Twas by an order from the Lord
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 150 hymnals Topics: The Scriptures; The Scriptures inspired Lyrics: 1 'Twas by an order from the Lord
The ancient prophets spoke his word;
His Spirit did their tongues inspire,
And warm'd their hearts with heav'nly fire.
2 The works and wonders which they wrought
Confirm'd the messages they brought;
The prophet's pen succeeds his breath,
To save the holy words from death.
3 Great God! mine eyes with pleasure look
On the dear volume of thy book;
There my Redeemer's face I see,
And read his name who died for me.
4. Let the false raptures of the mind
Be lost, and vanish in the wind;
Here I can fix my hope secure;
This is thy word, and must endure.
Twas by an order from the Lord
'Twas on that night
Author: John Morison, 1750-1798 Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Canticles and Scripture Paraphrases First Line: 'Twas on that night when doomed to know Lyrics: 1 'Twas on that night when doomed to know
the eager rage of every foe,
that night in which he was betrayed,
the Saviour of the world took bread,
2 and after thanks and glory given
to God who rules in earth and heaven,
that symbol of his flesh he broke,
and thus to all his followers spoke:
3 "My broken body thus I give
for you, for all; take, eat and live;
and oft the sacred rite renew
that brings my saving love to view."
4 Then in his hands the cup he raised
and God anew he thanked and praised;
the fullness of God's grace he showed,
and from his lips salvation flowed.
5 "My blood I thus pour forth," he cries,
"to cleanse the soul in sin that lies;
in this the covenant is sealed,
and heaven's eternal grace revealed.
6 "With suffering love this cup is given;
let all partake the wine of heaven,
and when you gather, let it pour
in living memory of this hour." Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 Used With Tune: ROCKINGHAM Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, alt.
'Twas on that night
Unto the Hills
Author: John D. S. Campbell Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Scripture Songs; Scripture Songs First Line: Unto the hills around do I lift up Lyrics: 1 Unto the hills around do I lift up
My longing eyes;
O whence for me shall my salvation come,
From whence arise?
From God the Lord, doth come my certain aid,
From God the Lord who heav'n and earth hath made.
2 He will not suffer that thy foot be moved:
Safe shalt thou be.
No careless slumber shall His eyelids close,
Who keepeth thee.
Behold our God, the Lord,
He slumbereth ne'er,
Who keepeth Israel in His holy care.
3 Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true,
Thy changeless shade;
Jehovah thy defense on thy right hand
Himself hath made.
And thee no sun by day shall ever smite;
No moon shall harm thee in the silent night.
4 From every evil shall He keep thy soul,
From every sin;
Jehovah shall preserve thy going out,
Thy coming in.
Above thee watching, He whom we adore
Shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore.
Amen.

Up to the Lord that reigns on high
Author: Isaac Watts; Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 71 hymnals Topics: Book of nature and Scripture; Nature and Scripture; Scripture compared with the book of nature Lyrics:
Up to the Lord, that reigns on high,
And views the nations from afar,
Let everlasting praises fly,
And tell how large his bounties are.
[He that can shake the worlds he made,
Or with his word, or with his rod,
His goodness, how amazing great!
And what a condescending God!]
[God, that must stoop to view the skies,
And bow to see what angels do,
Down to our earth he casts his eyes,
And bends his footsteps downwards too.]
He overrules all mortal things,
And manages our mean affairs;
On humble souls the King of kings
Bestows his counsels and his cares.
Our sorrows and our tears we pour
Into the bosom of our God;
He hears us in the mournful hour,
And helps us bear the heavy load.
In vain might lofty princes try
Such condescension to perform;
For worms were never raised so high
Above their meanest fellow worm.
O could our thankful hearts devise
A tribute equal to thy grace,
To the third heav'n our songs should rise,
And teach the golden harps thy praise.
Scripture: Psalm 19

Vital Union to Christ in Regeneration
Author: Dr. Doddridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 195 hymnals Topics: Scripture Doctrines and Blessings Regeneration First Line: Dear Savior, we are thine Lyrics: 1 Dear Savior, we are thine,
By everlasting bonds:
Our names, our hearts, we would resign,
Our souls are in thy hands.
2 To thee we still would cleave
With ever-growing zeal;
If millions tempt us Christ to leave,
O let them ne’er prevail.
3 Thy spirit shall unite
Our souls to thee our head:
Shall form in us thy image bright,
That we thy paths may tread.
4 Death may our souls divide
From these abodes of clay;
But love shall keep us near thy side
Thro' all the gloomy way.
5 Since Christ and we are one,
Why should we doubt or fear?
If he in heaven hath fix'd his throne,
He’ll fix his members there. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:17
