Holy Spirit, End Our Sadness

Toplady, 1740-1778 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 195 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 45:8 Lyrics: 1 Holy Spirit, end our sadness, pierce the clouds of sinful night; come, O Source of sweetest gladness, breathe your life and spread your light! Hear, O hear our supplication, loving Spirit, God of peace! Rest upon this congregation, great distributor of grace! 2 From the height which knows no measure as a gracious show'r descend, bringing down the richest treasure we can wish, or God can send! Help us flee whate'er would harm us, both from error and from sin. Guard us, lest the world alarm us; holy fountain, cleanse within. 3 Be our friend on each occasion, God, omnipotent to save; when we die, be our salvation, when we're buried, be our grave. Seat us with your saints in glory, when from out the grave we rise; then forever we'll adore you, round your throne above the skies. Topics: Work of the Spirit Used With Tune: GENEVA

Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 45:2 Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass, Ye bars of iron, yield, And let the King of Glory pass; The cross is in the field: That banner, brighter than the star That leads the train of night, Shines on their march, and guides from far His servants to the fight. 2 A holy war those servants wage; Mysteriously at strife, The pow'rs of heav'n and hell engage For more than death of life. Ye armies of the living God, His sacramental host, Where hallowed footsteps never trod Take your appointed post: 3 Though few and small and weak your bands, Strong in your Captain's strength Go to the conquest of all lands; All must be his at length. Those spoils at his victorious feet You shall rejoice to lay, And lay yourselves, as trophies meet, In his great judgment-day. 4 O fear not, faint nor, halt not now; In Jesus' Name be strong; To him shall all the nations bow, And sing with you this song: "Uplifted are the gates of brass, The bars of iron yield; Behold the King of Glory pass; The cross has won the field." Amen. Topics: Christian warfare; The Church Missions; Gospel Triumph of; Missions Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS NEW
