Thine, Lord, Is Wisdom, Thine Alone
Author: Ernst Lange; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thine, Lord, is wisdom, Thine alone;
Justice and truth before Thee stand:
Yet, nearer to Thy sacred throne,
Mercy withholds Thy lifted hand.
2. Each evening shows Thy tender love,
Each rising morn Thy plenteous grace;
Thy wakened wrath doth slowly move,
Thy willing mercy flies apace.
3. To Thy benign, indulgent care,
Father, this light, this breath, we owe;
And all we have, and all we are,
From Thee, great Source of being, flow.

The power omnipotent is Thine;
And when created nature dies,
Thy never ceasing glories shine. Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Neues geistreiches Gesangbuch, by Johann A. Freylinghausen, 1714; translation in Collection of Psalms and Hymns (Charleston, South Carolina: 17

LORD, If You Do Not Soon Appear
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 LORD, if You dost not soon appear,
virtue and faith will fly away;
a faithful man amongst us here
will scarce be found, if You delay.
2 But lips that with deceit abound
shall not maintain their triumph long;
the God of vengeance will confound
the flatt'ring and blaspheming tongue.
3 The LORD, who sees the poor oppressed
and hears th'oppressor's haughty strain,
will rise to give His children rest,
nor shall they trust His word in vain.
4 Thy Word, O LORD, though often tried,
void of deceit shall still appear:
nor silver, sev'n times purified
from dross and mixture, shines so clear.
5 Thy grace shall, in the darkest hour,
defend the holy soul from harm;
though when the vilest men have pow'r,
on ev'ry side will sinners swarm. Scripture: Psalm 12 Used With Tune: WAREHAM

Around the Throne of God a Band
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-66 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Around the throne of God a band
Of glorious angels ever stand;
Bright things they see, sweet harps they hold,
And on their heads are crowns of gold.
2 Some wait around him, ready still
To sing his praise and do his will,
And some, when he commands them, go
To guard his servants here below.
3 Lord, give your angels ev'ry day
Command to guide us on our way,
And bid them ev'ry evening keep
Their watch around us while we sleep.
4 Then shall no wicked thing draw near
To do us harm or cause us fear,
And we shall live, when life is past,
With angels round your throne at last. Topics: St. Michael and All Angels; St. Michael and All Angels Used With Tune: WAREHAM

Author: P. P. Pratt Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: The time is nigh, the happy time Lyrics: 1. The time is nigh, the happy time,
That great expected, blessed day,
When countless thousands of our race
Shall dwell with Christ, and Him obey.

Though earth and hell should dare oppose;
The stone out of the mountain cut,
Though unobserved, a kingdom grows.
3. The blended image soon shall fall —
Brass, silver, iron, gold and clay;
And superstition's dreadful reign
To light and liberty give way.
4. In one sweet symphony of praise,
The Jews and Gentiles will unite;
And infidelity o'ercome,
Return again to endless night.
5. From east to west, from north to south,
The Savior's kingdom shall extend,
And ev'ry man in ev'ry place
Shall meet a brother and a friend. Used With Tune: [The time is nigh, the happy time]

Author: Aurelius Prudentius, 348-413; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The wingèd herald of the day
Proclaims the morn’s approaching ray:
And Christ the Lord our souls excites,
And so to endless life invites.

Who sick or wrapped in slumber lies;
And chaste and just and sober stand
And watch: My coming is at hand.
3. With earnest cry, with tearful care,
Call we the Lord to hear our prayer;
While supplication, pure and deep,
Forbids each chastened heart to sleep.
4. Do Thou, O Christ, our slumber wake:
Do Thou the chains of darkness break;
Purge Thou our former sins away,
And in our souls new light display.
5. All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete. Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Liber Cathemerinon; translation in the Hymnal Noted, enlarged edition, 1854
