Like shadows gliding o'er the plain

Author: Jane Taylor Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #932 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Like shadows gliding o'er the plain, Or clouds that roll successive on, Man's busy generations pass, And while we gaze, their forms are gone. 2 We live, we die: behold the sum Of good or ill on life's fair page; Alike in God's all-seeing eye, The infant's day, the patriarch's age. 3 O Father, in whose mighty hand The boundless years and ages lie, Teach us thy boon of life to prize, And use the moments as they fly.

The Day Draws on with Golden Light

Author: Thomas A. Lacey Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1181 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The day draws on with golden light, Glad songs go echoing through the height, The broad earth lifts an answering cheer, The deep makes moan with wailing fear. 2. For lo, He comes, the mighty King, To take from death his power and sting, To trample down his gloomy reign And break the weary prisoner’s chain. 3. Enclosed He lay in rocky cell, With guard of armèd sentinel; But thence returning, strong and free, He comes with pomp of jubilee. 4. The sad Apostles mourn Him slain, Nor hope to see their Lord again; Their Lord, whom rebel thralls defy, Arraign, accuse, and doom to die. 5. But now they put their grief away, The pains of hell are loosed today; For by the grave, with flashing eyes, Your Lord is risen, the angel cries. 6. Maker of all, to Thee we pray, Fulfill in us Thy joy today; When death assails, grant, Lord, that we May share Thy Paschal victory. 7. To Thee who, dead, again, dost live, All glory, Lord, Thy people give; All glory, as is ever meet, To Father and to Paraclete. Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET

High in the Heavens, Eternal God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2414 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: High in the heav'ns, eternal God Lyrics: 1. High in the heav’ns, eternal God, Thy goodness in full glory shines; Thy truth shall break through every cloud That veils and darkens Thy designs. 2. Forever firm Thy justice stands, As mountains their foundations keep; Wise are the wonders of Thy hands; Thy judgments are a mighty deep. 3. Thy providence is kind and large Both man and beast Thy bounty share; The whole creation is Thy charge, But saints are Thy peculiar care. 4. My God, how excellent Thy grace, Whence all our hope and comfort spring! The sons of Adam in distress Fly to the shadow of Thy wing. 5. From the provisions of Thy house We shall be fed with sweet repast; There mercy like a river flows, And brings salvation to our taste. 6. Life, like a fountain, rich and free, Springs from the presence of the Lord; And in Thy light our souls shall see The glories promised in Thy Word. Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET

Jesus, and Shall It Ever Be

Author: Joseph Grigg Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3209 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, and shall it ever be, A mortal man, ashamed of Thee? Ashamed of Thee, whom angels praise, Whose glories shine through endless days? 2. Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let night disown each radiant star! ’Tis midnight with my soul, till He, Bright morning star, bid darkness flee. 3. Ashamed of Jesus! O as soon Let morning blush to own the sun! He sheds the beams of light divine O’er this benighted soul of mine. 4. Ashamed of Jesus! that dear friend On whom my hopes of Heav’n depend! No; when I blush, be this my shame, That I no more revere His name. 5. Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may When I’ve no guilt to wash away; No tear to wipe, no good to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 6. Ashamed of Jesus! empty pride! I’ll boast a Savior crucified, And O may this my portion be, My Savior not ashamed of me! Grigg’s original version: 1. Jesus! and shall it ever be! A mortal man ashamed of Thee? Scorn’d be the thought by rich and poor; O may I scorn it more and more! 2. Ashamed of Jesus! sooner far Let evening blush to own a star. Ashamed of Jesus! just as soon Let midnight blush to think of noon. 3. ’Tis evening with my soul till He, That Morning Star, bids darkness flee; He sheds the beam of noon divine O’er all this midnight soul of mine. 4. Ashamed of Jesus! shall yon field Blush when it think who bids it yield? Yet blush I must, while I adore, I blush to think I yield no more. 5. Ashamed of Jesus! of that Friend On whom for heaven my hopes depend! It must not be! be this my shame, That I no more revere His name. 6. Ashamed of Jesus! yes, I may, When I’ve no crimes to wash away; No tear to wipe, no joy to crave, No fears to quell, no soul to save. 7. Till then (nor is the boasting vain), Till then I boast a Saviour slain: And, oh, may this my portion be, That Saviour not ashamed of me! Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET

