From Thee, My God, All Blessings Spring
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9478 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 From Thee, my God, all blessings spring,
To Thee my life I owe;
My lungs by Thee were bid to heave,
My feet were taught to go.
2 Thy wool me clothes, Thy bread I eat,
Thy streams my thirst allay:
Each night Thou spread’st a tent around,
Kind guardian through the day.
3 A friend, that medicine sweet of life,
To Thee, my God, I owe:
Health, credit, liberty, and peace
All from Thy bounty flow.
4 Author of good! I praise Thy name,
On Thee I still depend:
Give me this day my daily bread,
All needful blessings send.
5 If more Thou giv’st, I thank Thee, Lord;
If less, still kind Thou art:
Content with this, may I secure
That sure and better part.
6 Next to Thy right may I have claim
To all that I call mine;
My honest labors prosper, Lord,
Thus give me that is Thine.
7 All anxious cares that wound my peace,
Lord, banish from my breast;
The future I would leave with Thee,
For Thou wilt do the best. Languages: English Tune Title: ABIDING GRACE
From Thee, My God, All Blessings Spring
The Promised Land
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9479 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Far from these narrow scenes of night Lyrics: 1 Far from these narrow scenes of night
Unbounded glories rise,
And realms of infinite delight
Unknown to mortal eyes.
2 Far distant land—could mortal eyes
But half its joys explore,
How would our spirits long to rise,
And dwell on earth no more!
3 There pain and sickness never come,
And grief no more complains!
Health triumphs in immortal bloom,
And endless pleasure reigns!
4 From discord free and war’s alarms,
And want and pining care,
Plenty and peace unite their charms,
And smile unchanging there.
5 There rich varieties of joy,
Continual feast the mind;
Pleasures which fill, but never cloy,
Immortal and refined!
6 No factious strife, no envy there,
The sons of peace molest,
But harmony and love sincere,
Fill every happy breast.
7 No cloud those blissful regions know,
For ever bright and fair!
For sin, the source of mortal woe,
Can never enter there.
8 There no alternate night is known,
Nor sun’s faint sickly ray;
But glory from the sacred throne
Spreads everlasting day.
9 That glorious Monarch there displays
His beams of wondrous grace;
His happy subjects sing His praise,
And bow before His face.
10 O may the heavenly prospect fire
Our hearts with ardent love,
Till wings of faith and strong desire
Bear every thought above.
11 Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,
For Thy bright courts on high;
Then bid our spirits rise and join
The chorus of the sky.

The Promised Land
Alas, What Hourly Dangers Rise!
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9482 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Alas, what hourly dangers rise!
What snares beset my way!
To Heav’n O let me lift my eyes,
And hourly watch and pray.
2 How oft my mournful thoughts complain,
And melt in flowing tears!
My weak resistance, ah, how vain!
How strong my foes and fears!
3 My gracious God, in whom I live,
My feeble efforts aid,
Help me to watch, and pray, and strive,
Though trembling and afraid.
4 Increase my faith, increase my hope,
When foes and fears prevail;
And bear my fainting spirit up;
Or soon my strength will fail.
5 Whene’er temptations fright my heart,
Or lure my feet aside,
My God, Thy powerful aid impart,
My guardian and my guide.
6 O keep me in Thy heavenly way,
And bid the tempter flee,
And let me never, never stray
From happiness and Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: BALLERMA
Alas, What Hourly Dangers Rise!
When I Survey Life's Varied Scene
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9483 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When I survey life’s varied scene Lyrics: 1 When I survey life’s varied scene,
Amid the darkest hours,
Sweet rays of comfort shine between,
And thorns are mixed with flowers.
2 Lord, teach me to adore Thy hand,
From whence my comforts flow,
And let me in this desert land
A glimpse of Canaan know.
3 Is health and ease my happy share?
O may I bless my God;
Thy kindness let my songs declare,
And spread Thy praise abroad.
4 While such delightful gifts as these
Are kindly dealt to me,
Be all my hours of health and ease
Devoted, Lord, to Thee.
5 In griefs and pains Thy sacred Word
(Dear solace of my soul!)
Celestial comforts can afford,
And all their power control.
6 When present sufferings pain my heart,
Or future terrors rise,
And light and hope almost depart,
From these dejected eyes,
7 Thy powerful Word supports my hope,
Sweet cordial of the mind,
And bears my fainting spirit up,
And bids me wait resigned.
8 And, O, whate’er of earthly bliss
Thy sovereign hand denies,
Accepted at Thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise;
9 ‟Give me a calm, a thankful heart,
From every murmur free;
The blessings of Thy grace impart,
And let me live to Thee.
10 Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine,
My path of life attend;
Thy presence through my journey shine,
And bless its happy end." Languages: English Tune Title: NAOMI

Prepare, Ye Saints, To Meet Your Lord
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9492 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Prepare, ye saints, to meet your Lord,
Nor sleep nor slumber more;
Bright be your lamps, your vessels filled
To feed the wasting store.
2 He comes, He comes, may be the cry
In midnight’s deepest gloom;
Should then our lamps be void of oil,
How sad must be our doom?
3 In vain, when ’tis too late, we seek
A fresh supply to get;
In vain, when once the door is shut,
Our folly we regret.
4 Open, Lord, open, we may cry,
But then can’t move His heart;
I know you not, the Judge will say,
Depart from Me, depart.
5 Lord, for Thy coming may I wait
With loins well girt about;
In heavenly virtues may I shine,
Nor let my lamp go out.
6 Then will the Bridegroom me admit,
And own me for His friend;
My soul shall feast on heavenly love,
Nor shall the banquet end. Languages: English Tune Title: DOWNS
Prepare, Ye Saints, To Meet Your Lord
The Time By Heaven Foretold Is Come
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9493 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The time by Heaven foretold is come,
The year of Jubilee;
The day which kings and saints so long
So much desired to see.
