'Twas by an order from the Lord
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 150 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Twas by an order from the Lord
The ancient prophets spoke his word;
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warmed their hearts with heavenly fire.
2 Great God, mine eyes with pleasure look
On the dear volume of thy book;
There my Redeemer's face I see,
And read his name who died for me.
3 Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost, and vanish in the wind;
Here I can fix my hope secure;
This is thy word, and must endure. Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Used With Tune: HAMBURG
'Twas by an order from the Lord
The starry firmament on high
Author: Robert Grant Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The starry firmament on high,
And all the glories of the sky,
Yet shine not to thy praise, O Lord,
So brightly as thy written word.
2 The hopes that holy word supplies,
Its truths divine and precepts wise,
In each a heavenly beam I see,
And every beam conducts to thee.
3 Almighty Lord, the sun shall fail,
The moon her borrowed glory veil,
And deepest reverence hush on high
The joyful chorus of the sky.
4 But fixed for everlasting years,
Unmoved amid the wreck of spheres,
Thy word shall shine in cloudless day,
When heaven and earth have passed away. Topics: Worship Holy Scriptures Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Forgive us, Lord! to thee we cry
Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forgive us, Lord! to thee we cry;
Forgive us thro' thy matchless grace,
On thee alone our souls rely;
Be thou our strength and righteousness.
2 Forgive thou us, as we forgive
The ills we suffer from our foes;
Restore us, Lord, and bid us live;
O! let us in thine arms repose.
3 Forgive us, for our guilt is great,
Our wretched souls no merit claim;
For sovereign mercy still we wait,
And ask but in the Saviour's name. Topics: The Sinner Repentance and Acceptance Used With Tune: HAMBURG

The Glory of These Forty Days
Author: Gregory the Great, c.540-604; Maurice F. Bell, 1862-1947 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The glory of these forty days
We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, through whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God who gave the law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lions' might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah's name.
4 Then grant, O God, that we may, too,
Return in fast and prayer to You.
Our spirits strengthen with Your grace,
And give us joy to see Your face. Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Ash Wednesday and Lent; Christian Year Lent Scripture: Exodus 19:20 Used With Tune: HAMBURG
The Glory of These Forty Days
To Us A Child Is Born From Heav'n
Author: Charles E. De Coetlogon, 1746-1820 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: To us a child is born from Heav’n Lyrics: 1 To us a child is born from Heav’n;
To us the Son of God is giv’n;
So Judah’s ancient prophet sings,
And Gentiles hail the news he brings.
2 Gentiles in Jesu’s name shall trust,
And of His glories make their boast;
The government of worlds He made
Upon His shoulders shall be laid.
3 His name the Wonderful shall be;
His wonders Heav’n and earth shall see:
The Counselor of truth and grace,
Who leads in paths of righteousness.
4 The mighty God, that glorious name,
His works and Word join to proclaim:
The everlasting Father, He—
And the whole church His family.
5 The Prince of Peace, on David’s throne
And nations yet unborn shall own
His sovereign and His gracious sway;
Glad of the honor to obey.
6 Justice and judgment He’ll maintain—
To everlasting ages reign:
And His blest empire shall increase,
’Till time, with all its movements, cease.
7 Our faith in grateful triumph boasts
These wonders of the Lord of Hosts:
And trusts the zeal that formed the plan
To perfect what that zeal began.
