O Righteous, in the Lord Rejoice

Meter: 8.6.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O righteous, in the Lord rejoice; how pleasant that with joyful voice God's saints his name should praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, your gift of sweetest music bring, to him a new song raise. 2 The Lord God from his throne on high looks down with clear and searching eye on all that dwell below. And he that fashioned heart and mind looks ever down on humankind the works of all to know. 3 His eye is on all those who fear; to those who hope, the Lord is near according to his word. Death cannot touch those in his hand, nor trouble conquer in the land; we wait upon the Lord.

Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ye righteous, in the Lord rejoice; It well becomes the good man's voice To sing Jehovah's praise. With harp and hymn of gladness sing, Your gift of sweetest music bring, To him a new song raise. 2 For upright is Jehovah's word; And all the doings of the Lord In faithfulness are wrought. In justice and in judgment right The Lord doth ever take delight; With goodness earth is fraught. 3 Jehovah's word the heav'ns hath made, And all the host of them arrayed His breath has caused to be. He rolls the waters heap on heap; He stores away the mighty deep In garners of the sea. 4 Let all the earth Jehovah fear, Let all that dwell both far and near In awe before him stand; For, lo, he spake and it was done, And all, his sovereign pow'r begun, Stood fast at his command. 5 He makes the nations' counsels vain, The plans the peoples would maintain Are thwarted by his hand. Jehovah's counsel stands secure, His purposes of heart endure, For evermore they stand. 6 O truly is the nation blessed Whose God, before the world confessed, Jehovah is alone; And blessed the people is whom he Has made his heritage to be, And chosen for his own.

Come, Let Us Sing With Joyful Mirth

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, let us sing with joyful mirth The mystery of Immanuel’s birth, Who, virgin born, is here; The middle wall no longer stands, No flaming sword in cherub’s hands Inspires the soul with fear. 2 See, clear the pathway open lies That upward leads to paradise, Where stands the tree of life; And freely may I enter in, Whence I was driven by mortal sin, And worsted in the strife. 3 For He, the Father’s only Son, A glorious work hath now begun, Descending from above In servant’s form, though yet the Son, Unchanging while the ages run, To win us by His love. 4 Come, now, let hearts united be To laud His praises joyfully, The God-Man born today. And let Thy mercy reach us now, For pitiful and kind art Thou, O Virgin Born, we pray. Used With Tune: FRANCES Text Sources: Hymns of the Early Church by John Brownlie (London: Morgan & Scott, 1913

Jesu, Thy Weak Disciples See

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Jesu, Thy weak disciples see, Entreated in the world like Thee, Partakers of Thy shame; Because we will not let Thee go, Sweet fellowship with Thee to know, And suffer for Thy name. 2 Thy marks we in our body bear, Our master’s cross we daily share, And bless the sacred sign, Here buffeted for doing well, We thankfully accept the seal, And feel that we are Thine. 3 Our back we to the smiters give, Evil for good with joy receive, Nor meanly strive to hide From spitting, and from shame our face, But glory in the full disgrace Of Jesus crucified. 4 For Thy dear sake we suffer wrong, And persecuted all day long, We thus the crown ensure, As sheep appointed to be slain, Our portion of contempt and pain We to the end endure. 5 We in Thy strength can all things do, Thro’ Thee can all things suffer too, When Thou the power shalt give, We then by faith shall see Thee stand The Great High Priest at God’s right hand, Our spirits to receive. 6 Wherefore to Thee our souls we trust, Our Savior to the uttermost To Thee we boldly come, With joy upon our heads return, High on the wings of angels borne To our eternal home.

Heav’n and earth, and seas, and skies In one melodious concert rise To swell th’inspiring theme! 2 Ye fields of light, celestial plains, Where gay transporting beauty reigns, Ye scenes divinely fair! Your maker’s wondrous power proclaim, Tell how He formed your shining frame, And breathed the fluid air. 3 Ye angels, catch the thrilling sound! While all th’adoring throngs around His wondrous mercy sing; Let every listening saint above, Wake all the tuneful soul of love, And touch the sweetest string. 4 Join, ye loud spheres, the vocal choir! Thou dazzling orb of liquid fire The mighty chorus aid; Soon as grey evening gilds the plain, Thou moon, protract the melting strain, And praise Him in the shade. 5 Thou, Heav’n of heav’ns, His vast abode, Ye clouds, proclaim your forming God! Ye thunders, speak His power! Lo! on the lightning’s gleamy wing In triumph walks th’eternal King, Th’astonished worlds adore. 6 Whate’er the gazing eye can find, The warms or soothes the musing mind, United praise bestow; Ye dragons, sound His dreadful name To Heav’n aloud, and roar acclaim, Ye swelling deeps, below! 7 Let every element rejoice: Ye tempests, raise your mighty voice Praise Him who bid you roll! His praise in softer notes declare Each whispering breeze of yielding air, And breathe it to the soul. 8 To Him, ye graceful cedars, bow! Ye towering mountains, bending low, Your great creator own! Tell, when affrighted nature shook, How Sinai kindled at His look, And trembled at His frown. 9 Ye flocks that haunt the humble vale, Ye insects fluttering on the gale, In mutual concourse rise! Crop the gay rose’s vermeil bloom, And waft its spoils, a sweet perfume, In incense to the skies. 10 Wake, all ye mounting throngs, and sing! Ye plumy warblers of the spring, Harmonious anthems raise, To Him who shaped your finer mold, Who tipped your glittering wings with gold, And tuned your voice to praise. 11 Let man, by nobler passions swayed, The feeling heart, the judging head, In heav’nly praise employ; Spread His tremendous name around, Till Heav’n’s broad arch ring back the sound, The general burst of joy. 12 Ye, whom the charms of grandeur please, Nursed on the silky lap of ease, Fall prostrate at His throne! Ye princes, rulers, all adore! Praise Him, ye kings! who makes your power An image of His own. 13 Ye fair, by nature formed to move, O praise th’eternal source of love With youth’s enlivening fire! Let age take up the tuneful lay, Sigh His blest name—then soar away, And ask an angel’s lyre. Used With Tune: FRANCES

