To Praise The Ever Bounteous Lord
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9511 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 To praise the ever bounteous Lord,
My soul, wake all thy powers;
He calls, and at His voice come forth
The smiling harvest hours.
2 His covenant with the earth He keeps;
My tongue His goodness sing:
Summer and winter know their time,
His harvest crowns the spring.
3 Well pleased the toiling swains behold
The waving yellow crop:
With joy they bear the sheaves away,
And sow again in hope.
4 Thus teach me, gracious God, to sow
The seeds of righteousness:
Smile on my soul, and with Thy beams
The ripening harvest bless.
5 Then in the last great harvest I
Shall reap a glorious crop:
The harvest shall by far exceed
What I have sowed in hope. Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN
To Praise The Ever Bounteous Lord
No Rod Of Vengeance Jesus Takes
Author: John Needham Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9512 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 No rod of vengeance Jesus takes
Like that which Moses bore;
His peaceful scepter shows He came
To save and to restore.
2 Laden with woes the sons of men
To this Physician fly:
He lends an ear to their complaints
And looks with pitying eye.
3 The powerful word He speaks, and lo!
The eyes long closed in night
Lift up their lids, with sweet surprise,
To hail the joyous light.
4 New life the withered cripple feels
Diffused through every part:
His couch and crutch he now forgets,
And leaps like any hart.
A word the deaf restores; the dumb
With ease their tongues employ;
Amazed, and pleased at their own voice,
They sing and shout for joy.
5 Beholdat once the lepers cleansed,
Touched by the Savior’s hand:
Palsy, and fever, and each plague
Depart at His command.
6 The winds and waves, midst all their rage,
His powerful voice obey:
Devils His awful presence flee,
Nor dare they longer stay.
7 Repeat my soul, these wondrous acts,
And all His honors spread:
Tell how His voice unbarred the tomb,
And waked the silent dead.
8 Jesus, my Savior and my Lord,
How bright Thy glories shine!
Thy works all praise exceed, and speak
Thy character divine. Languages: English Tune Title: EVERSLEY

How Long Shall Earth's Alluring Toys
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9514 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: How long shall earth’s alluring toys Lyrics: 1 How long shall earth’s alluring toys
Detain our hearts and eyes;
Regardless of immortal joys,
And strangers to the skies.
2 These transient scenes will soon decay,
They fade upon the sight;
And quickly will their brightest day
Be lost in endless night.
3 Their brightest day, alas, how vain!
With conscious sights we own;
While clouds of sorrow, care and pain,
O’ershade the smiling noon.
4 O could our thought and wishes fly,
Above these gloomy shades,
To those bright worlds beyond the sky
Which sorrow ne’er invades.
5 There joys unseen by mortal eyes,
Or reason’s feeble ray,
In ever blooming prospect rise,
Unconscious of decay.
6 Lord, send a beam of light divine,
To guide our upward aim;
With one reviving touch of Thine,
Our languid hearts inflame.
7 Then shall on faith’s sublimest wing
Our ardent wishes rise
To those bright scenes, where pleasures spring
Immortal in the skies. Languages: English Tune Title: BURLINGTON

