Father, Thy Will Be Done

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9221 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Father, Thy will be done, not mine Lyrics: 1 Father, Thy will be done, not mine, Thy only will be done! To Thee my Isaac I resign, I render up my son. 2 Without a murmuring wish I give The child Thou gav’st to me; Or let him to Thy glory live, Or let him die to Thee. 3 I dare not deprecate the cross, Or of my loss complain, Assured my momentary loss Is his eternal gain. 4 I hear the providential word, I bless the will divine; Remove him from my bosom, Lord, And take him up to Thine.

Behold! The Ambassador Divine

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9224 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold! the Ambassador divine, Descending from above, To publish to mankind the law Of everlasting love. 2 On Him, in rich effusion poured, The heav’nly dew descends; And truth divine He shall reveal To earth’s remotest ends. 3 No trumpet sound, at His approach, Shall strike the wondering ears; But still and gentle breathe the voice In which the God appears. 4 By His kind hand the shaken reed Shall raise its falling frame; The dying embers shall revive, And kindle to a flame. 5 The onward progress of His zeal Shall never know decline, Till foreign lands and distant isles Receive the law divine. 6 He who spread forth the arch of heav’n, And bade the planets roll, Who laid the basis of the earth, And formed the human soul— 7 Thus saith the Lord, “Thee have I sent, A prophet from the sky, Wide o’er the nations to proclaim The message from on high. 8 “Before Thy face the shades of death Shall take to sudden flight; The people who in darkness dwell Shall hail a glorious light; 9 “The gates of brass shall ’sunder burst, The iron fetters fall; The promised jubilee of Heav’n Appointed rise o’er all. 10 “And lo! presaging Thy approach, The heathen temple shake, And trembling in forsaken fanes, The fabled idols quake. 11 I am Jehovah: I am One: My name shall now be known; No idol shall usurp My praise, Nor mount into My throne. 12 Lo, former scenes, predicted once, Conspicuous rise to view; And future scenes, predicted now, Shall be accomplished, too. 13 Now sing a new song to the Lord! Let earth His praise resound; Ye who upon the ocean dwell, And fill the isles around. 14 O city of the Lord! begin The universal song; And let the scattered villages The joyful notes prolong. 15 Let Kedar’s wilderness afar Lift up the lonely voice; And let the tenants of the rock With accent rude rejoice. 16 O from the streams of distant lands Unto Jehovah sing! And joyful from the mountain tops Shout to the Lord the King! 17 Let all combined with one accord Jehovah’s glories raise, Till in remotest bounds of earth The nations sound His praise.

When Jesus, By The Virgin Brought

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9226 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Jesus, by the Virgin brought, So runs the law of Heav’n, Was offered holy to the Lord, And at the altar given; 2 Simeon the Just and the Devout, Who, frequent in the fane, Had for the Savior waited long, But waited still in vain, 3 Came, Heav’n directed, at the hour When Mary held her Son; He stretchèd forth his agèd arms, While tears of gladness run: 4 With holy joy upon his face The good old father smiled, While fondly in his withered arms He clasped the promised Child. 5 And then he lifted up to Heav’n An earnest asking eye; "My joy is full, my hour is come, Lord, let Thy servant die! 6 "At last my arms embrace my Lord, Now let their vigor cease; At last my eyes my Savior see, Now let them close in peace! 7 "The star and glory of the land Hath now begun to shine; The morning that shall gild the globe Breaks on these eyes of mine!"

The Complaint Of Nature

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9227 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Few are thy days, and full of woe Lyrics: 1 Few are thy days, and full of woe, O man of woman born! Thy doom is written, "Dust thou art, And shalt to dust return." 2 Determined are the days that fly Successive o’er thy head; The numbered hour is on the wing, That lays thee with the dead. 3 Alas! the little day of life Is shorter than a span; Yet black with thousand hidden ills To miserable man. 4 Gay is thy morning; flattering hope Thy sprightly step attends; But soon the tempest howls behind, And then dark night descends. 5 Before its splendid hour, the cloud Comes o’er the beam of light: A pilgrim in a weary land, Man tarries but a night. 6 Behold! sad emblem of thy state, The flowers that paint the field; Or trees, that crown the mountain’s brow, And boughs and blossoms yield. 7 When chill the blast of winter blows, Away the summer flies, The flowers resign their sunny robes, And all their beauty dies. 8 Nipped by the year, the forest fades; And, shaking to the wind, The leaves toss to and fro, and streak The wilderness behind. 9 The winter past, reviving flowers Anew shall paint the plain; The woods shall hear the voice of spring, And flourish green again: 10 But man departs this earthly scene, Ah! never to return! No second spring shall e’er revive The ashes of the urn. 11 The inexorable doors of death, What hand can e’er unfold? Who from the cerements of the tomb Can raise the human mould? 12 The mighty flood that rolls along Its torrents to the main, The waters lost can ne’er recall From that abyss again. 13 The days, the years, the ages, dark Descending down to night, Can never, never be redeemed Back to the gates of light. 14 So man departs the living scene, To night’s perpetual gloom; The voice of morning ne’er shall break The slumbers of the tomb. 15 Where are our fathers? whither gone The mighty men of old? The patriarchs, prophets, princes, kings, In sacred books enrolled? 16 Gone to the resting place of man, The everlasting home, Where ages past have gone before, Where future ages come. 17 Thus Nature poured the wail of woe, And urged her earnest cry; Her voice in agony extreme Ascended to the sky. 18 The Almighty heard; then from His throne In majesty He rose; And from the heav’n, that opened wide, His voice in mercy flows. 19 "When mortal man resigns his breath, And falls a clod of clay, The soul immortal wings its flight To never setting day. 20 "Prepared of old for wicked men The bed of torment lies; The just shall enter into bliss Immortal in the skies."

The Lord Appears My Helper Now

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9235 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The Lord appears my helper now, Nor is my faith afraid What all the sons of earth can do, Since Heav’n affords its aid. 2 ’Tis safer, Lord, to hope in Thee, And have my God my friend, Than trust in men of high degree, And on their truth depend. 3 Like bees my foes beset me round, A large and angry swarm; But I shall all their rage confound By Thine almighty arm. 4 ’Tis through the Lord my heart is strong, In Him my lips rejoice; While His salvation is my song, How cheerful is my voice! 5 Like angry bees they girt me round; When God appears they fly; So burning thorns with crackling sound Make a fierce blaze and die. 6 Joy to the saints and peace belongs; The Lord protects their days: Let Israel tune immortal songs To His almighty grace.
