Awake, ye saints, awake

Author: T. Cotterill; E. Scott Appears in 171 hymnals Used With Tune: BEVAN

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 898 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise, my soul, arise, Shake off thy guilty fears; The bleeding Sacrifice In my behalf appears; Before the throne my Surety stands, My name is written on His hands. 2 He ever lives above, For me to intercede; His all-redeeming love, His precious blood to plead; His blood atoned for all our race, And sprinkles now the throne of grace. 3 Five bleeding wounds He bears, Received on Calvary; They pour effectual prayers, They strongly speak for me; Forgive him, O forgive, the cry, Nor let that ransomed sinner die! 4 The Father hears Him pray, His dear anointed One; He cannot turn away The presence of his Son; His Spirit answers to the blood, And tells me I am born of God. 5 My God is reconciled, His pardoning voice I hear: He owns me for His child, I can no longer fear; With confidence I now draw nigh, And "Father, Abba Father!" cry.

Jesus, My Great High Priest

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my great High Priest, offered his blood and died; my guilty conscience seeks no sacrifice beside. His pow'rful blood did once atone, and now it pleads before the throne. 2 To this dear Surety's hand will I commit my cause; he answers and fulfills his Father's broken laws. Behold my soul at freedom set, my Surety paid the dreadful debt. 3 My Advocate appears for my defense on high; the Father bows his ears and lays his thunder by. Not all that hell or sin can say shall turn his heart, his love, away. 4 Should all the hosts of death and pow'rs of hell unknown put their most dreadful forms of rage and mischief on, I shall be safe, for Christ displays his conqu'ring pow'r and guardian grace.

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise God, for he is kind: his mercy lasts for aye. 2 Give thanks with heart and mind to God of gods alway: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 3 The Lord of lords praise ye, Whose mercies even stand. 4 Great wonders only he doth work with mighty hand: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 5 Give praise to his great name, who, by his wisdom high, the heaven above did frame, and buiot the lofty sky: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 6 To him who did outstretch the earth so great and wide; above the waters’ reach who made it to abide: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 7 Great lights who made of old; for his grace lasteth aye: 8 the sun, which we behold, to rule the lightsome day: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 9 Also the moon so clear, which shineth in our sight; the stars that do appear, to rule the darksome night: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 10 Who smote Egyptian foes, that did his message scorn; and in his anger rose, and slew all their first-born: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 11 Thence Israel out he brought; his mercies ever stand: 12 with outstretched arm he wrought, and with a mighty hand: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 13 The sea he clave in twain; for his grace lasteth still: 14 and through the parted main led his own Israel: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 15 But cast down Pharaoh then beneath the Red Sea's wave, and all his mighty men unto destruction gave: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 16 Who, in his faithfulness, his chosen people led through the great wilderness, and in his love them fed: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 17 To him great kings who smote; for his grace hath no bound. 18 who slew, and spared not kings famous and renowned: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 19 Sihon the Am’rites’ prince; for his grace lasteth aye: 20 and mighty Og, who once in Bashan's land had sway: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 21 By lot he gave their land, for his grace faileth never, 22 into his Israel's hand, an heritage for ever: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 23 Who also on us thought when in our low estate; 24 and from the hand us brought of those who did us hate: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally. 25 Who to all flesh gives food; for his grace faileth never. 26 Give thanks to God most good, the God of heaven, for ever: for certainly his mercies dure most firm and sure eternally.

Rejoice, ye sons of men!

Author: W. W. How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rejoice ye sons of men! Your brightest praises yield! The everlasting Son See in the flesh revealed! The world's Redeemer comes to-day His own Redemption's price to pay. 2 Lo! Simeon's saintly arms The holy burden bear; He sees with raptured eye His true salvation there. The weary waiting now is past; The long-expected comes at last. 3 The agèd saint's embrace The blessèd mother saw, And on his words so strange She mused with silent awe. What conflict for her child is stored? And what for her this piercing sword? 4 O Saviour, in Thy courts We all our sins confess: But Thou didst once for us Fulfill all righteousness. Impure, unclean, oh, may we be, Presented pure and clean in Thee! 5 And when, O God made Man, Upon our waiting eye, In glorious might revealed, Salvation draweth nigh; In that great day Thy servants bless, And be "the Lord of Righteousness"! Amen. Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts The Purification Used With Tune: BEVAN
