As when the Hebrew prophet raised

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Forgiveness of Sins Lyrics: 1 As when the Hebrew prophet raised The brazen serpent high, The wounded looked, and straight were cured, The people ceased to die; 2 So from the Saviour on the cross A healing virtue flows; Who looks to him with lively faith Is saved from endless woes. 3 For God gave up his Son to death, So gen'rous was his love, That all the faithful might enjoy Eternal life above. 4 Not to condemn the sons of men The Son of God appeared; No weapons in his hand are seen, Nor voice of terror heard: 5 He came to raise our fallen state, And our lost hopes restore; Faith leads us to the mercy seat, And bids us fear no more. Amen. Scripture: John 3:14-15 Used With Tune: DOWNS Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases,, 1781

Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray

Author: Johann B. Freystein; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Sin and Forgiveness Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, from thy sleep awaken; be not by the evil day unawares o'ertaken. For the foe, well we know, oft his harvest reapeth while the Christian sleepeth. 2 Watch against the devil's snares, lest asleep he find thee; for indeed no pains he spares to deceive and blind thee. Satan's prey oft are they who secure are sleeping and no watch are keeping. 3 Watch! Let not the wicked world with its pow'r defeat thee. Watch lest with her pomp unfurled she betray and cheat thee. Watch and see, lest there be faithless friends to charm thee, who but seek to harm thee. 4 Watch against thyself, my soul, lest with grace thou trifle; let not self thy thoughts control nor God's mercy stifle. Pride and sin lurk within, all thy hopes to scatter; heed not when they flatter. 5 But while watching, also pray to the Lord unceasing. He will free thee, be thy stay, strength and faith increasing. O Lord, bless in distress and let nothing swerve me from the will to serve thee. Scripture: Matthew 26:41 Used With Tune: STRAF MICH NICHT

Where the cherubim adore him sits our God in royal state. He is holy; he is holy; blessed, only Potentate! 2 God the Lord is King of glory; Zion, tell the world his fame; ancient Israel, the story of his faithfulness proclaim: He is holy; he is holy; holy is his awesome name. 3 Laws divine to them were spoken from the pillar of the cloud; sacred precepts quickly broken; fiercely then his vengeance flowed. He is holy; he is holy; to the dust their hearts were bowed. 4 But their Father, God, forgave them when they sought his face once more: ever ready was to save them, tenderly did he restore. He is holy; he is holy; we too will his grace implore. Scripture: Psalm 99 Used With Tune: EDEN CHURCH

This earth, he cries, is not my place, I seek my place in heaven: A country far from mortal sight Yet, O by faith I see The land of rest, the saints' delight, The heaven prepared for me. 2 A stranger in the world below, I calmly sojourn here; Nor can its happiness or woe Provoke my hope or fear. Its evils in a moment end, Its joys as soon are past; But, O the bliss to which I tend Eternally shall last! 3 To that Jerusalem above With singing I repair; While in the flesh, my hope and love, My heart and soul, are there: There my exalted Saviour stands, My merciful High Priest, And still extends His wounded hands To take me to His breast.