Life Is A Span, A Fleeting Hour
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9515 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Life is a span, a fleeting hour,
How soon the vapor flies!
Man is a tender, transient flower,
That e’en in blooming dies!
2 Death spreads like winter’s frozen arms,
And beauty smiles no more;
Ah! where are now those rising charms
Which pleased our eyes before?
3 The once loved form, now cold and dead,
Each mournful thought employs;
And nature weeps, her comforts fled,
And withered all her joys.
4 But wait the interposing gloom
And lo, winter flies!
And dressed in beauty’s fairest bloom
The flowery tribes arise.
5 Hope looks beyond the bounds of time;
When what we now deplore,
Shall rise in full immortal prime,
And bloom to fade no more.
6 Then cease, fond nature, cease thy tears,
Religion points on high;
There everlasting spring appears,
And joys that cannot die. Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO
Life Is A Span, A Fleeting Hour
See, Gracious God, Before Thy Throne
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9516 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 See, gracious God, before Thy throne
Thy mourning people bend!
’Tis on Thy sovereign grace alone,
Our humble hopes depend.
2 Tremendous judgments from Thy hand,
Thy dreadful power display:
Yet mercy spares this guilty land,
And yet we live to pray.
3 Great God, and why this nation spare,
Ungrateful as we are?
O be these awful warnings heard,
While mercy cries, Forebear.
4 What numerous crimes increasing rise,
Where Satan shows his smile?
What land so favored of the skies,
And yet what land so vile?
5 How changed, alas! are truths divine,
For error, guilt and shame!
What impious numbers, bold in sin,
Disgrace the Christian name!
6 O bid us turn, almighty Lord,
By Thy resistless grace;
Then shall our hearts obey Thy word,
And humble seek Thy face.
7 Then should insulting foes invade,
We shall not sink in fear;
Secure of never failing aid,
If God, our God, is near. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR
See, Gracious God, Before Thy Throne
Come, Lord, And Warm Each Languid Heart
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9519 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and warm each languid heart,
Inspire each lifeless tongue;
And let the joys of Heaven impart
Their influence to our song.
2 Then to the shining seats of bliss
The wings of faith shall soar,
And all the charms of paradise
Our raptured thoughts explore.
3 Pleasures unsullied flourish there
Beyond the reach of time;
Not blooming Eden smiled so fair,
In all her flowery prime.
4 No sun shall gild the blest abode
With his meridian ray,
The more radiant throne of God
Diffuse eternal day.
5 Sorrow, and pain, and every care,
And discord there shall cease,
And perfect joy and love sincere
Adorn the reams of peace.
6 The soul, from sin for ever free,
Shall mourn its power no more,
But clothed in spotless purity,
Redeeming love adore.
7 There on a throne—how dazzling bright—
The exalted Savior shines;
And beams ineffable delight
On all the heavenly minds.
8 There shall the followers of the Lamb
Join in immortal songs;
And endless honors to His name
Employ their tuneful tongues.
9 While sweet reflection calls to mind
The scenes of mortal care,
When God, their God, for ever kind,
Was present to their prayer;
10 How will the wonders of His grace
In their full luster shine?
His wisdom, power and faithfulness
All glorious! all divine!
11 The Savior, dying, rising crowned,
Shall swell the lofty strains,
Seraph and saint His praise resound,
Through all the ethereal plains.
12 But oh! their transports, oh! their songs,
What mortal thought can paint?
Transcendent glory awes our tongues,
And all our notes are faint.
13 Lord, tune our hearts to praise and love,
Our feeble notes inspire;
Till in Thy blissful courts above,
We join the heavenly choir. Languages: English Tune Title: COLCHESTER
Come, Lord, And Warm Each Languid Heart
Behold Thy Waiting Servant, Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9524 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Behold Thy waiting servant, Lord Lyrics: 1 Behold Thy waiting servant, Lord,
Devoted to Thy fear;
Remember and confirm Thy word,
For all my hopes are there.
2 Hast Thou not writ salvation down,
And promised quickening grace?
Doth not my heart address Thy throne?
And yet Thy love delays.
3 Mine eyes for Thy salvation fail;
O bear Thy servant up!
Nor let the scoffing lips prevail
Who dare reproach my hope.
4 Didst Thou not raise my faith, O Lord?
Then let Thy truth appear:
Saints shall rejoice in my reward,
And trust as well as fear. Languages: English Tune Title: RICHMOND
Behold Thy Waiting Servant, Lord
Lord, When My Raptured Thought Surveys
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9534 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord, when my raptured thought surveys
Creation’s beauties o’er,
All nature joins to teach Thy praise,
And bid my soul adore.
2 Whene’er I turn my gazing eyes,
Thy radiant footsteps shine;
Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise,
And speak their source divine.
3 The living tribe of countless forms,
In earth and sea and air;
The meanest flies, the smallest worms,
Almighty power declare.
4 All rose to life at Thy command,
And wait their daily food
From Thy paternal, bounteous hand,
Exhaustless spring of good!
5 The meads, arrayed in smiling green,
With wholesome herbage crowned;
The fields with corn, a richer scene,
Spread Thy full bounties round,
6 The fruitful tree, the blooming flower,
In varied charms appear;
Their varied charms display Thy power,
Thy goodness all declare.
7 The sun’s productive quickening beams
The growing verdure spread;
Refreshing rains and cooling streams
His gentle influence aid.
8 The moon and stars his absent light
Supply with borrowed rays,
And deck the sable veil of night,
And speak their Maker’s praise.
9 Thy wisdom, power and goodness, Lord,
In all Thy works appear;
And O let man Thy praise record;
Man, Thy distinguished care.
10 From Thee the breath of life he drew;
That breath Thy power maintains;
Thy tender mercy ever new,
His brittle frame sustains.
11 Yet nobler favors claim his praise,
Of reason’s light possessed;
By revelation’s brighter rays
Still more divinely blest.
12 Thy providence, his constant guard
When threatening woes impend,
Or will th’ impending dangers ward,
Or timely succors lend.
13 On me that providence has shone
With gentle smiling rays;
O let my lips and life make known
Thy goodness, and Thy praise.
14 All bounteous Lord, Thy grace impart;
O teach me to improve
Thy gifts with ever grateful heart,
And crown them with Thy love. Languages: English Tune Title: ABERDEEN

The Long Expected Hour Draws Near
Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9538 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The long expected hour draws near,
The dawning is begun;
And night’s dark shadows disappear
Before the rising Sun.
2 A king is born, whose righteous sway
Shall stretch through every land:
Ye mountains bend, ye rocks give way,
And own your maker’s hand.
3 The heavenly hosts with warm delight
Their joyful praise express;
And shall not earth her voice unite,
A Savior’s name to bless?
4 Glory to God on high, they sing,
Let peace on earth prevail;
Good will to man its blessings bring,
And joys that never fail.
5 Lord, let our faith and love increase,
Our lips Thy praises tell;
And let Thy presence and Thy peace
In every bosom dwell. Languages: English Tune Title: MORNA

When Threatening Enemies Assail
Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9540 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When threatening enemies assail,
I seek Thy help, O Lord;
And though they say my hope must fail,
I trust Thy faithful word.
2 Oft hast Thou heard my plaintive cry
Out of Thy holy hill;
I cannot doubt but Thou art nigh,
And wilt protect me still.
3 I laid me down and slept; Thy hand
Preserved me through the night;
Thankful I own, ’tis Thy command
Restores the cheerful light.
4 I will not fear ten thousand foes;
They cannot injure me:
Safe in Thy blessing, I repose
My confidence in Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: CLAUDIUS
