His voice as the sound of th dulcimer sweet

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #322 (1854) Meter: 11.8 First Line: His voice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet Lyrics: 1. His voice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet, Is heard through the shadows of death; The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with his breath. His lips as the fountain of righteousness flow, That waters the garden of grace; From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know, And bask in the smiles of his face. 2. O! thou in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom, in affliction, I call; My comfort by day, and my song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all— Where dost thou at noontide resort with thy sheep, To feed on the pastures of love? Say why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in the wilderness rove? 3. O! why should I wander an alien from thee, And cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. Ye daughters of Zion, declare, have you seen The Star that on Israel shone? Say if in your tents my beloved has been, And where, with his flock, he is gone? 4. "What is thy Beloved, thou dignified fair? What excellent beauties has he? His charms and perfections be pleased to declare, That we may embrace him with thee." This is my Beloved, his form is divine; His vestments shed odor around; The locks on his head are as grapes on the vine, When autumn with plenty is crowned. 5. The roses of Sharon, the lilies that grow In the vales, on the banks of the streams, On his cheeks in the beauty of excellence blow, And his eyes are as quivers of beams. His voice as the sound of the dulcimer, sweet, Is heard through the shadows of death; The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with his breath.

"The righteous shall hold on his way"

Author: H. Fowler Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #350 (1844) Meter: 11.8 First Line: Ye pilgrims of Zion, and chosen of God Lyrics: 1 Ye pilgrims of Zion, and chosen of God, Whose spirits are filled with dismay, Since ye have eternal redemption through blood, Ye cannot but hold on your way. 2 As Jesus, in covenant love, did engage A fulness of grace to display, The powers of darkness in malice may rage, The righteous shall hold on his way. 3 This truth, like its Author, eternal shall stand, Though all things in nature decay, Upheld by Jehovah’s omnipotent hand, The righteous shall hold on his way. 4 They may on the main of temptation be tossed; Their sorrows may swell as the sea; But none of the ransomed shall ever be lost; The righteous shall hold on his way. 5 Surrounded with sorrows, temptations, and cares, This truth with delight we survey, And sing, as we pass through this valley of tears, The righteous shall hold on his way.

How blest is the man who in Jesus believes

Author: W. Gadsby Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #591 (1844) Meter: 11.8 Lyrics: 1 How blest is the man who in Jesus believes And on him can cast all his cares; A righteousness full and complete he receives, That hides all his guilt, sin, and fears. 2 [No creature on earth is more happy than he, Nor Gabriel himself is more blest; He lives on the bounty of grace, rich and free – A glorious, immortal repast.] 3 Whate’er be his lot, while on earth he resides, His glory can never depart; He’s one in the Lord, and in him he abides, United together in heart. 4 The time is now fixèd, and soon it will come, When Christ will his messenger send, To fetch him from Meshech and carry him home; And then all his sorrows will end.
