Lord Jesus, when we stand afar

Author: Bishop William Walsham How Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 97 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, when we stand afar, And gaze upon Thy holy cross, In love of Thee, and scorn of self, O may we count the world as loss! 2 When we behold Thy bleeding wounds, And the rough way that Thou hast trod, Make us to hate the load of sin That lay so heavy on our God. 3 O holy Lord, uplifted high, With outstretched arms, in mortal woe, Thou dost embrace in wondrous love The sinful world that lies below. 4 Give us an ever-living faith To gaze beyond the things we see; And in the mystery of Thy death Draw us and all men unto Thee. Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ the Lord His Passion; Ash Wednesday; Atonement; Christ Passion, His; Good Friday; Lent Used With Tune: PENITENCE

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Appears in 206 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, The house of God not made with hands, A great High Priest our nature wears, The guardian of mankind appears. 2 He who for men their surety stood, And poured on earth His precious blood, Pursues in heaven His mighty plan, The Saviour and the Friend of man. 3 Though now ascended up on high, He bends on earth a brother's eye; Partaker of the human name, He knows the frailty of our frame. 4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains A fellow-feeling of our pains; And still remembers in the skies His tears, His agonies and cries. 5 In every pang that rends the heart, The Man of sorrows had a part; He sympathizes with our grief, And to the sufferer sends relief. 6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, Let us make all our sorrows known; And ask the aid of heavenly power To help us in the evil hour.

Go, labour on; spend and be spent

Author: Dr. H. Bonar, 1808-1889 Appears in 447 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Go labour on; spend and be spent, Thy joy to do the Father's will; It is the way the Master went, Should not the servant tread it still? 2 Go labour on; 'tis not for nought, Thy earthly loss is heavenly gain; Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not; The Master praises; what are men? 3 Go labour on, while it is day, The world's dark night is hastening on; Speed, speed thy work, cast sloth away; It is not thus that souls are won. 4 Men die in darkness at thy side, Without a hope to cheer the tomb; Take up the torch and wave it wide, The torch that lights time's thickest gloom. 5 Toil on, faint not, keep watch, and pray; Be wise, the erring soul to win; Go forth into the world's highway, Compel the wanderer to come in. 6 Toil on, and in thy toil rejoice; For toil comes rest, for exile home; Soon shalt thou hear the Bridegroom's voice, The midnight peal, "Behold, I come!"

When God, Provoked With Daring Crimes

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When God, provoked with daring crimes, Scourges the madness of the times, He turns their fields to barren sand, And dries the rivers from the land. 2 His word can raise the springs again, And make the withered mountains green; Send showery blessings from the skies, And harvests in the desert rise. 3 Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey, Or men as fierce and wild as they, He bids th’oppressed and poor repair, And builds them towns and cities there. 4 They sow the fields, and trees they plant, Whose yearly fruit supplies their want; Their race grows up from fruitful stocks, Their wealth increases with their flocks. 5 Thus they are blest; but if they sin, He lets the heathen nations in, A savage crew invades their lands, Their princes die by barbarous hands. 6 Their captive sons, exposed to scorn, Wander unpitied and forlorn: The country lies unfenced, untilled, And desolation spreads the field. 7 Yet if the humbled nation mourns, Again His dreadful hand He turns; Again He makes their cities thrive, And bids the dying churches live. 8 The righteous with a joyful sense, Admire the works of Providence; And tongues of atheists shall no more Blaspheme the God that saints adore. 9 How few with pious care record These wondrous dealings of the Lord! But wise observers still shall find The Lord is holy, just and kind. Used With Tune: HOLBURN HILL Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
