We give Thee but Thine own

Appears in 502 hymnals Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Since Jesus is my Friend, And I to Him belong, It matters not what foes intend, However fierce and strong. 2 I rest upon the ground Of Jesus and His Blood, For 'tis through Him that I have found The true eternal Good. 3 His Spirit in me dwells, O'er all my mind He reigns, All care and sadness He dispels, And soothes away all pains. 4 He whispers in my breast Sweet words of holy cheer, How he who seeks in God his rest Shall ever find Him near; 5 How God hath built above A city fair and new, Where eye and heart shall see and prove What faith has counted true. 6 My heart for gladness springs, It cannot more be sad; For very joy it laughs and sings, Sees naught but sunshine glad. 7 The sun that lights mine eyes Is Christ the Lord I love; I sing for joy of that which lies Stored up for me above. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Faith Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM

The Advent of our God

Author: John Chandler, 1806 - 76; Charles Coffin, 1676-1749 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The advent of our God Our prayers must now employ, And we must meet him on his road With hymns of holy joy. 2 The everlasting Son Incarnate deigns to be; Himself a servant's form puts on To set his people free. 3 Daughter of Sion, rise To meet thy lowly King, Nor let thy faithless heart despise The peace he comes to bring. A-men. 4 As judge, on clouds of light, He soon will come again, And all his scattered saints unite With him in heaven to reign. 5 Before the dawning day Let sin's dark deeds be gone; The old man all be put away, The new man all put on. 6 All glory to the Son, Who comes to set us free, With Father, Spirit, ever One, Through all eternity. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Advent Used With Tune: DONCASTER

Maker and Sov'reign Lord

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Maker and sov’reign Lord Of Heav’n, and earth, and seas, Thy providence confirms Thy Word, And answers Thy decrees. 2. The things so long foretold By David are fulfilled, When Jews and Gentiles join’d to slay Jesus, Thine holy Child. 3. Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews, with one accord, Bend all their counsels to destroy Th’Anointed of the Lord? 4. Rulers and kings agree To form a vain design; Against the Lord their powers unite Against His Christ they join. 5. The Lord derides their rage, And will support His throne; He that hath raised Him from the dead Hath owned Him for His Son. 6. Now He’s ascended high, And asks to rule the earth; The merit of His blood He pleads, And pleads His heav’nly birth. 7. He asks, and God bestows A large inheritance; Far as the world’s remotest ends His kingdom shall advance. 8. The nations that rebel Must feel His iron rod; He’ll vindicate those honors well Which He received from God. 9. Be wise, ye rulers, now, And worship at His throne; With trembling joy, ye people, bow To God’s exalted Son. 10. If once His wrath arise, Ye perish on the place; Then blessèd is the soul that flies For refuge to His grace. Used With Tune: DONCASTER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
