Descend, Celestial Dove
Author: John Fellows, ?-1785 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7849 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Descend, celestial Dove,
And make Thy presence known;
Reveal our Savior’s love,
And seal us for Thine own;
Unblessed by Thee, our works are vain,
Nor can we e’er acceptance gain.
2 When our incarnate God,
The sovereign Prince of Light,
In Jordan’s swelling flood,
Received the holy rite,
In open view Thy form came down,
And dove-like flew, the King to crown.
3 The day was never known,
Since time began its race,
On which such glory shone,
On which was shown such grace,
As that which shed, in Jordan’s stream,
On Jesus’ head, the heavenly beam.
4 Continue still to shine,
And fill us with Thy fire:
This ordinance is Thine,
Do Thou our souls inspire!
Thou wilt attend on all Thy sons:
Till time shall end, Thy promise runs. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST CHURCH
Descend, Celestial Dove
O ye immortal throng
Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8537 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O ye immortal throng
of angels round the throne,
Join with our feeble song,
to make the Savior known:
On earth ye knew His wondrous grace;
His beauteous face in Heav’n ye view.
2 Ye saw the Heav’n-born child
in human flesh arrayed,
Benevolent and mild
while in the manger laid:
And Praise to God, and peace on earth,
For such a birth, proclaimed aloud.
3 Ye, in the wilderness,
beheld the tempter spoiled,
Well known in every dress,
in every combat foiled;
And joyed to crown the Victor’s head,
When Satan fled before His frown.
4 Around the bloody tree
ye pressed with strong desire
That wondrous sight to see,
the Lord of life expire:
And could your eyes have known a tear,
Had dropped it there in sad surprise.
5 Around His sacred tomb
a willing watch ye keep
Till the blest moment come
to rouse Him from His sleep:
Then rolled the stone, and all adored
Your rising Lord with joy unknown.
6 When, all arrayed in light,
the shining Conqueror rode,
Ye hailed His rapturous flight
up to the throne of God,
And waved around your golden wings,
And struck your strings of sweetest sound.
7 The warbling notes pursue,
and louder anthems raise,
While mortals sing with you
their own Redeemer’s praise:
And thou, my heart, with equal flame,
And joy the same, perform thy part. Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST CHURCH
O ye immortal throng
O'er Hoarse Atlantic's Wave
Author: Maria Popple, 1796-1847 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8558 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 First Line: O’er hoarse Atlantic’s wave Lyrics: 1 O’er hoarse Atlantic’s wave,
From Afric comes the cry,
O Christians! haste and save,
Ere in our want we die!
Our starving souls have ne’er been fed;
Oh! bring to us the Living Bread!
2 And broad Pacific’s shore
Re-echoes with the call,
From China wafted o’er,
Beseeching one and all
To kindle in the flowery clime
The Lamp of Life, the Light divine.
3 And India’s myriad sons
Stretch forth their dusky hands;
Crying, O favored ones,
Who dwell in Gospel lands,
Send to our longing, thirsty souls
The stream that with salvation rolls.
4 And shall we careless live
With these great gifts in store?
Nor from our fullness give
To spread from shore to shore
Glad tidings from the courts above
Of our Immanuel’s boundless love?
5 Pardon our coldness, Lord!
Our languid souls inspire.
May Thy life giving Word
Kindle a holy fire
In every heart that owns Thy sway
And hasten the millennial day! Languages: English Tune Title: DARWALL'S 148TH

The Triune God Above
Author: Susanna Harrison Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8696 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Triune God above,
And Lord of all below,
To sinners shows His love,
Displays His justice, too—
"Awake, awake, vindictive sword,
Against My Fellow!" saith the Lord.
2 "Awake against the Man
Omnipotent in power,
To execute My plan
Lost mortals to restore;
Man has a load of guilt so great
None but My Son can bear the weight.
3 "Him vengeance shall pursue,
For man He must atone;
To justice what is due
His blood can pay alone.
He shall My righteous law fulfill;
He shall accomplish all My will.
4 The Lord of Hosts commands,
Th’eternal Father spoke:
All Heav’n in silence stands
While Jesus bears the stroke.
See, guilty mortals! See, His side
For you was pierced! For you He died.
5 Draw near th’accursèd tree,
In wonder lost, that love
Could rise to that degree—
Your sentence to remove!
With weeping eyes His sorrows view,
He groaned, He bled, He died for you.
6 O let Him have your hearts,
Your blessings shall increase:
To His He still imparts
Both righteousness and peace.
His grace shall all your sins subdue,
He groaned, He bled, He died for you.
7 Bought by His precious blood,
You are no more your own;
Give up yourselves to God,
And live to Him alone:
Jesus will bear you conquerors through,
He groaned, He bled, He died for you.

Ye Servants Of The Lord
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8937 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ye servants of the Lord,
In Jesu’s praises join,
Who now confirms His word,
And sends another sign,
Sign of His day, and kingdom near:
Look up, and see your Lord appear!
2 His coming He foreshows
By famine, plague, and war,
And epidemic woes
His swift approach declare,
Trembles the earth to find Him near:
Look up, and see your Lord appear!
3 Hark how all nature groans
In pangs of second birth!
Expect, ye ransomed ones,
A new created earth,
The ruin of the old is near:
Look up, and see your Lord appear!
4 His tokens we espy,
And now lift up our head,
And in the earthquake cry,
It is my Savior’s tread!
He comes to save His servants here:
Look up, and see your Lord appear.
5 We do with joy look up,
In national distress,
With confidence of hope,
To meet the Prince of Peace,
We, unappalled in general fear,
Look up, and see our Lord appear.
6 Our Lord appears again,
His glorious power to show,
He comes, He comes to reign,
With all His saints below,
Judgment is mercy’s harbinger;
The earth is gone—and Christ is here!

