How Lovely, Lord of Hosts, to Me
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. How lovely, Lord of Hosts, to me
The tabernacles of Thy grace;
O how I long, yea, faint to see
Thy hallowed courts, Thy dwelling place;
For Thee my heart and spirit sigh,
For Thee, O living God, I cry.
2. The sparrow has her place of rest;
The swallow, through Thy kindly care,
Has found where she may build her nest
And brood her young in safety there;
Thy altars as my rest I sing,
O Lord of Hosts, my God, my King.
3. Blest they who in Thy house abide,
They still to Thee shall render praise;
Blest they who in Thy strength confide,
And in whose hearts are Zion’s ways;
Though passing through the vale of tears,
Like springs of joy Thy grace appears.
4. Advancing still from strength to strength,
They onward go where saints have trod,
Till every one appears at length
In Zion’s courts before his God;
Jehovah, God of Hosts, give ear,
Our fathers’ God, in mercy hear.
5. Upon us look, O God, our shield,
The face of Thy anointed see;
A thousand other days can yield
No gladness like one day with Thee;
Though only at Thy door I wait,
No tents of sin give joy so great.
6. Jehovah, God our Shield and Sun,
Will grace and glory surely give;
No good will He withhold from one
Who in His sight shall rightly live;
O Lord of Hosts, most blest is he
Who puts his steadfast trust in Thee. Used With Tune: ADORO TE Text Sources: The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 229

Oh, Why, By Furious Rage Combined
Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Oh, why, by furious rage combined,
Were Israel’s sons with heathens joined,
And madly drew the hostile sword
Against their own anointed Lord?
Their blinded counsels but fulfill
The gracious purpose of His will.
2 By them that precious blood was spilt,
Which flowed to wash away our guilt;
And Jesus but resigned His breath
To triumph over sin and death;
Henceforth as Son of God to reign,
The universe His wide domain.
3 Those sacred brows, once torn with thorns,
An everlasting crown adorns;
Those hands, by cruel cords disgraced,
In which the insulting reed was placed,
Now grasp the mighty rod of power—
Oh tremble, nations, and adore!
4 But still, yes still, with tender love,
He prays, He pleads for us above;
Oh seek we then the Savior’s face,
With joy accept His offered grace,
Ere, armed with vengeance from on high,
He comes in dreadful majesty. Used With Tune: ADORO TE Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1829

Now I have found the ground wherein
Help me, O God, and hear my cry
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Help me, O God, and hear my cry,
extend to me Your saving hand,
the waters rise, the floods are high,
my feet have found no place to stand:
now, lest the depths become my grave,
O God of hosts, draw near and save.
2 My secret faults, my sin and shame,
lie open, Lord, before Your face,
yet in my heart I love Your name
and all my hope is in Your grace:
Lord, in Your mercy, think on me;
speak but the word, and set me free.
3 So shall I praise the God of love,
with heaven and earth and sea and sky,
who hears us from His throne above
and lifts His ransomed people high,
to sound His praise in ceaseless song
where all who love His name belong. Topics: The Fall The Human Condition Scripture: Psalm 69 Used With Tune: ST CHRYSOSTOM

Then, Then The Gospel Day Shall Rise
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Then, then the Gospel day shall rise,
(Jehovah speaks, let earth attend)
“I from My throne above the skies
Will on all flesh My Spirit send;
Not one but may the promise find
The gift poured out on all mankind.
2 "Your sons and daughters at that day
Shall in the solemn worship join,
Or fervent in the Spirit pray,
Or utter words of praise divine;
The old shall dream, inspired by Me,
The young shall heavenly visions see.
3 "I will to the whole ransomed race
My glorious deity reveal,
Pour out the Spirit of My grace,
My servants and My handmaids fill
With love, shed in their hearts abroad,
With all the plenitude of God.
4 "Who slight My miracles of love
On them I will My judgments show,
Portentous signs in Heaven above,
And prodigies in earth below;
The earth shall be burnt up with fire,
And all its works in smoke expire.
5 "The sun shall black as sackcloth turn,
The moon shall redden into blood,
The elements melt, the Heav’ns shall burn,
At that great awful day of God;
The stars shall from their orbits fall,
And flames and darkness cover all."
6 Then shall the Lord His truth display,
(the merciful almighty Lord)
To those that did His call obey,
The residue that kept His Word;
He shall the full salvation give,
And bid His saints in glory live.
7 Then all that on the Lord rely,
And call in faith on Jesu’s name,
Caught up to meet Him in the skies,
Their master’s glorious joy shall claim,
Joy to His faithful servants giv’n,
Joy in a new eternal Heav’n. Used With Tune: ADORO TE Text Sources: Hymns for Times of Trouble and Persecution by John and Charles Wesley (London: Strahan, 1744)

