God with us, our lips proclaim, our faithful hearts confess. God is in our flesh revealed; Heav’n and earth in Jesus join. Mortal with Immortal filled, and human with divine. 2. Fullness of the deity in Jesus’ body dwells, Dwells in all His saints and me when God His Son reveals. Father, manifest Thy Son; breathe the true incarnate Word. In our inmost souls make known the presence of the Lord. 3. Let the Spirit of our Head through every member flow; By our Lord inhabited, we then Immanuel know. Then He doth His name express; God in us we truly prove, Find with all the life of grace and all the power of love. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Hearken to the solemn voice, the awful midnight cry; Waiting souls, rejoice, rejoice, and see the Bridegroom nigh; Lo! He comes to keep His Word, light and joy His looks impart; Go ye forth to meet your Lord, and meet Him in your heart. 2. Ye who faint beneath the load of sin, your heads lift up; See your great redeeming God, He comes, and bids you hope: In the midnight of your grief, Jesus doth His mourners cheer; Lo! He brings you sure relief; believe, and feel Him here. 3. Ye whose loins are girt, stand forth! Whose lamps are burning bright, Worthy, in your Savior’s worth, to walk with Him in white: Jesus bids your hearts be clean, bids you all His promise prove; Jesus comes to cast out sin, and perfect you in love. 4. Wait we all in patient hope, till Christ, the Judge, shall come, We shall soon be all caught up to meet the general doom: In an hour to us unknown, as a thief in deepest night, Christ shall suddenly come down, with all His saints in light. 5. Happy he whom Christ shall find watching to see Him come; Him the Judge of all mankind shall bear triumphant home: Who can answer to His Word? Which of you dares meet His day? Rise, and come to judgment!—Lord, we rise, and come away. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns and Sacred Poems, 1742

When Descending from the Sky

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. When descending from the sky The Bridegroom shall appear; And the solemn midnight cry, Shall call professors near: How the sound our hearts will damp! How will shame o’erspread each face! If we only have a lamp, Without the oil of grace. 2. Foolish virgins then will wake And seek for a supply; But in vain the pains they take To borrow or to buy: Then with those they now despise, Earnestly they’ll wish to share; But the best, among the wise, Will have no oil to spare. 3. Wise are they, and truly blest, Who then shall ready be But despair will seize the rest, And dreadful misery: Once, they’ll cry, we scorned to doubt, Though in lies our trust we put; Now our lamp of hope is out, The door of mercy shut. 4. If they then presume to plead, Lord open to us now; We on earth have heard and prayed, And with thy saints did bow: He will answer from his throne, Though you with My people mixed, Yet to Me you ne’er were known, Depart, your doom is fixed. 5. O that none who worship here May hear that word, Depart! Lord impress a godly fear On each professor’s heart: Help us, Lord, to search the camp, Let us not ourselves beguile; Trusting to a dying lamp Without a stock of oil.

O the Depth of Love Divine

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O the depth of love divine, the unfathomable grace! Who shall say how bread and wine God into us conveys! How the bread his flesh imparts, how the wine transmits his blood, fills his faithful people’s hearts with all the life of God! 2 Let the wisest mortals show how we the grace receive; feeble elements bestow a power not theirs to give. Who explains the wondrous way, how through these the virtue came? These the virtue did convey, yet still remain the same. 3 How can spirits heavenward rise, by earthly matter fed, drink herewith divine supplies and eat immortal bread? Ask the Father’s wisdom how: Christ who did the means ordain; angels round our altars bow to search it out, in vain. 4 Sure and real is the grace, the manner be unknown; only meet us in thy ways and perfect us in one. Let us taste the heavenly powers, Lord, we ask for nothing more. Thine to bless, ’tis only ours to wonder and adore. Scripture: John 6:35-58 Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM

Let The World Lament Their Dead

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Let the world lament their dead, As sorrowing without hope; When a friend of ours is freed, We cheerfully look up, Cannot murmur or complain, For our dead we cannot grieve, Death to them, to us, is gain; In Jesus we believe. 2 We believe that Christ our head For us resigned His breath, He was numbered with the dead, And dying conquered death; Burst the barriers of the tomb: Death could Him no longer keep, He is the first-fruits become Of those in Him that sleep. 3 God, who Him to life restored, Shall all His members raise, Bring them quickened with their Lord, The children of His grace. We who then on earth remain, Shall not sooner be brought home; All the dead shall rise again To meet the general doom. 4 Jesus, faithful to His word, Shall with a shout descend; All Heaven’s host their glorious Lord Shall pompously attend; Christ shall come with dreadful noise, Lightnings swift, and thunders loud, With the great archangel’s voice, And with the trump of God. 5 First the dead in Christ shall rise; Then we who yet remain Shall be caught up to the skies, And see our Lord again; We shall meet Him in the air, All rapt up to Heaven shall be, See, and love, and praise Him there To all eternity. 6 Who can tell the happiness This glorious hope affords! Joy unuttered we possess In these reviving words: Happy while on earth we breathe, Mightier bliss ordained to know, Trampling upon sin and death, To the third Heaven we go.
