See What A Living Stone
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 138 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See what a living stone
The builders did refuse;
Yet God hath built His church thereon,
In spite of envious Jews.
The scribe and angry priest
Reject Thine only Son;
Yet on this Rock shall Sion rest,
As the chief cornerstone.
2 The work, O Lord, is Thine,
And wondrous in our eyes;
This day declares it all divine,
This day did Jesus rise.
This is our glorious day
That our Redeemer made;
Let us rejoice, and sing, and pray,
Let all the church be glad.
3 Hosanna to the King
Of David’s royal blood;
Bless Him, ye saints, He comes to bring
Salvation from your God.
We bless Thine holy Word,
Which all this grace displays;
And offer on Thine altar, Lord,
Our sacrifice of praise. Used With Tune: ACCRA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

And Am I Born to Die
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 205 hymnals First Line: And am I born to die? Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
A land of deepest shade,
unpierced by human thought,
The dreary regions of the dead,
Where all things are forgot?
2 Soon as from earth I go,
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be:
Waked by the trumpet’s sound,
I from my grave shall rise,
And see the Judge, with glory crowned,
And see the flaming skies!
3 Who can resolve the doubt
That tears my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damned cast out,
or numbered with the blest?
I must from God be driven,
Or with my Saviour dwell:
Must come at His command to heaven,
Or else depart to hell?
4 O, Those who wouldst not have
One wretched sinner die:
Who didst Thyself my soul to save
From endless misery
Show me the way to shun
Thy dreadful wrath severe;
That when Thou comest on Thy throne
I may with joy repent.
Amen.

Exalt the Lord Our God
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 115 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Exalt the Lord our God,
And worship at His feet;
His nature is all holiness,
And mercy is His seat.
2. When Israel was His church,
When Aaron was His priest,
When Moses cried, when Samuel prayed,
He gave His people rest.
3. Oft He forgave their sins,
Nor would destroy their race;
And oft He made His vengeance known,
When they abused His grace.
4. Exalt the Lord our God,
Whose grace is still the same;
Still He’s a God of holiness,
And jealous for His name. Used With Tune: ACCRA Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Now Rest, Ye Pilgrim Host
Author: Rossiter Worthington Raymond Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now rest, ye pilgrim host,
Look back upon your way,
The mountains climbed, the torrents crossed,
Through many a weary day.
From this victorious height,
How fair the past appears,
God's grace and glory shining bright
On all the bygone years.
2 How many, at His call,
Have parted from our throng!
They watch us from the crystal wall,
And echo back our song.
They rest, beyond complaints,
Beyond all sighs and tears:
Praise be to God for all His saints
Who wrought in bygone years.
3 The banners they upbore
Our hands still lift on high;
The Lord they followed evermore
To us is also nigh.
Arise, arise, and tread
The future without fears;
He leadeth still Whose hand hath led
Through all the bygone years.
4 When we have reached the home
We seek with weary feet,
Our children's children still shall come
To keep these ranks complete;
And He Whose host is one
Throughout the countless spheres
Will guide His marching servants on
Through everlasting years.
Amen. Topics: Occasional Anniversary; Anniversaries Used With Tune: CHALVEY

Come Forth, O Christian Youth
Author: Mary E. Jackson Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come forth, O Christian youth,
A task before us lies;
The world awaits the strength and zeal
Which youthful heart supplies.
We seek to win mankind
To choose Christ's nobler way,
And usher in true brotherhood
For every man today.
2 Stand firm, O Christian youth,
With trust in God alone,
That we may live our Christian faith
And make Christ truly known.
Be ours to show all men
The path His feet have trod,
To make all life a sacrament
And holy unto God.
3 Grow strong, O Christian youth,
Be loyal, brave, and true,
And strive with courage for the right
In what we say and do.
Thus may our words and deeds
Be worthy in God's sight,
And manifest to all mankind
His way of truth and light.
4 Give all, O Christian youth,
And nought from Christ withhold;
His Kingdom claims us for its own;
His Spirit keeps us bold!
As pilgrims in the world
Yet followers of the Way,
God make us faithful citizens
Till His eternal day.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Used With Tune: MONTGOMERY

How Blest The Righteous Are
Author: John Newton Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blest the righteous are
When they resign their breath!
No wonder Balaam wished to share
In such a happy death.
"Oh! let me die," said he,
"The death the righteous do;
When life is ended let me be
Found with the faithful few."
2 The force of truth how great!
When enemies confess,
None but the righteous whom they hate,
A solid hope possess.
But Balaam’s wish was vain,
His heart was insincere;
He thirsted for unrighteous gain,
And sought a portion here.
3 He seemed the Lord to know,
And to offend Him loth;
But Mammon proved his overthrow,
For none can serve them both.
May you, my friends, and I,
Warning from hence receive ;
If like the righteous we would die,
To choose the life they live. Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1

upon His name now call.
Make known among the people on earth
what He has done for all.
Sing praise to Him, now sing;
His wondrous acts proclaim.
Rejoice, all you who seek the Lord;
come glory in His name.
2. Look to the Lord’s great strength;
remember all His deeds.
His judgments are in all of the earth;
He is the Lord indeed.
His covenant e’er will stand;
His oath He’ll ne’er forget.
A thousand generations pass;
God’s word continues yet.
3. Sing to the Lord, all earth;
His saving power proclaim.
Declare His glory to every race;
His marvelous deeds now name.
For great is God the Lord,
most worthy of all praise.
He made the heavens and the earth;
fear Him and give Him praise.

before the Lord are found.
Both strength and joy with Him do dwell;
bring offerings, come bow down.
Ascribe unto the Lord
the glory due His name;
The splendor of His holiness
now worship and proclaim.
5. Let now the heav’ns rejoice;
let earth give glad refrain.
The world is ’stablished,
ne’er to be moved;
tell everyone God reigns!
Now let the sea resound,
be jubilant all fields;
The forest trees will sing for joy;
earth’s judge is now revealed.
6. Give thanks to God the Lord;
His goodness now declare.
He saves, delivers from every foe;
His love endures fore’er.
Give thanks unto His name
and glory in His praise;
Praise to the God of Israel
for everlasting days. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
