I Would Not Live Alway; I Ask Not to Stay

Author: William A. Mühlenberg Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 702 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I would not live alway; I ask not to stay Where storm after storm rises dark o’er the way. The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here Suffice for life’s woes, are enough for its cheer. 2 I would not live alway; thus fettered by sin, Temptation without and corruption within; E’en rapture of pardon is mingled with fears, The cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears. 3 I would not live alway; no, welcome the tomb: Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom. There sweet be my rest till He bid me arise To hail Him in triumph descending the skies. 4 Ah, who would live alway, away from his God, Away from yon heaven, that blissful abode, Where rivers of pleasure flow o’er the bright plains And noontide of glory eternally reigns; 5 Where saints of all ages in harmony meet, Their Savior and brethren transported to greet, While anthems of rapture unceasingly roll, And smile of the Lord is the feast of the soul? Amen. Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Scripture: Job 7:16 Used With Tune: MALDWYN

The Earth and the Fullness with Which It Is Stored

Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The earth and the fullness with which it is stored, The world and its dwellers belong to the Lord; For He on the seas its foundations has laid, And firm on the waters its pillars has stayed. 2. What man shall the hill of Jehovah ascend, And who in the place of His presence attend? The man of pure heart and of hands without stain, Who swears not to falsehood nor loves what is vain. 3. That man ever blest of Jehovah shall live, The God of salvation shall righteousness give; For this is the people, yea, this is the race, The Israel true that is seeking His face.

Delay Not, Delay Not, O Sinner, Draw Near

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 362 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near. The waters of life are now flowing for thee. No price is demanded; the Savior is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 2 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers and calls thee today. Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 3 Delay not, delay not! The Spirit of Grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. 4 Delay not, delay not! The hour is at hand; The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade. The dead, small and great, in the Judgment shall stand; What pow'r, then, O sinner, shall lend thee its aid? 5 Delay not, delay not! Why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? Amen. Topics: Invitation Scripture: Acts 24:25 Used With Tune: MALDWYN

The Lord Has Come Down

Author: John R. Macduff Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: The Lord has come down in a chariot of cloud Lyrics: 1 The Lord has come down in a chariot of cloud, The trumpet is pealing portentous and loud; Majestic He rides on the wings of the wind, And bears His dread message of wrath to mankind. 2 He cometh! He cometh! the mountain it quakes, The voice of His thunder each echo awakes; The myriads of Israel are heard to implore, That accents of terror be spoken no more. 3 "The blackness, and darkness, and tempest," are past! But lingers no message of love in the blast? Oh! hark we in vain for some pitying voice, To bid the desponding take hope and rejoice? 4 It speaks! but it is not from Sinai’s dread form, Emblazoned in lightning, and curtained in storm; From Calvary’s summit the word is addressed, "Come, weary and laden, to Me and find rest." 5 Jehovah’s perfections exulting have met, The Surety has suffered—discharged is the debt; And justice and mercy unite to proclaim Salvation to sinners through faith in His name. 6 No more on the law shall I seek to rely, Appalled by its mandate, "Obey Me, or die;" All, all that I need, my dear Savior can give; How gracious His message— "Believe Me, and live!"
