How Painful Is The Task
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16122 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Key: e minor or modal Lyrics:
1 How painful is the task,
A member to disown;
Once by the church esteemed and loved,
And as a brother known.
2 Could aught prevent the deed,
The solemn deed declared,
How happy it for us had been,
From such a duty spared.
3 But oh, the love of Christ,
The love of truth demands,
This needful, painful sacrifice,
This duty at our hands.
4 Should we at sin connive,
Or any evil spare,
How could we give account at last,
When Jesus shall appear.
5 His eyes as flames of fire,
Search all the churches through,
Naught can be hidden from His sight,
Though veiled from mortal view.
6 To Him may we ourselves,
In faithfulness approve;
And while we mourn our humbled state,
Wait His reviving love.

Fixed The Covenant Is, And Certain
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16125 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Tune Key: e minor or modal First Line: Fixed the cov’nant is, and certain Lyrics:
1 Fixed the cov’nant is, and certain,
Ratified by blood divine;
Saints, with loving exultation,
Celebrate the kind design:
Sing of mercy,
As it now in Jesus shines.
2 Hence proceed unnumbered blessings
Pardon, peace and endless joy,
Those with cov’nant-truth recorded,
Shall our daily thoughts employ:
Precious Bible,
Thus to bring a Savior nigh.
3 All its promises and precepts,
All the doctrines it contains,
Are a rich and boundless treasure,
Far exceeding earthly gains:
Sacred volume,
Antidote to mortal pains.
4 Let thy light be still extended,
Reaching all the human race,
Let the mighty conquering Savior,
Show the glories of His face:
Win the nations,
By His sovereign power and grace.

Sing Alleluia, All Ye Lands!
Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16164 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Key: f minor First Line: Sing Alleluia, all ye lands! Lyrics:
1 Sing Alleluia, all ye lands!
Ye floods and oceans, clap your hands!
The King returns from glorious fight,
Whose arms have shattered Satan’s might;
Our gladdest song shall therefore be,
That God was reigning from the Tree!
2 The sling and five smooth stones have slain
The giant on the battle plain;
And Holofernes’ falchion dread,
Hath severed Holofernes’ head;
Our chief is crowned, for slain was He,
When God was reigning from the Tree!
3 Alone, despised, and set at naught,
The press He trod, the fight He fought;
Alone He crushed the dragon down,
And so alone He wears the crown;
The sun is bright, the clouds must flee,
For God was reigning from the Tree!
4 Jerusalem, arise and shine!
The glory of thy Lord is thine;
The victor’s crown, the royal throne,
Are all His gift, and all thine own;
For all of His thine own shall be,
Since God was reigning from the Tree!

Satan, By Artifice And Fraud
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16240 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: a minor or modal First Line: Satan, by artifice and fraud Lyrics:
1 Satan, by artifice and fraud,
Unwary souls decoys;
Draws the affections off from God,
Allures, and then destroys.
2 With subtle art he spreads the net,
Ye saints, in time beware;
Be circumspect, and guard your feet
Against the dangerous snare.
3 Though he assumes an angel’s face,
As oftentimes he will;
Yet swiftly flee this foe to peace,
For he is Satan still.
4 To God approach by fervent prayer,
And His assistance crave;
Then will He make your souls His care,
Who mighty is to save.

I Fear The Serpent's Hiss
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16243 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Key: e minor or modal First Line: I fear the serpent’s hiss Lyrics:
1 I fear the serpent’s hiss,
The prowling lion’s roar,
The tempter’s fascinating wiles,
And his destroying power.
2 What subtle arts he tries,
To draw me into sin!
Presents th’alluring bait, but hides
The baneful hook within.
3 He makes fair promises
Of safety, peace and joy;
And where his craft does not prevail,
He’ll open force employ.
4 A thousand forms he takes,
As best may suit his end;
Now a bright angel he appears,
And now a hateful fiend.
5 But why should I of him
Be slavishly afraid?
Jesus, whose heel the serpent bruised,
Shall bruise the serpent’s head.

Oh What Amazing Horrors Seize
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16256 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: e minor or modal First Line: Oh what amazing horrors seize Lyrics:
1 Oh what amazing horrors seize
The sinner at his death!
With what reluctance and despair,
He yields his parting breath.
2 He gives a groan, and straight is gone
Where woeful spirits dwell;
A victim to eternal wrath,
The quenchless flames of hell.
3 Some drops of this tremendous storm
Might fall at times before;
But now it bursts upon his head,
In one relentless shower.
4 Oh may I, ere it be too late,
To Jesus’ cross repair;
From thence derive a cheering hope,
And find salvation there.
5 Supported by His powerful grace
And sprinkled with His blood,
I’ll rest secure from every ill,
Nor dread an angry God.

Oh What Amazing Horrors Seize
To Thee Whose Eye All Nature Owns
Author: Thomas Hardy Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16280 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Tune Key: c minor or modal Lyrics:
1 To Thee whose eye all nature owns,
Who hurlest dynasts from their thrones
And liftest those of low estate
We sing, with her men consecrate!
2 Yea, Great and Good, Thee, Thee, we hail,
Who shakes the strong, who shields the frail,
Who had not shaped such souls as we
If tender mercy lacked in Thee!
3 Though times be when the mortal moan
Seems unascending to Thy throne,
Though seers do not as yet explain
Why suffering sobs to Thee in vain;
4 We hold that Thy unscanted scope
Affords a food for final hope,
That mild-eyed Prescience ponders nigh
Life’s loom, to lull it by-and-by.
5 Therefore we choir to highest height
The loving will, the kindly might
That balances the vast for weal,
That purges us by wounds to heal.
6 The systemed suns the skies enscroll
Obey Thee in their rhythmic roll,
Ride radiantly at Thy command,
Are darkened by Thy master hand!
7 And these pale panting multitudes
Seen surging here, their moils, their moods,
All shall fulfill their joy in Thee,
In Thee abide eternally!
8 Exultant adoration give
To Thee, through whom all living live,
To Thee, in whom all dying die,
Whose means the end shall justify!

How Strong Thine Arm Is, Mighty God!
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16328 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: g minor First Line: How strong Thine arm is, mighty God! Lyrics:
1 How strong Thine arm is, mighty God!
Who would not fear Thy name?
Jesus, how sweet Thy graces are!
Who would not love the Lamb?
2 He has done more than Moses did,
Our prophet and our king;
From bonds of hell He freed our souls,
And taught our lips to sing.
3 In the Red Sea by Moses’ hand
Th’Egyptian host was drowned;
But Christ’s own blood hides all our sins,
And guilt no more is found.
4 When thro’ the desert Israel went,
With manna they were fed;
Our Lord invites us to His flesh,
And calls it living bread.
5 Moses beheld the promised land,
Yet never reached the place!
But Jesus brings His followers home
To see His Father’s face.
6 Then shall our love and joy be full,
And feel a warmer flame,
And sweeter voices tune the song
Of Moses and the Lamb.