Jesus, the Sinner's Friend

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3285 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Jesus, the sinner's friend, to Thee Lyrics: 1. Jesus, the sinner’s friend, to Thee, Lost and undone, for aid I flee, Weary of earth, myself, and sin: Open Thine arms, and take me in. 2. Pity and heal my sin sick soul; ’Tis Thou alone canst make me whole; Dark, till in me Thine image shine, And lost, I am, till Thou art mine. 3. At last I own it cannot be That I should fit myself for Thee: Here, then, to Thee I all resign; Thine is the work, and only Thine. 4. What shall I say Thy grace to move? Lord, I am sin, but Thou art love; I give up every plea beside— Lord, I am lost, but Thou hast died. Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET

The Lord, How Wondrous Are His Ways

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3721 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. The Lord, how wondrous are His ways! How firm His truth! How large His grace! He takes His mercy for His throne, And thence He makes His glories known. 2. Not half so high His power hath spread The starry heav’ns above our head, As His rich love exceeds our praise, Exceeds the highest hopes we raise. 3. Not half so far hath nature placed The rising morning from the west, As His forgiving grace removes The daily guilt of those He loves. 4. How slowly doth His wrath arise! On swifter wings salvation flies; And if He lets His anger burn, How soon His frowns to pity turn. 5. Amidst His wrath compassion shines; His strokes are lighter than our sins; And while His rod corrects His saints, His ear indulges their complaints. 6. So fathers their young sons chastise With gentle hand and melting eyes; The children weep beneath the smart, And move the pity of their heart. 7. The mighty God, the wise and just, Knows that our frame is feeble dust; And will no heavy loads impose Beyond the strength that He bestows. 8. He knows how soon our nature dies, Blasted by every wind that flies; Like grass we spring, and die as soon, Or morning flowers that fade at noon. 9. But His eternal love is sure To all the saints, and shall endure; From age to age His truth shall reign, Nor children’s children hope in vain. Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET

My Sins Laid Open to the Rod

Author: James M. Gray, 1851-1935 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4365 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. My sins laid open to the rod, The back which from the law was free; And the eternal Son of God Received the stripes once due to me. 2. No beam was in His eye, nor mote, Nor laid to Him was any blame; And yet His cheeks for me were smote— The cheeks that never blushed for shame. 3. I pierced those sacred hands and feet That never touched or walked in sin; I broke the heart that only beat The souls of sinful men to win. 4. That sponge of vinegar and gall Was placed by me upon His tongue; And when derision mocked His call, I stood that mocking crowd among. 5. And yet His blood was shed for me, To be of sin the double cure; And balm there flows from Calvary’s tree That heals my guilt and makes me pure. Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET

To Thine Eternal Arms, O God

Author: Thomas W. Higginson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6949 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. To Thine eternal arms, O God, Take us, Thine erring children, in; From dangerous paths too boldly trod, From wandering thoughts and dreams of sin. 2. Those arms were round our childhood’s ways, A guard through helpless years to be; O leave not our maturer days! We still are helpless without Thee. 3. We trusted hope and pride and strength; Our strength proved false, our pride was vain; Our dreams have faded all at length— We come to Thee, O Lord, again! 4. A guide to trembling steps yet be! Give us of Thine eternal power! So shall our paths all lead to Thee, And life still smile, like childhood’s hour. Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET

While o'er Our Guilty Land, O Lord

Author: Samuel Davies, 1723-1761 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7397 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. While o’er our guilty land, O Lord, We view the terrors of Thy sword, O whither shall the helpless fly? To whom but Thee direct their cry? 2. On Thee, our guardian God, we call; Before Thy throne of grace we fall; And is there no deliverance there? And must we perish in despair? 3. See, we repent, we weep, we mourn; To our forsaken God we turn; O spare our guilty country, spare The Church which Thou hast planted there. 4. We plead Thy grace, indulgent God, We plead Thy Son’s atoning blood, We plead Thy gracious promises; And are they unavailing pleas? 5. These pleas, presented at Thy throne, Have brought ten thousand blessings down On guilty lands in helpless woe; Let them prevail and help us, too. Languages: English Tune Title: FEDERAL STREET
