Awake, Ye Saints, Awake

Heaven with hosannas rings, And earth, in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings: Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, Through endless years to live and reign. 4 Great King, gird on Thy sword, Ascend Thy conquering car; While justice, truth, and love Maintain Thy glorious war: This day let sinners own Thy sway, And rebels cast their arms awa Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou given for Me? 2 My Father's house of light, My glory-circled throne, I left, for earthly night, For wand'rings sad and lone; I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? 3 I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell, Of bitt'rest agony, To rescue thee from hell; I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? 4 And I have brought to thee, Down from My home above, Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love; I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? Topics: Discipleship; Stewardship and Service Used With Tune: KENOSIS

Upward I Lift Mine Eyes

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 243 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Upward I lift mine eyes, From God is all my aid; The God that built the skies, And earth and nature made; God is the tower to which I fly; His grace is nigh in every hour. 2 My feet shall never slide And fall in fatal snares, Since God, my guard and guide, Defends me from my fears. Those wakeful eyes that never sleep Shall Israel keep when dangers rise. 3 No burning heats by day, Nor blasts of evening air, Shall take my health away, If God be with me there. Thou art my sun, and Thou my shade, To guard my head by night or noon. 4 Hast Thou not giv’n Thy word To save my soul from death? And I can trust my Lord To keep my mortal breath. I’ll go and come, nor fear to die, Till from on high Thou call me home. Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Indulgent God! How Kind

Author: John Kent Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Indulgent God! how kind Are all Thy ways to me, Whose dark benighted mind Was enmity with Thee; Yet now, subdued by sovereign grace, My spirit longs for Thy embrace! 2 How precious are Thy thoughts, Which o’er my bosom roll! They swell beyond my faults, And captivate my soul; How great their sum, how high they rise, Can ne’er be known beneath the skies. 3 Preserved in Jesus when My feet made haste to hell; And there should I have gone, But Thou dost all things well; Thy love was great, Thy mercy free, Which from the pit delivered me. 4 Before Thy hands had made The sun to rule the day, Or earth’s foundation laid, Or fashioned Adam’s clay, What thoughts of peace and mercy flowed In Thy dear bosom, O my God! 5 O fathomless abyss, Where hidden mysteries lie; The seraph finds his bliss Within the same to pry. Lord, what is man, Thy desperate foe, That Thou should bless and love him so? 6 A monument of grace, A sinner saved by blood; The streams of love I trace Up to the fountain, God; And in His sacred bosom see Eternal thoughts of love to me.
