The Holy Spirit

Author: Frederick Faber Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Come, Holy Spirit! from the height Used With Tune: MERIBAH

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Thou God of glorious majesty, To Thee, against myself, to Thee, A worm of earth, I cry; A half-awakened child of man; An heir of endless bliss or pain; A sinner born to die! 2. Lo! on a narrow neck of land, ’Twixt two unbounded seas I stand, Secure, insensible; A point of time, a moment’s space, Removes me to that heavenly place, Or shuts me up in hell. 3. O God, mine inmost soul convert! And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress: Give me to feel their solemn weight, And tremble on the brink of fate, And wake to righteousness. 4. Before me place, in dread array, The pomp of that tremendous day, When Thou with clouds shalt come, To judge the nations at Thy bar; And tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom? 5. Be this my one great business here, With serious industry and fear Eternal bliss to ensure; Thine utmost counsel to fulfill, And suffer all Thy righteous will, And to the end endure. 6. Then, Savior, then my soul receive, Transported from this vale to live And reign with Thee above; Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope in full supreme delight, And everlasting love.

How great the goodness kept in store

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How great the goodness kept in store For those who fear thee and adore In meek humility. How great the deeds with mercy fraught Which openly thy hand has wrought For those who trust in thee. 2 Secured by thine unfailing grace, In thee they find a hiding-place When foes their plots devise; A sure retreat thou wilt prepare, And keep them safely sheltered there, When strife of tongues shall rise. 3 Blest be the Lord, for he has showed, While giving me a safe abode, His love beyond compare; Although his face he seemed to hide, He ever heard me when I cried, And made my wants his care. 4 Ye saints, Jehovah love and serve, For he the faithful will preserve, And shield from men of pride; Be strong, and let your hearts be brave, All ye that wait for him to save, In God the Lord confide. Amen. Topics: Christian Life Trust in God; God Refuge; Grace Fulness of Scripture: Psalm 31:19-24 Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Lord, God Of Hosts, Who Dost Fulfill

Author: James Holme Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lord, God of Hosts, who dost fulfill Lyrics: 1 Lord, God of Hosts, who dost fulfill In Heav’n and earth Thy sovereign will, For Heav’n and earth are Thine, The councils of our nation bless With wisdom, truth, and holiness, With light and love divine. 2 Whate’er they seek, whate’er decree, O may they lift their hearts to Thee, For Thine almighty aid. Free them from sin’s corrupting sway, Teach them to show the heav’nward way Where humbler men may tread. 3 Be it their cherished, fixed design To make Thy grace, Thy glory shine, And ground our laws in Thee. Thy Church from error to defend, Until its light to Heav’n ascend, And spread from sea to sea. 4 When Thou in terror risest forth To sweep the wicked from the earth With dread resistless stroke, Our nation shield with sheltering arm, Her tower of refuge from the storm, Her everlasting rock.

The Lord Into His Garden Came

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 240 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord into His garden came The spices yield a rich perfume, The lilies grow and thrive: Refreshing showers of grace divine, From Jesus flow to every vine, And make the dead revive. 2 O that this dry and barren ground In springs of water may abound, A fruitful soil become. The desert blossom as the rose, When Jesus conquers all His foes, And makes His people one. 3 The glorious time is rolling on, The gracious work is now begun; My soul a witness is, I taste and see the pardon free, For all mankind, as well as me, Who comes to Christ may live. 4 The worst of sinners here may find A Savior pitiful and kind: Who will them all receive. None are too late who will repent; Out of one sinner legions went, The Lord did him relieve. 5 Come brethren, you that love the Lord, And taste the sweetness of His word; In Jesu’s way go on, Our troubles and our trials here, Will only make us richer there, When we arrive at home. 6 I feel that Heaven is now begun, It issues from the sparkling throne; From Jesu’s throne on high It comes like floods, we can’t contain, We drink, and drink, and drink again; And yet we still are dry. 7 But when we come to reign above, And all surround a throne of love, We’ll drink a full supply. Jesus will lead His armies through, To living fountains where they flow, That never will run dry. 8 ’Tis there we’ll reign, and shout, and sing, And make the upper regions ring; When all the saints get home. Come on, come on! my brethren dear, Soon we shall meet together there: For Jesus bids us come. 9 Amen! amen! my soul replies, I’m bound to meet you in the skies, And claim my mansions sure. Now here’s my heart, and here’s my hand, To meet you in the heavenly land, Where we shall part no more. Used With Tune: MERIBAH Text Sources: The Christian's Duty (Germantown, PA: Peter Leibert, 1801)
