O Wondrous Type! O Vision Fair

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 106 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type! O vision fair Of glory that the Church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun He glows! 2 From age to age the tale declare, How with the three disciples there, Where Moses and Elijah meet, The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 3 With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest to-day What glory shall be theirs above Who joy in God with perfect love. 4 And faithful hearts are raised on high By this great vision's mystery, For which in joyful strains we raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise. 5 O Father, with the eternal Son And Holy Spirit, ever One, Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace To see Thy glory face to face. Amen.

Have Mercy, Lord, Thy Wrath Remove

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Have mercy, Lord, Thy wrath remove, Nor let Thy judgments weigh me down; I cannot live without Thy love, I cannot stand beneath Thy frown. 2 Wilt Thou not once Thy face display, And dart a ray of heavenly light? Still must I urge my cheerless way, And mourn throughout my long-lived night? 3 Lo! In my prayer I ever mourn, Vexed with the sad remains of sin, Broken, and bruised, and racked, and torn, How shall I bear this hell within? 4 This unbelief, these cruel fears, Distracting doubts, and torturing pain, While Thou art silent at my tears, Thou see’st them ever flow in vain. 5 And must I yield to black despair? In vain on Thee for mercy call, Tempted above what I can bear! And wilt Thou suffer me to fall? 6 Never again disclose Thy face, Or show me the atoning blood? Have I exhausted all Thy grace? Hath God forgotten to be good? 7 Forever is Thy mercy gone, Thy truth, and faithfulness, and love? Doth angry justice rule alone? Have I no advocate above? 8 Then pour Thy vengeance on my head, And quench the smoking flax in me, Break (if Thou canst) a bruisèd reed, And cast me out who come to Thee. 9 Jesu, I come my doom to meet, A sinner whom Thou wilt not spare: But I will perish at Thy feet, The first that ever perished there!

Why, Herod, Unrelenting Foe

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie; Caelius Sedulius Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Why, Herod, unrelenting foe, Doth the Lord’s coming move thee so? He doth no earthly kingdom seek Who brings His kingdom to the meek. 2. Led by the star, the wise men find The Light that lightens all mankind; The threefold presents which they bring Declare Him God, and Man, and King. 3. In Jordan’s sacred waters stood The meek and heavenly Lamb of God, And He who did no sin, thereby Cleansed us from all iniquity! 4. And now a miracle was done: Six water pots stood there of stone; Christ spake the word with power divine, The water reddened into wine. 5. All honor unto Christ be paid, Pure offspring of the holy maid, With Father and with Holy Ghost, Till time in endless time be lost.

Thee Will I Love, O Lord, My Strength

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thee will I love, O Lord, my strength, My rock, my tower, my high defense; Thy mighty arm shall be my trust, For I have found salvation thence. 2. Death, and the terrors of the grave, Stood round me with their dismal shade; While floods of high temptations rose, And made my sinking soul afraid. 3. I saw the opening gates of hell, With endless pains and sorrows there, Which none but they that feel can tell; While I was hurried to despair. 4. In my distress I called my God, When I could scarce believe Him mine: He bowed His ear to my complaint, Then did His grace appear divine. 5. With speed He flew to my relief, As on a cherub’s wing He rode; Awful and bright as lightning shone The face of my deliverer, God. 6. Temptations fled at His rebuke, The blast of His almighty breath; He sent salvation from on high, And drew me from the deeps of death. 7. Great were my fears, my foes were great, Much was their strength, and more their rage; But Christ, my Lord, is conqueror still, In all the wars that devils wage. 8. My song for ever shall record That terrible, that joyful hour; And give the glory to the Lord, Due to His mercy and His power.
