Glory be to God on high

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory be to God on high, and peace on earth descend; God comes down, he bows the sky, and shows himself our friend! God the invisible appears, God the blest, the great I AM, sojourns in this vale of tears, and Jesus is his name. 2 Him the angels all adored, their maker and their king: tidings of their humbled Lord they now to mortals bring: emptied of his majesty, of his dazzling glories shorn, being’s source begins to be, and God himself is born! 3 See the eternal Son of God a mortal son of man, dwelling in an earthly clod whom heaven cannot contain! Stand amazed ye heavens at this! See the Lord of earth and skies humbled to the dust he is, and in a manger lies! 4 We earth's children now rejoice, the Prince of peace proclaim, with heaven’s host lift up our voice, and shout Emmanuel’s name; knees and hearts to him we bow; of our flesh, and of our bone, Jesus is our brother now, and God is all our own!

Maker, Savior Of Mankind

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Maker, Savior of mankind, Who hast on me bestowed, An immortal soul, designed To be the house of God: Come, and now reside in me, Never, never to remove; Make me just and good, like Thee, And full of power and love. 2 Bid in me Thine image rise, A saint, a creature new; True, and merciful, and wise, And pure and happy, too; This Thy primitive design, That I should in Thee be blest; Should within Thine arms divine, For ever, ever rest. 3 Let Thy will in me be done; Fulfill my heart’s desire, Thee to know, and love alone, And rise in raptures higher. Thee descending on a cloud, Till with ravished eyes I see; Then shall I be filled with God To all eternity. Used With Tune: AMSTERDAM Text Sources: Hymns for Children, 1763

Celebrate Immanuel's Name

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Celebrate Immanuel’s name, the Prince of life and peace. 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

God, The Omnipresent God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 God, the omnipresent God, Our strength and refuge stands Ready to support our load, And bear us in His hands: Readiest when we need Him most, When to Him distressed we cry; All who on His mercy trust Shall find deliverance nigh. 2 Kept by Him, we scorn to fear In danger’s blackest day, Starting at destruction near, Though nature faint away, Though the stormy ocean roar, Though the madding billows rise, Rage, and foam, and lash the shore, And mingle earth and skies. 3 Let earth’s inmost center quake, And shattered nature mourn, Let unwieldy mountains shake, And fall by storms uptorn, Fall with all their trembling load Far into the ocean hurled, Lo! We stand secure in God, Amidst a ruined world. 4 From the throne of God there springs A pure and crystal stream, Life, and peace, and joy it brings To His Jerusalem: Rivers of refreshing grace Through the sacred city flow, Watering all the hallowed place Where God resides below. 5 God most merciful, most high, Doth in His Sion dwell, Kept by Him their towers defy The strength of earth and hell; Built on her o’ershadowing Rock, Who shall her foundations move? Who her great defender shock— The Almighty God of love. 6 All that on this Rock are stayed The world assaults in vain, Ever present with His aid He shall His own sustain: Guardian of the chosen race, Jesus doth His church defend, Save them by His timely grace, And keep them to the end. 7 Furiously the heathen raged Against His church below, Kingdoms all their power engaged Jerusalem t’o’erthrow; Earth from her foundation stirred, Yawned to swallow up her prey, Jesus spoke, she owned His word, And quaked, and fled away. 8 For His people in distress The God of Jacob stands, Keeps us, ’till our troubles cease, In His almighty hands: He for us His power hath shown, He doth still our refuge prove; Loves the Lord of hosts His own, And shall forever love. 9 Come, behold the Almighty Lord In robes of vengeance clad; By the desolating sword What havoc hath He made! He hath sent His armies forth, States and kingdoms to o’erthrow, Marched in anger through the earth, And ravaged all below. 10 Lo! Again in tender love He bids their discords cease, Calms their spirit from above, And melts them into peace; Breaks the bow and burns the car, Instruments of fatal ill, Quells the horrid din of war, And bids the world be still. 11 "Sons of men, be still, and know That I am God alone; I my saving power will show, And make my goodness known; All shall with my will comply"; Fear the name to sinners given, Bow before the Lord most high, The Lord of earth and Heav’n. 12 For His people in distress The God of Jacob stands, Bears us, ’till our troubles cease, In His almighty hands: He for us His power hath shown, He doth still our refuge prove, Loves the Lord of hosts His own, And shall forever love.

When Descending from the Sky

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 19 hymnals 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.