Set Forth Before Our Eyes
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8989 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Set forth before our eyes,
As fastened to the tree
The Lord of earth and skies,
Th’ eternal God we see,
God over all in form of man,
Jehovah for His creatures slain!
2 Who call Thy death to mind,
Let us its virtues prove,
The Lover of mankind,
The Friend of sinners love,
Whose death is immortality,
Is glorious life, and Heaven to me. Languages: English Tune Title: ARTHUR'S SEAT
Set Forth Before Our Eyes
Before Elisha's Gate
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9002 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 First Line: Before Elisha’s gate Lyrics: 1 Before Elisha’s gate
The Syrian leper stood;
But could not brook to wait,
He deemed himself too good:
He thought the prophet would attend,
And not to him a message send.
2 Have I this journey come,
And will he not be seen?
I were as well at home,
Would washing make me clean:
Why must I wash in Jordan’s flood?
Damascus’ rivers are as good.
3 Thus by his foolish pride
He almost missed a cure;
Howe’er at length he tried,
And found the method sure:
Soon as his pride was brought to yield,
The leprosy was quickly healed.
4 Leprous and proud as he,
To Jesus thus I came,
From sin to set me free,
When first I heard His fame:
Surely, thought I, my pompous train
Of vows and tears will notice gain.
5 My heart devised the way
Which I supposed He’d take;
And when I found delay,
Was ready to go back:
Had he some painful task enjoined,
I to performance seemed inclined.
6 When by his word he spake,
"That fountain opened see;
’Twas opened for thy sake,
Go wash, and thou art free":
O! how did my proud heart gainsay,
I feared to trust this simple way.
7 At length I trial made,
When I had much endured;
The message I obeyed,
I washed, and I was cured:
Sinners, this healing fountain try,
Which cleansed a wretch so vile as I.

Swift As An Eagle's Flight
Author: William H. Grosser Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9135 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 First Line: Swift as an eagle’s flight Lyrics: 1 Swift as an eagle’s flight,
When hastening to his prey,
So, Father, in Thy sight,
Our moments pass away;
Yet not too swift their course shall be,
If they but bear us, Lord, to Thee.
2 As morning mists, that fly
The footsteps of the light;
As evening clouds, that die
Beneath the touch of night:
So fly our years—Lord, let them be
As friends, to lead us home to Thee!
3 Thy mercies past we sing,
The praise is Thine alone;
What future days shall bring,
To none but Thee is known:
Yet, whatsoe’er our portion be,
Conduct us safe to Heaven and Thee.
4 On life’s fast-rushing tide
What dangers hover near?
Yet, if our Savior guide,
We shall no shipwreck fear;
But joyful breast the stormy sea,
And land at last in Heaven with Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: CARINTHIA

All Praise To God On High
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9228 Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 All praise to God on high,
Who sets His heart on man,
And beckons from the sky,
And bids him turn again,
Gathers unto Himself his breath,
And blesses by an early death.
2 E’en now His arms receive
The spirit of my child;
He gave him to believe,
He showed him reconciled,
Cut short the sudden work of grace,
And caught him up to see His face.
3 The hallowing Spirit’s prayer
Breathed from his sprinkled heart,
And cried, "The newborn heir
Is ready to depart!"
And blessings on his friends approve
The faith that sweetly works by love.
4 His faith is lost in sight,
His prayers are lost in praise,
Amidst the saints in light
He sings the Savior’s grace,
Which strangely kept his conscience clean,
Unspotted in a world of sin.
5 So early to remove
And quit the vale of tears,
A miracle of love,
Throughout the early years,
Preserved his sacred innocence,
And snatched him uncorrupted hence.
6 Who kept his garments white,
Hath called him to a crown,
And lo! from Sion’s height,
The happy soul looks down,
Beyond the range of friends removed,
Took from a world he never loved.
7 He cannot love it now,
Or feel its poisoning power,
To Satan’s image bow,
Whom all mankind adore,
Worship the learned, or scarlet beast,
Or seek in creature good his rest.
8 Nor pleasure soft can soothe
His unsuspecting heart,
Or tempt his heedless youth
From Jesus to depart,
Nor grandeur turn his steps aside,
That stately littleness of pride!
9 He cannot now aspire
With a malicious joy,
(While envious passions fire
The fond, applauded boy)
Or cloak his honorable shame
With emulation’s specious name.
10 Ambition in his breast
Shall never, never glow;
In garb angelic dressed,
And deified below,
It issued from the dark abodes,
The glorious fault of devil gods!
11 The soul superior soars
To Heav’n’s unfolding scene,
The everlasting doors
Receive the stranger in.
And angels hail the newborn heir,
And kindred saints salute him there.
12 A royal coronet
Upon his head they place,
With stars of glory set,
And pearls of heav’nly grace;
They robe him in the milk-white vest,
And deck him for the marriage feast.
13 They bring his golden lyre,
And lo! he strikes the strings,
Amidst th’angelic choir,
The song of Moses sings,
Th’angelic choir, transported prove
Diviner joys, and stronger love.
14 He lives to die no more,
He reigns above the sky,
And I the blessing bore,
A joyful mother I
My darling son have freely giv’n
T’exalt the happiness of Heav’n.
