Thou shalt arise, and mercy yet
Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 13 Thou shalt arise, and mercy yet
thou to mount Zion shalt extend:
the time is come for favour set,
the time when thou shalt blessing send.
14 Thy saints take pleasure in her stones,
her very dust to them is dear.
15 All heathen lands and kingly thrones
on earth thy glorious name shall fear.
16 For God in glory shall appear,
to build up Zion and repair.
17 He shall regard and lend his ear
unto the needy’s humble prayer:
the afflicted’s prayer he will not scorn.
18 All times shall this be on record:
and generations yet unborn
shall praise and magnify the Lord.
19 He from his holy place looked down,
the earth he viewed from heaven on high;
20 to hear the prisoner’s mourning groan,
and free them that are doomed to die;
21 that Zion, and Jerusalem too,
his name and praise may well record,
22 when people and the kingdoms do
assemble all to praise the Lord.

Now Let Us Join with Hearts and Tongues
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Now let us join with hearts and tongues,
And emulate the angels’ songs;
Yea, sinners may address their King
In songs that angels cannot sing.
2. They praise the Lamb who once was slain,
But we can add a higher strain;
Not only say, He suffered thus,
But that He suffered all for us.
3. When angels by transgression fell,
Justice consigned them all to hell;
But mercy formed a wondrous plan,
To save and honor fallen man.
4. Jesus, who passed the angels by,
Assumed our flesh to bleed and die;
And still He makes it His abode,
As man, He fills the throne of God.
5. Our next of kin, our brother now,
Is He to whom the angels bow;
They join with us to praise His name,
But we the nearest interest claim.
6. But ah! how faint our praises rise!
Sure, ’tis the wonder of the skies;
That we, who share His richest love,
So cold and unconcerned should prove.
7. O glorious hour, it comes with speed
When we from sin and darkness freed,
Shall see the God who died for man,
And praise Him more than angels can. Used With Tune: MAINZER Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 39
Now Let Us Join with Hearts and Tongues
When, doom'd to death, the Apostle lay
Author: W. C. Bryant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When, doomed to death, th'Apostle lay
At night in Herod's dungeon cell,
A light shone round him like the day,
And from his limbs the fetters fell.
2 A messenger from God was there,
To break his chain and bid him rise;
And lo! the saint, as free as air,
Walked forth beneath the open skies.
3 Chains yet more strong and cruel bind
The victim of that deadly thirst
Which drowns the soul, and from the mind
Blots the bright image stamped at first.
4 O God of love and mercy, deign
To look on those with pitying eye
Who struggle with that fatal chain,
And send them succor from on high!
5 Send down, in its resistless might,
Thy gracious Spirit, we implore,
And lead the captive forth to light,
A rescued soul, a slave no more!
Amen.

When, doom'd to death, the Apostle lay
From Heav'n the Sinning Angels Fell
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1. From Heav’n the sinning angels fell,
And wrath and darkness chained them down;
But man, vile man, forsook his bliss,
And mercy lifts him to a crown.
2. Amazing work of sovereign grace
That could distinguish rebels so!
Our guilty treasons called aloud
For everlasting fetters, too.
3. To Thee, to Thee, Almighty Love,
Our souls, ourselves, our all we pay:
Millions of tongues shall sound Thy praise
On the bright hills of heav’nly day. Used With Tune: MAINZER Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-9, Book II, number 97

We Pray For Those Who Do Not Pray
Author: C. Newman Hall Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: We pray for those who do not pray! Lyrics: 1 We pray for those who do not pray!
Who waste, O Lord, salvation’s day;
For those we love who love not Thee—
Our grief, their danger, pitying see.
2 Those for whom many tears are shed,
And blessings breathed upon their head;
The children of Thy people save,
From godless life and hopeless grave.
3 Hear fathers, mothers, as they pray
For sons, for daughters far away—
Brother for brother, friend for friend—
Hear all our prayers that upwards blend.
4 We pray for those who long have heard,
But still neglect Thy gracious Word;
Soften the hearts obdurate made
By calls unheeded, vows delayed.
5 Release the drunkard from his chain,
Save those beguiled by pleasure vain,
Set free the slaves of lust, and bring
Back to their home the wandering.
6 The hopeless cheer; guide those who doubt;
Restore the lost; cast no one out;
For all that are far off we pray,
Since we were once far off as they. Used With Tune: MAINZER Text Sources: The Song Victor, by R. A. Glenn (Cincinnait: F. W. Helmick, 1878)

Triumphant Lord, Thy work is done
Author: W. J. Irons Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Triumphant Lord, Thy work is done,
Thy toil is o'er, Thy victory won:
Oh, aid Thy servants in the strife,
Help us to win the crown of life!
2 Presenting Thine own sacrifice,
Our prayers like incense round Thee rise;
For "Thou art Priest forever," Thou
Art interceding for us now.
3 Oh, by Thy spotless wondrous birth,
And by Thy bitter death on earth,
And by Thy rising from the grave,
Ascended Lord, Thy people save!
4 "Thou art the King of glory," Thine
All honor, praise, and power divine;
One with the Father now confest,
And with the Spirit ever blest.
Amen.
