee!" Languages: English Tune Title: YORK
"Deceivers" As The World May Deem
Behold, That Great And Awful Day
Author: Unknown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15452 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold that great and awful day Lyrics: 1 Behold that great and awful day
Of parting soon will come,
When sinners must be hurled away;
And Christians gathered home!
2 They one with Dives for water cry,
And gnaw their tongues in pain,
They gnash their teeth and crisp and fry,
And wring their hands in vain.
3 Now hail! all hail! ye frightful ghosts,
With whom I once did dwell,
And spent my days in frantic mirth,
And danced my soul to hell!
4 You me about the floor did drag,
And caused my soul to sin;
And devils now your mouth shall gag,
And force the fuel in.
5 Perhaps the parent sees the child
Sink down to endless flames,
With shrieks, and howls, and bitter cries,
Never to rise again.
6 O father! see my blazing hands,
And mother! see your child!
Against you now, a witness stands,
Amidst the flames confined!
7 The child, perhaps, the parents view,
Go headlong down to hell:
Gone with the rest of Satan’s crew,
And bid the child farewell!
8 The husband sees his piteous wife,
With whom he once did dwell,
Depart with groans and bitter cries,
My husband! fare you well!
9 But O, perhaps, the wife may see,
The man she once did love,
Sink down to endless misery,
While she is crowned above!
10 Then shall the saints through grace combined,
Drink in eternal love:
In Jesus’ image there to shine,
And reign with Him above.
11 O how it lifts my soul to think,
Of meeting round the throne,
Eternal joys there for to drink,
Where sorrows never come.
