Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Prayer; The Church The Church in Prayer Used With Tune: BONAR

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Come ye that seek the Lord, Him that was crucified, Come listen to the Gospel word, And feel it now applied; To every soul of man The joyful news we show, Jesus for every sinner slain, Is risen again for you. 2. The Lord is risen indeed, And did to us appear, He hath been seen, our living head, By many a Peter here: We, who so oft denied Our master and our God, Have thrust our hand into His side, And felt the streaming blood. 3. Raised from the dead we are The members with their Lord, And boldly in His name declare The soul reviving word; Salvation we proclaim Which every soul may find, Pardon and peace in Jesus’ name, And life for all mankind. 4. O might they all receive The bleeding Prince of Peace! Sinners, the glad report believe, Of Jesus’ witnesses; He lives, who spilt His blood; Believe our record true, The arm, the power, the Son of God Shall be revealed in you.

Let every creature join

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: Let every creature join to praise th'eternal God; the heavenly hosts begin the song, and sound God's name abroad; the sun with golden beams, the moon with paler rays, the starry lights, like twinkling flames, display their Maker’s praise. Let those of wide command extol the gracious Lord; let judges yield to God’s own hand, be guided by his word. By all the earth-born race his honors be expressed; but saints that know his heavenly grace should learn to praise him best. From mountains near the sky let songs of joy resound! From humble souls to leaders high, from vales and hills around, let all our zeal be shown by grateful songs we raise; God is the Lord! His name alone deserves our endless praise!

Caught By th' Almighty Hand

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Caught by th’Almighty hand, That Spirit of the Lord, Carried beyond myself I stand, A witness of His word; I see the book unseal'd, Least of the prophets’ sons, I mark Ezekiel’s valley fill'd With visionary bones! 2 Many they are and dry, Spread thro' the open vale, Millions of lifeless souls they lie Within the Christian pale: I pass the churches thro', The scatter'd bones I see, And Christendom appears in view An hideous Calvary. 3 Can these dry bones perceive The quick'ning power of grace, Or Christian infidels retrieve The life of righteousness? All good, almighty Lord, Thou know’st Thine own design, The virtue of Thine own great word, The energy divine. 4 Now for Thy mercy’s sake, Let Thy great wWord proceed, Dispens'd by whom Thou wilt, to wake The spiritually dead; Send forth to prophesy Thy chosen messenger, And Thou the Gospel word apply, And force the world to hear. 5 Hear ye dry bones, and feel The word of truth and grace: I will in you myself reveal, I will your spirits raise; (Jehovah speaks the word) The promise is for you, Ye shall be gradually restor'd, And fashion'd all anew. 6 Cover'd with flesh and skin Ye shall your Saviour know, And find the breath of life within, Which I on all bestow: The joyful news receive. The grace to sinners given, The knowledge of your Lord, and live The sinless life of heaven. AMEN. Topics: Lay and Ordained Ministry Used With Tune: PASTOR BONUS

Help, Lord! The Busy Foe (The Praying Spirit Breathe)

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Help, Lord! the busy foe Lyrics: 1 Help, Lord! the busy foe Is as a flood come in! Lift up a standard, and o’erthrow This soul distracting sin. This sudden tide of care Stem by that bloody tree, Nor let the rising torrent bear My soul away from Thee. 2 The praying spirit breathe, The watching power impart, From all entanglements beneath Call off my anxious heart: My feeble mind sustain By worldly thoughts oppressed: Appear, and bid me turn again To my eternal rest. 3 Swift to my rescue come, Thine own this moment seize, Gather my wandering spirit home, And keep in perfect peace, Suffered no more to rove O’er all the earth abroad, Arrest the prisoner of Thy love, And shut me up in God.

Ye Men of Israel, Hear

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. Ye men of Israel, hear The words of truth and grace, Jesus did in the flesh appear To save a sinking race; A man of God approved, By signs and wonders known, Jesus, the Father’s well-beloved, The co-eternal Son. 2. The Prince of Life and Peace, By Heav’n’s supreme decree Delivered up, ye dared to seize, And nail Him to the tree; Taken by wicked hands, And crucified and slain; But God hath loosed the mortal bands, And raised Him up again. 3. It was not possible That death should keep his prey; God would not leave His soul in hell, Or let His flesh decay: His flesh reposed in hope Of the third joyful morn, And then the Father raised Him up, And God again was born. 4. This Jesus is restored To life by power divine; We all proclaim our living Lord, And in His praises join: We are His witnesses, He is gone up on high, Exalted to His native place, He lives no more to die. 5. Again at God’s right hand Our Lord is called to sit, Till all who now His sway withstand Are crushed beneath His feet: Be it to Israel’s seed, To every sinner known, God hath performed His oath indeed, Hath glorified His Son. 6. Sinners, believe He died, And rose to buy your peace; Jesus the Christ, the Crucified, The Lord of Life confess; Repent in Jesus’ name, Believe and be forgiven, And take the Holy Ghost ye claim, And rise with us to Heaven.