Not Of Terrestial Mortal Themes

Author: Samuel Medley, 1738-1799 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Not of terrestrial mortal themes Lyrics: 1 Not of terrestrial mortal themes Not of the world’s delusive dreams My soul attempts to sing; But of that theme divinely true, Ever delightful, ever new— My Jesus and my king. 2 Oh could I speak the matchless worth, Oh could I sound the glories forth, Which in my Savior shine! I’d soar, and touch the heavenly strings And vie with Gabriel while he sings In notes almost divine. 3 Upon the theme I’d ever dwell, And in transporting raptures tell What I in Jesus see; I’d sing with more than mortal voice, And lose my life amidst the joys Of what He is to me. 4 Prostrate before His throne I’d fall, And bless His holy name for all The riches of His grace. I’d sing how glorious power subdued, I’d sing how sovereign love renewed The vilest of the race. 5 I’d sing the precious blood He spilt, My ransom from the dreadful guilt Of sin, and wrath divine; I’d sing His glorious righteousness, In which all-perfect, heavenly dress My soul shall ever shine. 6 I’d sing the characters He bears, And all the forms of love He wears, Exalted on His throne; In loftiest songs of sweetest praise, I would to everlasting days Make all His glories known. 7 But ah! I’m still in clay confined, And mortal passions clog my mind, And downward drag me still; O when shall I attain the skies, And to immortal glories rise On Zion’s heavenly hill? 8 Well, the delightful day will come, When He, dear Lord! will bring me home, And I shall see His face; Then with my Savior, brother, friend, A blest eternity I’ll spend, Triumphant in His grace.

Jesus, from age to age the same, We find, confiding in Thy name, The strength of Israel nigh. 2 Of wars and rumored wars we hear, But Thy command forbids our fear, And unbelieving haste; In Thee our quiet souls we hide And safe beneath Thy wings abide, Till every storm is past. 3 Our only care Thy grace to gain And steadfast in the faith remain Which sweetly works by love, To prove Thine acceptable will And all Thy dear commands fulfill As angels do above. 4 Us, whom Thy mind and Spirit arm, Nor sword nor pestilence can harm, Nor earth or hell annoy; The plagues that on the wicked seize Can never interrupt our peace, Or rob us of our joy. 5 We thus to meet our God prepare, By constant watchfulness and prayer, By toils of love renewed, Assured that all events shall join Accomplishing Thy blest design In our eternal good. 6 O Son of Man, O God most high We on Thy faithful word rely For persevering grace, Till fully saved and counted meet We stand, in holiness complete, Before Thy glorious face.

Him, God of God, and Light of Light, In a mean earthly shrine: Jehovah’s glory dwells with men, His person in our flesh is seen, The character divine! 3 Not with these eyes of flesh and blood, Yet lo, we still behold the God, Replete with truth and grace; The truth of holiness we see, The grace of full felicity, In our Redeemer’s face. 4 Transformed by the ecstatic sight, Our souls o’erflow with pure delight, And every moment own; The Lord our whole protection is, The Lord is our immortal bliss, And Christ and Heaven are one.

Now Sinner, Now What Is Thy Hope?

