Go, Ye Messengers of God

Author: Joshua Marsden Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 122 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. Go, ye messengers of God! Like the beams of morning fly, Take the wonder working rod, Wave the banner cross on high; Where the lofty minaret Gleams along the morning skies, Wave it till the crescent set, And the Star of Jacob rise! 2. Go to many a tropic isle In the bosom of the deep, Where the skies forever smile And the oppressed forever weep: O’er their gloomy night of care Pour the living light of Heaven; Chase away their dark despair, Bid them hope to be forgiven! 3. Where the golden gates of day Open on the palmy East, Wide the bleeding cross display, Spread the Gospel’s richest feast: Bear the tidings round the ball, Visit every soil and sea: Preach the cross of Christ to all, Jesus’ love is full and free!

See How Great a Flame Aspires

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 109 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. See how great a flame aspires, Kindled by a spark of grace! Jesus’ love the nations fires, Sets the kingdoms on a blaze: To bring fire on earth He came; Kindled in some hearts it is: O that all might catch the flame, All partake the glorious bliss! 2. When He first the work begun, Small and feeble was His day: Now the word doth swiftly run; Now it wins its widening way: More and more it spread and grows, Ever mighty to prevail; Sin’s strongholds it now o’erthrows, Shakes the trembling gates of hell. 3. Sons of God, your Savior praise! He the door hath opened wide! He hath given the word of grace, Jesus’ word is glorified; Jesus, mighty to redeem, He alone the work hath wrought; Worthy is the work of Him, Him who spake a world from naught. 4. Saw ye not the cloud arise, Little as a human hand? Now it spreads along the skies, Hangs o’er all the thirsty land: Lo! the promise of a shower Drops already from above; But the Lord will shortly pour All the spirit of His love.

What are these in bright array, This innumerable throng Round the altar night and day, Hymning one triumphant song? Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing honor, glory, power, Wisdom, riches, to obtain, New dominion every hour. 2. These through fiery trials trod; These from great affliction came; Now before the throne of God Sealed with His almighty name, Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their dear Redeemer’s might, More than conquerors they stand. 3. Hunger, thirst, disease, unknown, On immortal fruits they feed; Them the Lamb amidst the throne Shall to living fountains lead: Joy and gladness banish sighs; Perfect love dispel all fear; And for ever from their eyes God shall wipe away the tear.

Jesu, for the Beacon-Light

Author: Henry W. Baker Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Jesu, for the beacon-light By Thy holy Doctors given, When the mists of error’s night, Gathered o’er the path to Heav’n; For the witness that they bare To the truth they learned of Thee, For the glory that they share, Let our praise accepted be. 2. In Jerusalem below They were workmen at Thy call, Each with one hand met the foe, With the other built the wall; Watchmen on the mountain set, Scribes instructed in Thy Word, Fishers with the Gospel net, Drawing souls to Thee their Lord. 3. Like Thy learnèd sons of yore, Jesu, may Thy Pastors still Know and teach Thy sacred lore With brave heart and patient skill; In these latter days of strife Keep, O keep them true to Thee, Till beside the well of life Light in Thine own light they see.

Thou, the Christ Forever One

Author: William Bright Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Thou, the Christ forever one, Mary’s child and Israel’s God, Daniel’s prince and David’s son, Jacob’s star and Jesse’s rod, Thou of whom of the prophets spake, Thou in whom their words came true, Hear the pleading prayer we make, Hear the Gentile for the Jew! 2. Knowing what the Spirit saith, Sure of Thee, our Christ divine, Lo, we stand, by right of faith, Heirs of Abraham’s chartered line; Can we then his sons forget, Branches severed from their tree, Exiles from their homes, and yet Kinsmen, Lord, in flesh to Thee? 3. Though the blood betrayed and spilt, On the race entailed a doom, Let its virtue cleanse the guilt, Melt the hardness, chase the gloom; Lift the veil from off their heart, Make them Israelites indeed, Meet once more for lot and part With Thy household’s genuine seed. 4. Thou that didst Thy dews outpour, Crowning alien grafts with fruit, Soon the native growths restore, Making glad the parent root: Ah! but let not pride ensnare Souls that need to mourn their sin; Still the boughs adopted spare, And the outcasts—graft them in! 5. Speed the day of union sweet When with us in faith allied, Israel’s heart shall turn to greet Thee, whom Israel crucified; Thee, in all Thy truth and grace, Owned at last as Salem’s king, While her children find their place, Gathered safe beneath Thy wing.

