Take comfort, Christians, when your friends

Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take comfort, Christians, when your friends in Jesus fall asleep; their better being never ends; why then dejected weep? 2 Why inconsolable, as those to whom no hope is giv’n? Death is the messenger of peace, and calls the soul to heav’n. 3 As Jesus dy'd, and rose again victorious from the dead; so his disciples rise, and reign with their triumphant Head. 4 The time draws nigh, when from the clouds Christ shall with shouts descend, and the last trumpet’s awful voice the heavens and earth shall rend. 5 Then they who live shall changed be, and they who sleep shall wake; the graves shall yield their ancient charge, and earth’s foundations shake. 6 The saints of God, from death set free, with joy shall mount on high; the heav’nly hosts with praises loud shall meet them in the sky, 7 Together to their Father’s house with joyful hearts they go; and dwell for ever with the Lord, beyond the reach of woe. 8 A few short years of evil past, we reach the happy shore, where death-divided friends at last shall meet, to part no more. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Used With Tune: CORONA

Had not the Lord been on our side

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Had not the Lord been on our side, may Israel now say; 2 Had not the Lord been on our side, when men rose us to slay; 3 alive they had us swallowed then in rage beyond control; 4 the waters had us overwhelmed, the stream gone o'er our soul. had sunk beneath the stream. 5 Then had the waters swelling high over our soul made way. 6 Blessed be the Lord, who to their teeth us gave not for a prey. 7 Our soul’s escaped, as a bird out of the fowler’s snare; the snare asunder broken is, and we escaped are. 8 Our sure and all-sufficient help is in Jehovah’s name; his name who did the heaven create, and who the earth did frame. Scripture: Psalm 124 Used With Tune: CORONA

When Israel out of Egypt went

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt went, and did his dwelling change, when Jacob’s house went out from those that were of language strange, 2 Judah became his holy place, Israel his own domain; 3 the sea beheld, and quickly fled, Jordan turned back again. 4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs the hills skipped to and fro. 5 O sea, why fledd’st thou? Jordan, back why wast thou driven so? 6 Ye mountains great, wherefore was it that ye did skip like rams? And wherefore was it, little hills, that ye did leap like lambs? 7 O at the presence of the Lord, earth, tremble thou for fear, what time the presence of the God of Jacob doth appear: 8 who in the desert from the rock did pools of water bring; and by his power did turn the flint into a water-spring. Scripture: Psalm 114 Used With Tune: CORONA

Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give ye unto the Lord, ye sons that of the mighty be, all strength and glory to the Lord with cheerfulness give ye. 2 O give ye glory to the Lord, and his great name adore; and in the beauty of holiness bow down the Lord before. 3 The Lord’s voice on the waters is; the God of majesty doth thunder, and on multitudes of waters sitteth he. 4 A mighty voice it is that comes out from the Lord most high; the voice of that great Lord is full of glorious majesty. 5 The voice of the Eternal doth asunder cedars tear; Jehovah doth the cedars break that Lebanon doth bear. 6 He makes them like a calf to skip, even that great Lebanon, and, like to a young unicorn, the mountain Sirion. 7 The Lord’s voice cleaves the flames of fire; 8 the desert it doth shake: the Lord doth make the wilderness of Kadesh all to quake. 9 The Lord’s voice makes the hinds to calve, it makes the forest bare: and in his temple every one his glory doth declare. 10 The Lord sat on the flood; the Lord sits King, and ever shall. 11 The Lord will give his people strength, and with peace bless them all.
