The Saints Should Never Be Dismayed
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The saints should never be dismayed,
Nor sink in hopeless fear;
For when they least expect His aid,
The Savior will appear.
2. This Abr’am found: he raised the knife;
God saw, and said, Forbear!
Yon ram shall yield his meaner life;
Behold the victim there.
3. Once David seemed Saul’s certain prey;
But hark! the foe’s at hand;
Saul turns his arms another way,
To save th’invaded land.
4. When Jonah sunk beneath the wave,
He thought to rise no more;
But God prepared a fish to save,
And bear him to the shore.
5. Blest proofs of power and grace divine,
That meet us in His Word!
May every deep felt care of mine
Be trusted with the Lord.
6. Wait for His seasonable aid,
And though it tarry, wait:
The promise may be long delayed,
But cannot come too late. Used With Tune: BEATI IMMACULATI Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 6
The Saints Should Never Be Dismayed
Now Plead My Cause, Almighty God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now plead my cause, almighty God,
With all the sons of strife;
And fight against the men of blood,
Who fight against my life.
2. Draw out Thy spear and stop their way,
Lift Thine avenging rod;
But to my soul in mercy say,
I am thy Savior God!
3. They plant their snares to catch my feet,
And nets of mischief spread;
Plunge the destroyers in the pit
That their own hands have made.
4. Let fogs and darkness hide their way,
And slippery be their ground;
Thy wrath shall make their lives a prey,
And all their rage confound.
5. They fly like chaff before the wind,
Before Thine angry breath;
The angel of the Lord behind
Pursues them down to death.
6. They love the road that leads to hell;
Then let the rebels die,
Whose malice is implacable
Against the Lord on high.
7. But if Thou hast a chosen few
Amongst that impious race,
Divide them from the bloody crew,
By Thy surprising grace.
8. Then I will raise my tuneful voice,
To make Thy wonders known;
In their salvation I’ll rejoice,
And bless Thee for my own. Used With Tune: BEATI IMMACULATI Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Jesus Has Lived
Author: William R. Alger Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals First Line: Jesus has lived! and we would bring Lyrics: 1 Jesus has lived! and we would bring
The world’s glad thanks today;
And at His feet while anthems ring,
The grateful offering lay.
2 Jesus has lived! and His pure life
So perfect and sublime,
Shall conquer man’s dark sin and strife
Through every rank and clime.
3 Jesus has died! and o’er the stars
Gone home to God on high:
He burst the grave’s cold prison bars,
And said, "Man cannot die."
4 Jesus yet lives! and from the sky
Where victory He wrote,
Before the good man’s closing eye,
Visions of glory float.
5 Jesus yet lives! and oh! may we,
While in this valley dim,
So feel our immortality,
That we may be like Him. Used With Tune: BEAIT IMMACULATI Text Sources: Hymns for the Church of Christ by Frederic H. Hedge and Frederic D. Huntington (Boston: Crosby Nichos & Company, 1853)
