To Calvary, Lord, in Spirit Now

Author: Edward Denny Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To Calvary, Lord, in spirit now, Our weary souls repair, To dwell upon Thy dying love, And taste its sweetness there. 2. Sweet resting place of every heart, That feels the plague of sin, Yet knows that deep mysterious joy, The peace with God, within. 3. There, through Thine hour of deepest woe, Thy suffering spirit passed; Grace there its wondrous victory gained, And love endured its last. 4. Dear suffering Lamb! Thy bleeding wounds, With cords of love divine, Have drawn our willing hearts to Thee, And linked our life with Thine. 5. Thy sympathies and hopes are ours: Dear Lord! we wait to see Creation, all below, above, Redeemed and blest by Thee. 6. Our longing eyes would fain behold That bright and blessèd brow, Once wrung with bitterest anguish, wear Its crown of glory now. 7. Why linger then? Come, Savior, come, Responsive to our call; Come, claim Thine ancient power, and reign The Heir and Lord of all. Used With Tune: BURFORD

O Jesu Christ, if Aught There Be

Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Jesu Christ, if aught there be That, more than all beside, In ever painful memory Must in my heart abide, 2. It is that deep ingratitude Which I to Thee have shown, Who didst for me in tears and blood Upon the cross atone. 3. Alas, how with my actions all Has this defect entwined; How has it poisoned with its gall My spirit, heart and mind! 4. Alas, through this, how many a gem I’ve rudely cast away, That might have formed my diadem In everlasting day! 5. Yet though the time be past and gone, Though little more remains: Though naught is all that can be done, E’en with my utmost pains; 6. Still will I strive, O Savior mine, To do what in me lies; For never did Thy glance divine A contrite heart despise.

Unto the voice of my complaint

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Unto the voice of my complaint, O God, give thou an ear; my life save from the enemy, of whom I stand in fear. 2 Me from their secret counsel hide who evil-doers be; from noisy tumult of the men that work iniquity: 3 Who do their tongues with malice whet, and make them cut like swords; in whose bend bows are arrows set, even sharp and bitter words: 4 That they may at the perfect man in secret aim their shot: yea, suddenly they dare at him to shoot, and fear it not. 5 In ill encourage they themselves, and close their snares do lay: together conference they have; Who shall them see? they say. 6 They have searched out iniquities, a perfect search they keep: of each of them the inward thought, and heart, is very deep. 7 God shall an arrow shoot at them, and wound them suddenly: 8 so their own tongue shall them confound; all who them see shall fly. 9 And on all men a fear shall fall, God's works they shall declare; for they shall wisely notice take what these his doings are. 10 The righteous in the Lord shall joy, and in him trust he shall; and they that upright are in heart shall greatly glory all.

See, when a black o’erspreading cloud

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See, when a black o’erspreading cloud [Originally, When a black overspreading cloud] Has darkened all the air; And peals of thunder roaring loud Proclaim the tempest near. 2 Then guilt and fear, the fruits of sin, The sinner oft pursue; A louder storm is heard within, And conscience thunders too. 3 The law a fiery language speaks, His danger he perceives; Like Satan, who his ruin seeks, He trembles and believes. 4 But when the sky serene appears, And thunders roll no more; He soon forgets his vows and fears, Just as he did before. 5 But whither shall the sinner flee, When nature’s mighty frame, The ponderous earth, and air, and sea, Shall all dissolve in flame? 6 Amazing day! it comes apace! The Judge is hasting down! Will sinners bear to see His face, Or stand before His frown? 7 Lord, let Thy mercy find a way To touch each stubborn heart That they may never hear Thee say, "Ye cursed ones, depart." 8 Believers, you may well rejoice! The thunder’s loudest strains Should be to you a welcome voice, That tells you, "JESUS REIGNS!" Used With Tune: BURFORD Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 2, alt.
