O for that flame of living fire
If Jesus Rose Not From The Grave
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 If Jesus rose not from the grave,
The faith of all His saints is vain:
That He can have no power to save,
If death detains Him still, is plain.
2 If Jesus rose not from the grave,
We’re guilty still, our sins remain:
The hope is vain His people have;
If Jesus rose not, hope is vain.
3 If Jesus rose not from the grave,
His foes were right in all they said:
For He to all assurance gave
That He would rise, and leave the dead.
4 If Jesus rose not from the grave,
Then all He said was empty boast:
His claims no good foundation have;
And they who sleep in Him are lost.
If Jesus rose not from the grave,
The thief that perished by His side,
As just a claim as He would have,
To be the sinner’s hope and guide.
5 But now is Jesus risen indeed:
The first fruits He of those who sleep:
Rejoice ye saints, the Prisoner’s freed;
For who could such a prisoner keep?
6 He fought with Death, the saints’ last foe:
And though He seemed to lose the day,
’Twas Death sustained the overthrow,
Subdued by Him who seemed his prey.
7 Doubt then no more, ye saints, nor grieve
The Lord is risen, is risen indeed;
Because He lives, His saints shall live:
Shall live with Him, their glorious head.
8 He sits at God’s right hand above,
The dread of foes, the joy of friends;
Supreme in power, in truth, in love,
His kingdom, one that never ends.
9 The glorious day is drawing near,
When He who lay in yonder tomb,
With crowds of angels shall appear,
And take His waiting people home. Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: Hymns Not Before Published (Dublin: Thomas Johnston, 1815)
If Jesus Rose Not From The Grave
How sweet the hour of closing day
Author: William Bathurst Appears in 126 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweet the hour of closing day,
When all is peaceful and serene,
And the broad sun's retiring ray
Sheds mellow luster o'er the scene!
2 Such is the Christian's parting hour;
So peacefully he sinks to rest
When faith, endued from Heaven with power,
Sustains and cheers his languid breast.
3 Mark but that radiance of his eye,
That smile upon his wasted cheek;
They tell us of his hope on high
In language that no tongue can speak.
4 Who would not wish to die like those
Whom God's own Spirit deigns to bless?
To sink into that soft repose,
Then wake to perfect happiness? Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: WOODWORTH

A Halo Rests Upon Thy Brow
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A halo rests upon Thy brow,
O Savior of the sons of men;
For Thou art crowned a victor now—
But Thou wilt come to us again.
2 Thou hast a thought for those who tread
The steeps of life, and often fail;
The weak in faith lift up the head,
And in Thy strength, O Christ, prevail.
3 Thou art not far removed from those,
That yearn for Thee, and seek Thy grace;
Who in Thy tender love repose,
May hear Thy voice, and see Thy face—
4 And know the love that giveth rest,
And share its strength, and feel its glow;
As he who leaned upon Thy breast,
When Thou wert with us, long ago.
5 But hearts are sad, and lives are lone,
They long for Thee, who love Thee most;
E’en when Thy promised Gift they own—
The comfort of the Holy Ghost.
6 Thou art our faith, our hope, our love,
O Lover of the souls of men;
Bow down Thy heav’ns, and from above,
Come, blessèd Lord, to us again. Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: Tr.: Hymns of the Russian Church (London: Humphrey Milford & Oxford University Press, 1920)

Is This Thy Will, And Must I Be
Author: Susanna Harrison Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Is this Thy will, and must I be
A living witness, Lord, for Thee?
Must I Thy wondrous love record,
And spread Thy praises far abroad?
2 Must I to all Thy saints unfold
The things which Thou to me hast told?
And shall the eyes of sinners see
What Thou hast done for worthless me?
3 Wilt Thou no longer me excuse,
And wilt Thou frown if I refuse?
O let me have Thy presence still,
And I’ll submit to all Thy will!
4 Make Thou my path of duty plain,
And let Thine arm my soul sustain;
Give me new strength, new courage here,
And fill my soul with holy fear.
5 To Thee I dedicate the whole,
Thine is my heart, and Thine my soul;
Bless what my feeble hand hath wrought,
And take the praise of every thought.
6 Wilt Thou, dear Lord, Thine handmaid own?
Her offering with acceptance crown?
Thy glory is her humble aim:
Eternal glory to Thy name!
Alternate last stanza:
Wilt Thou, dear Lord, Thine servant own?
My offering with acceptance crown?
Thy glory is my humble aim:
Eternal glory to Thy name! Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: Songs in the Night (Ipswich, England: Punchard & Jermyn, 1780)

As once for Jonah, so the Lord
Author: John Newton Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As once for Jonah, so the Lord
To soothe and cheer my mournful hours,
Prepared for me a pleasing gourd;
Its shade was cool, and sweet its flowers.
2 To prize His gift was surely right;
But through the folly of my heart,
It hid the Giver from my sight,
And soon my joy was changed to smart.
3 While I admired its beauteous form,
Its pleasant shade and graceful fruit;
The Lord, displeased, sent forth a worm,
Unseen, to prey upon the root.
4 I trembled when I saw it fade,
But guilt restrained the murmuring word;
My folly I confessed, and prayed,
Forgive my sin, and spare my gourd.
5 His wondrous love can ne’er be told,
He heard me and relieved my pain;
His word the threatening worm controlled,
And bid my gourd revive again.
6 Now, Lord, the gourd is mine no more,
’Tis Thine, who only couldst it raise;
The idol of my heart before,
Henceforth shall flourish to Thy praise. Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1