2 He’s come, the mighty Savior’s come;
Hear and rejoice, thou earth;
Let every tongue the globe around
Hail the Redeemer’s birth.
3 Glory to God on high be given,
For peace to earth is brought!
Good will to wretched, dying men
Surpassing human thought.
4 See where the royal Infant lies,
In no rich bed of state,
A stable and a manger hold
This mighty Potentate.
5 There ’twas the wondering shepherds found
Their Savior and their king:
There too let us behold Him laid,
And whilst we wonder, sing.
6 The Father’s matchless love we praise,
We sing the Savior’s grace;
In mortal flesh arrayed the Son
Assumes the servant’s place.
7 Not tongues of men, nor angels’ songs
Can His abasement tell;
He dies upon th’accursèd tree
To save our souls from hell.
8 O how shall I such love requite?
My words are all too weak;
Lord, may each action of my life
Thy lasting honors speak.
9 Glory to God on high be given,
For peace to earth is brought!
Good will to wretched, dying men
Surpassing human thought. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. LUKE
The Time By Heaven Foretold Is Come
When Sodom's Rich But Guilty Plains
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9499 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When Sodom’s rich but guilty plains Lyrics: 1 When Sodom’s rich but guilty plains
To wrath divine were doomed,
Abr’am the patriarch interposed
And thus his plea assumed.
2 “Shall good and bad together fall
And undistinguished lie?
Far be this ever from the God
That rules above the sky.
3 "Shall not the judge of all the earth
Whom righteous acts delight;
Shall not the spring whence justice flows
Do ever what is right?"
4 Thus did the holy patriarch plead
When zeal, with pity warm;
And saw with joy just Lot preserved
From the sulfurous storm.
5 Let God in wrath destroy a land,
Or drown in floods a world;
Guilty they were and did deserve
In ruin to be hurled.
6 What tho’ the faint sometimes may smart
Beneath a heavier rod?
He that inflicts the blow is still
A just and righteous God.
7 The ways of Heaven, dark as they seem,
Are not without their light;
The last, that brightest day of truth
Will show that all is right. Languages: English Tune Title: OLD MARTYRS
When Sodom's Rich But Guilty Plains
Why Are Not Sinners, Lord, Consumed?
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9500 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Why are not sinners, Lord, consumed Lyrics: 1 Why are not sinners, Lord, consumed
By Thy avenging rod?
’Tis Lord, because Thou art the good,
And the long suffering God.
2 Tho’ men provoke Thee to Thy face,
And Thy rich grace despise,
Yet still Thy bounty feeds Thy foes,
Thy thunder sleeping lies.
3 On swiftest wing Thy mercy flies,
Thy wrath advances slow;
Long dost Thou whet Thy glittering sword
Before it gives the blow.
4 Long didst Thou bear a guilty world
With rapine filled and blood;
Thy patience wished to have restrained
The wide destroying flood.
5 Could even Sodom the impure
Have named ten righteous men,
Thy flaming sword in sulfur dipped
Would have been sheathed again.
6 How often did Thy anger burn
Against Thy chosen seed?
But still Thy heart within Thee turned
For them Thy bowels plead.
7 How shall I give My Ephraim up?
My wrath on Israel vent?
How shall I Admah’s plagues inflict?
I pity and repent.
8 So great are Thy compassions, Lord,
Our songs they far exceed;
O may such goodness melt our hearts
And to repentance lead! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MARY
Why Are Not Sinners, Lord, Consumed?
Behold, He Comes — The Judge Appears
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9505 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold, He Comes—the Judge appears Lyrics: 1 Behold, He Comes—the Judge appears,
With all His glories crowned:
Behold each nation, tribe and tongue,
The judgment seat surround.
2 View well the righteous, mark the joy
O’er every feature spread;
But Oh! what pale affrighted looks,
Bespeak the sinner’s dread.
3 Now truth appears, no envious cloud
Can hide her radiant face;
Now names and forms, and borrowed masks
No more shall find a place.
4 As from his sheep the shepherd parts
The goats at even-tide,
So from the good, the righteous Judge
The wicked shall divide.
5 Ranged on the right, the pious race,
Shall their glad sentence hear;
Whilst on the left, th’ungodly world
Too late their doom shall fear.
6 Among the saints, at Christ’s right hand,
May I, Lord, find a place;
Enrolled among the heirs of God,
The firstborn sons of grace.
7 Then shall I all enraptured hear
The Judge pronounce me blest;
And share the kingdom long prepared
That sweet and endless rest. Languages: English Tune Title: CLAUDIUS
Behold, He Comes — The Judge Appears
'Tis Nature's Voice Which Reason Speaks
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9506 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: ’Tis nature’s voice which reason speaks Lyrics: 1 ’Tis nature’s voice which reason speaks,
Know, man, there is a God;
That great first cause who made the world,
And rules it by His nod.
2 The mighty truth unshaken stands,
And scorns the atheist’s school;
His boasted sense and wit but prove
He is the learnèd fool.
3 Far as with backward steps we trace
Great nature’s wondrous clue,
We must at length stop at some cause
Which no beginning knew.
4 This cause eternal we maintain,
And this the God we name;
Of all perfection full possessed,
Invariably the same.
5 A God, the wiser nations own,
Barbarians too consent;
Convinced by nature’s wondrous frame,
That mighty argument.
6 The God, the present God we see,
Where’er we turn our eyes;
In fairest lines His name is wrote
On earth, and seas, and skies.
7 Almighty God! I Thee adore,
Great author of my frame;
Long as I live my tongue shall sing
The glories of Thy name. Languages: English Tune Title: FAR AND NEAR
