Amidst a world of hopes and fears

Hymnal: BW1870 #185 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Amidst a world of hopes and fears, A world of cares, and toils, and tears, Where foes alarm and dangers threat, And pleasures kill, and glories cheat: 2 Send down, O Lord, a heavenly ray, To guide me in the doubtful way; And o'er me hold Thy shield of power, To guard me in the dang'rous hour. 3 May never pleasure, wealth, or pride, Allure my wand'ring soul aside; But through this maze of mortal ill, Safe lead me to Thy heavenly hill. 4 There glories shine, and pleasures roll, That charm, delight, transport the soul, And ev'ry longing wish shall be Possess'd of boundless bliss in Thee.

And am I born to die?

Hymnal: BW1870 #294 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? 2 Soon as from earth I go, What will become of me? Eternal happiness or woe Must then my portion be! 3 Waked by the trumpet's sound, I from my grave shall rise, And see the Judge, with glory crown'd, And see the flaming skies. 4 How shall I leave my tomb? With triumph or regret? A fearful or a joyful doom, A curse or blessing meet? 5 O Thou that wouldst not have One wretched sinner die, Who diedst thyself, my soul to save From endless misery. 6 Show me the way to shun Thy dreadful wrath severe, That when Thou comest on Thy throne, I may with joy appear.

And am I only born to die?

Hymnal: BW1870 #296 (1870) Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die? And must I suddenly comply With nature’s stern decree? What after death for me remains? Celestial joys, or hellish pains, To all eternity. 2 How then ought I on earth to live, While God prolongs the kind reprieve, And props the house of clay; My sole concern, my single care, To watch, and tremble, and prepare Against the fatal day! 3 No room for mirth or trifling here, For worldly hope, or worldly fear, If life so soon is gone; If now the judge is at the door, And all mankind must stand before The inexorable throne! 4 Nothing is worth a thought beneath, But how I may escape the death That never, never dies! How make mine own election sure; And when I fail on earth, secure A mansion in the skies. 5 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray, Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way To glorious happiness. Ah! write the pardon on my heart; And whensoe’er I hence depart, Let me depart in peace.

And didst Thou, Jesus, condescend

Hymnal: BW1870 #124 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And didst Thou, Jesus, condescend, When veil'd in human clay, To heal the sick, the lame, the blind, And drive disease away? 2 Didst Thou regard the beggar's cry, And cause the blind to see? Jesus, Thou Son of David, hear, Have mercy, too, on me. 3 And didst Thou pity mortal woe, And sight and health restore? Oh, pity, Lord, and save my soul, Which needs Thy mercy more. 4 Didst Thou thy trembling servant raise, When sinking in the wave? I perish, Lord; oh, save my soul; For Thou alone canst save.

And let this feeble body fail

Hymnal: BW1870 #342 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 And let this feeble body fail, And let it faint and die; My soul shall quit the mournful vale And soar to worlds on high: Shall join the disembodied saints, And find its long-sought rest, That only bliss for which it pants In the Redeemer's breast. 2 In hope of that immortal crown, I now the cross sustain, And gladly wonder up and down, And smile at toil and pain. I suffer on my threescore years Till my deliverer come, And wipe away his servant's tears, And take his exile home. 3 Oh, what hath Jesus bought for me! Before my ravish'd eyes Rivers of life divine I see, And trees of paradise! I see a world of spirits bright Who taste the pleasures there! They all are robed in spotless white, And conq'ring palms they bear. 4 Oh, what are all my suff'rings here If, Lord, Thou count me meet, With that enraptured host t'appear, And worship at Thy feet! Give joy or grief, give ease or pain, Take life or friends away: But let me find them all again In that eternal day.

And must this body die?

Hymnal: BW1870 #476 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie mould'ring in the clay? 2 God, my Redeemer lives, And often, from the skies, Looks down and watches all my dust, Till He shall bid it rise. 3 Array'd in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine, And ev'ry shape, and ev'ry face, Look heavenly and divine. 4 These lively hopes we owe To Jesus' dying love; We would adore His grace below, And sing His power above. 5 Dear Lord, accept the praise Of these our humble songs, Till tunes of nobler sound we raise With our immortal tongues.

And shall we still be slaves

Hymnal: BW1870 #355 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And shall we still be slaves, And in our fetters lie, When summon'd by a voice divine T'assert our liberty? 2 Did the great Saviour bleed, Our freedom to obtain? And shall we trample on His blood, And glory in our chain? 3 Shall we go on to sin, Because Thy grace abounds; Or crucify the Lord again, And open all His wounds? 4 Forbid it, mighty God! Nor let it e'er be said, That those for whom Thy Son has died, In vice are lost and dead. 5 The man that durst despise The law that Moses brought, Behold! how terribly he dies For his presumptuous fault. 6 But sorer vengeance falls On that rebellious race, Who hate to hear when Jesus calls, And dare resist His grace.

And will the Judge descend?

Hymnal: BW1870 #570 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And will the Judge descend? And must the dead arise, And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes? 2 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day, When earth and heaven, before His face Astonish'd shrink away? 3 But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark, from the gospel's gentle voice, What joyful tidings spread? 4 Ye sinners, seek His grace, Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His cross, And find salvation there. 5 So shall that curse remove, By which the Saviour bled; And the last awful day shall pour His blessings on your head.

Angels! from the realms of glory

Hymnal: BW1870 #234 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Angels! from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o'er all the earth; Ye who sang creation's story, Now proclaim Messiah's birth: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 2 Shepherds! in the fields abiding, Watching o'er your flocks by night, God with man is now residing, Yonder shines the infant light: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 3 Sages! leave your contemplations; Brighter visions beam afar: Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King. 4 Saints! before the altar bending, Watching long in hope and fear, Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear: Come and worship-- Worship Christ, the new-born King.
