How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,128 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, is laid for your faith in his excellent word! What more can he say than to you he hath said, to you that for refuge to Jesus have fled? 2 "Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed! For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. 3 "When through the deep waters I call thee to go, the rivers of woe shall not thee overflow; for I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless, and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. 4 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, my grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply; the flame shall not hurt thee; I only design thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine. 5 "The soul that to Jesus hath fled for repose, I will not, I will not desert to its foes; that soul, though all hell shall endeavor to shake, I'll never, no, never, no, never forsake."

O Worship the King

Author: Robert Grant Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 1,142 hymnals First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King, all glorious above, And gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise. 2 O tell of His might O sing of His grace, Whose robe is the light whose canopy space! His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form, And dark is His path on the wings of the storm. 3 Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite? It breathes in the air, it shines in the light, It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain. 4 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In Thee do we trust, nor find Thee to fail: Thy mercies how tender, how firm to the end; Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. Amen. Topics: Adoration and Praise God the Father; God Attributes; God Majesty and Power Used With Tune: LYONS

Why Sleep We, My Brethren?

Author: Josiah Hopkins Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 66 hymnals First Line: Why sleep we, my brethren? Come, let us arise Lyrics: 1 Why sleep we, my brethren? Come, let us arise, O, why should we slumber in sight of the prize? Salvation is nearer, our days are far spent, O, let us be active; awake! and repent. 2 O, how can we slumber! The Master is come, And calling on sinners to seek them a home; The Spirit and Bride now in concert unite, The weary they welcome, the careless invite. 3 O, how can we slumber! Our foes are awake; To ruin poor souls every effort they make; T’accomplish their object no means are untried, The careless they comfort, the wakeful misguide. 4 O, how can we slumber! When so much was done, To purchase salvation by Jesus the Son! Now mercy is proffered, and justice displayed, Now God can be honored, and sinners be saved. 5 O, how can we slumber! when death is so near, And sinners are sinking to endless despair; Now prayers may avail, and they gain the high prize, Before they in torment shall lift up their eyes. 6 O, how can ye slumber! Ye sinners, look round, Before the last trumpet your hearts shall confound; O, fly to the Savior, He calls you today; Where mercy is waiting, O make no delay.
