O God, the Strength of Those Who War

Author: William B. Carpenter, 1841-1918 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4910 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O God, the strength of those who war, The hope of those who wait, Be with our sons gone forth to fight, And those who keep the gate. 2. Give to our hosts in battle’s hour Firm hearts and courage high, Thy comfort give to those who fall, Thy peace to those who die. 3. Breathe on our land the spirit calm Which faith in right bestows, And in the hours of dark suspense A faith which stronger grows. 4. In Thee alone we place our hope, Thou Keeper of the just, And Thou, through fight and fire and fears Wilt justify our trust. 5. Thy ways are wonderful, O God, Who makest wars to cease: O let this be the final war That ushers in Thy peace. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

O Lord and Master of Us All

Author: John G. Whittier Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5110 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. O Lord and Master of us all, Whate’er our name or sign, We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call, We test our lives by Thine. 2. Thou judgest us; Thy purity Doth all our lusts condemn; The love that draws us nearer Thee Is hot with wrath to them. 3. Our thoughts lie open to Thy sight And naked to Thy glance Our secret sins are in the light Of Thy pure countenance. 4. Yet weak and blinded though we be, Thou dost our service own; We bring our varying gifts to Thee, And Thou rejectest none. 5. To Thee our full humanity, Its joys and pains belong; The wrong of man to man on Thee Inflicts a deeper wrong. 6. Who hates, hates Thee; who loves, becomes Therein to Thee allied: All sweet accords of hearts and homes In Thee are multiplied. 7. Apart from Thee all gain is loss, All labor vainly done; The solemn shadow of the cross Is better than the sun. 8. Our Friend, our Brother, and our Lord, What may Thy service be? Nor name, nor form, nor ritual word, But simply following Thee. 9. We faintly hear, we dimly see, In differing phrase we pray; But dim or clear, we own in Thee The Light, the Truth, the Way.

Sing to the Lord Jehovah's Name

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6149 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Sing to the Lord Jehovah’s name, And in His strength rejoice; When His salvation is our theme, Exalted be our voice. 2. With thanks approach His awful sight, And psalms of honor sing; The Lord’s a God of endless might, The whole creation’s king. 3. Let princes hear, and angels know, How mean their natures seem, These gods on high and gods below, When once compared with Him. 4. Earth, with its caverns dark and deep, Lies in His spacious hand; He fixed the seas what bounds to keep, And where the hills must stand. 5. Come, and with humble souls adore, Come, kneel before His face; O may the creatures of His power Be children of His grace! 6. Now is the time; He bends His ear, And waits for your request; Come, lest He rouse His wrath and swear, Ye shall not see My rest. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

The Savior Comes

Author: William H. Bathurst Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9553 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The Savior comes; O happiest sound Lyrics: 1 The Savior comes; O happiest sound That ever reached our ears! Diffusing peace to all around, And quieting their fears. 2 He comes to execute the plan Contrived by sovereign love, And raise the fallen race of man To lasting joys above. 3 He comes to bind the broken heart, And make the wounded whole, And solid comfort to impart To every contrite soul. 4 He comes to bear our wants and pains, To suffer and to bleed; That we from Satan’s galling chains For ever might be freed. 5 Come, gracious Lord, Thy work fulfill, Thy great salvation bring; And reign on Zion’s holy hill The world’s triumphant king.

Come, Let Us Lift Our Voices High

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9770 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us lift our voices high, High as our joys arise, And join the songs above the sky, Where pleasure never dies. 2 Jesus, the God that fought and bled, And conquered when He fell; That rose, and at His chariot wheels Dragged all the powers of hell. 3 Jesus, our God, invites us here To this triumphal feast, And brings immortal blessings down For each redeemed guest. 4 The Lord, how glorious is His face! How kind His smiles appear! And oh! what melting words He says To every humble ear. “For you, the children of My love, It was for you I died; Behold My hands, behold My feet, And look into My side! “These are the wounds for you I bore, The tokens of My pains, When I came down to free your souls From misery and chains. “Justice unsheathed its fiery sword, And plunged it in My heart; Infinite pangs for you I bore, And most tormenting smart. “When hell, and all its spiteful powers, Stood dreadful in My way, To rescue those dear lives of yours, I gave My own away. 5 “But while I bled, and groaned, and died, I ruined Satan’s throne; High on My cross I hung, and spied The monster tumbling down. 6 Now you must triumph at My feast, And taste My flesh, My blood, And live eternal ages blest, For ’tis immortal food. 7 Victorious God! what can we pay For favors so divine? We would devote our hearts away To be for ever Thine. 8 We give Thee, Lord, our highest praise, The tribute of our tongues; But themes so infinite as these Exceed our noblest songs.

