When Time Seems Short and Death Is Near
Author: George W. Bethune Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7340 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: When time seems short, and death is near Lyrics: 1. When time seems short, and death is near,
And I am pressed by doubt and fear,
And sins, an overflowing tide,
Assail my peace on every side,
This thought my refuge still shall be,
I know my Savior died for me.
2. His name is Jesus, and He died—
For guilty sinners crucified;
Content to die, that He might win
Their ransom from the death of sin.
No sinner worse than I can be,
Therefore I know He died for me.
3. If grace were bought, I could not buy;
If grace were coined, no wealth have I;
By grace alone I draw my breath,
Held up from everlasting death.
Yet since I know His grace is free,
I know the Savior died for me.
4. I read God’s holy Word, and find
Great truths which far transcend my mind
And little do I know beside
Of thought so high and deep and wide.
This is my best theology—
I know the Savior died for me.
5. My faith is weak, but ’tis Thy gift;
Thou canst my helpless soul uplift,
And say, Thy bonds of death are riv’n,
Thy sins by Me are all forgiv’n,
And thou shalt live, from guilt set free;
For I, thy Savior, died for thee. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORO TE
When Time Seems Short and Death Is Near
Shepherd Of Israel, Bow Thine Ear
Author: James Merrick, 1720-1769 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8183 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Shepherd of Israel, bow Thine ear;
O Thou, our prayer indulgent hear,
Who Joseph’s pasture hast prepared,
His guide by day, by night his guard;
Betwixt the cherubs seated high;
Glad with Thy beams our longing eyes!
2 With all who from Manasses claim
Their birth, and all of Ephraim’s name,
Each hostile power by Thee o’erthrown,
Let Benjamin Thy presence own!
How long, great God, shall Israel see
Thy wrath, nor bend the stubborn knee?
3 Behold a vine from Egypt’s land,
Transplanted by Thy fostering hand.
Behold in Canaan’s shores her bed
By Thee prepare, her root outspread
Far as the utmost coast extends,
While o’er the hills her shade extends.
4 Her branches, towering to the skies,
With healthful stem conspicuous rise,
Round the tall cedar’s loftiest boughs
Her covering veil entwined she throws;
And, strengthened by Thy power, defies
Each storm that rends the wintry skies.
5 Long cherished by Thy care she stood;
Here, verging toward th’Assyrian flood,
In circuit wide the earth she crowned,
And there, the ocean marked her bound.
But now, in sad reverse (ah, why?)
By Thee o’erthrown the fences lie.
6 The fruit exposed beside the way,
To each rapacious band a prey;
The savage boar with restless toil
Uproots it from the loosened soil,
And every monster of the wood
Crops from the branch his obvious food.
7 Leader of hosts, and Israel’s Lord!
Return; Thy succors oft implored
Extend: from Heav’n’s high seat incline
Thy eyes, and visit this Thy vine.
Turn them again, Thy face display,
And grief and fear shall fly away. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORE TE
Shepherd Of Israel, Bow Thine Ear
Oh, Why, By Furious Rage Combined
Author: Harriet Auber Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8634 Lyrics: 1 Oh, why, by furious rage combined,
Were Israel’s sons with heathens joined,
And madly drew the hostile sword
Against their own anointed Lord?
Their blinded counsels but fulfill
The gracious purpose of His will.
2 By them that precious blood was spilt,
Which flowed to wash away our guilt;
And Jesus but resigned His breath
To triumph over sin and death;
Henceforth as Son of God to reign,
The universe His wide domain.
3 Those sacred brows, once torn with thorns,
An everlasting crown adorns;
Those hands, by cruel cords disgraced,
In which the insulting reed was placed,
Now grasp the mighty rod of power—
Oh tremble, nations, and adore!
4 But still, yes still, with tender love,
He prays, He pleads for us above;
Oh seek we then the Savior’s face,
With joy accept His offered grace,
Ere, armed with vengeance from on high,
He comes in dreadful majesty. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORO TE
Oh, Why, By Furious Rage Combined
We, Only We Believe Indeed
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11248 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We, only we believe indeed,
Our faith by our obedience show,
Who follow, by His Spirit led,
And walk as Jesus walked below,
And in His ways continue still,
And all His words with joy fulfill.
2 Justly we call the Father ours,
The Son we really do possess,
And tasting the celestial powers
Go on in holy love and peace,
To meet our Lord from paradise,
To claim our mansions in the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORE TE

Then, Then The Gospel Day Shall Rise
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11485 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Then, then the Gospel day shall rise,
(Jehovah speaks, let earth attend)
“I from My throne above the skies
Will on all flesh My Spirit send;
Not one but may the promise find
The gift poured out on all mankind.
2 "Your sons and daughters at that day
Shall in the solemn worship join,
Or fervent in the Spirit pray,
Or utter words of praise divine;
The old shall dream, inspired by Me,
The young shall heavenly visions see.
3 "I will to the whole ransomed race
My glorious deity reveal,
Pour out the Spirit of My grace,
My servants and My handmaids fill
With love, shed in their hearts abroad,
With all the plenitude of God.