Virgin Mother, Oh, Rejoice!

Author: John W. Hewett Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Virgin mother, oh, rejoice! Glad and honored is thy womb, Where the Son of God Himself Deigns our nature to assume: Joy be to thy fruitful breast, For the Son of God lies there; Very God, a human child, Is thy high and holy care. 2 He, the Father’s only Son, And by whom all things were made, Helpless, clothed in mortal flesh, In thy tender arms is laid: He in Heaven is the source Whence the joy of angels flows, Here on earth, an infant weak, Thirst and hunger both He knows. 3 There He rules o’er all that are, Here He doth His mother’s will; There He gives His high commands, Here commands He doth fulfill; There on highest throne He sits Far above the vaulted skies, Here enwrapped in swaddling clothes In a manger low He lies. 4 Mortal, think upon these things, Study well the depth to know Of the all embracing love Which these wondrous lessons show: Of forgiveness lose not hope, Though thou mayst have sinnèd much, When the proofs of love abound, When the proofs of love are such. 5 Seek the blessèd fount and source Whence indulgence flows to all, And before the Savior’s feet In confiding meekness fall— Jesu, on the erring look, All the wanderers restore, And amid Thy hosts redeemed Set them safe forevermore.

Victor-laurels deck Thy brow; Thou art altogether fair, Bliss in Thee beyond compare. 10 With us stay, Redeemer dear, On us shed Thy brightness here; Chase the darkness of the night, Fill the world with sweetest light! 11 For Thy blessèd presence, Lord, Gives the knowledge of Thy word; Fetters of the earth it breaks, Ardent love within awakes. 12 Love of Jesus, oh, how meet! Love of Jesus, oh, how sweet! Thousand times more glorious far, Than our highest praises are. 13 This Thy bitter passion shows, And the precious blood that flows— Gracious pardon now is sealed, And the Father’s face revealed. 14 Jesus, then, let all adore, Now let all His grace implore; Seek in Him to have your part— Seeking, love shall fill your heart. 15 Thus we feebly own the love Richly pourèd from above; Own, in grace, His precious grace, Haste to see His blessèd face. 16 Jesu, spring of pity high, Jesu, hope of every joy, Source of grace and glory bright, Thou of hearts the true delight! 17 Who may fully sing Thy praise? Faltering voices here we raise— Dare we, filled with joyous love, Mingle songs with saints above? 18 Oh, then, let me taste and see, Lord, Thy gracious love to me— Jesus, by Thy presence dear, Let me feel Thy glory here! 19 Jesu, Thy dilection, Sweetest heart’s reflection, Never satiates, ever fills, Longing meets but never stills. 20 They who eat will hunger more, Thirst anew who drank before— Oh, the longing luxury Of the heart that pants for Thee! 21 Wouldst the joy of Jesus know? Must thy heart in love o’erflow— Satisfied in Him, and blest, Finds the soul eternal rest. 22 Jesus, praise of angels high, Song of sweetest melody, Honey from the rock Thou art, Heavenly nectar in the heart. 23 Thousand times I long for Thee, Come, O Jesus, come to me; Gladden, Lord, my heart in grace, Satisfy me with Thy face! 24 Ever-flowing stream of love, Ever wafting hearts above— Love that sweetest fruit will bear, Fruit of life eternal there. 