The Rush May Rise

Author: Unknown Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9818 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: The rush may rise where waters flow Lyrics: 1 The rush may rise where waters flow, And flags beside the stream; But soon their verdure fades and dies Before the scorching beam. 2 So is the sinner’s hope cut off; Or, if it transient rise, ’Tis like the spider’s airy web, From every breath that flies. 3 Fixed on his house, he leans; his house, And all its props decay: He holds it fast; but while he holds, The tottering frame gives way. 4 Fair is his garden, to the sun His boughs with verdure smile; And, deeply fixed, his spreading roots Unshaken stand a while. 5 But forth the sentence flies from Heaven, That sweeps him from his place; Which then denies him for its lord, Nor owns it knew his face. 6 Lo! this the joy of wicked men, Who Heaven’s high laws despise; They quickly fall; and in their room, As quickly others rise. 7 But, for the just, with gracious care, God will His power employ; He’ll teach their lips to sing His praise, And fill their hearts with joy.

Eternal Sovereign Of The Sky

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9945 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Eternal sovereign of the sky, And Lord of all below; We mortals to Thy majesty Our first obedience owe. 2 Our souls adore Thy throne supreme, And bless Thy providence, For magistrates of meaner name, Our glory and defense. 3 The crowns of British princes shine With rays above the rest, Where laws and liberties combine To make the nation blessed. 4 Kingdoms on firm foundations stand, While virtue finds reward; And sinners perish from the land By justice and the sword. 5 Let Cæsar’s due be ever paid To Cæsar and his throne; But consciences and souls were made To be the Lord’s alone.

Great King Of Glory And Of Grace

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11316 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Great King of glory and of grace! Lyrics: 1 Great King of glory and of grace! We own with humble shame, How vile is our degenerate race, And our first father’s name. 2 From Adam flows our tainted blood, The poison reigns within: Makes us averse to all that’s good, And willing slaves to sin. 3 Daily we break Thy holy laws, And then reject Thy grace; Engaged in the old serpent’s cause, Against our Maker’s face. 4 We live estranged afar from God, And love the distance well; With haste we run the dangerous road That leads to death and hell. 5 And can such rebels be restored? Such natures made divine? Let sinners see Thy glory, Lord, And feel this power of Thine. 6 We raise our Father’s name on high Who His own Spirit sends To bring rebellious strangers nigh, And turn His foes to friends.

The Mercies Of My God And King

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12055 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The mercies of my God and King My tongue shall still pursue: O happy they who, while they sing Those mercies, share them too! 2 As bright and lasting as the sun, As lofty as the sky, From age to age Thy truth shall run, And chance and change defy. 3 The covenant of the King of kings Shall stand for ever sure; And ’neath the shadow of Thy wings Thy saints repose secure. 4 Thine is the earth, and Thine the skies, Created at Thy will: The waves at Thy command arise, At Thy command are still. 5 In earth below, in Heav’n above, Who, who is Lord like Thee? O spread the Gospel of Thy love Till all Thy glories see. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ANNE

Heav'n Has Confirmed The Great Decree

Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12582 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Heav’n has confirmed the great decree Lyrics: 1 Heav’n has confirmed the great decree, That Adam’s race must die: One general ruin sweeps them down, And low in dust they lie. 2 Ye living men, the tomb survey, Where you must quickly dwell; Hark how the awful summons sounds In every funeral knell! 3 Once you must die, and once for all; The solemn purport weigh; For know, that Heav’n and Hell are hung On that important day. 4 Those eyes, so long in darkness veiled, Must wake the Judge to see. And every word, and every thought Must pass His scrutiny. 5 O may I in the Judge behold My Savior and my friend, And far beyond the reach of death With all His saints ascend.