4 "Who slight My miracles of love
On them I will My judgments show,
Portentous signs in Heaven above,
And prodigies in earth below;
The earth shall be burnt up with fire,
And all its works in smoke expire.
5 "The sun shall black as sackcloth turn,
The moon shall redden into blood,
The elements melt, the Heav’ns shall burn,
At that great awful day of God;
The stars shall from their orbits fall,
And flames and darkness cover all."
6 Then shall the Lord His truth display,
(the merciful almighty Lord)
To those that did His call obey,
The residue that kept His Word;
He shall the full salvation give,
And bid His saints in glory live.
7 Then all that on the Lord rely,
And call in faith on Jesu’s name,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
Their master’s glorious joy shall claim,
Joy to His faithful servants giv’n,
Joy in a new eternal Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORO TE
Then, Then The Gospel Day Shall Rise
Why Should I Ask The Future Load?
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11684 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 First Line: Why should I ask the future load Lyrics: Why should I ask the future load
To aggravate my present care?
Strong in the grace today bestowed,
The evil of today I bear;
And if tomorrow’s care I see,
Fresh grace shall still suffice for me. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORO TE
Why Should I Ask The Future Load?
Merciful God, Vouchsafe To Me
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11804 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Merciful God, vouchsafe to me,
That last transcendent victory;
That crown of all Thy graces give,
And bid me in Thine image live,
’Till wholly sanctified I rise,
To feast on Christ in paradise.
2 Christ is the Tree of Life divine;
I live indeed, if Christ be mine;
And when He doth Himself bestow,
My God as I am known, I know,
And all the life of glory prove,
For ever filled with heavenly love. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORO TE
Merciful God, Vouchsafe To Me
If Now Thou Dost Thy Work Revive
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12328 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 If now Thou dost Thy work revive,
If still Thou dost Thy Church increase,
Persist to save our souls alive,
O Christ, stand by Thy witnesses,
And every cursèd thing remove,
And every bar to perfect love.
2 The vile abusers of Thy grace,
The men of lips and lives unclean,
Above Thy oracles who praise
The dreams of Nicholas obscene,
Restrain by Thy great arm alone,
And drive their idol from his throne.
3 Those who withstand the Gospel word
Of real, inward righteousness,
Betray Thee, while they call Thee Lord,
In words exalt, in deeds debase;
Tell them, they shall no farther go
To serve the interests of Thy foe.
4 Root up the tares by Satan sown,
The whispering hypocrites expel;
And cast the soft accuser down,
But spare the men inflamed of hell,
Nor let them all their burden bear,
Or gnaw their tongues in sad despair.
5 The brethren—false, by stealth crept in,
Thy cause and people to disgrace,
Deceiving and deceived by sin,
By Satan with his shining face,
Detect them, Lord, and scatter wide
The specious sons of gilded pride.
6 Let none within the pale be found
But simple Israelites indeed,
But men of upright hearts and sound,
The humble, poor, and holy seed,
Who truly are what they profess,
Thy band of blood-bought witnesses. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORO TE
If Now Thou Dost Thy Work Revive
Ye That Delight To Serve The Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13252 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ye that delight to serve the Lord,
The honors of His name record,
His sacred name for ever bless;
Where’er the circling sun displays
His rising beams, or setting rays,
Let lands and seas His power confess.
2 Not time, nor nature’s narrow rounds,
Can give His vast dominion bounds,
The heav’ns are far below His height:
Let no created greatness dare
With our eternal God compare,
Armed with His uncreated might.
3 He bows His glorious head to view
What the bright hosts of angels do,
And bends His care to mortal things;
His sovereign hand exalts the poor,
He takes the needy from the door,
And makes them company for kings.
4 When childless families despair,
He sends the blessing of an heir,
To rescue their expiring name;
The mother, with a thankful voice,
Proclaims His praises and her joys:
Let every age advance His fame. Languages: English Tune Title: ADORO TE

Farewell To A Missionary
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854, alt. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16324 First Line: Home, kindred, friends and country, these Lyrics:
1 Home, kindred, friends and country, these
Are things with which we never part;
From clime to clime, o’er land and seas,
We bear them with us in our heart;
And yet ’tis hard to feel resigned
When these, all these, are left behind.
2 But when the pilgrim’s staff we take,
And follow Christ from shore to shore,
Gladly for Him we all forsake,
Press on, and only look before:
Though humbled nature mourns her loss,
The spirit glories in the Cross.
3 It is no sin, like man, to weep,
E’en Jesus wept o’er Lazarus, dead;
Or yearn for home beyond the deep,
He had not where to lay His head:
The patriot’s tears will He condemn,
Who wept o’er lost Jerusalem?
4 Take up your cross, and say, "Farewell!"
Go forth without the camp to Him,
Who left Heav’n’s throne with men to dwell,
Who died His murderers to redeem:
Oh! tell His name in every ear;
Doubt not—the dead themselves will hear;
5 Hear, and come forth to life anew,
Then, while the Gentile courts they fill,
Shall not your Savior’s words stand true?
Home, kindred, friends and country still,
In earth’s last desert you shall find,
Yet lose not those you left behind.