25 O Thou depth of love untold, Joy that e’er the heart doth hold, Sovereign mercy unsurpassed, Let Thy kindness hold me fast. 26 Yes, to love, it is most blest— Lord, Thyself my sole request; Let all vanish then and flee, Let me live, from hence, in Thee! 27 Thou art my eternal part, Hope of every praying heart— Inmost longing of the meek, Tears of penitence Thee seek! 28 Though I wander far and wide, Will I seek Thee by my side; Oh what joy to find Thee near! Oh what bliss to hold Thee here! 29 Fills the heart delight untold, Heavenly fellowship I hold; Could such joys forever last, All too quickly they are past! 30 What so long I asked, I see What I sought I have in Thee; And, while joying in Thy love, Long the more for Thee above. 31 Love which from Thy loving flows, Neither change nor end it knows, Fails not, loses not its glow, Evermore must brighter grow. 32 Love that fresh desire awakes, Meeting it most blessèd makes; Love, delighting, knows aright, Knowing, tastes of fresh delight. 33 Love which heavenly love imparts, Love which dwells in inmost hearts, Love which lightens up the mind, Pleasure true alone can find. 34 Oh what sweet and holy fire, Oh what ardent, blest desire, Oh what rich reflection, Loving Thee, eternal Son! 35 Blossom of the virgin womb, Heavenly light in earthly gloom; Humbled once, to glory raised, And in songs eternal praised! 36 Come, oh come, most glorious King, Thou, whose praises angels sing; Ever longs our soul for Thee, Help us clearer now to see! 37 Brighter than the sunlight calm, Fragrant more than sweetest balm; Better Thou, more precious, dear, Than our broken pleasures here. 38 Every sense and taste is filled, Every yearning, Lord, is stilled Thou alone canst be the part, Jesu, of each loving heart. 39 Thou, heart’s delectation, Thou, love’s consummation, Thou, best consolation, Jesu, our salvation! 40 Thou hast conquered, glorious, And returned victorious; Yet though now enthroned on high, Ever Thou to us art nigh! 41 Art Thou risen, and reign’st above? I am bound to Thee in love; Never art Thou far from me— Gracious Lord, I follow Thee! 42 Heavenly denizens draw nigh, Lift the jeweled gates on high, And to Christ triumphant sing: Jesus, hail! of glory King! 43 King of glory, King of might, King of victory most bright; Blessèd Jesu, full of grace, Image of the Father’s face— 44 Thou, the Truth, the Life, the Way— Thou, the Sun of endless day, Chase our sorrow’s darksome night, Pouring down Thy glorious light! 45 Praise the Lord, thou heavenly choir, Answer, thou seraphic lyre, While a joyous, ransomed earth Sings the story of her birth. 46 Reign, O Lord! in peace most blest— Reign in sweet, unbroken rest; Ah! how longs each weary heart There to have its joyous part. 47 To the Father gone art Thou, Entered Heaven’s glory now; And my heart is gone from me, Bound, O Christ, in love to Thee! 48 Lord, we follow with our praise— Vows, and prayers, and hymns we raise; Grant, O Christ, eternally There to dwell in light with Thee!

Depth of mercy! Can there be

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 811 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Depth of mercy! Can there be Mercy still reserved for me? Can my God His wrath forbear? Me, the chief of sinners, spare? I have long withstood His grace, Long provoked Him to His face, Would not hearken to His calls, Grieved Him by a thousand falls. 2 Whence to me this waste of love? Ask my Advocate above; See the cause in Jesus' face. Now before the throne of grace. There for me the Saviour stands, Shows His wounds, and spread His hands; God is love! I know, I feel; Jesus weeps, and loves me still! 3 Jesus, answer from above; Is not all Thy nature love? Wilt thou not the wrong forget, Suffering me to kiss Thy feet? If I rightly read Thy heart, If Thou all compassion art, Bow Thine ear, in mercy bow, Pardon and accept me now.
