And must I part with all I have

Author: Beddome Hymnal: VoP1873 #406 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And must I part with all I have, Jesus, my Lord, for thee? This is my joy, since thou hast done Much more than this for me. 2 Yes, let it go--one look from thee Will more than make amends For all the losses I sustain Of credit, riches, friends. 3 Ten thousand worlds, ten thousand lives, How worthless they appear, Compared with thee, supremely good, Divinely bright and fair! 4 Saviour of souls, while I from thee A single smile obtain, Though destitute of all things else, I'll glory in my gain.

And must this body die?

Author: Watts Hymnal: VoP1873 #884 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And must this body die? This mortal frame decay? And must these active limbs of mine Lie moldering 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 Arrayed in glorious grace Shall these vile bodies shine; And every shape and every 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.

Angels, from the realms of glory

Author: Montgomery Hymnal: VoP1873 #162 (1873) 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. 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. Topics: Christ Incarnation; Worship of Christ Scripture: Haggai 2:7

Angels our march oppose

Author: C. Wesley Hymnal: VoP1873 #641 (1873) Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Angels our march oppose, Who still in strength excel-- Our secret, sworn, eternal foes, Countless, invisible; From thrones of glory driven, By flaming vengeance hurled, They throng the air, and darken heaven, And rule this lower world. 2 But shall believers fear? But shall believers fly? Or see the bloody cross appear, And all their powers defy? By all hell's host withstood; We all hell's host o'erthrow; And, conq'ring them through Jesus' blood, We on to conquer go.

Another six days' work is done

Author: Stennett Hymnal: VoP1873 #530 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Another six days' work is done, Another Sabbath is begun: Return, my soul, enjoy thy rest, Improve the day thy God has blest. 2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns So sweet a rest to wearied minds; Provides an antepast of heaven, And gives this day the food of seven. 3 Oh, that our thoughts and thanks may rise As grateful incense to the skies; And draw from heaven that sweet repose Which none, but he who feels it, knows. 4 With joy, great God! thy works we view In various scenes, both old and new; With praise we think of mercies past, With hope we future pleasures taste. 5 In holy duties let the day, In holy pleasures pass away: How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend, In hope of one that ne'er shall end.
