Come to Calvary's holy mountain

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #57 (1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: Come to Calvary's holy mountain, Sinners ruin'd by the fall; Here a pure and healing fountain Flows to you, to me, to all, In a full, perpetual tide, Open'd when our Saviour died. 62 Come in poverty and meanness, Come defiled, without, within; From infection and uncleanness, From the leprosy of sin, Wash your robes and make them white: Ye shall walk with God in light. Come, in sorrow and contrition, Wounded, impotent, and blind; Here the guilty free remission, Here the troubled peace may find; Health this fountain will restore, He that drinks shall thirst no more:-- He that drinks shall live for ever; 'Tis a soul-renewing flood: God is faithful;--God will never Break his covenant in blood, Sign'd when our Redeemer died, Seal'd when he was glorified.

Come to the Morning Prayer

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #79 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: Come to the Morning Prayer, Come let us kneel and pray; Prayer is the Christian pilgrim's staff To walk with God all day. At noon, beneath the Rock Of Ages, rest and pray; Sweet is that shadow from the heat, When the sun smites by day. At eve, shut to the door, Round the home-altar pray, And finding there "the House of God," At "heaven's gate" close the day. When midnight seals our eyes, Let each in spirit say, "I sleep, but my heart waketh, Lord, With Thee to watch and pray." Scripture: Luke 18:1 Languages: English

Come to the throne of Grace

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #114 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Come to the throne of Grace:--it stands At all times, every where; With humbled hearts and holy hands, Let us assemble there. On the whole earth's expanded face, 'Tis best to tarry there, For nearest heaven must be the place, Where God meets man in prayer. In the same moment, at that throne, Were all who breathe the air, In multitude, or each alone, Found offering faithful prayer:-- 116 No thought, no word, no sigh, in vain, Conceived, or utter'd there, Could miss the mark; like genial rain Blessings would fall on prayer. When field and forest, plant and flower The dews of morning share, Blade, bud, leaf, blossom, in one hour, Alike are water'd there. To-day while countless Sabbath bands Are gathering every where, Let us with them lift hearts and hands, And all unite in Prayer. Topics: Communion of Saints; Lord's Day worship Languages: English

Come, ye that fear the Lord

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #38 (1854) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: Come, ye that fear the Lord, And love Him while ye fear; Come, and with heart and hand record Your vow and covenant here. Vow to be His alone Who bought you with a price; Now render back to God His own, By free-will sacrifice. Here to His altar brought, Your covenant renew, To be in word, and deed, and thought, Faithful to Him and true. And true and faithful He To you will ever prove, Though hills were swept into the sea, And mountains should remove. Then be His law our choice, The joy of young and old, As sheep that hear their shepherd's voice, And follow to the fold. 39 So shall His staff and rod Conduct us and defend: God is a covenant-keeping God, And loves unto the end.

Command thy blessing from above

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #99 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Command thy blessing from above, O God! on all assembled here; Behold us with a father's love, While we look up with filial fear. Command Thy blessing, Jesus! Lord! May we Thy true disciples be; Speak to each heart the mighty Word, Say to the weakest, "Follow me." Command Thy blessing in this hour, Spirit of Truth! and fill this place With humbling and with healing power, With killing and with quickening grace. 103 O Thou, our Maker, Saviour, Guide, One true eternal God confest! Whom, thou hast join'd let none divide, None dare to curse whom thou hast blest. With thee and these for ever found, May all the souls who here unite, With harps and songs thy throne surround, Rest in thy love and reign in light. Languages: English

Communion of my Saviour's blood

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #130 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Communion of my Saviour's blood, In Him to have my lot and part, To prove the virtue of that flood Which burst on Calvary from his heart; To feed by faith on Christ, my bread, His body broken on the tree, To live in Him, my living Head, Who died, and, rose again for me; This be my joy and comfort here, This pledge of future glory mine: Jesus, in spirit now appear, And break the bread, and pour the wine. 133 From Thy dear hand, may I receive The tokens of Thy dying love, And, while I feast on earth, believe That I shall feast with thee above. Ah! there, though in the lowest place, Thee at Thy table could I meet, And see Thee, know Thee, face to face, For such a moment death were sweet. What then will their fruition be, Who meet in heaven with blest accord? A moment?--No, eternity! They are for ever with the Lord. Topics: Lord's Day worship Supper Languages: English

Could I command with voice or pen

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #137 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: Could I command with voice or pen The tongues of Angels and of men, A tinkling cymbal, sounding brass My speech and preaching would surpass; Vain were such eloquence to me Without the grace of Charity. Could I the martyr's flame endure, Give all my goods to feed the poor; Had I the faith from Alpine steep To hurl the mountain to the deep, What were such zeal, such power to me Without the grace of Charity? Could I behold with prescient eye Things future as the things gone by; Could all earthly knowledge scan, And mete out heaven with a span, Poor were the chief of gifts to me Without the chiefest--Charity. Charity suffers long, is kind, Charity bears a humble mind, Rejoices not when ills befall, But glories in the weal of all; She hopes, believes, and envies not, Nor vaunts, nor murmurs o'er her lot. The tongues of teachers shall be dumb, Prophets discern not things to come, 141 Knowledge shall vanish out of thought, And miracles no more be wrought, But Charity shall never fail, Her anchor is within the veil.

Creator, Redeemer, and Spirit of Truth

Thy power we behold in the works of Thy hand The heavens Thy glory declare; Thy Providence rules over ocean and land; All creatures that live are Thy care. Thy love beyond thought in the Gospel we trace; The gift of all gifts is Thy Son, Redeeming, restoring, and blessing our race, When fallen, condemn'd, and undone. Thy kindness, long-suffering and mercy to crown, The heirs of salvation to seal, And dwell in Thy people,--the Spirit came down; His influence now let us feel. The Father, the Son, and the Spirit of truth, One God over all evermore, Let manhood and age join with childhood and youth, To honour, praise, love, and adore.

Daughter of Zion, from the dust

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #241 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: Daughter of Zion, from the dust, Exalt thy fallen head; Again in thy Redeemer trust, He calls thee from the dead. Awake, awake, put on thy strength, Thy beautiful array; The day of freedom dawns at length, The Lord's appointed day. Rebuild thy walls, thy bounds enlarge, And send thy heralds forth; Say to the South,--"Give up thy charge, And keep not back, O North!" They come, they come;--thine exiled bands, Where'er they rest or roam, Have heard Thy voice in distant lands, And hasten to their home. Thus, though the universe shall burn, And God his works destroy, With songs the ransom'd shall return, And everlasting joy. Topics: Israel, restoration of Languages: English

Dust and ashes, sin and guilt

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: MSPH #166 (1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Lyrics: Dust and ashes, sin and guilt,-- Christ, for me Thy blood was spilt; Cleanse Thou me from guilt and sin, Make Me pure without, within; Soul and body, at Thy word, Be to saving health restored. Flesh and blood, this mortal frame; Thou wert pleased to wear the same; Though Thy nature was divine, Thou didst condescend to mine; Let me, for Thy mercy's sake, Thy divinity partake. 169 From the ruins of the fall, Me to grace and glory call: Me, O Lord my Righteousness! With Thine image re-impress; Thou didst stoop to earth for me; Raise me up to heaven with Thee. Topics: Christ renewal in image of; Image of Christ Languages: English
