O'er those gloomy hills of darkness

Author: William Williams Meter: 8.7 Appears in 413 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O'er those gloomy hills of darkness Look, my soul, be still and gaze: All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace. Blessed Jubilee, Let thy glorious morning down. 2 Let the Indian, let the Negro, Let the rude Barbarian see That divine and glorious conquest, Once obtained on Calvary; Let the Gospel Wide resound from pole to pole. 4 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light, And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night; And redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 4 May the glorious day approaching, Thine eternal Love proclaim, And the everlasting Gospel Spread abroad Thy holy Name, O'er the borders Of the great Emmanuel's land. 5 Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway Thy sceptre, Saviour, all the world around.

Invitation

Author: Toplady Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,497 hymnals First Line: Come ye sinners poor and wretched Lyrics: 1 Come ye sinners poor and wretched, Weak and wounded, sick and sore Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love and pow'r; He is able, He is willing; doubt no more. 2 Ho! ye needy, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify True belief and true repentance, Every grace that brings you nigh Without money Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness he requireth Is to feel you need of him This he gives you, 'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam. 4 Agonizing in the garden, Lo your Maker prostrate lies! On the bloody tree behold him, Hear him cry before he dies, It is finish'd" Sinner will not this suffice? 5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended, Pleads the merit of his blood, Venture on him, venture freely Let no other trust intrude, None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 6 Saints and angels join'd in concert Sing the praises of the Lamb, While the blissful seats of Heaven, Sweetly echo with his Name. Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same.

Mighty God, while angels bless Thee

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7 Appears in 293 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless Thee, May a mortal lisp Thy Name? Lord of men, as well as angels, Thou art every creature’s theme. 2 Lord of every land and nation, Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation Be Thy just and lawful praise. 3 For the grandeur of Thy nature. Grand beyond a seraph’s thought; For created works of power, Works with skill and kindness wrought: 4 For Thy Providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow: Blessed by Thy gentle reign. 5 But Thy rich, Thy free Redemption, Dark through brightness all along-- Thought is poor, and poor expression: Who dare sing that awful song! 6 From the highest throne in glory To the Cross of deepest woe! All to ransom guilty captives! Flow, my praise, for ever flow. Topics: Worship Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: MERTON

Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's battle

Author: Caswall; Venantius Fortunatus Meter: 8.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's battle, Tell His triumph far and wide; Tell aloud the wondrous story Of His Body crucified; How upon the cross a victim, Vanquishing in death, He died. 2 Eating of the tree forbidden, Man had sunk in Satan's snare, When our pitying Creator Did this second tree prepare, Destined many ages later, That first evil to repair. 3 So, when now at length the fullness Of the time foretold drew nigh, God the Son, the world's Creator, Let His Father's throne on high, From the Virgin's womb appearing Clothed in our humanity. 4 Thus did Christ to perfect manhood In our mortal flesh attain; Then of His free choice He goeth To a death of bitter pain; He, the Lamb upon the altar Of the cross, for us was slain. 5 Lo, with gall His thirst He quenches, See the thorns upon His brow; Nails His tender flesh are rending; See, His side is piercèd now; Whence, to cleanse the whole creation, Streams of blood and water flow. 6 Christ, to Thee with God the Father, And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee, Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving, And unwearied praises be; Honor, glory, and dominion, And eternal victory. Amen. Used With Tune: [Sing, my tongue, the Saviour's battle]

Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee

Author: Francis Scott Key Meter: 8.7 Appears in 282 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise Thee For the bliss Thy love bestows, For the pardoning grace that saves me, And the peace that from it flows. Help, O God, my weak endeavor; This dull soul to rapture raise: Thou must light the flame, or never Can my love be warmed to praise. 2 Praise, my soul, the God that sought thee, Wretched wanderer, far astray; Found thee lost, and kindly brought thee From the paths of death away. Praise, with love's devoutest feeling, Him who saw Thy guilt-born fear, And the light of hope revealing, Bade the blood-stained Cross appear. 3 Lord, this bosom's ardent feeling Vainly would my lips express: Low before Thy footstool kneeling, Deign Thy suppliant's prayer to bless. Let thy grace, my soul's chief treasure, Love's pure flame within me raise: And, since words can never measure, Let my life show forth Thy praise.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,340 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He whose Word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode: On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace which, like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Saviour, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.