A Hymn for Midnight
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: While midnight shades the earth o'erspread Lyrics: 1. While midnight shades the earth o’erspread,
And veil the bosom of the deep,
Nature reclines her weary head,
And care respires and sorrows sleep;
My soul still aims at nobler rest,
Aspiring to her Savior’s breast.
2. Aid me, ye hovering spirits near,
Angels and ministers of grace;
Who ever, while you guard us here,
Behold your heavenly Father’s face!
Gently my raptured soul convey
To regions of eternal day.
3. Fain would I leave this earth below,
Of pain and sin the dark abode;
Where shadowy joy, or solid woe,
Allures, or tears me from my God:
Doubtful and insecure of bliss,
Since death alone confirms me His.
4. Till then, to sorrow born, I sigh,
And gasp, and languish after home;
Upward I send my streaming eye,
Expecting till the Bridegroom come:
Come quickly, Lord! Thy own receive;
Now let me see Thy face, and live.
5. Absent from Thee, my exiled soul
Deep in a fleshly dungeon groans;
Around me clouds of darkness roll,
And laboring silence speaks my moans:
Come quickly, Lord! Thy face display,
And look my midnight into day.
6. Error, and sin, and death are o’er,
If Thou reverse the creature’s doom;
Sad Rachel weeps her loss no more,
If Thou, the God, the Savior come:
Of Thee possest, in Thee we prove
The light, the life, the heaven of love. Used With Tune: ADORO TE Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems (London: William Strahan, 1739), pages 49-50
A Hymn for Midnight
When Time Seems Short and Death Is Near
Author: George W. Bethune Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals First Line: When time seems short, and death is near Lyrics: 1. When time seems short, and death is near,
And I am pressed by doubt and fear,
And sins, an overflowing tide,
Assail my peace on every side,
This thought my refuge still shall be,
I know my Savior died for me.
2. His name is Jesus, and He died—
For guilty sinners crucified;
Content to die, that He might win
Their ransom from the death of sin.
No sinner worse than I can be,
Therefore I know He died for me.
3. If grace were bought, I could not buy;
If grace were coined, no wealth have I;
By grace alone I draw my breath,
Held up from everlasting death.
Yet since I know His grace is free,
I know the Savior died for me.
4. I read God’s holy Word, and find
Great truths which far transcend my mind
And little do I know beside
Of thought so high and deep and wide.
This is my best theology—
I know the Savior died for me.
5. My faith is weak, but ’tis Thy gift;
Thou canst my helpless soul uplift,
And say, Thy bonds of death are riv’n,
Thy sins by Me are all forgiv’n,
And thou shalt live, from guilt set free;
For I, thy Savior, died for thee. Used With Tune: ADORO TE Text Sources: The hymn was first published in Lyra Sacra Americana, 1868
When Time Seems Short and Death Is Near
¿Qué significa tal rumor?
Author: Juan Bautista Cabrera, 1837-1916; Etta Campbell Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 ¿Qué significa tal rumor?
¿Qué significa tal tropel?
¿Quién puede un día y otro así
La muchedumbre conmover?
Responde el pueblo en alta voz:
"Pasa Jesús de Nazaret."
2 ¿Quién es, decid, aquel Jesús
Que manifiesta tal poder?
¿Por qué a su paso la ciudad
Se agolpa ansiosa en torno de Él?
Lo dice el pueblo; oíd su voz:
"Pasa Jesús de Nazaret."
3 ¡Jesús, que vino acá a sufrir
Angustia, afán, cansancio y sed;
Y dio consuelo, paz, salud
A cuantos viera padecer!
Por eso alegre el ciego oyó:
"Pasa Jesús de Nazaret."
4 Los que sufrís tribulación,
Venid, descanso y paz tendréis;
Los que alejados camináis
De Dios, su gracia poseeréis;
Si sois tentados, he aquí,
"Pasa Jesús de Nazaret."
5 Mas si su gracia rechazáis,
Su amor mirando con desdén,
Entristecido marchará,
Y en vano luego clamaréis,
¡Es tarde ya! Dirá la voz:
"Fuese Jesús de Nazaret."
