Earth Is Eternally the Lord's

Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Earth is eternally the Lord's, its fullness his alone; the world and all that dwell therein he made to be his own. For on the wide expanse of seas he founded it secure; he on the floods established it, and made it to endure. 2 Who may ascend the mount where stands God's holy dwelling place, or in his sanctuary may appear before his face? The clean of hands, the pure of heart, who ne'er their souls have lent to wrongful act, nor sworn an oath that masked a false intent. 3 Such are they all who from the Lord a blessing rich shall win; God with his mercies crowns their life and shields their souls within. Such must their generation be who to the heights aspire, who seek the face of Israel's God, and after him inquire. Topics: God Search for Scripture: Psalm 24 Used With Tune: ST.

A Purple Robe

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: A purple robe, a crown of thorn Lyrics: 1. A purple robe, a crown of thorn, A reed in His right hand; Before the soldiers’ spite and scorn I see my Savior stand. He bears between the Roman guard The weight of all our woe; A stumbling figure, bowed and scarred, I see my Savior go. The following verse fits with only with Common Meter tunes: Fast to the cross’s spreading span, High in the sunlit air, All the unnumbered sins of man I see my Saviour bear. 2. He hangs, by whom the world was made, Beneath the darkened sky; The everlasting ransom paid, I see my Savior die. He shares on high His Father’s throne, Who once in mercy came; For all His love to sinners shown I sing my Savior’s Name. The words to this hymn are under copyright.

Although on Massy Pillars Built

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Although on massy pillars built, The earth has lately shook; It trembled under all our guilt, [originally, Britain’s guilt] Before its maker’s look. 2. Swift as the shock amazement spreads, And sinners tremble too; What flight can screen their guilty heads, If earth itself pursue. 3. But mercy spared us while it warned, The shock is felt no more; And mercy, now, alas! is scorned By sinners, as before. 4. But if these warnings prove in vain, Say, sinner, canst thou tell, How soon the earth may quake again, And open wide to hell. 5. Repent before the Judge draws nigh; Or else when He comes down, Thou wilt in vain for earthquakes cry, To hide thee from His frown. 6. But happy they who love the Lord And His salvation know; The hope that’s founded on His Word, No change can overthrow. 7. Should the deep-rooted hills be hurled, And plunged beneath the seas; And strong convulsions shake the world, Your hearts may rest in peace. 8. Jesus, your shepherd, Lord, and chief, Shall shelter you from ill; And not a worm or shaking leaf Can move, but at His will. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 68, alt.: "the earthquake. September 8, 1775."
