The Dying Robber Raised His Aching Brow

Author: Thomas Lacey Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1286 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1. The dying robber raised his aching brow To claim the dying Lord for company; And heard, in answer to his trembling bow, The promise of the King: Thou—even thou— Today shalt be in Paradise with me. 2. We, too, the measure of our guilt confess, Knowing Thy mercy, Lord, our only plea; That we, like him, through judgment and distress, For all the weight of our unworthiness May win our way to Paradise with Thee. 3. But so bewildered is our failing heart, So dim the luster of Thy royalty, We hardly know Thee, Lord, for what Thou art, Till we begin to take the better part And lose ourselves in Paradise with Thee. 4. Then lift our eyes, dear Lord, from this poor dross, To see Thee reigning in humility, The King of love; that, wresting gain from loss, We, too, may climb the ladder of the cross, To find our home in Paradise with Thee. The Thief on the Cross 5. Three crosses rose on Calvary against the iron sky Each with its living burden, each with its human cry. And all the ages watched there, and there were you and I. 6. One bore the God incarnate, reviled by man’s disdain, Who through the woe He suffered for our eternal gain, With joy of infinite loving assuaged His infinite pain. 7. On one the thief repentant conquered his cruel doom, Who called at last on Christ and saw His glory through the gloom. For him after the torment, souls of the blest made room. 8. And one the unrepentant bore, who his harsh fate defied. To him, the child of darkness, all mercy was denied; Nailed by his brothers on the cross, he cursed his God and died. 9. Ah, Christ, who met in Paradise him who had eyes to see, Didst Thou not greet the other in hell’s black agony? And if he knew Thy face, Lord, what did he say to Thee? 10.

Father of Spirits, Whose Divine Control

Author: Aurelius Prudentius; Percy Dearmer Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1602 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1. Father of spirits, whose divine control Doth bind the soul and body into one; Thou wilt restore this body now undone; For once it was the mansion of a soul, Where dwelt the glowing wisdom of Thy Son. 2. Thou, Maker of the body, dost ordain That this Thine image, molded by Thy will, Our every hope in glory shall fulfill; So, till the body Thou dost build again, Thou wilt preserve the spirit freed from ill. 3. In that blest region shall this spirit dwell Where flowers undying bloom on every side: For lo, we trust Thy Word, O Crucified, When in Thy triumph over death and hell, The thief forgiven took Thee for his Guide. 4. Our brother goeth by the shining way, That ever to the faithful open lies: Lord, train Thy servant now in Paradise, And bless him in his fatherland, we pray, Till Thou shalt bid his body to arise. (or) 4. Our sister goeth by the shining way, That ever to the faithful open lies: Lord, train Thy servant now in Paradise, And bless her in her fatherland, we pray, Till Thou shalt bid her body to arise.

Now Israel May Say

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4545 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Now Israel may say, and that in truth Lyrics: 1. Now Israel may say, and that in truth, If that the Lord had not our right maintained, If that the Lord had not with us remained, When cruel men against us rose to strive, We surely had been swallowed up alive. 2. Yea, when their wrath against us fiercely rose, The swelling tide had o’er us spread its wave, The raging stream had then become our grave, The surging flood, in proudly swelling roll, Most surely then had overwhelmed our soul. 3. Blest be the Lord, who made us not their prey; As from the snare a bird escapeth free, Their net is rent and so escaped are we; Our only help is in Jehovah’s name, Who made the earth and all the heavenly frame.

The One Life

Author: Caroline D. Howe Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9774 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 First Line: Thine are the rivers: Thine, O God, the power Lyrics: 1 Thine are the rivers: Thine, O God, the power That bids them bear their waters to the sea; No cloud is mirrored there at morning hour, No wave uplifts its surging anthem free, Until the great command is heard from Thee. 2 Thine are the mountains. To the thunders nigh, Sounding their echo through the length of days, Unawed they stand, like giants towering high, In monumental state to speak Thy praise, Unshaken still, though lightnings are ablaze. 3 Thine are the forests, circling mile on mile, Where labyrinthine paths untrodden wind, Until our souls, all doubts to reconcile, Turn from these widening realms to Thee, to find The mighty purpose of Thy mightier mind. 4 Thine are all worlds, and Thine all realms of space, Whereon the stars mark out their shining course; Whate’er the sunlight clasps in its embrace, Bears the impress of love, whose tender force Kindles the soul and traces out its source. 5 Thine are the heav’ns; the wondrous arch of blue Up which the monarch sun shall proudly climb, And Thine the clouds of gold and purple hue, With planets laughing at the march of time, And shadowing forth Thy mysteries sublime. 6 Thine are our souls! Our beings blend with Thine, Upreaching toward Thee through these longings high, Stamped with Thy seal, and hearing countersign Of that One Life in us, that grows divine, By love illumed, as we to Thee draw nigh.

Christmas Tears

Author: Henry J. Van Dyke Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12688 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 First Line: The day returns by which we date our years Lyrics: 1 The day returns by which we date our years: Day of the joy of giving—that means love; Day of the joy of living—that means hope; Day of the Royal Child—and day that brings To older hearts the gift of Christmas tears! 2 Look, how the candles twinkle through the tree, The children shout when baby claps his hands, The room is full of laughter and of song! Your lips are smiling, dearest—tell me why Your eyes are brimming full of Christmas tears? 3 Was it a silent voice that joined the song? A vanished face that glimmered once again Among the happy circle round the tree? Was it an unseen hand that touched your cheek And brought the secret gift of Christmas tears? 4 Not dark and angry like the winter storm Of selfish grief—but full of starry gleams, And soft and still that others may not weep— Dews of remembered happiness descend To bless us with the gift of Christmas tears. 5 Ah, lose them not, dear heart—life has no pearls More pure than memories of joy love-shared. See, while we count them one by one with prayer, The heavenly hope that lights the Christma Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124TH
