O Where Is He That Trod the Sea?

Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O where is He that trod the sea, O where is He that spake, And demons from their victims flee, The dead their slumbers break; The palsied rise in freedom strong, The dumb men talk and sing, And from blind eyes, benighted long Bright beams of morning spring? 2 O where is He that trod the sea, O where is He that spake, And piercing words of liberty The deaf ears open shake; And mildest words arrest the haste Of fever's deadly fire, And strong ones heal the weak who waste Their life in sad desire? 3 O where is He that trod the sea, O where is He that spake, And dark waves rolling heavily A glassy smoothness take; And lepers, whose own flesh has been A solitary grave, See with amaze that they are clean And cry "'Tis He can save?" 4 O where is He that trod the sea? 'Tis only He can save; To thousands hungering wearily A wondrous meal He gave; Full soon, celestially fed, Their rustic fare they take; 'twas springtide when He blest the bread, And harvest when He brake. 4 O where is He that trod the sea? My soul, the Lord is here; Let all thy fears be hushed in thee; To leap, to look, to hear Be thine: thy needs He'll satisfy. Art thou diseased or dumb, Or dost thou in thy hunger cry? "I come," saith Christ, "I come." Amen. The Hymnal: Published by the authority of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S.A., 1895

Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 96 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass, Ye bars of iron, yield, And let the King of Glory pass; The Cross is in the field; That banner, brighter than the star That leads the train of night, Shines on their march, and guides from far His servants to the fight. 2 A holy war those servants wage; In that mysterious strife, The powers of heaven and hell engage For more than death or life. Ye armies of the living God, Ye warrior of Christ's host, Where hallowed footsteps never trod Take your appointed post. 3 Though few and small and weak your bands, Strong in your Captain’s strength Go to the conquest of all lands; All must be His at length. Uplifted are the gates of brass, Behold the King of Glory pass; The Cross hath won the field. Amen. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

Butler Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: On memory’s wall engraven stands Refrain First Line: My mother’s face, her precious face Lyrics: 1 On memory’s wall engraven stands My mother’s precious face; Time’s rude and ever busy hands Naught from it can erase. Refrain: My mother’s face, her precious face, In memory lives today; Time’s hand some pictures may erase, Her face ne’er fades away. 2 The clouds from sorrow’s dreary night Oft o’er face would drift; But faith, which shone so clear and bright, Those sable clouds would lift. [Refrain] 3 I saw her face in death grow cold, I saw it laid away; But yet methinks I still behold, That same sweet face today. [Refrain] 4 When in the haunts of sin I strayed, Lo! mother’s face was there; That look made gilded pleasures fade, I sought the house of prayer. [Refrain] 5 Some day within yon gates of gold, Thro’ grace my feet shall stand; There mother’s face I will behold, Amid the blood washed band. [Refrain] Used With Tune: MAYOTTE
