The sun rolls down the distant west

Author: Anon. Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sun rolls down the distant west, Soft twilight steals abroad To welcome in the day of rest, The Sabbath of our Lord. 2 This holy day let us begin With songs of praise to God, Who pardons all our guilt and sin, Through Jesus' precious blood. 3 Now in this tranquil hour we lay All worldly cares aside, And hallow God's most holy day, Though friends or foes may chide. 4 'Tis not to seek the world's applause That we from labor rest; We strive to keep God's holy laws, And he these moments blessed.

Remark, my soul, the narrow bounds

Author: Philip Doddridge Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Remark, my soul, the narrow bound Of each revolving year; How swift the weeks complete their round! How short the months appear! 2 So fast eternity comes on, And that important day When all that mortal life hath done God's judgment shall survey. 3 Awake, O God, my careless heart Its great concerns to see, That I may act the Christian's part, And give the years to thee.

With Reverence Let the Saints Appear

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With reverence let the saints appear, And bow before the Lord; His high commands with reverence hear, And tremble at His Word. 2. How terrible Thy glories be! How bright Thine armies shine! Where is the power that vies with Thee, Or truth compared to Thine? 3. The northern pole and southern rest On Thy supporting hand; Darkness and day, from east to west, Move round at Thy command. 4. Thy words the raging winds control, And rule the boisterous deep; Thou mak’st the sleeping billows roll, The rolling billows sleep. 5. Heav’n, earth, and air, and sea, are Thine, And the dark world of hell; How did Thine arm in vengeance shine When Egypt durst [did] rebel! 6. Justice and judgment are Thy throne, Yet wondrous is Thy grace; While truth and mercy, joined in one, Invite us near Thy face. Used With Tune: WARWICK Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