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Now, sinner, now what is thy hope? Lyrics: 1 Now, sinner, now what is thy hope? Canst thou with confidence look up And see the angel nigh? Is death a messenger of peace? And dost thou long for thy release? And art thou fit to die? 2 Say, if prepared for death thou art, What means that faltering of thy heart, That inly stifled groan? Why shrinks thy soul with guilty fear, And loudly warns of judgment near, Starts from a God unknown? 3 Whither, ah! whither must thou go? Poor dying wretch, thou dost not know, Doubtful so near thine end; Doubtful with whom thou first shall meet, Who first thy parting soul shall greet, An angel, or a fiend? 4 Where wilt thou ease, or comfort take? Now to thy harmless life look back, From outward vice so free; Bring all thy works, and seeming good To balance with thy guilty load, And let them plead for thee. 5 Alas! they cannot buy thy peace, The rags of thy own righteousness They cannot screen thy shame: Full of all inward sin thou art, Anger, and lust, and pride of heart; And Legion is thy name. 6 Now let thy best endeavors plead, Now lean upon that feeble reed, Thou who hast lived so well! Thy dying weight it cannot bear But breaks, and leaves thee to despair, And lets thee sink to hell. 7 Now wilt thou mock the sons of God, Who felt the Savior’s sprinkled blood, And owned their sins forgiv’n? Tell them, their peace they cannot feel, The glorious hope, the Spirit’s seal, The antepast of Heav’n. 8 Hast thou received the Holy Ghost? Poor Christless soul, undone and lost, Already damned thou art; Now tell thy Lord, "It cannot be," He did not buy the grace for thee To dwell within thy heart. 9 His inspiration now blaspheme, And call it all a madman’s dream, That God in man should dwell; Th’enthusiastic scheme explode, That souls should here be filled with God; Go laugh at saints in hell! 10 Ah! no; thy laughter ceases there, Doomed with apostate fiends to share The unbeliever’s hire; There thou shalt die the second death, And gnaw thy tongue, and gnash thy teeth, And welter in that fire. 11 Alas! thy gracious day is past: The wrath is come: what hope at last The sentence to repeal? No longer thy damnation sleeps, The soul from off thy quivering lips Is staring into hell. 12 But if thou nothing hast to plead, Behold in this thy greatest need, An advocate is nigh: Ask Him to undertake thy cause, The Man that hung upon the cross, And deigned for thee to die. 13 See Him between the dying thieves— His grace the parting soul relieves, E’en at its latest hour; Ask, and His grace shall reach to thee, “Jesus, my king, remember me, Display Thy mercy’s power. 14 Thee for my Lord and God I own, With pity see me from Thy throne, And though my body dies, My soul, if Thou Thy Spirit give, My happy soul today shall live, With Thee in paradise.

They speak their monarch nigh. 2 Why doth the King approach our land? Comes He with terror in His hand, The merits of our crimes? Shepherds be glad, He comes with peace, Not wrath but universal grace, To bless earth’s distant climes. 3 See Heaven’s great heir, a virgin’s son, Behold a manger for His throne, Though spotless He must die; Your is the guilt, but His the pain, His is the sorrow, yours the gain, Then let His praise be high.

Behold, The Awful Day Comes On

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold, the awful day comes on, When Jesus on His righteous throne Shall in the clouds appear: With solemn pomp shall bow the sky, And, in the twinkling of an eye, Arraign us at His bar. 2 But first th’archangel’s trump shall blow, Our scattered dust its voice shall know, And quicken at the sound: The sea shall then give up her dead: And nations, starting from their bed, Shall cleave the opening ground. 3 Who shall withstand His righteous ire, When Jesus sets the clouds on fire, And makes the earth retreat? In vain shall sinners then repent. When each expiring element, Shall melt with fervent heat. 4 The dead in Christ shall first awake, The faithful few, who, for His sake, On earth were justified: Guarded by a seraphic band, Aloft they mount to His right hand, In whom they lived and died. 5 See next the guilty crowd arise. Beholding, with reluctant eyes, The glories of the Lamb; While taunting fiends impatient wait To hurl them from the judgment seat, To hell’s eternal flame. 6 Hark, as they mount, by devils borne, To meet their judge (on earth their scorn) Despairingly they cry, "Fall on us, rocks, with all your load, And screen us from the wrath of God, And hide us from His eye." 7 In vain on rocks and hills ye call, The rocks shall from their bases fall And know their place no more: The hills shall melt when God comes down, And mountains crumble at His frown, And groan beneath His power. 8 What thought can paint their black despair, Who this tremendous sentence hear, Irrevocably giv’n, "Depart, ye cursed, into hell, With everlasting burnings dwell, Remote from Me and Heav’n?" 9 But, O Thou Savior of mankind, Display Thy power, and to the blind Effectual light afford: Snatch them from unbelief and sin, And now compel them to come in, And tremble at Thy Word. 10 Methinks I hear Thy mercy plead, The voice of Him that wakes the dead Doth over sinners mourn: “Why do ye still your God forget, And madly hasten to the pit From whence is no return? 11 "Ye reasoners, make a rational choice; Listen, in time, to reason’s voice, Nor dare almighty ire: Turn, lest the hottest wrath ye feel, And find, too late, the flames of hell No metaphoric fire."

In my weak, sinful flesh appear, O God, be manifested here, Peace, righteousness and joy; Thy kingdom, Lord, set up within My faithful heart; and all my sin, The devil’s work, destroy. 6. I long Thy coming to confess, The mystic power of godliness, The life divine to prove: The fullness of Thy life to know, Redeemed from all my sins below, And perfected in love. 7. O Christ, my Hope, make known to me The great, the glorious mystery The hidden life impart; Come, Thou Desire of nations, come, Formed in a spotless virgin’s womb, A pure, believing heart. 8.
