Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Author: Edward Plumptre, 1821-91 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old
Was strong to heal and save;
It triumphed o'er disease and death,
O'er darkness and the grave;
To thee they went, the blind, the dumb,
The palsied and the lame,
The leper with his tainted life,
The sick with fevered frame.
2 And lo! thy touch brought life and health,
Gave speech, and strength, and sight;
And youth renewed and frenzy calmed
Owned thee the Lord of light;
And now, O Lord, be near to bless,
Almighty as of yore,
In crowded street, by restless couch,
As by Gennesareth's shore.
3 Be thou our great deliverer still,
Thou Lord of life and death;
Restore and quicken, soothe and bless
With thine almighty breath;
To hands that work, and eyes that see,
Give wisdom's heavenly lore,
That whole and sick, and weak and strong,
May praise thee evermore. Topics: Sacraments and Other Rites Sickness and Healing; St. Luke October 18th Used With Tune: ST MATTHEW

Hear Me O God, Nor Hide Thy Face
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 64 hymnals First Line: Hear me, O God, nor hide Thy face Lyrics: 1. Hear me, O God, nor hide Thy face;
But answer, lest I die;
Hast Thou not built a throne of grace
To hear when sinners cry?
2. My days are wasted like the smoke
Dissolving in the air;
My strength is dried, my heart is broke,
And sinking in despair.
3. My spirits flag like withering grass
Burnt with excessive heat;
In secret groans my minutes pass,
And I forget to eat.
4. As on some lonely building’s top
The sparrow tells her moan,
Far from the tents of joy and hope
I sit and grieve alone.
5. My soul is like a wilderness
Where beasts of midnight howl;
There the sad raven finds her place
And there the screaming owl.
6. Dark, dismal thoughts, and boding fears,
Dwell in my troubled breast;
While sharp reproaches wound my ears,
Nor give my spirit rest.
7. My cup is mingled with my woes,
And tears are my repast;
My daily bread, like ashes, grows
Unpleasant to my taste.
8. Sense can afford no real joy
To souls that feel Thy frown;
Lord, ’twas Thy hand advanced me high
Thy hand hath cast me down.
9. My looks like withered leaves appear;
And life’s declining light
Grows faint as evening shadows are
That vanish into night.
10. But Thou for ever art the same,
O my eternal God;
Ages to come shall know Thy name,
And spread Thy works abroad.
11. Thou wilt arise and show Thy face,
Nor will my Lord delay
Beyond th’appointed hour of grace,
That long-expected day.
12. He hears His saints, He knows their cry,
And by mysterious ways
Redeems the prisoners doomed to die,
And fills their tongues with praise. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Lo, What a Glorious Sight Appeared
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 290 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appeared
before admiring eyes:
the former things all passed away,
the former earth and skies.
From heav’n the new Jerus'lem came,
for Christ, as bride prepared.
A voice resounding from the throne
these wondrous things declared:
2 "Now God has come to dwell with men,
and moved his blest abode.
His people they shall be at last,
and he shall be their God.
His gracious hand shall wipe the tears
from ev'ry weeping eye,
for pain and grief shall be no more,
and death itself shall die."
3 The One who sat upon the throne
said, "I make all things new!
Write down the words that you have heard,
for they are firm and true.
It is all done, and by my pow'r
is paradise restored.
I am the First, and I the Last,
the one eternal Lord.
4 "Come, all who thirst! To you I will
my healing water give.
Drink from my fountain without price
and so forever live.
Blest is the man who, conquering,
his heritage has won,
for I will be his faithful God
and he shall be my son.
5 "As for the vile and faithless ones,
those who my will defy
are thrown into the burning lake,
and death itself shall die."
We, too, shall stand before the throne;
then shall our names be found
recorded in the Book of Life.
How shall our joy abound! Topics: Christ Second Coming and the Last Judgment of Scripture: Revelation 21:1-8 Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW
