For his sake, whose blood I plead, Hear me in my hour of need; Only hide not now thy face, God of all-sufficient grace! 2 Leave me not, my strength, my trust; Oh, remember I am dust: Leave me not again to stray; Leave me not the tempter's prey: Fix my heart on things above; Make me happy in thy love. 3 Hear and save me, gracious Lord! For my trust is in thy word; Wash me from the stain of sin, That thy peace may rule within: May I know myself thy child, Ransomed, pardoned, reconciled. Used With Tune: REDHEAD

Till he come! O let the words

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 259 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Till he come! O let the words Linger on the trembling chords; Let the little while between In their golden light be seen; Let us think how heav'n and home Lie beyond that "Till he come." 2 When the weary ones we love Enter on their rest above, Seems the earth so poor and vast, All our life-joy overcast? Hush, be every murmur dumb: It is only till he come. 3 Clouds and conflicts round us press: Would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is loss, Death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper "Till he come." 4 See, the feast of love is spread, Drink the wine, and break the bread: Sweet memorials,--till the Lord Call us round his heav'nly board; Some from earth, from glory some, Severed only till he come. Amen. Topics: The Church The Lord's Supper; Heaven Anticipated Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:26 Used With Tune: AJALON (REDHEAD NO. 76)

Earth to earth and dust to dust

Author: Anon. Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Earth to earth and dust to dust, Lord, we own the sentence just; Head and tongue, and hand and heart, All in guilt have borne their part; Righteous is the common doom, All must moulder in the tomb. 2 Like the seed in spring-time sown, Like the leaves in autumn strown, Low these goodly frames shall lie, All our pomp and glory die; Soon the spoiler seeks his prey, Soon he bears us all away. 3 Yet the seed, upraised, again Clothes with green the smiling plain; Onward as the seasons move, Leaves and blossoms deck the grove; And shall we forgotten lie, Lost forever when we die? 4 Lord, from nature's gloomy night Turn we to the gospel's light; Thou didst triumph o'er the grave, Thou wilt all thy people save; Ransomed by thy blood they rise, Mounting victors to the skies.

To Avert from Us God's Wrath

Author: Martin Luther; Christian Ignatius Latrobe; Dirk French Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To avert from men God’s wrath, Jesus suffered in our stead; by an ignominious death he a full atonement made; and by his most precious blood brought us, sinners, nigh to God. 2 Christ bids each afflicted soul "Come that I may soothe your grief. No one who is strong and whole needs a doctor for relief; therefore have no fear, draw nigh, that your want I may supply." 3 But examine first your case, whether you be in the faith; do you long for pard’ning grace? Is your only hope his death? Then, how e’er your soul’s oppressed, Come, you are a worthy guest. 4 They who Jesus’ mercy knows are from wrath and envy freed; love unto our neighbor shows that we are his flock indeed; thus we may in all our ways show forth our Redeemer’s praise.

Pain and Toil are Over Now

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Pain and toil are over now; Bring the spice and being the myrrh; Fold the limb and bind the brow In the rich man's sepulchre; Far within the garden gloom, Leave him in his new-made tomb. 2. Sin has bruised the Victor's heel; Roll the stone and guard it well; Bring the Roman's dreaded seal; Bring his staunchest sentinel; Death and Hell shall hold their prey Only till tomorrow's ray. 3. Doubt ye how corruption cold Has not pow'r to chain its God, How the chill grave cannot hold Him beneath its silent sod, Prest with heavy measured tread? Thus you watch the buried dead. 4. We, till breaks the morning light, With an earnest purpose come, Watching all this solemn night By our Savior’s lowly tomb, Thinking we are buried too; We must live with him anew. 5. In the fresh baptismal tide, When our early walk was dim, When our evil nature died, We were buried deep with him; We must live like souls new-born, Eager for a brighter morn.
