It is not death to die
Author: H. A. César Malan Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 177 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die--
To leave this weary road,
And, 'midst the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed with tears,
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.
4 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust,
And rise, on strong exulting wing,
To live among the just.
5 Jesus, Thou Prince of life,
Thy chosen cannot die:
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with Thee on high. Topics: The Last Things Burial and Resurrection; The Last Things Burial and Ressurection; Eternal Life; Resurrection Used With Tune: [It is not death to die]

My soul be on thy guard
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,364 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.

The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down;
Thine arduous work will not be done
Till thou obtain thy crown.

Shall bring thee to thy God:
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
To His divine abode. Topics: Conflict; Watchfulness Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 155 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and tarry not!
Bring the long-looked for day!
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?

Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"
Do you not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans
With longing for your stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of decay.
4 Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded paradise,
Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin your reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to yourself,
Great King of Righteousness! Topics: Advent Season; Hope; New Creation; New Life; Perseverance; Redemption; Reign of God, Kingdom; Second Coming Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Lord Jesus, think on me
Author: Synesius, c. 375-430; Allen W. Chatfield Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 129 hymnals Lyrics:
Lord Jesus, think on me,
And purge away my sin;
From earth-born passions set me free,
And make me pure within.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
With care and woe opprest,
Let me thy loving servant be,
And taste thy promised rest.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
Nor let me go astray;
Through darkness and perplexity
Point thou the heavenly way.
Lord Jesus, think on me,
That, when the flood is past,
I may the eternal brightness see,
And share thy joy at last.
Amen.

Tho' Scorners Thee Defy
Author: John Berridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Tho’ scorners Thee defy Lyrics: 1 Tho’ scorners Thee defy,
And proud blasphemers roar,
Thy throne, O Jesus, God most high,
Endureth evermore!
2 Thine hands a scepter hold,
Which only God can grasp;
Which wisdom swayed all times of old,
And truth and mercy clasp.
3 Thou lovest righteousness,
And will uphold its seat,
And daring sinners, great or less,
Shall perish at Thy feet.
4 Thy subject I would be,
And willing made by grace,
A servant waiting here on Thee,
Till called to see Thy face. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE Text Sources: Sion's Songs (London: Vallance & Conder, 1785)

A Dread And Solemn Hour
Author: Anonymous Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 22 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A dread and solemn hour
To us is drawing near;
When we before the throne of God
All present shall appear.
2 What answer shall we give,
When God Himself demands
The uses of such times as these,
In judgment at our hands?
3 And must we then confess
That all was spent in vain
The seasons that were once our own,
But cannot be again?
4 This will be dark indeed;
To regions of despair
Our own neglect will sink us down,
To mourn forever there.

Mine eyes upon the Lord
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 15 Mine eyes upon the Lord
continually are set;
for he it is that shall bring forth
my feet out of the net.
16 Turn unto me thy face,
and to me mercy show;
because that I am desolate,
and am brought very low.
17 My heart’s griefs are increased:
me from distress relieve.
18 See mine affliction and my pain,
and all my sins forgive.
19 Consider thou my foes,
because they many be;
and it a cruel hatred is
which they do bear to me.
20 O do thou keep my soul,
do thou deliver me;
and let me never be ashamed,
because I trust in thee.
21 Let truth and right me keep,
for I on thee attend.
22 Redemption, Lord, to Israel
from all his troubles send.
Scripture: Psalm 25:15-22 Used With Tune: ST BRIDE
